school district shall certify that each employe of the
contractor or subcontractor working at the school construction
site has complied with section 111 of the act of March 10, 1949
(P.L.30, No.14), known as the "Public School Code of 1949." The
records indicating certification of compliance shall be
submitted to the school district and the department.
(b) A contractor shall ensure that its employes wear at all
times while on a school construction site an identification
badge exhibiting that the employe is in compliance with the
requirements of subsection (a). The identification badge shall
display the following information:
(1) the person's full name;
(2) clear indication that the person is in compliance with
subsection (a); and
(3) a current photograph of the person's face.
(c) No contractor, subcontractor or employe of a contractor
or subcontractor may be granted access to a school construction
site unless the person is wearing the identification badge
required under subsection (b).
(d) In the event that the department shall determine, after
notice and hearing as required under this act, that a contractor
or subcontractor knowingly or willfully failed to comply with
the requirements of this section, the department shall notify
all school districts of the name of the contractor or
subcontractor, and no contract may be awarded to the contractor
or subcontractor or to any firm, corporation or partnership in
which the contractor or subcontractor has an interest until
three years have elapsed from the date of the notice to the
school districts or may assess a civil penalty not to exceed two
thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or both.
