A bill approved by the Kaua‘i County Council by a vote of 6-1 in the fall of 2022 hopes to discourage unfair labor practices by requiring permit-holders to disclose information on contractors working on a construction site.
Bill No. 2873 added a section to the county code requiring contractors to keep their permits up to date with current information on the licensed contractors working on projects, while also requiring the disclosure of any violations and disciplinary actions against permitted contractors.
“We want to ensure that there’s up-to-date information that the licensed contractors working on the project are the contractors that are actually working on the project,” said County Managing Director at the time Mike Dahilig, who presented the bill to the council before it was ultimately passed and signed into law by Mayor Derek Kawakami.
