A.) The state or any political subdivision of
the state shall not accept a bid on a public works project subject
to the Public Works Minimum Wage Act from a contractor that
does not provide proof of required registration for itself or
its subcontractors. The registration fee is $200 and is deposited
in the labor enforcement fund.

state treasury. The fund shall consist of contractor and subcontractor
registration fees collected by the labor and industrial division

from the fund. The fund shall be administered by the division
and money in the fund is appropriated to the division for administration
and enforcement of the Public Works Minimum Wage Act [13-4-10

fund at the end of a fiscal year.
