Massachusetts H3530 aims to ensure safety and transparency in pipeline repair by regulating contractor work on public infrastructure.

Massachusetts H3530 amends existing law to mandate that any repair work on public infrastructure not performed by utility employees must follow specific regulations. It requires gas and electric utilities to request prevailing wage rate sheets from the Department of Labor every six months. The Department, in consultation with utilities, must establish a certification program for contractors and their employees within a year. This ensures safety and transparency in pipeline repair.
