The City Council unanimously approved an ordinance requiring contractors and subcontractors to disclose specific information when applying for permits for certain larger construction projects in Culver City.
Contractors must disclose whether they have any pending or final determinations of state or federal labor violations and whether they paid any penalties to any government agencies related to such violations. The violation disclosure period is five years.
It also requires disclosure of the State contractor license number, the State contractor license category, and a City business license. The disclosures are required prior to permit issuance. If there is a change in the information after the permit is issued, the City must be notified within 72 hours of the contractor becoming aware of the change.
Failure to comply with the ordinance results in one or a collective of the following actions as determined by the Building Official: stop work order, revocation of the permit, and penalties in the amount equal to the original permit fee.
