summary
This amendment, which is the majority report of the committee, specifies that a public authority may not impose as a condition of awarding a bid a requirement on an employer to enter into or comply with certain agreements with labor organizations. The amendment removes an employee of a bidder, contractor or subcontractor for a public works contract and a taxpayer from the definition of "interested party," which describes those who have standing to bring action to challenge the awarding of a public works contract for violating these provisions. It clarifies that the court determines other appropriate relief to be awarded in an action rather than stating that an interested party that prevails in an action is entitled to any other appropriate relief requested by that party.
