Provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall make records available for inspection and copying, upon 3 business days' notice (instead of 7), to federal, State or local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in addition to the public body in charge of the public works project and the Director of Labor and his deputies and agents.

Provides that a contractor or subcontractor may be subject to debarment due to guilty verdict in addition to a conviction under specific sections of the Prevailing Wage Act.
