- Description:
- The document discusses a bill introduced to require contractors on public building projects to name their subcontractors, materialmen, and supply men in order to eliminate the practice of bid peddling and chiseling by general contractors. The bill aims to protect subcontractors and ensure proper workmanship and materials are used on government projects. There is a debate on whether this requirement may lead to higher bids from contractors, but overall, the bill is seen as necessary to prevent unethical practices in the construction industry.
