The 2010 Legislature enacted SB 2840, HD1 (Act 68) that took effect on April 29, 2010. The description of the Act states:
Requires at least eighty per cent of workers on construction procurements to be Hawaii residents; provides sanctions for noncompliance including temporary suspension of control work, payment withholding, disqualification from the project, recovery of contract payments, and disbarment or suspension. (SB2840 HD1).
