HD 1242 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to transparency in employee benefits reporting in private construction

HD 1242 requires employers on private construction projects exceeding $750,000 to post specific transparency information at job sites. It mandates that employers display a department-issued compliance certificate confirming registered status and payment of benefits, a notice with workers' compensation details, and maintain a sign-in log tracking all workers' names, contact info, trade licenses, and times. This applies to projects defined as private residential dwellings over 10 units or commercial/industrial developments over 5,000 square feet. The law directly affects employers and contractors working on qualifying large-scale construction sites, ensuring public visibility of compliance with labor benefit requirements.
