Business Legislative updates Misclassification Issues Presentation Next Meeting Public Comment Closed Meeting Opened Meeting None Matt Boyer provided an update on discussions with Dave Spataphor regarding undocumented workers and labor brokers in the sheetrock business on construction projects. Matt indicated that DFCM is primarily concerned about any additional legislation that could increase construction costs and is trying to avoid such outcomes. Chair Hill noted potential ideas from Dave Spataphor, including strengthening existing legal enforcement or requiring documentation pre-qualification for subcontractors, though the latter was met with opposition due to data privacy concerns and general contractors' disinterest. Allyson Pettley shared that their direct supervisor, Jana Johansson, is aware of the situation and is the co-chair of the newly formed construction fraud task force. Allyson Pettley suggested that Dave Spataphor might engage this task force to investigate these issues, especially since a prosecutor for these cases is expected to be hired soon. Chair Hill reported on 32 new misclassification cases from the labor commission since the last meeting, noting that Krystal Smith is handling these cases. Krystal Smith confirmed that the activity is consistent with the previous quarter. Chair Hill offered December 2, at 9:30 a.m. for the next meeting, highlighting that the December 2nd meeting will include the annual OPMA training.
