Common use of Willful Violation Clause in Contracts

Willful Violation. If the Department investigates and forms a reasonable belief that there has been a willful violation of the Public Works Employment Verification Act, the Secretary of General Services of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will file a petition in Commonwealth Court seeking the Court to issue a rule to show cause why the Contractor or Subcontractor did not engage in a willful violation of the Public Works Employment Verification Act. If the Court finds that there was a willful violation, the Department will petition to have the Contractor or Subcontractor debarred from public work or public work contracts for 3 years from the date of the Court’s determination.
