The form requires contractors to certify compliance with Pennsylvania's Unemployment Compensation Law, Workers' Compensation Law, and a comprehensive list of state labor and workforce safety laws covering areas such as workplace misclassification, child labor, minimum wage, prevailing wage, equal pay, employment record inspections, and apprenticeship requirements. Contractors must have an authorized official execute the certification, which includes printed name, title, and signature, along with the contractor or grantee name and certification date.

The certification carries significant legal consequences for non-compliance, as Pennsylvania law imposes penalties including contract termination and three-year debarment from bidding on state contracts under 62 Pa. C.S. § 531. Contractors must report any changes in compliance status to the Purchasing Agency immediately upon occurrence. The form is subject to the provisions and penalties of 18 Pa. C.S. § 4904 regarding unsworn falsification to authorities, making false certification a criminal matter. The form was published on February 7, 2022 and applies to the Department of Transportation's contract for rental of a Dry Ice Blaster machine with after cooler and specified accessories.
