GovExec Daily: The Problems with the Proposed USDA Regs
Stan Soloway joins the podcast to discuss new labor rules at Agriculture.
A newly-proposed USDA contracting regulation would require every contractor on every bid to certify their compliance with every statute, list every violation they have ever had and define what was done to mitigate the violations. Our guest today writes in a post on our site that the regulation, if enacted, would be a mess for compliance and is likely illegal.
