William Wilson, II and Al DiVincentis, members of the Halloran & Sage Construction Law Practice Group will team up to teach “Ethics: A new Minefield for the Public Works Contractor” for the Construction Institute on Tuesday, May 8, 2007. After extensive activity aimed at reforming the state contracting process in both the legislative and executive branches, Public Acts, 05-287 and 05-183 were signed into law in 2005. Combined, these two Public Acts repealed and replaced nearly all of the relevant Code of Ethics statutes (C.G.S. §§ 1 -79 through 1 – 89) and created new far-reaching laws (§§ 1 – 101mm through 1 – 101rr). The course will focus on how these ethics laws are affecting nearly all public work performed by both resident and non-resident contractors.
The Construction Institute, a division of The University of Hartford, is a non-profit, non-partisan association of diverse professionals working to improve the construction industry by sharing experiences and knowledge, advancing relationships, and developing business leaders.
