Officials in Pittsburgh have not gone as far as introducing specific legislation to address malfeasance in its local construction industry, but the city council did create the Joint Task Force on Construction Industry Fraud. The task force will focus on unfair trade practices, tax fraud and wage violations and will make policy and other long-term recommendations after it has reviewed local industry practices.
Sometimes lawmakers get together to combat specific acts of fraud, and that is the case in Florida’s Panhandle.
