 To amend the Davis-Bacon Act to provide that a contractor under that 
Act who has repeated violations of the Act shall have its contract with

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REPEATED VIOLATIONS.

    Section 3 of the Act of March 3, 1931 (40 U.S.C. 276a-2) (known as 
the Davis-Bacon Act) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(c) If the Secretary determines that a contractor under a 
contract with the United States has established a pattern of violations 
of this Act the Secretary shall cancel such contract and establish that 
such contractor is ineligible to receive a contract with the United 
States for a 10 year period unless the contractor is able to show the 
Secretary that such violations were not intentional but were the result 
of simple and unsystematic error.
