Section 68.1 - Summary of controlling law and regulations(a) A Director of Contract Compliance operating within the Human Relations Commission, assisted by a Contract Compliance Officer functioning in the Department of General Services, will assemble relevant employment information and review compliance procedures of entities holding State contracts with a view toward determining whether contractors are in compliance with the law, Executive Orders and regulations.(b) In a case where a contractor is found not to be in compliance, he shall, after consultation with the Department of General Services Contract Compliance Officer, make a specific commitment in writing, which may include adoption of an affirmative action program as described in 16 Pa. Code § §49.51-49.52 (relating to affirmative action program), to correct deficiencies as are found. Reference should be made to 16 Pa. Code §49.37 (relating to notifying contractor).(c) When an Affirmative Action Program exists, no contractor's compliance status shall be judged solely by whether or not he reaches his goals or meets his timetables.

Reference should be made to 16 Pa. Code §49.61 (relating to compliance status).The provisions of this §68.1 adopted August 3, 1979, effective 8/4/1979, 9 Pa.B. 2523.
