Requires certain contracts entered into by the department of social and health services to contain an assurance of the contractor's commitment to ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of services subject to the contract, rather than an assurance of a commitment to maintain harmonious labor relations. Removes a provision allowing for the assurance to take the form of a labor peace agreement. Removes the option for a contractor, as part of its assurance, to commit to recognizing a labor organization by cross- check. Removes the provision specifying that, for the purposes of goods and services contracts, the two or more violations of the national labor relations act that are grounds for debarment must occur within one or more decisions.
