Copeland, its primary sponsor. Copeland's Senate Subcommittee on Crime found that up to 25% of the federal money paid for labor under prevailing wage rates was actually returned by the wage-earner as a kickback to the employing contractor or subcontractor, or to government officials.[4] Copeland proposed the bill, S. 3041, with a brief statement in the Senate on April 26, 1934, and it passed without debate in both the Senate and House of Representatives.[4] It was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 13, 1934.[4] TextThe Act is one long sentence as follows: {{quote|Whoever, by force, intimidation, or threat of procuring dismissal from employment, or by any other manner whatsoever induces any person employed in the construction, prosecution, completion or repair of any public building, public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part by loans or grants from the United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which he is entitled under his contract of employment, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.}}OperationThe Copeland Act is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor.[1] The Department of Labor publishes its applicable regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 3.[1][5] The Act originally provided for up to $5000 in fines and up to five years of imprisonment for violations.[4] The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 deleted the amount of the fine, bringing it under the general fine provisions of the federal criminal statutes.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web | url=http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/comp-copeland.htm | title=The Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act | publisher=United States Department of Labor | date=August 20, 2012 | accessdate=October 26, 2012}} 2. ^Exec.
