What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, laborers, workers, mechanics, and truck drivers employed

on the site of certain state or local projects of public works (generally single-trade

projects whose estimated cost of completion is $48,000 or more and multiple-trade

projects whose estimated cost of completion is $100,000 or more) must be paid at the

rate paid for a majority of the hours worked in the person's trade or occupation in the

county in which the project is located, as determined by the Department of Workforce

Development (prevailing wage law).

This bill exempts from the prevailing wage law a project of public works that

is intended to facilitate the reuse of a vacant or underutilized industrial facility.
