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.
