What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill eliminates the requirement for the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to index dollar amounts for certain public projects. Current law sets forth provisions that are required to be included in certain contracts with the state or with local units of government for public improvements or other public works. The required provisions vary depending on the amount of money involved in the contract. Current law lists certain requirements for every contract involving $10,000 or more for performing, furnishing, or procuring labor, services, materials, plans, or specifications, and other requirements for every contract involving $30,000 or more for those items.
Current law requires varying provisions in state contracts for public improvements or other public works involving more than $10,000 but less than $100,000, in contracts involving more than $100,000 but less than $250,000, and in contracts involving more than $250,000. Current law also requires varying provisions in local government contracts for public improvements and other public works involving more than $10,000 but less than $50,000, in contracts involving more than $50,000 but less than $100,000, and in contracts involving more than $100,000.

Current law requires DWD to index the dollar amounts biennially and to keep adjustments proportional to the last adjustment. Under current law, DWD need not make an adjustment for a biennium if the adjustment would be less than five percent.
This bill sets the dollar amounts involved in the contracts for public improvements or other public works at their current indexed levels and eliminates future indexing.
