Introduced
by
To exempt school construction projects from the state “prevailing wage” law, which prohibits awarding contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays "prevailing wages," which are based on union pay scales in a particular part of a geographic region. These wage rates may be above the market rate in other parts of the region. The bill amends the school code. See also House Bill 4161.
Referred to the Committee on Employee Relations, Training, and Safety
