Introduced
by
To suspend the enforcement of the state “prevailing wage” law during a period when employers are forced to pay additional taxes to make up a gap or repay federal loans to make up a gap between the amount of unemployment taxes collected from employers and the benefits paid to workers. The “prevailing wage” law prohibits awarding government contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays union pay scales.
