Introduced

To impose a “prevailing wage” mandate that would prohibit a person from awarding a contract to the lowest bidder for a “renewable energy project” unless the contractor pays wages based on pay scales that local union officials represent as prevalent in a particular area. A version of this “prevailing wage” policy that applied to state and local government construction projects was repealed by an initiated law in 2018; this bill appears to extend that same mandate to private sector businesses and homeowners.
