Requiring certain wages in public works contracts to be at least the prevailing wage in effect when the work is performed.

This bill requires that workers on public works projects, such as construction or repair for the state or local governments, be paid at least the prevailing wage rate that is in effect when the work is performed, rather than the rate at the time bids are due. This means wages for laborers, workers, and mechanics will be adjusted over time to match updated prevailing wage rates published by the Department of Labor and Industries. The bill also clarifies how wage differences are handled if a project initially classified as residential construction is later determined to be commercial.
