AI Summary
This bill, the Davis-Bacon Repeal Act, proposes to repeal the wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act. The Davis-Bacon Act is a federal law that requires contractors working on certain government-funded construction projects to pay their workers the local prevailing wage. The bill would eliminate this requirement, allowing contractors to pay workers less than the prevailing wage on these federally-funded projects. The bill would take effect 30 days after enactment but would not affect existing contracts or those made pursuant to outstanding invitations for bids.
