AI Summary

This bill creates a new act that requires prevailing wages and fringe benefits to be paid to construction mechanics on state-funded projects. The key provisions include: 1) defining the terms used in the act, such as "construction mechanic" and "contracting agent"; 2) requiring contracts for state projects to include a term that the wages and benefits paid to construction mechanics must be at least the prevailing rates in the locality; 3) requiring the Commissioner of Labor and Economic Opportunity to determine the prevailing rates and include them in the project specifications; 4) allowing the Commissioner to hold public hearings to determine the prevailing rates; 5) requiring contractors and subcontractors to post the prevailing rates on the construction site and keep records of the wages and benefits paid; and 6) allowing the contracting agent to terminate a contractor's right to proceed if they fail to pay the prevailing rates. The act also establishes penalties for violations and exempts certain projects from its requirements.
