Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 23, United States Code, to provide for certain requirements for Federal funds allocated for State or local uses, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the "Stop Swaps, Protect Local Jobs Act", amends Title 23 of the United States Code to require states that allow subrecipients to exchange federal funds allocated under this title for state or local funds to certify to the Secretary of Transportation that they have prevailing wage requirements comparable to the federal "Davis-Bacon" requirements, and that these prevailing wage requirements will apply to any projects carried out with the exchanged state or local funds. This is intended to ensure that projects funded through these "federal funding exchange programs" still provide the same labor protections as projects directly using federal highway funds.
