AI Summary

This bill amends the law regarding the determination of the prevailing wage for public works projects. It specifies that the industrial statistician of the Department of Labor and Industries shall establish the prevailing wage by adopting the hourly wage, usual benefits, and overtime paid under collective bargaining agreements in the geographic jurisdiction. For trades and occupations without collective bargaining agreements, the industrial statistician shall conduct wage and hour surveys to determine the prevailing rate. The bill also allows interested parties to contest the industrial statistician's determination by providing evidence that the actual rate used is less than the rate representing the majority or preponderance of hours worked.
