Bill > SB226

This bill: 1) Declares the legislative intent that the payment of prevailing wages to workers on public works projects funded by public money is essential to the economic well-being, workforce development, and redevelopment opportunities in Nevada, and requires the Labor Commissioner's regulations to be consistent with this intent. 2) Allows certain tax-exempt, supporting organizations to partner with state agencies or local governments to privately finance the construction of hospitals, medical education buildings, or medical research buildings in Nevada, while exempting these projects from certain public works contracting requirements, but still requiring payment of prevailing wages, competitive bidding of subcontracts, and the use of local small businesses and apprentices. 3) Requires local governments to include prevailing wage requirements in any lease, lease-purchase, or installment-purchase agreements involving the construction, alteration, repair, or remodeling of an improvement, and for the local government, contractor, and subcontractors to comply with prevailing wage laws for such projects.
