Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to ‘‘Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulation’’.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, passed by Congress, formally rejects and nullifies a new regulation proposed by the Department of Labor concerning the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. The Davis-Bacon Act requires contractors on federal construction projects to pay their laborers and mechanics wages that are at least equal to the prevailing wages determined by the Secretary of Labor for the locality in which the work is performed. The "Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulation" refers to the specific changes the Department of Labor intended to make to these rules, which were published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2023. By disapproving this rule, Congress is preventing these updates from taking effect, meaning the existing regulations will remain in place. This action is taken under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which outlines the process for Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies.
