Bill > HB05093

This bill aims to expand the use of project labor agreements (PLAs) by state agencies and their grant recipients. A project labor agreement is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that establishes the terms and conditions of work for a specific construction project, typically covering wages, benefits, working conditions, and labor-management procedures. The bill would require or encourage state agencies and entities receiving state grants or renewable energy contracts to utilize PLAs more frequently. By mandating or promoting the use of PLAs, the legislation seeks to potentially standardize labor practices, ensure consistent wages and working conditions, reduce potential labor disputes, and potentially improve workforce coordination on state-funded construction projects. The bill appears to be part of a broader effort to strengthen labor standards and workforce engagement in state-funded construction and infrastructure development.
