Bill Summary

A bill to amend 2023 PA 10, entitled"An act to require prevailing wages and fringe benefits on state projects; to establish the requirements and responsibilities of contracting agents and bidders; to make appropriations for the implementation of this act; and to prescribe penalties,"by amending section 9 (MCL 408.1109).

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing prevailing wage law to clarify the applicability of the act to certain state projects. Specifically, the bill modifies the exemption for state projects funded by millages, bonds, or bond proposals authorized under the revised school code. The key change is that projects paid for by bonds or bond proposals authorized before February 13, 2024, will be exempt from the prevailing wage requirements. Previously, the law did not explicitly mention bonds in this exemption. The bill adjusts the language to clarify that contracts and bids made before February 13, 2024, are also not subject to the prevailing wage act. In practical terms, this means that certain school-related construction or improvement projects funded by bonds approved prior to the specified date will not be required to pay prevailing wages to workers, potentially reducing labor costs for these projects.
