Bill > HB2264

This bill aims to restore local government control over wages, compensation, and benefits for construction projects by modifying two existing statutes (K.S.A. 12-16,132 and 19-26,114). The bill makes minor grammatical changes to these laws, specifically replacing the word "which" with "that" when referencing city ordinances and county resolutions that might conflict with certain existing state regulations. The bill also completely repeals the existing sections of these statutes, effectively removing previous restrictions on local governments' ability to create and enforce their own rules regarding wages and benefits for construction projects. By doing so, the legislation gives cities and counties more autonomy in setting labor standards for construction work, potentially allowing them to establish local wage requirements or benefit standards that differ from state-level guidelines. The changes will take effect immediately upon publication in the state's statute book.
