Bill > S1288

This bill modifies Section 27D of Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws to clarify the prevailing wage law by explicitly including the inspection, testing, and repair of fire protection systems in public buildings and public works projects. Prevailing wage laws require that workers on government-funded construction projects be paid the standard wage rates for their type of work in a given geographic area. By adding language about fire protection system maintenance to the existing law, the bill ensures that workers performing these specialized tasks will be covered under the prevailing wage requirements, potentially providing more clarity and protection for workers in this specific field of building maintenance and safety.
