Bill Summary
This bill amends P.L.2002, c.44 to permit a municipality, county, school district, or fire district to include the use of a project labor agreement for a public works project that does not meet the total project cost established for public works projects. Under current law, the minimum cost of a public works project, which may include a project labor agreement, is $5 million. The bill does not alter the existing threshold for public works projects.
AI Summary
This bill allows municipalities, counties, school districts, and fire districts to enter into project labor agreements, which are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements for specific construction projects, even if the total cost of the project is less than the current $5 million threshold. The bill amends existing law to permit these local government entities to decide whether to include a project labor agreement for public works projects that do not meet the $5 million minimum cost, without altering the existing threshold for public works projects in general.
