Bill > HB2450

This bill amends Arizona law regarding public works contracts to prohibit state agencies and political subdivisions from requiring contractors to pay prevailing wages or enter into project labor agreements or neutrality agreements with labor organizations as a condition of bidding or performing work on public projects. Prevailing wage refers to the average wage paid to workers in a similar trade in a specific area, and a project labor agreement is a pre-hire contract with labor unions that sets terms for a construction project. The bill also removes a previous requirement for contractors to participate in or contribute to apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. The changes aim to prevent government entities from mandating these types of agreements, while still allowing private parties to engage in collective bargaining and not interfering with activities protected by federal labor law.
