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 amends existing law to allow municipalities, counties, school districts, and fire districts to voluntarily enter into project labor agreements, which are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements for specific construction projects, for public works projects that cost less than the current $5 million threshold. This change provides these local government entities with the flexibility to use project labor agreements for smaller projects if they determine it will promote labor stability, ensure cost-effectiveness, skilled labor, quality, and timely completion, without altering the general $5 million threshold for other public entities.
