AI Summary

This bill requires that any government entity, referred to as an "awarding authority," that decides to mandate a project labor agreement (PLA) must submit a report to the House and Senate committees on ways and means within 60 days of that decision, explaining the legal justification for requiring the PLA. A project labor agreement is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations for the purpose of negotiating terms and conditions of employment for all laborers, mechanics, and other workers on a specific construction project, ensuring labor harmony and preventing disputes. This reporting requirement aims to provide legislative oversight on the use of PLAs, which are often used on large public construction projects.
