Bill Summary

That the town of Chatham be exempt from complying with certain labor law requirements. Labor and Workforce Development. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill exempts the town of Chatham from certain labor law requirements, specifically sections 26 through 27G of chapter 149 of the General Laws, for projects that are estimated to cost $50,000 or less. These sections of chapter 149 generally pertain to prevailing wage laws, which mandate that contractors on public works projects pay their workers wages that are at least as high as the prevailing wage rates for similar work in the locality. By granting this exemption, the town of Chatham will not be required to adhere to these prevailing wage requirements for smaller projects, making it potentially easier and less costly to undertake them. The bill also states that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
