AI Summary

This bill allows municipalities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to exempt certain small projects, estimated to cost $50,000 or less, from the state's prevailing wage laws. Prevailing wage laws require that workers on public construction projects be paid the local standard wage rate for their occupation. This exemption gives cities and towns the option to waive these wage requirements for smaller projects, potentially reducing costs for local governments.
