Davis-Bacon Repeal: Changes to Federal Construction Wage Requirements
This bill aims to eliminate the Davis-Bacon Act's provisions, which currently mandate minimum wage rates for workers on federal construction projects. If enacted, contractors would no longer be required to pay government-determined wages, potentially impacting construction worker earnings and the cost of publicly funded projects.
Key points
The bill removes the requirement to pay "prevailing wages" on federal construction projects.
This change could lower construction costs for the government but also potentially affect the earnings of construction workers.
Existing contracts and outstanding bids will not be affected by the new rules.
