Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill may increase the number of projects that are considered public works and thus subject to prevailing wage requirements. Any new projects now considered public works undertaken by the State could face increased costs as a result of needing to meet prevailing wage requirements. No estimate of the number of projects that may be affected is made at this time, but the number is not expected to be significant.
