California AB1198 modifies prevailing wage determinations for public works projects, excluding certain housing developments.

California AB1198 amends the Labor Code to change how prevailing wage rates are determined for public works projects. It specifies that changes in wage rates will not affect contracts where notice to bidders has been published or already awarded. The new rules apply to contracts awarded after July 1, 2027, and exclude housing developments where all units are restricted as affordable housing for low or moderate-income families. The changes become effective July 1, 2027, and are repealed January 1, 2028.
