Expands the definition of "public works" to include various construction and maintenance projects.
The bill amends the Prevailing Wage Act to broaden the definition of "public works." It now includes construction projects involving fixtures or permanent attachments on light poles, corrective actions under the Environmental Protection Act, fiber optic cable projects exceeding 15 aggregate miles, and construction projects in public rights-of-way. The definition also includes projects financed by bonds, grants, loans, or other funds from the state or its political subdivisions. This expansion ensures that the prevailing wage requirements apply to a wider range of public works projects.
