S.4797

Clarifies applicability of "New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act" to public work projects.

The bill amends the "New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act" to clarify that the act applies to all public work projects, regardless of whether the work is performed under a direct contract with a public body, on behalf of a private entity, or through various public-private arrangements. It ensures that contractors, subcontractors, and other entities performing public work are subject to the act's obligations, duties, and protections. The act defines "public work" broadly to include construction, reconstruction, demolition, alteration, custom fabrication, and maintenance work.
