Chamber Passed·6/9/25
Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB846 amends the Prevailing Wage Act to clarify definitions, specifications, and prevailing wage rates for public work projects.

Pennsylvania HB846 amends the Prevailing Wage Act to redefine "public work" to include custom fabrication and repair work, excluding maintenance work. It mandates that contract specifications must state the minimum wage for workmen, including those engaged in custom fabrication. The Secretary of Labor and Industry must determine the prevailing minimum wage rate for each craft or classification needed for public work projects. The act also clarifies that custom fabrication work must adhere to the same compliance and reporting requirements as other public work.
