Rhode Island H7972 amends the process for creating and governing project labor agreements (PLAs) to ensure a reliable supply of qualified craft labor for large-scale public works projects. The bill requires state and local government contracting agencies to include PLAs in construction contracts for projects valued at $25 million or more, unless exempted. PLAs must include mandatory provisions such as binding all contractors and subcontractors, no-strike/no-lockout clauses, and a requirement that at least 15% of the workforce consists of registered apprentices.
