Rhode Island H7972 amends the process for creating and governing project labor agreements (PLAs) for public works projects. The bill aims to protect investments in public works projects, promote successful construction delivery, and offset performance risks through the use of PLAs. It mandates that PLAs include provisions such as binding all contractors and subcontractors, allowing competition without regard to union affiliation, containing guarantees against strikes and job disruptions, and setting forth procedures for resolving labor disputes.
