SB111 reinstates prevailing wage laws for public improvement projects in West Virginia.

SB111 amends the West Virginia Code to reestablish prevailing wage laws for public improvement projects. The bill mandates that public authorities ascertain fair minimum wage rates from the State Commissioner of Labor before advertising for bids on public improvement contracts. Contractors and subcontractors must pay wages not less than these fair minimum rates. The Division of Labor determines prevailing wages annually, considering collective bargaining agreements and general wage rates in the locality.
