The bill aims to restore local government control over wages, compensation, and benefits for construction projects by amending existing Kansas statutes K.S.A. 12-16,132 and K.S.A. 19-26,114. It specifies that any city ordinance or county resolution that conflicts with K.S.A. 12-16,130 is declared void and against the public policy of the state. The language in the bill replaces the term "which" with "that" in both sections, streamlining the legal text.
Additionally, the bill repeals the existing sections K.S.A. 12-16,132 and K.S.A. 19-26,114, effectively removing previous provisions that may have limited local control over construction project regulations. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, signaling a shift towards empowering local governments in managing construction-related employment matters.
