The bill aims to grant local governments in Kansas the authority to control wages, compensation, and benefits for construction projects. It amends existing statutes K.S.A. 12-16,132 and 19-26,114, declaring that any city ordinance or county resolution that conflicts with K.S.A. 12-16,130 is void and against the public policy of the state. The bill also repeals K.S.A. 12-16,131, which previously provided additional regulations in this area.

Specifically, the amendments replace the term "which" with "that" in the context of conflicting ordinances and resolutions, streamlining the legal language. The repeal of K.S.A. 12-16,131 and the amendments to K.S.A. 12-16,132 and 19-26,114 reflect a shift in policy to allow local governments more autonomy in managing construction-related wages and benefits. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
