This bill aims to grant local governments in Kansas greater control over wages, compensation, and benefits for construction projects. It amends existing statutes K.S.A. 12-16,132 and 19-26,114, specifically stating that any city ordinance or county resolution that conflicts with K.S.A. 12-16,130 is declared void and against public policy. The bill also repeals K.S.A. 12-16,131, which previously provided additional regulations in this area.
The amendments include changing the language from "which" to "that" in the context of city ordinances and county resolutions, clarifying the legal framework regarding conflicts with state law. Additionally, the repeal of K.S.A. 12-16,131 removes previous provisions that may have limited local control over employment matters related to construction projects. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
