The bill amends the existing law regarding prevailing wages and fringe benefits on state projects, specifically focusing on the applicability of these provisions. It clarifies that the act does not apply to contracts entered into or bids made before February 13, 2024. Additionally, it specifies that the act will not apply to state projects funded, in whole or in part, by revenue from a millage, bond, or bond proposal authorized under the revised school code before the same effective date.
Furthermore, the bill introduces new language to enhance clarity regarding the conditions under which the act is applicable. It replaces the phrase "the provisions of this act shall not apply" with "this act does not apply," streamlining the legal language. The amendments aim to ensure that certain state projects funded through specific financial mechanisms are exempt from the prevailing wage requirements, thereby providing clearer guidelines for contracting agents and bidders.
