The bill amends the Public Works Minimum Wage Act to include a new definition for "site of the project." This definition specifies that the site encompasses not only the physical location of a public works project but also any off-site fabrication locations involved in the production of heating, cooling, ventilation, or exhaust duct systems integral to the project. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "wage" to refer specifically to the basic hourly rate of pay.

The changes made by this bill are significant as they expand the scope of what constitutes the project site, thereby potentially impacting labor regulations and wage determinations for workers involved in both on-site and off-site activities related to public works projects. The provisions of this act will apply to all requests for proposals, invitations for bids, or other procurement processes for public works projects initiated on or after July 1, 2025.
