The resolution urges the United States Congress and the President to repeal Executive Order 14063, which mandates the use of project labor agreements for federal construction projects with an estimated cost of $35 million or more. A project labor agreement is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with a labor organization, and the resolution highlights that this requirement could restrict employment opportunities for South Dakotans who are not members of a labor organization, particularly in relation to construction projects at the Ellsworth Air Force Base.

The resolution emphasizes that South Dakota is a right-to-work state, meaning individuals cannot be compelled to join a labor organization. By advocating for the removal of the project labor agreement requirement, the resolution seeks to ensure that all qualified workers in South Dakota have the opportunity to participate in federal construction projects without being limited by union membership. The resolution was adopted by the South Dakota House of Representatives on February 12, 2025, and concurred by the Senate on February 21, 2025.
