Bill overview
This bill changes how prevailing wage rates are updated for public works projects in California. Currently, rates are adjusted quarterly. This bill shifts the timeframe to semiannual reviews, starting July 1, 2026. It also establishes a process for contractors and awarding bodies to challenge the director’s rate determination if they believe it’s incorrect, offering a 20-day window to file a petition and triggering a review process. Certain housing projects are exempt from these changes.
