Bill overview
This bill amends Tennessee’s Prevailing Wage Act to clarify and expand the definition of ‘state contract’ and the prevailing wage rate. Specifically, it ensures that the prevailing wage rate is paid to workers on both state highway construction projects and non-state contracts for construction projects funded by state or federal highway funds. The bill updates the legal language to more clearly define the scope of projects covered by the prevailing wage requirement. It also allows the commissioner to designate someone to determine the prevailing wage rate.
