Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey public entities, such as the state and its local governments, to enter into project labor agreements for certain public works projects costing $3 million or more. Project labor agreements are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements that aim to ensure fair labor practices and promote project stability. The bill amends existing law to lower the threshold for requiring these agreements, expanding their application to a wider range of public projects. It also clarifies definitions related to apprenticeships, disadvantaged communities, and labor organizations.
