Bill overview
This bill aims to improve how Nevada uses federal grant money for broadband development. It requires state agencies awarding these grants to evaluate applications based on factors like workforce training and job opportunities for Nevada residents. Specifically, applicants must certify that they will use a qualified workforce, either directly or through licensed contractors, and either meet safety and training requirements or be part of a collective bargaining agreement. The bill also mandates that grant recipients’ certifications are binding and that certain public works labor laws don’t apply if the work is performed by a signatory to a collective bargaining agreement.
