Bill overview
This bill, the Davis-Bacon Repeal Act, aims to eliminate the Davis-Bacon Act’s wage requirements, which mandate that laborers and mechanics working on federally funded construction projects be paid prevailing wages. The bill proposes repealing the specific section of the United States Code that governs these requirements. It would take effect 30 days after the bill’s passage, but would not impact existing contracts or those issued before that date. This change would shift wage determination for federally funded construction to the discretion of the contractors and local market conditions.
