Bill overview
This bill proposes a change to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to encourage the use of project labor agreements for offshore wind energy development. If a company bidding for a lease commits to using such an agreement, they will receive a 10% credit towards the value of their bid. The bill defines a ‘project labor agreement’ as a collective bargaining agreement that sets terms and conditions for employees working on specific projects. This aims to support union labor and potentially streamline construction projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.
