This bill requires that the prevailing wage be paid to certain employees in return for their work on public works projects. This mandate covers employees that assist with plumbing, heating, and ventilation systems. CPAC recognizes that prevailing wage mandates ratchet up the cost of public projects, believes that such projects should instead be completed at the lowest cost to the taxpayer, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed this bill on May 23, 2023 by a vote of 12-8 but Governor Lombardo vetoed the bill.
