Public works: City of Los Angeles: graffiti abatement.

Existing law generally requires that not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, as specified, be paid to workers employed on a public work, as defined. Existing law sets forth the penalties for a violation of this requirement. Existing law prohibits a charter city from receiving or using state funding or financial assistance for a construction project if the charter city has a charter that does not require, or the charter city has not required within the last 2 years, compliance with these provisions on a public works contract, as specified. This bill would exempt from the requirement to pay a prevailing wage of per diem wages, until January 1, 2024, graffiti abatement work performed pursuant to a contract between the City of Los Angeles and a nonprofit community-based organization if the work is performed by specified individuals. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Los Angeles.
