AN ACT CONCERNING PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS AND THRESHOLDS.

HB 5094 amends Connecticut law to strengthen prevailing wage requirements for public construction projects and increase the cost threshold triggering those requirements. The bill raises the total project cost limit that determines which public construction projects must pay prevailing wages to workers, meaning more projects will now be exempt from these wage rules. It directly affects construction workers on public projects and state/local government agencies managing construction contracts. The key change is increasing the cost threshold, shifting which projects must comply with prevailing wage standards. This policy adjustment changes the scope of existing wage protections without altering the wage rates themselves.
