AN ACT CLARIFYING THE PREVAILING WAGE STATUTE.

SB 695 clarifies that Connecticut's prevailing wage law applies only when state funding for a construction project exceeds specific thresholds, and private funding spent on the project does not count toward those thresholds. It directly affects state-funded construction projects where private dollars are also involved, ensuring the law's application depends solely on state financial involvement. The bill modifies Section 31-53 of the general statutes to eliminate ambiguity about whether private contributions trigger prevailing wage requirements. This is a procedural clarification, not a policy change, to make the statute's scope clearer for contractors and project owners.
