Revised Project Labor Agreement Cost Threshold Amendment Act of 2023

This bill lowers the cost threshold for requiring Project Labor Agreements on public construction projects in the District of Columbia from $75 million to $50 million, starting with projects planned for the 2026-2032 fiscal period. Under the new rules, any construction contract meeting this lower cost limit must include a plan to spend money on local certified and equity impact businesses. Additionally, the agreement must detail specific efforts to recruit minority group members, residents of disadvantaged communities, and women for employment and apprenticeship roles on the site. These changes directly affect contractors bidding on large public works projects and aim to increase diversity and local economic participation in the construction industry.
