An Act relative to fair wages on government subsidized construction projects

This bill requires that workers on government-subsidized construction projects in Massachusetts receive wages at least equal to the rates set by the state commissioner. It specifically applies to projects funded through various tax incentives, such as tax increment financing plans, historic rehabilitation tax credits, and housing development programs. The law mandates that employers submit weekly certified payroll reports to the granting authority and allows any interested party to request copies of these records for inspection. By tying wage standards to existing tax relief mechanisms, the measure aims to ensure fair compensation for mechanics, laborers, and apprentices on publicly supported building work.
