HD 1872 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to prevailing wages

This bill amends Massachusetts prevailing wage laws to include certain bona fide apprenticeship and training programs. It directly affects construction projects that utilize these specific training initiatives, ensuring they qualify for prevailing wage requirements. The key provision expands the definition of eligible projects to cover apprenticeships that meet established standards, thereby extending wage protections to workers in these programs. This change aims to align training program participants with the wage standards applied to other skilled labor on public works projects.
