An Act clarifying the prevailing wage act to protect actions by the attorney general
This bill amends Massachusetts wage laws to extend the deadline for workers to file claims. It directly affects employees who believe they were denied prevailing wages (common in construction on public projects), pausing the standard 3-year filing deadline when they file a complaint with the Attorney General. The pause continues until the Attorney General either authorizes a private lawsuit or finalizes their own enforcement action. This change gives workers more time to pursue claims while the Attorney General investigates or acts on their complaint.
