Labor: hours and wages; state projects paid for by bond proposals; exempt from prevailing wage act. Amend sec. 9 of 2023 PA 10 (MCL 408.1109).

This bill exempts certain state construction projects from the prevailing wage requirements established by the 2023 Prevailing Wage Act. Specifically, it applies to projects funded by school-related millages, bonds, or bond proposals that were authorized before February 13, 2024. By creating this exception, the legislation ensures that construction work on these specific school-funded projects does not need to pay the mandated hourly rates and fringe benefits required for other state projects. The change directly affects contractors and bidders who would otherwise be subject to those wage rules on the exempted projects.
