SB 54 amends Michigan's prevailing wage law (MCL 408.1109) to exempt certain state projects funded by school bonds from prevailing wage requirements. It specifically applies to projects paid for by millage, bond, or bond proposal revenue authorized under the Revised School Code (1976 PA 451) before February 13, 2024. The bill removes the requirement for contractors on these pre-existing school bond-funded projects to pay prevailing wages or fringe benefits. This change directly affects construction workers and contractors working on school infrastructure projects financed through bonds approved prior to the law's effective date.
