Excludes certain properties from definition of public work and payment of prevailing wage under certain conditions.

This bill amends New Jersey's prevailing wage laws to exclude specific types of construction and maintenance work from requiring union-scale wages. It clarifies that work on properties owned or leased by public bodies does not count as "public work" if the site is in a distressed area, temporarily closed to the public for events, limited to short-term installations under 21 days, or involves no permanent structural changes. Additionally, the legislation defines "maintenance work" to include repairs exceeding $50,000 that require bidding and exceed the capabilities of in-house staff. These changes directly affect contractors and public agencies by narrowing the scope of projects where workers must be paid prevailing wage rates.
