An Act amending the act of August 15, 1961 (P.L.987, No.442), known as the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, further providing for definitions.
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act to update the definitions of "public body," "public work," and "underground infrastructure work." It clarifies that public bodies include the state, local governments, and their agencies, while specifying that public work covers construction projects over $25,000 excluding maintenance and certain training programs. The legislation also explicitly excludes electric distribution companies from the definition of public utility and limits public work for utilities to underground infrastructure only. These changes aim to ensure that prevailing wage requirements apply clearly to specific government-funded construction projects and utility underground systems.
