BILL NUMBER:S3213 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to applying the prevailing wage laws to certain projects on privately owned property PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to provide prevailing wages to workers on certain construction projects. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would expand prevailing wage requirements to privately owned projects that receive public funds or financial incentives when such project involves the construction of more than fifty dwelling units and less than fifty percent of such units are reserved for occupancy by individuals or families with a gross income at or below 125% of the area median income.
