What it does

The Davis-Bacon Repeal Act would repeal the wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, which currently mandates that contractors and subcontractors on federally funded or assisted construction projects pay prevailing local wages. The bill would eliminate Subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40 of the United States Code, rendering any references to those wage requirements null and void. The repeal would take effect 30 days after enactment but would not apply to existing contracts or bids outstanding at that time, primarily affecting future federally supported construction projects and the workers employed on them.
