Davis-Bacon Repeal Act
To repeal the wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act.
This bill, HB8602, proposes to repeal the wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets minimum wages for laborers and mechanics on federal government projects. If passed, it would eliminate these wage standards, potentially affecting construction workers and contractors who work on federally funded projects.
The bill would impact federal contractors, subcontractors, and workers employed on government projects. Without the Davis-Bacon Act's wage requirements, there might be a shift in how wages are set for these jobs, potentially leading to lower wages for some workers.
As of April 30, 2026, HB8602 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. It is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, and further actions will depend on committee review and potential floor votes.
