Relating to the prevailing rate of wage; prescribing an effective date.

Summary

The Senate bill amends Oregon law to narrow what counts as a public agency’s funds and to carve out exemptions from prevailing‑wage rules for low‑cost projects, projects without public money, and certain privately owned or affordable‑housing projects. It mainly affects construction contracts that would otherwise have to pay prevailing wages, reducing those obligations for the listed categories. The changes aim to lessen regulatory burdens on small or privately financed work while preserving wage protections for larger public projects.
