Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to the state’s public works law that requires state agencies to favor project labor agreements (PLAs) on contracts worth $25 million or more. Agencies can opt out only with a documented, senior‑level determination and must then require a detailed craft‑labor staffing plan from bidders. The goal is to ensure a reliable, skilled workforce and reduce project risk.
