GLASS Report: Legislative Action Alert: Regular Session 2015-2016: Senate Bill 349



Short Title: An Act amending the act of August 15, 1961 (P.L.987, No.442), known as the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, further providing for duty of secretary.

Prime Sponsor: Senator SMUCKER

Last Action: Referred to LABOR AND INDUSTRY, Jan. 28, 2015 [Senate]



Printer's No.: 256*


MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 2, 2014 02:01 PM
From:   Senator Lloyd Smucker
To:       All Senate members

Subject: Prevailing Wage - Occupational Wage Rates

In the near future, I plan to re-introduce SB 273, which would amend the Prevailing Wage Act. The bill would supplant the current prevailing wage calculation with the Occupational Wage Rates.  This change would apply to each county's wage rate respective and will more closely align them with market rates, potentially reducing project costs for local municipalities.

Introduced as SB349
