LD 1419 - Prevailing Wage

(2023)

An Act to Inform Fair Minimum Rates of Wages and Benefits in Bids for Public Contracts Using State & Federal Data

LD 1419 bill text Maine AFL-CIO Supported

Sponsored by Representative Rebecca Millett

What is the bill?

Prevailing wage laws require a basic wage standard on publicly funded construction projects. These laws ensure that state, municipal and federal governments, as major purchasers of construction services, do not depress wages. LD 1419 will strengthen prevailing wages on state-funded construction projects by ensuring that Maine’s prevailing wage rates accurately reflect the wages in an increasingly competitive labor market for construction.
