Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would repeal the federal Davis-Bacon Act's wage rules, found in subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40 of the U.S. Code. Those rules require prevailing wages on certain federal construction contracts. Any reference in other laws to these requirements would become null and void. The repeal would take effect 30 days after the bill becomes law. It would not apply to contracts already in place at that time, or to contracts made from bid invitations still open then.
