Senate BillNo. 7


Introduced by Senator Steinberg

December 3, 2012


An act to amend Section 1724 of the Labor Code, relating to public works.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 7, as introduced, Steinberg. Public works: where performed.

Existing law requires that, except as specified, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, as specified, be paid to workers employed on public works projects. Existing law defines the locality in which a public work is performed as the county in which the public work is done, in cases in which the contract is awarded by the state, and as the limits of the political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is awarded, in other cases.

This bill would instead define the locality in which a public work is performed as the county in which the public work is done.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
