About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · November 15, 2023
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This joint resolution would overturn a Department of Labor rule that updated regulations for the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, which require contractors on federally funded construction projects to pay workers prevailing wages. If passed, the rule would be nullified and have no legal effect. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a procedure that allows Congress to disapprove federal regulations within a limited timeframe. The bill was introduced by Republican representatives in November 2023 and affects federal construction projects, their contractors, and workers who would have been covered under the updated wage requirements. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the resolution, as it simply seeks to prevent the Labor Department rule from taking effect.
