SB 1370 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING WORKERS PERFORMING OFF-SITE CUSTOM FABRICATION FOR A PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT TO BE PAID PREVAILING WAGE RATES.

SB 1370 requires contractors working on public works projects to pay workers performing off-site custom fabrication the local prevailing wage rate. This applies to workers building specific systems (like plumbing, heating, or ventilation) at a separate location but made exclusively for a public project, excluding standard stock materials. The law expands existing prevailing wage requirements - previously covering on-site work - to include this off-site fabrication, effective July 1, 2025. It directly affects construction workers and contractors on state or local government public projects.

Raised Bill → LAB Joint Favorable Substitute · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended from a 'Raised Bill' to a 'Joint Favorable Substitute' version, incorporating changes recommended by the Labor and Public Employees Committee. The most significant substantive change is the removal of a detailed definition of 'off-site custom fabrication' that listed specific systems like plumbing, heating, and cooling, replacing it with a more concise version. The bill's effective date and section number remain unchanged.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the changes are primarily formatting and definitional simplification.
DEFINITION

The detailed list of systems included in 'off-site custom fabrication' was simplified from a multi-line definition to a single-line version, removing specific examples like 'pipefitting systems' and 'exhaust duct systems' while retaining core examples.

TECHNICAL

Header information was updated to reflect the bill's progression from 'Raised Bill' to 'Substitute Bill' with updated committee designation and page numbering.

The 'Statement of Purpose' section explaining the bill's intent was removed from the final version, though the substantive requirements remain in the text.
