An Act clarifying the prevailing wage law
This bill amends Massachusetts prevailing wage laws to include the inspection, testing, and repair of fire protection systems. It directly affects workers performing these specific tasks on public projects, ensuring they receive the same wage rates as those installing resilient flooring. The change clarifies the scope of the law by explicitly adding these maintenance activities to the list of covered work. This legislative update aims to standardize wage requirements for a broader range of fire safety services without altering other existing provisions.
