An Act relative to the prevailing wage in the town of Chatham
This bill exempts the town of Chatham from Massachusetts state prevailing wage laws for public construction projects costing $50,000 or less. By removing this requirement, contractors working on small-scale projects in Chatham will no longer be legally obligated to pay workers a specific wage rate determined by the state. The change applies only to projects within the town's jurisdiction that fall under the specified cost threshold, leaving larger projects and other municipalities unaffected.
