Repeals provisions relating to prevailing wages on public works
HB 1931 repeals existing Missouri laws regarding prevailing wages on public works projects and replaces them with new regulations focused on construction management. The bill defines the roles of construction managers and public owners, establishing that construction managers must coordinate projects without bidding on or performing the actual construction themselves. Under the new rules, contractors must still be awarded through competitive bidding and provide payment and performance bonds, but the specific mandate for them to pay prevailing wages is removed from the text. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for nonresident employers to meet bonding and registration requirements while maintaining a clause that makes the entire act unenforceable if any part is ruled unconstitutional.
