AB 213 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing public works projects. (BDR 28-816)

This bill expands prevailing wage requirements to include workers performing "custom fabrication" (making non-standard items specifically for public projects) on public works, performance contracts, and Tahoe-Douglas Visitor’s Authority projects. It revises definitions to clarify "custom fabrication" and ensures these workers receive the same prevailing wage rates currently required for other public work labor. The requirement applies to new contracts after January 1, 2026, but not to contracts awarded before that date. It directly affects contractors, workers, local governments, state agencies, and the Tahoe-Douglas Visitor’s Authority on eligible projects.
