Requires public entities to enter into project labor agreements in certain public works projects at or above $3 million.

This bill requires New Jersey public entities (such as state agencies, counties, municipalities, and school districts) to use a pre-hire agreement with labor unions for public construction projects costing $3 million or more. Currently, such agreements are only required for projects of $5 million or more, lowering the threshold under this bill. The agreement, negotiated in good faith by the public entity or construction manager, must cover terms for the specific project and promote stability, quality, safety, and timely completion. The state labor commissioner can assist in negotiations and review agreements to ensure compliance with the law.
