S 3117 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Applies certain public contract bid threshold amounts to pay to play and prevailing wage laws.

This bill coordinates threshold amounts for "pay-to-play" restrictions and prevailing wage requirements with existing public contract bid thresholds used by local governments. It affects counties, municipalities, county colleges, and school boards by setting the same dollar amount for when political contribution restrictions apply and when prevailing wage rates must be paid. For example, the threshold for political contributions during contract award will match the local public contract bid threshold, which can be up to $40,000 for contracting units with a Qualified Purchasing Agent. The bill ensures consistency across related laws without changing the underlying requirements, making it simpler for public entities to comply with these regulations.
