An Act amending the act of February 9, 1999 (P.L.1, No.1), known as the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act, in capital facilities, further providing for administration of redevelopment assistance capital projects.

HB 1896 modifies bidding rules for Pennsylvania redevelopment projects funded through capital facilities programs. It requires at least three written bids for all projects under $25,000, while projects exceeding $25,000 must ensure workers earn the state's prevailing wage (per the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act) and comply with steel procurement rules. The bill clarifies that all work on a single project site - whether through separate contracts or phases - is fully subject to prevailing wage requirements. This directly affects local governments and contractors managing redevelopment capital projects funded under the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act.
