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.

SB 996 amends Pennsylvania's Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act to change bidding rules for redevelopment projects. It requires at least three written bids for all construction work under $25,000, while projects over $25,000 must pay workers the state's prevailing minimum wage and comply with the Steel Products Procurement Act. The bill also clarifies that all redevelopment projects - regardless of contract structure - are treated as "public works" under Pennsylvania's prevailing wage law. This applies to local governments and developers managing capital projects funded through redevelopment assistance programs. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
