AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC PROPERTY AND WORKS -- STATE PURCHASES

HB 7972 amends the process for creating and governing project labor agreements (PLAs) used on state construction projects. It directly affects state agencies, contractors, and labor unions involved in public works projects requiring PLAs. The bill changes how these agreements are established, managed, and enforced for state-funded construction. This is a procedural change to the existing rules for PLA implementation, not a new policy outcome.
