Davis-Bacon Repeal Act
This bill repeals the Davis-Bacon Act's requirement that federal construction contractors pay prevailing wages to workers on federally funded projects. It directly affects federal construction contractors by eliminating the legal obligation to pay local prevailing wage rates for such work. The key mechanism is the complete removal of the wage requirement from federal law (specifically, 40 U.S.C. Chapter 31, Subchapter IV), effective 30 days after enactment. This repeal does not apply to contracts already in existence or bids issued 30 days before enactment, protecting ongoing projects.
