Abstract

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 82 to define "city," "project labor agreement," and "public construction project"; permit a city to establish a mandatory preference for awarding public construction project contracts to unions through a negotiated project labor agreement; permit cities to negotiate wages that are higher than the state or federal minimum wage as a condition of the project labor agreement; repeal KRS 65.016, which prohibits local governments from requiring an employer to pay a certain wage or fringe benefit other than as determined by the employer.
