DOL’s Davis-Bacon Final Rule: What Construction Contractors Need To Know
August 21, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
ABC Members Only
On Aug. 8, 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced a final rule, Updating the Davis-Bacon Act and Related Acts Regulations. Unfortunately, the new regulation fails to provide any meaningful reforms to prevailing wage regulations. Instead, it increases the regulatory burden placed on the construction industry by undoing prior reforms and expanding Davis-Bacon requirements to cover new industries and activities. In all, the rule implements over 50 significant changes to current regulations.
The final rule is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on Aug. 23, and will take effect 60 days later. This session will discuss key aspects of the newly released final rule and what contractors should know to ensure compliance and share ABC’s next steps in fighting this costly and unfair new rule.
