AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PREVAILING WAGE.

This Act grants school districts and charter schools the ability to decide if they want to pay prevailing wage for school construction projects. This Act is in response to rising school construction costs. Between Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 school districts and charter schools stated they experienced $260,163,873 in market pressure inflation and asked the State to support a share of that, specifically $175,331,704. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
