## Summary

**Preserve open competition and Federal neutrality in contractor labor relations** on Federal and federally funded construction projects. The bill would stop agencies and construction managers from favoring or forcing bidders based on whether they sign labor‑organization agreements and would extend that rule to grant recipients and cooperative agreement partners. - Federal contractors and subcontractors would not be required or blocked from entering into agreements with labor organizations. Contractors and subcontractors could still voluntarily sign such agreements. - Executive agencies, grant recipients, and parties to cooperative agreements would have to ensure bid specifications and controlling documents do not require or prohibit labor‑organization agreements. The Federal Acquisition Regulation would be revised within 60 days after enactment to implement the change. - Small and disadvantaged businesses would aim to see expanded access to projects and the bill seeks to reduce construction costs for the Federal Government and taxpayers. - The bill would allow narrow exemptions for imminent threats to public health, safety, or national security and for projects that already had labor‑organization provisions in place as of enactment. It would bar exemptions based on labor disputes involving nonsignatories or employees who are not union members.
