## Summary

**This bill would repeal the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements for federal construction projects.** It would also void references to those wage rules across other federal laws. - Construction workers: Workers on federal construction projects would no longer be covered by Davis-Bacon wage floors, changing the federal wage baseline for those jobs. - Federal contractors and agencies: Agencies and contractors would not have to include Davis-Bacon wage determinations in new contracts, which changes bidding and payroll compliance for federal projects. - Transition rules: Any contract in effect or any invitation for bids outstanding 30 days after enactment would remain subject to the old Davis-Bacon rules, creating a 30-day transition window.
