SB 68 - Under current law, prevailing wage in a locality is determined by the Missouri Department of Labor to be the hourly rate for a particular occupational title by means of wage surveys. This act establishes that the prevailing wage for a locality in a third class county shall be the median hourly estimated wage of the construction and extraction occupational code most closely resembling the occupational title as published in the Metropolitan and Non-Metropolitan Area Occupational Employment Wage Estimate published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, or the median hourly wage estimate for occupational code 47-0000 in the construction and extraction occupational code if the former cannot be determined. This act is similar to SCS/SB 439 (2012).
