HB 34 - This act modifies prevailing wage laws. This act redefines construction to exclude improvement, alteration, and major repair and includes decorating that is done as part of construction, reconstruction, enlargement or painting. Maintenance is also defined to include repairs that restore existing facilities to a previous state or condition or improve the utility or enhance the appearance of existing facilities and exclude major repairs. Major repairs is defined as work that exceeds the replacement cost of existing facilities. All counties except for counties with a charter form of government may be exempt from prevailing wage laws for school construction upon a majority vote of the school board. Independent contractors performing such construction are required to show proof of workers' compensation coverage at the request of the school district. CHRIS HOGERTY
