ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations assume if none of the applicable counties would vote to exempt from the Prevailing Wage Law, then there would be no cost nor savings to the General Revenue Fund for the Division of Labor Standards.

Officials stated they had no way to estimate the number of counties that might exempt themselves if this legislation were to pass.
Oversight will show fiscal impact to DOL as $0 to Unknown.
Oversight assumes the proposed legislation could allow local governments to reduce labor costs for capital projects. Oversight will show savings to certain local governments as a positive unknown.
