	Scott Taylor on Jobs

Bar requiring prevailing wage on public works projects

Legislative Summary: HB2395: Prohibits state agencies from requiring contractors to pay prevailing wages in connection with a public works project.

Analysis by Progress Virginia: Requiring employers to pay their employees the prevailing wage guarantees firms will compete for public works contracts on the basis of the skills and acumen they bring to the table. Otherwise, firms would be more likely to compete by trying to pay their labor force as low a wage as they can get away with.

Veto message : This legislation attempts to lower wages and impedes future labor agreements. Virginia's efforts should be focused on increasing wages, rather than placing artificial restrictions on their future earning potential.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 67-32-1 on Feb/10/15; State Delegate Scott Taylor voted YES; Passed Senate 21-18-1 on Feb/24/15; Vetoed by Governor Terry McAuliffe on Mar/27/15.
