The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

The courts have ruled that prevailing wages for public work should be based on what governmental entity is requiring and contracting for said work. By adding custom fabrication to the prevailing wage law we are extending the protections of section 220 to skilled workers off the job site, ensuring that their wages are fair and equitable. It has become clear over the last several years that some unscrupulous contractors are circumventing the spirit and intent of prevailing wage law. Since prevailing wage also creates fair bidding mechanisms for union and nonunion workers, there should be an increase in the number of talented, skilled workers willing to ply their trade for public contracts in custom fabrication. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL ANDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): The amendments would limit the application of the prevailing wage requirements through the addition of a project-cost threshold and the exclusion of projects receiving federal funds that trigger the federal rules for wage requirements. The amendments would also clarify that the drafting of technical drawings and plans would be considered covered work under the bill, expand the reporting requirements, and alter the effective date language.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
