CALL TO ACTION
HB 1951 is scheduled for Committee hearing. HB 1951 is the companion bill to SB 925 which will prohibit Project Labor Agreements from being used on publicly funded projects. PLAs contain provisions that provide for safe, good construction jobs, as well as ensuring that projects finish on time and on budget. Saving tax payer money, and keeping workers safe is a win-win. So take 1 minute to tell the committee members to vote NO to HB 1951!
Send an email to the committee.
