Read FactVote summary
The bill would require covered federal-contract workers to receive scheduled minimum hourly wages beginning at $17 and reaching $25, with a separate tipped-worker schedule, followed by inflation adjustments. It would make Davis-Bacon and certain procurement-contract wages the higher of the applicable prevailing wage or the bill’s wage rate, while applying the bill’s section 2(a) or tipped-worker section 2(c) rate to Service Contract Act contracts. It would also provide enforcement mechanisms and exempt specified Tribal agreements.
