This bill would repeal Subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code. That subchapter contains the Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements for certain federal construction contracts. The bill also makes any reference in any law to a requirement under that subchapter null and void. The repeal would take effect 30 days after the date of enactment, but it would not affect any contract that exists on that 30th day or any contract made from an invitation for bids that was outstanding on that day. The bill was introduced on April 30, 2026, by Rep. Eric Burlison and Rep. Barry Moore and was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
If enacted, the legal wage requirements found in the Davis-Bacon portion of federal law would be removed for covered contracts starting 30 days after enactment. Contracts already in place on that date, and contracts awarded from bids outstanding on that date, would not be affected.
