HB 1481 -- Prevailing Wage Sponsor: Bean Currently, workers employed on a public works project, except for maintenance workers, are to be paid a wage of no less than the prevailing hourly rate paid for similar work in the locality in which the work is to be performed. This bill exempts work done on a school from the prevailing hourly wage rate requirement if the school board approves the exemption.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
