AN ACT
To repeal section 290.230, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the prevailing wage.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 290.230, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 290.230, to read as follows:
290.230. 1. Not less than the prevailing hourly rate of wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the work is performed, and not less than the prevailing hourly rate of wages for legal holiday and overtime work, shall be paid to all workmen employed by or on behalf of any public body engaged in the construction of public works, exclusive of maintenance work. Only such workmen as are directly employed by contractors or subcontractors in actual construction work on the site of the building or construction job shall be deemed to be employed upon public works.
2. The prevailing wage requirement under subsection 1 of this section shall be waived in counties declared disaster areas by the federal government. Such waiver shall only apply to repair and replacement construction commenced within one year of when the area was declared a disaster by the federal government.
3. When the hauling of materials or equipment includes some phase of construction other than the mere transportation to the site of the construction, workmen engaged in this dual capacity shall be deemed employed directly on public works.
