This proposal would cancel a 2023 Department of Labor rule called “Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulation.” If passed, that rule would have no force or effect. In short, it stops the Labor Department’s update from applying going forward.

Key points:

• What changes: The 2023 Davis-Bacon regulation update from the Department of Labor would be blocked and not apply.
• Who is affected: People and businesses that follow the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts regulation would keep operating without the 2023 update.
• When: It targets the final rule published August 23, 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 57526).
