AN ACT
To repeal sections 290.220 and 290.230, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to prevailing wages.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Sections 290.220 and 290.230, RSMo, are repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 290.220 and 290.230 to read as follows:
290.220. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the state of Missouri that a wage of no less than the prevailing hourly rate of wages for work of a similar character in the [locality] county in which the work is performed shall be paid to all workmen employed by or on behalf of any public body engaged in public works exclusive of [maintenance work] construction and maintenance of public buildings, public roads and highways, and public bridges.
290.230. 1. Not less than the prevailing hourly rate of wages for work of a similar character in the [locality] county 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] construction and maintenance of public buildings, public roads and highways, and public bridges. 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. 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.
