STBTC/SB 59: The Senate, Tax, Business and Transportation Committee Substitute for SB 59 defines "site of the project," which includes off-site fabrication.

The definition of "off-site fabrication" is replaced with this definition:

"site of the project" means the physical location of a public works project as well as any off-site fabrication locations that engage in the fabrication of heating, cooling, ventilation or exhaust duct systems that are part of the public works project.

The previous section on prevailing wage and benefit rates, minimum wages and fringe benefits is deleted.
