On Agreeing to the Amendment: Gosar Amendment to H.R. 2810.
Sponsored by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), the amendment would require that Secretary of Labor conduct determinations for the prevailing wage for defense-related construction projects. Currently, the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division uses survey data that is unreliable and inflates the prevailing wage. The amendment would lower the cost of defense-related construction projects, saving taxpayers money.

Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws.
This amendment by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H.R. 2810) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill. The Davis-Bacon Act requires companies to pay construction workers locally prevailing wages on federally funded projects. The amendment failed.
