Summary of Bill HJRES 132

Bill 118 hjres 132, also known as the "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration relating to the Federal Acquisition Regulation: Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects," is a piece of legislation that aims to overturn a rule proposed by the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and NASA regarding the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for federal construction projects.

PLAs are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements that establish the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project. The rule in question would require federal agencies to consider the use of PLAs for construction projects exceeding $25 million in value. Supporters of PLAs argue that they help ensure labor peace and efficiency on large construction projects, while opponents argue that they can limit competition and increase costs.

If passed, Bill 118 hjres 132 would disapprove of the rule submitted by the three federal agencies, effectively preventing it from going into effect. This bill is currently being debated in Congress, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks of the proposed rule. It remains to be seen whether the bill will ultimately pass and what impact it will have on federal construction projects moving forward.
