HOUSE BILL NO. 422 AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE (Proposed by the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns on January 31, 2014) (Patron Prior to Substitute--Delegate Davis) A BILL to prohibit certain local government practices that would require contractors to provide compensation or benefits beyond those required under state or federal law.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. That no local governing body shall establish provisions related to the procurement of tangible products, or the construction or maintenance of city buildings and infrastructure, that would require a wage floor or any other employee benefit or compensation, above what is otherwise required by state or federal law, to be provided by a contractor to one or more of the contractor's employees as part of a contract with the locality. As used in this act, "maintenance" means the physical upkeep of city infrastructure and facilities and does not include landscaping or janitorial services.

The provisions of this act shall not impact service contracts between a locality and another party that were executed prior to January 31, 2014, or the renewal or future rebids of services thereof.

The provisions of this act shall not prohibit a locality from entering into contracts for economic development incentives in which the company receiving the incentives is required to maintain a certain stated wage level for its employees.
