New Davis-Bacon Rule Temporarily Blocked
|
|
|
A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked the U.S. Department of Labor’s new Davis-Bacon rule. The AGC of America, of which CAWP is a chapter, filed a lawsuit back in November challenging the new rules, which expanded coverage for truck drivers and narrowly tailored the definition of a material supplier. In his ruling, the judge from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Lubbock stated that the new regulations caused uncertainty to the competitive bidding and contracting process.
The AGC sees the decision as a significant legal victory in its ongoing efforts to protect members from overreaching federal regulations.
