To ensure project labor agreements are permitted in certain circumstances.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS.

(b) IMPOSITION OF REQUIREMENT- The contractor or recipient of Federal assistance may choose to include such a requirement under subsection (a)--

(1) if the contractor or recipient has determined that a project labor agreement will advance its procurement interest in cost, efficiency, quality, and the promotion of labor-management stability; and

(2) if no laws applicable to the specific construction project preclude the use of the proposed project labor agreement.

SEC. 2. APPLICATION.

Any project labor agreement reached pursuant to this Act--

(1) shall bind all contractors and subcontractors on the construction project through the inclusion of appropriate clauses in all relevant solicitation provisions and contract documents,

(2) shall allow all contractors and subcontractors wishing to compete for contracts and subcontracts on the project to do so, without discrimination against contractors, subcontractors, or employees based on union or nonunion status; and

(3) shall comply with all applicable statutes and regulations.

SEC. 3. DEFINITION.

For purposes of this Act, the term `project labor agreement' means a prehire collective bargaining agreement in the construction industry, establishing the basic terms and conditions of employment for the duration of the project, and binding upon all construction employers that operate on the project site.
