      "title": "Prevailing Wage Requirements and the Emergency Suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act",
      "summary": "On September 8, 2005, President Bush issued a Proclamation suspending the application of the\nDavis-Bacon Act to all contracts to be performed in specified jurisdictions in Alabama, Florida,\nLouisiana, and Mississippi included in the Hurricane Katrina disaster area. The Proclamation\npermitted the payment of less than the locally prevailing wage on contracts entered into after\nSeptember 8, 2005 for the construction or repair of public buildings and public works in the affected\narea. Although concern over the validity and effect of the Proclamation arose soon after its issuance,\nthat concern seemed to disappear once the President revoked the Proclamation on November 3,\n2005. This report provides background on the Davis-Bacon Act and discusses the\nPresident\u2019s\nSeptember 8, 2005 Proclamation and its revocation on November 3, 2005.",
