The purpose of this measure is to:

Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying that the definition of "overtime compensation" includes the overtime and other premium rates of pay set by a collective bargaining agreement when the prevailing wage is set by a collective bargaining agreement; and
(2) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2114, for the purpose of facilitating further discussion.
