Gov. Code, § 64720.5
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
(a) Any construction or rehabilitation project receiving funding or financing from the agency, a measure proposed by the agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 64720, or a joint powers authority of which the agency is a member, including, but not limited to, a project with under 40 units, shall constitute a public work for which prevailing wages shall be paid for purposes of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code.
(b) A project with 40 units or greater is eligible to receive funding or financing from the agency, a measure proposed by the agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 64720, or a joint powers authority of which the agency is a member, only if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works PLA. For purposes of this subdivision and subdivision (c), the number of units means the maximum number of units authorized in an entitlement granted by the land use permitting authority for the development project, regardless of whether construction or rehabilitation proceeds in phases or ownership is divided.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), if a specific countywide project labor agreement is negotiated with mutual agreement between the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Southern California Association of Nonprofit Housing and approved by the agency, then a project with 40 units or greater is eligible to receive funding or financing from the agency, a measure proposed by the agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 64720, or a joint powers authority of which the agency is a member, only if all construction and rehabilitation is subject to the specific countywide project labor agreement rather than the Department of Public Works PLA.
(d) For purposes of this section, “project labor agreement” has the same meaning as in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract Code.
(e) For purposes of this section, “Department of Public Works PLA” means the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works Project Labor Agreement 2020-2030 with Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, effective August 25, 2021.
