House Creates Taskforce To Repeal Davis-Bacon

New Taskforce to Push for Repeal of Davis Bacon Act

The Republican Study Committee, has created a Repeal Taskforce that will “work to eliminate U.S. federal laws that inhibit, restrict, or are otherwise harmful to the American public.  The taskforce will focus on laws that are unconstitutional, anti-free-enterprise, or otherwise counter to economic, national security, or social conservatism.”  The taskforce will be lead by Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.). 

The first target of the taskforce will be the Davis-Bacon Act, which has been shown to increase costs on federal construction projects by an average of 15%.  Davis-Bacon is being targeted "because it makes federally funded or assisted construction projects more expensive for the American taxpayer."  Members of the Repeal Task force will work to: introduce repeal bill either in committee or on the House floor, actively support repeal legislation on and off-the Hill, and promote the bill on their website, the House floor and in the media.
