It transfers some authority from the Government Accountability Office to the United States Department of Labor in order to streamline the implementation and enforcement of federal contractor wage laws.[1] Previously, the United States Department of Labor was responsible for implementing the Davis–Bacon Act, "which requires that federally-contracted workers be paid the 'local prevailing wage' on government projects, and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), which mandates that federal contractors pay their employees overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 per week."[1] Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office was responsible for dealing with the claims of workers who did not make the correct wage.[1] This law was designed to improve efficiency by transferring that responsibility to the Department of Labor.
