CA AB1598

Modifies the definition of "installation" under Labor Code Section 1720 to include assembly and disassembly of freestanding and affixed modular office systems for purposes of prevailing wage requirements on public works projects.

Expands the scope of work considered "public works" subject to prevailing wage payment requirements, as willful violations are classified as misdemeanors.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution, as the bill only creates changes to crime definitions and penalties.
