OR SB436

Constructing a nonprofit child care facility within an affordable housing project does not trigger prevailing wage requirements for the overall housing project, provided the facility operates as a not-for-profit enterprise

The child care facility must serve an average of 75 percent of children who reside in the project and are eligible for government-subsidized child care or early learning throughout the calendar year

Project owners must annually provide evidence of the child care facility's compliance to the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries

Prevailing wage requirements (ORS 279C.800 to 279C.870) still apply to the labor costs for constructing the child care facility itself

Amendments become operative January 1, 2026, and apply to contracts entered into on or after that date; the act takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment of the 2025 legislative session
