About this file
This is a Frequently Asked Questions document issued by the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) of the State of Michigan regarding recent prevailing wage law changes effective April 2, 2025. The document addresses requirements for contractors and subcontractors performing construction work for the State of Michigan under Public Act 10 of 2023 and Public Act 110 of 2024. All contractors and subcontractors must register with the Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) Wage and Hour division to obtain a State Project Registration (SPR) before submitting bids on state construction projects. The SPR requirement applies to all projects with bids due on or after April 2, 2025, but does not apply to projects already bid or under contract before that effective date. Contractors failing to provide the required SPR with their bids will have their bids deemed non-responsive and ineligible for contract award.
The annual SPR fee is currently $500, paid directly to LEO Wage and Hour through their website. While contractors must provide their own SPR at bid submission, SPRs for subcontractors must be available upon request and may be submitted after bid award, though failure to provide them may result in contract termination. Contractors must immediately notify the project owner of any changes to registration status for themselves or subcontractors and ensure all subcontractors maintain valid SPRs throughout project performance. Certified payroll submissions for all contractors and subcontractors must be submitted directly to LEO Wage and Hour and not to DTMB. Questions regarding appropriate wage rates and registration assistance should be directed to LEO Wage and Hour.
