From the transcript
This is the legislative findings and intent. Um, the new language amends the language outlining the legislature's finding that the project labor agreement, also known as a PLA, and apprenticeship utilization requirements are necessary to advance the project. The work draft removes reference to prevailing wage. This aligns with changes in later in Section 37. This would be Section 36 in version S.A. Our understanding is that this was a component of the binding MOU signed earlier this— or last month and would be a standard component of the PLAs.
