Converts prevailing wage educantion, surveys of prevaioing wages, investigation, enforcement and administration to a completely fee-based system means fees will likely be increased in the future to cover program costs. Potentiall decreases oversight on funding of general program funcitons like surveys and education during general budget processes.

BOLI uses the fee to fund it's operation and to fund surveys, education, and investigation and enforcement. This fee provides no benefit to local agencies and reduces the amount of public funds available for capital projects at a time when funding is being decreased.
