Ch. 48

which provides that the word "county" includes
Baltimore City, and § ll-101(g) of this article, which
provides that "county" means "unless expressly
provided otherwise, Baltimore City".

In paragraph (2) of this subsection, the specific
reference to "counties" is substituted for the former
general reference to "subdivisions", for clarity.

Defined terms: "County"
"Public work" § 17-201

§ 11-101

(H) PREVAILING WAGE RATE.

"PREVAILING WAGE RATE" MEANS THE HOURLY RATE OF WAGES PAID
IN THE LOCALITY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSIONER UNDER § 17-208
OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of
former SF § 12-301(e)(1), as that sentence referred to
the definition for the term "prevailing wage rate".

The former variations of the defined term are deleted
since "prevailing wage rate" is used consistently
throughout this subtitle. Those former references
were: "[p]revailing hourly rate of wages", "prevailing
hourly wage rate", "prevailing rate of wages",
"prevailing hourly wage", "prevailing wage", "rate of
wages", and "wage rates".

Defined terms: "Commissioner"
