Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

The bill authorizes, but would not require, school districts located
primarily in a county within 50 miles of an international border to
require that contractors and subcontractors building public works for
said districts pay their employees a "living wage."  Only those
districts choosing to do so might experience greater construction costs
as a result.
