Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocates $1.2 trillion in investments for various transportation, water, power and energy, environmental remediation, cybersecurity, and broadband initiatives. The increased funding will likely result in more companies being classified as government contractors, implicating increased compliance issues, as well as wage and hour considerations at the state and federal levels.
