What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Preference Act," seeks to amend titles 41 and 10 of the United States Code. The primary goal is to prohibit federal agencies from requiring or giving preference to contractors based on the use of union labor. Specifically, it would prevent executive agency heads from favoring offerors who use workers subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, it would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from making similar requirements or preferences for defense contracts.
