 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Labor)
 The Department currently employs 6 wage claim specialists and 2 clerical staff to process and administer wage claims under the Wage Payment and Collection Act. This legislation would require, the Department to add at least 4 full time staff members to process, answer phone calls and emails, and investigate additional claims. Also, at least one additional attorney position to review the additional claims for legal sufficiency and to ensure that the proper responsible parties are named. In addition, two administrative law judges would also be needed to handle the increase in the number of administrative hearings as a result of the additional claims. There are other administrative costs, including postage, office supplies and new employee IT equipment and licensing. Fiscal Impact = $843,000 (7 Headcount = $785,000; Administrative Costs = $58,000).

 Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
 The Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to this bill as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations.

 This legislation will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

 Judicial Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 This legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 This legislation would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Correctional Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections)
 This legislation has no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.
