Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 1529

Amends the Prevailing Wage Act. Provides that a failure to provide prevailing wage information in certain project specifications, contracts, subcontracts, or notices does not excuse a contractor or subcontractor from paying the prevailing wage. Deletes language providing that 2 or more investigatory hearings on the issue of establishing a new prevailing wage classification for a particular craft or type of worker shall be consolidated in a single hearing before the Department of Labor. Provides that contractors and subcontractors shall make and keep, for not less than 5 (rather than 3) years, records of all laborers, mechanics, and other workers employed by them on a project. Provides that a public body or the Department of Labor, whichever has made a prevailing wage determination, is authorized to hear each timely filed written objection, that 2 or more hearings on the issue of establishing a new prevailing wage classification for a particular craft or type of worker shall be consolidated in a single hearing before the Department, that the consolidation shall occur whether each separate hearing is conducted by a public body or the Department, and that the party requesting a consolidated hearing has the burden of establishing that there is no existing prevailing wage classification for the particular craft or type of worker in any of the localities under consideration. Effective immediately.

Deletes language providing that the failure to provide prevailing wage information in certain project specifications, contracts, subcontracts, or notices does not excuse a contractor or subcontractor from paying the prevailing wage.

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

	Pension Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
	SB 1529 (H-AM 1) will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

	Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Labor)
	The fiscal impact is as follows: Personnel (1 Labor Conciliator) = $65,000; Fringes = $12,500; Travel = $3,000; Commodities = $500; EDP Equipment = $3,000; Telecommunications = $500; Total Fiscal Impact = $84,500.

	State Debt Impact Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
	SB 1529 (H-AM 1) 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.

	State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
	SB 1529 (H-AM 1) does not create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act.

	Home Rule Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
	SB 1529 (H-AM 1) does not pre-empt home rule authority.

	Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority)
	While this proposed legislation appears to expand the job classification that falls under SPWRA, there is insufficient information to determine if there are any significant increased costs compared to current and historical practices.

	Adds reference to:
	820 ILCS 130/2	from Ch. 48, par. 39s-2

	Deletes reference to:
	820 ILCS 130/2
