Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Prevailing Wage Act. Provides that an employee may not use, possess, attempt to possess, distribute, deliver, or be under the influence of cannabis or a controlled substance, or use or be under the influence of alcohol, while performing work on a project covered by the Act. Requires an employer to have a substance abuse prevention program in place with specified elements. Provides for discipline of employees upon reasonable suspicion that the employee is in the possession of or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Contains provisions regarding: drug and alcohol testing; presence of employees on job sites; employees commencing or returning to work under specified circumstances; rehabilitation programs; applicability; and other matters.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
820 ILCS 130/5.5 new
Adds reference to:
New Act

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Substance Abuse Prevention on Public Works Projects Act, containing provisions similar to those in the introduced bill. Effective January 1, 2008.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
Changes the definition of "accident" to exclude incidents that could have resulted in death, personal injury, or property damage. Deletes language providing that no employee may attempt to possess a drug while performing work on a public works project. Deletes language providing that an employee whose supervisor has reasonable suspicion to believe the employee is in the possession of alcohol or a drug is subject to discipline. Changes the definition of "reasonable suspicion". In language making an employer responsible for the costs of its substance abuse prevention program, creates an exception when the costs are covered under a collective bargaining agreement.
