Synopsis As Introduced
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.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
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.

Adds reference to:
820 ILCS 130/2from Ch. 48, par. 39s-2
820 ILCS 130/3from Ch. 48, par. 39s-3

Deletes everything after the enacting clause, re-inserts similar provisions, and makes the following additions. Amends the Prevailing Wage Act. Defines "aggregate materials". Provides that: laborers, workers, and mechanics directly employed by contractors or subcontractors in actual construction work on the site of a building or construction job are deemed to be employed upon public works; the site of a building or construction job includes a facility dedicated to the performance of the contract or project and located in such close proximity to the actual construction location that it would be reasonable to include it; laborers, workers, and mechanics engaged in the transportation of aggregate and excavated materials and equipment operated to haul to or from the site are deemed to be employed upon public works; to determine the prevailing wage rate for a laborer, worker, or mechanic engaged in the transportation of aggregate or excavated materials or the operation of equipment to haul aggregate or excavated materials to or from the site of a building or construction job, the Department of Labor shall take into consideration the applicable prevailing wage rate and the Illinois Department of Transportation's current method of establishing equipment rates; and the transportation by the sellers and suppliers or the manufacture or processing of non-aggregate materials or equipment in the execution of any contract or contracts for public works with any public body is not deemed to be employment upon public works. Removes the immediate effective date.

 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 judicial branch.

 Pension Note, House Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee 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.
