(JONES,E) New Act Creates the Structural Work Act of 1999. Requires that scaffolds and related mechanical contrivances used in work on a building or other structure be constructed in a safe and suitable manner. Sets forth safety standards. Authorizes the Director of Labor and local authorities to inspect scaffolding and to require reconstruction of unsafe scaffolding. Provides that a violation of the Act is a Class A misdemeanor, and authorizes the State's Attorney or another attorney to take necessary steps to enforce compliance with the Act. Provides for a right of action if a person is injured or killed as a result of a wilful violation of the Act. Uses the language of the Structural Work Act before its repeal by P.A. 89-2. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Labor) This is a civil remedy, therefore it would have no impact. CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Dept. of Corrections) There will be no fiscal or prison population impact. JUDICIAL NOTE (Administrative Office of Ill. Courts) It has been determined that there may be an increase in judi- cial workloads. The bill would not increase the need for the number of judges in the State. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) Creates a service mandate for which 50% to 100% of increased costs to local gov't. is required; an estimate of the cost is not available at this time. HOME RULE NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) Does not preempt home rule authority. 99-01-14 H FIRST READING 99-01-14 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 99-01-27 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUD-CIVIL LAW 99-01-28 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR BROSNAHAN 99-01-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR HOFFMAN 99-02-04 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR MCKEON 99-02-08 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 99-02-08 H COMMITTEE JUD-CIVIL LAW 99-02-25 H DO PASS/STANDARD DEBATE 006-005-000 HJUA 99-02-25 H PLACED CAL 2ND READING-STANDARD DEBATE 99-02-25 H JOINT-SPONSOR CHANGED TO MCCARTHY 99-02-25 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR MCGUIRE 99-03-02 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 99-03-02 H CORRECTIONAL NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 99-03-02 H HOME RULE NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 99-03-02 H JUDICIAL NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 99-03-02 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 99-03-03 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BOLAND 99-03-04 H CORRECTIONAL NOTE FILED 99-03-04 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 99-03-04 H JOINT-SPONSOR CHANGED TO STROGER 99-03-04 H JOINT-SPONSOR CHANGED TO DAVIS,MONIQUE 99-03-04 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR MCCARTHY 99-03-04 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR O'BRIEN 99-03-09 H JUDICIAL NOTE FILED 99-03-09 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 99-03-09 H HOME RULE NOTE FILED 99-03-09 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 99-03-10 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FLOWERS 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SHARP 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SILVA 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR DELGADO 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR LANG 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR MURPHY 99-03-11 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR HAMOS 99-03-12 H SECOND READING-STANDARD DEBATE 99-03-12 H HELD CAL ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 99-03-16 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-STNDRD DEBATE 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR GIGLIO 99-03-18 H VERIFIED 99-03-18 H THIRD READING/STANDARD DEBATE/PASS 061-053-002 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR JONES,LOU 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BRADLEY 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR CROTTY 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR LYONS,JOSEPH 99-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BUGIELSKI 99-03-19 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 99-03-19 S CHIEF SPONSOR JONES,E 99-03-19 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 99-03-22 99-03-19 S FIRST READING 99-03-19 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 01-01-09 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
