1    AN ACT concerning regulation.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Day and Temporary Labor Services Act is
5amended by changing Sections 2, 5, 30, 45, 50, 55, 70, and 85
6and by adding Sections 11, 42, and 67 as follows:
 
7    (820 ILCS 175/2)
8    Sec. 2. Legislative Findings. The General Assembly finds
9as follows:
10    Since the passage of this Act, the number of Over 300,000
11workers who work as day or temporary laborers in Illinois has
12risen from approximately 300,000 to more than 650,000
13according to data collected by the Department of Labor.
14    Since the passage of this Act, the number of Approximately
15150 day labor and temporary labor service agencies registered
16in Illinois has risen from approximately 150 with 600 branch
17offices to over 300 with over 800 branch offices with nearly
18600 branch offices are licensed throughout Illinois. In
19addition, there still exists is a significant large, though
20unknown, number of unregistered unlicensed day labor and
21temporary labor service agencies that operate outside the
22radar of law enforcement.
23    Recent studies and a survey of low-wage day or temporary

 

 

HB2862 Enrolled- 2 -LRB103 03414 AMQ 48420 b

1laborers themselves have consistently found finds that as a
2group, they are particularly vulnerable to abuse of their
3labor rights, including unpaid wages, failure to pay for all
4hours worked, minimum wage and overtime violations, and
5unlawful deductions deduction from pay for meals,
6transportation, equipment, and other items.
7    Current law is inadequate to protect the labor and
8employment rights of these workers.
9    At the same time, in Illinois and in other states,
10democratically run nonprofit day labor centers, which charge
11no fee for their services, have been established to provide an
12alternative for day or temporary laborers to solicit work on
13street corners. These centers are not subject to this Act.
