Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Prohibits any person or business that violates the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, the Minimum Wage Law, the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Employee Classification Act, the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, or any comparable state statute or regulation of any state which governs the payment of wages to do business with the State or any State agency or enter into a subcontract that is subject to the Code for a period of 5 years. Amends the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. Provides that an employer that is able to pay wages and who refuses to pay is guilty of a Class 4 felony with respect to amounts of $5,000 or less (rather than a Class B misdemeanor) and of a Class 3 felony with respect to amounts greater than $5,000 (rather than a Class A misdemeanor). Provides that a subsequent failure to pay within 5 years (rather than 2 years) of a prior conviction is a Class 3 felony (rather than a Class 4 felony).

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a person or business that is subject to an adverse civil judgment related to violations of certain laws concerning wage payments may not do business with the State for a period of 5 years. Revises proposed changes in penalties for failure to pay wages, final compensation, or wage supplements. For unpaid amounts of $5,000 or less increases the penalty to a Class A misdemeanor (rather than increasing the penalty to a Class 4 felony). For unpaid amounts of more than $5,000 increases the penalty to a Class 4 felony (rather than increasing the penalty to a Class 3 felony).

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a bidder must acknowledge that a chief procurement officer at a State agency (rather than a State agency) may declare a contract void if certain certifications made by the bidder are false.

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

 State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 This bill does not create a State mandate.

 Pension Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 This bill will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 This bill 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.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
 The Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to this bill as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.

 Correctional Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections)
 This bill has no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Central Management Services)
 The fiscal impact to the Department of Central Management Services is negligible.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority)
 This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

 Home Rule Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 This bill does not pre-empt home rule authority.
