Short description: 
SECOND LOWEST BIDDER PROT ACT                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Second Lowest Bidders' Protection Act. Provides  that      
   the second lowest bidder on a public works project and any person that      
   entered  into  a  contract  with  the second lowest bidder who suffers      
   damages as a result of the rejection of a bid  for  the  public  works      
   project  because the successful bidder violated certain labor Acts may      
   bring an action for damages against the violator, subject to specified      
   restrictions.                                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Labor)                                    
          Due to the increase in workload, the Department would need           
          $105,100 for costs associated with 2 additional staff.               
          STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs)        
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 852 does not create a State mandate       
          under the State Mandates Act.                                        
          HOME RULE NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs)             
          HB 852 pertains to lawsuits arising from bids on public works        
          projects, and contains a provision prohibiting lawsuits relat-       
          ing to the Second Lowest Bidders' Protection Act being brought       
          against units of local government. The legislation does not          
          contain language indicating a pre-emption of home rule powers        
          and functions. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, HB 852 does        
          not pre-empt home rule authority.
