Short description: 
PREVAILING WAGE ACT-WAGE CLAIM                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Prevailing Wage  Act  in  relation  to  contracts  for      
   public  works    projects.  In provisions giving a laborer, worker, or      
   mechanic employed by a  contractor or subcontractor who is  paid  less      
   than  the  rate  for  work done under a contract the right to bring an      
   action for the difference between the amount paid and the rate in  the      
   contract,  states that the action shall be brought  against his or her      
   employer.  In provisions authorizing the Department of  Labor to  take      
   an  assignment  of  a  wage  claim  in trust for a laborer, worker, or      
   mechanic  and take legal action to collect the claim, states that  the      
   legal  action  shall  be    taken against the employer of the laborer,      
   worker, or mechanic. Makes other  changes.                                  
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Deletes everything. Amends the Prevailing Wage Act. Provides           
   that each subcontractor on a public works project must provide the          
   general contractor with a surety bond in an amount sufficient to pay        
   the wages and fringe benefits of the laborers, workers, and mechanics       
   employed by the subcontractor.                                              
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Labor)                                    
          There would be no fiscal impact on the Department of Labor.          
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          820 ILCS 130/11                                                      
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          820 ILCS 130/9                  from Ch. 48, par. 39s-9              
        Deletes everything.  Amends the Prevailing Wage  Act.    Requires      
   contractors  and  subcontractors  covered  by  the  Act  to  post  the      
   prevailing  wage  rates  at  a  location  that is easily accessible to      
   employees engaged on the project, and provides that failure to  do  so      
   is a violation of the Act.
