1

AN ACT concerning State government.

2

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3
represented in the General Assembly:

4

Section 5.
The Attorney General Act is amended by changing
5
Section 6.3 as follows:

6

(15 ILCS 205/6.3)
7

Sec. 6.3.
Worker Protection Unit.
8

(a) The General Assembly finds that the welfare and
9
prosperity of all Illinois citizens and businesses requires
10
the establishment of a Unit within the Attorney General's
11
Office dedicated to combatting businesses that underpay their
12
employees, force their employees to work in unsafe conditions,
13
and gain an unfair economic advantage by avoiding their tax
14
and labor responsibilities. The Worker Protection Unit shall
15
be focused on protecting the State's workforce to ensure
16
workers are paid properly, guarantee safe workplaces, and
17
allow law-abiding business owners to thrive through healthy
18
and fair competition. Businesses that violate the State's
19
worker protection laws put a greater burden on taxpayers by
20
hurting the State's ability to provide critical services;
21
compliant businesses cannot compete against those who gain an
22
unfair advantage by evading their responsibilities.
23

(b) There is created within the Office of the Attorney

HB4725 Enrolled
- 2 -
LRB104 19322 SPS 32768 b
1
General a Worker Protection Unit, consisting of Assistant
2
Attorneys General appointed by the Attorney General, who,
3
together with other staff as deemed necessary by the Attorney
4
General, shall have the power and duty on behalf of persons
5
within this State, to intervene in, initiate, and enforce all
6
legal proceedings on matters related to the payment of wages,
7
the safety of the workplace, and fair employment practices,
8
including, without limitation, the provisions of the
9
Prevailing Wage Act, the Employee Classification Act, the
10
Minimum Wage Law, the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act,
or

11
the Wage Payment and Collection Act
, and any other law
12
regarding labor or employment in this State
, whenever the
13
Attorney General determines that such action is necessary to
14
protect the rights and interests of Illinois workers and
15
Illinois businesses.
16

(c) Prior to initiating an action, the Attorney General
17
shall conduct an investigation and may: (1) require an
18
individual or entity to file a statement or report in writing
19
under oath or otherwise, as to all information the Attorney
20
General may consider necessary; (2) examine under oath any
21
person alleged to have participated in or with knowledge of
22
the alleged violation;
or
(3) issue subpoenas
for documents;
23
(4) require written answers under oath to written
24
interrogatories; (5)

or
conduct hearings in aid of any
25
investigation
; (6) inspect the premises of an employer and
26
inspect and make copies of employment-related records kept at

the premises during normal business or working hours or at
2
other reasonable times; and (7) conduct interviews with
3
employees at an employer's premises during normal business or
4
working hours or at other reasonable times
.
The Attorney
5
General may, at the Attorney General's discretion, resolve an
6
investigation by mutual agreement prior to or after initiating
7
an action.

8

(c-5) An employer, or an agent of the employer, who is
9
subject to an investigation by the Attorney General shall make
10
all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the investigation,
11
including, without limitation, by making the employer's
12
premises and records available for inspection and by
13
permitting the employer's employees to participate in
14
confidential interviews conducted by the Attorney General. An
15
employer who is subject to an investigation by the Attorney
16
General under this Section has the right to be assisted by
17
counsel. An employer may refuse to grant the Attorney General
18
access to non-publicly accessible areas of the employer's
19
premises unless the Attorney General obtains an administrative
20
inspection warrant for the inspection of the premises under
21
subsection (c-35).
22

(c-10) Any individual, including an employee, who
23
voluntarily participates in an interview conducted by the
24
Attorney General or otherwise provides information to the
25

(c-15) The production of documentary material in response
3
to a subpoena served in accordance with this Section shall be
4
made under a sworn certificate, in such form as the subpoena
5
designates, by the person, if a natural person, to whom the
6
demand is directed or, if not a natural person, by a person or
7
persons having knowledge of the facts and circumstances
8
relating to the production, to the effect that all of the
9
documentary material required by the demand and in the
10
possession, custody, or control of the person to whom the
11
demand is directed has been produced and made available to the
12
custodian. All answers to interrogatories and statements or
13
reports produced in writing shall be accompanied by a
14
statement under oath attesting to the accuracy of the answers.
15

(c-20) Any person who has been served a subpoena issued
16
under this Section may file, in the Circuit Court of Sangamon
17
or Cook County or the circuit court of the county in which the
18
witness resides, is found, or transacts business, a petition
19
for an order to modify or set aside the subpoena. A petition
20
filed with the circuit court under this subsection shall be
21
filed with the court and served on the Attorney General within
22
20 days after the date of service of the subpoena, at any time
23
before the return date specified in the subpoena, or within a
24
longer period as may be prescribed in writing by the Attorney
25
General. The petition shall specify the grounds upon which the

General under this Act fails or refuses to attend a proceeding
3
and provide testimony, produce documentary materials or

or employees of the witness, or otherwise comply with the
6
subpoena, the Attorney General may petition the Circuit Court
7
of Sangamon or Cook County, or the circuit court in the county
8
in which the witness resides, for an order requiring the
9
witness to comply with the subpoena. The court's order shall
10
require the witness to comply with the subpoena by a specified
11
date and provide a date on which the witness shall show cause
12
in court as to why the witness should not be held in contempt
13
of court if the witness fails to comply with the order. The
14
Attorney General may recover reasonable fees and expenses
15
incurred in obtaining the order. If the witness is held in
16
contempt of court, the Attorney General may seek a writ of
17
attachment or an equivalent court order.

served a subpoena by the Attorney General under this Section,
23
knowingly removes from any place, conceals, withholds,
24
destroys, mutilates, alters, or by any other means falsifies
25
any documentary material that is the subject of the subpoena
26
is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

1

(c-35) If, in the course of an investigation conducted in
2
accordance with subsection (c), the Attorney General believes
3
that relevant evidence of a violation of a law enforced by the
4
Worker Protection Unit as set forth in subsection (b) is
5
located at the premises of an employer or in an employer's
6
records and if the employer has refused to allow the Attorney
7
General to inspect the premises or the Attorney General has
8
reasonable cause to believe that an immediate inspection of
9
the premises is necessary to carry out its investigation, then
10
the Attorney General may file or cause to be filed an
11
application for an administrative inspection warrant. The
12
issuance and execution of an administrative inspection warrant
13
shall be as follows:
14

(1) A judge of a circuit court, upon proper oath or
15

affirmation showing an inspection is reasonable, may issue
16

warrants for the purpose of conducting administrative
17

inspections and seizures of property appropriate to the
18

inspections. For the purposes of the issuance of an
19

administrative inspection warrant, an inspection is
20

reasonable if a valid public interest in the effective
21

enforcement of any statute enforced by the Worker
22

Protection Unit sufficiently justifies administrative
23

inspection of the employer's premises or records.
24

(2) An administrative inspection warrant shall be
25

issued only after receipt of an affidavit of a person
26

having knowledge of the facts alleged that establishes the

HB4725 Enrolled
- 7 -
LRB104 19322 SPS 32768 b
1

grounds for issuing the administrative inspection warrant.
2

If the circuit judge is satisfied that there are
3

reasonable grounds for issuance of an administrative
4

inspection warrant, the judge shall issue an
5

administrative inspection warrant. The administrative
6

inspection warrant shall:
7

(A) state the grounds for its issuance and the
8

name of each person whose affidavit has been taken in
9

support of the warrant;
10

(B) be directed to an Assistant Attorney General
11

appointed by the Attorney General or to other staff of
12

the Office of the Attorney General who will execute
13

the warrant;
14

(C) command the person to whom it is directed to
15

inspect the identified premises or records for the
16

purposes specified in the warrant and, if appropriate,
17

direct the seizure of the identified records or other
18

property;
19

(D) identify the item or types of property to be
20

seized, if any; and
21

(E) direct that the warrant may be served at any
22

time of the day or night and designate the circuit
23

court judge to whom it shall be returned.
24

(3) An administrative inspection warrant issued under
25

this subsection must be executed and returned within 10
26

days after the date of its issuance, unless, upon a

HB4725 Enrolled
- 8 -
LRB104 19322 SPS 32768 b
1

showing of a need for additional time, the court that
2

issued the inspection warrant orders otherwise. If
3

property is seized in accordance with an administrative
4

inspection warrant, a copy of the inventory of the seized
5

property shall be given to the person from whom or from
6

whose controlled premises the property is taken. If no
7

person is available, the inspection warrant and a copy of
8

the inventory shall be left at the controlled premises.
9

The inventory shall be made under oath by the person
10

executing the warrant.
11

(4) An administrative inspection warrant shall be
12

returnable before the judge of the circuit court who
13

issued the inspection warrant or any judge named in the
14

inspection warrant or before the circuit court. The judge
15

before whom the return is made shall attach to the
16

administrative inspection warrant a copy of the return and
17

all papers returnable in connection with the warrant and
18

file them with the clerk of the circuit court in which the
19

inspection warrant is executed.
20

(5) No warrant shall be quashed or evidence suppressed
21

because of technical irregularities not affecting the
22

substantial rights of the person responsible for the
23

employer's premises or property.
24

(6) This subsection does not prevent the inspection
25

without a warrant of books and records produced in
26

accordance with a subpoena issued under subsection (c).

HB4725 Enrolled
- 9 -
LRB104 19322 SPS 32768 b

(7) No administrative inspection warrant shall be
2

issued under this subsection with the intent of obtaining
3

evidence for an ongoing criminal investigation.

4

(d) In an action brought under this Section, the Attorney
5
General may obtain, as a remedy, monetary damages to the
6
State, restitution, and equitable relief, including any
7
permanent or preliminary injunction, temporary restraining
8
order, or other order, including an order enjoining the
9
defendant from engaging in a violation, or order any action as
10
may be appropriate. In addition, the Attorney General may
11
request and the court may impose a civil penalty against any
12
person or entity found by the court to have violated
any law
13
regarding labor or employment in this State, including
the
14
Prevailing Wage Act, the Employee Classification Act, the
15
Minimum Wage Law, the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act,
16
the Wage Payment and Collection Act, or any other law related
17
to the payment of wages, the safety of the workplace, or fair
18
employment practices, in a sum not to exceed the maximum
19
amount of any civil penalty prescribed by law. Neither the
20
State nor an aggrieved individual may recover monetary relief,
21
including civil penalties, in more than one proceeding related
22
to the same violation.
23

(e) Upon the Attorney General's request, the Illinois
24
Department of Labor shall provide any materials or documents
25
already in the Department's possession pertaining to the
26
enforcement of this Section. The Office of the Attorney

4

6
with other law enforcement officials. Nothing in this Section
7
is intended to take away or limit any powers of the Attorney
8
General under common law or other statutory law.

11
from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. This
12
exemption applies to all information and documentary materials

the Attorney General obtains through an investigation under
14
this Act.
15

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no
16

18
possession of the Attorney General shall be available for
19

20
employee or agent of the Attorney General or a federal, State,
21
or local law enforcement official without the consent of the
22
person who produced the documentary materials, oral testimony,
23
or answers. The Attorney General may provide copies of the
24
documentary materials, transcripts of oral testimony, or
