stringent requirement shall apply.
15

(a-5) The Department of Labor may reduce or waive the

a reduction or waiver only upon a determination that the
22
recipient, contractor, or subcontractor has demonstrated that
23
insufficient apprentices to meet requirements set forth in
24
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) are
25
available. In order to make the demonstration, the recipient,
26
contractor, or subcontractor shall submit with its request to

the Department of Labor documentation showing:

(1) the recipient, contractor, or subcontractor made a
3

written request, including the proposed dates of

location of work to be performed, the number of qualified
6

apprentices needed, the number of labor hours expected to
7

be performed by the qualified apprentices, and the name
8

and contact information of the recipient, contractor, or
9

subcontractor requesting employment of qualified
10

apprentices, to at least one apprenticeship program that
11

has a geographic area of operation that includes the
12

location of the work, that trains apprentices in the
13

occupations needed to perform the work, and that has a
14

usual and customary business practice of agreements with
15

employers, including through a sponsoring labor
16

organization, for the placement of apprentices in the
17

occupation for which they are training, consistent with
18

the standards and requirements set forth in 29 CFR 29 and
19

29 CFR 30 and any subsequent guidance issued by the United
20

States Department of Labor; and

21

(2) the written request was denied or the
22

apprenticeship program failed to respond within 7 business
23

days after the written request.
24

A waiver shall not be granted under this subsection
25
because the recipient, contractor, or subcontractor has not or
26
will not execute an agreement with a labor organization

HB4939

necessary for an apprenticeship program to place an
2
apprentice. The Department of Labor may, in its determination,
3
require a recipient, contractor, or subcontractor to make
4
written requests to more than one apprenticeship program if
5
the Department of Labor has information that other
6
apprenticeship programs within the applicable geographic area
7
are generally able to provide apprentices consistent with this
8
Section.
9

The Department of Labor shall maintain a list of
10
apprenticeship programs, accessible to the public, that have
11
indicated to the Department of Labor that they are generally
12
able to provide apprentices. Any apprenticeship program may
13
request to be added to this list, with information on the
14
classifications of employees it trains, its geographic area,
15
and a contact person, including address, telephone number, and
16
e-mail.

17

(b) Before or during the term of a contract subject to this
18
Section, the Department
of Labor
may reduce or waive the goals
19
set forth in paragraph (2) of subsection (a). Prior to the
20
Department
of Labor
granting a request for a reduction or
21
waiver, the Department
of Labor
shall determine, in its
22
discretion, whether to hold a public hearing on the request.
23
In determining whether to hold a public hearing, the
24
Department
of Labor
may consider factors, including the scale
25
of the project and whether the
recipient,
contractor
,
or
26
subcontractor seeking the reduction or waiver has previously

HB4939
- 11 -
LRB104 19473 SPS 32921 b
1
requested reductions or waivers on other projects. The
2
Department
of Labor
may also consult with the Business
3
Enterprise Council under the Business Enterprise for
4
Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and the
5
Chief Procurement Officer
or person of similar responsibility

6
of the agency administering the public works
or State-assisted
7
project
contract. The Department
of Labor
may grant a
8
reduction or waiver
of the goals set forth in subparagraph (B)
9
of paragraph (2) of subsection (a)
upon a determination that:
10

(1) the
recipient,
contractor
,
or subcontractor has
11

demonstrated that insufficient apprentices are available
12

in accordance with paragraph (1) of subsection (b)
;
13

(2) the reasonable and necessary requirements of the
14

contract do not allow the goal to be met;
15

(3) there is a disproportionately high ratio of
16

material costs to labor hours that makes meeting the goal
17

infeasible;
18

(4) apprentice labor hour goals conflict with existing
19

requirements, including federal requirements, in
20

connection with the public work; or
21

(5) the
recipient,
contractor
,
or subcontractor has
22

demonstrated that insufficient graduates of the Illinois
23

Works Preapprenticeship Program are available to meet the
24

goals

requirements
of
subparagraph (B) of
paragraph (2) of
25

subsection (a).
26

A reduction or waiver of an apprenticeship goal does not

HB4939
- 12 -
LRB104 19473 SPS 32921 b
1
act as a reduction or waiver of an apprenticeship requirement
2
set forth in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subsection
3
(a).
4

(c)
Recipients, contractors,

Contractors
and
5
subcontractors must submit a certification to the Department
6
and the agency that is administering the contract, or the
7
grant
, loan, incentive, or tax credit, rebate, or subsidy

8
agreement funding the contract, demonstrating that the
9
recipient,
contractor
,
or subcontractor has:
10

(1) met the apprentice labor hour
requirements and

11

goals set forth in paragraph (2) of subsection (a);
12

(2) received a reduction or waiver pursuant to
13

subsection (b); or
14

(3) not complied with the labor hour
requirements and

15

goals
set forth
in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) and did
16

not receive a reduction or waiver pursuant to subsection
17

(b).
18

It shall be deemed to be a material breach of the contract,
19
or the grant agreement funding the contract, and entitle the
20
State to declare a default, terminate the contract or grant
21
agreement funding it, and exercise those remedies provided for
22
in the contract, at law, or in equity if the
recipient,

23
contractor
,
or subcontractor fails to submit the certification
24
required in this subsection or submits false or misleading
25
information.
26

Intentional failure to comply with the Illinois Works

LRB104 19473 SPS 32921 b
1
Apprenticeship Initiative
, including, but not limited to, the
2
apprenticeship requirements and goals set forth in paragraph
3
(2) of subsection (a),
may result in the State agency that
4
contracted or funded the public works
or State-assisted

5
project: (i) terminating the contract or agreement involved,
6
(ii) prohibiting the party that contracted with the State from
7
participating in public contracts or agreements for a period
8
not to exceed
5

3
years, (iii) seeking a penalty of up to 25%
9
of the contract or agreement as a result of the violation, or
10
(iv) any combination of items (i) through (iii). State
11
agencies shall report to the Department all projects that did
12
not comply with the Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative
13
and any action taken against the noncompliant party and shall
14
provide an action plan to address the reported instance of
15
noncompliance with the Illinois Works Apprenticeship
16
Initiative.
17

(c-5) The Department of Labor may accept complaints and
18
investigate any claim of a violation of the apprenticeship
19
requirements and goals set forth in paragraph (2) of
20
subsection (a), consistent with the power and procedures set
21
forth in the Prevailing Wage Act. If the Department of Labor
22
determines that a violation has occurred, in addition to any
23
other action or remedies available under this Act, the
24
Prevailing Wage Act, and any other law, the Department of
25
Labor shall notify the Department and the Comptroller of the
26
violation and, until the matter is resolved to the

HB4939
- 14 -
LRB104 19473 SPS 32921 b
1
satisfaction of the Department of Labor, the Comptroller shall
2
withhold any and all payments associated with the public works
3
or State-assisted project. Any withholding made in accordance
4
with this Section is not subject to any penalty for late
5
payment under the State Prompt Payment Act.

(d) No later than one year after the effective date of this
7
Act, and by April 1 of every calendar year thereafter, the
8
Department of Labor shall submit a report to the Illinois

State-assisted
projects. To the extent it is available, the
12
report shall include the following information:
13

14

and the percentage of labor hours actually worked by
15

apprentices on each public works
