AI Summary
This bill amends the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act to modify regulations for day and temporary labor service agencies in Illinois. The key provisions include removing the previous requirement for agencies to provide substantially similar benefits to laborers who work more than 720 hours at the same client, expanding safety training notification requirements, and refining definitions of labor service agencies. The bill specifically excludes certain types of specialized labor and staffing agencies from the definition of day and temporary labor service agencies. Before assigning an employee to a worksite, agencies must now notify laborers about any safety and health training responsibilities of either the agency or the client, including training required by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. The bill also reduces potential civil penalties for violations, with maximum penalties decreasing from $18,000 to $6,000 for first-time violations. Most importantly, these changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2027, giving businesses and agencies time to prepare for the new regulations. The bill aims to provide more clarity and flexibility for day and temporary labor service agencies while maintaining worker protections.
