AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2140
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2140, AS AMENDED,
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
following:
"Section 5. If and only if Senate Bill 1407 of the 101st
General Assembly becomes law in the form in which it passed the
Senate, then the Illinois Hazardous Materials Workforce
Training Act is amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
(101st G.A., SB1407 Engrossed, Sec. 10)
Section 10. Advanced safety training.
(a) The Department shall develop by rule a curriculum of
approved advanced safety training for workers at high hazard
facilities. That training shall be available through the
Department or instruction may be provided by a community
college or United States Department of Labor apprenticeship
program. The Department shall approve a curriculum in

10100SB2140ham004 - 2 - LRB101 09757 CPF 69969 a
accordance with this subsection (a) by January 1, 2021, and
shall periodically revise the curriculum to reflect current
best practices. Upon receipt of certification from the
apprenticeship program or community college, the Department
shall issue a certificate to a worker who completes the
approved training.
(b) An owner or operator, when contracting for the
performance of construction work at the stationary source,
shall require that its contractors and any subcontractors use a
skilled and trained workforce to perform all onsite work within
an apprenticeable occupation in the building and construction
trades.
(c) The requirements of this Section shall not immediately
apply to contracts awarded before July January 1, 2020, unless
the contract is extended or renewed after that date. Contracts
awarded before July January 1, 2020 shall meet the requirements
of this Section no later than July January 1, 2021.
(d) The requirements of this Section shall only apply to
the skilled and trained workforce, contracted with an owner or
operator to perform construction work at the stationary source
site.
(e) The skilled and trained workforce requirements under
this Section shall not apply to:
(1) Contractors that have requested qualified workers
from the local hiring halls that dispatch workers in the
apprenticeable occupation and, due to workforce shortages,

10100SB2140ham004 - 3 - LRB101 09757 CPF 69969 a
the contractor is unable to obtain sufficient qualified
workers within 48 hours of the request, Saturdays, Sundays,
and holidays excepted. This Act shall not prevent
contractors from obtaining workers from any source.
(2) An emergency where compliance is impracticable;
namely, an emergency requires immediate action to prevent
imminent harm to public health or safety or to the
environment. Within 14 days of an emergency, the Attorney
General's Workers Rights Bureau, in conjunction with the
Illinois Department of Labor, must certify that the
emergency warranted noncompliance with this Act. The
employer must provide necessary documentation of the
emergency to the Attorney General's Workers Rights Bureau
and the Illinois Department of Labor.
