(HALVORSON-JONES,E-WALSH,L) New Act Creates the Structural Work Act of 2001. Requires that scaffolds and related mechanical contrivances used in work on a building or other structure be constructed in a safe and suitable manner. Sets forth safety standards. Authorizes the Director of Labor and local authorities to inspect scaffolding and to require reconstruction of unsafe scaffolding. Provides that a violation of the Act is a Class A misdemeanor, and authorizes the State's Attorney or another attorney to take necessary steps to enforce compliance with the Act. Provides for a right of action if a person is injured or killed as a result of a wilful violation of the Act. Uses the language of the Structural Work Act before its repeal by P.A. 89-2. Effective immediately. CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections) There will be no prison population impact or fiscal impact. JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts) HB 158 would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State. FISCAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts) HB 158 would have minimal fiscal impact on the judicial branch. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Labor) As a result of increased caseload, the impact on the Department will be $138,800 for costs associated with 2 professional and one clerical position. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) In the opinion of DCCA, HB 158 creates a service mandate for which 50% to 100% of the increased costs to units of local government is required, and a due process mandate for which reimbursement is not required under the State Mandates Act. Due to the nature of the bill, an estimate of the cost to units of local government is not available at this time.
