Provides that a public body or entity covered by the Act that contracts for work with a contractor or subcontractor without a public bid or project specification shall provide the contractor or subcontractor with a prevailing wage notice on the project on the purchase order or on a separate document. Provides that, if the Department of Labor determines that a violation of the Act has occurred, the Department shall determine whether a proper notice was given to the contractor, and, if a notice was not given, shall order the public body to pay back wages, interest, penalties, or fines owed by the contractor to its employees. Provides that a contractor is not in violation if a notice is not given to the contractor. Provides that the failure to provide a notice does not diminish the obligation of a contractor to pay the prevailing wage. Provides that a contractor who has awarded work to a subcontractor without a contract or a contract specification may provide a lower tiered subcontractor with a written prevailing wage notice. Provides that a contractor with a business location where workers regularly visit may, instead of posting a prevailing wage notice on a job site, post at that business or give a written notice to those workers. Provides that information made available under a Freedom of Information Act request regarding certified payrolls shall be used only to enforce the Act. Prohibits misuse of the information. Sets forth criminal and civil penalties. Provides for handling of complaints. Makes other changes.</SynopsisText><synopsistitle>House Amendment No. 1</synopsistitle>
