 1        AN ACT in relation to employment.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,

 4        Section  5.  The  Prevailing  Wage  Act  is  amended   by
 5    changing Section 7 as follows:

 6        (820 ILCS 130/7) (from Ch. 48, par. 39s-7)
 7        Sec.  7.  The  finding  of  the  public body awarding the
 8    contract or authorizing the work or the Department  of  Labor
 9    ascertaining  and  declaring  the  general prevailing rate of
10    hourly wages shall be final for all purposes of the  contract
11    for  public work then being considered, unless reviewed under
12    the provisions of this Act. Nothing  in  this  Act,  however,
