Requires the State department, agency, authority, board, or instrumentality to negotiate the project labor agreement in good faith with labor organizations in the construction industry. Sets out the terms to be included in the project labor agreement. Requires a finding setting forth the justification for using a project labor agreement. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code.

Provides that a State department, agency, authority, board, or instrumentality that has a project labor agreement in connection with a public works project shall prepare and file with the Department of Labor a quarterly report that includes workforce participation by minorities and females.
