LEGISLATIVE UPDATE The following Bills are in the House chamber thats deadline is to move the Bill this week for Senate consideration. HBAI holds weekly Legislative calls with updates and here is the latest: HB2538 General Contracting Licensing Act - OPPOSED. Currently in the Labor & Commerce Committee. Many members came forward with their Opposition and reasoning that included no trust in our State regulating our industry, a fallacy to think that licensing will level the playing field, obtaining a building permit is already in place. This proposal has come up many times over the years and has been successfully defeated. ACTION ITEM: Link to Witness Slip HB3125 Electric Car Chargers for Single Family Homes - OPPOSED. Currently in the Energy & Environment Committee. New language was proposed that didn’t change much of our opposition, this would still require 1 parking space to be EV-Capable. ACTION ITEM: Link to Witness Slip HB5412 General Contractors Responsible for Sub Non-Payment of Wages - OPPOSED. Currently in the Labor & Commerce Committee. There are several other groups in opposition of this Bill that include Associated Builders & Contractors, Black Contractors Owners &Executives, Hispanic American Construction Industry Association, Illinois Chamber of Commerce and Women’s Construction Owners & Executives. ACTION ITEM: Link to Witness Slip Links to Witness Slips will take a few minutes to complete. In Section III. Position, check off opponent, Section IV.
