IL HB1054

Amends the Prevailing Wage Act to clarify that contractors, subcontractors, and their officers/employees/agents who willfully fail to file certified payroll on time or willfully file false certified payroll are subject to penalties under the Act in addition to being guilty of a Class A misdemeanor

Current law already makes these violations a Class A misdemeanor; the amendment explicitly adds that violators are also "subject to penalties under this Act" as an additional consequence

Applies to public works projects where certified payroll records must be filed monthly by the 15th of each calendar month for the preceding month

Requires contractors and subcontractors to maintain detailed worker records for 5 years, including wages, hours, classifications, and fringe benefits
