PREVAIL WAGE-DAMAGES-CONTRACTS
Summary
Amends the Prevailing Wage Act. Defines "compensatory damages" as the sum of economic and non-economic damages.

Provides that no public body, including a home rule unit, is authorized to use, as a basis for denying a contract to a contractor or subcontractor, any complaint filed with the Department or any determination by the Department that the contractor or subcontractor has committed a violation under the Act, unless the contractor or subcontractor is debarred at the time of the bid.
