Illinois HB1247 amends the Prevailing Wage Act by expanding the definition of "public works" to include sewer inspection projects that utilize closed-circuit television to identify issues in a sewer system, such as cracks in pipes, root intrusion, blockages, or other structural damage. This change ensures that such projects, funded by public bodies or public funds, must adhere to prevailing wage requirements. The bill also includes other public works projects, such as renewable energy facilities, electric vehicle charging stations, and fiber optic cable construction.
