646+9 any rule adopted under this Act shall be subject to a civil
647+10 penalty of not less than $100 and not more than $18,000 to
648+11 exceed $6,000 for violations found in the first audit by the
649+12 Department or determined by a court in a civil action brought
650+13 by an interested party, or determined by a court in a civil
651+14 action brought by the Attorney General pursuant to its
652+15 authority under Section 6.3 of the Attorney General Act.
653+16 Following a first audit or civil action, a day and temporary

658+21 this subsection, each violation of this Act for each day or
659+22 temporary laborer and for each day the violation continues

676+4 circuit court to be willful which is within 3 years of an
677+5 earlier violation, the Department may revoke the registration
678+6 of the violator, if the violator is a day and temporary labor

683+11 litigation, the Director of Labor shall be represented by
684+12 the Attorney General.

709+2 Sec. 85. Third party clients.
710+3 (a) It is a violation of this Act for a third party client
711+4 to enter into a contract for the employment of day or temporary
712+5 laborers with any day and temporary labor service agency not
713+6 registered under Section 45 of this Act. A third party client
714+7 has a duty to verify a day and temporary labor service agency's
715+8 status with the Department before entering into a contract
716+9 with such an agency, and on March 1 and September 1 of each
717+10 year. A day and temporary labor service agency shall be
718+11 required to provide each of its third party clients with proof
719+12 of valid registration issued by the Department at the time of
720+13 entering into a contract. A day and temporary labor service
721+14 agency shall be required to notify, both by telephone and in
722+15 writing, each day or temporary laborer it employs and each
723+16 third party client with whom it has a contract within 24 hours
724+17 of any denial, suspension, or revocation of its registration
725+18 by the Department. All contracts between any day and temporary
726+19 labor service agency and any third party client shall be
727+20 considered null and void from the date any such denial,
728+21 suspension, or revocation of registration becomes effective
729+22 and until such time as the day and temporary labor service
730+23 agency becomes registered and considered in good standing by
731+24 the Department as provided in Section 50 and Section 55. Upon
732+25 request, the Department shall provide to a third party client
733+26 a list of entities registered as day and temporary labor

744+1 service agencies. The Department shall provide on the Internet
745+2 a list of entities registered as day and temporary labor
746+3 service agencies. A third party client may rely on information
747+4 provided by the Department or maintained on the Department's
748+5 website pursuant to Section 45 of this Act and shall be held
749+6 harmless if such information maintained or provided by the
750+7 Department was inaccurate. Any third party client that
751+8 violates this provision of the Act is subject to a civil
752+9 penalty of not less than $100 and not to exceed $1,500 $500.
753+10 Each day during which a third party client contracts with a day
754+11 and temporary labor service agency not registered under
755+12 Section 45 of this Act shall constitute a separate and
756+13 distinct offense.
757+14 (b) If a third party client leases or contracts with a day
758+15 and temporary service agency for the services of a day or
759+16 temporary laborer, the third party client shall share all
760+17 legal responsibility and liability for the payment of wages
761+18 under the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act and the
762+19 Minimum Wage Law.
763+20 (c) Before the assignment of an employee to a worksite
764+21 employer, a day and temporary labor service agency must:
765+22 (1) inquire about the client company's safety and
766+23 health practices and hazards at the actual workplace where
767+24 the day or temporary laborer will be working to assess the
768+25 safety conditions, workers tasks, and the client company's
769+26 safety program; these activities are required at the start

782+3 during the inquiry or anytime during the period of the
783+4 contract, the day and temporary labor service agency
784+5 becomes aware of existing job hazards that are not
785+6 mitigated by the client company, the day and temporary
786+7 labor service agency must make the client company aware,
787+8 urge the client company to correct it, and document these
788+9 efforts, otherwise the day and temporary labor service
789+10 agency must remove the day or temporary laborers from the
790+11 client company's worksite;
791+12 (2) provide training to the day or temporary laborer
792+13 for general awareness safety training for recognized
793+14 industry hazards the day or temporary laborer may
794+15 encounter at the client company's worksite. Industry
795+16 hazard training must be completed, in the preferred
796+17 language of the day or temporary laborer, and must be
797+18 provided at no expense to the day or temporary laborer.
798+19 The training date and training content must be maintained
799+20 by the day and temporary staffing agency and provided to
800+21 the day or temporary laborer;
801+22 (3) transmit a general description of the training
802+23 program including topics covered to the client company,
803+24 whether electronically or on paper, at the start of the
804+25 contract with the client company;
805+26 (4) provide the Department's hotline number for the

819+4 (5) inform the day or temporary laborer who the day or
820+5 temporary laborer should report safety concerns to at the
821+6 workplace.
822+7 Nothing in this Section shall diminish any existing client
823+8 company or a day and temporary labor service agency's
824+9 responsibility as an employer to provide a place of employment
825+10 free from recognized hazards or to otherwise comply with other
826+11 health and safety or employment laws. The client company and
827+12 the day and temporary labor service agency are responsible for
828+13 compliance with this Section and the rules adopted under this
829+14 Section.
830+15 (d) Before the day or temporary laborer engages in work
831+16 for a client company, the client company must:
832+17 (1) document and inform the day and temporary labor
833+18 service agency about anticipated job hazards likely
834+19 encountered by the day or temporary laborer;
835+20 (2) review the safety and health awareness training
836+21 provided by the day and temporary labor service agency to
837+22 determine if it addresses recognized hazards for the
838+23 client company's industry;
839+24 (3) provide specific training tailored to the
840+25 particular hazards at the client company's worksite; and

853+2 occurred to the day and temporary labor service agency
854+3 within 3 business days of providing the training.
855+4 (e) If the client company changes the job tasks or work
856+5 location and new hazards may be encountered, the client
857+6 company must:
858+7 (1) inform both the day and temporary labor service
859+8 agency and the day or temporary laborer; and
860+9 (2) inform both the day and temporary labor service
861+10 agency staffing agency and the day or temporary laborer of
862+11 job hazards not previously covered before the day or
863+12 temporary laborer undertakes the new tasks and update
864+13 personal protective equipment and training for the new job
865+14 tasks, if necessary.
866+15 (f) A day and temporary labor service agency or day or
867+16 temporary laborer may refuse a new job task at the worksite
868+17 when the task has not been reviewed or if the day or temporary
869+18 laborer has not had appropriate training to do the new task.
870+19 (g) A client company that supervises a day or temporary
871+20 laborer must provide worksite specific training to the day or
872+21 temporary laborer and must allow a day and temporary labor
873+22 service agency to visit any worksite where the day or
