Avery Bourne & Tracy Butler Opposing the reversal of Authority for Public Construction Bonds (SB3053). The law in place allowing cities & counties to require developers to post a cash bond to insure that the public improvements on new developments are completed is already in place and has worked well for many years. This is not a broken law and there Is no need to “fix it”. This bill has been held from consideration. Opposing Mandatory Paid Sick Leave (HB3297 & SB2147) would place a hardship, especially on small business owners, like builders and remodelers who operate on the slimmest of margins. The HB is dead and the SB was not called for consideration. Support Government Consolidation (HB4501) a bill to increase county governments authority to make local government more effective. Currently in its 2nd reading but probably will not move in time. Group picture with Senators Kyle McCarter & James Clayborne Opposition to Expand State Sales Tax onto Construction Contractors proposed. This expansion would affect primarily transactions between remodeling contractors and home owners. HBAI presented a NAHB estimate that in 2015, $5.2 billion in residential remodeling activity in IL would have been affected and the devastating impact it would have on both business and consumers. This proposal will not move forward. That all being said, all HBA’s in the state were very successful with their efforts to address these concerns with our state Legislators. Kristina Rasumussen with the Illinois Policy Institute, Rep. Terri Bryant along with Jan Johnson & Tracy Butler A special THANK YOU to Kyle Anderson with the Illinois Association of REALTORS for helping our staff set up our own room to meet with the Legislators! Senator Sam McCann, Senator Luechtefeld, and Representatives Charlie Meier & Dwight Kay took time to hear our concerns with all the bills and discuss the other happenings at the Capitol. 9 ׉ 7cassandra://rFlA3oSlfkFBdZ3AgYAoXCwKIsJBLudoIsVyY6fUNm44c`WOn䰍W(WOn䰍W((בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://5lPUrKsF0KU5IH-2mLbTWy2la9gM_-yUgsP4pk-bKEU*`׉ 7cassandra://DfJZmQjhJbC4JqtX9wfzZ04JIoEoTqsfVl97yKnO6voͯt`s׉ 7cassandra://BG1mr6oSx3ZB3Kd-REEa6recWj7E_8ijYCDobVP7AGw+=`׉ 7cassandra://vwGGUxogXQ4f5PxqVeSFpwOKB0d7v11f9yLcFdshv0U$͠]WOo䰍W(ט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://pozf6Ri-15aqViuHto2NxcU7qOrB9HEuMVaqE8719VM,`׉ 7cassandra://9qLfeilBgdegzN8-GBUK1M9nwOc9szPneNIjocXoxDUͥ`s׉ 7cassandra://U8zmU1vx4g3p3v2wwd8QAlJBeq3STyBLMrJYru6NntM/=`׉ 7cassandra://vrNFFHD4sCCYPYlVou5as-ELVMO-10gcqDEEcZTzCN8h͠]WOo䰍W(נWOn䰍W(+9׉Hhttp://nahbnow.com/Gׁ ׁ rנWOn䰍W(Q̇9׉Hhttp://mailto:sbeall@nahb.orgGׁ ׁ rנWOn䰍W(*ځ9׉H?http://nahbnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/overtimeclock.jpgGׁ ׁ rנWOn䰍W( .9׉HUhttp://nahbnow.com/2016/05/overtime-rule-doubles-salary-threshold-takes-effect-dec-1/Gׁ ׁ rנWOn䰍W(U7[.9׉HUhttp://nahbnow.com/2016/05/overtime-rule-doubles-salary-threshold-takes-effect-dec-1/Gׁ ׁ r׉EActOnEnergy / SCI Engineering ActOnEnergy / SCI Engineering ActOnEnergy / SCI Engineering ActOnEnergy / SCI Engineering Arrowhead Building Supply Arrowhead Building Supply Arrowhead Building Supply Arrowhead Building Supply Arrowhead Building Supply AUTCOhome Appliances AUTCOhome Appliances AUTCOhome Appliances AUTCOhome Appliances Belleville Supply Belleville Supply Belleville Supply Belleville Supply Belleville Supply Belleville Supply C.A.

In a hard-hitting official statement, NAHB Chairman Ed Brady said: “The sheer arrogance displayed by the Department of Labor in failing to heed the concerns of the nation’s small business community will result in severe repercussions that will harm workers, small businesses, housing affordability, job growth and the economy. “By radically doubling the current overtime salary limit of $23,660 to $47,476, this blatant regulatory overreach will essentially hurt many of the workers the rule was meant to help. Small business owners across the land, including the vast majority of home building firms, will be forced to scale back on pay and benefits, as well as cutting workers’ hours in order to avoid overtime requirements and remain in business. “Congress can play a constructive role by moving quickly to pass the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act (House bill H.R. 4773 and Senate bill S. 2707), legislation that 11 would force the agency to withdraw this rule until it has considered the effects it would have on small businesses, consumers, workers and the economy.” The rule, which will take effect Dec. 1, indexes the salary threshold to inflation every three years, forcing employers to go through this process on an ongoing basis. Moreover, the huge spike in the overtime threshold could force many employers to convert salaried employees to hourly workers in order to remain solvent. These workers could wind up earning less money than they were making previously, and lose the workplace flexibility that comes with being a salaried employee.. This 100% increase to the salary threshold for overtime eligibility will hit the home building industry particularly hard and harm housing affordability. It will reduce job-advancement opportunities and the hours of full-time construction supervisors, leading to construction delays, increased costs and less affordable housing options for consumers. NAHB estimates more than 96,000 construction supervisors would become overtime eligible under this rule. “Given the huge economic disruption this rule will cause, the Department of Labor needs to start over and produce a sensible plan that will gradually raise the overtime threshold from its current rate and properly take into account the regional variations in wages and cost of living,” said Brady.

A Measurable Difference The Illinois Quality Assurance Builder Standards provides, new homebuyers and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of the project against an industry approved set of standards. These standards create a series of performance standards that the builders and the homeowners can use to communicate and understand one others' expectations regarding the building or remodeling project. The standards address the most prevalent issues that arise between the builder and the customer before the project, and, most importantly, after the project is completed. All too often it is the undefined expectations that create the majority of the problems encountered in the building and remodeling processes. The standards will help eliminate problems before the project even begins. 6100 West Main Street – Maryville, IL 62062 or 618-343-6331 - tbutler@hbaswil.org 20 Sample of an Issue in the QA book. 4.4 Cracks in Exterior Concrete Observation: Exterior concrete - sidewalks, porches, patios, drive- ways, etc. - are cracked. Standard: Some random cracking of exterior concrete will occur and is to be expected. If settling causes cracks that exceed 1/4 inch width or 3/16 inch in vertical displacement, it is considered excessive. Builder’s Responsibility: The builder is responsible for correcting only those cracks that exceed the standard. An appropriate joint or crack filler can be used and is acceptable for a crack up to 1/2 inch in width or vertical displacement. Homeowner’s Responsibility: For aesthetic purposes, smaller cracks may be filled with a waterproof concrete caulk. While this may reduce the appearance of the crack, it should be noted that there will be a color and texture variance between the original concrete and the caulking. Discussion: Driveways, patios, and sidewalks should have expansion and contraction joints which help to control surface cracking. Refer to definition number 5 on page 9. Contained in the 200 pages of the QA Book are 22 section of the most prevalent issues encountered in the construction process. Each section contains numerous sub-sections of specific items. An example is the above 4.4 Cracks in Exterior Concrete.
