(30 ILCS 570/1.1) (from Ch. 48, par. 2201.1)
Sec. 1.1.
The General Assembly finds and declares that unemployment in
Illinois has traditionally tended to be higher in those counties which
border upon other states. Further, the General Assembly finds and declares
that the over‑utilization of out‑of‑state laborers on public works projects
or improvements for the State of Illinois or any political subdivision,
municipal corporation or other governmental units thereof is a contributing
factor to higher levels of unemployment both in the border counties and
throughout Illinois. It is the public policy of this State and the
objective of this Act to promote the general welfare of the people of this
State by ensuring that Illinois laborers are utilized to the greatest
extent possible on public works projects or improvements for the State of
Illinois or any political subdivision, municipal corporation or other
governmental units thereof. To this end, this Act shall be liberally
construed to effectuate its purpose.
