From left to right:
As our group of HBA members attempted to meet with 16 State Representatives and Senators in the
afternoon with set appointments or trying to get them off the session floor we had a captive audience at
the reception to talk with our local Legislators on the key issues facing our industry this session.
The results of the day may not have been a victory on all the issues we had in front of us but it truly was
successful with keeping our relationship and voices heard by our Legislators!
SB1322 Vehicle Seizure Home Repair Fraud was opposed by HBAI member in the state and since has
been held in Senate by its sponsor, Senator Barickman. This is a triumph for our industry. This bill
would have allowed law enforcement to unilaterally seize a vehicle belonging to someone they believe
has committed home repair fraud. Police officers who make this judgment call could tie up the use of
the repairman’s truck for up to 35 days before State’s Attorneys and Judges would take action on the
matter and put many small business owners our of business prior to due process. HBAI recommended
to take this concept to the Task Force for their consideration as part of a comprehensive review for
improving consumer protection within the home remodeling and repair industry. Stay tuned……….

section (R403.6) or the International Mechanical
Code, as applicable, or with other approved means of
ventilations. Outdoor air intakes and exhausts shall
have automatic or gravity dampers that close when the
ventilation system is not operating. This section goes
on to address recirculation of air, whole-house
mechanical ventilations system, system design, system
controls, mechanical ventilation rate and exceptions
that go into great detail that were agreed upon by the
Builders representing HBAI on the sub-committee.
Employee Classification Reform: Is largely supported
by HBA members! SB0993 has passed Senate and is
now in the House sponsored by Representative
Dwight Kay to make the Employee Classification Act
reporting date changed from January 30th to April
30th to help coordinate the timing of putting together
1099’s. Senator McCarter also has SB0979 that
received an extended deadline for a 3rd reading in the
Labor Committee (Chair, Representative Jay
Hoffman) to change the Employee Standards to
coordinate with the Federal Labor & Standards
Act...keep your fingers crossed that this will go thru.
HBA members are still working closely with Rep. Jay
Hoffman (pictured below) to continue talks about the
Employee Classification Act and IDES Audits that we
will keep you posted on.

regarding the Energy
Code and other issues.
SB1270 Practice Act for Interior Design Work was
opposed by our industry and is currently in a special
senate subcommittee. The sponsor, Senator Kim
Lightford and proponents of this legislation have been
accommodating to our concerns, however, we remain
philosophically opposed to this level of licensure for
interior design work with support from other
organizations such as the Illinois Retail Merchants

2015 Energy Codes have finally been agreed upon by
the Residential & Commercial sub-committees that
share their recommendations with the Capital
Development Board (CDB) and then on to the Joint
Committee of Administrative Rules (JCAR). The
current language has the following notable mentions:
Full basement wall insulation for both zones 4 and 5
will require R-value of 10/13 and half basement wall
insulation will be required to have R-value of 15/19.
The exact details of the 10 and 4 feet from the top of
the basement wall remain as stated in the 2012 IECC
currently in place.
HB2635 Bonding Over Lien Rights was opposed and
currently in Senate for its 1st reading. This allows the
substitution of a bond security in place of the property
that is subject to a mechanics lien. This would allow
property to be transferred even though payments may
have not been paid to subcontractors for
improvements made on that property. This bill,

CONSTRUCTION TREE CLEARING COULD GET BATTY!
The Indiana bat & Northern long-eared bat
that live in our region have been listed as
federally threatened or endangered species
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS). As a result, restrictions are often
placed on permits that only allow tree
clearing during the winter months. Other
restrictions including the need for site specific
surveys , conservation measures and
mitigation can also become necessary. This
clearly affect project schedules, budgets and
necessary lead time.
What this means for your construction project
depends on multiple factors, including the
acreage of proposed tree clearing, types of
trees on the site and the proximity to water
sources. Proposed tree clearing as small as
one acre in size can require an endangered
species consultation and may result in site
restrictions.
SCI Engineering has performed habitat
assessments, acoustic monitoring, mist net
surveys and even mitigation plans for bat
habitat trees. The Indiana bat hibernates in
dense clusters on cave ceilings in the winter
months and rears its young in crevices of
dead or shaggy-barked trees during the mid
summer months. The Northern long-eared
has similar habitat requirements as the
Indiana bat and can use trees as small as 3inch diameter at breast height.
Summer roost habitat typically includes
forested tracts dominated by shagbark
hickories, silver and sugar maples, green
ash, American elms and eastern
cottonwoods that contain characteristics such
as exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices or
hollows. Preserving these habitat types is
essential to protecting the declining
populations of the these bats.
Additionally, SCI recently hired a certified bat
biologist to help assist through the
endangered species consultation process.
With that in mind, every site is different and
presents its own set of challenges for
regulatory consulting. If you have questions
on how threatened and endangered bat
habitat can affect your projects, don’t hesitate
to contact Scott Harding or Mike Hartoin with
SCI Engineering at (618) 624-6969.

2% is the new 3%
Last year, GDP growth was a mediocre 2.4%. While it was the best growth since 2010 when GDP
growth was a “sparkling” 2.5%, it means yet another year, the ninth in a row, of sub 3% GDP growth.
There has never been a run of such weak GDP growth since record keeping began in 1930. Yes, there
were terrible periods but they were all blessedly brief, never lasting more than two or three years and
they always occurred during recessions. In our case, the recession ended in June 2009. What is going
on? The fact is that our weak GDP growth is not surprising at all, let me explain.
GDP growth is composed of two things, growth in the labor force and growth in labor productivity.
GDP rises when more people work, and better yet, when they work more productively. Productivity
growth is particularly important because it boosts living standards.
GDP growth was very good following WWII because annual labor force growth grew dramatically
from 0.5% in 1950 to almost 2.5% in 1975. As a result, the prime-aged working population, those
between the ages of 25 and 54, grew from 60 million to almost 80 million in 25 short years. While
population growth then began to decline, it remained above 1% through 2003. As a result, the primeaged population continued growing, hitting 122 million in 2003. As a matter of fact, the labor force
grew much faster than the population during the 1970s and 1980s due to the huge influx of women
into the labor force. As a result, the prime-aged working population grew by over 3% per year during
the 1980s.
Since 2003, population growth has slowed further and is now barely 0.7%. Moreover, the Boomers
have begun retiring in large numbers and the number of working men and women has, for a number of
reasons, continued to slowly decline. As a result, the size of the prime-aged working population has
essentially flat-lined since 2003. As a matter of fact, it peaked in 2007. If the size of the prime-aged
working population is flat, it’s hard to experience rapid GDP growth even if labor productivity growth
is good.
Regrettably, labor productivity growth has not been particularly good of late. But first some history:
from 1948 through 1973 labor productivity grew at an amazing average annual rate of 2.8%. Add to
that rapid labor force growth, and it’s no wonder GDP growth averaged 4.1% per year. Between 1974
and 1990, labor productivity grew by an anemic 1.4% percent but given good population growth,
GDP growth was a solid 3.0% per year. From 1991 through 2007, productivity perked up to a very
respectable 2.4%, and despite weak population growth, GDP still averaged 3% per year.
Since the start of the Great Recession, however, we have experienced anemic labor productivity
growth of, again, 1.4% per year and a trivial increase in the working population. As a result, GDP
growth has averaged a dismal 1.2% per year. Luckily the prime-aged working population is again
starting to rise, which is good. The million dollar question is “How will labor productivity growth
perform?” Will it be a replay of the boom years

REGULATORY INTEGRITY PROTECTION ACT NEEDS YOUR ACTION TO STOP FEDERAL LAND GRAB
As part of its full throttle effort to
prevent an unprecedented
federal land grab, NAHB is
calling on members to contact
their members of Congress and
urge a "yes" vote on H.R. 1732.
As he points out, the EPA
proposal would expand federal
authority to include ditches, manmade canals and even puddles
on low-lying land.
If the Environmental Protection
Agency gets its way, millions of
additional acres of land could be
regulated as wetlands under the

H.R. 1732 would prevent this
regulatory overreach that
negatively impacts the home
building industry as it requires
the withdrawal of the proposed
rule. The agencies would be
permitted to release an updated
rule after completing a number of
missed regulatory requirements.
Please ask your representative
to support this important
legislation.
It also would require even more
property owners to get
government permits to use their
own land. That's a process that
can take months, or even years,
and cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The House is expected to vote
this Friday on H.R. 1732, which
would send EPA back to the
drawing board to develop a new
proposal. The legislation would
require EPA to:
18

Withdraw the proposed rule.
 Develop a new rule in
consultation with state and local
governments, small businesses
and other affected groups.
 Ensure that the new rule is
based on better science and
realistic economic analysis.
Now it's time for you to do your
part. Please call your members
of Congress today and urge a
"yes" vote on H.R. 1732. Don't
let EPA get away with this effort
to expand its authority.
