HB 1547

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act. Provides that discipline and disciplinary due process procedures shall be mandatory subjects of bargaining for firefighters and peace officers. Provides that a home rule unit may not regulate these mandatory subjects of discipline and disciplinary due process procedures in an inconsistent manner. Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Deletes provisions that stated, as to firefighters and peace officers, that in non-home rule units of government that due process was a permissive subject and not a mandatory subject, except where a collective bargaining agreement included due process provisions and was in effect on the effective date of the prior amendatory Act. Effective immediately.
