Abstract

Amends the duty to bargain provisions of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act. Provides that (i) once an agreement is reached between representatives of educational employees and an educational employer, the agreement shall be reduced to writing and published on the Internet website of the educational employer or published by another method and made available to the public if there is no Internet website; (ii) the educational employer may not ratify the agreement until the agreement has been published and available to the public for at least 21 days; and (iii) upon ratification by both parties, the agreement shall be signed by the parties (instead of providing that once an agreement is reached and ratified by both parties, the agreement shall be reduced to writing and signed by the parties). Makes a related change in the Freedom of Information Act. Effective immediately.
