KENNER. (HENDON) 105 ILCS 5/34-18.17 new Amends the School Code. Provides for the creation by the Chicago Board of Education of a Task Force on Harassment Suppression to receive and investigate charges of, and take other related action with respect to, harassing and punitive action taken by school officials or other school employees against local school council members or members of their families. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) Estimated office-related costs for the Chicago School Reform Board would be $22,000. Liability insurance for members and investigators and attorneys' fees for outside attorneys would add a substantial amount. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE (SBE) No change from SBE fiscal note. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Revises the size of the Task Force and the manner in which its members are to be appointed. Eliminates provisions under which the Task Force may act by a panel of 9 members. Provides that if the general superintendent of schools determines that suspension or removal for cause proceedings should not be instituted with respect to a matter referred by the Task Force, that the general superintendent of schools shall provide written reasons for that determination to both the Task Force and the board of education. STATE DEBT IMPACT NOTE HB 1202 would not have an impact on the level of State debt. FISCAL NOTE (State Bd. of Ed.) We estimate that the Chicago School Reform Board of Trustees would incur an expense of approximately $11,000 for these costs. Task force members and persons conducting investigations on their behalf are likely to need liability insurance. There will undoubtedly be attorneys' fees associated with the work of the task force. 97-02-28 H FIRST READING 97-02-28 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-03-05 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE ELEM SCND ED 97-03-20 H MOTION DO PASS-LOST 010-007-000 HELM 97-03-20 H REMAINS IN COMMITTEE ELEM SCND ED 97-03-21 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 014-004-001 HELM 97-03-21 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-21 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 97-03-21 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED BLACK 97-03-21 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-11 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-KENNER 97-04-11 H AMENDMENT REFERRED TO HRUL 97-04-11 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-04-11 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-04-11 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-12 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-KENNER 97-04-12 H BE ADOPTED HRUL 97-04-12 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-14 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-14 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-KENNER 97-04-14 H ADOPTED 97-04-14 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-15 H STATE DEBT IMPACT NOTE FILED 97-04-15 H CALENDAR ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-18 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 061-054-000 97-04-23 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 97-04-23 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 97-04-24 97-04-23 S CHIEF SPONSOR HENDON 97-04-24 S FIRST READING 97-04-24 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-04-24 S FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED HA 01 97-04-29 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EDUCATION 97-05-09 S POSTPONED 97-05-09 S COMMITTEE EDUCATION 97-05-10 S RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 3-9(A) RULES 99-01-12 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
