Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning the State's proposed integrated eligibility system for medical assistance, requires the Governor to meet with the exclusive representative within 14 days after the effective date of the amendatory Act for the purpose of discussing the reasons for a potential proposal to subcontract bargaining unit work. Requires the Department of Human Services to determine, within a specified time period, whether or not labor relations between the State of Illinois and the Department's public employees are currently governed by a collective bargaining agreement. Provides that until the integrated eligibility system is operational "and in order to achieve greater efficiency and economy, if, after review of existing bargaining agreements the Department of Human Services determines that relations between the State and the Department's public employees are currently governed by a collective bargaining agreement", the Department "shall" enter into a contract with the vendor selected as necessary to obtain certain electronic data matching (rather than until the integrated eligibility system is operational, the Department may enter into a contract with the vendor selected as necessary to obtain certain electronic data matching). Contains provisions concerning notice requirements. Extends the time period within which the Department must procure a vendor to verify medical assistance eligibility. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as introduced, but with the following changes: Provides that the Governor or his or her designee (rather than the Governor) shall meet with the exclusive representative as that term is defined in the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act within 14 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act for the purpose of discussing the reasons for a potential proposal to subcontract bargaining unit work. Provides that the Department of Human Services and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (rather than the Department) shall comply with all notice and procedural requirements mandated by any labor agreement, if any exists. Provides that the Department of Human Services and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (rather than the Department) shall provide advance notice, which shall not be less than 45 days, except in emergency situations, in writing, to the exclusive representative as that term is defined in the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act. Effective immediately.
