Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act. Provides that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, any party to a collective bargaining agreement who fails to timely comply with an arbitration award or who, after timely demand, fails to submit a grievance dispute concerning the administration or interpretation of an agreement to arbitration shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable costs of the proceeding in the trial and reviewing courts, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Provides that a charging party or person who, pursuant to an application for judicial review of an order of the Board issued in relation to an unfair labor practice proceeding, obtains a stay of the Board's order pending judicial review shall pay all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing courts, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as determined by the court, in the event the final unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to the party obtaining the stay. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

 Fiscal Note (Labor Relations Board)
 This bill will not require the expenditure of State funds or increase or decrease State revenues.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 This bill does not create a State mandate.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
5 ILCS 315/11

Removes language providing that a charging party or person who obtains a stay of an Illinois Labor Relations Board's order pending judicial review shall pay all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing court, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as determined by the court, in the event the final unappealable decision of the reviewing court is adverse to the party obtaining the stay.

 Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Dept. of Transportation)
 No land conveyances are included in this legislation, therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.

 Judicial Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 This bill would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 HB 1380 would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 ()
 

 Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Illinois Labor Relations Board)
 This bill will not require the expenditure of State funds or increase or decrease State revenues for the Illinois Labor Relations Board.

 Correctional Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Dept of Corrections)
 This bill has no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Housing Development Authority)
 This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Office of Management and Budget)
 The potential fiscal impact to the state is unknown at this time. Cost estimates to the State may become available upon the state being found to be non-compliant with any arbitration decision.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as engrossed, and provides that unless mutually agreed otherwise, any party (rather than any public employer) to a collective bargaining agreement who obtains a stay of an award issued by an arbitration panel or single arbitrator, or any mutually agreed procedures, shall pay all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing courts, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as determined by the court, in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party (rather than the public employer).

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends, in provisions concerning grievance procedures, providing that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, a party to a collective bargaining agreement who fails to timely comply with an arbitration award or who, after timely demand, fails to submit a grievance dispute concerning the administration or interpretation of an agreement to arbitration "may be ordered by a reviewing court to pay" (rather than "shall pay") to the prevailing party all reasonable costs of the proceeding in the trial and reviewing courts, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court, incurred in relation to any action to confirm or amend an award or to compel or stay arbitration of a grievance "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to the non-compliant party if the prevailing party can demonstrate that the opposing party proceeded in bad faith by unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings in order to delay compliance or enforcement of the arbitration award" (rather than "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to the non-compliant party"). Also recommends, in provisions concerning security employee, peace officer, and fire fighter disputes, providing that, unless mutually agreed otherwise, a party to a collective bargaining agreement who obtains a stay of an award issued by an arbitration panel or single arbitrator under the authority of this Section, or any mutually agreed procedures, "may be ordered by a reviewing court to pay" (rather than "shall pay") all reasonable costs of the proceedings in the reviewing courts, including reasonable attorney's fees, as determined by the court, "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party if the prevailing party can demonstrate that the opposing party proceeded in bad faith by unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings in order to delay compliance or enforcement of the arbitration award" (rather than "in the event the final, unappealable decision of the reviewing courts is adverse to that party").
