examinations, sick leave, and | 23 | | other conditions of

| 26 | | (1) For court reporters employed by the Cook County |
| | | SB1910 Enrolled | - 18 - | LRB098 06984 HLH 37041 b |
|
| 1 | | Judicial
Circuit, the chief judge of the Cook County | 2 | | Circuit

| 13 | | (p) "Security employee" means an employee who is | 14 | | responsible for the
supervision and control of inmates at | 15 | | correctional facilities. The term
also includes other | 16 | | non-security employees in bargaining units having the

inmates at correctional facilities.
| 19 | | (q) "Short-term employee" means an employee who is employed | 20 | | for less
than 2 consecutive calendar quarters during a calendar | 21 | | year and who does
not have a reasonable assurance that he or | 22 | | she will be rehired by the

| 24 | | (q-5) "State agency" means an agency directly responsible | 25 | | to the Governor, as defined in Section 3.1 of the Executive | 26 | | Reorganization Implementation Act, and the Illinois Commerce |

|
| 1 | | Commission, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, the | 2 | | Civil Service Commission, the Pollution Control Board, the | 3 | | Illinois Racing Board, and the Department of State Police Merit | 4 | | Board. | 5 | | (r) "Supervisor" is: | 6 | | (1) An employee whose principal work is substantially
| 7 | | different from that of his or her subordinates and who has | 8 | | authority, in the
interest of the employer, to hire, | 9 | | transfer, suspend, lay off, recall,
promote, discharge, | 10 | | direct, reward, or discipline employees, to adjust
their | 11 | | grievances, or to effectively recommend any of those | 12 | | actions, if the
exercise
of that authority is not of a | 13 | | merely routine or clerical nature, but
requires the | 14 | | consistent use of independent judgment. Except with | 15 | | respect to
police employment, the term "supervisor" | 16 | | includes only those individuals
who devote a preponderance | 17 | | of their employment time to exercising that
authority, | 18 | | State supervisors notwithstanding. Nothing in this | 19 | | definition prohibits an individual from also meeting the | 20 | | definition of "managerial employee" under subsection (j) | 21 | | of this Section. In addition, in determining
supervisory | 22 | | status in police employment, rank shall not be | 23 | | determinative.
The Board shall consider, as evidence of | 24 | | bargaining unit inclusion or
exclusion, the common law | 25 | | enforcement policies and relationships between
police | 26 | | officer ranks and certification under applicable civil |
| | | SB1910 Enrolled | - 20 - | LRB098 06984 HLH 37041 b |
|
| 1 | | service law,
ordinances, personnel codes, or Division 2.1 | 2 | | of Article 10 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, but these | 3 | | factors shall not
be the sole or predominant factors | 4 | | considered by the Board in determining
police supervisory | 5 | | status.
| 6 | | Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding | 7 | | paragraph, in determining
supervisory status in fire | 8 | | fighter employment, no fire fighter shall be
excluded as a | 9 | | supervisor who has established representation rights under
| 10 | | Section 9 of this Act. Further, in new fire fighter units, | 11 | | employees shall
consist of fire fighters of the rank of | 12 | | company officer and below. If a company officer otherwise | 13 | | qualifies as a supervisor under the preceding paragraph, | 14 | | however, he or she shall
not be included in the fire | 15 | | fighter
unit. If there is no rank between that of chief and | 16 | | the
highest company officer, the employer may designate a | 17 | | position on each
shift as a Shift Commander, and the | 18 | | persons occupying those positions shall
be supervisors. | 19 | | All other ranks above that of company officer shall be
| 20 | | supervisors.
| 21 | | (2) With respect only to State employees in positions | 22 | | under the jurisdiction of the Attorney General, Secretary | 23 | | of State, Comptroller, or Treasurer (i) that were certified | 24 | | in a bargaining unit on or after December 2, 2008, (ii) for | 25 | | which a petition is filed with the Illinois Public Labor | 26 | | Relations Board on or after April 5, 2013 ( the effective |

employees whose collective interests may suitably be | 11 | | represented by a labor
organization for collective bargaining. | 12 | | Except with respect to non-State fire
fighters and paramedics | 13 | | employed by fire departments and fire protection
districts, | 14 | | non-State peace officers, and peace officers in the Department | 15 | | of
State Police, a bargaining unit determined by the Board | 16 | | shall not include both
employees and supervisors, or | 17 | | supervisors only, except as provided in paragraph
(2) of this | 18 | | subsection (s) and except for bargaining units in existence on | 19 | | July
1, 1984 (the effective date of this Act). With respect to | 20 | | non-State fire
fighters and paramedics employed by fire | 21 | | departments and fire protection
districts, non-State peace | 22 | | officers, and peace officers in the Department of
State Police, | 23 | | a bargaining unit determined by the Board shall not include | 24 | | both
supervisors and nonsupervisors, or supervisors only, | 25 | | except as provided in

shall contain no employees other than peace officers | 4 | | unless otherwise agreed to
by the employer and the labor | 5 | | organization or labor organizations involved.
Notwithstanding | 6 | | any other provision of this Act, a bargaining unit, including a
| 7 | | historical bargaining unit, containing sworn peace officers of | 8 | | the Department
of Natural Resources (formerly designated the | 9 | | Department of Conservation) shall
contain no employees other | 10 | | than such sworn peace officers upon the effective
date of this | 11 | | amendatory Act of 1990 or upon the expiration date of any
| 12 | | collective bargaining agreement in effect upon the effective | 13 | | date of this
amendatory Act of 1990 covering both such sworn | 14 | | peace officers and other
employees.
| 15 | | (2) Notwithstanding the exclusion of supervisors from | 16 | | bargaining units
as provided in paragraph (1) of this | 17 | | subsection (s), a public
employer may agree to permit its | 18 | | supervisory employees to form bargaining units
and may bargain | 19 | | with those units. This Act shall apply if the public employer
| 20 | | chooses to bargain under this subsection.
| 21 | | (3) Public employees who are court reporters, as defined
in | 22 | | the Court Reporters Act,
shall be divided into 3 units for | 23 | | collective bargaining purposes. One unit
shall be court | 24 | | reporters employed by the Cook County Judicial Circuit; one
| 25 | | unit shall be court reporters employed by the 12th, 18th, 19th, | 26 | | and, on and after December 4, 2006, the 22nd judicial

Only those | 8 | | employment positions that have been certified in a bargaining | 9 | | unit on or after December 2, 2008, that have a pending petition | 10 | | for certification in a bargaining unit on April 5, 2013 ( the | 11 | | effective date of Public Act 97-1172) this amendatory Act of | 12 | | the 97th General Assembly , or that neither have been certified | 13 | | in a bargaining unit on or after December 2, 2008 nor have a | 14 | | pending petition for certification in a bargaining unit on the | 15 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | 16 | | Assembly are eligible to be designated by the Governor under | 17 | | this Section.

Any designation made by the Governor | 18 | | under this Section shall be presumed to have been properly | 19 | | made. | 20 | | If the Governor chooses not to designate a position under | 21 | | this Section, then that decision does not preclude a State | 22 | | agency from otherwise challenging the certification of that | 23 | | position under this Act. | 24 | | The qualifying categories set forth in paragraphs (1) | 25 | | through (5) of subsection (b) of this Section are operative and | 26 | | function solely within this Section and do not expand or |
