Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 21.5. Termination of certain agreements after constitutional officers take office.

(a) No collective bargaining agreement entered into, on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly between an executive branch constitutional officer or any agency or department of an executive branch constitutional officer and a labor organization may extend more than 12 months after the date on which the terms of office of executive branch constitutional officers begin.

(b) No collective bargaining agreement entered into, on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly between an executive branch constitutional officer or any agency or department of an executive branch constitutional officer and a labor organization may provide for an increase in salary, wages, or benefits starting on or after the first day of the terms of office of executive branch constitutional officers and ending June 30th of that same year. The provisions of this subsection (b) shall not apply to salary, pay schedules, or benefits that would continue because of the duty to maintain the status quo and to bargain in good faith.

(c) Any collective bargaining agreement in violation of this Section is terminated and rendered null and void by operation of law.

(d) For purposes of this Section, "executive branch constitutional officer" has the same meaning as that term is defined in the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act.
