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.

(20 ILCS 415/8b.3) (from Ch. 127, par. 63b108b.3)

Sec. 8b.3.

For assessment of employees with contractual rights under a collective bargaining agreement to determine those candidates who are eligible for appointment and
promotion and their relative excellence. Assessments, which are the determination of whether an individual meets the minimum qualifications as determined by the  class specification of the position for which they are being considered, shall be designed to objectively eliminate those who are not qualified for the position into which they are applying and to discover the relative fitness of those who are qualified. The Director may substitute rankings such as superior,
excellent, well-qualified and qualified for  numerical ratings and establish qualification assessments or assessment equivalents
 accordingly. The Department may adopt rules regarding the assessment of applicants and the appointment of qualified candidates. Adopted rules shall be interpreted to be consistent with collective bargaining agreements.
