1 AN ACT to amend the Public Community College Act by
2 adding Section 3-26.2.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Public Community College Act is amended
6 by adding Section 3-26.2 as follows:
7 (110 ILCS 805/3-26.2 new)
8 Sec. 3-26.2. Full-time position requirements.
9 (a) In order to enhance the quality of community college
10 instruction and provide for a more equitable treatment of
11 community college faculty members, it shall be the policy of
12 the State of Illinois that part-time teachers (i) be used
13 solely to supplement and not to replace any existing
14 full-time tenured or nontenured faculty member, and (ii) be
15 used solely in those instances in which a full-time position
16 cannot be generated or when specialized services that no
17 full-time tenured or nontenured faculty member is competent
18 to render are required.
19 (b) Each community college board shall achieve, on a
20 phased-in basis as provided in this subsection, a ratio
21 between its full-time faculty members and part-time teachers
22 under which at least 75% of all full-time equivalent teaching
23 positions in the community college district are held by
24 full-time faculty members and not more than 25% of all
25 full-time equivalent teaching positions in the community
26 college district are held by part-time teachers; provided
27 that this subsection shall not be construed to prohibit job
28 sharing of full-time positions.
29 Beginning with fiscal year 1998, and in each fiscal year
30 thereafter, a community college district shall use and apply
31 not less than 33% of the amount by which the aggregate grants

1 received by the district under Section 2-16.02 for the
2 current fiscal year exceed the aggregate grants received by
3 the district under that Section for the immediately preceding
4 fiscal year to (i) increase the number of full-time
5 equivalent teaching positions in the district that are held
6 by full-time faculty members and (ii) decrease the number of
7 full-time equivalent teaching positions in the district that
8 are held by part-time teachers. The requirement of using a
9 specified percentage of each fiscal year's increase in the
10 aggregate grants received by the district under Section
11 2-16.02 shall no longer apply to the district when at least
12 75% of those full-time equivalent teaching positions are held
13 by full-time faculty members and not more than 25% of those
14 full-time equivalent teaching positions are held by part-time
15 teachers.
16 (c) The State Board shall promulgate all rules necessary
17 to administer and implement the provisions of this Section.
18 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
19 becoming law.
