Short description: 
PUB LABOR-EXCLUSIVE REP                                                    

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations  Act.   Provides  that      
   for  a  unit  of  local  government employing 5 through 34 employees a      
   petition or request for recognition may be  filed  demonstrating  that      
   75%  or  more  of  the employees wish to be exclusively represented in      
   collective bargaining by a  labor  organization.   Provides  that  the      
   Illinois State Labor Relations Board shall investigate and process the      
   petition   or  request  for  recognition  according  to  Board  rules.      
   Includes these petitions or requests within  the  application  of  the      
   Act.  Effective July 1, 2001.                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (Labor Relations Board)                                  
          The annual fiscal impact for HB 850 would be $125,000.               
          STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs)        
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB 850 creates a local government            
          organization and structure mandate for which reimbursement of        
          the increased costs to units of local government is not              
          required under the State Mandates Act.                               
          HOME RULE NOTE (Dept. Commerce and Community Affairs)                
          HB 850 amends the Public Labor Relations Act which provides          
          that the provisions of the Act are the exclusive exercise by         
          the State of powers and functions which might otherwise be           
          exercised by home rule units. Therefore, in the opinion of           
          DCCA, the provisions of HB 850 apply to home rule units of           
          local government.                                                    
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Changes from 5 to 10 the minimum number of employees of a unit of      
   local government to which the bill applies.                                 
          STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1                                          
          (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs)                       
          Same as previous State mandates note.                                
          HOME RULE NOTE, H-AM 1                                               
          (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs)                       
          Same as previous Home Rule note.                                     
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Labor Relations Board)                          
          Same as previous fiscal note.
