LABOR EQUITY ACT                                                           

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Labor Equity Act.   Prohibits  the  State,  units  of      
   local  government,   and school districts from entering into contracts      
   with, making loans or grants to, surveying  lands  on  behalf  of,  or      
   purchasing the securities of any employer which has offered or granted      
   the  status  of  a permanent replacement employee to an individual for      
   performing bargaining unit  work  for  the  employer  during  a  labor      
   dispute. Amends the Advertisement for Strike Workers Act.  Changes the      
   short  title to the Advertisement for and Employment of Strike Workers      
   Act.  Provides  that  no  public  or  educational  employer  may  hire      
   permanent  replacements  for  employees  lawfully  striking  under the      
   Illinois Public Labor Relations Act or the Illinois Educational  Labor      
   Relations  Act.   Provides that a court may grant injunctive relief to      
   enforce those provisions.  Amends the Labor  Dispute  Act  to  provide      
   that  it  does  not  apply  to injunctions issued by a court under the      
   Advertisement for and Employment of Strike Workers Act.                     
          STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce & Community Affairs)          
          In the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Community           
          Affairs (DCCA), HB 945 creates a service mandate which requires      
          a 50% to 100% reimbursement of the increased costs to units of       
          local government under the State Mandates Act.                       
          HOME RULE NOTE (Dept. of Commerce & Community Affairs)               
          The legislation does not contain language indicating a               
          pre-emption of home rule powers and functions. Therefore, in         
          the opinion of DCCA, HB 945 does not pre-empt home rule              
          authority.                                                           
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Labor)                                    
          The Department would need additional funds for administrative        
          costs for additional staffing to develop rules and procedures        
          and implement for one year. Impact on the Department would be        
          $156,300 for costs associated with 3 new personnel.
