    AN ACT in relation to labor relations.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Public Labor Relations Act is
amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
 
    (5 ILCS 315/15)  (from Ch. 48, par. 1615)
    Sec. 15. Act Takes Precedence. (a) In case of any conflict
between the provisions of this Act and any other law, executive
order or administrative regulation relating to wages, hours and
conditions of employment and employment relations, the
provisions of this Act or any collective bargaining agreement
negotiated thereunder shall prevail and control. Nothing in
this Act shall be construed to replace or diminish the rights
of employees established by Sections 28 and 28a of the
Metropolitan Transit Authority Act, Sections 2.15 through 2.19
of the Regional Transportation Authority Act. Nothing in this
Act shall be construed to replace the necessity of complaints
against a sworn peace officer, as defined in Section 2(a) of
the Uniform Peace Officer Disciplinary Act, from having a
complaint supported by a sworn affidavit.
    (b) Except as provided in subsection (a) above, any
collective bargaining contract between a public employer and a
labor organization executed pursuant to this Act shall
supersede any contrary statutes, charters, ordinances, rules
or regulations relating to wages, hours and conditions of
employment and employment relations adopted by the public
employer or its agents. Any collective bargaining agreement
entered into prior to the effective date of this Act shall
remain in full force during its duration.
    (c) It is the public policy of this State, pursuant to
paragraphs (h) and (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
Illinois Constitution, that the provisions of this Act are the
exclusive exercise by the State of powers and functions which
might otherwise be exercised by home rule units. Such powers
and functions may not be exercised concurrently, either
directly or indirectly, by any unit of local government,
including any home rule unit, except as otherwise authorized by
this Act.
