FAMILY & MEDICAL LEAVE ACT Senate SponsorsSen. Kimberly A. Lightford-Donne E. Trotter-Mattie Hunter-Jacqueline Y. Collins 1/11/2005SenateSession Sine Die New ActCreates the Illinois Family and Medical Leave Act. Contains provisions similar to those in the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, except that it applies to employers with 25 or more (instead of 50 or more) employees and some of the provisions of the Federal law pertaining to federal employees and federal matters have been deleted or changed. Effective 6 months after becoming law.Fiscal Note (Department of Central Management Service) The Department of Central Management Services anticipates no fiscal impact from this bill. Fiscal Note (Illinois State Board of Education) An exact fiscal impact is difficult to determine. To the extent that the provisions of the Act apply to local school districts, there will be a fiscal impact at that level. It is likely that employees of school districts will avail themselves to the provisions of this Act, which may require districts to hire a substitute teacher. Fiscal Note (Dept of Commerce and Community Affairs) It is anticipated that SB 682 will incur a fiscal impact or units of local government with 25 or more employees. However, to the extent that the legislation requires additional expenditures of local revenue, the fiscal impact cannot be estimated at this time. 2/19/2003SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
