Provides that it is unlawful for an employer to interfere with, restrain, deny, change work days or hours scheduled to avoid paying sick time, or discipline an employee for the exercise of, or the attempt to exercise, any right provided under or in connection with the Act, including considering the use of paid sick time as a negative factor in an employment action that involves hiring, terminating, evaluating, promoting, disciplining, or counting the paid sick time under a no-fault attendance policy. Provides that any employer that the Department of Labor or a court finds by a preponderance of the evidence to have knowingly, repeatedly, or with reckless disregard violated any provision of the Act or any rule adopted under the Act is subject to a civil money penalty to be paid to the employee not to exceed $2,500 for each separate offense.

 Correctional Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections)
 This amendment has no fiscal impact or population impact on the department.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 0471, as amended by House Amendment 1, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 The fiscal impact of SB 471, as amended by HA 1, is not known as the number of COVID-related fatalities amongst the ranks of Chicago police officers and firefighters cannot be predicted.

 Judicial Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
  Based on a review of the bill, it has been determined that the proposed legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the state of Illinois.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
 Please be advised that the Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to Senate Bill 471, as amended by House Amendment 1 as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.

 Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Transportation)
 No land conveyances are included in Senate Bill 471 (H-AM-1); therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Public Employee Disability Act.

Provides that the employing public entity may require proof of the circumstances hindering an eligible employee's physical recovery before granting the extension. Makes conforming changes. Amends the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975. Provides that, as a condition of obtaining an organization gaming license under the Act, an entity that has at least 10 employees on average over the 12 months preceding application for the license must negotiate and enter into a labor agreement with labor organizations that seek to represent the entity's employees. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that battery of a merchant is aggravated battery: (i) when the merchant is performing his or her duties, including, but not limited to, relaying directions for healthcare or safety from his or her supervisor or employer or relaying health or safety guidelines, recommendations, regulations, or rules from a federal, State, or local public health agency; and (ii) during a disaster declared by the Governor, or a state of emergency declared by the mayor of the municipality in which the merchant is located, due to a public health emergency and for a period of 6 months after such declaration. Effective immediately.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 0471, as amended by House Amendment 3, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness

 Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)

 Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Office of Management and Budget)
 Please be advised that the Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to Senate Bill 471, as amended by House Amendment 3 as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.
