Amends the Coal Mining Act. Provides that, of the 4 officers appointed by the Governor to the Miners' Examining Board, 2 must be from a labor organization recognized under the National Labor Relations Act. Removes the requirement that a member of the Miners' Examining Board must have been engaged in coal mining in the State continuously for 12 months preceding his appointment. Amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that members of the State Mining Board appointed from the employing class must hold a certificate of competency as an Illinois mine examiner or Illinois mine manager rather than as a mine examiner or mine manager.
