Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB3339

Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act. Requires public safety arbitration panels to base their findings, opinions, and orders upon, among other things, the financial ability of the unit of government to meet the costs "directly related to the subject of the arbitration". Authorizes a circuit court to overturn a public safety arbitration panel's order if the panel was inconsistent in its decision-making when producing the order. Provides that if a collective bargaining unit wants to initiate an arbitration procedure and the elected representatives of that unit do not request arbitration on behalf of the unit, then the members of that unit may petition the Illinois Labor Relations Board for review. Provides that if the Board determines that the petition is a qualified petition, then it shall notify the employer and the elected representatives of the collective bargaining unit that it recommends that the petitioned issue be submitted to arbitration. Makes it a Class B misdemeanor for the elected representative of a collective bargaining unit to intentionally fail to submit a qualified petition to arbitration. Defines "qualified petition". Effective immediately.
