Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(70 ILCS 1505/14) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.14)

Sec. 14. Civil service.

The Park System Civil Service Act shall apply to the Chicago Park District, and
upon the coming into effect of this Act there shall be appointed but one
Director of Human Resources and but one
civil service board for such
district.

Every officer and employee in the classified civil service at the time
this Act takes effect shall be assigned to a position having, so far as
possible, duties equivalent to his former office or employment, and such
officers and employees shall have the same standing, grade, and privilege
which they respectively had in the districts from which they were
transferred, subject, however, to existing and future civil service laws.
This Section shall not be construed to require the retention of more
officers and employees than are necessary to the proper performance of the
functions of the Chicago Park District and the rules of the civil service
board made in pursuance of the civil service law shall control in the
making of layoffs and reinstatements of such officers and employees as are
not necessary to be retained. This Act shall in no way be construed to
affect the operation of Article 5 or Article 12 of the Illinois Pension
Code nor to affect the
rights of employees to pensions or annuities nor any taxes authorized to be
levied therefor. In the case of employees and policemen of superseded park
districts not having annuity benefit funds retained as employees or
policemen of the Chicago Park District such employees and policemen shall
have the right to enter as new employees and policemen.
