(RAUSCHENBERGER-OBAMA) New Act 20 ILCS 415/8b.7-1 new 30 ILCS 505/9.01-1 new Creates the Welfare to Work Act which places qualified welfare recipients in State jobs or jobs contracted out by the State. Provides that State agencies shall provide the Department of Public Aid, or the Department of Human Services as its successor agency, a job announcement simultaneously with posting its positions or putting a position out for hire by contract, except for those positions subject to recall by laid-off employees, or those otherwise exempt. The Department shall review positions, make eligibility determinations, recruit and screen potential employees, and refer aid recipients to apply for positions listed in job announcements. Employers shall make all employment decisions based on merit, with not less than 5% of the hours worked on a State contract meeting certain specifications being worked by qualified aid recipients, with some exceptions. Employment terms and conditions shall be the same as for any other member of the employer's workforce doing the same or similar work. Provides for reports regarding hiring practices under this Act to be submitted to the General Assembly, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Public Aid, or the Department of Human Services as successor agency to the Department of Public Aid. Amends the Personnel Code and the Illinois Purchasing Act to make changes in conformance with this Act. Effective immediately.
