SB3188 Summary

• Removes special impasse resolution procedures for educational employers whose territorial boundaries match cities with populations exceeding 500,000 (targets Chicago Public Schools).

• Repeals Section 4.5 of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act concerning specific subjects of collective bargaining for that educational employer.

• Establishes that disputes over matters of inherent managerial policy (budget, organizational structure, employee selection) become permissive rather than mandatory bargaining subjects for Chicago Public Schools.

• Implements fact-finding and mediation procedures for public school district impasses under Article 34 of the School Code, with fact-finder recommendations becoming binding unless rejected within 15 days.

• Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
