HB3058 Summary

• Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act Section 14 to expand the definition of "units of security employees of a public employer" to include county correction or detention officers, probation officers, and telecommunicators who are critical to public safety.

• These newly included employee units become subject to the same arbitration and dispute resolution procedures that currently apply to other security employees, peace officers, and firefighters under the Act.

• Establishes that these security employee units must follow mandatory mediation procedures (commencing 30 days before contract expiration) and binding arbitration processes if disputes are not resolved.

• Ensures county correction officers, detention officers, probation officers, and critical public safety telecommunicators receive comparable labor dispute resolution protections and bargaining rights as other public safety personnel.
