HB3114 Summary

• Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act to modify the definition of "supervisor" in police units by establishing that shift commanders, regardless of sworn rank, are supervisors if responsible for multiple officers, units, teams, or an entire shift.

• Allows employers in police departments to designate a single exempt shift commander position on each shift as a supervisor when no sworn rank exists between the chief/sheriff and the highest-ranked sworn shift commander.

• Specifies that all sworn or exempt ranks above a designated exempt shift commander are classified as supervisors in police employment.

• Changes the supervisory threshold from "preponderance" to "majority" of employment time spent exercising supervisory authority for non-police supervisors.

• Clarifies that supervisor status determinations must be based on actual job duties rather than written job descriptions alone, and that rank shall not be determinative in police employment.
