Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Illinois Family and Medical Leave Act. Contains provisions similar to those in the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, except that it applies to a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, or mother-in-law who has a serious health condition, and some of the provisions of the federal law pertaining to federal employees and federal matters have been deleted or changed. Effective 6 months after becoming law.

 Fiscal Note (Dept. of Labor)
 The fiscal impact is as follows: Personal Services (1 Supervisor, 4 Inspectors, 1 Office Support) = $330,000; Fringe = $63,195; Contractual Services (costs for training, postage and facilities charges) = $57,000; Travel = $12,000; Commodities = $3,000; Printing (Outreach materials to ensure employers and employees understand the new law) = $20,000; Equipment = $10,000; Electronic Data Processing = $3,000; Telecommunications = $3,300; Total = $501,495. Total fiscal impact includes $25,000 in one time costs to implement. Based on the number of calls currently received by the Department of Labor regarding FMLA, the Department assumes that it will receive a large number of complaints.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the operation of the Act is subject to annual appropriations to the Department of Labor for costs associated with administering the Act. Changes the effective date to one year after becoming law.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Includes, in the definition of "health care provider", a physician licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987.
