Provides for: venue; appeals; records, property, and personnel of the Commission; duties of the Department of Labor as a substituting party and successor agency; abolition of the Commission; temporary orders; funds; insurance; offsets; and other matters. Amends the Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code, the State Finance Act, the Illinois Insurance Code, and the Court of Claims Act to make various changes concerning workplace injuries and occupational diseases.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority)
 This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

 Correctional Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections)
 This legislation has no fiscal or population impact on the Department of Corrections.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 SB 1933 (H-AM 1) does not create a State mandate.

 Home Rule Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 SB 1933 (H-AM 1) does not pre-empt home rule authority.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 1933 (H-AM 1) would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
 This Bill's fiscal impact cannot be determined at this time and will be dependent upon the number of claims that would be received if this legislation becomes law.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 Although it is not possible to determine costs with any exactness, passage of SB 1933 (H-AM 1) will have a substantial fiscal impact on the Supreme Court's budget. Based upon information contained in the Annual Report of the Illinois' Workers' Compensation Commission, in Fiscal Year 2009, 55,497 new cases were filed with the Commission. Assuming 55,000 cases as representative of the annual average, and depending on the complexity of the cases filed, the jurisdictional expansion in the circuit courts will result in an increase in judicial caseloads and, correspondingly, the number of judges and court staff necessary to expeditiously dispose of these matters. In Fiscal Year 2012, the annual salary of a circuit court judge will be $180,802.

 Judicial Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)

 Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Transportation)
 No land conveyances are included in this bill, therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.

 Pension Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 1933 (H-AM 1) will have no fiscal impact on any pension funds or retirement systems in Illinois.
