1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 816
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 816 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section | ||||||
5 | 24-6 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (105 ILCS 5/24-6)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 24-6. Sick leave. The school boards of all school | ||||||
8 | districts, including special charter
districts, but not | ||||||
9 | including school districts in municipalities of 500,000
or | ||||||
10 | more, shall grant their full-time teachers, and also shall | ||||||
11 | grant
such of their other employees as are eligible to | ||||||
12 | participate in the
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund under | ||||||
13 | the "600-Hour Standard"
established, or under such other | ||||||
14 | eligibility participation standard as may
from time to time be | ||||||
15 | established, by rules and regulations now or hereafter
| ||||||
16 | promulgated by the Board of that Fund under Section 7-198 of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Illinois
Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended, sick | ||||||
2 | leave
provisions not less in amount than 10 days at full pay in | ||||||
3 | each school year.
If any such teacher or employee does not use | ||||||
4 | the full amount of annual leave
thus allowed, the unused | ||||||
5 | amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum
available | ||||||
6 | leave of 180 days at full pay, including the leave of the | ||||||
7 | current
year. Sick leave shall be interpreted to mean personal | ||||||
8 | illness, quarantine
at home, or serious illness or death in | ||||||
9 | the immediate family or household , or
birth, adoption, or | ||||||
10 | placement for adoption .
The school board may require a | ||||||
11 | certificate from a physician licensed in Illinois to practice | ||||||
12 | medicine and surgery in all its branches, a chiropractic | ||||||
13 | physician licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987, a | ||||||
14 | licensed advanced practice registered nurse, a licensed | ||||||
15 | physician assistant, or, if the treatment
is by prayer or | ||||||
16 | spiritual means, a spiritual adviser or
practitioner of the | ||||||
17 | teacher's or employee's faith as a basis for pay during leave | ||||||
18 | after
an absence of 3 days for personal illness or 30 days for | ||||||
19 | birth or as the school board may deem necessary in
other cases. | ||||||
20 | If the school board does require a
certificate
as a basis for | ||||||
21 | pay during leave of
less than 3 days for personal illness, the | ||||||
22 | school board shall pay, from school funds, the
expenses | ||||||
23 | incurred by the teachers or other employees in obtaining the | ||||||
24 | certificate. For paid leave for adoption or placement for | ||||||
25 | adoption, the school board may require that the teacher or | ||||||
26 | other employee provide evidence that the formal adoption |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | process is underway, and such leave is limited to 30 days | ||||||
2 | unless a longer leave has been negotiated with the exclusive | ||||||
3 | bargaining representative.
| ||||||
4 | Sick leave shall also be interpreted to mean birth, | ||||||
5 | adoption, or placement for adoption. Teachers and other | ||||||
6 | employees to which this Section applies are entitled to use up | ||||||
7 | to 30 days of paid sick leave because of the birth of a child | ||||||
8 | that is not dependent on the need to recover from childbirth. | ||||||
9 | Paid sick leave because of the birth of a child may be used | ||||||
10 | absent medical certification for up to 30 working school days, | ||||||
11 | which days may be used at any time within the 12-month period | ||||||
12 | following the birth of the child. The use of up to 30 working | ||||||
13 | school days of paid sick leave because of the birth of a child | ||||||
14 | may not be diminished as a result of any intervening period of | ||||||
15 | nonworking days or school not being is session, such as for | ||||||
16 | summer, winter, or spring break or holidays, that may occur | ||||||
17 | during the use of the paid sick leave. For paid sick leave for | ||||||
18 | adoption or placement for adoption, the school board may | ||||||
19 | require that the teacher or other employee to which this | ||||||
20 | Section applies provide evidence that the formal adoption | ||||||
21 | process is underway, and such sick leave is limited to 30 days | ||||||
22 | unless a longer leave has been negotiated with the exclusive | ||||||
23 | bargaining representative. Paid sick leave for adoption or | ||||||
24 | placement for adoption need not be used consecutively once the | ||||||
25 | formal adoption process is underway, and such sick leave may | ||||||
26 | be used for reasons related to the formal adoption process |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prior to taking custody of the child, in addition to using such | ||||||
2 | sick leave upon taking custody of the child. | ||||||
3 | If, by reason of any change in the boundaries of school | ||||||
4 | districts, or by
reason of the creation of a new school | ||||||
5 | district, the employment of a
teacher is transferred to a new | ||||||
6 | or different board, the accumulated sick
leave of such teacher | ||||||
7 | is not thereby lost, but is transferred to such new
or | ||||||
8 | different district.
| ||||||
9 | For purposes of this Section, "immediate family" shall | ||||||
10 | include parents,
spouse, brothers, sisters, children, | ||||||
11 | grandparents, grandchildren,
parents-in-law, brothers-in-law, | ||||||
12 | sisters-in-law, and legal guardians.

15 | becoming law.".
