1 | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 133
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The City of Springfield has been the capital of | ||||||
3 | Illinois since 1839, when then-Governor Thomas Carlin issued a | ||||||
4 | proclamation ordering the relocation of all State records from | ||||||
5 | Vandalia to Springfield; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, The City of Springfield is home to the main | ||||||
7 | offices of the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and | ||||||
8 | the Judicial Branch of Illinois State government; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, With a large reduction in the State workforce over | ||||||
10 | the last several years, Springfield has suffered significant | ||||||
11 | job losses; and
| ||||||
12 | WHEREAS, As home to the majority of State government | ||||||
13 | activity, it is essential that the capital of Illinois is also | ||||||
14 | home to as many State employees as possible in order to ensure | ||||||
15 | that Illinois runs in an efficient and productive manner; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, Advances in technology and increased connectivity | ||||||
17 | throughout the State have made it easier than ever for the | ||||||
18 | State workforce to be centrally located in Springfield; | ||||||
19 | therefore, be it
| ||||||
20 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE | ||||||
2 | SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that we urge each State agency under | ||||||
3 | the direction of the Office of the Governor to prepare an | ||||||
4 | agency or office workforce report; and be it further
| ||||||
5 | RESOLVED, That the workforce reports should include the | ||||||
6 | following information for all employees under the Personnel | ||||||
7 | Code: | ||||||
8 | (1) the number of employees in each county in this | ||||||
9 | State; | ||||||
10 | (2) the division and facility, if applicable, that each | ||||||
11 | of these employees is stationed; | ||||||
12 | (3) the position number, general working title, and a | ||||||
13 | brief description of job duties of each of these employees; | ||||||
14 | and | ||||||
15 | (4) the justification as to why these positions, | ||||||
16 | specifically upper and middle management positions, could | ||||||
17 | not be located in Springfield; and be it further
| ||||||
18 | RESOLVED, That the workforce reports would not need to | ||||||
19 | include detailed information relating to direct service | ||||||
20 | workers, but should list the number of these positions in each | ||||||
21 | title by county, division, and facility; and be it further
| ||||||
22 | RESOLVED, That moving forward, as the State of Illinois | ||||||
23 | begins to fill vacant positions, we urge all State agencies to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consider filling any vacant position in Springfield first, as | ||||||
2 | Springfield is the home of State government; and be it further
| ||||||
3 | RESOLVED, That we urge all State agencies to have their | ||||||
4 | workforce reports completed and submitted to the Office of the | ||||||
