Bill > SB0655

This bill makes a technical amendment to the Veterans' Employment Representative Act, which appears to involve a small linguistic change in the existing text regarding Veterans' Employment Representatives at the Illinois Department of Employment Security. Specifically, the bill seems to remove and replace the word "The" at the beginning of a paragraph describing the assignment of Veterans' Employment Representatives. While the change appears minimal, the underlying law continues to mandate that the Department of Employment Security assign at least one full-time Veterans' Employment Representative to each full-service office, with a focus on job counseling, training, and placement of veterans. The law also maintains a preference for hiring veterans who have served during times of hostilities, particularly those who were honorably discharged due to combat-related disabilities. The representative will be administratively responsible to the local office manager and have functional supervision responsibilities.
