Bill > HB2834

This bill amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act by adding a new requirement for the Department of Human Services (DHS) regarding overtime scheduling for employees who are also students. Specifically, the bill mandates that before requiring employees to work mandatory overtime hours, DHS facilities must take into account the class schedules and academic commitments of employees who are simultaneously pursuing their education. This provision aims to provide some flexibility and consideration for employees who are balancing work responsibilities with their ongoing educational pursuits. The bill adds this requirement as a new subsection (f) to Section 4 of the existing law, which already governs various administrative and supervisory aspects of mental health and developmental disability facilities operated by the state of Illinois. By including this provision, the legislation seeks to support employees in their professional development and educational goals while maintaining the operational needs of state-run healthcare facilities.
