SPRINGFIELD, IL – Governor Bruce Rauner today announced that April 22, 2017, will be the first annual State Day of Service in the state of Illinois.
Throughout the past few years, many volunteer groups have expressed an interest in helping out at various state agencies. However, due to the previous AFSCME contract, severe restrictions were placed on the use of volunteers. The recent decision by the Illinois Labor Relations Board will now allow the state greater flexibility in using volunteers.
