Governor JB Pritzker has signed SB 3531, a bill that will allow the administration to attract top talent to state government.

SB 3531 allows the administration to offer salaries that are 15 percent higher to directors and assistant directors at key agencies, so that the state can attract the talent necessary to put Illinois back on track. It also provides a mechanism to keep compensation competitive, with the assistance and consent of the legislature.

The bill will not require a new appropriation and takes effect immediately.
