SB 2332 Illinois Senate · 98th Regular Session

DIVERSITY IN ENGINEERING

Summary
Amends the Department of Transportation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Expands the list of targeted group member classes for the Diversity in Engineering scholarship program to include national origin, ancestry, age, and disability, and modifies the definition so that classes are included as long as the percent employed by the Department is less than the percent employed statewide according to labor statistics and not a specific plan adopted by the Department. Removes the eligibility requirement that applicants be members of a targeted group, and removes the requirement that applicants be full-time students. Directs the Department to establish a process for selecting eligible students that considers obtaining a critical mass of students in the program to remedy the underutilization of targeted group members. Provides that the Department may (rather than shall) adopt rules to implement and administer the scholarship program. Effective immediately.
