Sec. 22. Amistad Commission.

(a) Purpose. The General Assembly finds and declares that all people should know of and remember the human carnage and dehumanizing atrocities committed during the period of the African slave trade and slavery in America and of the vestiges of slavery in this country; and it is in fact vital to educate our citizens on these events, the legacy of slavery, the sad history of racism in this country, and the principles of human rights and dignity in a civilized society.

It is the policy of the State of Illinois that the history of the African slave trade, slavery in America, the depth of their impact in our society, and the triumphs of African-Americans and their significant contributions to the development of this country is the proper concern of all people, particularly students enrolled in the schools of the State of Illinois.

It is therefore desirable to create a Commission that, as an organized body and on a continuous basis, will survey, design, encourage, and promote the implementation of education and awareness programs in Illinois that are concerned with the African slave trade, slavery in America, the vestiges of slavery in this country, and the contributions of African-Americans in building our country; to develop workshops, institutes, seminars, and other teacher training activities designed to educate teachers on this subject matter; and that will be responsible for the coordination of events on a regular basis, throughout the State, that provide appropriate memorialization of the events concerning the enslavement of Africans and their descendants in America and their struggle for freedom, liberty, and equality.

(b) Amistad Commission. The Amistad Commission is created within the Department Agency. The Commission is named to honor the group of enslaved Africans transported in 1839 on a vessel named the Amistad who overthrew their captors and created an international incident that was eventually argued before the Supreme Court and that shed a growing light on the evils of the slave trade and galvanized a growing abolitionist movement towards demanding the end of slavery in the United States.

(c) Membership. The Commission shall consist of 15 members, including 3 ex officio members: the State Superintendent of Education or his or her designee, the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity or his or her designee, and the Director of Historic Sites and Preservation or his or her designee; and 12 public members. Public members shall be appointed as follows:

(i) 2 members appointed by the President of the Senate and one member appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate;

(ii) 2 members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one member appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives; and

(iii) 6 members, no more than 4 of whom shall be of the same political party, appointed by the Governor.

The public members shall be residents of this State, chosen with due regard to broad geographic representation and ethnic diversity, who have served actively in organizations that educate the public on the history of the African slave trade, the contributions of African-Americans to our society, and civil rights issues.

Each public member of the Commission shall serve for a term of 3 years, except that of the initial members so appointed: one member appointed by the President of the Senate, one member appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and 2 members appointed by the Governor shall serve for terms of one year; the member appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate, one member appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and 2 members appointed by the Governor shall serve for terms of 2 years; and one member appointed by the President of the Senate, the member appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and 2 members appointed by the Governor shall serve for terms of 3 years. Public members shall be eligible for reappointment. They shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualified, and the term of the successor of any incumbent shall be calculated from the expiration of the term of that incumbent. A vacancy occurring other than by expiration of term shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment, but for the unexpired term only.

(d) Election of chairperson; meetings. At its first meeting and annually thereafter, the Commission shall elect from among its members a chairperson and other officers it considers necessary or appropriate. After its first meeting, the Commission shall meet at least quarterly, or more frequently at the call of the chairperson or if requested by 9 or more members.

(e) Quorum. A majority of the members of the Commission constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Commission. A majority of the members present and serving is required for official action of the Commission.

(h) Compensation. The members of the Commission shall serve without compensation, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for all necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties as members of the Commission from funds appropriated for that purpose. Reimbursement for travel, meals, and lodging shall be in accordance with the rules of the Governor's Travel Control Board.

(a) As early in the planning process as may be practicable and prior to the approval of the final design or plan of any undertaking by a State agency, or prior to the funding of any undertaking by a State agency, or prior to an action of approval or entitlement of any private undertaking by a State agency, written notice of the project shall be given to the Director either by the State agency or the recipients of its funds, permits or licenses.

For the purposes of identification and evaluation of historic resources, the Director may require archaeological and historic investigations. Responsibility for notice and documentation may be delegated by the State agency to a local or private designee.

(b) Within 30 days after receipt of complete and correct documentation of a proposed undertaking, the Director shall review and comment to the agency on the likelihood that the undertaking will have an adverse effect on a historic resource. In the case of a private undertaking, the Director shall, not later than 30 days following the receipt of an application with complete documentation of the undertaking, either approve that application allowing the undertaking to proceed or tender to the applicant a written statement setting forth the reasons for the requirement of an archaeological investigation. If there is no action within 30 days after the filing of the application with the complete documentation of the undertaking, the applicant may deem the application approved and may proceed with the undertaking. Thereafter, all requirements for archaeological investigations are waived under this Act.

(c) If the Director finds that an undertaking will adversely affect an historic resource or is inconsistent with agency policies, the State agency shall consult with the Director and shall discuss alternatives to the proposed undertaking which could eliminate, minimize, or mitigate its adverse effect.

Grantees, permittees, licensees, or other parties in interest and representatives of national, State, and local units of government and public and private organizations may participate in the consultation process. The process may involve on-site inspections and public informational meetings pursuant to regulations issued by the Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Agency.

(d) The State agency and the Director may agree that there is a feasible and prudent alternative which eliminates, minimizes, or mitigates the adverse effect of the undertaking. Upon such agreement, or if the State agency and the Director agree that there are no feasible and prudent alternatives which eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect, the Director shall prepare a Memorandum of Agreement describing the alternatives or stating the finding. The State agency may proceed with the undertaking once a Memorandum of Agreement has been signed by both the State agency and the Director.

(e) After the consultation process, the Director and the State agency may fail to agree on the existence of a feasible and prudent alternative which would eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect of the undertaking on the historic resource. If no agreement is reached, the agency shall call a public meeting in the county where the undertaking is proposed within 60 days. If, within 14 days following conclusion of the public meeting, the State agency and the Director fail to agree on a feasible and prudent alternative, the proposed undertaking, with supporting documentation, shall be submitted to the Historic Preservation Mediation Committee. The document shall be sufficient to identify each alternative considered by the Agency and the Director during the consultation process and the reason for its rejection.

(f) The Mediation Committee shall consist of the Director and 5 persons appointed by the Director for terms of 3 years each, each of whom shall be no lower in rank than a division chief and each of whom shall represent a different State agency.

Within 30 days after submission of the proposed undertaking, the Committee shall meet with the Director and the submitting agency to review each alternative considered by the State agency and the Director and to evaluate the existence of a feasible and prudent alternative. In the event that the Director and the submitting agency continue to disagree, the Committee shall provide a statement of findings or comments setting forth an alternative to the proposed undertaking or stating the finding that there is no feasible or prudent alternative. The State agency shall consider the written comments of the Committee and shall respond in writing to the Committee before proceeding with the undertaking.

(g) When an undertaking is being reviewed pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the procedures of this law shall not apply and any review or comment by the Director on such undertaking shall be within the framework or procedures of the federal law. This subsection shall not prevent the Department of Natural Resources Illinois Historic Preservation Agency from entering into an agreement with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act to substitute this Act and its procedures for procedures set forth in Council regulations found in 36 C.F.R. Part 800.7. A State undertaking that is necessary to prevent an immediate and imminent threat to life or property shall be exempt from the requirements of this Act. Where possible, the Director shall be consulted in the determination of the exemption. In all cases, the agency shall provide the Director with a statement of the reasons for the exemption and shall have an opportunity to comment on the exemption. The statement and the comments of the Director shall be included in the annual report of the Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Agency as a guide to future actions.
