2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Public Building Commission Act is amended by

6    (50 ILCS 20/23.5 new)

820.10, 20.15, 20.20, and 20.25 of this Act; validation.
9    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
10        (1) When Public Act 95-595 (effective June 1, 2008)
11    amended the Public Building Commission Act, it provided
12    repeal dates for Sections 2.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10,
13    20.15, 20.20, and 20.25 of this Act of 5 years after the
14    effective date of Public Act 95-595 (June 1, 2013).
15        (2) Senate Bill 2233 of the 98th General Assembly
16    contained provisions that would have changed the repeal
17    dates of Sections 2.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15,
18    20.20, and 20.25 of this Act from 5 years after the
19    effective date of Public Act 95-595 to June 1, 2018. Senate
20    Bill 2233 passed both houses on May 31, 2013. Senate Bill
21    2233 provided that it took effect upon becoming law. Senate

1    Senate Bill 2233 became Public Act 98-299.
2        (3) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules on
3    the repeal of statutes and the construction of multiple
4    amendments, but Section 1 of that Act also states that
5    these rules will not be observed when the result would be
6    "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General
7    Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute".
8        (4) The actions of the General Assembly clearly
9    manifest the intention of the General Assembly to extend
10    the repeal of Sections 2.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15,
11    20.20, and 20.25 of this Act and have those Sections
12    continue in effect until June 1, 2018.
13        (5) Sections 2.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15,
14    20.20, and 20.25 of this Act were originally enacted to
15    protect, promote, and preserve the general welfare. Any
16    construction of this Act that results in the repeal of
17    those Sections on June 1, 2013 would be inconsistent with
18    the manifest intent of the General Assembly and repugnant
19    to the context of this Act.
20    (b) It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the
21General Assembly, in enacting Public Act 98-299, that Sections
222.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15, 20.20, and 20.25 of this
23Act be changed to make June 1, 2018 the repeal date of Sections
242.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15, 20.20, and 20.25 of this
25Act, and that Sections 2.5, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.10, 20.15,
