AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5661 on page 3, by replacing lines 10 through 16 with the following:

"Section 25. Posting of Act. Every Director subject to any provision of this Act shall keep a summary of this Act approved by the Department posted in a conspicuous and accessible place in or about the premises wherever any person subject to this Act is employed."; and

on page 4, by replacing lines 2 through 4 with the following: "to make that employee whole."; and

on page 4, by inserting after line 12 the following:

"Section 40. No authority to make or promulgate rules. Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this Act. If, however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or enforce the provisions of this Act, the Governor may suggest rules to the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this Act shall be interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise explicitly given. For the purposes of this Act, "rules" is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the jurisdiction of the Governor.".
