Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Township Code, the Park District Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the School Code, and the Public Community College Act. Provides that if a township, park district, municipality, school district, or community college has been issued a credit card, then, each month, the governing authority of the township, park district, municipality, school district, or community college shall vote to verify the validity of an itemized statement of all purchases made using the credit card in the preceding month. Provides that the itemized statement must include all purchases made using the credit card in the preceding month and may not be redacted. Provides that the vote shall solely be for the approval of the itemized statement of all purchases made using the credit card and shall not include any other expense approval. Provides that, if a township, park district, municipality, school district, or community college has a website maintained by a full-time staff, then the township, park district, municipality, school district, or community college shall publish each itemized statement on its website.

House Committee Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following change. Provides that the itemized statement of all purchases made using the credit card in the preceding month that the townships, park districts, municipalities, school districts, and community colleges must vote to verify may not be redacted in a manner inconsistent with the Freedom of Information Act (rather than may not be redacted). Removes provisions requiring townships, park districts, municipalities, school districts, and community colleges to post itemized statements of their credit card purchases on their websites.
