| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5932, AS AMENDED, by | ||||||
| 3 | replacing everything after the enacting clause with the | ||||||
| 4 | following:
| ||||||
| 5 | "Section 5. The Illinois Power Agency Act is amended by | ||||||
| 6 | adding Section 1-128 as follows: | ||||||
| 7 | (20 ILCS 3855/1-128 new) | ||||||
| 8 | Sec. 1-128. Renewable energy program. The Agency shall, in | ||||||
| 9 | conjunction with the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
| 10 | Opportunity, develop a program to promote renewable energy and | ||||||
| 11 | net-metering options in the State. | ||||||
| 12 | Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
| 13 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
| 14 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
| 15 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
| 16 | Section. If, however, the Governor believes that rules are | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | necessary to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
| 2 | Section, the Governor may suggest rules to the General Assembly | ||||||
| 3 | by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of | ||||||
| 4 | the Senate and by requesting that the General Assembly | ||||||
| 5 | authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those suggested rules | ||||||
| 6 | into law, or take any other appropriate action in the General | ||||||
| 7 | Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this Section shall | ||||||
| 8 | be interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
| 9 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
| 10 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this paragraph, "rules" | ||||||
| 11 | is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois | ||||||
| 12 | Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" | ||||||
| 13 | are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of | ||||||
| 14 | the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that | ||||||
| 15 | such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
| 16 | jurisdiction of the Governor.".
