Deletes everything after the enacting clause and reinserts similar provisions amending the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986 to provide that voting members or their proxies, belonging to a not-for-profit corporation, may conduct elections for directors, officers, or representatives by mail, email, or other electronic means if the corporation's bylaws so provide (instead of conducting elections for directors and officers exclusively by first-class mail only). Contains the following additional changes: Amends the Business Brokers Act of 1995. Exempts any franchise seller as defined in the Federal Trade Commission rule entitled Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising, as it may be amended, from the registration requirements and other duties imposed under the Act (rather than exempting persons registered under the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987 from the Act's requirements as to (1) offers and sales in connection with franchising activities or (2) assisting their franchisees in the offer or sale of a franchise). Amends the Business Opportunity Sales Law of 1995. Provides that a seller of a business opportunity is exempt from registering certain disclosure documents if the seller delivers a disclosure document prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987 (rather than the Franchise Offering Circular or a disclosure document as required by the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987) to each purchaser 14 days prior to (rather than delivery by the earlier of the first personal meeting, or 10 business days) the purchaser's execution of specified documents. Expands the list of disclosure documents a seller can file for registration purposes to include disclosure documents prepared pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission rule entitled Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Business Opportunities, and the Business Opportunity Disclosure Document (rather than the Franchise Offering Circular). Makes other changes. Amends the Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987. Makes changes to the defined terms "franchise", "subfranchisor", and "subfranchisor". Exempts certain franchisees and interest partners in a franchise from specific registration requirements. Adds language providing that the Attorney General may accept an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance statement from persons alleged to be in violation of the Franchise Disclosure Act of 1987 and that evidence of a violation of the statement shall be prima facia evidence of a violation of the Act. Establishes an initial $500 fee for filing a large franchisor exemption and a $100 renewal fee. Repeals the provision prohibiting a franchise broker from selling a franchise that requires registration under the Act unless the franchise broker submitted an application for registration and a consent to service of process. Makes other changes. Effective October 1, 2009.
