Senate Floor Amendment No. 2

	Adds reference to:
	430 ILCS 85/2-2	from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4052

430 ILCS 85/2-21 new

Changes the definition of the term "carnival worker" to provide that a carnival worker is not a volunteer. Provides that criminal background checks of carnival workers performed by the Illinois State Police shall be pursuant to the Illinois Uniform Conviction Information Act and that criminal background checks of volunteers, who manage, physically operate, or assist in the operation of an amusement ride or amusement attraction when it is open to the public, shall be left to the discretion of local law enforcement which has jurisdictional authority in the community in which the event is being held. Eliminates language providing an exemption for carnival workers who are foreign nationals.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Defines "volunteer" to mean a person who operates or assists in the operation of an amusement ride or amusement attraction for an owner or operator without pay or lodging, but is not an individual otherwise employed by the same owner or operator to perform the same type of service as those for which the individual proposes to volunteer.
