AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4006

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4006, AS AMENDED, by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Burn Victims Relief Act, which may be referred to as the George Bailey Memorial Law.

Section 5. The George Bailey Memorial Program.

(a) The George Bailey Memorial Program is created under the Department of Insurance, under which any burn victim who, through no fault of his or her own, has become disabled and has been told by 2 independent physicians that his or her prognosis is that he or she has less than 18 months left to live shall immediately receive the 5 months' pay that he or she would have received for Social Security had there not been a mandatory 5-month waiting period. The person shall receive the same amount that he or she would receive under the Social Security disability insurance program, minus $25. This amount shall be paid in equal payments for 5 months, ending after the end of the 5-month period or upon the applicant's death.

As used in this Section, "through no fault of his or her own" means that the individual is not the proximate cause of his or her injury, through either gross negligence or by use of a substance that is well known to possibly cause grave bodily injury by a short amount of use or exposure.

(b) Any moneys that a person or his or her estate, trust, or heirs receive from a settlement for the injury that is the proximate cause of the person's disability under this Act or moneys received from Social Security disability benefits shall be used to repay the George Bailey Memorial Fund, except as provided under subsection (g) of this Section. The moneys shall be paid directly to the Department of Insurance for deposit in the Fund after the Department deducts a 20% administrative fee.

(c) Any person meeting the requirements of subsection (a) and whose application is approved shall be eligible to participate in the Program.

(d) Any active member of the United States Armed Forces shall be eligible if he or she was a resident of Illinois for at least 12 months before enlisting and he or she planned to return to Illinois.

(e) Any legal resident of Illinois who, at the time of the injury, was a resident of Illinois who would qualify under subsection (a) shall not be disqualified for residency requirements, provided that he or she was a legal resident at the time of the injury.

(f) Any legal resident of Illinois is eligible for participation in the Program and shall not be disqualified if the injury occurs outside of the State.

(g) The State shall have lien rights against all settlements or moneys otherwise collected due to the injury under this Act, but if the amount collected is less than the amount owed to the State through the Program, the State may not attach anything beyond the moneys given under the Program.

Section 10. Payments to the George Bailey Memorial Fund.

The George Bailey Memorial Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury. The George Bailey Memorial Fund shall be funded pursuant to subsection (p) of Section 27.6 of the Clerks of Courts Act. If the funds available are not adequate to meet the requirements of this Act, the Department of Insurance shall inform the State Treasurer and State Comptroller of the amount necessary, and the State Comptroller shall transfer the necessary funds from the Fire Prevention Fund into the George Bailey Memorial Fund. These funds shall be transferred temporarily and repaid in full, without the deduction of the 20% administrative fee authorized in subsection (b) of Section 5, upon receipt of the George Bailey Memorial fund from the person or his or her estate, trust, or heirs of any moneys from a settlement for the injury that is the proximate cause of the person's disability under this Act or moneys received from Social Security disability benefits. Moneys in the George Bailey Memorial Fund may only be used for the purposes set forth in this Act.

Section 15. Rulemaking. The Department of Insurance may adopt rules to implement the provisions of this Act. In order to provide for the expeditious and timely implementation of the provisions of this Act, emergency rules to implement any provision of this Act may be adopted by the Department in accordance with subsection (t) of Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.

Section 50. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:

(5 ILCS 100/5-45) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45)

Sec. 5-45. Emergency rulemaking.

(a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public interest, safety, or welfare.

(b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required by Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70. The notice shall include the text of the emergency rule and shall be published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders or other court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency may be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable constitutional or statutory provisions, an emergency rule becomes effective immediately upon filing under Section 5-65 or at a stated date less than 10 days thereafter. The agency's finding and a statement of the specific reasons for the finding shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take reasonable and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the persons who may be affected by them.

(c) An emergency rule may be effective for a period of not longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an identical rule under Section 5-40 is not precluded. No emergency rule may be adopted more than once in any 24 month period, except that this limitation on the number of emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does not apply to (i) emergency rules that make additions to and deletions from the Drug Manual under Section 5-5.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code or the generic drug formulary under Section 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, (ii) emergency rules adopted by the Pollution Control Board before July 1, 1997 to implement portions of the Livestock Management Facilities Act, (iii) emergency rules adopted by the Illinois Department of Public Health under subsections (a) through (i) of Section 2 of the Department of Public Health Act when necessary to protect the public's health, (iv) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (n) of this Section, (v) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (o) of this Section, or (vi) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (c-5) of this Section. Two or more emergency rules having substantially the same purpose and effect shall be deemed to be a single rule for purposes of this Section.

(c-5) To facilitate the maintenance of the program of group health benefits provided to annuitants, survivors, and retired employees under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, rules to alter the contributions to be paid by the State, annuitants, survivors, retired employees, or any combination of those entities, for that program of group health benefits, shall be adopted as emergency rules.
