13 | services issued by a nationally recognized medical society or | ||||||
14 | federal government agency. "; and
| ||||||
15 | on page 10, immediately below line 9, by inserting the | ||||||
16 | following: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | " Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | ||||||
2 | exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | ||||||
3 | the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | ||||||
4 | promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | ||||||
5 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | ||||||
6 | Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | ||||||
7 | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
8 | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General | ||||||
9 | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the | ||||||
10 | Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
11 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
12 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
13 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
14 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
15 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
16 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
17 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
18 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
19 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
20 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
21 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
23 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
24 | jurisdiction of the Governor. ".
