1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 5776
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5776 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Department of Agriculture Law of the Civil | ||||||
5 | Administrative
Code of Illinois is amended by adding Section | ||||||
6 | 205-26 as follows: | ||||||
7 | (20 ILCS 205/205-26 new) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 205-26. Fairs; premises ID numbers. The Department | ||||||
9 | shall not require a premises identification number or | ||||||
10 | electronic identification under the National Animal | ||||||
11 | Identification System to exhibit or enter livestock, poultry, | ||||||
12 | rabbits, horses, or any other animal at any fair or exhibition | ||||||
13 | in Illinois, unless required by federal law or regulation. The | ||||||
14 | Department shall develop a process for persons to withdraw from | ||||||
15 | the National Animal Identification System registration, and | ||||||
16 | that process shall provide for the removal of a person's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | information from the Department's database. The Department | ||||||
2 | shall also cooperate with the United States Department of | ||||||
3 | Agriculture to provide for people to withdraw from the federal | ||||||
4 | database. Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
5 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
6 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
7 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
8 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
9 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
10 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
11 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
12 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
13 | and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
14 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
15 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
16 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
17 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
18 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
19 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
20 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this Section, "rules" is | ||||||
21 | given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" | ||||||
23 | are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of | ||||||
24 | the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that | ||||||
25 | such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
26 | jurisdiction of the Governor.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect January | ||||||
2 | 1, 2009.".
