AN ACT concerning State government.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The Illinois Housing Development Act is amended by adding Section 7.24i as follows:

(20 ILCS 3805/7.24i new)

Sec. 7.24i. Loans to parents of children with disabilities or with mental illness.

(a) Subject to appropriations for that purpose, the Authority may make, purchase, or participate in mortgage loans to parents of children with disabilities or with mental illness to finance the purchase of residential real property.

(b) A loan under this Section shall be secured as determined by the Authority.

(c) A loan under this Section may be in a principal amount, bear interest at a rate, have other terms and conditions, and be repaid within a period as the Authority determines.

(d) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the jurisdiction of the Governor.
