| (20 ILCS 405/405-216 new)
| 8 |
| Sec. 405-216. Green cleaning policy. To require every | 9 |
| State-owned building to establish a green cleaning policy | 10 |
| whereby the building purchases and uses only | 11 |
| environmentally-sensitive cleaning products, in compliance | 12 |
| with the guidelines and specifications established by the | 13 |
| Illinois Green Government Coordinating Council pursuant to | 14 |
| Section 15 of the Green Cleaning Schools Act. The Department | 15 |
| shall allow a State-owned building to deplete its existing | 16 |
| cleaning and maintenance supply stocks and implement the new | 17 |
| requirements in the procurement cycle for the following year | 18 |
| and shall exempt a State-owned building from the green cleaning | 19 |
| policy requirement if adhering to the requirement would not be | 20 |
| economically feasible for the building. | 21 |

| 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.

| Agency estimates that human exposure to indoor air pollutants | 8 |
| can be 2 to 5 times and up to 100 times higher than outdoor | 9 |
| levels. Children, workers, teachers, janitors, and other staff | 10 |
| members spend a significant amount of time inside school and | 11 |
| other institutional buildings and are continuously exposed to | 12 |
| chemicals from cleaners, waxes, deodorizers, and other | 13 |
