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