1 of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If,
2 however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to
3 implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of
4 the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to
5 the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House
6 and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
7 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
8 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
9 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
10 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
11 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
12 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
13 explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of
14 the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning
15 contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative
16 Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the
17 meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois
18 Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such
19 definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the
20 jurisdiction of the Governor."; and
 
21 by deleting Section 15.
