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 |

| 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
