AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1040

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1040 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Chief Information Officer Act.

Section 5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, unless the context otherwise requires:

"Grant funds" means any public funds dispensed by a grantor agency to any person or entity for obligation, expenditure, or use by that person or entity for a specific purpose or purposes. Funds disbursed by the State Comptroller pursuant to an appropriation made by the General Assembly to a named entity or person are not grant funds for purposes of this Act. Funds disbursed in accordance with a fee for service purchase of care contract are not grant funds for purposes of this Act.

Neither the method by which funds are dispensed whether by contract, agreement, grant subsidy, letter of credit, or any other method nor the purpose for which the funds are used can change the character of funds which otherwise would be considered grant funds as defined in this Section.

"Grantee" means the person or entity which may use grant funds.

"Grantor agency" means a State agency that dispenses grant funds.

"State agency" has the meaning ascribed to the term "agency" in Section 3.1 of the Executive Reorganization Implementation Act.

Section 10. Chief Information Officer.

(a) The Chief Information Officer of the State, as designated by the Governor, shall coordinate with each State agency to develop, with any existing or newly available resources and technology, appropriate systems to accurately report data containing financial information. These systems shall include a module that is specific to the management and administration of grant funds.

(b) Each grantor agency that is authorized to award grant funds to an entity other than the State of Illinois shall coordinate with the Chief Information Officer of the State to periodically provide for publication, at data.illinois.gov or any other publicly accessible website designated by the Chief Information Officer, of data sets containing information regarding awards of grant funds that the grantor agency has made during the previous fiscal year. The data sets shall include, at a minimum, the following:

(1) the name of the grantor agency;

(2) the name of the grantee;

(3) a short description of the purpose of the award of grant funds;

(4) the amount of each award of grant funds;

(5) the date of each award of grant funds; and

(6) the duration of each award of grant funds.

In addition, each grantor agency shall make best efforts, with available resources and technology, to make available in the data sets any other data that is relevant to its award of grant funds.

(c) In addition, the website shall contain a database listing the following information for each current participant of the General Assembly Retirement System, each current member of the State Employees' Retirement System, and each annuitant under either of those systems:

(1) in the case of members and participants, the total amount of employer contributions made to the General Assembly Retirement System or the State Employees' Retirement System on behalf of that member or participant during the current State fiscal year, including employee contributions that are picked up by the employer;

(2) in the case of members and participants, the total amount of employer contributions made to the General Assembly Retirement System or the State Employees' Retirement System on behalf of that member or participant during all State fiscal years, including employee contributions that are picked up by the employer; and

(3) in the case of annuitants, the total amount paid to the annuitant as an annuity under the General Assembly Retirement System or the State Employees' Retirement System during the current State fiscal year.

(d) Data not subject to the requirements of this Section include, but are not limited to, data to which a State agency may deny access pursuant to any provision of a federal, State, or local law, rule, or regulation, as well as data that contain a significant amount of data to which a State agency may deny access pursuant to any provision of a federal, State, or local law, rule, or regulation where redacting that data in order to publish the data would impose an undue financial or administrative burden.".
