| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Higher Education Student Assistance Act is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
| 6 | | (110 ILCS 947/15)
| 7 | | Sec. 15. Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
| 8 | | (a) There is established the
the Illinois Student | 9 | | Assistance Commission,
consisting of 10 persons to be appointed | 10 | | by the Governor with the
advice and
consent of the Senate. The | 11 | | membership of the Commission shall consist of one
| 12 | | representative of the institutions of higher learning
operated | 13 | | by the State; one representative of the private institutions of
| 14 | | higher learning located in the State; one representative of the | 15 | | public
community colleges located in the State; one | 16 | | representative of the public
high schools located in the State; | 17 | | 5 citizens of the State chosen for
their knowledge of and | 18 | | interest in higher education, but not employed
by, | 19 | | professionally affiliated with, or members of the governing | 20 | | boards
of any institution of higher learning located in the | 21 | | State, and one
student member selected from nominations | 22 | | submitted to the Governor by
multi-campus student | 23 | | organizations, including but not limited to, the recognized |
| | | SB0808 | - 2 - | LRB100 09421 NHT 19584 b |
|
| 1 | | advisory committee of students of the Illinois Community | 2 | | College Board, the
recognized advisory committee of students of | 3 | | the Board of Higher Education, and
the recognized advisory | 4 | | committee of students of the Federation of Independent
Illinois | 5 | | Colleges and Universities. The Governor shall designate one | 6 | | member,
other than the student member, as chairman. Each member | 7 | | of the Commission,
including the student member, shall serve | 8 | | without compensation, but shall be
reimbursed for expenses | 9 | | necessarily incurred in performing his or her duties
under this | 10 | | Act. Subject to a requirement that Commission members in office
| 11 | | on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995 may serve | 12 | | the full term to
which they were appointed, the appointment of | 13 | | Commission members to terms that
commence on or after that | 14 | | effective date shall be made in a manner that gives
effect at | 15 | | the earliest possible time to the change that is required by | 16 | | this
amendatory Act in the representative
composition of the | 17 | | Commission's membership. | 18 | | (b) The term of office of each member, other than the | 19 | | student
member, is 6 years from July 1 of the year of | 20 | | appointment, and until his
successor is appointed and | 21 | | qualified. If a member's tenure of office,
other than that of | 22 | | the student member, is terminated for any reason
before his or | 23 | | her term has expired, the Governor shall fill the vacancy by | 24 | | the
appointment of a person who has the same representative | 25 | | status as the
person whose term has been so terminated, and the | 26 | | new appointee shall
hold office only for the remainder of that |
| | | SB0808 | - 3 - | LRB100 09421 NHT 19584 b |
|
| 1 | | term and until a successor
is appointed and qualified.
The term | 2 | | of the student member shall be for 2 years from July 1 of each
| 3 | | odd-numbered year. If the tenure of the student member is | 4 | | terminated for any
reason, the vacancy shall be filled in the | 5 | | same manner as heretofore provided
for a regular term of office | 6 | | appointment of the student member. The new
student appointee | 7 | | shall hold office only for the remainder of that term. A | 8 | | student appointee's status on the Commission may not be | 9 | | considered in determining his or her eligibility for programs | 10 | | administered by the Commission.
| 11 | | (c) In accordance with the provisions of the State | 12 | | Universities Civil
Service Act, the Commission shall employ a | 13 | | professionally qualified person as
the Executive Director of | 14 | | the Commission, and such other employees as may be
necessary to | 15 | | effectuate the purposes of this Act.
| 16 | | (d) The Commission shall meet at least once in each fiscal | 17 | | year, and
may meet at other times which the Chairman may | 18 | | designate by giving at
least 10 days' written notice to each | 19 | | member.
