(30 ILCS 590/3) (from Ch. 127, par. 3003)

Sec. 3.

The Department may authorize a State agency to contract for
the provision of child care services for its  employees. The Department
may, in accordance with established rules, allow day care centers to
operate in State-owned or leased facilities.  Such facilities shall be
primarily for use by State employees but use by non-employees may be allowed.

Where a State agency enters into a contract to construct, acquire or
lease all or a substantial portion of a building, in which more than 50
persons shall be employed, other than a renewal of an existing lease, after
July 1, 1990, and where a need has been demonstrated, according to Section
4 of this Act, on-site child care services shall be provided for State
employees.

The Department shall implement this Act and shall promulgate all rules
and regulations necessary for this purpose.  By April 1, 1991, the
Department shall propose rules setting forth the standards and criteria,
including need and feasibility, for determining if on-site child care
services shall be provided.  The Department shall consult
with the Department of Children and Family Services in defining standards
for child care service centers established pursuant to this Act to ensure
compliance with the Child Care Act of 1969.  The
Department shall establish a schedule of fees that shall be charged to
employees of State agencies who may obtain child care services under this
Act.  Such schedule shall be established so that charges for service are
based on the actual cost of care.  Except as otherwise provided by law for
employees who may qualify for public assistance or social services due to
indigency or family circumstance, each employee obtaining child care
services under this Act shall be responsible for full payment of such
charges. The Department shall report, on or before December 31 of
each year, to the Governor and the members of the General Assembly, on the
feasibility and implementation of a plan for the provision of comprehensive
child care services.
