14 (c) A modern administrative technique that has proven to
15 be a valuable tool in helping organizations of all sizes
16 reduce costs and minimize the impact and expenses
17 accompanying the growth in governmental paperwork is a
18 function called "forms management".
19 Therefore the purpose of this Act is to add within the
20 Department of Central Management Services an activity to be
21 known as the "Forms Management Center" for the coordination,
22 orderly design, implementation, and maintenance of a
23 Statewide Form Management Program with the stated purpose to
24 simplify, consolidate, or eliminate when and where expedient
25 the forms, surveys, and other documents used by State
26 agencies. Particular emphasis shall be directed to
27 determining the necessity of information, records, and
28 reports sought through such forms, surveys, and other

-106- LRB9002999WHmg
1 applicants so certified who are reasonably assured of
2 receiving a Merit Recognition Scholarship in accordance with
3 the annual funding levels recommended in the Governor's
4 Budget -- other than any eligible applicant named on any such
5 certification who, as an eligible applicant, has previously
6 made application to the Commission for a merit recognition
7 scholarship under this Section -- of their eligibility to
8 apply for a scholarship under this Section. An otherwise
9 eligible applicant who fails to make a timely application (as
10 determined by the Commission) for a merit recognition
11 scholarship under this Section shall no longer be deemed an
12 eligible applicant and shall not qualify for the award of any
13 merit recognition scholarship.
14 (e) All applications for merit recognition scholarships
15 to be awarded under this Section shall be made to the
16 Commission on forms which the Commission shall provide for
17 eligible applicants. The form of applications and the
18 information required to be set forth therein shall be
19 determined by the Commission, and the Commission shall
20 require eligible applicants to submit with their applications
21 such supporting documents or recommendations as the
22 Commission deems necessary.
23 (f) Whenever an eligible applicant who has completed the
24 program of instruction at any approved high school located in
25 this State thereafter makes timely application to the
26 Commission for a merit recognition scholarship under this
27 Section, the Commission shall promptly determine whether that
28 eligible applicant is a qualified student as defined in
29 subsection (a) of this Section. Each such eligible applicant
30 so determined by the Commission to be a qualified student
31 shall be designated as such by the Commission and, except as
32 otherwise provided under subsection (k), shall be awarded a
33 merit recognition scholarship in the amount of $1,000,
34 effective during the academic year following the qualified
-107- LRB9002999WHmg
1 student's high school graduation or, should the General
2 Assembly specifically so provide in an appropriation under
3 this Section, effective for a subsequent academic year.
4 (g) Subject to a separate appropriation for purposes, of
5 this Section other than subsection (k), and subject to a
6 separate appropriation for purposes of subsection (k),
7 payment of any merit recognition scholarship awarded under
8 this Section shall be determined by the Commission. All
9 scholarship funds distributed in accordance with this
10 subsection or subsection (k) shall be paid to the qualified
11 Illinois institution of higher learning or Service Academy
12 and used only for payment of the educational expenses
13 incurred by the student in connection with his or her
14 attendance as an undergraduate student or cadet at that
15 institution or Service Academy, including but not limited to
16 tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies,
17 required Service Academy uniforms, and travel and personal
18 expenses related to the student's attendance at that
19 institution or Service Academy. Any merit recognition
20 scholarship awarded under this Section shall be applicable to
21 2 semesters or 3 quarters of enrollment. Should a qualified
22 student withdraw from enrollment prior to completion of the
23 first semester or quarter for which the merit recognition
24 scholarship is applicable, the student shall refund to the
25 Commission the full amount of the merit recognition
26 scholarship.
27 (h) The Commission shall administer the merit
28 recognition scholarship aid program established by this
29 Section and shall make all necessary and proper rules, not
30 inconsistent with this Section, for its effective
31 implementation.
32 (i) When an appropriation to the Commission for purposes
33 of this Section other than for purposes of subsection (k) is
34 insufficient to provide scholarships to all qualified
-108- LRB9002999WHmg
1 students (excluding qualified students under subsection (k)),
2 the Commission shall allocate the appropriation in accordance
3 with this subsection. If funds are insufficient to provide
4 all qualified students (excluding qualified students under
5 subsection (k)), with a scholarship as authorized by
6 subsection (f), the Commission shall allocate the
7 scholarships to qualified students (excluding qualified
8 students under subsection (k)) in order of decreasing
9 percentile as determined by the eligible applicant's
10 cumulative grade point average. All merit recognition
11 scholarships, other than merit recognition scholarships
12 awarded under subsection (k), shall be in the amount of
13 $1,000.
14 (j) The Commission, in determining the number of
15 scholarships to be offered pursuant to subsection (i), shall
16 take into consideration past experience with the rate of
17 scholarship funds unclaimed by qualified students. To the
18 extent necessary to avoid an overcommitment of funds, the
19 Commission may allocate scholarship funds on the basis of the
20 date the Commission receives a complete application form.
21 (k) (Blank). A $500 merit recognition scholarship shall
22 be awarded under this subsection to those qualified students
23 graduating from any approved high school located in this
24 Section whose 7th semester cumulative high school grade point
25 average was at or above the 90th percentile of their high
26 school class and who graduated from any such high school
27 during the 1986-1987 or 1987-1988 school year and have not
28 already received an initial award under this Section due to
29 insufficient appropriations. Funds for merit recognition
30 scholarships awarded under this subsection shall be provided
31 by a separate appropriation made for purposes of this
32 subsection. If the funds so appropriated are insufficient to
33 provide all qualified students under this subsection with an
34 initial award, the Commission shall allocate the merit
-109- LRB9002999WHmg
1 recognition scholarships awarded under this subsection to
2 those qualified students in order of decreasing percentile as
3 determined by their 7th semester cumulative high school grade
4 point average.

3 the time the application is made, and an acknowledgment

27 4; principal benefits; exceptions, reductions and
28 limitations; and renewal provisions, including any
29 reservation by the insurer of a right to change premiums.
30 Such outline of coverage shall clearly state that it
31 constitutes a summary of the policy issued or applied for and
32 that the policy should be consulted to determine governing
33 contractual provisions.
34 (6) Prior to the issuance of rules pursuant to this
-114- LRB9002999WHmg
1 Section, the Director shall afford the public, including the
2 companies affected thereby, reasonable opportunity for
3 comment. Such rulemaking is subject to the provisions of
4 "The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act".
5 (7) When a rule has been adopted, pursuant to this
6 Section, all policies of insurance or subscriber contracts
7 which are not in compliance with such rule shall, when so
8 provided in such rule, be deemed to be disapproved as of a
9 date specified in such rule not less than 120 days following
10 its effective date, without any further or additional notice
11 other than the adoption of the rule.
12 (8) When a rule adopted pursuant to this Section so
13 provides, a policy of insurance or subscriber contract which
14 does not comply with the rule shall not less than 120 days
15 from the effective date of such rule, be construed, and the
16 insurer or service corporation shall be liable, as if the
17 policy or contract did comply with the rule.
18 (9) Violation of any rule adopted pursuant to this
19 Section shall be a violation of the insurance law for
20 purposes of Sections 370 and 446 of the Insurance Code.

21 Sec. 5-6. Supervision of rehabilitation, liquidation or
22 conservation by the Director.
23 (a) For purposes of the rehabilitation, liquidation or
24 conservation of a health maintenance organization, the
25 operation of a health maintenance organization in this State
26 constitutes a form of insurance protection which should be
27 governed by the same provisions governing the rehabilitation,

29 rehabilitation, liquidation or conservation of a Health

32 State regarding the rehabilitation, liquidation, or
33 conservation of an insurance company and shall be conducted

13 the same priority as established by Section 205 of the
14 Illinois Insurance Code for policyholders and beneficiaries
15 of insureds of insurance companies. If an enrollee is liable
16 to any provider for services provided pursuant to and covered
17 by the health care plan, that liability shall have the status
18 of an enrollee claim for distribution of general assets.
19 Any provider who is obligated by statute or agreement to
20 hold enrollees harmless from liability for services provided
21 pursuant to and covered by a health care plan shall have a
22 priority of distribution of the general assets immediately
23 following that of enrollees and enrollees' beneficiaries as
24 described herein, and immediately preceding the priority of
25 distribution described in paragraph (e) of subsection (1) of
26 Section 205 of the Illinois Insurance Code.
27 (b) For purposes of Articles XIII and XIII-1/2 of the
28 Illinois Insurance Code, organizations in the following

32 Service Plan Act, the Dental Service Plan Act, the Vision
33 Service Plan Act, the Pharmaceutical Service Plan Act,
34 the Voluntary Health Services Plans Act or the Non-Profit
-130- LRB9002999WHmg

2 (ii) a corporation organized under the laws of this
3 State; or
4 (iii) a corporation organized under the laws of
5 another state, 20% or more of the enrollees of which are
6 residents of this State, except where such a corporation
7 is, in its state of incorporation, subject to
8 rehabilitation, liquidation and conservation under the
9 laws relating to insurance companies.
10 (c) In the event of the insolvency of a health
11 maintenance organization, no enrollee of such organization
12 shall be liable to any provider for medical services rendered
13 by such provider, except for applicable co-payments or
14 deductibles for covered services or fees for services not
15 covered by the health maintenance organization, with respect
16 to the amounts such provider is not paid by the Association
17 pursuant to the provisions of Section 6-8 (8)(b) and (c).
18 No provider, whether or not the provider is obligated by
19 statute or agreement to hold enrollees harmless from
20 liability, shall seek to recover any such amount from any
21 enrollee until the Association has made a final determination
22 of its liability (or the resolution of any dispute or
23 litigation resulting therefrom) with respect to the matters
24 specified in such provisions. In the event that the provider
25 seeks to recover such amounts before the Association's final
26 determination of its liability (or the resolution of any
27 dispute or litigation resulting therefrom), the provider
28 shall be liable for all reasonable costs and attorney fees
29 incurred by the Director or the Association in enforcing this
30 provision or any court orders related hereto.

17 its successors or assigns, of an amount equal to the amount
18 of taxes legally extended against the assessed valuation of
19 the capital stock of such Illinois public utility in the year
20 immediately preceding the year in which such acquisition

24 shall be made in the next calendar year. If such acquisition
25 occurs on or after April 1 in any year, the first such annual
26 payment shall be made in the second following calendar year.
27 The obligation to make such annual payments shall continue as

2 made to the taxing districts whose territorial limits, at the
3 time such payment is required to be made, include the place
4 where the principal office of such Illinois public utility
5 was located at the time of such acquisition, for use for such
6 corporate purposes of such taxing districts as their
7 governing bodies may order. The amount of the payment to each
8 of the several taxing districts shall be in the same ratio to
9 the total required annual payment as the ratio of the rate at
10 which taxes of such taxing district for the preceding year
11 have been extended to the total of the rates extended for all
12 of the taxes of such taxing districts for the preceding year.
13 Such annual payment shall be made by such foreign
14 corporation, its successors or assigns, to the respective
15 treasurers of such taxing districts within 30 days from the
16 date of delivery by the County Clerk to the Collector of the
17 books for collection of taxes. Such foreign corporation, its

21 districts to which such payments were made.

26 (225 ILCS 705/4.15) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 415)
27 Sec. 4.15. State Mine Inspectors are sealers of weights
28 and measures in their respective districts, and as such may
29 test all scales used to weigh coal at coal mines. Upon the
30 written request of any mine owner or operator, or of 10 coal
31 miners employed at any one mine, the State Mine Inspector
32 shall test any scale or scales against which a complaint is
-137- LRB9002999WHmg
1 directed. If he finds that any scale or scales, do not weigh
2 correctly, he shall call the attention of the mine owner or
3 operator to the fact, and direct that said scale or scales be
4 at once overhauled and readjusted so as to indicate only true
5 and exact weights, and he shall forbid the further operation
6 of such mine until the scales are adjusted. In the event the
7 test of the State Mine Inspector conflicts with any test made
8 by any county sealer of weights or under and by virtue of any
9 municipal ordinance or regulation, then the test by the State
10 Mine Inspector shall prevail.
11 This Section is repealed on July 1, 1998.

3 by changing Sections 3-8, 4-1.2b, 4-2, 4-10, 4-14, 5-5.16,
4 5-12, 6-2, 6-6, 12-4.7a, 12-4.11, 12-4.20b, and 12-6 as
5 follows:
6 (305 ILCS 5/3-8) (from Ch. 23, par. 3-8)
7 Sec. 3-8. Funeral and burial.
8 If the estate of a deceased recipient is insufficient to
9 pay for funeral and burial expenses, and if no other
10 resources, including assistance from legally responsible
11 relatives, are available for such purposes, there shall be
12 paid, in accordance with the standards, rules and regulations
13 of the Illinois Department, such reasonable amounts as may be
14 necessary to meet costs of the funeral, burial space, and
15 cemetery charges, or to reimburse any person not financially
16 responsible for the deceased who has voluntarily made
17 expenditures for such costs.
18 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the
19 contrary, the Illinois Department is authorized to reduce or
20 eliminate payments under this Section as necessary to
21 implement contingency reserves under the Emergency Budget Act
22 of Fiscal Year 1992, to the extent permitted by federal law.
23 Any such reduction or elimination shall expire on July 1,
24 1992.

26 (305 ILCS 5/4-1.2b) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-1.2b)
27 Sec. 4-1.2b. Federal marriage penalty; waiver. The
28 General Assembly finds that it is in the best interests of
29 children, parents, and the State that minor children reside
30 with 2 parents. Children in 2-parent families are less
31 likely to be and remain poor and less likely to need public
-139- LRB9002999WHmg
1 assistance. The General Assembly also finds that the current
2 federal requirement that a stepparent's income must be
3 counted to reduce or deny assistance under this Article to
4 the stepchildren penalizes and discourages assistance
5 recipients from forming 2-parent families.
6 Therefore, the Illinois Department shall seek, and make
7 its best efforts to obtain, from the appropriate federal
8 authorities a waiver of the requirement that a stepparent's
9 income must be counted to reduce or deny assistance under
10 this Article to the stepchildren in the assistance unit. To
11 assist the General Assembly in its deliberations for program
12 initiatives beginning in Fiscal Year 1994, the Illinois
13 Department shall report to the General Assembly no later than
14 March 31, 1993 the results of the effort to obtain the waiver
15 from the federal government.
16 This Section is repealed on July 1, 1998.

18 (305 ILCS 5/4-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-2)
19 Sec. 4-2. Amount of aid.
20 (a) The amount and nature of financial aid shall be
21 determined in accordance with the standards, grant amounts,
22 rules and regulations of the Illinois Department. Due regard
23 shall be given to the self-sufficiency requirements of the
24 family and to the income, money contributions and other
25 support and resources available, from whatever source.
26 Beginning July 1, 1992, the supplementary grants previously
27 paid under this Section shall no longer be paid. However,
28 the amount and nature of any financial aid is not affected by
29 the payment of any grant under the "Senior Citizens and
30 Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical
31 Assistance Act". The aid shall be sufficient, when added to
32 all other income, money contributions and support to provide
33 the family with a grant in the amount established by
-140- LRB9002999WHmg
1 Department regulation.
2 (b) The Illinois Department may conduct special
3 projects, which may be known as Grant Diversion Projects,
4 under which recipients of financial aid under this Article
5 are placed in jobs and their grants are diverted to the
6 employer who in turn makes payments to the recipients in the
7 form of salary or other employment benefits. The Illinois
8 Department shall by rule specify the terms and conditions of
9 such Grant Diversion Projects. Such projects shall take into
10 consideration and be coordinated with the programs
11 administered under the Illinois Emergency Employment
12 Development Act.
13 (c) The amount and nature of the financial aid for a
14 child requiring care outside his own home shall be determined
15 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Illinois
16 Department, with due regard to the needs and requirements of
17 the child in the foster home or institution in which he has
18 been placed.
19 (d) If the Department establishes grants for family
20 units consisting exclusively of a pregnant woman with no
21 dependent child, the grant amount for such a unit shall be
22 equal to the grant amount for an assistance unit consisting
23 of one adult. Other than as herein described, an unborn
24 child shall not be counted in determining the size of an
25 assistance unit or for calculating grants.
26 Payments for basic maintenance requirements of a child or
27 children and the relative with whom the child or children are
28 living shall be prescribed, by rule, by the Illinois
29 Department.
30 These grants may be increased in the following circumstances:
31 1. If the child is living with both parents or with
32 persons standing in the relationship of parents, and if
33 the grant is necessitated because of the unemployment or
34 insufficient earnings of the parent or parents and
-141- LRB9002999WHmg
1 neither parent is receiving benefits under "The
2 Unemployment Compensation Act", approved June 30, 1937,
3 as amended, the maximum may be increased by not more than
4 $25.
5 2. If a child is age 13 or over, the maximum may be
6 increased by not more than $15.
7 The allowances provided under Article IX for recipients
8 participating in the training and rehabilitation programs
9 shall be in addition to the maximum payments established in
10 this Section.
11 Grants under this Article shall not be supplemented by
12 General Assistance provided under Article VI.
13 (e) Grants shall be paid to the parent or other person
14 with whom the child or children are living, except for such
15 amount as is paid in behalf of the child or his parent or
16 other relative to other persons or agencies pursuant to this
17 Code or the rules and regulations of the Illinois Department.
18 (f) An assistance unit, receiving financial aid under
19 this Article or temporarily ineligible to receive aid under
20 this Article under a penalty imposed by the Illinois
21 Department for failure to comply with the eligibility
22 requirements or that voluntarily requests termination of
23 financial assistance under this Article and becomes
24 subsequently eligible for assistance within 9 months, shall
25 not receive any increase in the amount of aid solely on
26 account of the birth of a child; except that an increase is
27 not prohibited when the birth is (i) of a child of a pregnant
28 woman who became eligible for aid under this Article during
29 the pregnancy, or (ii) of a child born within 10 months after
30 the date of implementation of this subsection, or (iii) of a
31 child conceived after a family became ineligible for
32 assistance due to income or marriage and at least 3 months of
33 ineligibility expired before any reapplication for
34 assistance. This subsection does not, however, prevent a
-142- LRB9002999WHmg
1 unit from receiving a general increase in the amount of aid
2 that is provided to all recipients of aid under this Article.
3 The Illinois Department is authorized to transfer funds,
4 and shall use any budgetary savings attributable to not
5 increasing the grants due to the births of additional
6 children, to supplement existing funding for employment and
7 training services within the JOBS or its successor program
8 for recipients of aid under this Article IV. The Illinois
9 Department shall target, to the extent the supplemental
10 funding allows, JOBS services to the families who do not
11 receive a grant increase after the birth of a child. In
12 addition, the Illinois Department shall provide, to the
13 extent the supplemental funding allows, such families with up
14 to 24 months of transitional child care pursuant to Illinois
15 Department rules. All remaining supplemental funds shall be
16 used for JOBS employment and training services or
17 transitional child care support.
18 In making the transfers authorized by this subsection,
19 the Illinois Department shall first determine, pursuant to
20 regulations adopted by the Illinois Department for this
21 purpose, the amount of savings attributable to not increasing
22 the grants due to the births of additional children.
23 Transfers may be made from General Revenue Fund
24 appropriations for distributive purposes authorized by
25 Article IV of this Code only to General Revenue Fund
26 appropriations for employability development services
27 including operating and administrative costs and related
28 distributive purposes under Article IXA of this Code. The
29 Director, with the approval of the Governor, shall certify
30 the amount and affected line item appropriations to the State
31 Comptroller.
32 The Illinois Department shall apply for all waivers of
33 federal law and regulations necessary to implement this
34 subsection; implementation of this subsection is contingent
-143- LRB9002999WHmg
1 on the Illinois Department receiving all necessary federal
2 waivers. The Illinois Department may implement this
3 subsection through the use of emergency rules in accordance
4 with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
5 Act. For purposes of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
6 Act, the adoption of rules to implement this subsection shall
7 be considered an emergency and necessary for the public
8 interest, safety, and welfare.
9 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit
10 the Illinois Department from using AFDC funds to provide
11 assistance in the form of vouchers that may be used to pay
12 for goods and services deemed by the Illinois Department, by
13 rule, as suitable for the care of the child such as diapers,
14 clothing, school supplies, and cribs.
15 (g) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
16 Code to the contrary, the Illinois Department is authorized
17 to reduce or eliminate payments for supplementary grants
18 under the first paragraph of this Section as necessary to
19 implement contingency reserves under the Emergency Budget Act
20 of Fiscal Year 1992, to the extent permitted by federal law.

21 determined and amend the standards from time to time as
22 circumstances may require.
23 The standards shall provide a livelihood compatible with
24 health and well-being for persons eligible for financial aid
25 under any Article of this Code. They shall include
26 recognition of any special needs occasioned by the handicaps
27 and infirmities of age, blindness, or disability. They shall
28 include recognition of the special clothing needs of school
29 age children occasioned by cold weather conditions during the
30 winter season. Standards established to determine the
31 eligibility of medically indigent persons for aid under
32 Articles V or VII shall take into account the requirements of
-150- LRB9002999WHmg
1 the spouse or other dependent or dependents of the applicant
2 for medical aid.
3 The quantity and quality of the items included in the
4 standards established for food, clothing, and other basic
5 maintenance needs shall take account of the buying and
6 consumption patterns of self-supporting persons and families
7 of low income, as determined from time to time by the United
8 States Department of Agriculture, the United States Bureau of
9 Labor Statistics, and other nationally recognized research
10 authorities in the fields of nutrition and family living.
11 The items in the standards shall be priced annually for
12 changes in cost, as provided in Section 12-4.15, and prices
13 of the standards adjusted as indicated by the findings of
14 these surveys. The Department, with due regard for and
15 subject to budgetary limitations, shall establish grant
16 amounts for each of the programs, by regulation. The grant
17 amounts may be less than the prices of the standards and may
18 vary by program, size of assistance unit and geographic area
19 and may be established in the form of a percentage of the
20 standards for any or all programs. Beginning July 1, 1991,
21 the annual appropriations law of the Illinois Department of
22 Public Aid shall, in respect to Articles IV and VI, specify
23 the percentage of the current Standard of Need, that the
24 current fiscal year appropriation is intended to cover as of

27 any time during the remainder of that fiscal year.
28 In recognition of the inability of low income households
29 to afford the rising costs of energy, payments made by the
30 Department under Articles IV and VI shall include an amount
31 of money to offset, in whole or in part, the costs of energy
32 associated with seasonal variations. The Department may by
33 rule establish the amount of such energy payments which may
34 vary in accordance with the size of the assistance unit. The
-151- LRB9002999WHmg
1 Department for reasons of administrative simplicity may
2 provide the amounts in equal monthly payments.
3 During the first month that the Department pays grants
4 which include amounts authorized in the preceding paragraph,

6 of reasonable amounts as may be necessary for burial space
7 and cemetery charges, and any applicable taxes or other
8 required governmental fees or charges. The Department shall
9 authorize no payment in excess of $315 for a cemetery burial.
10 Nothing contained in this Section or in any other Section

15 consolidated standards in determining need for public aid and
16 the amount of money payment or grant for individual
17 recipients or recipient families.
18 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the
19 contrary, the Illinois Department is authorized to reduce
20 payment levels under Article VI as necessary to implement

29 rule, by which grant amounts and need for public aid will be
30 determined and amend the standards from time to time as
31 circumstances may require.
32 The standards shall provide a livelihood compatible with
33 health and well-being for persons eligible for financial aid
34 under any Article of this Code. They shall include
-153- LRB9002999WHmg
1 recognition of any special needs occasioned by the handicaps
2 and infirmities of age, blindness, or disability. They shall
3 include recognition of the special clothing needs of school
4 age children occasioned by cold weather conditions during the
5 winter season. Standards established to determine the
6 eligibility of medically indigent persons for aid under
7 Articles V or VII shall take into account the requirements of
8 the spouse or other dependent or dependents of the applicant
9 for medical aid.
10 The quantity and quality of the items included in the
11 standards established for food, clothing, and other basic
12 maintenance needs shall take account of the buying and
13 consumption patterns of self-supporting persons and families
14 of low income, as determined from time to time by the United
15 States Department of Agriculture, the United States Bureau of
16 Labor Statistics, and other nationally recognized research
17 authorities in the fields of nutrition and family living.
18 The items in the standards shall be priced annually for
19 changes in cost, as provided in Section 12-4.15, and prices
20 of the standards adjusted as indicated by the findings of
21 these surveys. The Department, with due regard for and
22 subject to budgetary limitations, shall establish grant
23 amounts for each of the programs, by regulation. The grant
24 amounts may be less than the prices of the standards and may
25 vary by program, size of assistance unit and geographic area
26 and may be established in the form of a percentage of the
27 standards for any or all programs. Beginning July 1, 1991,
28 the annual appropriations law of the Illinois Department
29 shall, in respect to Articles IV and VI, specify the
30 percentage of the current Standard of Need, that the current
31 fiscal year appropriation is intended to cover as of the
32 beginning of that fiscal year. Nothing in the preceding
33 sentence shall be construed to require any grant increase at
34 any time during the remainder of that fiscal year.
-154- LRB9002999WHmg
1 In recognition of the inability of low income households
2 to afford the rising costs of energy, payments made by the
3 Department under Articles IV and VI shall include an amount
4 of money to offset, in whole or in part, the costs of energy
5 associated with seasonal variations. The Department may by
6 rule establish the amount of such energy payments which may
7 vary in accordance with the size of the assistance unit. The
8 Department for reasons of administrative simplicity may
9 provide the amounts in equal monthly payments.
10 During the first month that the Department pays grants
11 which include amounts authorized in the preceding paragraph,
12 the grant amounts for all sized assistance units within each
13 program the Department administers under Article IV of this
14 Code and for assistance units of more than one person under
15 Article VI of this Code shall be adjusted to approach more
16 closely a single percentage of the standard of assistance
17 established under this Section, with grant amounts expressed
18 in whole dollar amounts. The percentage used for Article IV
19 need not be the same percentage used for Article VI. Energy

15 to be billed during the fee year.
16 (A) Differential payment schedule. If a
17 provider's projected total gross payment for the fee
18 year exceeds by more than 20% the actual total gross
19 payment for the year prior to the fee year, the
20 Department shall establish a fee payment schedule
21 for that provider which reflects the increasing
22 payments projected for the fee year. This special
23 payment schedule shall require lesser fee payments
24 during the first quarter with gradually increasing
25 fee payments according to the projected growth in
26 Medicaid receipts.
27 (B) Adjustment of inaccurate projections. If
28 a provider's projected total gross payment for the
29 fee exceeds by more than 20% the actual total gross
30 payment for the year prior to the fee year, the
31 Department shall monitor the actual total gross
32 payments on a quarterly basis throughout the fee
33 year. If, at the end of any quarter, actual
34 payments for the fee year to date differ by more
-182- LRB9002999WHmg
1 than 10% from projected payments, the Department
2 shall issue a revised fee amount to the provider.
3 If the actual payments exceed those projected, the
4 provider must submit the appropriate revised fee
5 amount within 30 days of the date the Department
6 sends the notification of the revised amount. If
7 the actual amounts are less than the projected
8 amounts, the Department must return to the provider
9 the appropriate share of overpaid fees, if any,
10 within 30 days of the determination of the
11 discrepancy.
12 (2) Multiplier. The Department shall multiply the
13 projected total gross payment by an amount of not more
14 than 15% to determine the fee amount.
15 (3) Notification. The Department shall notify each
16 provider in writing of the amount of the fee and the
17 required procedure for submitting the required payment.
18 (4) Provider submission of fee. Each applicable
19 provider must submit the specified fee in equal quarterly
20 amounts due on the first business date of each calendar
21 quarter.
22 (5) (A) Any provider that fails to pay the fee when
23 due, or pays less than the full amount due, shall be
24 required to pay a penalty of 10% of the delinquency
25 or deficiency for each month, or any fraction
26 thereof, computed on the full amount of the
27 delinquency or deficiency, from the time the fee was
28 due.
29 (B) In addition, the Illinois Department may
30 take action to notify the Office of the Comptroller
31 to collect any amount of monies owed under this
32 Section, pursuant to Section 10.05 of the State
33 Comptroller Act, or may suspend payments to, or
34 cancel or refuse to issue, extend, or reinstate a
-183- LRB9002999WHmg
1 Provider Contract or Agreement to, any provider
2 which has failed to pay any delinquent fee or
3 penalty.
4 (6) Local government funds certification. If local
5 government funds are used as a source of a portion or the
6 entire fee amount, the provider may certify the planned
7 spending of these local funds for the specified services
8 in lieu of actual cash payment to the Fund. This
9 certification must be accompanied by a statement from
10 each local government funder stating the intent of that
11 funder to contribute the applicable portion of the fee
12 amount. If this certification process is used, the
13 provider must also submit to the Department by October 31
14 of the year following the fee year an annual audit
15 statement from a Certified Public Accountant firm
16 demonstrating that the local government funds were spent
17 for the intended service in the amounts required
18 according to the fee amount. If these local government
19 funds were not spent for the Medicaid service as
20 required, the provider must pay to the State the amount
21 of the fee which was not spent, plus a fine of 25% of the
22 amount of the fee not properly covered by the local
23 government funds certification process. This payment
24 must be submitted to the State Treasury by October 31 of
25 the year following the fee year.
26 (d) Use of the Fund.
27 (1) Revenue. The Fund may receive deposits from
28 the federal government in accordance with subsection (a)
29 and from provider fees in accordance with subsection (c).
30 (2) Protection from reduction. The moneys in the
31 Fund shall be exempt from any State budget reduction
32 Acts. The Fund shall not be used to replace any funds
33 otherwise appropriated to the Medicaid program by the
34 General Assembly.
-184- LRB9002999WHmg
1 (3) Administration; Contingency reserve. Moneys
2 paid from the Fund shall be used first for payment of
3 administrative expenses incurred by the Department in
4 performing the activities authorized by this Section,
5 including payments of any amounts which are reimbursable
6 to the federal government for payments from this Fund
7 which are required to be paid by State warrant.
8 Disbursements from this Fund, other than transfers to the
9 General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund,
10 shall be by warrants drawn by the State Comptroller upon
11 receipt of vouchers duly executed and certified by the
12 Department. The Department may also establish a
13 contingency reserve of no more than 3% of the total
14 moneys collected in any one year.
15 (4) (Blank). Expenditures. Moneys in the Fund may
16 be used for making transfers to the General Obligation
17 Bond Retirement and Interest Fund before October 1, 1992,
18 as those transfers are authorized in the proceedings
19 authorizing debt under the Short Term Borrowing Act.
20 These transfers shall not exceed the principal amount of
21 debt issued in anticipation of the receipt by the State
22 of moneys to be deposited into the Fund.
23 After paying the necessary administrative expenses
24 and providing for a contingency, the Department shall
25 spend the remaining moneys in the Fund to reimburse
26 providers for providing Medicaid services.
27 (A) In the aggregate, providers are entitled
28 to a return of the entire amount required plus the
29 federal matching portion less administrative
30 expenses and less the allowed 3% contingency
31 reserve, based on fees paid before October 1, 1992.
32 No provider will receive back less than the amount
33 required as a fee, for fees paid before October 1,
34 1992.
-185- LRB9002999WHmg
1 (B) The Department shall maintain records that
2 show the amount of money that has been paid by each
3 provider into the Fund and the amount of money that
4 has been paid from the Fund to each provider.
5 (5) Audit. The Department shall conduct an annual
6 audit of the Fund to determine that amounts received from
7 or paid to providers were correct. If a unit of local
8 government certified non-federal funds, the provider must
9 submit to the Department within 120 days after the end of
10 the fiscal year an annual audit statement from a
11 certified public accountant firm demonstrating that the
12 local government funds were spent for the intended
13 service in the amounts required. If an audit identifies
14 amounts that a provider should have been required to pay
15 and did not pay, a provider should not have been required
16 to pay but did pay, a provider should not have received
17 but did receive, or a provider should have received but
18 did not receive, the Department shall:
19 (A) Make the corrected payments to the
20 provider;
21 (B) Correct the fee amount and any related
22 fines; or
23 (C) Take action to recover required amounts
24 from the provider.
25 (e) Applicability contingent on federal funds. The
26 requirements of subsection (c) shall apply only as long as
27 federal funds under the Medicaid Program are provided for the
28 purposes of this Section and only as long as reimbursable
29 expenditures are matched at the federal Medicaid percentage
30 of at least 50%. Whenever the Department is informed that
31 federal funds are not to be provided for these purposes or
32 are provided at a lower percentage, the Department shall
33 promptly refund to each provider the amount of money
34 deposited by each provider, minus payments made from fee
-186- LRB9002999WHmg
1 funds to the provider, minus the proportionate share of funds
2 spent for administration, plus the proportionate share of any
3 investment earnings. In no event shall the Department
4 calculate a fee or require the payment of a fee for any
5 quarter beginning on or after October 1, 1992.
6 (f) The Department may promulgate rules and regulations
7 to implement this Section. For the purposes of the Illinois
8 Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption or amendment of
9 rules to implement this amendatory Act of 1991 shall be
10 deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,
11 safety and welfare.
