 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 698,  AS  AMENDED,

 4        "AN ACT to amend the Illinois Public Aid Code by changing
 5    Sections 4-1.6 and 11-14.5."; and
 6    in Section 5, by replacing the introductory clause and all of
 7    Sec. 4-20 with the following:
 8        "Section  5.   The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
 9    changing Sections 4-1.6 and 11-14.5 as follows:
10        (305 ILCS 5/4-1.6) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-1.6)
11        Sec. 4-1.6. Need).  Income available to the family, or to
12    the child in the case of a child  removed  from  his  or  her
13    home,  when  added  to  contributions  in money, substance or
14    services from other sources, including income available  from
15    parents   absent   from   the  home  or  from  a  stepparent,
16    contributions made for the benefit of  the  parent  or  other
17    persons  necessary  to  provide  care  and supervision to the
18    child, and contributions from legally responsible  relatives,
19    must be insufficient to equal the grant amount established by
20    Department regulation for such a person.
21        In   considering   income   to  be  taken  into  account,
                            -2-              LRB9001277SMpkam
 1    consideration shall  be  given  to  any  expenses  reasonably
 2    attributable  to  the  earning  of  such income. The Illinois
 3    Department may also, subject to such limitations  as  may  be
 4    prescribed  by  federal  law or regulation, permit all or any
 5    portion of earned or other income to be  set  aside  for  the
 6    future  identifiable  needs  of  a  child.  If federal law or
 7    regulations permit or require exemption of  other  income  of
 8    recipients,  the  Illinois Department may provide by rule and
 9    regulation for the exemptions  thus  permitted  or  required.
10    The  eligibility  of any applicant for or recipient of public
11    aid under this Article is not affected by the payment of  any
12    grant   under  the  "Senior  Citizens  and  Disabled  Persons
13    Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act".
14        For families on cash assistance under  this  Article  who
15    have  earned  income  budgeted,  any  child  support actually
16    distributed to  the  family  over  the  first  $50  shall  be
17    budgeted  in  the  same  manner  as earned income is budgeted
18    under this Article.
19    (Source: P.A. 84-832.)"; and
20    by replacing Section 99 with the following:
21        "Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
22    becoming law, except that  the  provisions  changing  Section
23    4-1.6  of the Illinois Public Aid Code take effect on July 1,
24    1997.".
