 1        AN ACT in relation to State government.
 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:
 4        Section 1.  Short title.  This Act may be  cited  as  the
 5    FY99 Budget Implementation (Financial) Act.
 6        Section  5.   Purpose.   It is the purpose and subject of
 7    this Act to make the  changes  in  State  programs  that  are
 8    necessary   to   implement   the   Governor's  FY1999  budget
 9    recommendations.
10        Section 7.  The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act  is
11    amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:
12        (5 ILCS 100/5-45) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45)
13        Sec. 5-45.  Emergency rulemaking.
14        (a)  "Emergency"  means  the  existence  of any situation
15    that any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to  the
16    public interest, safety, or welfare.
17        (b)  If  any  agency  finds that an emergency exists that
18    requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is  required
19    by  Section  5-40  and states in writing its reasons for that
20    finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior
21    notice  or  hearing  upon  filing  a  notice   of   emergency
22    rulemaking  with  the  Secretary of State under Section 5-70.
23    The notice shall include the text of the emergency  rule  and
24    shall  be published in the Illinois Register.  Consent orders
25    or other court orders adopting settlements negotiated  by  an
26    agency  may  be  adopted  under  this  Section.   Subject  to
27    applicable   constitutional   or   statutory  provisions,  an
28    emergency rule  becomes  effective  immediately  upon  filing
29    under  Section  5-65  or  at a stated date less than 10  days
SB1704 Enrolled            -2-                 LRB9011518MWpc
 1    thereafter.  The agency's finding  and  a  statement  of  the
 2    specific  reasons  for  the  finding  shall be filed with the
 3    rule.  The  agency  shall  take  reasonable  and  appropriate
 4    measures to make emergency rules known to the persons who may
 5    be affected by them.
 6        (c)  An  emergency  rule may be effective for a period of
 7    not longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt
 8    an identical rule under Section 5-40 is  not  precluded.   No
 9    emergency  rule may be adopted more than once in any 24 month
10    period,  except  that  this  limitation  on  the  number   of
11    emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does
12    not  apply  to (i) emergency rules that make additions to and
13    deletions from the Drug Manual under Section  5-5.16  of  the
14    Illinois  Public Aid Code or the generic drug formulary under
15    Section 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic  Act  or
16    (ii)  emergency  rules adopted by the Pollution Control Board
17    before July 1, 1997 to implement portions  of  the  Livestock
18    Management  Facilities  Act.   Two  or  more  emergency rules
19    having substantially the same purpose  and  effect  shall  be
20    deemed to be a single rule for purposes of this Section.
21        (d)  In  order  to provide for the expeditious and timely
22    implementation of the State's fiscal year 1999  1998  budget,
23    emergency rules to implement any provision of this amendatory
24    Act  of  1998  1997 or any other budget initiative for fiscal
25    year 1999 1998 may be adopted in accordance with this Section
26    by the agency charged with administering  that  provision  or
27    initiative,  except  that  the  24-month  limitation  on  the
28    adoption  of  emergency  rules and the provisions of Sections
29    5-115 and 5-125 do not apply  to  rules  adopted  under  this
30    subsection  (d).   The adoption of emergency rules authorized
31    by this subsection (d) shall be deemed to  be  necessary  for
32    the public interest, safety, and welfare.

 3        (20 ILCS 505/5b) (from Ch. 23, par. 5005b)
 4        Sec. 5b. Child Care and Development Fund;  Department  of
 5    Human Services.
 6        (a)  Until   October   1,   1998:   The  Child  Care  and
 7    Development Fund is hereby created as a special fund  in  the
 8    State  treasury.   Deposits  to  this  fund  shall consist of
 9    receipts from the federal government under the Child Care and
10    Development Block  Grant  Program.   Disbursements  from  the
11    Child  Care  and  Development  Fund  shall  be  made  by  the
12    Department   of   Human   Services  in  accordance  with  the
13    guidelines established by  the  federal  government  for  the
14    Child  Care  and  Development Block Grant Program, subject to
15    appropriation by the General Assembly.
16        (b)  The Child Care and Development Fund is abolished  on
17    October  1,  1998,  and  any balance remaining in the Fund on
18    that date shall be transferred to the Special Purposes  Trust
19    Fund  described  in  Section 12-10 of the Illinois Public Aid
20    Code.

23        Sec.  34.10.  Home  child  care  demonstration   project;
24    conversion   and   renovation  grants;  Department  of  Human
25    Services.
26        (a)  The legislature finds that the  demand  for  quality
27    child  care  far outweighs the number of safe, quality spaces
28    for our children. The purpose of this Section is to  increase
29    the number of child care providers by:
30             (1)  developing  a  demonstration  project  to train
31        individuals to become home child care providers  who  are
32        able  to  establish  and  operate  their  own  child care
SB1704 Enrolled            -4-                 LRB9011518MWpc
 1        facility; and
 2             (2)  providing  grants  to  convert   and   renovate
 3        existing facilities.
 4        (b)  The   Department   of   Human   Services   may  from
 5    appropriations from the Child Care  Development  Block  Grant
 6    establish  a  demonstration  project  to train individuals to
 7    become home child care providers who are  able  to  establish
 8    and  operate their own home-based child care facilities.  The
 9    Department of Human Services is authorized to use  funds  for
10    this  purpose  from  the  child  care  and  development funds
11    deposited into the Special Purposes Trust Fund  as  described
12    in  Section  12-10 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and, until
13    October 1, 1998, the Child Care and Development Fund  created
14    by  the  87th  General  Assembly.  As an economic development
15    program,  the  project's  focus  is  to   foster   individual
16    self-sufficiency  through  an entrepreneurial approach by the
17    creation of new jobs and  opening  of  new  small  home-based
18    child  care  businesses.   The  demonstration  project  shall
19    involve  coordination  among State and county governments and
20    the private  sector,  including  but  not  limited  to:   the
21    community  college  system,  the  Departments  of  Labor  and
22    Commerce and Community Affairs, the State Board of Education,
23    large  and  small  private  businesses,  nonprofit  programs,
24    unions, and child care providers in the State.
25        The Department shall submit:
26             (1)  a  progress report on the demonstration project
27        to the legislature by one year after the  effective  date
28        of this amendatory Act of 1991; and
29             (2)  a  final evaluation report on the demonstration
30        project, including findings and recommendations,  to  the
31        legislature  by  one  year  after  the  due  date  of the
32        progress report.
33        (c)  The  Department   of   Human   Services   may   from
34    appropriations  from  the  Child Care Development Block Grant
SB1704 Enrolled            -5-                 LRB9011518MWpc
 1    provide grants to family  child  care  providers  and  center
 2    based  programs  to convert and renovate existing facilities,
 3    to the extent permitted by federal law, so additional  family
 4    child  care  homes  and  child care centers can be located in
 5    such facilities.
 6             (1)  Applications for grants shall be  made  to  the
 7        Department   and   shall   contain   information  as  the
 8        Department shall require by rule.  Every applicant  shall
 9        provide assurance to the Department that:
10                  (A)  the  facility  to be renovated or improved
11             shall be used as family child  care  home  or  child
12             care  center  for  a continuous period of at least 5
13             years;
14                  (B)  any family child care home or  child  care
15             center  program  located  in a renovated or improved
16             facility shall be licensed  by the Department;
17                  (C)  the program shall comply  with  applicable
18             federal  and  State  laws prohibiting discrimination
19             against any person on  the  basis  of  race,  color,
20             national origin, religion, creed, or sex;

22             of entertainment or perquisites;
23                  (E)  the applicant shall comply with any  other
24             requirement  the  Department may prescribe to ensure
25             adherence to applicable federal, State,  and  county
26             laws;

28             undertaken with funds received  under  this  Section
29             shall  comply  with  all applicable State and county
30             statutes   and   ordinances   including   applicable
31             building codes and structural  requirements  of  the
32             Department; and
33                  (G)  the  applicant  shall  indemnify  and save
34             harmless the State and  its  officers,  agents,  and

 1             employees  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims
 2             arising  out of or resulting from the renovation and
 3             improvements  made  with  funds  provided  by   this
 4             Section,  and,  upon  request of the Department, the
 5             applicant  shall  procure  sufficient  insurance  to
 6             provide that indemnification.
 7             (2)  To  receive  a  grant  under  this  Section  to
 8        convert an existing facility into  a  family  child  care
 9        home or child care center facility, the applicant shall:
10                  (A)  agree  to make available to the Department
11             of Human Services all records it may  have  relating
12             to  the  operation of any family child care home and
13             child care  center  facility,  and  to  allow  State
14             agencies  to monitor its compliance with the purpose
15             of this Section;
16                  (B)  agree that,  if  the  facility  is  to  be
17             altered  or  improved,  or  is  to  be used by other
18             groups, moneys appropriated by this Section shall be
19             used for renovating or improving the  facility  only
20             to  the  proportionate  extent  that the floor space
21             will be used by the child care program; and
22                  (C)  establish,  to  the  satisfaction  of  the
23             Department that sufficient funds are  available  for
24             the  effective  use  of the facility for the purpose
25             for which it is being renovated or improved.
26             (3)  In  selecting  applicants  for   funding,   the
27        Department  shall make every effort to ensure that family
28        child care home  or  child  care  center  facilities  are
29        equitably  distributed  throughout the State according to
30        demographic need.  The  Department  shall  give  priority
31        consideration  to rural/Downstate areas of the State that
32        are currently  experiencing  a  shortage  of  child  care
33        services.
34             (4)  In   considering  applications  for  grants  to

 1        renovate or improve an existing  facility  used  for  the
 2        operations  of  a  family  child  care home or child care
 3        center,  the  Department   shall   give   preference   to
 4        applications  to  renovate  facilities  most  in  need of
 5        repair to address safety and habitability  concerns.   No
 6        grant  shall  be disbursed unless an agreement is entered
 7        into between the applicant and the State, by and  through
 8        the   Department.    The   agreement  shall  include  the
 9        assurances and conditions required by  this  Section  and
10        any other terms which the Department may require.

12    interest  for  the  benefit of the holders of the Authority's
13    bonds shall be valid and binding from the time the bonds  are
14    issued  without  any  physical  delivery  or further act, and
15    shall be valid and binding as against and prior to the claims
16    of all other parties having claims against the  Authority  or
17    any  other  person  irrespective of whether the other parties
18    have notice of  the  pledge,  assignment,  lien  or  security
19    interest.   As  evidence of such pledge, assignment, lien and
20    security interest, the Authority may execute  and  deliver  a
21    mortgage, trust agreement, indenture or security agreement or
22    an assignment thereof.
23        A  remedy  for  any breach or default of the terms of any
24    such  agreement  by  the  Authority  may   be   by   mandamus
25    proceedings  in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel
26    the performance and compliance therewith, but  the  agreement
27    may  prescribe  by whom or on whose behalf such action may be
28    instituted.
29        It is expressly understood that the  Authority  may,  but
30    need  not, acquire title to any project with respect to which
31    it exercises its authority.
32        (d)  With respect to the powers granted by this Act,  the
33    Authority  may  adopt  rules  and regulations prescribing the
34    procedures by which persons may apply  for  assistance  under
SB1704 Enrolled            -11-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    this Act.
 2        Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the Authority,
 3    prior   to   the  filing  of  any  formal  application,  from
 4    conducting preliminary discussions  and  investigations  with
 5    respect to the subject matter of any prospective application.
 6        (e)  The   Authority  shall  have  power  to  acquire  by
 7    purchase, lease, gift or otherwise  any  property  or  rights
 8    therein  from  any  person  useful  for its purposes, whether
 9    improved for the purposes  of  any  prospective  project,  or
10    unimproved.  The  Authority  may  also accept any donation of
11    funds for its purposes from any such  source.  The  Authority
12    shall  have  no  independent  power  of  condemnation but may
13    acquire  any  property  or  rights  therein   obtained   upon
14    condemnation  by  any other authority, governmental entity or
15    unit of local government with such power.
16        (f)  The Authority shall have power to develop, construct
17    and improve  either  under  its  own  direction,  or  through
18    collaboration  with  any  approved  applicant,  or to acquire
19    through purchase or otherwise, any project,  using  for  such
20    purpose  the  proceeds  derived from the sale of its bonds or
21    from governmental loans or grants, and to hold title  in  the
22    name of the Authority to such projects.
23        (g)  The  Authority shall have power to lease pursuant to
24    a lease agreement any project so developed and constructed or
25    acquired to the approved tenant on such terms and  conditions
26    as may be appropriate to further the purposes of this Act and
27    to  maintain  the credit of the Authority. Any such lease may
28    provide for either the Authority or the  approved  tenant  to
29    assume   initially,  in  whole  or  in  part,  the  costs  of
30    maintenance, repair and  improvements  during  the  leasehold
31    period. In no case, however, shall the total rentals from any
32    project during any initial leasehold period or the total loan
33    repayments to be made pursuant to any loan agreement, be less
34    than  an  amount  necessary to return over such lease or loan
SB1704 Enrolled            -12-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    period  (1)  all  costs  incurred  in  connection  with   the
 2    development,  construction, acquisition or improvement of the
 3    project and for repair, maintenance and improvements  thereto
 4    during  the  period  of the lease or loan; provided, however,
 5    that the rentals or loan repayments need  not  include  costs
 6    met through the use of funds other than those obtained by the
 7    Authority  through  the issuance of its bonds or governmental
 8    loans; (2) a reasonable percentage additive to be agreed upon
 9    by the Authority and  the  borrower  or  tenant  to  cover  a
10    properly   allocable   portion  of  the  Authority's  general
11    expenses,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  administrative
12    expenses, salaries and general insurance, and (3)  an  amount
13    sufficient  to  pay  when  due all principal of, interest and
14    premium, if any on, any bonds issued by  the  Authority  with
15    respect to the project.
16        The  portion of total rentals payable under clause (3) of
17    this subsection  (g)  shall  be  deposited  in  such  special
18    accounts,   including   all   sinking  fund,  acquisition  or
19    construction funds, debt service and other funds as  provided
20    by  any  resolution,  mortgage  or  trust  agreement  of  the
21    Authority pursuant to which any bond is issued.
22        (h)  The Authority has the power, upon the termination of
23    any  leasehold  period of any project, to sell or lease for a
24    further  term  or  terms  such  project  on  such  terms  and
25    conditions  as  the  Authority  shall  deem  reasonable   and
26    consistent  with  the  purposes  of the Act. The net proceeds
27    from all such sales and the  revenues  or  income  from  such
28    leases  shall  be  used  to  satisfy  any indebtedness of the
29    Authority with respect to such project and any balance may be
30    used to pay any expenses of the Authority or be used for  the
31    further development, construction, acquisition or improvement
32    of projects.
33        In  the event any project is vacated by a tenant prior to
34    the  termination  of  the  initial  leasehold   period,   the
SB1704 Enrolled            -13-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    Authority  shall  sell or lease the facilities of the project
 2    on the most advantageous terms available. The net proceeds of
 3    any such disposition shall be treated in the same  manner  as
 4    the proceeds from sales or the revenues or income from leases
 5    subsequent  to  the  termination  of  any  initial  leasehold
 6    period.
 7        (i)  The  Authority shall have the power to make loans to
 8    persons to finance a project, to enter into  loan  agreements
 9    with  respect  thereto, and to accept guarantees from persons
10    of its loans or the resultant evidences of obligations to the
11    Authority.
12        (j)  The Authority may fix, determine, charge and collect
13    any premiums, fees, charges, costs and  expenses,  including,
14    without  limitation,  any  application fees, commitment fees,
15    program fees, financing charges or publication fees from  any
16    person in connection with its activities under this Act.
17        (k)  In  addition  to  the  funds established as provided
18    herein, the Authority shall have  the  power  to  create  and
19    establish such reserve funds and accounts as may be necessary
20    or desirable to accomplish its purposes under this Act and to
21    deposit its available monies into the funds and accounts.
22        (l)  At  the request of the governing body of any unit of
23    local government, the Authority is authorized to market  such
24    local  government's  industrial  revenue  bond  offerings  by
25    preparing  bond issues for sale, advertising for sealed bids,
26    receiving bids at its offices, making the award to the bidder
27    that  offers  the  most  favorable  terms  or  arranging  for
28    negotiated placements or underwritings  of  such  securities.
29    The  Authority  may,  at its discretion, offer for concurrent
30    sale  the  industrial  revenue   bonds   of   several   local
31    governments.  Sales  by  the  Authority of industrial revenue
32    bonds  under  this  Section  shall  in  no  way  imply  State
33    guarantee of such debt issue. The Authority may require  such
34    financial information from participating local governments as
SB1704 Enrolled            -14-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of this
 2    subsection (l).
 3        (m)  The Authority may make grants to any county to which
 4    Division 5-37 of the Counties Code is applicable to assist in
 5    the   financing  of  capital  development,  construction  and
 6    renovation of new or existing facilities  for  hospitals  and
 7    health  care facilities under that Act.  Such grants may only
 8    be made from funds appropriated for such  purposes  from  the
 9    Build Illinois Bond Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund.
10        (n)  The  Authority  may  establish  an urban development
11    action  grant  program   for   the   purpose   of   assisting
12    municipalities  in  Illinois  which  are  experiencing severe
13    economic distress  to  help  stimulate  economic  development
14    activities needed to aid in economic recovery.  The Authority
15    shall  determine  the  types  of  activities and projects for
16    which the  urban  development  action  grants  may  be  used,
17    provided  that  such  projects  and  activities  are  broadly
18    defined to include all reasonable projects and activities the
19    primary  objectives  of  which  are the development of viable
20    urban communities, including decent housing  and  a  suitable
21    living  environment,  and  expansion of economic opportunity,
22    principally for persons of low  and  moderate  incomes.   The
23    Authority  shall  enter  into  grant  agreements  from monies
24    appropriated for such purposes from the Build  Illinois  Bond
25    Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund. The Authority shall
26    monitor  the  use of the grants, and shall provide for audits
27    of the funds as well as recovery  by  the  Authority  of  any
28    funds  determined  to  have  been  spent in violation of this
29    subsection  (n)  or  any  rule  or   regulation   promulgated
30    hereunder.   The Authority shall provide technical assistance
31    with regard to the effective use  of  the  urban  development
32    action  grants.  The Authority shall file an annual report to
33    the General Assembly concerning the  progress  of  the  grant
34    program.

 1        (o)  The  Authority  may  establish a Housing Partnership
 2    Program whereby the Authority provides zero-interest loans to
 3    municipalities for the purpose of assisting in the  financing
 4    of projects for the rehabilitation of affordable multi-family
 5    housing for low and moderate income residents.  The Authority
 6    may  provide  such loans only upon a municipality's providing
 7    evidence  that  it  has  obtained  private  funding  for  the
 8    rehabilitation project.  The Authority shall provide 3  State
 9    dollars for every 7 dollars obtained by the municipality from
10    sources  other than the State of Illinois. The loans shall be
11    made from monies appropriated for such purpose from the Build
12    Illinois Bond Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund.   The
13    total amount of loans available under the Housing Partnership
14    Program shall not exceed $30,000,000. State loan monies under
15    this  subsection  (o)  shall be used only for the acquisition
16    and rehabilitation of existing buildings containing 4 or more
17    dwelling  units.  The  terms  of  any  loan   made   by   the
18    municipality under this subsection shall require repayment of
19    the  loan to the municipality upon any sale or other transfer
20    of the project.
21        (p)  The Authority may award grants to  universities  and
22    research   institutions,   research   consortiums  and  other
23    not-for-profit entities for the purposes  of:  remodeling  or
24    otherwise physically altering existing laboratory or research
25    facilities,  expansion  or  physical  additions  to  existing
26    laboratory   or  research  facilities,  construction  of  new
27    laboratory or research facilities or  acquisition  of  modern
28    equipment   to  support  laboratory  or  research  operations
29    provided that such grants (i) be used solely  in  support  of
30    project  and  equipment acquisitions which enhance technology
31    transfer, and (ii) not constitute more than 60 percent of the
32    total project or acquisition cost.
33        (q)  Grants may be awarded by the Authority to  units  of
34    local   government   for   the   purpose  of  developing  the
SB1704 Enrolled            -16-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    appropriate infrastructure or defraying other  costs  to  the
 2    local   government  in  support  of  laboratory  or  research
 3    facilities provided that such grants may not  exceed  40%  of
 4    the cost to the unit of local government.
 5        (r)  The Authority may establish a Direct Loan Program to
 6    make  loans  to individuals, partnerships or corporations for
 7    the purpose of an industrial project, as defined in Section 3
 8    of this Act.  For the purposes of such program and not by way
 9    of limitation on any other  program  of  the  Authority,  the
10    Authority  shall  have  the  power  to issue bonds, notes, or
11    other evidences of indebtedness  including  commercial  paper
12    for purposes of providing a fund of capital from which it may
13    make  such  loans.  The Authority shall have power to use any
14    appropriations  from  the  State  made  especially  for   the
15    Authority's  Direct  Loan  Program  for additional capital to
16    make such loans or for  the  purposes  of  reserve  funds  or
17    pledged  funds  which  secure  the Authority's obligations of
18    repayment of any bond, note or  other  form  of  indebtedness
19    established for the purpose of providing capital for which it
20    intends  to  make  such  loans under the Direct Loan Program.
21    For the purpose of obtaining such capital, the Authority  may
22    also  enter  into  agreements with financial institutions and
23    other persons for the purpose of selling loans and developing
24    a secondary market for such loans.
25        Loans made under the Direct Loan Program  may  be  in  an
26    amount not to exceed $300,000 and shall be made for a portion
27    of  an  industrial  project  which does not exceed 50% of the
28    total project.  No loan may be made by the  Authority  unless
29    approved by the affirmative vote of at least 8 members of the
30    board.   The Authority shall establish procedures and publish
31    rules which shall provide for  the  submission,  review,  and
32    analysis  of  each  direct  loan  application and which shall
33    preserve the  ability  of  each  board  member  to  reach  an
34    individual  business  judgment  regarding  the  propriety  of
SB1704 Enrolled            -17-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    making  each  direct  loan.  The collective discretion of the
 2    board  to  approve  or  disapprove   each   loan   shall   be
 3    unencumbered.
 4        The  Authority  may  establish  and collect such fees and
 5    charges, determine and enforce such terms and conditions, and
 6    charge such interest rates as it determines to  be  necessary
 7    and  appropriate  to  the  successful  administration  of the
 8    Direct  Loan  Program.   The  Authority  may   require   such
 9    interests  in collateral and such guarantees as it determines
10    are necessary to protect  the  Authority's  interest  in  the
11    repayment  of  the  principal  and interest of each loan made
12    under the Direct Loan Program.
13        (s)  The Authority may guarantee private loans  to  third
14    parties  up  to a specified dollar amount in order to promote
15    economic development in this State.
16        (t)  The Authority may adopt rules and regulations as may
17    be necessary or advisable to implement the  powers  conferred
18    by this Act.
19        (u)  In  addition  to  any other bonds authorized by this
20    Act, the Authority shall  have  the  power  to  issue  up  to
21    $20,000,000   in   bonds,   notes   or   other  evidences  of
22    indebtedness, which may be used to make  loans  to  units  of
23    local  government  which  are  authorized  to enter into loan
24    agreements and other documents and to issue bonds, notes  and
25    other  evidences of indebtedness for the purpose of financing
26    the protection of storm sewer outfalls, the  construction  of
27    adequate  storm  sewer  outfalls, and the provision for flood
28    protection of sanitary sewage treatment plants,  in  counties
29    that   have  established  a  stormwater  management  planning
30    committee in accordance with Section 5-1062 of  the  Counties
31    Code.  Any  such loan shall be made by the Authority pursuant
32    to the provisions of Sections 7.50 to 7.61 of this Act.   The
33    unit  of local government shall pay back to the Authority the
34    principal amount   of  the  loan,  plus  annual  interest  as
SB1704 Enrolled            -18-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    determined  by  the  Authority.  The Authority shall have the
 2    power, subject to appropriations by the General Assembly,  to
 3    subsidize  or  buy  down  a  portion  of the interest on such
 4    loans, up to 4% per annum.
 5        (v)  The  Authority  may  accept  security  interests  as
 6    provided in Sections 11-3 and 11-3.3 of the  Illinois  Public
 7    Aid Code.
 8        (w)  The   Authority   may   enter   into  agreements  or
 9    arrangements with Federal or State agencies to carry out  the
10    purposes of this Act.
11        (x)  The  Authority  may  use any funds in its possession
12    remaining unexpended  from  the  funds  appropriated  to  the
13    Authority  under Section 93 of Public Act 84-1108 as follows:
14    (1) to make a $1,000,000 ten-year, no-interest  loan  to  the
15    Illinois  Facilities  Fund  to  assist  in the development of
16    low-interest loans to nonprofit organizations; and (2) if and
17    only if the loan described in item (1) has been made, for any
18    of its general corporate purposes.

21        Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary,
22    the General Assembly hereby authorizes the use of such  funds
23    for the purposes set forth in this Section.
24        These  provisions do not apply to funds classified by the
25    Comptroller as federal trust funds or State trust funds.  The
26    Audit Expense Fund may receive  transfers  from  those  trust
27    funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the
28    terms of the trust fund agreement.  The Auditor General shall
29    notify  the  trustees of those funds of the estimated cost of
30    the audit to be incurred under the  Illinois  State  Auditing
31    Act  for  the fund.  The trustees of those funds shall direct
32    the State Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the estimated
33    amount to the Audit Expense Fund.
34        The Auditor  General  may  bill  entities  that  are  not
SB1704 Enrolled            -26-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    subject  to  the above transfer provisions, including private
 2    entities, related organizations and entities whose funds  are
 3    locally-held,   for   the   cost   of  audits,  studies,  and
 4    investigations  incurred  on  their  behalf.   Any   revenues
 5    received  under  this  provision  shall be deposited into the
 6    Audit Expense Fund.
 7        In the event that moneys  on  deposit  in  any  fund  are
 8    unavailable,  by  reason  of  deficiency  or any other reason
 9    preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall
10    order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer  the
11    amount  deficient  or  otherwise unavailable from the General
12    Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund.
13        On or before  December  1,  1992,  and  each  December  1
14    thereafter,  the  Auditor  General shall notify the Bureau of
15    the Budget of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for
16    audits, studies, and investigations in  accordance  with  the
17    Illinois State Auditing Act during the next succeeding fiscal
18    year   for   each   State   fund  for  which  a  transfer  or
19    reimbursement is anticipated.
20        Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and  during  each  fiscal
21    year  thereafter,  the  Auditor  General may direct the State
22    Comptroller and  Treasurer  to  transfer  moneys  from  funds
23    authorized  by  the  General  Assembly for that fund.  In the
24    event funds, including federal  and  State  trust  funds  but
25    excluding  the  General Revenue Fund, are transferred, during
26    fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal year  thereafter,  in
27    excess  of  the  amount  to  pay actual costs attributable to
28    audits, studies, and investigations as permitted or  required
29    by  the Illinois State Auditing Act or specific action of the
30    General Assembly, the Auditor General shall, on September 30,
31    or as soon thereafter as is  practicable,  direct  the  State
32    Comptroller  and Treasurer to transfer the excess amount back
33    to the fund from which it was originally transferred.

 3        Sec.  6z-45.  The School Infrastructure Fund.  The School
 4    Infrastructure Fund is created as a special fund in the State
 5    Treasury.  Subject to the transfer provisions set forth below
 6    appropriation, money in the School Infrastructure Fund shall,
 7    if  and  when  the  State  of  Illinois  incurs  any   bonded
 8    indebtedness  for  the  construction  of  school improvements
 9    under the School Construction Act, be set aside and used  for
10    the  purpose of paying and discharging annually the principal
11    and  interest  on  that  bonded  indebtedness  then  due  and
12    payable, and for no other  purpose.   In  addition  to  other
13    transfers  to  the  General  Obligation  Bond  Retirement and
14    Interest Fund made pursuant to  Section  15  of  the  General
15    Obligation  Bond  Act, upon each delivery of bonds issued for
16    construction  of  school  improvements   under   the   School
17    Construction  Act,  the  State  Comptroller shall compute and
18    certify to the State Treasurer the total amount of  principal
19    of,  interest  on,  and premium, if any, on such bonds during
20    the then current and each  succeeding  fiscal  year.   On  or
21    before  the  last  day of each month, the State Treasurer and
22    State   Comptroller   shall   transfer   from   the    School
23    Infrastructure Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement
24    and  Interest  Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate
25    of the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the
26    bonds payable on their next  payment  date,  divided  by  the
27    number  of  monthly  transfers  occurring  between  the  last
28    previous  payment  date  (or  the delivery date if no payment
29    date has yet occurred) and the next succeeding payment date.
30        The surplus, if any, in the  School  Infrastructure  Fund
31    after  the  payment  of principal and interest on that bonded
32    indebtedness   then   annually   due   shall,   subject    to
33    appropriation, be used as follows:

 9        When any tax imposed herein terminates or has terminated,
10    distributors who have bought stamps while  such  tax  was  in
11    effect  and who therefore paid such tax, but who can show, to
12    the Department's satisfaction, that they sold the  cigarettes
13    to  which  they  affixed  such  stamps  after  such  tax  had
14    terminated and did not recover the tax or its equivalent from
15    purchasers, shall be allowed by the Department to take credit
16    for  such absorbed tax against subsequent tax stamp purchases
17    from the Department by such distributor.
18        The impact of the tax levied by this Act is imposed  upon
19    the  retailer  and  shall  be prepaid or pre-collected by the
20    distributor for the purpose of convenience and facility only,
21    and the amount of the tax shall be added to the price of  the
22    cigarettes  sold  by  such distributor. Collection of the tax
23    shall be evidenced by a  stamp  or  stamps  affixed  to  each
24    original package of cigarettes, as hereinafter provided.
25        Each  distributor shall collect the tax from the retailer
26    at or before the time of the sale, shall affix the stamps  as
27    hereinafter  required, and shall remit the tax collected from
28    retailers to the Department,  as  hereinafter  provided.  Any
29    distributor  who  fails  to  properly collect and pay the tax
30    imposed by  this  Act  shall  be  liable  for  the  tax.  Any
31    distributor  having  cigarettes  to  which  stamps  have been
32    affixed in his possession for sale on the effective  date  of
33    this  amendatory Act of 1989 shall not be required to pay the
34    additional tax imposed by this amendatory Act of 1989 on such
SB1704 Enrolled            -39-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    stamped cigarettes.  Any  distributor  having  cigarettes  to
 2    which  stamps  have been affixed in his or her possession for
 3    sale at 12:01 a.m. on the effective date of  this  amendatory
 4    Act of 1993, is required to pay the additional tax imposed by
 5    this amendatory Act of 1993 on such stamped cigarettes.  This
 6    payment,  less the discount provided in subsection (b), shall
 7    be due  when  the  distributor  first  makes  a  purchase  of
 8    cigarette  tax  stamps  after  the  effective  date  of  this
 9    amendatory  Act of 1993, or on the first due date of a return
10    under this Act after the effective date  of  this  amendatory
11    Act  of 1993, whichever occurs first.  Any distributor having
12    cigarettes  to  which  stamps  have  been  affixed   in   his
13    possession  for  sale  on  December  15,  1997  shall  not be
14    required to pay the additional tax imposed by this amendatory
15    Act of 1997 on such stamped cigarettes.
16        The amount of the Cigarette Tax imposed by this Act shall
17    be separately stated, apart from the price of the  goods,  by
18    both distributors and retailers, in all advertisements, bills
19    and sales invoices.
20        (b)  The  distributor  shall  be  required to collect the
21    taxes provided under paragraph (a) hereof, and, to cover  the
22    costs  of such collection, shall be allowed a discount during
23    any year commencing July 1st and ending  the  following  June
24    30th  in  accordance  with  the schedule set out hereinbelow,
25    which discount shall be allowed at the time  of  purchase  of
26    the  stamps  when purchase is required by this Act, or at the
27    time when the tax is remitted to the Department  without  the
28    purchase  of  stamps  from the Department when that method of
29    paying the tax is required or authorized by this Act.   Prior
30    to December 1, 1985, a discount equal to 1 2/3% of the amount
31    of  the  tax  up  to  and  including  the first $700,000 paid
32    hereunder by such distributor to the  Department  during  any
33    such  year;  1  1/3%  of the next $700,000 of tax or any part
34    thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor to the Department
SB1704 Enrolled            -40-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    during any such year; 1% of the next $700,000 of tax, or  any
 2    part  thereof,  paid  hereunder  by  such  distributor to the
 3    Department during any such year, and 2/3 of 1% of the  amount
 4    of  any  additional tax paid hereunder by such distributor to
 5    the Department during any such year shall apply. On and after
 6    December 1, 1985, a discount equal to 1.75% of the amount  of
 7    the  tax payable under this Act up to and including the first
 8    $3,000,000  paid  hereunder  by  such  distributor   to   the
 9    Department during any such year and 1.5% of the amount of any
10    additional  tax  paid  hereunder  by  such distributor to the
11    Department during any such year shall apply.
12        Two or more distributors  that  use  a  common  means  of
13    affixing  revenue  tax stamps or that are owned or controlled
14    by  the  same  interests  shall  be  treated  as   a   single
15    distributor for the purpose of computing the discount.
16        (c)  The  taxes  herein  imposed  are  in addition to all
17    other occupation or privilege taxes imposed by the  State  of
18    Illinois,  or by any political subdivision thereof, or by any
19    municipal corporation.

25        Section 45.  If and only if Senate Bill 1338 of the  90th
26    General  Assembly  becomes  law  in  the form in which it was
27    introduced, the Public Community College Act  is  amended  by
28    changing Section 2-16.02 as follows:
29        (110 ILCS 805/2-16.02) (from Ch. 122, par. 102-16.02)
30        Sec.  2-16.02.  Grants.   Any  community college district
31    that maintains a community college recognized  by  the  State
32    Board shall receive, when eligible, grants enumerated in this
SB1704 Enrolled            -42-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    Section.   Funded  semester credit hours or other measures or
 2    both as specified  by  the  State  Board  shall  be  used  to
 3    distribute  grants  to  community  colleges.  Funded semester
 4    credit hours shall be defined, for purposes of this  Section,
 5    as the greater of (1) the number of semester credit hours, or
 6    equivalent,   in   all  funded  instructional  categories  of
 7    students who have been certified as being  in  attendance  at
 8    midterm  during  the respective terms of the base fiscal year
 9    or (2) the average of semester credit hours,  or  equivalent,
10    in  all  funded instructional categories of students who have
11    been certified as being in attendance at midterm  during  the
12    respective  terms  of  the  base  fiscal year and the 2 prior
13    fiscal years.  For purposes of  this  Section,  "base  fiscal
14    year"  means the fiscal year 2 years prior to the fiscal year
15    for which the grants are appropriated.  Such  students  shall
16    have  been residents of Illinois and shall have been enrolled
17    in courses that are part of instructional program  categories
18    approved by the State Board and that are applicable toward an
19    associate  degree  or  certificate.  Courses are not eligible
20    for reimbursement where  the  district  receives  federal  or
21    State  financing  or both, except financing through the State
22    Board, for  50%  or  more  of  the  program  costs  with  the
23    exception  of courses offered by contract with the Department
24    of Corrections in correctional institutions.  Base  operating
25    grants  shall  be  paid  based  on  rates per funded semester
26    credit hour or equivalent calculated by the State  Board  for
27    funded  instructional  categories  using cost of instruction,
28    enrollment, inflation, and other relevant factors. A  portion
29    of  the  base operating grant shall be allocated on the basis
30    of non-residential gross square footage of  space  maintained
31    by the district.
32        Equalization  grants  shall  be  calculated  by the State
33    Board by determining a local revenue factor for each district
34    by:   (A)  adding  (1)  each  district's  Corporate  Personal
SB1704 Enrolled            -43-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    Property Replacement Fund allocations from  the  base  fiscal
 2    year  or  the average of the base fiscal year and prior year,
 3    whichever  is  less,  divided  by  the  applicable  statewide
 4    average tax rate to (2) the district's most recently  audited
 5    year's  equalized  assessed  valuation  or the average of the
 6    most recently audited year and prior year, whichever is less,
 7    (B)  then  dividing  by  the  district's  audited   full-time
 8    equivalent  resident students for the base fiscal year or the
 9    average for the base  fiscal year  and  the  2  prior  fiscal
10    years,  whichever is greater, and (C) then multiplying by the
11    applicable statewide average tax rate.  The State Board shall
12    calculate a statewide weighted average threshold by  applying
13    the   same  methodology  to  the  totals  of  all  districts'
14    Corporate Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund allocations,
15    equalized  assessed   valuations,   and   audited   full-time
16    equivalent  district resident students and multiplying by the
17    applicable  statewide  average  tax  rate.   The   difference
18    between  the  statewide  weighted  average  threshold and the
19    local revenue factor, multiplied by the number  of  full-time
20    equivalent  resident  students, shall determine the amount of
21    equalization  funding  that  each  district  is  eligible  to
22    receive.  A percentage factor, as  determined  by  the  State
23    Board,  may be applied to the statewide threshold as a method
24    for allocating equalization funding.  A minimum  equalization
25    grant  of  an  amount per district as determined by the State
26    Board shall be established for any community college district
27    which qualifies for an  equalization  grant  based  upon  the
28    preceding  criteria,  but becomes ineligible for equalization
29    funding, or would have received a  grant  of  less  than  the
30    minimum  equalization  grant,  due  to  threshold  prorations
31    applied  to reduce equalization funding.  As of July 1, 1997,
32    community college districts must maintain a minimum  required
33    in-district   tuition   rate  per  semester  credit  hour  as
34    determined by the State Board.  For each fiscal year  between
SB1704 Enrolled            -44-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    July  1,  1997  and  June 30, 2001, districts not meeting the
 2    minimum required rate will be subject to a percent  reduction
 3    of equalization funding as determined by the State Board.  As
 4    of  July  1,  2001,  districts must meet the required minimum
 5    in-district tuition rate to qualify for equalization funding.
 6        The State Board shall distribute such other grants as may
 7    be authorized or appropriated by the General Assembly.
 8        Each community college district entitled to State  grants
 9    under  this Section must submit a report of its enrollment to
10    the State Board not later than 30 days following the  end  of
11    each semester, quarter, or term in a format prescribed by the
12    State  Board.   These  semester  credit hours, or equivalent,
13    shall be certified by each district on forms provided by  the
14    State  Board.   Each  district's  certified  semester  credit
15    hours,  or  equivalent,  are  subject  to  audit  pursuant to
16    Section 3-22.1.
17        The State Board shall certify, prepare, and submit to the
18    State Comptroller during August, November, February, and  May
19    of each fiscal year vouchers setting forth an amount equal to
20    25%  of  the  grants  approved  by  the  State Board for base
21    operating grants and equalization grants.   The  State  Board
22    shall  prepare  and  submit to the State Comptroller vouchers
23    for payments of other grants as appropriated by  the  General
24    Assembly.  If the amount appropriated for grants is different
25    from  the amount provided for such grants under this Act, the
26    grants  shall  be  proportionately   reduced   or   increased
27    accordingly.
28        For  the  purposes  of  this  Section, "resident student"
29    means a student in a community college district who maintains
30    residency  in  that  district  or   meets   other   residency
31    definitions  established  by  the  State  Board,  and who was
32    enrolled either in one of the approved instructional  program
33    categories  in that district, or in another community college
34    district to which the resident's district is  paying  tuition
SB1704 Enrolled            -45-                LRB9011518MWpc
 1    under  Section  6-2 or with which the resident's district has
 2    entered into a cooperative agreement in lieu of such tuition.
 3        For  the  purposes  of   this   Section,   a   "full-time
 4    equivalent" student is equal to 30 semester credit hours.
 5        The Illinois Community College Board Contracts and Grants
 6    Fund  is  hereby  created  in  the  State Treasury.  Items of
 7    income  to  this  fund  shall  include  any  grants,  awards,
 8    endowments, or like proceeds, and  where  appropriate,  other
 9    funds  made  available  through  contracts with governmental,
10    public,  and  private  agencies  or  persons.   The   General
11    Assembly  shall from time to time make appropriations payable
12    from such fund for the support, improvement, and expenses  of
13    the State Board and Illinois community college districts.
