Creates the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Act and amends the Freedom of Information Act. Establishes the Illinois prepaid tuition program under which a purchaser enters into and makes the payments required under a prepaid tuition contract in order to provide a higher education for the beneficiary of the contract. The contractual payments must be made in advance of enrollment and assure payment upon the beneficiary's enrollment in a public university or community college of tuition and fee costs for the number of credit hours purchased under the contract. Provides for administration of the program by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission in conjunction with a 3-member board. Specifies provisions required to be included in the prepaid tuition contracts. Provides for deposit of contract payments into the Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund. Requires the tuition and fee payments due under the contracts to be made from the Trust Fund. Makes the contracts general obligations of the State and provides for continuing appropriations to discharge those obligations if moneys in the Trust Fund are insufficient. Contains other related provisions, including provisions under which information relating to the purchasers and qualified beneficiaries of prepaid tuition contracts is exempted from inspection, copying or disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Effective immediately. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes provisions in the engrossed bill that create a Prepaid Tuition Review Board and provides for the performance of what were to be the responsibilities of that Board by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission or an advisory panel. Provides that the advisory panel shall give advice and counsel to the Commission, which is to administer the prepaid tuition program. Provides that the advisory panel shall consist of 7 members appointed by the Commission, including one recommended by the State Treasurer, one recommended by the State Comptroller, one recommended by the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, and one recommended by the Executive Director of the Board of Higher Education. Revises the definition of a MAP-eligible institution. Provides that the start-up period for the program (during which administrative costs are to be paid by appropriations from the General Revenue Fund) shall be up to 18 months (instead of 12 months). Provides that each appropriation constitutes a loan that is to be repaid to the General Revenue Fund within 5 years by the Commission from prepaid tuition program contributions. Revises provisions relative to the conversion of prepaid tuition contract benefits for use at an out-of-state college or university and provides that the benefits of such a contract may not be used at for-profit educational institutions that are located outside of Illinois.
