Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Alternate  Fuels  Act.   Changes  the  definition  of      
   "covered  area".  Extends  the  ethanol  fuel  research  program until

   promulgate   rules   concerning  user  fees.   Removes  the  provision      
   requiring the Advisory Board to prepare and recommend  to  the  Agency      
   rules  implementing  the  ethanol  fuel research program.  Extends the      
   time during which  a  person  may  apply  for  certain  rebates  until      
   calendar  year  2002.    Deletes provisions concerning application for      
   those rebates prior to 1997. Provides that the Office of the Secretary      
   of State shall collect user fees through calendar year  2002.  Removes

   1999. Provides that the user fee may be collected  only  for  vehicles      
   registered  in  the  covered area (now registered or primarily used in      
   the covered area).  Provides that owners of vehicles registered  under      
   the  International Registration Plan are exempt from paying user fees.      
   Provides that moneys from the Alternate Fuels Fund may be appropriated      
   to the Office of the Secretary  of  State  to  pay  for  its  cost  of      
   administering programs under the Act.  Effective immediately.               
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides for the Ethanol Fuel Research Program to be administered      
   by the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs  rather  than  the      
   Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.                                   
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.

   fuel research program.                                                      
          FISCAL NOTE (Secretary of State)                                     
          SB 1840 can be accommodated within SOS proposed FY'99 budget         
          and by the additional funds authorized in the bill to offset         
          the costs of administering the program.                              
          STATE MANDATES ACT FISCAL NOTE                                       
          Fails to create a State mandate.                                     
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          The bill fails to preempt home rule authority.

          JUDICIAL NOTE
