STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1,2 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) This legislation creates a local government organization and structure mandate for which reimbursement of the increased costs to units of local government is not required under the State Mandates Act. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1,2 (Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) This legislation will not incur a fiscal impact on DCCA. The fiscal impact on Cook County, the City of Chicago, and other units of local government which already have a wage garnish- ment system in place would be negligible. In order for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District to implement a collec- tion system authorized by the legislation, it would be neces- sary for it to dedicate sufficient funds for start-up costs and ensure that appropriate financial and administrative controls are in place. Therefore, due to the nature of the the legislation, an estimate of the costs incurred by units of local government cannot be determined at this time. 00-02-07 H FIRST READING 00-02-07 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 00-02-09 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE LABOR COMERCE 00-02-16 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-LABOR-CMRC H 00-02-16 H ADOPTED 00-02-16 H MOTION DO PASS AS AMENDED-LOST 008-007-000 HLBC 00-02-16 H REMAINS IN COMMITTEE LABOR COMERCE 00-02-17 H DO PASS AS AMENDED/STANDARD DEBATE 009-008-000 HLBC 00-02-17 H PLACED CAL 2ND READING-STANDARD DEBATE 00-02-17 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR LANG 00-02-22 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED AS AMENDED TENHOUSE 00-02-22 H STATE MNDT FISCAL NOTE RQSTD AS AMENDED TENHOUSE 00-02-22 H SECOND READING-STANDARD DEBATE 00-02-22 H HELD CAL ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 00-02-23 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-ACEVEDO 00-02-23 H AMENDMENT REFERRED TO HRUL 00-02-23 H HELD CAL ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 00-02-24 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-ACEVEDO 00-02-24 H RECOMMENDS BE ADOPTED HRUL/004-000-000 00-02-24 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-ACEVEDO 00-02-24 H ADOPTED 078-032-002 00-02-24 H HELD CAL ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 00-03-01 H STATE MNDT FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND 1&2 00-03-01 H FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND 1&2 00-03-01 H HELD CAL ORDER 2ND READING-STANDARD DBT 00-03-02 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-STNDRD DEBATE 00-03-03 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 01-01-09 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
