Short description: 
SCH LUNCH APPLICANT INFO-IDPA                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the School Code and the School Breakfast and Lunch Program      
   Act.  Requires nonpublic  schools  that  receive  funds  for  free  or      
   reduced-price lunches under the School Breakfast and Lunch Program Act      
   and  public  school  boards to agree in writing with the Department of      
   Public Aid to share with the Department information on applicants  for      
   free   or   reduced-price  lunches.   Provides  that  the  sharing  of      
   information shall be for the sole purpose of  helping  the  Department      
   identify  and  enroll children in the State Medical Assistance Program      
   or the State Children's Health Insurance Program or  both  as  allowed      
   and  under  the restrictions set forth in federal law.  Effective July      
   1, 2001.                                                                    
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything after  the  enacting  clause.   Reinserts  the      
   contents  of  the  bill with the following changes.  Provides that the      
   requirement that  a  private  school  or  public  school  board  share      
   information  with the Department of Public Aid is subject to a request      
   by the Department.  Provides  that  a  school  board  shall,  whenever      
   requested  by  the Department, require each of its schools to agree in      
   writing with the Department to share information with the  Department.      
   Removes  the  provision  prohibiting the State Board of Education from      
   providing reimbursement to  a  private  school  that  does  not  share      
   information with the Department of Public Aid.                              
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          105 ILCS 5/2-3.131 new                                               
          105 ILCS 5/3-14                 from Ch. 122, par. 3-14              
          105 ILCS 5/3-14.29 new                                               
        Requires  the  State  Board  of  Education   and   the   regional      
   superintendent  of  schools to each agree to share with the Department      
   of Public Aid information on  applicants  for  free  or  reduced-price      
   lunches.                                                                    
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1,2 (State Board of Education)                     
          As amended by H-ams 1 and 2, HB 1050 mandates school districts       
          and schools to share certain information with DPA. All school        
          districts may not have this information in the format requested      
          by DPA. School districts may have to devote several hours or         
          days of clerical or programming help to be able to provide this      
          information. It is unclear how much this will cost but it is         
          not expected to be a great deal per district or school.              
          STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1,2 (State Board of Education)             
          Same as SBE fiscal note.                                             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 3.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          105 ILCS 5/22-27 new                                                 
        Provides that before an entity  shares  with  the  Department  of      
   Public  Aid  information  on an applicant, that entity must obtain the      
   consent of the applicant's parent or legal guardian.
