Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Illinois Farm Products Economic Development Act.           
   Provides that the Director of Agriculture shall make cash payments to       
   Illinois grain processors that use corn to make ethyl alcohol and           
   other products. Sets the amount of payment at 30 cents per bushel for       
   each bushel used in a grain-processing center that began production         
   after January 1, 2001. Provides that payments may be made only during       
   the first 5 years of operation. Establishes a claims procedure and          
   requires  audits  of  the  claims  made.   Requires  the Department of      
   Agriculture to promulgate emergency and permanent rules  to  implement      
   the  Act.   Provides  that  the Act is repealed on January 1, 2010, at      
   which time the remaining  unobligated  balance  shall  revert  to  the      
   General Revenue Fund.  Makes other provisions.  Effective immediately.

   payments under the Illinois Farm Products Economic Development Act  to      
   processors in this State that use corn to make ethyl alcohol and other      
   alternative  fuels  made  with corn-based products (now, to make ethyl      
   alcohol and other products).  Sets  a  cap  of  $6,000,000  for  total
