represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Public Safety Agency Network Act is |
amended by changing Sections 15, 20, 30, and 35 as follows:

Sec. 15. Partnership established. A not-for-profit |
corporation to be known as "Illinois Public Safety Agency |
Network" shall be created. IPSAN shall be incorporated under |
the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of 1986 and shall be |
registered, incorporated, organized, and operated in |
compliance with the laws of this State. IPSAN shall not be a |
State agency but shall have statewide jurisdiction to fulfill |
the findings and purpose declared in Section 10. The General |
Assembly determines, however, that public policy dictates that |
IPSAN operate in the most open and accessible manner consistent |
with its public purpose. To this end, the General Assembly |
specifically declares that IPSAN and its Board and Advisory |
Committee shall adopt and adhere to the provisions of the |
General Not for Profit Corporation Act of 1986 and related |
regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State, the Open |
Meetings Act, the State Records Act, and the Freedom of |
Information Act.
IPSAN shall establish one or more corporate |
|
offices as determined by the Board.
