 4        Section  5.  The  Intergovernmental  Cooperation  Act  is
 5    amended by changing Section 3 as follows:

 6        (5 ILCS 220/3) (from Ch. 127, par. 743)
 7        Sec.  3.  Intergovernmental  cooperation.  Any  power  or
 8    powers, privileges,  functions,  or  authority  exercised  or
 9    which  may  be exercised by a public agency of this State may
10    be exercised, combined, transferred, and enjoyed jointly with
11    any other public agency of this State and  jointly  with  any
12    public  agency  of any other state or of the United States to
13    the extent that laws of such other state  or  of  the  United
14    States do not prohibit joint exercise or enjoyment and except
15    where  specifically  and  expressly  prohibited  by law. This
16    includes, but is not limited to, (i) arrangements between the
17    Illinois Student Assistance Commission and agencies in  other
18    states  which issue professional licenses and (ii) agreements
19    between the Illinois Department  of  Public  Aid  and  public
20    agencies  for  the  establishment  and  enforcement  of child
21    support orders and for the exchange of information  that  may
22    be  necessary  for  the  enforcement  of  those child support
23    orders.  It is not intended that any task force,  cooperative
24    group,  or delivery of services created under this Act become
25    a separate suable entity. This Act does not contemplate  that
26    any  task  force,  cooperative  group,  or  service  delivery
27    created  under  this Act become a separate suable entity.  It
28    is not  the  intention  of  this  Act  to  create  additional
29    liability  exposure for the individual agencies participating
30    in any task force, cooperative  group,  or  service  delivery
31    created pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement authorized
 
                            -2-      LRB093 06278 JAM 06391 b
