Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act and the State Finance Act. Provides that, when a person files an "Employer Report Form" (PC-1) with the Department of Human Rights as specified to establish eligibility to be awarded a contract by a State agency, the person must pay a registration fee in an amount determined by the Department by rule. Provides that a person must also pay a registration fee in an amount determined by the Department by rule when the person files for renewal of eligibility. Provides that the fees shall be paid into the Department of Human Rights Special Fund, a new special fund. Provides that moneys in the Fund shall be used solely to fund the Department's public contract compliance monitoring program and other Department programs and activities. Effective January 1, 2009.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes language providing that the Department of Human Rights shall determine the amount of the registration fee by rule. Provides that neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any rulemaking authority under the amendatory Act, but that the Governor may suggest rules by filing them with the General Assembly and requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact the suggested rules into law, or take other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion.

 Fiscal Note (Dept. of Human Rights)
 Revenue: 5000 filings @ $75.00 (recommended rate) = $375,000; 1 Office Coordinator = $35,000; Net Yearly Proceeds = $340,000.

House Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
30 ILCS 105/8h

Deletes everything after the enacting clause and re-inserts the contents of the bill, as amended by House Amendment No. 1, with the following additions: amends the State Finance Act to provide that moneys in the Department of Human Rights Special Fund are not subject to transfer to the General Revenue Fund; and amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to provide that the registration fee for filing an Employer Report Form is $75, and that the Department of Human Rights Special Fund is not subject to sweeps, administrative charges or charge-backs, or any other fiscal or budgetary maneuver that would in any way transfer any funds from the Fund into any other fund of the State.
