4 | following: | ||||||
5 | " (f) Subject to available funding, the Illinois Department
| ||||||
6 | of Corrections shall conduct a study of the impact of sealing,
| ||||||
7 | especially on employment and recidivism rates, utilizing a
| ||||||
8 | random sample of those who apply for the sealing of their
| ||||||
9 | criminal records under Public Act 93-211. At the request of the | ||||||
10 | Illinois
Department of Corrections, records of the Illinois | ||||||
11 | Department
of Employment Security shall be utilized as | ||||||
12 | appropriate to
assist in the study. The study shall not | ||||||
13 | disclose any data in a
manner that would allow the | ||||||
14 | identification of any particular
individual or employing unit. | ||||||
15 | The study shall be made available
to the General Assembly no | ||||||
16 | later than September 1, 2008. | ||||||
17 | (g) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
18 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
2 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
3 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
4 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
5 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
6 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
7 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
8 | and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the | ||||||
9 | General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
10 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
11 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
12 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
13 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
14 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
15 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this subsection (g), | ||||||
16 | "rules" is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and | ||||||
18 | "agency head" are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 | ||||||
19 | and 1-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the | ||||||
20 | extent that such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads | ||||||
21 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor. ".
