    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4401 on page 4, 
3
after line 5, by inserting the following:


 
4
    "Section 20. No authority to make or promulgate rules.  
5
Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may exist, 
6
neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the 
7
jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or 
8
promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this 
9
Act.  If, however, the Governor believes that rules are 
10
necessary to implement or enforce the provisions of this Act, 
11
the Governor may suggest rules to the General Assembly by 
12
filing them with the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the 
13
Senate and by requesting that the General Assembly authorize 
14
such rulemaking by law, enact those suggested rules into law, 
15
or take any other appropriate action in the General Assembly's 
16
discretion.   Nothing contained in this Act shall be interpreted 
17
to grant rulemaking authority under any other Illinois statute
