the school | ||||||
14 | or other entity shall be alerted to the fact that the record is | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

as to the whereabouts of any | ||||||
3 | missing person. Upon notification by the
Department that the | ||||||
4 | missing person has been recovered, the school or other entity
| ||||||
5 | shall
remove the flag from the person's record.
| ||||||
6 | (b) (1) For every child enrolled Upon enrollment of a child | ||||||
7 | for the first time in a particular
elementary or secondary | ||||||
8 | school, public or private preschool educational program, | ||||||
9 | public or private child care facility licensed under the Child | ||||||
10 | Care Act of 1969, or day care home or group day care home | ||||||
11 | licensed under the Child Care Act of 1969, that school or other | ||||||

15 | reliable
proof, as determined by the Department, of the child's | ||||||
16 | identity and age
and an affidavit explaining the inability to | ||||||
17 | produce a copy of the birth
certificate. Other reliable proof | ||||||
18 | of the child's identity and age shall
include a passport, visa | ||||||
19 | or other governmental documentation of the child's
identity. | ||||||
20 | Once a school or other entity has obtained a copy of a | ||||||
21 | certified copy of a child's birth certificate as required under | ||||||
22 | item (i) of this subdivision (b)(1), the school or other entity | ||||||
23 | need not request or obtain another such copy with respect to | ||||||
24 | that child for any other year in which the child is enrolled in | ||||||
25 | that school or other entity.
| ||||||
26 | (2) Upon the failure of a person enrolling a child

notify the person | ||||||

additional days | ||||||

8 | subsection which appears inaccurate or suspicious
in form or | ||||||
9 | content.

11 | elementary or
secondary school shall request directly from the | ||||||
12 | student's previous school
a certified copy of his record. The | ||||||
13 | requesting school shall exercise due
diligence in obtaining the | ||||||
14 | copy of the record requested. Any elementary
or secondary | ||||||
15 | school requested to forward a copy of a transferring student's
| ||||||
16 | record to the new school shall comply within 10 days of receipt | ||||||
17 | of the
request unless the record has been flagged pursuant to | ||||||
18 | subsection (a), in
which case the copy shall not be forwarded | ||||||
19 | and the requested school shall
notify the Department or local | ||||||
20 | law enforcement authority of the request.
| ||||||
21 | (d) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
22 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
23 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
24 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
25 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
26 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
2 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
3 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
4 | and Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | ||||||
5 | Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
6 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
7 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
8 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
9 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
10 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
11 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
12 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
13 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
14 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
15 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
17 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
18 | jurisdiction of the Governor. | ||||||

20 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
21 | becoming law.".
