19 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
20 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
21 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
22 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
23 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
24 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||

6 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
7 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
8 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
9 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||

18 | changing Section 14 as follows:

6 | provides
emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a member | ||||||
7 | of the physical fitness

8 | liable for his act or omission in
providing such resuscitation, | ||||||
9 | unless such act or omission was willful or

10 | in Section 17 of the "Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Systems | ||||||
11 | Act", as now or hereafter amended.
| ||||||
12 | (c) For the purposes of this Section, the term "physical | ||||||
13 | fitness

| ||||||
14 | physical fitness services to the public. A "physical fitness | ||||||
15 | center"
