| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5621 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following: | ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section | ||||||
5 | 2-3.148 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (105 ILCS 5/2-3.148 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 2-3.148. International Baccalaureate Organization | ||||||
8 | course incentive. | ||||||
9 | (a) In this Section: | ||||||
10 | "International baccalaureate course" means a high school | ||||||
11 | level preparatory course for an international baccalaureate | ||||||
12 | examination that incorporates each topic specified by the | ||||||
13 | International Baccalaureate Organization on its standard | ||||||
14 | syllabus for a particular subject area. | ||||||
15 | (b) Subject to appropriation and based on need as | ||||||
16 | determined by the State Board of Education, the State Board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall reimburse the costs of providing an international | ||||||
2 | baccalaureate course to a school that provides such a course | ||||||
3 | and shall reimburse diploma costs for each student who | ||||||
4 | graduates through the International Baccalaureate | ||||||
5 | Organization's Diploma Program. | ||||||
6 | (c) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
7 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
8 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
9 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
10 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
11 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
12 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
13 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
14 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
15 | and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the | ||||||
16 | General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
17 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
18 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
19 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
20 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
21 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
22 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
23 | the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning | ||||||
24 | contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
25 | Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the | ||||||
26 | meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such | ||||||
2 | definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the | ||||||
3 | jurisdiction of the Governor. ".
