Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. Defines "excluded power of attorney" to include powers of attorney given primarily for various business, commercial, and governmental purposes. Provides that designated portions of the Act (concerning standard of care and recordkeeping, agency-court relationship, and other matters) do not apply to an excluded power of attorney. Provides that an excluded power of attorney is not revoked by a subsequent power of attorney; it may only be revoked by the mechanism provided in the excluded power of attorney itself, or by a written instrument that makes specific reference to the excluded power of attorney being revoked. Includes a nonacceleration provision.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. In the definition of "excluded power of attorney", adds as one of the meanings: a power of attorney that authorizes a financial institution or its employee to act as an investment manager, with a third-party serving as the custodian of the cash, securities, commodities, or other financial assets on behalf of the principal.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Proposes to further amend the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. Deletes from the definition of "excluded power of attorney" 3 types of powers of attorney: a power given primarily for a commercial purpose; a power coupled with an interest in the subject of the power; and a power created pursuant to a federal or State statute. Deletes provision that made portions of this Act inapplicable to an excluded power of attorney. Deletes provision that states that an excluded power of attorney is not revoked by a subsequent power of attorney, including a subsequent power of attorney that states that all other powers of attorney are revoked. Provides that language in the statutory short form power of attorney shall state that by executing the statutory short form power of attorney for property, the principal revokes all prior statutory short form powers of attorney for property (instead of stating that the principal revokes all prior powers of attorney for property executed by the principal, other than excluded powers of attorney as defined in the Illinois Power of Attorney Act).
