7     (20 ILCS 605/605-416 new)
8     Sec. 605-416. Loans to qualified ex-offenders.
9     (a) The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
10 shall be responsible for the distribution of funds for the
11 ex-offender loan program. Funding for this program shall come
12 solely from the Ex-Offender Fund. The Department, if it so
13 chooses, may contract out or provide sub-grants for the
14 administrative services of the program to any organization who
15 works with ex-offenders and their reentry into society.
16 Organizations wishing to participate in the program must

 

 

09500HB2746ham002 - 2 - LRB095 01003 RLC 53498 a

1 present an application to the Department in order to receive
2 funding.
3     (b) Funding distributed from the Ex-Offender Fund may only
4 be used for 3 purposes:
5         (1) For the awarding of low-interest loans, not to
6     exceed an interest rate of 3%, to ex-offenders so that
7     these individuals may start and operate their own
8     businesses that have a positive impact on society. The
9     maximum amount of a loan that an ex-offender may receive
10     shall not exceed $5,000.
11         (2) For the awarding of grants to qualified
12     ex-offenders so that the individuals may have a business
13     plan developed in order to receive loans to start up their
14     own businesses. These grants are to be used for the sole
15     purpose of acquiring a business plan developed by a
16     credible source. In order to receive these grants,
17     qualified ex-offenders must submit an application and
18     provide 50% of the cost to develop the business plan.
19         (3) For the administration costs of the program.
20     (c) For purposes of this Section, "qualified ex-offender"
21 means any person who:
22         (1) is an eligible offender, as defined under Section
23     5-5.5-5 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
24         (2) was sentenced to a period of incarceration in an
25     Illinois adult correctional center; and

09500HB2746ham002 - 3 - LRB095 01003 RLC 53498 a

1     professional business plan.
2     (d) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that
3 may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head
4 under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to
5 make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions
6 of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If,
7 however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to
8 implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of
9 the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to
10 the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House
11 and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the
12 General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
13 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
14 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
15 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
16 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
17 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
18 explicitly given. For the purposes of this Section, "rules" is
19 given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois
20 Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head"
21 are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of
22 the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that
23 such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the
24 jurisdiction of the Governor.

24             (3) payments shall be deemed delinquent after the

09500HB2746ham002 - 16 - LRB095 01003 RLC 53498 a

1             (4) payment instructions and payment vouchers
2         shall be provided to the offender that indicate the
3         following:
4                 (i) how to submit payment;
5                 (ii) the completed payment voucher shall
6             accompany the payment.
7             If an offender is declared an absconder, parole
8         maintenance fees shall continue to accrue until such
9         time as the case is closed. If the case is active on or
10         after the first day of the month in which the case is
11         suspended and closed, the fee shall be assessed for
12         that month.
13         (D) An offender shall be exempted from paying parole
14     maintenance fees and may apply for a waiver under the
15     following circumstances:
16             (1) if the offender is paying child support;
17             (2) if the offender is actively seeking
18         employment, but remains unemployed. Unemployed
19         offenders capable of being gainfully employed are not
20         eligible for a waiver;
21             (3) if the offender, whose total verified income is
22         at or below the insufficient criteria, may be
23         considered for a waiver. An offender's income is
24         considered insufficient if it is at or below the amount
25         shown in the Insufficient Income Criteria chart
26         included in the Request for Waiver of Parole

 

 

09500HB2746ham002 - 17 - LRB095 01003 RLC 53498 a

1         Maintenance Fees. Income from all family members in the
2         household shall be used to calculate whether the waiver
3         is appropriate. If a person lives with his or her
4         family, the combined income of all family members shall
5         be used (non-relatives, such as housemates, shall be
6         excluded). For a waiver to be considered, the offender
7         must provide appropriate records to document household
8         income. Once the officer verifies the offender meets
9         one of the waiver criteria above, the officer shall
10         complete the Request for Waiver of Intervention Fees
11         form and submit it to the district administrator for
12         approval. If approved, waivers are valid for a maximum
13         of 90 days. The district administrator shall make the
14         waiver entry into the computer system. If the officer
15         determines the waiver should be renewed beyond that
16         point, a new request for Waiver of Parole Maintenance
17         fees form must be submitted for approval. However, at
18         any point the officer determines that the offender is
19         again capable of paying monthly intervention fees,
20         supervisory approval is not necessary to rescind the
21         waiver.
22         (E) The following process for sanctions regarding

1         (D) An offender shall be exempted from paying parole
2     maintenance fees and may apply for a waiver under the
3     following circumstances:
4             (1) if the offender is paying child support;
5             (2) if the offender is actively seeking
6         employment, but remains unemployed. Unemployed
7         offenders capable of being gainfully employed are not
8         eligible for a waiver;
9             (3) if the offender, whose total verified income is
10         at or below the insufficient criteria, may be
11         considered for a waiver. An offender's income is
12         considered insufficient if it is at or below the amount
13         shown in the Insufficient Income Criteria chart
14         included in the Request for Waiver of Parole
15         Maintenance Fees. Income from all family members in the
16         household shall be used to calculate whether the waiver
17         is appropriate. If a person lives with his or her
18         family, the combined income of all family members shall
19         be used (non-relatives, such as housemates, shall be
20         excluded). For a waiver to be considered, the offender
21         must provide appropriate records to document household
22         income. Once the officer verifies the offender meets
23         one of the waiver criteria above, the officer shall
24         complete the Request for Waiver of Intervention Fees
25         form and submit it to the district administrator for
26         approval. If approved, waivers are valid for a maximum

 

 

09500HB2746ham002 - 35 - LRB095 01003 RLC 53498 a

1         of 90 days. The district administrator shall make the
2         waiver entry into the computer system. If the officer
3         determines the waiver should be renewed beyond that
4         point, a new request for Waiver of Parole Maintenance
5         fees form must be submitted for approval. However, at
6         any point the officer determines that the offender is
7         again capable of paying monthly intervention fees,
8         supervisory approval is not necessary to rescind the
9         waiver.
10         (E) The following process for sanctions regarding
11     nonpayment shall be applied:
12             (1) within 10 working day of becoming aware that an
13         offender has failed to submit the parole maintenance
14         fee, the supervising officer shall contact the
15         offender in writing, by phone, or in person to remind
16         them of the payment obligation;
17             (2) the supervising officer should direct the
18         offender to specific programs or services that will
19         assist him or her in addressing his or her inability to
20         pay (i.e. financial management program, employment
21         counseling or job seeking classes, substance abuse
22         counseling, mental health counseling, etc., or a
23         combination of these);
24             (3) the supervising officer shall establish a
25         payment plan, via a written directive, with the
26         offender, to address any arrearage within a reasonable

1         time, given the offender's individual circumstances;
2             (4) should the offender become 3 months late in
3         parole maintenance fee payments, the Illinois Attorney
4         General or the State's Attorney of the county in which
5         the offender is paroled, may bring a civil action to
6         recover unpaid fees that the offender was required to
7         pay. Any amount recovered in the civil action shall be
8         paid into the Ex-Offender Fund.
9     Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may
10 exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under
11 the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or
12 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
13 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the
14 Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or
15 enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th
16 General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General
17 Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the
18 Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
19 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
20 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
21 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
22 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
23 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
24 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
25 explicitly given. For the purposes of this subsection (g),
26 "rules" is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the

2 "agency head" are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20
3 and 1-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the
4 extent that such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads
5 under the jurisdiction of the Governor.
