2     AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5668, AS AMENDED, by
3 replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
4 following:
 
5     "Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing

13 to the contrary, the Governor may, through June 30, 2007, from
14 time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to

1 Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
2 the State's operating costs for the fiscal year. The total
3 transfer under this Section from any fund in any fiscal year
4 shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be
5 deposited into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an
6 amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July
7 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only,
8 prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the
9 Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the
10 Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by
11 applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the
12 funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may be made from a
13 fund under this Section that would have the effect of reducing
14 the available balance in the fund to an amount less than the
15 amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total
16 appropriation from that fund estimated to be expended for that
17 fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any funds that are
18 restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in

14 transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State
15 Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information
16 Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the

12     Section 10. The Illinois Human Rights Act is amended by
13 adding Section 7-113 as follows:
 
14     (775 ILCS 5/7-113 new)
15     Sec. 7-113. Employer report form; registration fee. When a
16 person files an "Employer Report Form" (PC-1) with the
17 Department as specified in subsection (J) of Section 2-101 to
18 establish eligibility to be awarded a contract by a State
19 agency, the person must pay a $75 registration fee. A person
20 must also pay a $75 registration fee when the person files for
21 renewal of eligibility. These fees shall be paid into the
22 Department of Human Rights Special Fund, a special fund that is
23 created in the State treasury. Notwithstanding any other law to
24 the contrary, the Fund is not subject to sweeps, administrative

1 charges or charge-backs, or any other fiscal or budgetary
2 maneuver that would in any way transfer any funds from the Fund
3 into any other fund of the State. Moneys in the Fund shall be
4 used solely to fund the Department's public contract compliance
5 monitoring program and other Department programs and
6 activities.
7     Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may
8 exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under
9 the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or
10 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
11 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the
12 Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or
13 enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th
14 General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General
15 Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and
16 Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
17 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
18 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
19 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
20 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
21 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
22 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
23 explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of
24 the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning
25 contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative
26 Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the

2 Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such
3 definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the
4 jurisdiction of the Governor.
