25 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
26 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the

4 Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the
5 Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
6 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
7 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
8 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
9 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
