13 time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to

24 transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet

6     (775 ILCS 5/7-113 new)

13 renewal of eligibility. These fees shall be paid into the
14 Department of Human Rights Special Fund, a special fund that is
15 created in the State treasury. Notwithstanding any other law to
16 the contrary, the Fund is not subject to sweeps, administrative
17 charges or charge-backs, or any other fiscal or budgetary
18 maneuver that would in any way transfer any funds from the Fund
19 into any other fund of the State. Moneys in the Fund shall be
20 used solely to fund the Department's public contract compliance
21 monitoring program and other Department programs and
22 activities.
23     Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may
24 exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under

1 the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or
2 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
3 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the
4 Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or
5 enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th
6 General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General
7 Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and
8 Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General
9 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
10 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
11 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
12 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
13 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
14 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
15 explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of
16 the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning
17 contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative
18 Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the
19 meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois
20 Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such
21 definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the
22 jurisdiction of the Governor.

24 1, 2009.
