30 ILCS 769/ Private Colleges and Universities Capital Distribution Formula Act.

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 25-10. Distribution.
    (a) This Section creates a distribution formula for funds appropriated from the Build Illinois Bond Fund to the Capital Development Board for the Board of Higher Education for grants to various private colleges and universities awarded pursuant to Section 25-7.
    (b) Funds appropriated for this purpose shall be distributed by the Board of Higher Education through a formula to independent colleges that have been given operational approval by the Board of Higher Education as of the Fall 2017 term. The distribution formula shall have 2 components: a base grant portion of the appropriation and an FTE grant portion of the appropriation. Each independent college shall be awarded both a base grant portion of the appropriation and an FTE grant portion of the appropriation.
    (c) The Board of Higher Education shall distribute moneys appropriated for this purpose to independent colleges based on the following base grant criteria: for each independent college reporting between 1 and 200 FTE a base grant amount of $200,000 shall be set; for each independent college reporting between 201 and 500 FTE a base grant amount of $1,000,000 shall be set; for each independent college reporting between 501 and 4,000 FTE a base grant amount of $2,000,000 shall be set; and for each independent college reporting 4,001 or more FTE a base grant amount of $5,000,000 shall be set.
    (d) If appropriations exceed the total aggregate amount of the base grants determined pursuant to subsection (c), then additional grant amounts may be set by the Board of Higher Education. The additional grants shall be distributed by the Board of Higher Education to each eligible independent college on a per capita basis as determined by the independent college's FTE as reported by the Board of Higher Education's most recent fall FTE report.
    Each eligible independent college, after an appropriation has been enacted, must apply for a Capital Investment Grant in order to be eligible to receive funds under this Program. An independent college may apply for an amount not to exceed the distribution amount determined by the Board of Higher Education pursuant to subsections (c) and (d).

    Sec. 25-15. Transfer of funds to another independent college.
    (a) If an institution received a grant under this Article and subsequently fails to meet the definition of "independent college", the remaining funds shall be re-distributed as provided in Section 25-10 to those institutions that have an active grant under this Article, unless the campus or facilities for which the grant was given are subsequently operated by another institution that qualifies as an independent college under this Article.
    (b) If the facilities of a former independent college are operated by another entity that qualifies as an independent college as provided in subsection (a) of this Section, then the entire balance of the grant provided under this Article remaining on the date the former independent college ceased operations, including any amount that had been withheld after the former independent college ceased operations, shall be transferred to the successor independent college for the purpose of the grant for the duration of the grant.
    (c) In the event that, on or before July 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-715), the remaining funds have been re-allocated or re-distributed to other independent colleges, or the Illinois Board of Higher Education has planned for the remaining funds to be re-allocated or re-distributed to other independent colleges, before the 5-year period provided under this Act for the utilization of funds has ended, any funds so re-allocated or re-distributed shall be deducted from future allocations to those other independent colleges and re-allocated or re-distributed to the initial institution or the successor entity operating the facilities of the original institution if: (i) the institution that failed to meet the definition of "independent college" once again meets the definition of "independent college" before the 5-year period has expired; or (ii) the facility or facilities of the former independent college are operated by another entity that qualifies as an independent college before the 5-year period has expired.
    (d) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, on or after the effective date of the changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, remaining funds returned to the State by an institution that failed to meet the definition of "independent college" and that received a grant from appropriations enacted prior to June 28, 2019, shall not be re-distributed. Any such funds shall instead be added to the funds made available in the first grant cycle under subsection (d) of Section 25-10 by the Board of Higher Education following the effective date of the changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and shall be distributed pursuant to the formula as provided in subsection (d) of Section 25-10.
