CRONIN. (WINKEL-ERWIN) 110 ILCS 805/2-16.02 from Ch. 122, par. 102-16.02 Amends the provisions of the Public Community College Act. Authorizes the Illinois Community College Board to specify the measures that will be used to distribute grants to community colleges. Authorizes the Board to apply a percentage factor to the statewide threshold in determining the level of equalization funding and a minimum equalization grant for a qualifying district that becomes ineligible for any or for full equalization funding due to threshold prorations. Requires community college districts to maintain in-district tuition rates per semester credit hour as determined by the State Board and provides for a reduction in equalization funding for districts that fail to meet the minimum required rate until, by July 1, 2001, districts fail to qualify for equalization funding if they do not meet the required minimum in-district tuition rate. Also revises provisions relative to small district, special populations, and workforce preparation grants and provides for deferred maintenance grants based upon criteria established by the State Board. Eliminates provisions under which a one-time operating expense start-up grant was provided to Community College District No. 540. Effective July 1, 1997. 97-02-07 S FIRST READING 97-02-07 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-02-19 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EDUCATION 97-03-05 S DO PASS 007-000-000 SESE 97-03-05 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 97-03-06 97-03-11 S SECOND READING 97-03-11 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 97-03-12 97-03-13 S THIRD READING - PASSED 051-005-000 97-03-14 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 97-03-14 H PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 97-03-21 H HOUSE SPONSOR WINKEL 97-03-21 H FIRST READING 97-03-21 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-04-08 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE HIGHER ED 97-04-12 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR ERWIN 97-05-08 H MOTION DO PASS-LOST 005-006-000 HHED 97-05-08 H REMAINS IN COMMITTEE HIGHER ED 97-05-08 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 99-01-12 S SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
