 1                    AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4374

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 4374  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4                       "ARTICLE 1. SHORT TITLE

 5        Section  1-1.  Short title.  This Act may be cited as the
 6    FY2001 Budget  Implementation  Act  relating  to  the  fiscal
 7    operation of State government.

 8             ARTICLE 5. ELIMINATE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE LAW

 9        Section  5-1.  Short title.  This Article may be cited as
10    the Eliminate the Digital Divide Law.

11        Section  5-3.  Statement  of  legislative  findings   and
12    purposes.  The General Assembly finds that the growth of high
13    technology  industry,  including computers, the Internet, and
14    advanced  telecommunications,  has  created  a  division   in
15    society.   Those  who are able to master the tools of the new
16    digital technology and have access  to  the  technology  have
17    benefited  in  the  form of improved employment possibilities
18    and a higher standard of life.  Those who are unfamiliar with
19    the new technologies, or do not  have  access  to  them,  are
 
                            -2-            LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    increasingly   constrained   to  marginal  employment  and  a
 2    standard of living near the  poverty  level.   This  "digital
 3    divide"  parallels  existing  economic,  racial,  and  gender
 4    divisions  in  society,  with  the more privileged members of
 5    society having much greater opportunity to benefit  from  the
 6    new  technologies than those who are less favorably situated.
 7    It is the purpose of this Law to  establish  educational  and
 8    economic development initiatives that will bridge the digital
 9    divide,  making  possible  a society in which all individuals
10    can benefit  from  the  opportunities  provided  by  the  new
11    technologies.

12        Section  5-5. Definitions; descriptions.  As used in this
13    Article:
14        "Community-based   organization"    means    a    private
15    not-for-profit  organization  that  is located in an Illinois
16    community and that provides services to citizens within  that
17    community and the surrounding area.
18        "Community  technology  centers"  provide computer access
19    and  educational  services  using   information   technology.
20    Community  technology  centers are diverse in the populations
21    they serve and programs they offer, but similar in that  they
22    provide  technology  access  to individuals, communities, and
23    populations that typically would not otherwise have places to
24    use computer and telecommunications technologies.
25        "Department"  means  the  Department  of   Commerce   and
26    Community Affairs.
27        "National   school   lunch   program"   means  a  program
28    administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and  state
29    agencies  that  provides  free  or  reduced  price lunches to
30    economically disadvantaged children.  A  child  whose  family
31    income  is  between  130%  and 185% of applicable family size
32    income levels contained in  the  nonfarm  poverty  guidelines
33    prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget is eligible
 
                            -3-            LRB9111008EGfgam07

 2    130%  or  less  of  applicable  family  size  income   levels
 3    contained in the nonfarm income poverty guidelines prescribed
 4    by the Office of Management and Budget is eligible for a free
 5    lunch.
 6        "Telecommunications       services"      provided      by
 7    telecommunications   carriers   include   all    commercially
 8    available  telecommunications  services  in  addition  to all
 9    reasonable charges that are incurred by taking such services,
10    such as state and federal taxes.
11        "Other special services" provided  by  telecommunications
12    carriers   include   Internet  access  and  installation  and
13    maintenance  of  internal  connections  in  addition  to  all
14    reasonable charges that are incurred by taking such services,
15    such as state and federal taxes.

26    Section  in  fiscal year 2001 shall not exceed $2,000,000. No
27    Community Technology Center may receive a grant of more  than

 9    free  lunch under the national school lunch program; however,
10    if funding is insufficient to approve all grant  applications
11    for  a  particular  fiscal  year, the Department may impose a
12    higher minimum percentage threshold  for  that  fiscal  year.
13    Determinations  of  communities  and  determinations  of  the
14    percentage  of students in a community who are eligible for a
15    free or reduced price lunch under the national  school  lunch
16    program  shall  be  in  accordance  with rules adopted by the

19    Center  grant  under the federal Community Technology Centers
20    Program are also eligible to  apply  for  grants  under  this
21    Program.
22        The  Department  shall  provide  assistance  to Community

 1        (b)  This prohibition on resale shall not  bar  Community
 2    Technology  Centers  from  charging  fees  for  education  or
 3    workforce preparation courses. There is no prohibition on the
 4    resale  of  products  or services that are not purchased with

 2        Sec. 13.3.  Petty cash funds; purchasing cards.
 3        (a)  Any  State  agency  may establish and maintain petty
 4    cash funds for the purpose of making change, purchasing items
 5    of small cost, payment of postage due, and for other  nominal
 6    expenditures  which  cannot  be administered economically and
 7    efficiently through customary procurement practices.
 8        Petty cash funds may be established and  maintained  from
 9    moneys  which  are appropriated to the agency for Contractual
10    Services.  In the case of an agency which receives  a  single
11    appropriation  for  its ordinary and contingent expenses, the
12    agency may establish a petty cash fund from the  appropriated
13    funds.
14        Before  the  establishment  of  any  petty cash fund, the
15    agency shall submit to the State Comptroller a survey of  the
16    need  for  the  fund.   The  survey shall also establish that
17    sufficient   internal   accounting   controls   exist.    The
18    Comptroller  shall investigate such need and if he determines
19    that it exists and that adequate accounting  controls  exist,
20    shall approve the establishment of the fund.  The Comptroller
21    shall  have  the power to revoke any approval previously made
22    under this Section.
23        Petty cash funds established under this Section shall  be
24    operated  and  maintained  on  the imprest system and no fund
25    shall exceed $1,000, except that the Secretary of  State  may
26    maintain  a  fund  of  not  exceeding $2,000 for each Chicago
27    Motor  Vehicle  Facility,  each  Springfield  Public  Service
28    Facility, and the  Motor  Vehicle  Facilities  in  Champaign,
29    Decatur,  Marion, Naperville, Peoria, Rockford, Granite City,
30    Quincy, and Carbondale, to be used solely for the purpose  of
31    making change.  Except for purchases made by procurement card
32    as  provided  in  subsection  (b)  of  this  Section,  single
33    transactions  shall  be limited to amounts less than $50, and
34    all transactions occurring in the fund shall be reported  and
 
                            -15-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    accounted  for  as  may be provided in the uniform accounting
 2    system developed by the State Comptroller and the  rules  and
 3    regulations implementing that accounting system.  All amounts
 4    in  any  such fund of less than $1,000 but over $100 shall be
 5    kept in a checking account in a bank,  or  savings  and  loan
 6    association  or  trust company which is insured by the United
 7    States  government  or  any  agency  of  the  United   States
 8    government,  except that in funds maintained in Chicago Motor
 9    Vehicle Facilities, each Springfield Public Service Facility,
10    and the  Motor  Vehicle  Facilities  in  Champaign,  Decatur,
11    Marion,  Naperville,  Peoria, Rockford, Granite City, Quincy,
12    and Carbondale, all amounts in the fund may  be  retained  on
13    the premises of such facilities.
14        No  bank  or  savings  and loan association shall receive
15    public funds as permitted by  this  Section,  unless  it  has
16    complied   with  the  requirements  established  pursuant  to
17    Section 6 of "An  Act  relating  to  certain  investments  of
18    public  funds by public agencies", approved July 23, 1943, as
19    now or hereafter amended.
20        An internal audit shall be performed of  any  petty  cash
21    fund  which  receives reimbursements of more than $5,000 in a
22    fiscal year.
23        Upon succession in the custodianship of  any  petty  cash
24    fund,  both  the former and successor custodians shall sign a
25    statement, in triplicate, showing the  exact  status  of  the
26    fund at the time of the transfer.  The original copy shall be
27    kept  on file in the office wherein the fund exists, and each
28    signer shall be entitled to retain one copy.
29        (b)  The Comptroller may provide by rule for the  use  of
30    purchasing  cards by State agencies to pay for purchases that
31    otherwise may be paid out of the agency's  petty  cash  fund.
32    Any  rule adopted hereunder shall impose a single transaction
33    limit, which shall not be greater than $500.
34        The rules of the Comptroller may include but shall not be
 
                            -16-           LRB9111008EGfgam07

 5             (2)  procedures  for   recording   purchasing   card
 6        transactions  within  the  State accounting system, which

 9        transactions on a post-payment basis;

11        purchasing  card  vendor  to acquire purchasing cards for
12        use by State agencies; and
13             (5)  procedures  for  the  Comptroller   to   charge
14        against   State  agency  appropriations  for  payment  of
15        purchasing card  expenditures  without  the  use  of  the
16        voucher and warrant system.

 5        (c)  Deposits Into Income Tax Refund Fund.

12        period  beginning  January 1, 1989 and ending on June 30,
13        1989.  Beginning with State fiscal year 1990 and for each

16        Annual  Percentage.   For fiscal years 1999 through 2001,

20        of refunds approved for payment by the Department  during
21        the  preceding  fiscal year as a result of overpayment of
22        tax liability under subsections (a) and (b)(1), (2),  and

31        year immediately preceding the fiscal year for  which  it
32        is to be effective.

 5        during the period beginning January 1, 1989 and ending on
 6        June 30, 1989.  Beginning with State fiscal year 1990 and
 7        for each fiscal year thereafter, the percentage deposited
 8        into the Income Tax Refund  Fund  during  a  fiscal  year
 9        shall  be  the Annual Percentage.  For fiscal years 1999,
10        2000, and 2001, the Annual Percentage shall be 19%.   For
11        all  other  fiscal  years, the Annual Percentage shall be
12        calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
13        the  amount  of  refunds  approved  for  payment  by  the
14        Department during the preceding fiscal year as  a  result
15        of overpayment of tax liability under subsections (a) and
16        (b)(6),  (7), and (8), (c) and (d) of Section 201 of this
17        Act plus the amount of such  refunds  remaining  approved
18        but  unpaid  at the end of the preceding fiscal year, the
19        denominator of which shall be the amounts which  will  be
20        collected  pursuant  to  subsections (a) and (b)(6), (7),
21        and (8), (c) and (d) of Section 201 of  this  Act  during

30        purpose of paying refunds resulting from  overpayment  of
31        tax  liability  under Section 201 of this Act, for paying
32        rebates under Section 208.1 in the event that the amounts
33        in the Homeowners' Tax Relief Fund are  insufficient  for
34        that  purpose,  and for making transfers pursuant to this

 6        of this Act and transfers pursuant to this subsection (d)
 7        have been deposited and retained in the Fund.

15        201 of this Act deposited into the Income Tax Refund Fund
16        during  the  fiscal  year  over  the  amount  of  refunds

18        subsections (c) and (d) of Section 201 of this  Act  paid
19        from the Income Tax Refund Fund during the fiscal year.
20             (4)  As  soon  as  possible  after  the  end of each
21        fiscal year, the Director shall order transferred and the
22        State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from

15    Department  shall  deposit 7.3% into the Education Assistance

 2        Section 10-20.  The Motor Fuel  Tax  Law  is  amended  by
 3    changing Section 8 as follows:

 4        (35 ILCS 505/8) (from Ch. 120, par. 424)
 5        Sec.  8.  Except as provided in Sections 8a and 13a.6 and
 6    items 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Section 15, all money received by
 7    the Department under this Act, including payments made to the
 8    Department  by  member  jurisdictions  participating  in  the
 9    International Fuel Tax Agreement, shall  be  deposited  in  a
10    special fund in the State treasury, to be known as the "Motor
11    Fuel Tax Fund", and shall be used as follows:
12        (a)  2  1/2  cents  per  gallon  of  the tax collected on
13    special fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section 13a
14    of this Act shall be transferred to  the  State  Construction
15    Account Fund in the State Treasury;
16        (b)  $420,000  shall  be  transferred  each  month to the
17    State Boating Act Fund  to  be  used  by  the  Department  of
18    Natural  Resources for the purposes specified in Article X of
19    the Boat Registration and Safety Act;
20        (c)  $2,250,000 shall be transferred each  month  to  the
21    Grade  Crossing  Protection  Fund  to be used as follows: not
22    less than $6,000,000 each fiscal year shall be used  for  the
23    construction   or   reconstruction   of  rail  highway  grade
24    separation structures; beginning with fiscal  year  1997  and
25    ending  in  fiscal year 2000 2003, $1,500,000, beginning with
26    fiscal year 2001 and ending in fiscal year 2003,  $2,250,000,
27    and  $750,000  in  fiscal  year  2004  and  each  fiscal year
28    thereafter  shall  be  transferred  to   the   Transportation
29    Regulatory  Fund  and  shall  be accounted for as part of the
30    rail carrier portion of such funds and shall be used  to  pay
31    the   cost   of   administration  of  the  Illinois  Commerce
32    Commission's railroad safety program in connection  with  its
 
                            -23-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    duties  under  subsection  (3)  of  Section  18c-7401  of the
 2    Illinois Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be used  by  the
 3    Department  of  Transportation  upon  order  of  the Illinois
 4    Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the cost apportioned
 5    by such Commission to the State to cover the interest of  the
 6    public in the use of highways, roads or streets in the county
 7    highway   system,   township  and  district  road  system  or
 8    municipal street system as defined in  the  Illinois  Highway
 9    Code,  as  the  same  may  from  time to time be amended, for
10    separation  of  grades,  for  installation,  construction  or
11    reconstruction  of  crossing  protection  or  reconstruction,
12    alteration, relocation including construction or  improvement
13    of  any  existing highway necessary for access to property or
14    improvement of any grade  crossing  including  the  necessary
15    highway approaches thereto of any railroad across the highway
16    or  public  road,  as  provided for in and in accordance with
17    Section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.   In  entering
18    orders  for  projects  for  which  payments  from  the  Grade
19    Crossing  Protection  Fund will be made, the Commission shall
20    account for expenditures authorized by the orders on  a  cash
21    rather   than   an  accrual  basis.   For  purposes  of  this
22    requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that the total cost of
23    the project is expended in the fiscal year in which the order
24    is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the  cost  of  the
25    project among fiscal years as expenditures are actually made.
26    To  meet  the  requirements  of this subsection, the Illinois
27    Commerce Commission shall develop annual and  5-year  project
28    plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will be paid
29    for with moneys from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund.  The
30    annual   project   plan   shall  identify  projects  for  the
31    succeeding fiscal year and  the  5-year  project  plan  shall
32    identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years.
33    The  Commission  shall  submit  the annual and 5-year project
34    plans for this Fund to the Governor,  the  President  of  the
 
                            -24-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    Senate,  the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House
 2    of Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the  House  of
 3    Representatives on the first Wednesday in April of each year;
 4        (d)  of  the  amount remaining after allocations provided
 5    for in subsections (a), (b)  and  (c),  a  sufficient  amount
 6    shall be reserved to pay all of the following:
 7             (1)  the  costs  of  the  Department  of  Revenue in
 8        administering this Act;
 9             (2)  the costs of the Department  of  Transportation
10        in  performing its duties imposed by the Illinois Highway

13        districts;
14             (3)  refunds provided for in Section 13 of this  Act
15        and  under  the  terms  of  the  International  Fuel  Tax
16        Agreement referenced in Section 14a;
17             (4)  from  October  1, 1985 until June 30, 1994, the

19        which   amount   shall   be   certified  monthly  by  the
20        Environmental Protection Agency to the State  Comptroller
21        and   shall   promptly   be   transferred  by  the  State
22        Comptroller and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund to
23        the Vehicle Inspection Fund, and for the period beginning
24        July 1, 1994 through June  30,  and  until  December  31,
25        2000,  one-twelfth of $25,000,000 each month, and for the
26        period July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2006, one-twelfth of

30        the Motor Fuel Tax Fund into the Vehicle Inspection Fund;

 1        Tax  Agreement.   The  Department  shall  certify   these
 2        amounts to the Comptroller by the 15th day of each month;
 3        the  Comptroller  shall cause orders to be drawn for such
 4        amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer those amounts
 5        on or before the last day of each month;
 6        (e)  after allocations for  the  purposes  set  forth  in
 7    subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d), the remaining amount shall
 8    be apportioned as follows:
 9             (1)  Until  January  1,  2000,  58.4%, and beginning
10        January 1, 2000, 45.6% shall be deposited as follows:

16             accordance with the  provisions  of  Sections  6-901
17             through 6-906 of the Illinois Highway Code;
18             (2)  Until  January  1,  2000,  41.6%, and beginning
19        January 1,  2000,  54.4%  shall  be  transferred  to  the
20        Department   of   Transportation  to  be  distributed  as
21        follows:
22                  (A)  49.10% to the municipalities of the State,
23                  (B)  16.74% to the counties of the State having
24             1,000,000 or more inhabitants,
25                  (C)  18.27% to the counties of the State having

27                  (D)  15.89% to the road districts of the State.
28        As soon as may be after the first day of each  month  the
29    Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
30    its   share   of   the  amount  apportioned  to  the  several
31    municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
32    of such municipalities as determined by  the  last  preceding
33    municipal  census  if  conducted by the Federal Government or
34    Federal census. If territory is annexed to  any  municipality
 
                            -26-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    subsequent  to  the  time  of  the  last preceding census the
 2    corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
 3    to be taken of such annexed territory and the  population  so
 4    ascertained   for  such  territory  shall  be  added  to  the
 5    population of the municipality  as  determined  by  the  last
 6    preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
 7    for that municipality.  If the population of any municipality
 8    was  not  determined by the last Federal census preceding any
 9    apportionment, the apportionment to such  municipality  shall
10    be  in accordance with any census taken by such municipality.
11    Any municipal census used in  accordance  with  this  Section
12    shall be certified to the Department of Transportation by the
13    clerk of such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be
14    subject  to  approval  of  the Department which may make such
15    corrections as it ascertains to be necessary.
16        As soon as may be after the first day of each  month  the
17    Department  of  Transportation shall allot to each county its
18    share of the amount apportioned to the  several  counties  of
19    the  State  as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
20    counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall  be  in
21    proportion  to  the  amount  of  motor  vehicle  license fees
22    received from the residents of such  counties,  respectively,
23    during  the  preceding  calendar year. The Secretary of State
24    shall, on or before April 15 of each year,  transmit  to  the
25    Department  of  Transportation  a  full  and  complete report
26    showing the amount of motor  vehicle  license  fees  received
27    from  the  residents of each county, respectively, during the
28    preceding calendar year.  The  Department  of  Transportation
29    shall,  each  month, use for allotment purposes the last such
30    report received from the Secretary of State.
31        As soon as may be after the first day of each month,  the
32    Department  of  Transportation  shall  allot  to  the several
33    counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
34    road districts.  The allotment shall be apportioned among the
 
                            -27-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    several counties in the State in  the  proportion  which  the
 2    total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
 3    counties  bears  to  the  total  mileage  of all township and
 4    district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
 5    counties for the use  of  road  districts  therein  shall  be
 6    allocated  to the several road districts in the county in the
 7    proportion which  the  total  mileage  of  such  township  or
 8    district  roads in the respective road districts bears to the
 9    total mileage of all such township or district roads  in  the
10    county.   After  July  1  of any year, no allocation shall be
11    made for any road district unless it levied a  tax  for  road
12    and  bridge  purposes  in  an  amount  which will require the
13    extension of such tax against the  taxable  property  in  any
14    such  road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of
15    the value thereof, based upon the  assessment  for  the  year
16    immediately  prior  to  the year in which such tax was levied
17    and as equalized by the Department of Revenue or,  in  DuPage
18    County,  an  amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile
19    of  road  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  road   district,
20    whichever is less.  If any road district has levied a special
21    tax  for  road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 and
22    6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax  was  levied
23    in  an  amount which would require extension at a rate of not
24    less than .08% of the value of the taxable property  thereof,
25    as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
26    DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
27    mile  of  road  under  the jurisdiction of the road district,
28    whichever is less, such levy  shall,  however,  be  deemed  a
29    proper  compliance  with  this Section and shall qualify such
30    road district for an allotment  under  this  Section.   If  a
31    township  has  transferred  to the road and bridge fund money
32    which, when added to the amount of any tax levy of  the  road
33    district  would  be  the  equivalent  of a tax levy requiring
34    extension at a rate of at least .08%,  or, in DuPage  County,
 
                            -28-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    an  amount  equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road
 2    under the jurisdiction of the  road  district,  whichever  is
 3    less,  such  transfer, together with any such tax levy, shall
 4    be deemed a proper compliance with  this  Section  and  shall
 5    qualify  the  road  district  for  an  allotment  under  this
 6    Section.
 7        In  counties in which a property tax extension limitation
 8    is imposed under the Property Tax Extension  Limitation  Law,
 9    road  districts  may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
10    tax allotment if, at the  time  the  property  tax  extension
11    limitation  was imposed, the road district was levying a road
12    and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a  motor
13    fuel   tax  allotment  and  continues  to  levy  the  maximum
14    allowable amount after the imposition  of  the  property  tax
15    extension   limitation.    Any   road  district  may  in  all
16    circumstances retain its entitlement  to  a  motor  fuel  tax
17    allotment  if  it  levied  a road and bridge tax in an amount
18    that will require  the  extension  of  the  tax  against  the
19    taxable  property  in the road district at a rate of not less
20    than 0.08% of the assessed value of the property, based  upon
21    the assessment for the year immediately preceding the year in
22    which  the  tax was levied and as equalized by the Department
23    of Revenue or, in  DuPage  County,  an  amount  equal  to  or
24    greater  than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction
25    of the road district, whichever is less.
26        As used in this Section the term  "road  district"  means
27    any  road  district,  including  a county unit road district,
28    provided for by the  Illinois  Highway  Code;  and  the  term
29    "township  or  district  road" means any road in the township
30    and district road system as defined in the  Illinois  Highway
31    Code.  For the purposes of this Section, "road district" also
32    includes   park  districts,  forest  preserve  districts  and
33    conservation  districts  organized  under  Illinois  law  and
34    "township or district road" also includes such roads  as  are
 
                            -29-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    maintained  by  park districts, forest preserve districts and
 2    conservation districts.   The  Department  of  Transportation
 3    shall  determine  the  mileage  of  all township and district
 4    roads for the purposes of making allotments  and  allocations
 5    of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
 6        Payment  of  motor  fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
 7    counties  shall  be  made  as  soon  as  possible  after  the
 8    allotment is made.  The  treasurer  of  the  municipality  or
 9    county may invest these funds until their use is required and
10    the  interest earned by these investments shall be limited to
11    the same uses as the principal funds.

23    for inflation each July 1 using the Consumer Price  Index  of

14    device   inspection  fee.   For  the  use  of  its  Metrology
15    Laboratory, the testings of weights  and  measures  and  such
16    other inspection and services performed, the Department shall
17    set  a  fee,  the  amount  of  which  shall be according to a
18    Schedule of Weights and Measures Inspection Fees  established
19    and  published  by  the  Director.  The fees so collected and
20    received by the State shall be deposited into a special  fund
21    to  be  known  as the Weights and Measures Fund.  All weights
22    and measures inspection fees,  metrology  fees,  weights  and
23    measures  registrations,  and  weights and measures penalties
24    collected by the Department under this Act shall be deposited
25    into the Weights and  Measures  Fund.   The  amount  annually
26    collected  shall  be  used  by  the Department for activities
27    related to the enforcement of this Act and the Motor Fuel and
28    Petroleum Standards Act, and for the  State's  share  of  the
29    costs of the Field Automation Information Management project.
30    No  person  shall  be  required to pay more than 2 inspection
31    fees for any one weighing or measuring device in any one year
32    when found to be accurate.  When an inspection is made upon a

 2    person  other  than  the  owner of such weighing or measuring
 3    device, and the device is found  accurate  as  set  forth  in
 4    Section  8 of this Act, then the inspection fee shall be paid
 5    by the complainant.

 7        Section   10-35.    The   Response   Action    Contractor
 8    Indemnification  Act  is  amended  by  changing  Section 5 as
 9    follows:

10        (415 ILCS 100/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 7205)
11        Sec. 5. Response Contractors Indemnification Fund.
12        (a)  There is hereby  created  the  Response  Contractors
13    Indemnification Fund.  The State Treasurer, ex officio, shall
14    be  custodian  of  the Fund, and the Comptroller shall direct
15    payments from the Fund upon vouchers  properly  certified  by
16    the  Attorney  General  in  accordance  with  Section 4.  The
17    Treasurer shall credit interest on the Fund to the Fund.
18        (b)  Every State response action contract  shall  provide
19    that  5%  of  each  payment to be made by the State under the
20    contract shall  be  paid  by  the  State  directly  into  the
21    Response  Contractors Indemnification Fund rather than to the
22    contractor, except that when there is more than $4,000,000 in
23    the Fund at the beginning  of  a  State  fiscal  year,  State
24    response  action  contracts  during that fiscal year need not
25    provide that 5% of each payment made under  the  contract  be
26    paid  into  the  Fund.   When  only  a  portion of a contract
27    relates  to  a  remedial  or  response  action,  or  to   the
28    identification, handling, storage, treatment or disposal of a
29    pollutant,  the contract shall provide that only that portion
30    is subject to this subsection.
31        (c)  Within 30 days after  the  effective  date  of  this
32    amendatory   Act   of   1997,  the  Comptroller  shall  order
 
                            -40-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer $1,200,000  from
 2    the   Response   Contractors   Indemnification  Fund  to  the
 3    Brownfields Redevelopment Fund.  The Comptroller shall  order
 4    transferred  and the Treasurer shall transfer $1,200,000 from
 5    the  Response  Contractors  Indemnification   Fund   to   the
 6    Brownfields  Redevelopment  Fund  on  the first day of fiscal
 7    years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
 8        (d)  Within 30 days after  the  effective  date  of  this
 9    amendatory  Act of the 91st General Assembly, the Comptroller
10    shall order transferred  and  the  Treasurer  shall  transfer
11    $2,000,000 from the Response Contractors Indemnification Fund
12    to the Asbestos Abatement Fund.

14        Section 10-40.  The Unemployment Insurance Act is amended
15    by changing Section 2103 as follows:

16        (820 ILCS 405/2103) (from Ch. 48, par. 663)
17        Sec.  2103.  Unemployment compensation administration and
18    other workforce development costs cost.  All moneys  received
19    by  the  State  or  by  the  Director from any source for the
20    financing  of  the  cost  of  administration  of  this   Act,
21    including  all  federal moneys allotted or apportioned to the
22    State or to the Director for that purpose,  including  moneys
23    received  directly  or indirectly from the federal government
24    under the Job Training Partnership Act, and including  moneys
25    received  from  the Railroad Retirement Board as compensation
26    for services or facilities supplied to  said  Board,  or  any
27    moneys   made  available  by  this  State  or  its  political
28    subdivisions and matched by  moneys  granted  to  this  State
29    pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, shall be
30    received  and  held  by  the  State  Treasurer  as ex-officio
31    custodian thereof, separate and apart from  all  other  State
32    moneys, in the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund,
 
                            -41-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    and  such  funds  shall  be  distributed or expended upon the
 2    direction of the Director and, except money received pursuant
 3    to the last paragraph of Section 2100B, shall be  distributed
 4    or  expended solely for the purposes and in the amounts found
 5    necessary by the Secretary of Labor of the United  States  of
 6    America,  or other appropriate federal agency, for the proper
 7    and efficient administration of  this  Act.   Notwithstanding
 8    any  provision  of  this Section, all money requisitioned and
 9    deposited with the  State  Treasurer  pursuant  to  the  last
10    paragraph   of   Section  2100B  shall  remain  part  of  the
11    unemployment trust fund and shall be used only in  accordance
12    with  the  conditions  specified  in  the  last  paragraph of
13    Section 2100B.
14        If any moneys received from the Secretary  of  Labor,  or
15    other  appropriate  federal  agency,  under  Title III of the
16    Social Security Act, or any  moneys  granted  to  this  State
17    pursuant  to  the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, or any
18    moneys  made  available  by  this  State  or  its   political
19    subdivisions  and  matched  by  moneys  granted to this State
20    pursuant to the provisions  of  the  Wagner-Peyser  Act,  are
21    found by the Secretary of Labor, or other appropriate Federal
22    agency,  because  of  any action or contingency, to have been
23    lost or expended for purposes other than, or  in  amounts  in
24    excess  of, those found necessary, by the Secretary of Labor,
25    or  other  appropriate  Federal  agency,   for   the   proper
26    administration  of  this  Act, it is the policy of this State
27    that such moneys shall be replaced by moneys appropriated for
28    such purpose  from  the  general  funds  of  this  State  for
29    expenditure  as  provided  in  the  first  paragraph  of this
30    Section.  The Director shall report  to  the  Bureau  of  the
31    Budget,  in  the same manner as is provided generally for the
32    submission by State Departments of financial requirements for
33    the ensuing fiscal year, and the Governor  shall  include  in
34    his  budget report to the next regular session of the General
 
                            -42-           LRB9111008EGfgam07
 1    Assembly, the amount required for such replacement.
 2        Moneys in the Title III Social  Security  and  Employment
 3    this Fund shall not be commingled with other State funds, but
 4    they  shall be deposited as required by law and maintained in
 5    a separate account  on  the  books  of  a  savings  and  loan
 6    association or bank.
 7        The  State  Treasurer  shall  be  liable  on  his general
 8    official bond for the faithful performance of his  duties  as
 9    custodian of all such moneys in the Title III Social Security
10    and  Employment  Fund as may come into his hands by virtue of
11    this Section.  Such liability  on  his  official  bond  shall
12    exist  in  addition  to  the liability upon any separate bond
13    given by him.  All sums recovered for losses sustained by the
14    fund herein described shall be deposited therein.
15        Upon the effective date of this amendatory  Act  of  1987
16    (January   1,  1988),  the  Comptroller  shall  transfer  all
17    unobligated funds from the Job Training Fund into  the  Title
18    III Social Security and Employment Fund.
19        On  September  1,  2000,  or as soon thereafter as may be
20    reasonably practicable, the State Comptroller shall  transfer
21    all unobligated moneys from the Job Training Partnership Fund
22    into  the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund.  The
23    moneys transferred pursuant to this  amendatory  Act  may  be
24    used  or expended for purposes consistent with the conditions
25    under which those moneys were received by the State.
26        Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of
27    the 91st General Assembly, all moneys that would otherwise be
28    deposited  into  the  Job  Training  Partnership  Fund  shall
29    instead be deposited into the Title III Social  Security  and
30    Employment  Fund, to be used for purposes consistent with the
31    conditions under which  those  moneys  are  received  by  the
32    State,  except  that  any moneys that may be necessary to pay
33    liabilities  outstanding  as  of  June  30,  2000  shall   be
34    deposited into the Job Training Partnership Fund.
