Public Act 097-1144

AN ACT concerning State government.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act is amended by changing Section 4.2 as follows:

(30 ILCS 705/4.2)

Sec. 4.2. Suspension of grant making authority. Any grant funds and any grant program administered by a grantor agency subject to this Act are indefinitely suspended on June 30, 2013, January 1, 2013, and on July 1st of every 5th year thereafter, unless the General Assembly, by law, authorizes that grantor agency to make grants or lifts the suspension of the authorization of that grantor agency to make grants. In the case of a suspension of the authorization of a grantor agency to make grants, the authority of that grantor agency to make grants is suspended until the suspension is explicitly lifted by law by the General Assembly, even if an appropriation has been made for the explicit purpose of such grants. This suspension of grant making authority supersedes any other law or rule to the contrary.
