AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4707
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4707 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Grant Accountability and Transparency Act
is amended by changing Section 50 as follows:
(30 ILCS 708/50)
Sec. 50. State grant-making agency responsibilities.
(a) The specific requirements and responsibilities of
State grant-making agencies and non-federal entities are set
forth in this Act. State agencies making State awards to
non-federal entities must adopt by rule the language in 2 CFR
Part 200, Subpart C through Subpart F unless different
provisions are required by law.
(b) Each State grant-making agency shall appoint a Chief
Accountability Officer who shall serve as a liaison to the
Grant Accountability and Transparency Unit and who shall be

10400HB4707ham001 - 2 - LRB104 20481 HLH 36682 a
responsible for the State agency's implementation of and
compliance with the rules.
(c) In order to effectively measure the performance of its
recipients and subrecipients, each State grant-making agency
shall:
(1) require its recipients and subrecipients to relate
financial data to performance accomplishments of the award
and, when applicable, must require recipients and
subrecipients to provide cost information to demonstrate
cost-effective practices. The recipient's and
subrecipient's performance should be measured in a way
that will help the State agency to improve program
outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption
of promising practices; and
(2) provide recipients and subrecipients with clear
performance goals, indicators, and milestones and must
establish performance reporting frequency and content to
not only allow the State agency to understand the
recipient's progress, but also to facilitate
identification of promising practices among recipients and
subrecipients and build the evidence upon which the State
agency's program and performance decisions are made. The
frequency of reports on performance goals, indicators, and
milestones required under this Section shall not be more
frequent than quarterly. Nothing in this Section is
intended to prohibit more frequent reporting to assess

10400HB4707ham001 - 3 - LRB104 20481 HLH 36682 a
items such as service needs, gaps, or capacity, as
indicated by a corrective action plan or by a risk
assessment.
(3) Each State grant-making agency shall, when it is
in the best interests of the State, request that the
Office of the Comptroller issue a stop payment order in
accordance with Section 105 of this Act.
(4) Upon notification by the Grant Transparency and
Accountability Unit that a stop payment order has been
requested by a State grant-making agency, each State
grant-making agency who has issued a grant to that
recipient or subrecipient shall determine if it remains in
the best interests of the State to continue to issue
payments to the recipient or subrecipient.
(c-5) Each State grant-making agency shall specify in each
grant agreement whether the applicable payment methodology is
advance payment, reimbursement, or working capital advance. If
advance payment is not the applicable payment methodology, the
grant agreement shall specify why an alternative payment
methodology applies.
(d) The Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall
provide such advice and technical assistance to the State
grant-making agencies as is necessary or indicated in order to
ensure compliance with this Act. The advice and technical
assistance provided to State grant-making agencies by the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall include an

10400HB4707ham001 - 4 - LRB104 20481 HLH 36682 a
explanation of how to determine if the awardee is eligible for
advance payments, reimbursement, or working capital advances.
(d-5) A State grant-making agency that awards a grant
must:
(1) issue the grant agreement associated with the
grant within 60 days of issuing the notice of award to the
vendor; or
(2) if the State grant-making agency determines that
the vendor has not provided all of the correct
documentation required to issue the grant agreement within
60 days of issuing the notice of award, notify the vendor
and issue the grant agreement within 60 days of receiving
all of the correct documentation from the vendor.
Nothing in this subsection shall apply (i) to grants that
are solely for the purpose of capital projects or (ii) if the
grant conflicts with requirements due to federal law or
federal grant obligations.
(e) In accordance with this Act and the Illinois State
Collection Act of 1986, refunds required under the Grant Funds
Recovery Act may be referred to the Comptroller's offset
system.
