HB1292 Engrossed - 49 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		undertaken and shall specify the principal amount, rate of

10		notes in the name of the owner either as to principal
11		alone, or as to both principal and interest, on such terms
12		and conditions as the Authority may determine by the
13		resolution authorizing their issue. The notes shall be
14		issued from time to time by the Authority as funds are
15		borrowed, in the manner the Authority may determine.
16		Interest on the notes may be made payable semiannually,
17		annually or at maturity. The notes may be made redeemable,
18		prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in the
19		manner and upon the terms fixed by the resolution
20		authorizing their issuance. The notes may be executed in
21		the name of the Authority by the Chairman of the Authority
22		or by any other officer or officers of the Authority as the
23		Authority by resolution may direct, shall be attested by
24		the Secretary or such other officer or officers of the

1		and the interest thereon may be secured by a pledge of any
2		income and revenue derived by the Authority from the
3		project to be undertaken with the proceeds of the notes and
4		shall be payable solely from such income and revenue and
5		from the proceeds to be derived from the sale of any
6		revenue bonds for permanent financing authorized to be
7		issued under Sections 5 and 6 of this Act, and from the
8		property acquired with the proceeds of the notes.
9		Contemporaneously with the issue of revenue bonds as
10		provided by this Act, all interim notes, even though they

12		and interest to date of payment, from the funds derived
13		from the sale of revenue bonds for the permanent financing
14		and such interim notes shall be surrendered and canceled.
15		2. The Authority, in order further to secure the
16		payment of the interim notes, is, in addition to the
17		foregoing, authorized and empowered to make any other or
18		additional covenants, terms and conditions not
19		inconsistent with the provisions of subparagraph (a) of
20		this Section, and do any and all acts and things as may be
21		necessary or convenient or desirable in order to secure
22		payment of its interim notes, or in the discretion of the
23		Authority, as will tend to make the interim notes more
24		acceptable to lenders, notwithstanding that the covenants,
25		acts or things may not be enumerated herein; however,
26		nothing contained in this subparagraph shall authorize the

HB1292 Engrossed - 51 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		Authority to secure the payment of the interim notes out of
2		property or facilities, other than the facilities acquired
3		with the proceeds of the interim notes, and any net income
4		and revenue derived from the facilities and the proceeds of
5		revenue bonds as hereinabove provided.
6		(e) Convey property, without charge, to the State or to the
7		appropriate corporate agency of the State or to any public
8		community college district board if and when all debts which
9		have been secured by the income from such property have been

11		(f) Enter into contracts regarding any matter connected
12		with any corporate purpose within the objects and purposes of
13		this Act.
14		(g) Employ agents and employees necessary to carry out the
15		duties and purposes of the Authority.

19		under the powers granted by this Act.

21		pleasure.
22		The Interim notes shall constitute State debt of the State
23		of Illinois within the meaning of any of the provisions of the
24		Constitution and statutes of the State of Illinois.
25		No member, officer, agent or employee of the Authority, nor
26		any other person who executes interim notes, shall be liable

HB1292 Engrossed - 52 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		personally by reason of the issuance thereof.
2		With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued
3		under this Section either before, on, or after the effective
4		date of this amendatory Act of 1989, it is and always has been
5		the intention of the General Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond
6		Acts are and always have been supplementary grants of power to
7		issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond Acts,
8		regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be
9		or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
10		provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the
11		supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and
12		(iii) that instruments issued under this Section within the
13		supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are
14		not invalid because of any provision of this Act that may

12		or more inhabitants, 4 at $50,000 each.
13		The amounts appropriated under this Section must be
14		segregated by population classification and disbursed monthly.
15		If in any year the amount appropriated for the purposes of
16		this subsection (h) is insufficient to pay all of the subsidies
17		specified in this subsection, the amount appropriated shall
18		first be prorated by the population classifications of this
19		subsection (h) and then among the counties choosing to
20		participate within each of those classifications. If any of the
21		appropriated moneys for each population classification remain
22		at the end of a fiscal year, the remainder of the moneys may be
23		allocated to participating counties that were not fully funded
24		during the course of the year. Nothing in this subsection
25		prohibits 2 or more State's attorneys from combining their
26		subsidies to appoint a joint assistant State's attorney to

8		them to teach science or mathematics at the secondary school
9		level.
10		(b) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be issued
11		pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Commission;

14		amendatory Act of 1993 pursuant to the exercise of any right,
15		power, duty, responsibility or matter of pending business
16		transferred from the State Board of Education to the Commission
17		under this Section shall be affected thereby, and all such

23		(c) Each scholarship shall be utilized by its holder for
24		the payment of tuition at any qualified institution of higher
25		learning. Such tuition shall be available only for courses that
26		will enable the teacher to be certified to teach science or

HB1292 Engrossed - 249 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		mathematics at the secondary school level. The Commission, in
2		consultation with the State Teacher Certification Board, shall
3		determine which courses are eligible for tuition payments under
4		this Section.
5		(d) The Commission shall make tuition payments directly to
6		the qualified institution of higher learning which the teacher

8		teacher. Any teacher who receives payments and who fails to

10		the Commission.
11		(e) Following the completion of the program of study, the
12		teacher must accept employment within 2 years in a secondary

17		school in Illinois which is more than 60 miles from the
18		teacher's residence. Teachers who fail to comply with this
19		provision shall refund all of the scholarship awarded to the
20		Commission, whether payments were made directly to the
21		institutions of higher learning or to the teachers, and this
22		condition shall be agreed to in writing by all scholarship
23		recipients at the time the scholarship is awarded. No teacher
24		shall be required to refund tuition payments if his or her
25		failure to obtain employment as a mathematics or science
26		teacher in a secondary school is the result of financial

HB1292 Engrossed - 250 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b

2		promulgated as provided in this Section shall include

4		(f) The Commission, with the cooperation of the State Board
5		of Education, shall assist teachers who have participated in

7		employment to teach science or mathematics at the secondary
8		level.
9		(g) This Section is substantially the same as Section 30-4b
10		of the School Code, which Section is repealed by this
11		amendatory Act of 1993, and shall be construed as a
12		continuation of the science-mathematics teacher scholarship
13		program established by that prior law, and not as a new or
14		different science-mathematics teacher scholarship program. The
15		State Board of Education shall transfer to the Commission, as
16		the successor to the State Board of Education for all purposes
17		of administering and implementing the provisions of this
18		Section, all books, accounts, records, papers, documents,
19		contracts, agreements, and pending business in any way relating

22		awarded under that program by, and all applications for any
23		such scholarships at any time made to, the State Board of

25		to individuals who make application to the Commission and who

HB1292 Engrossed - 252 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		agree to take courses at qualified institutions of higher
2		learning which will prepare them to teach in areas of
3		identified staff shortages.
4		(b) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be issued
5		pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Commission;
6		provided that no rule or regulation promulgated by the State
7		Board of Education prior to the effective date of this
8		amendatory Act of 1993 pursuant to the exercise of any right,
9		power, duty, responsibility or matter of pending business
10		transferred from the State Board of Education to the Commission
11		under this Section shall be affected thereby, and all such
12		rules and regulations shall become the rules and regulations of
13		the Commission until modified or changed by the Commission in
14		accordance with law. The Commission shall allocate the
15		scholarships awarded between persons initially preparing to
16		teach, persons holding valid teaching certificates issued
17		under Articles 21 and 34 of the School Code, and persons
18		holding a bachelor's degree from any accredited college or
19		university who have been employed for a minimum of 10 years in
20		a field other than teaching.
21		(c) Each scholarship shall be utilized by its holder for
22		the payment of tuition and non-revenue bond fees at any
23		qualified institution of higher learning. Such tuition and fees
24		shall be available only for courses that will enable the
25		individual to be certified to teach in areas of identified
26		staff shortages. The Commission shall determine which courses

HB1292 Engrossed - 253 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		are eligible for tuition payments under this Section.
2		(d) The Commission may make tuition payments directly to
3		the qualified institution of higher learning which the
4		individual attends for the courses prescribed or may make
5		payments to the teacher. Any teacher who received payments and
6		who fails to enroll in the courses prescribed shall refund the
7		payments to the Commission.
8		(e) Following the completion of the program of study,
9		persons who held valid teaching certificates and persons
10		holding a bachelor's degree from any accredited college or
11		university who have been employed for a minimum of 10 years in
12		a field other than teaching prior to receiving a teacher
13		shortage scholarship must accept employment within 2 years in a
14		school in Illinois within 60 miles of the person's residence to
15		teach in an area of identified staff shortage for a period of
16		at least 3 years; provided, however that any such person
17		instead may elect to accept employment within such 2 year
18		period to teach in an area of identified staff shortage for a
19		period of at least 3 years in a school in Illinois which is
20		more than 60 miles from such person's residence. Persons
21		initially preparing to teach prior to receiving a teacher
22		shortage scholarship must accept employment within 2 years in a
23		school in Illinois to teach in an area of identified staff
24		shortage for a period of at least 3 years. Individuals who fail
25		to comply with this provision shall refund all of the
26		scholarships awarded to the Commission, whether payments were

HB1292 Engrossed - 254 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		made directly to the institutions of higher learning or to the
2		individuals, and this condition shall be agreed to in writing
3		by all scholarship recipients at the time the scholarship is
4		awarded. No individual shall be required to refund tuition
5		payments if his or her failure to obtain employment as a
6		teacher in a school is the result of financial conditions
7		within school districts. The rules and regulations promulgated
8		as provided in this Section shall contain provisions regarding
9		the waiving and deferral of such payments.
10		(f) The Commission, with the cooperation of the State Board
11		of Education, shall assist individuals who have participated in
12		the scholarship program established by this Section in finding
13		employment in areas of identified staff shortages.
14		(g) Beginning in September, 1994 and annually thereafter,
15		the Commission, using data annually supplied by the State Board
16		of Education under procedures developed by it to measure the
17		level of shortage of qualified bilingual personnel serving
18		students with disabilities, shall annually publish (i) the
19		level of shortage of qualified bilingual personnel serving
20		students with disabilities, and (ii) allocations of

2		every 5 years, and any proposed amendments to the plan shall be
3		submitted for review in accordance with subsection (f).
4		(c) Each waste reduction plan shall address, at a minimum,
5		the following topics: existing waste generation by volume,
6		waste composition, existing waste reduction and recycling
7		activities, waste collection and disposal costs, future waste
8		management methods, and specific goals to reduce the amount of
9		waste generated that is subject to landfill disposal.
10		(d) Each waste reduction plan shall provide for recycling
11		of marketable materials currently present in the institution's
12		waste stream, including but not limited to landscape waste,
13		corrugated cardboard, computer paper, and white office paper,
14		and shall provide for the investigation of potential markets
15		for other recyclable materials present in the institution's
16		waste stream. The recycling provisions of the waste reduction
17		plan shall be designed to achieve, by January 1, 2000, at least
18		a 40% reduction (referenced to a base year of 1987) in the
19		amount of solid waste that is generated by the institution and

1		products with recycled content may be substituted. Each waste
2		reduction plan shall prescribe that it will be the policy of
3		the institution to purchase products with recycled content
4		whenever such products have met specifications and standards of
5		equivalent products which do not contain recycled content.

22		(415 ILCS 55/7) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 7457)
23		Sec. 7. (a) The Department, with the advice of the
24		Committee and the Council, shall develop a coordinated

HB1292 Engrossed - 290 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		groundwater data collection and automation program. The
2		collected and automated data shall include but need not be
3		limited to groundwater monitoring results, well logs,
4		pollution source permits and water quality assessments. The
5		Department shall act as the repository for such data and shall
6		automate this data in a manner that is accessible and usable by
7		all State agencies.
8		(b) The Department, in consultation with the Agency, the
9		Committee and the Council, shall develop and administer an
10		ongoing program of basic and applied research relating to
11		groundwater. Information generated from this program will be
12		made available to local governments seeking technical
13		assistance from the Department. The research program shall
14		include but need not be limited to:
15		(1) Long-term statewide groundwater quality
16		monitoring. A statewide monitoring well network shall be
17		composed of public water supply wells sampled by the
18		Agency, non-community wells sampled by the Department of
19		Public Health, and a representative sampling of other
20		existing private wells and newly constructed, dedicated
21		monitoring wells. The monitoring program shall be operated
22		for the following purposes: to evaluate, over time, the
23		appropriateness and effectiveness of groundwater quality
24		protection measures; to determine regional trends in
25		groundwater quality which may affect public health and
26		welfare; and to help identify the need for corrective

HB1292 Engrossed - 291 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		action. The Department shall periodically publish the
2		results of groundwater quality monitoring activities.
3		(2) Statewide groundwater assessment. The Department
4		shall conduct assessments to enhance the State's data base
5		concerning groundwater resources. The assessments shall
6		include location of groundwater resources, mapping of
7		aquifers, identification of appropriate recharge areas,
8		and evaluation of baseline groundwater quality. The
9		Department shall complete the statewide mapping of
10		appropriate recharge areas within 18 months after the
11		enactment of this Act at a level of detail suitable for
12		guiding the Agency in establishing priority groundwater
13		protection planning regions.
14		(3) Evaluation of pesticide impacts upon groundwater.
15		Such evaluation shall include the general location and
16		extent of any contamination of groundwaters resulting from
17		pesticide use, determination of any practices which may
18		contribute to contamination of groundwaters, and
19		recommendations regarding measures which may help prevent
20		degradation of groundwater quality by pesticides. Priority
21		shall be given to those areas of the State where pesticides
22		are utilized most intensively. The Department shall
23		prepare an initial report by January 1, 1990.
24		(4) Other basic and applied research. The Department
25		may conduct research in at least the following areas:
26		groundwater hydrology and hydraulics, movement of

HB1292 Engrossed - 292 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		contaminants through geologic materials, aquifer
2		restoration, and remediation technologies.
3		(c) The Department is authorized to accept and expend,
4		subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, any and all
5		grants, matching funds, appropriations from whatever source,
6		or other items of value from the federal or state governments
7		or from any institution, person, partnership, joint venture, or
8		corporation, public or private, for the purposes of fulfilling
9		its obligations under this Act.
10		(d) Southern Illinois University at Carbondale is
11		authorized to conduct basic and applied research relating to
12		chemical contamination of groundwater. It may assist the
13		Department in conducting research on any of the subjects
14		included in subsection (b) of this Section, and may accept and
15		expend grants and other support from the Department or other
16		sources for that purpose.

HB1292 Engrossed - 293 - LRB100 02980 NHT 12985 b
1		the State of Illinois or upon any regulation adopted thereunder
2		by an executive or administrative officer or agency; provided,
3		however, the court shall not have jurisdiction (i) to hear or
4		determine claims arising under the Workers' Compensation Act or
5		the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, or claims for expenses
6		in civil litigation, or (ii) to review administrative decisions
7		for which a statute provides that review shall be in the
8		circuit or appellate court.
9		(b) All claims against the State founded upon any contract
10		entered into with the State of Illinois.
11		(c) All claims against the State for time unjustly served
12		in prisons of this State when the person imprisoned received a
13		pardon from the governor stating that such pardon is issued on
14		the ground of innocence of the crime for which he or she was
15		imprisoned or he or she received a certificate of innocence
16		from the Circuit Court as provided in Section 2-702 of the Code
17		of Civil Procedure; provided, the amount of the award is at the
18		discretion of the court; and provided, the court shall make no
19		award in excess of the following amounts: for imprisonment of 5
20		years or less, not more than $85,350; for imprisonment of 14
21		years or less but over 5 years, not more than $170,000; for
22		imprisonment of over 14 years, not more than $199,150; and

7		year. The transmission by the Prisoner Review Board or the
8		clerk of the circuit court of the information described in
9		Section 11(b) to the clerk of the Court of Claims is conclusive
10		evidence of the validity of the claim. The changes made by this
