AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1466
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1466, AS AMENDED, by
replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
following:
"Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section
1B-5 and by adding Section 1B-5.5 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/1B-5) (from Ch. 122, par. 1B-5)
Sec. 1B-5. When a petition for emergency financial
assistance for a school district is allowed by the State Board
under Section 1B-4, the State Superintendent shall within 10
days thereafter appoint 3 members to serve at the State
Superintendent's pleasure on a Financial Oversight Panel for
the district. The State Superintendent shall designate one of
the members of the Panel to serve as its Chairman. In the event
of vacancy or resignation the State Superintendent shall
appoint a successor within 10 days of receiving notice thereof.

09700HB1466sam004 - 2 - LRB097 06297 AMC 69564 a
Members of the Panel shall be selected primarily on the
basis of their experience and education in financial
management, with consideration given to persons knowledgeable
in education finance. A member of the Panel may not be a board
member or employee of the district for which the Panel is
constituted, nor may a member have a direct financial interest
in that district.
Annually, a board may petition the State Superintendent for
the removal, replacement, or reassignment of any member or
members of a Panel. The State Board may vote to either grant or
deny the petition based upon the recommendation of the State
Superintendent and any other testimony or documentary evidence
the State Board deems relevant. If the petition is granted, the
State Superintendent shall remove, replace, or reassign the
Panel member within 60 days.
Panel members shall serve without compensation, but may be
reimbursed for travel and other necessary expenses incurred in
the performance of their official duties by the State Board.
The amount reimbursed Panel members for their expenses shall be
charged to the school district as part of any emergency
financial assistance and incorporated as a part of the terms
and conditions for repayment of such assistance or shall be
deducted from the district's general State aid as provided in
Section 1B-8.
The first meeting of the Panel shall be held at the call of
the Chairman. The Panel may elect such other officers as it

09700HB1466sam004 - 3 - LRB097 06297 AMC 69564 a
deems appropriate. The Panel shall prescribe the times and
places for its meetings and the manner in which regular and
special meetings may be called, and shall comply with the Open
Meetings Act.
Two members of the Panel shall constitute a quorum, and the
affirmative vote of 2 members shall be necessary for any
decision or action to be taken by the Panel.
The Panel and the State Superintendent shall cooperate with
each other in the exercise of their respective powers. The
Panel shall report not later than September 1 annually to the
State Board and the State Superintendent with respect to its
activities and the condition of the school district for the
previous fiscal year.
Any Financial Oversight Panel established under this
Article shall remain in existence for not less than 3 years nor
more than 10 years from the date the State Board grants the
petition under Section 1B-4. If after 3 years the school
district has repaid all of its obligations resulting from
emergency State financial assistance provided under this
Article and has improved its financial situation, the board of
education may, not more frequently than once in any 12 month
period, petition the State Board to dissolve the Financial
Oversight Panel, terminate the oversight responsibility, and
remove the district's certification under Section 1A-8 as a
district in financial difficulty. In acting on such a petition
the State Board shall give additional weight to the

09700HB1466sam004 - 4 - LRB097 06297 AMC 69564 a
recommendations of the State Superintendent and the Financial
Oversight Panel.

this Section, a Panel must be abolished 10 years after its

investigation and finding the following:
(1) that none of the factors specified in Section 1A-8
of this Code remain applicable to the district; and
(2) that there has been substantial achievement of the
goals and objectives established pursuant to the financial
plan and required under Section 1B-4 of this Code.
(c) The Panel of a district that otherwise meets all of the
requirements for abolition of a Panel under subsection (b) of
this Section, except for the fact that there are outstanding
financial obligations of the Panel, may petition the State
Board for reinstatement of all of the board's powers and duties
assumed by the Panel; and if approved by the State Board, the

and administer its outstanding obligations;
(2) the board shall once again begin exercising all of
the powers and duties otherwise allowed by statute; and
(3) the Panel must be abolished as provided in
subsection (a) of this Section.
(d) If the Panel of a district otherwise meets all of the
requirements for abolition of a Panel under subsection (b) of
this Section, except for outstanding obligations of the Panel,
then the district may petition the State Board for abolition of
the Panel if the district does the following:
(1) establishes an irrevocable trust fund, the purpose
of which is to provide moneys to defease the outstanding
obligations of the Panel; and
(2) issues funding bonds pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 19-8 and 19-9 of this Code.

(d) must be abolished as provided in subsection (a) of this
