HB3816 Engrossed LRB097 13548 PJG 58069 b
AN ACT concerning State government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Gubernatorial Boards and Commissions Act is
amended by adding Section 25 as follows:
(15 ILCS 50/25 new)
Sec. 25. Dissolution of inactive boards and commissions.
(a) Within 10 days after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the Governor shall
make reasonable efforts to notify each statutorily created
board or commission of (i) the reporting requirement imposed
under subsection (b), and (ii) the right of the board or
commission to request that the Governor prevent the dissolution
of the board or commission under subsection (e).
(b) Within 30 days after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, each statutorily
created board or commission not subject to subsection (g) shall
report to the Secretary of State on that board's or
commission's last meeting prior to the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, and the report
shall include the date, time, and location of the meeting.
(c) Within 60 days after the 30-day period set forth in
subsection (b), the Secretary of State shall submit a report to

HB3816 Engrossed - 2 - LRB097 13548 PJG 58069 b
the Governor, the Secretary of the Senate, and the Clerk of the
House of Representatives, listing all statutorily created
boards and commissions that have not met in the 2 years
immediately preceding the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 97th General Assembly. If a board or commission not
subject to subsection (g) does not report to the Secretary of
State pursuant to this subsection, then it shall be deemed to
be inactive and subject to the provisions of subsections (d)
and (e).
(d) Unless the Governor acts pursuant to subsection (e), if
a board or commission has not met at least once during the 2
years prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
97th General Assembly and is reported as inactive pursuant to
subsection (b), then the board or commission is dissolved at
the end of the 75-day period set forth in subsection (e).
(e) Within 75 days after the Governor's receipt of the
report submitted by the Secretary of State under subsection
(c), the Governor may prevent the dissolution of any inactive
board or commission by filing a written statement with the
Secretary of State and the Senate that authorizes the continued
existence of the board or commission and provides a rationale
for why the board or commission needs to exist. Before the
expiration of the 75-day period set forth in this subsection,
each board or commission may request that the Governor prevent
the dissolution of the board or commission in accordance with
this subsection.

HB3816 Engrossed - 3 - LRB097 13548 PJG 58069 b
(f) Within 14 days after the 75-day period set forth in
subsection (e), the Governor shall publish a list of all boards
and commissions dissolved under subsection (d). The
Legislative Reference Bureau shall prepare for introduction no
later than in the annual session of the General Assembly next
occurring after the list is published by the Governor a
revisory bill effecting such changes in the statutes as may be
necessary to conform the statutes to the changes in law made by
the dissolution of the boards and commissions included in the
list published by the Governor. The failure of the General
Assembly to enact such a bill does not affect the validity of
the dissolution of any board or commission under this Section.
(g) Any board or commission created after July 1, 2010 is
exempt from this Section.
