Section 45. The Western Illinois University Law is amended
by changing Section 35-95 as follows:
(110 ILCS 690/35-95)
Sec. 35-95. Child care services.
(a) For the purposes of this Section, "child care services"
means day care home or center services as defined by the Child
Care Act of 1969.
(b) The Board may contract for the provision of child care
services for its employees and shall contract for the provision
of child care services on campus for its students. The Board
may, in accordance with established rules, allow day care
centers to operate in State-owned or leased facilities. Such
day care centers shall be primarily for use by State employees
or students of Western Illinois University but use by
non-employees or non-students may be allowed.
Where the Board enters into a contract to construct,
acquire or lease all or a substantial portion of a building, in
which more than 50 persons shall be employed, other than a
renewal of an existing lease, and where a need has been
demonstrated, according to subsection (c), on-site child care
services shall be provided for employees of Western Illinois
University.

HB4102 - 23 - LRB101 16242 CMG 65615 b
The Board shall implement this Section and shall promulgate
all rules and regulations necessary for this purpose. By
September 1, 1996, the Board shall propose rules setting forth
the standards and criteria, including need and feasibility, for
determining if on-site September child care services for
employees shall be provided. The Board shall consult with the
Department of Children and Family Services in defining
standards for child care service centers established pursuant
to this Section to ensure compliance with the Child Care Act of
1969. The Board shall establish a schedule of fees that shall
be charged for child care services under this Section. The
schedule shall be established so that charges for service for
employees are based on the actual cost of care and charges for
service for students are reduced or service is free of charge,
depending on the student's income. Except as otherwise provided
by law for employees who may qualify for public assistance or
social services due to indigency or family circumstance, each
employee obtaining child care services under this Section shall
be responsible for full payment of all charges. The Board shall
report, on or before December 31, 1996, to the Governor and the
members of the General Assembly, on the feasibility and
implementation of a plan for the provision of comprehensive
child care services.
(c) Prior to contracting for child care services for its
employees, the Board shall determine a need for child care
services. Proof of need may include a survey of University

HB4102 - 24 - LRB101 16242 CMG 65615 b
employees as well as a determination of the availability of
child care services through other State agencies, or in the
community. The Board may also require submission of a
feasibility, design, and implementation plan that takes into
consideration similar needs and services for employees of other
State universities.
(d) The Board shall have the sole responsibility for
choosing the successful bidder and overseeing the operation of
its child care service program within the guidelines
established by the Board. The Board shall promulgate rules
under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act that detail the
specific standards to be used in the selection of a vendor of
child care services.
The contract shall provide for the establishment of or
arrangement for the use of a licensed day care center or a
licensed day care agency, as defined in the Child Care Act of
1969.
