AN ACT concerning State government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|

amended by adding Section 5-45.8 as follows:
|
(5 ILCS 100/5-45.8 new) |
Sec. 5-45.8. Emergency rulemaking; Secretary of State |
emergency powers. To provide for the expeditious and timely |
implementation of the extension provisions of Section 30 of |
the Secretary of State Act, emergency rules implementing the |
extension provisions of Section 30 of the Secretary of State |
Act may be adopted in accordance with Section 5-45 by the |
Secretary of State. The adoption of emergency rules authorized |
by Section 5-45 and this Section is deemed to be necessary for |
the public interest, safety, and welfare. |
This Section is repealed on January 1, 2022.
|
Section 10. The Secretary of State Act is amended by |
changing Section 30 as follows:
|
(15 ILCS 305/30) |
(Section scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2021) |
Sec. 30. Emergency powers. |
|
(a) In response to the ongoing public health disaster |
caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel severe |
acute respiratory illness that spreads rapidly through |
respiratory transmissions, and the need to regulate the number |
of individuals entering a Secretary of State facility at any |
one time in order to prevent the spread of the disease, the |
Secretary of State is hereby given the authority to adopt |
emergency rulemakings, as provided under subsection (b), and |
to adopt permanent administrative rules extending until no |
later than June 30, 2021, the expiration dates of driver's |
licenses, driving permits, monitoring device driving permits, |
restricted driving permits, identification cards, disabled |
parking placards and decals, and vehicle registrations that |
were issued with expiration dates on or after January 1, 2020. |
If, as of May 1, 2021, there remains in effect a proclamation |
issued by the Governor of the State of Illinois declaring a |
statewide disaster in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, |
the Secretary may further extend such expiration dates until |
no later than December 31, 2021. Upon the Governor of the State |
of Illinois issuing a statewide disaster proclamation based on |
a health pandemic or similar emergency, the Secretary may |
extend for the duration of the proclaimed disaster and for up |
to a period of 120 days beyond the expiration of the disaster |
proclamation: |
(1) the expiration dates of driver's licenses, driving |
permits, identification cards, disabled parking placards |
|
and decals, and vehicle registrations; and |
(2) the expiration dates of professional licenses, |
registrations, certifications and commissions issued by |
the Secretary, including but not limited to, vehicle |
dealership licenses, commercial driver training school |
licenses, and securities, broker and investment adviser |
registrations. |
After the initial 120-day extension, the Secretary may |
adopt subsequent 30-day extensions only upon a determination |
that circumstances necessitate additional extensions. The |
Secretary must adopt any subsequent 30-day extension prior to |
the previous lapsing. |
(a-5) During the period of any extensions implemented |
pursuant to this Section, all driver's licenses, driving |
permits, monitoring device driving permits, restricted driving |
permits, identification cards, disabled parking placards and |
decals, and vehicle registrations shall be subject to any |
terms and conditions under which the original document was |
issued. |
(b) To provide for the expeditious and timely |
implementation of this amendatory Act of the 101st General |
Assembly, any emergency rules to implement the extension |
provisions of this Section must be adopted by the Secretary of |
State, subject to the provisions of Section 5-45 of the |
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Any such rule shall: |
(1) (blank); identify the disaster proclamation |
|
authorizing the rulemaking; |
(2) set forth the expirations being extended (for |
example, "this extension shall apply to all driver's |
licenses, driving permits, monitoring device driving |
permits, restricted driving permits, identification cards, |
disabled parking placards and decals, and vehicle |
registrations expiring on [date] through [date]"); and |
(3) set forth the date on which the extension period |
becomes effective, and the date on which the extension |
will terminate if not extended by subsequent emergency |
rulemaking. |
(c) Where the renewal of any driver's license, driving |
permit, monitoring device driving permit, restricted driving |
permit, identification card, disabled parking placard or |
decal, or vehicle registration, or professional license, |
registration, certification or commission has been extended |
pursuant to this Section, it shall be renewed during the |
period of an extension. Any such renewal shall be from the |
original expiration date and shall be subject to the full fee |
which would have been due had the renewal been issued based on |
the original expiration date, except that no late filing fees |
or penalties shall be imposed. |
(d) All law enforcement agencies in the State of Illinois |
and all State and local governmental entities shall recognize |
the validity of, and give full legal force to, extensions |
granted pursuant to this Section. |
|
(e) Upon the request of any person or entity whose |
driver's license, driving permit, monitoring device driving |
permit, restricted driving permit, identification card, |
disabled parking placard or decal, or vehicle registration, or |
professional license, registration, certification or |
commission has been subject to an extension under this |
Section, the Secretary shall issue a statement verifying the |
extension was issued pursuant to Illinois law, and requesting |
any foreign jurisdiction to honor the extension. |
(f) This Section is repealed on January 1, 2022 June 30, |
2021.

Section 15. The Illinois Library System Act is amended by |
changing Sections 8.1 and 8.4 as follows:
|
(75 ILCS 10/8.1) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.1)
|
Sec. 8.1.
The State Librarian shall make grants annually
|
under this Section to all qualified public libraries in the
|
State from funds appropriated by the General Assembly. Such
|
grants shall be in the amount of up to $1.475 $1.25 per capita |
for the
population of the area served by the respective public
|
library and, in addition, the amount of up to $0.19 per capita |
to libraries
serving populations over 500,000 under the |
Illinois Major Urban Library
Program. If the moneys |
appropriated for grants under this
Section fail to meet the |
|
$1.475 $1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the |
funding shall be decreased pro rata so that qualifying public |
libraries receive the same amount per capita. If the moneys |
appropriated for grants under this Section exceed the $1.475 |
$1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the funding |
shall be increased pro rata so that qualifying public |
libraries receive the same amount per capita.
|
To be eligible for grants under this Section, a public |
library must:
|
(1) Provide, as determined by the State Librarian, |
library services
which either meet or show progress toward |
meeting the Illinois library
standards, as most recently |
adopted by the Illinois Library Association.
|
(2) Be a public library for which is levied a tax for
|
library purposes at a rate not less than .13% or a county |
library for which
is levied a tax for library purposes at a |
rate not less than .07%.
If a library is subject to the |
Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the
Property Tax |
Code and its tax levy for library purposes has been |
lowered to a
rate of less than .13%, this requirement will |
be waived if the library
qualified
for this grant in the |
previous year and if the tax levied for library purposes
|
in the current year produces tax revenue for library |
purposes that is an
increase over the previous year's |
extension of 5% or the percentage increase in
the Consumer |
Price Index, whichever is less. Beginning in State Fiscal |
|
Year 2012, the eligibility requirement in this subsection |
shall be waived if a library's tax levy for library |
purposes has been lowered to a rate of less than 0.13%, and |
the State Librarian determines that the library (i) |
continues to meet the requirements of item (1) of this |
Section and (ii) received a grant under this Section in |
the previous fiscal year.
|
Any other language in this Section to the contrary
|
notwithstanding, grants under this Section 8.1 shall be made
|
only upon application of the public library concerned, which
|
applications shall be entirely voluntary and within the sole
|
discretion of the public library concerned.
|
In order to be eligible for a grant under this Section, the |
corporate
authorities, in lieu of a tax levy at a particular |
rate, may provide
funds from other sources, an amount |
equivalent to the amount to be produced
by that levy.

(75 ILCS 10/8.4) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.4)
|
Sec. 8.4. School library grants. Beginning July 1, 1989, |
the State
Librarian shall make grants
annually under this |
Section to all school districts in the State for the
|
establishment and operation of qualified school libraries, or |
the additional
support of existing qualified school libraries, |
from funds appropriated
by the General Assembly. Such grants |
shall be in the amount of $0.885 $0.75 per
student as |
|
determined by the official enrollment as of the previous
|
September 30 of the respective school having a qualified |
school library. If
the
moneys appropriated for grants under |
this Section are not sufficient,
the State Librarian shall |
reduce the amount of the grants as necessary; in
making these |
reductions, the State Librarian shall endeavor to provide each
|
school district that has a qualifying school library (i)
at |
least the same amount per student as the district
received |
under this Section in the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) a |
total
grant of at least $850 $750, which, in the event of an |
insufficient appropriation, shall not be reduced to a total |
grant of less than $100.
|
To qualify for grants under this Section, a school library |
must:
|
(1) Be an entity which serves the basic information |
and library needs
of the school's employees and students |
through a bibliographically
organized collection of |
library materials, has at least one employee whose
primary |
duty is to serve as a librarian, and has a collection |
permanently
supported financially, accessible centrally, |
and occupying identifiable
quarters in one principal |
location.
|
(2) Meet the requirements for membership in a library |
system under the
provisions of this Act.
|
(3) Have applied for membership in the library system |
of jurisdiction if
the system is a multitype library |
|
system under this Act.
|
(4) Provide, as mutually determined by the Illinois |
State Librarian and
the Illinois State Board of Education, |
library services which either meet
or show progress toward |
meeting the Illinois school library standards as
most |
recently adopted by the Illinois School Library Media |
Association.
|
(5) Submit a statement certifying that the financial |
support for
the school library or libraries
of the |
applying school district has been maintained undiminished, |
or if
diminished, the percentage of diminution of |
financial support is no more
than the percentage of |
diminution of the applying school's total financial
|
support for educational and operations purposes since the |
submission of the
last previous application of the school |
district for the school library per
student grant that was |
funded.
|
Grants under this Section shall be made only upon |
application of the
school district for its qualified school |
library or school libraries.
