represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||

amended by changing Sections 5-115, 5-120, and 5-125 as | ||||
follows:
| ||||
(5 ILCS 100/5-115) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-115)
| ||||
Sec. 5-115. Other action by the Joint Committee.
| ||||
(a) If the Joint Committee determines that the adoption and | ||||
effectiveness
of a proposed rule, amendment, or repealer or | ||||
portion of a proposed rule,
amendment, or repealer by an agency | ||||
would be objectionable under any of the
standards for the Joint | ||||
Committee's review specified in Section 5-100,
5-105, 5-110, | ||||
5-120, or 5-130 and would constitute a serious threat
to the | ||||
public interest, safety, or welfare, the Joint Committee may
| ||||
issue a statement to that effect at any time before the | ||||
proposed rule,
amendment, or repealer takes effect. The | ||||
statement may be issued by the
Joint Committee only upon the | ||||
affirmative vote of three-fifths of the
members appointed to | ||||
the Joint Committee. The Joint Committee, however, may withdraw | ||||
a statement within 180 days after it is issued upon the | ||||
affirmative vote of a majority of the members appointed to the | ||||
Joint Committee. A certified copy of each
the
statement and | ||||
withdrawal shall be transmitted to the proposing agency and to | ||||
the Secretary
of State for publication in the next available | ||||
issue of the Illinois Register.
| ||||
(b) The proposed rule, amendment, or repealer or the | ||||
portion of the proposed
rule, amendment, or repealer to which | ||||
the Joint Committee has issued a
statement under subsection (a) | ||||
shall not be accepted for filing by the
Secretary of State nor | ||||
take effect unless the statement is withdrawn or a joint | ||||
resolution is passed as provided in subsection (c)
for at least |
180 days after receipt of
the statement by the Secretary of | ||
State . The agency may not enforce or
invoke for any reason a | ||
proposed rule, amendment, or repealer or any
portion thereof | ||
that is prohibited from being filed by this subsection
during | ||
this 180 day period .
| ||
(c) After
The Joint Committee shall, as soon as practicable | ||
after the issuance
of a statement under subsection (a), any | ||
member of the General Assembly may introduce in either house of
| ||
the General
Assembly a joint resolution stating that the | ||
General Assembly desires to discontinue
continue the | ||
prohibition against the proposed rule, amendment, or repealer
| ||
or the portion thereof to which the statement was issued being | ||
filed and
taking effect. The joint resolution shall, | ||
immediately following its first
reading, be placed on the | ||
calendar for consideration in each house of the
General | ||
Assembly without reference to a standing committee. If the | ||
joint
resolution is not passed by both houses of the General | ||
Assembly within the 180
days after receipt of the statement by | ||
the Secretary of State or the statement is not withdrawn as | ||
provided in subsection (a)
day period provided in subsection | ||
(b) , the agency shall be prohibited from
filing the proposed | ||
rule, amendment, or repealer or the portion thereof and
the | ||
proposed rule, amendment, or repealer or the portion thereof
| ||
shall not take effect. The Secretary of State shall not accept | ||
for filing
the proposed rule, amendment, or repealer or the | ||
portion thereof with respect to which the Joint Committee has | ||
issued a statement under subsection (a) unless that statement | ||
is withdrawn or a joint resolution is passed as provided in | ||
this subsection.
that the
General Assembly has prohibited the | ||
agency from filing as provided in this
subsection. If the | ||
180-day
180 day period provided in subsection (b) expires | ||
before
passage of the joint resolution, the agency may not file | ||
the proposed rule,
amendment, or repealer or the portion | ||
thereof as adopted and it shall not
take effect.
| ||
(d) If a statement is issued under this Section, then, in | ||
response to an objection or suggestion of the Joint Committee, |
the agency may propose changes to the proposed rule, amendment, | ||
or repealer or portion of a proposed rule, amendment, or | ||
repealer. If the agency proposes changes, it must provide | ||
additional notice to the Joint Committee under the same terms | ||
and conditions and shall be subject to the same requirements | ||
and limitations as those set forth for a second notice period | ||
under subsection (c) of Section 5-40.

| ||
Sec. 5-120. Responsibilities of the Joint Committee with | ||
respect to
emergency, peremptory, and other existing rules.
| ||
(a) The Joint Committee may examine any rule to determine | ||
whether the rule
is within the statutory authority upon which | ||
it is based and whether the rule
is in proper form.
| ||
(b) If the Joint Committee objects to a rule, it shall, | ||
within 5 days
of the objection, certify the fact to the | ||
adopting agency and include within
the certification a | ||
statement of its specific objections.
| ||
(c) Within 90 days after receiving the certification, the | ||
agency shall
do one of the following:
| ||
(1) Notify the Joint Committee that it has elected to | ||
amend the rule to
meet the Joint Committee's objection.
| ||
(2) Notify the Joint Committee that it has elected to | ||
repeal the rule.
| ||
(3) Notify the Joint Committee that it refuses to amend | ||
or repeal
the rule.
| ||
(d) If the agency elects to amend a rule to meet the Joint | ||
Committee's
objections, it shall notify the Joint Committee in | ||
writing and shall initiate
rulemaking procedures for that | ||
purpose by giving notice as required by
Section 5-35. The Joint | ||
Committee shall give priority to rules
so amended when setting | ||
its agenda.
| ||
(e) If the agency elects to repeal a rule as a result of | ||
the Joint
Committee's objections, it shall notify the Joint | ||
Committee in writing of
its election and shall initiate |
rulemaking procedures for that purpose by
giving notice as | ||
required by Section 5-35.
| ||
(f) If the agency elects to amend or repeal a rule as a | ||
result of the
Joint Committee's objections, it shall complete | ||
the process within 180 days
after giving notice in the Illinois | ||
Register.
| ||
(g) Failure of the agency to respond to the Joint | ||
Committee's objections
to a rule within the time prescribed in | ||
subsection (c) shall constitute
a refusal to amend or repeal | ||
the rule.
| ||
(h) If an agency refuses to amend or repeal a rule to | ||
remedy an
objection stated by the Joint Committee, it shall | ||
notify the Joint Committee
in writing of its refusal and shall | ||
submit a notice of refusal to the Secretary
of State. The | ||
notice shall be published in the next available issue of the
| ||
Illinois Register. If the Joint Committee, in response to an | ||
agency
refusal, decides to suspend the rule, then it may do so | ||
pursuant to Section 5-125.

implement the recommendations of the Joint
Committee.

| ||
Sec. 5-125. Other Joint Committee action with respect to | ||
emergency or
peremptory rulemaking.
| ||
(a) If the Joint Committee determines that a rule or | ||
portion of a rule
adopted under Section 5-45 or 5-50 is | ||
objectionable under any of the standards
for the Joint | ||
Committee's review specified in Section 5-100, 5-105, 5-110,
| ||
5-120, or 5-130 and constitutes a serious threat to the public | ||
interest,
safety, or welfare, the Joint Committee may issue a | ||
statement to that effect.
The statement may be issued by the | ||
Joint Committee only upon the affirmative
vote of three-fifths | ||
of the members appointed to the Joint Committee. The Joint | ||
Committee, however, may withdraw a statement within 180 days |
after it is issued upon the affirmative vote of a majority of | ||
the members appointed to the Joint Committee. A
certified copy | ||
of each
the statement and withdrawal shall be transmitted to | ||
the affected agency and
to the Secretary of State for | ||
publication in the next available issue of the
Illinois | ||
Register. Within 30 days of transmittal of the statement to the
| ||
agency, the agency shall notify the Joint Committee in writing | ||
whether it has
elected to repeal or amend the rule. Failure of | ||
the agency to notify the Joint
Committee and Secretary of State | ||
within 30 days constitutes a decision by the
agency to not | ||
repeal the rule.
| ||
(b) The effectiveness of the rule or the portion of a rule | ||
shall be
suspended immediately for at least 180 days upon | ||
receipt of the certified
statement by the Secretary of State. | ||
The Secretary of State shall indicate
the suspension | ||
prominently and clearly on the face of the affected rule or
the | ||
portion of a rule filed in the Office of the Secretary of | ||
State. Rules
or portions of rules suspended under this | ||
subsection shall not become effective
again unless the | ||
statement is withdrawn as provided in subsection (a) or unless | ||
within
upon the expiration of 180 days from receipt of the | ||
statement by the
Secretary of State ,
if the General Assembly | ||
discontinues
does not
continue the suspension
by joint | ||
resolution under subsection (c). The agency may not enforce, or | ||
invoke for any
reason, a rule or portion of a rule that has | ||
been suspended under this
subsection.
During the 180-day
180 | ||
day period, the agency may not file, nor may
the Secretary of | ||
State accept for filing, any rule that (i) has
having | ||
substantially the
same purpose and effect as rules or portions | ||
of rules suspended under this
subsection or (ii) does not | ||
substantially address the statement issued under subsection | ||
(a), except as otherwise provided in this Section .
| ||
(c) After
The Joint Committee shall, as soon as practicable | ||
after the issuance of
a statement under subsection (a), any | ||
member of the General Assembly may introduce in
cause to be | ||
introduced in either house
of the General Assembly a joint |
resolution stating that the General Assembly
desires to | ||
discontinue
continue the suspension of effectiveness of a rule | ||
or the portion
of the rule to which the statement was issued. | ||
The joint resolution shall
immediately following its first | ||
reading be placed on the calendar for
consideration in each | ||
house of the General Assembly without reference to a
standing | ||
committee. If the joint resolution is not passed by both houses | ||
of the
General Assembly within the 180-day
180 day period | ||
provided in subsection (b) or the statement is not withdrawn , | ||
the
rule or the portion of the rule shall be considered | ||
repealed and the
Secretary of State shall immediately remove | ||
the rule or portion of a rule
from the collection of effective | ||
rules.
| ||
(d) If a statement is issued under this Section, then, in | ||
response to an objection or suggestion of the Joint Committee, | ||
the agency may propose changes to the rule, amendment, or | ||
repealer or portion of a rule, amendment, or repealer. If the | ||
agency proposes changes, it must provide additional notice to | ||
the Joint Committee under the same terms and conditions and | ||
shall be subject to the same requirements and limitations as | ||
those set forth for a second notice period under subsection (c) | ||
of Section 5-40.

| ||
Section 10. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by | ||
changing Section 30-30 as follows:
| ||
(30 ILCS 500/30-30)
| ||
Sec. 30-30. Contracts in excess of $250,000. For
building | ||
construction contracts in excess of
$250,000, separate | ||
specifications shall be prepared for all
equipment, labor, and | ||
materials in
connection with the following 5 subdivisions of | ||
the work to be
performed:
| ||
(1) plumbing;
| ||
(2) heating, piping, refrigeration, and automatic
| ||
temperature control systems,
including the testing and |
balancing of those systems;
| ||
(3) ventilating and distribution systems for
| ||
conditioned air, including the testing
and balancing of | ||
those systems;
| ||
(4) electric wiring; and
| ||
(5) general contract work.
| ||
The specifications must be so drawn as to permit separate | ||
and
independent bidding upon
each of the 5 subdivisions of | ||
work. All contracts awarded
for any part thereof shall
award | ||
the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and
| ||
reliable persons, firms, or
corporations engaged in these | ||
classes of work. The contracts, at
the discretion of the
| ||
construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder | ||
on
the general contract work or
to the successful bidder on the | ||
subdivision of work designated by
the construction agency | ||
before
the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided | ||
that all
payments will be made directly
to the contractors for | ||
the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance
with the conditions | ||
of the
contract. A contract may be let for one or more | ||
buildings in any
project to the same contractor.
The | ||
specifications shall require, however, that unless the
| ||
buildings are identical, a separate price
shall be submitted | ||
for each building. The contract may be awarded
to the lowest | ||
responsible
bidder for each or all of the buildings included in | ||
the
specifications.
| ||
Until a date 2 years after the effective date of this | ||
amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, the requirements | ||
of this Section do not apply to the construction of an | ||
Emergency Operations Center for the Illinois Emergency | ||
Management Agency if (i) the majority of the funding for the | ||
project is from federal funds, (ii) the bid of the successful | ||
bidder identifies the name of the subcontractor, if any, and | ||
the bid proposal costs for each of the 5 subdivisions of work | ||
set forth in this Section, and (iii) the contract entered into | ||
with the successful bidder provides that no identified | ||
subcontractor may be terminated without the written consent of |
the Capital Development Board.
