| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning finance.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Grant | ||||
Information Collection Act. | ||||
Section 5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, | ||||
unless the context otherwise requires: | ||||
"Grant funds" means any public funds dispensed by a grantor | ||||
agency to any person or entity for obligation, expenditure, or | ||||
use by that person or entity for a specific purpose or purposes | ||||
and any funds disbursed by the State Comptroller pursuant to an | ||||
appropriation made by the General Assembly to a named entity or | ||||
person. Funds disbursed in accordance with a fee for service | ||||
purchase of care contract are not grant funds for purposes of | ||||
this Act. | ||||
Neither the method by which funds are dispensed, whether by | ||||
contract, agreement, grant subsidy, letter of credit, or any | ||||
other method, nor the purpose for which the funds are used can | ||||
change the character of funds which otherwise would be | ||||
considered grant funds as defined in this Section. | ||||
"Grantee" means the person or entity which may use grant | ||||
funds. | ||||
"Grantor agency" means a State agency that dispenses grant | ||||
funds. | ||
"State agency" means State-supported universities and | ||
colleges and any department, office, commission, board, or | ||
authority within the Executive Department, other than the | ||
Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the Office of the Attorney | ||
General, the Office of the Secretary of State, the Office of | ||
the Comptroller, or the Office of the Treasurer. | ||
Section 10. Grant information collection. The Chief | ||
Information Officer of the State, as designated by the | ||
Governor, shall coordinate with each State agency to develop, | ||
with any existing or newly available resources and technology, | ||
appropriate systems to accurately report data containing | ||
financial information. These systems shall include a module | ||
that is specific to the management and administration of grant | ||
funds. | ||
Each grantor agency that is authorized to award grant funds | ||
to an entity other than the State of Illinois shall coordinate | ||
with the Chief Information Officer of the State to provide for | ||
the publication, at data.illinois.gov or any other publicly | ||
accessible website designated by the Chief Information | ||
Officer, of data sets containing information regarding awards | ||
of grant funds that the grantor agency has made during the | ||
previous fiscal year. Data sets shall be published on at least | ||
a quarterly basis and shall include, at a minimum, the | ||
following: | ||
(1) the name of the grantor agency; | ||
(2) the name and postal zip code of the grantee; | ||
(3) a short description of the purpose of the award of | ||
grant funds; | ||
(4) the amount of each award of grant funds; | ||
(5) the date of each award of grant funds; and | ||
(6) the duration of each award of grant funds. | ||
In addition, each grantor agency shall make best efforts, | ||
with available resources and technology, to make available in | ||
the data sets any other data that is relevant to its award of | ||
grant funds. | ||
Data not subject to the requirements of this Section | ||
include data to which a State agency may deny access pursuant | ||
to any provision of a federal, State, or local law, rule, or | ||
regulation.
