13 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
14 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
15 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
16 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
17 | and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

7 | (720 ILCS 648/39.6 new) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 39.6. Illinois State Police Precursor Tracking | ||||||
9 | Program; general provisions. | ||||||
10 | (a) Purposes. The purposes of this Section are: to | ||||||
11 | establish a pilot program based in Adams, Madison, and | ||||||
12 | Vermilion Counties to track purchases of targeted | ||||||
13 | methamphetamine precursors at multiple locations; to identify | ||||||
14 | persons obtaining or distributing targeted methamphetamine | ||||||
15 | precursors for the likely purpose of manufacturing | ||||||
16 | methamphetamine; to starve methamphetamine manufacturers of | ||||||
17 | the methamphetamine precursors they need to make | ||||||
18 | methamphetamine; to locate and shut down methamphetamine | ||||||
19 | laboratories; and ultimately to reduce the harm that | ||||||
20 | methamphetamine manufacturing and manufacturers are inflicting | ||||||
21 | on individuals, families, communities, first responders, the | ||||||
22 | economy, and the environment in Illinois and beyond. In | ||||||
23 | authorizing this pilot program, the General Assembly | ||||||
24 | recognizes that, although this Act has significantly reduced | ||||||
25 | the number of methamphetamine laboratories in Illinois, some |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | persons continue to violate the Act, evade detection, and | ||||||
2 | support the manufacture of methamphetamine by obtaining | ||||||
3 | targeted methamphetamine precursor at multiple locations. The | ||||||
4 | General Assembly further recognizes that putting an end to this | ||||||
5 | practice and others like it will require an effort to track | ||||||
6 | purchases of targeted methamphetamine precursor across | ||||||
7 | multiple locations, and that a pilot program coordinated by the | ||||||
8 | Illinois State Police in Adams, Madison, and Vermilion Counties | ||||||
9 | will advance this important goal. | ||||||
10 | (b) Structure. | ||||||
11 | (1) There is established a pilot program coordinated by | ||||||
12 | the Illinois State Police in Adams, Madison, and Vermilion | ||||||
13 | Counties, known as the Illinois State Police Precursor | ||||||
14 | Tracking Program or Pilot Program, to track purchases of | ||||||
15 | targeted methamphetamine precursor across multiple | ||||||
16 | locations for the purposes stated in subsection (a) of this | ||||||
17 | Section. | ||||||
18 | (2) The Pilot Program known as the Illinois State | ||||||
19 | Police Precursor Tracking Program or the Pilot Program | ||||||
20 | Authority shall be operated by the
Illinois State Police in | ||||||
21 | accordance with the provisions of Sections 39.6, 39.7, | ||||||
22 | 39.8, 39.9, and 39.9-5 of this Act. | ||||||
23 | (3) The Pilot Program Authority shall designate a
| ||||||
24 | Central Repository for the collection of required | ||||||
25 | information, and the Central Repository shall operate | ||||||
26 | according to the provisions of Sections 39.6, 39.7, 39.8, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 39.9, and 39.9-5 of this Act. | ||||||
2 | (4) Every covered pharmacy shall participate in the
| ||||||
3 | Pilot Program, and any non-covered pharmacy may | ||||||
4 | participate on a voluntary basis and be known as a | ||||||
5 | voluntary participant. | ||||||
6 | (c) Transmission of electronic transaction records. Except | ||||||
7 | as provided in Section 39.9: | ||||||
8 | (1) Each time a covered pharmacy distributes a
targeted | ||||||
9 | methamphetamine precursor to a recipient under Section 25 | ||||||
10 | of this Act, the covered pharmacy shall transmit an | ||||||
11 | electronic transaction record to the Central Repository. | ||||||
12 | (2) Each covered pharmacy shall elect to transmit
| ||||||
13 | electronic transaction records either through the secure | ||||||
14 | website described in Section 39.7 of this Act or through | ||||||
15 | weekly electronic transfers as described in Section 39.8 of | ||||||
16 | this Act. | ||||||
17 | (d) Operation and Timeline for implementation. | ||||||
18 | (1) Except as stated in this subsection, this
| ||||||
19 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
20 | operational upon the effective date of this amendatory Act. | ||||||
21 | (2) Covered pharmacies are not required to transmit
any | ||||||
22 | electronic transaction records and exempt pharmacies are | ||||||
23 | not required to send any handwritten logs to the Central | ||||||
24 | Repository until the reporting start date set by the Pilot | ||||||
25 | Program Authority. | ||||||
26 | (3) The Pilot Program Authority shall announce the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "reporting start date" within 90 days after the date this | ||||||
2 | legislation becomes law. | ||||||
3 | (4) The reporting start date shall be no sooner than
90 | ||||||
4 | days after the date on which the Pilot Program Authority | ||||||
5 | announces the reporting start date. | ||||||
6 | (5) Starting on the reporting start date, and
| ||||||
7 | continuing for a period of one year thereafter, covered | ||||||
8 | pharmacies shall transmit electronic transaction records | ||||||
9 | as described in Sections 39.7 and 39.8 of this Act, and | ||||||
10 | exempt pharmacies shall send handwritten logs as described | ||||||
11 | in Section 39.9 of this Act. | ||||||
12 | (6) Nothing in this Act shall preclude covered
| ||||||
13 | pharmacies and exempt pharmacies from voluntarily | ||||||
14 | participating in the Pilot Program before the start date or | ||||||
15 | continuing to participate in the Pilot Program after one | ||||||
16 | year after the reporting start date. | ||||||
17 | (e) Funding. Funding for the Pilot Program shall be | ||||||
18 | provided by the Illinois State Police, drawing upon federal | ||||||
19 | grant money and other available sources. If funding is delayed, | ||||||
20 | curtailed, or otherwise unavailable, the Pilot Program | ||||||
21 | Authority may delay implementation of the Pilot Program, reduce | ||||||
22 | the number of counties covered by the Pilot Program, or end the | ||||||
23 | Pilot Program early. If any such change becomes necessary, the | ||||||
24 | Illinois State Police shall inform every covered pharmacy in | ||||||
25 | writing. | ||||||
26 | (f) Training. The Illinois State Police shall provide, free |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of charge, training and assistance to any pharmacy playing any | ||||||
2 | role in the Pilot Program. | ||||||

8 | or federal law or rule. | ||||||
9 | (h) Duration and report to the Governor and General | ||||||
10 | Assembly. The duration of the Illinois State Police Precursor | ||||||
11 | Tracking Program shall be 2 years. The Illinois State Police | ||||||
12 | shall prior to the end of this 2-year period report to the | ||||||
13 | Governor and General Assembly on the implementation and | ||||||

15 | continuation, modification, or termination of the Program. | ||||||
16 | (i) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
17 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
18 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
19 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
20 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
21 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
22 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
23 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
24 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
25 | and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the | ||||||
26 | General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
2 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
3 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
4 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
5 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
6 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this Section, "rules" is | ||||||
7 | given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois | ||||||
8 | Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" | ||||||
9 | are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of | ||||||

14 | Sec. 39.7. Illinois State Police Precursor Tracking | ||||||
15 | Program; secure website. | ||||||
16 | (a) Transmission of electronic transaction records through | ||||||
17 | a secure website; in general. | ||||||
18 | (1) The Illinois State Police shall establish a
secure | ||||||
19 | website for the transmission of electronic transaction | ||||||
20 | records and electronic signatures and make it available | ||||||
21 | free of charge to any covered pharmacy that elects to use | ||||||
22 | it. | ||||||
23 | (2) The secure website shall enable any covered
| ||||||
24 | pharmacy to transmit to the Central Repository an | ||||||
25 | electronic transaction record and an electronic signature |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | each time the pharmacy distributes a targeted | ||||||
2 | methamphetamine precursor to a recipient under Section 25 | ||||||
3 | of this Act. | ||||||
4 | (3) If the secure website becomes unavailable to a
| ||||||
5 | covered pharmacy, the covered pharmacy may, during the | ||||||
6 | period in which the secure website is not available, | ||||||
7 | continue to distribute targeted methamphetamine precursor | ||||||
8 | without using the secure website if, during this period, | ||||||
9 | the covered pharmacy maintains and transmits handwritten | ||||||
10 | logs as described in subsection (b) of Section 39.9 of this | ||||||
11 | Act. | ||||||
12 | (b) Assistance to covered pharmacies using the secure | ||||||
13 | website. | ||||||
14 | (1) The purpose of this subsection is to ensure that
| ||||||
15 | participation in the Pilot Program does not impose | ||||||
16 | substantial costs on covered pharmacies that elect to | ||||||
17 | transmit electronic transaction records to the Central | ||||||
18 | Repository by means of the secure website. | ||||||
19 | (2) If a covered pharmacy that elects to transmit
| ||||||
20 | electronic transaction records by means of the secure | ||||||
21 | website does not have computer hardware or software or | ||||||
22 | related equipment sufficient to make use of the secure | ||||||
23 | website, then the covered pharmacy may obtain and install | ||||||
24 | such hardware or software or related equipment at its own | ||||||
25 | cost, or it may request assistance from the Illinois State | ||||||
26 | Police, or some combination of the two. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) If a covered pharmacy requests such assistance,
| ||||||
2 | then the Illinois State Police shall, free of charge, | ||||||
3 | provide and install any computer hardware or software or | ||||||
4 | related equipment needed. | ||||||
5 | (4) Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
| ||||||
6 | Illinois State Police from providing additional or other | ||||||
7 | assistance to any pharmacy or retail distributor. | ||||||
8 | (c) Any covered pharmacy that elects to transmit electronic | ||||||
9 | transaction records by means of the secure website described in | ||||||
10 | this Section may use the secure website as its exclusive means | ||||||
11 | of complying with subsections (d) and (f) of Section 25 of this | ||||||
12 | Act, provided that, along with each electronic transaction | ||||||
13 | record, the pharmacy also transmits an electronically-captured | ||||||
14 | signature of the recipient of the targeted methamphetamine | ||||||
15 | precursor. To facilitate this option, the Pilot Program shall | ||||||
16 | do the following: | ||||||
17 | (1) The Illinois State Police shall provide to any
| ||||||
18 | covered pharmacy that requests it an electronic signature | ||||||
19 | pad or other means of electronic signature capture. | ||||||
20 | (2) The Illinois State Police shall provide the
covered | ||||||
21 | pharmacy with an official letter indicating that: | ||||||
22 | (A) The covered pharmacy in question is
| ||||||
23 | participating in the Illinois State Police Precursor | ||||||
24 | Tracking Program for a specified period of time. | ||||||
25 | (B) During the specified period of time, the
| ||||||
26 | Illinois State Police has assumed responsibility for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | maintaining the logs described in subsection (f) of | ||||||
2 | Section 25 of this Act. | ||||||
3 | (C) Any law enforcement officer seeking to
inspect | ||||||
4 | or copy the covered pharmacy's logs should direct the | ||||||
5 | request to the Illinois State Police through means | ||||||
6 | described in the letter. | ||||||
7 | (d) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that | ||||||
8 | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head | ||||||
9 | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to | ||||||
10 | make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions | ||||||
11 | of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, | ||||||
12 | however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||
13 | implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
14 | the 95th General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to | ||||||
15 | the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House | ||||||
16 | and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the | ||||||
17 | General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | ||||||
18 | suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | ||||||
19 | in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | ||||||
20 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | ||||||
21 | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | ||||||
22 | Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | ||||||
23 | explicitly given. For the purposes of this Section, "rules" is | ||||||
24 | given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois | ||||||
25 | Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" | ||||||
26 | are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of |
| |||||||

8 | (1) Any covered pharmacy may elect not to use the
| ||||||
9 | secure website but instead to transmit electronic | ||||||
10 | transaction records by means of weekly electronic | ||||||
11 | transfers as described in this Section. | ||||||
12 | (2) Any covered pharmacy electing to transmit
