30 ILCS 707/ Grant Information Collection Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

30 ILCS 707/5

(30 ILCS 707/5)

Sec. 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.

Sec. 10. Grant information collection.

The Secretary of Innovation and Technology 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 Secretary of Innovation and Technology 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.
