determine by the | ||||||
10 | resolution authorizing their issue. The notes shall be
| ||||||
11 | issued from time to time by the Authority as funds are | ||||||
12 | borrowed, in the
manner the Authority may determine. | ||||||
13 | Interest on the notes may be made
payable semiannually, | ||||||
14 | annually or at maturity. The notes may be made

22 | Authority as
the Authority may by resolution direct, and be | ||||||
23 | sealed with the

24 | and the interest thereon may
be secured by a pledge of any | ||||||
25 | income and revenue derived by the
Authority from the | ||||||
26 | project to be undertaken with the proceeds of the
notes and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be payable solely from such income and revenue and | ||||||
2 | from
the proceeds to be derived from the sale of any | ||||||
3 | revenue bonds for
permanent financing authorized to be | ||||||
4 | issued under Sections 5 and 6 of
this Act, and from the | ||||||
5 | property acquired with the proceeds of the notes.

7 | provided by this
Act, all interim notes, even though they | ||||||
8 | may not then have matured,
shall be paid, both principal | ||||||
9 | and interest to date of payment, from the
funds derived | ||||||
10 | from the sale of revenue bonds for the permanent financing
| ||||||
11 | and such interim notes shall be surrendered and canceled.
| ||||||
12 | 2. The Authority, in order further to secure the | ||||||
13 | payment of the
interim notes, is, in addition to the | ||||||
14 | foregoing, authorized and
empowered to make any other or | ||||||
15 | additional covenants, terms and
conditions not | ||||||
16 | inconsistent with the provisions of subparagraph (a) of

18 | necessary or
convenient or desirable in order to secure | ||||||

notes more | ||||||
21 | acceptable to lenders, notwithstanding that the covenants,
| ||||||
22 | acts or things may not be enumerated herein; however, | ||||||
23 | nothing contained
in this subparagraph shall authorize the | ||||||
24 | Authority to secure the payment
of the interim notes out of | ||||||
25 | property or facilities, other than the
facilities acquired | ||||||
26 | with the proceeds of the interim notes, and any net
income |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and revenue derived from the facilities and the proceeds of
| ||||||
2 | revenue bonds as hereinabove provided.
| ||||||
3 | (e) Convey property, without charge, to the State or to the
| ||||||

granted by this Act.
| ||||||
17 | (i) Have and use a common seal and alter the same at | ||||||

21 | Constitution
and statutes of the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
22 | No member, officer, agent or employee of the Authority, nor | ||||||
23 | any other
person who executes interim notes, shall be liable | ||||||
24 | personally by reason
of the issuance thereof.
| ||||||
25 | With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued | ||||||
26 | under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been | ||||||
2 | the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond | ||||||
3 | Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to | ||||||
4 | issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, | ||||||
5 | regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be | ||||||
6 | or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
| ||||||
7 | provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the | ||||||
8 | supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and | ||||||
9 | (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the | ||||||
10 | supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are | ||||||
11 | not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may | ||||||
12 | appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.

16 | (a) Transfers among line item appropriations from the same
| ||||||
17 | treasury fund for the objects specified in this Section may be | ||||||
18 | made in
the manner provided in this Section when the balance | ||||||
19 | remaining in one or
more such line item appropriations is | ||||||
20 | insufficient for the purpose for
which the appropriation was | ||||||
21 | made. | ||||||
22 | (a-1) No transfers may be made from one
agency to another | ||||||
23 | agency, nor may transfers be made from one institution
of | ||||||
24 | higher education to another institution of higher education | ||||||
25 | except as provided by subsection (a-4).
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a-2) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, | ||||||
2 | transfers may be made only among the objects of expenditure | ||||||
3 | enumerated
in this Section, except that no funds may be | ||||||
4 | transferred from any
appropriation for personal services, from | ||||||
5 | any appropriation for State
contributions to the State | ||||||
6 | Employees' Retirement System, from any
separate appropriation | ||||||
7 | for employee retirement contributions paid by the
employer, nor | ||||||
8 | from any appropriation for State contribution for
employee | ||||||
9 | group insurance. During State fiscal year 2005, an agency may | ||||||
10 | transfer amounts among its appropriations within the same | ||||||
11 | treasury fund for personal services, employee retirement | ||||||
12 | contributions paid by employer, and State Contributions to | ||||||
13 | retirement systems; notwithstanding and in addition to the | ||||||

15 | fiscal year 2005 transfers authorized in this sentence may be | ||||||
16 | made in an amount not to exceed 2% of the aggregate amount | ||||||
17 | appropriated to an agency within the same treasury fund. During | ||||||

20 | may transfer amounts among their respective appropriations | ||||||
21 | within the same treasury fund for personal services, employee | ||||||
22 | retirement contributions paid by employer, and State | ||||||
23 | contributions to retirement systems. During State fiscal year | ||||||
24 | 2010, the Department of Transportation may transfer amounts | ||||||
25 | among their respective appropriations within the same treasury | ||||||
26 | fund for personal services, employee retirement contributions |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paid by employer, and State contributions to retirement | ||||||
2 | systems. During State fiscal year 2010 only, an agency may | ||||||
3 | transfer amounts among its respective appropriations within | ||||||
4 | the same treasury fund for personal services, employee | ||||||
5 | retirement contributions paid by employer, and State | ||||||
6 | contributions to retirement systems. Notwithstanding, and in | ||||||
7 | addition to, the transfers authorized in subsection (c) of this | ||||||
8 | Section, these transfers may be made in an amount not to exceed | ||||||
9 | 2% of the aggregate amount appropriated to an agency within the | ||||||
10 | same treasury fund.
| ||||||
11 | (a-3) Further, if an agency receives a separate
| ||||||
12 | appropriation for employee retirement contributions paid by | ||||||
13 | the employer,
any transfer by that agency into an appropriation | ||||||
14 | for personal services
must be accompanied by a corresponding | ||||||
15 | transfer into the appropriation for
employee retirement | ||||||
16 | contributions paid by the employer, in an amount
sufficient to | ||||||
17 | meet the employer share of the employee contributions
required | ||||||
18 | to be remitted to the retirement system. | ||||||
19 | (a-4) Long-Term Care Rebalancing. The Governor may | ||||||
20 | designate amounts set aside for institutional services | ||||||
21 | appropriated from the General Revenue Fund or any other State | ||||||
22 | fund that receives monies for long-term care services to be | ||||||
23 | transferred to all State agencies responsible for the | ||||||
24 | administration of community-based long-term care programs, | ||||||
25 | including, but not limited to, community-based long-term care | ||||||
26 | programs administered by the Department of Healthcare and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Family Services, the Department of Human Services, and the | ||||||
2 | Department on Aging, provided that the Director of Healthcare | ||||||
3 | and Family Services first certifies that the amounts being | ||||||
4 | transferred are necessary for the purpose of assisting persons | ||||||
5 | in or at risk of being in institutional care to transition to | ||||||
6 | community-based settings, including the financial data needed | ||||||
7 | to prove the need for the transfer of funds. The total amounts | ||||||
8 | transferred shall not exceed 4% in total of the amounts | ||||||
9 | appropriated from the General Revenue Fund or any other State | ||||||
10 | fund that receives monies for long-term care services for each | ||||||
11 | fiscal year. A notice of the fund transfer must be made to the | ||||||
12 | General Assembly and posted at a minimum on the Department of | ||||||
13 | Healthcare and Family Services website, the Governor's Office | ||||||
14 | of Management and Budget website, and any other website the | ||||||
15 | Governor sees fit. These postings shall serve as notice to the | ||||||
16 | General Assembly of the amounts to be transferred. Notice shall | ||||||
17 | be given at least 30 days prior to transfer. | ||||||

25 | For purposes of this Section, "State correctional | ||||||
26 | institution" means
any facility of the Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Corrections including adult facilities,
juvenile facilities, | ||||||
2 | pre-release centers, community correction centers, and

| ||||||
4 | For purposes of this Section, "State university" means the | ||||||
5 | University
of Illinois, Southern Illinois University at | ||||||
6 | Carbondale, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville ,
| ||||||
7 | Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois University, | ||||||

15 | the

| ||||||
18 | (h) A number of assistant state's attorneys shall be | ||||||
19 | appointed in each
county that chooses to participate, as | ||||||
20 | provided in this subsection,
for the prosecution of | ||||||
21 | alcohol-related traffic offenses. Each county shall
receive | ||||||
22 | monthly a subsidy for payment of the salaries and
benefits of | ||||||
23 | these
assistant state's attorneys from State funds | ||||||
24 | appropriated to the Department of Revenue out of the Personal | ||||||
25 | Property Tax Replacement Fund or the General Revenue Fund for
| ||||||
26 | that purpose. The amounts of subsidies provided by this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection shall be
adjusted for inflation each July 1 using | ||||||
2 | the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of | ||||||
3 | the U.S. Department of Labor.
| ||||||
4 | When a county chooses to participate in the subsidy program | ||||||
5 | described in this
subsection (h), the number of assistant | ||||||
6 | state's attorneys who are prosecuting
alcohol-related traffic | ||||||
7 | offenses must increase according to the subsidy
provided in | ||||||
8 | this subsection. These appointed assistant state's attorneys | ||||||
9 | shall
be in addition to any other assistant state's attorneys | ||||||
10 | assigned to those cases
on the effective date of this | ||||||
11 | amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, and
may not | ||||||
12 | replace those assistant state's attorneys. In counties where | ||||||
13 | the
state's attorney is the sole prosecutor, this subsidy shall | ||||||
14 | be used to provide
an assistant state's attorney to prosecute | ||||||
15 | alcohol-related traffic offenses
along with the state's | ||||||
16 | attorney. In counties where the state's attorney is the
sole | ||||||
17 | prosecutor, and in counties where a judge presides over cases | ||||||
18 | involving a
variety of misdemeanors, including alcohol-related | ||||||
19 | traffic matters, assistant
state's attorneys appointed and | ||||||
20 | subsidized by this subsection (h) may also
prosecute the | ||||||
21 | different misdemeanor cases at the direction of the state's
| ||||||
22 | attorney.
| ||||||
23 | Assistant state's attorneys shall be appointed under this | ||||||
24 | subsection in the
following number and counties shall receive | ||||||
25 | the following annual subsidies:
| ||||||
26 | (1) In counties with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants, one |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | at $35,000.
| ||||||
2 | (2) In counties with 30,000 or more but fewer than | ||||||
3 | 100,000
inhabitants, one at $45,000.
| ||||||
4 | (3) In counties with 100,000 or more but fewer than | ||||||
5 | 300,000 inhabitants,
2 at $45,000 each.
| ||||||
6 | (4) In counties, other than Cook County, with 300,000 | ||||||
7 | or more inhabitants,
4 at $50,000 each.
| ||||||
8 | The amounts appropriated under this Section must be | ||||||
9 | segregated by
population
classification and disbursed monthly.
| ||||||
10 | If in any year the amount appropriated for the purposes of | ||||||
11 | this subsection
(h) is insufficient to pay all of the subsidies | ||||||
12 | specified in this subsection,
the amount appropriated shall | ||||||
13 | first be prorated by the population
classifications of this | ||||||
14 | subsection (h) and then among the counties choosing
to
| ||||||
15 | participate
within each of those classifications. If any of the | ||||||
16 | appropriated moneys for
each population classification remain | ||||||
17 | at the end of a fiscal year,
the remainder of the moneys may be | ||||||
18 | allocated to participating counties that
were not fully funded | ||||||
19 | during the course of the year. Nothing in
this subsection | ||||||
20 | prohibits 2 or more State's attorneys from combining their
| ||||||
21 | subsidies to appoint a joint assistant State's attorney to
| ||||||
22 | prosecute alcohol-related traffic offenses in multiple | ||||||
23 | counties. Nothing in
this subsection prohibits a State's | ||||||
24 | attorney from appointing an
assistant State's attorney by | ||||||
25 | contract or otherwise.

the Governor as provided herein, and 10
9 ex-officio | ||||||
7 | members,
designated

10 | amendatory Act of 1987 shall be a certified municipal clerk
| ||||||
11 | recommended by the Executive Board of the Municipal Clerks of | ||||||

15 | Act of 1987 both shall be appointed to serve
until the third | ||||||
16 | Monday in January, 1992, or until their successors are

shall determine by agreement or by | ||||||
20 | lot one who shall continue to so serve

shall be filled by appointment by the Governor | ||||||
8 | from a recommendation or
recommendations made by the Executive | ||||||

10 | as original appointments. A member appointed
to fill a vacancy | ||||||
11 | shall serve for the remainder of the unexpired term or

12 | his or her successor is appointed and qualified. In the event | ||||||
13 | the

14 | by
the Executive Board of the Municipal Clerks of Illinois to | ||||||
15 | either a full
term or, in cases of a vacancy, to the remainder | ||||||
16 | of an unexpired term on
the Committee, such Executive Board | ||||||
17 | shall promptly recommend one or more
additional qualified | ||||||
18 | persons to the Governor for such appointment. The
terms of the | ||||||
19 | 3 committee members designated by the Board of Trustees of the

State Colleges and Universities, and the | ||||||
7 | several Regency Universities under
the jurisdiction of the | ||||||
8 | Board of Regents are hereby authorized to become
participants | ||||||
9 | in the Illinois Peace Corps Fellowship Program. Any such
| ||||||
10 | participating public institution of higher education may | ||||||
11 | conduct and
administer this program to augment the number of | ||||||
12 | Illinois public school
teachers by bringing the teaching skills | ||||||
13 | of recently returned United States
Peace Corps volunteers to | ||||||
14 | those school districts, including the school
districts | ||||||
15 | situated within the City of Chicago and the City of East St.
| ||||||
16 | Louis or any other school district designated by the State | ||||||
17 | Board of
Education, which enter into cooperative agreements | ||||||
18 | required for
implementation of the program. In designating such | ||||||
19 | school districts, the
State Board of Education may consider | ||||||
20 | districts that have a high proportion
of drop-out students, a | ||||||
21 | high percentage of minority students, a high
proportion of low | ||||||
22 | income families and high truancy rates. The program
shall | ||||||
23 | utilize former United States Peace Corps volunteers with two | ||||||
24 | years of
Peace Corps experience by placing them in the | ||||||
25 | designated cooperating school
districts as full time teachers | ||||||
26 | or teacher aides. In return for making a
two-year commitment to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | teaching and being placed in a full-time salaried
teacher aide | ||||||
2 | or certificated teaching position at a public school located
in | ||||||
3 | a designated cooperating school district, the former Peace | ||||||
4 | Corps
volunteer may be awarded a fellowship to the | ||||||
5 | participating public
institution of higher education to | ||||||
6 | complete (in the case of teacher aides
who are not yet | ||||||
7 | certificated) the courses required for issuance of a
teaching | ||||||
8 | certificate under Article 21 of The School Code, or to pursue a
| ||||||
9 | master's degree program in education. The fellowships may | ||||||
10 | consist of
tuition waivers applicable toward enrollment at the | ||||||
11 | participating public
institution of higher education to | ||||||
12 | complete required courses for teacher
certification and to | ||||||
13 | pursue a master's degree program in education; and the
award of | ||||||
14 | such tuition waivers may be supported by funds and grants made
| ||||||
15 | available to the participating university or universities | ||||||
16 | through private
or public sources. A participating university | ||||||
17 | may also consider an
authorization under which all fellowship | ||||||
18 | recipients are allowed to pay
in-state tuition rates while | ||||||
19 | enrolled for credit in a master's degree program.
| ||||||
20 | An annual salary for the fellowship recipient to teach in a | ||||||
21 | designated
school district for a period of two years may be | ||||||
22 | provided by the designated
cooperating school district at which | ||||||
23 | the fellowship recipient shall teach,
and may be set at an | ||||||
24 | amount equal to that paid to other teacher aides and
| ||||||
25 | certificated teachers in a comparable position.

3 | higher education. | ||||||
4 | (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of | ||||||
5 | increasing completion of college courses, certificates, | ||||||
6 | and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the | ||||||
7 | unique and broad mission of public community colleges | ||||||
8 | through consideration of additional factors including, but | ||||||
9 | not limited to, enrollment, progress through key academic | ||||||
10 | milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate institution, and | ||||||
11 | degree completion. | ||||||
12 | (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the | ||||||

each | ||||||
20 | year as provided in Section 3.1 of the General Assembly | ||||||
21 | Organization
Act.
| ||||||
22 | (b) The General Assembly finds and declares (i) that the | ||||||
23 | Board of Higher Education reports that in Fiscal Year 2011 | ||||||
24 | public institutions of higher education awarded tuition and fee | ||||||
25 | waivers totaling nearly $415 million; (ii) that 83.9% of these |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | waivers were discretionary in that they were awarded at the | ||||||
2 | discretion of each institution and valued at over $348 million; | ||||||
3 | (iii) that the remaining 16.1% of waivers were mandatory in | ||||||
4 | that institutions had to award the waivers by statute; and (iv) | ||||||
5 | that because of the significant cost of such waivers, it is | ||||||
6 | important to review, evaluate, and verify that these waivers | ||||||
7 | are in the public interest and impose a reasonable financial | ||||||
8 | impact upon higher education. | ||||||
9 | There is hereby created the Tuition and Fee Waiver Task | ||||||
10 | Force. The Task Force shall consist of the following members: | ||||||
11 | (1) 2 members appointed by the President of the Senate; | ||||||

18 | The President and Speaker shall designate one member each | ||||||
19 | to serve as co-chairpersons of the Task Force. Members must be | ||||||
20 | adults and residents of this State. The individual or his or | ||||||
21 | her successor who appointed a member may remove that appointed | ||||||
22 | member before the expiration of his or her term on the Task | ||||||
23 | Force for official misconduct, incompetence, or neglect of | ||||||
24 | duty. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be | ||||||
25 | reimbursed for expenses. Appointments must be made within 60 | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the 97th General Assembly. | ||||||
2 | (c) The purpose of the Tuition and Fee Waiver Task Force is | ||||||
3 | to conduct a thorough review and evaluation of the tuition and | ||||||
4 | fee waiver programs offered by the public institutions of | ||||||
5 | higher education listed in subsection (a) of this Section, as | ||||||
6 | well as the findings and recommendations made by the Board | ||||||
7 | concerning these programs pursuant to subsection (a) of this | ||||||
8 | Section. The Task Force shall also thoroughly review and | ||||||
9 | evaluate tuition and fee waiver programs offered by public | ||||||
10 | institutions of higher education not listed in subsection (a) | ||||||
11 | of this Section. | ||||||
12 | The Task Force shall review and evaluate each of the | ||||||
13 | tuition and fee waiver programs offered by public institutions | ||||||
14 | of higher education and determine the propriety of each such | ||||||
15 | program. As part of its review and evaluation, the Task Force | ||||||
16 | shall, among other things, consider the following: | ||||||
17 | (1) the institution's justification of the need for the | ||||||
18 | program; | ||||||
19 | (2) the program's intended purposes and goals; | ||||||
20 | (3) the program's eligibility and selection criteria; | ||||||
21 | (4) the program's costs; | ||||||
22 | (5) the purported benefits resulting from the program; | ||||||
23 | and | ||||||
24 | (6) whether the program serves the public interest or | ||||||
25 | advances a private interest. | ||||||
26 | (d) The Board shall provide administrative support to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Tuition and Fee Waiver Task Force. The Task Force shall conduct | ||||||
2 | meetings and public hearings before filing any report mandated | ||||||
3 | under this subsection (d). At the public hearings, the Task | ||||||
4 | Force shall allow interested persons to present their views and | ||||||
5 | comments. The Task Force shall submit a report setting forth | ||||||
6 | its review and evaluation of the tuition and fee waiver | ||||||
7 | programs offered by public institutions of higher education on | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | Sec. 2. The Board shall consist of 7 voting members | ||||||
4 | appointed by the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent | ||||||
5 | of the Senate, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, or his | ||||||
6 | chief assistant for liaison with higher education when
| ||||||
7 | designated to serve in his place, ex-officio, and one voting | ||||||
8 | student member
designated by the Governor from one campus of | ||||||
9 | the University and one nonvoting
student member who is a | ||||||
10 | student at

11 | the voting
student member . The Governor shall designate one of | ||||||
12 | the student members
serving on the Board to serve as the voting | ||||||
13 | student member. Each student
member shall be chosen by the | ||||||
14 | respective campuses of Southern Illinois
University at | ||||||
15 | Carbondale and Edwardsville. The method of choosing the
these
| ||||||
16 | student member
members shall be by campus-wide student | ||||||
17 | election , and any student
designated by the Governor to be a | ||||||
18 | voting student member shall be one of the
students chosen by | ||||||
19 | this method . The student member
members shall serve a term
| ||||||
20 | terms of one
year beginning on July 1 of each year, except that | ||||||
21 | the student member
members
initially selected shall serve a | ||||||
22 | term beginning on the date of such selection
and expiring on | ||||||
23 | the next succeeding June 30. To be eligible for selection as
a | ||||||
24 | student member and to be eligible to remain as a voting or | ||||||
25 | nonvoting student
member of the Board, the
a student member |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | must be a resident of this State, must
have and maintain a | ||||||
2 | grade point average that is equivalent to at least 2.5

4 of the members appointed by | ||||||
15 | the Governor shall be affiliated with the same
political party. | ||||||
16 | Each member appointed by the Governor must be a resident of
| ||||||
17 | this State. A failure to meet or maintain this residency | ||||||
18 | requirement
constitutes a resignation from and creates a | ||||||
19 | vacancy in the Board. Of the members first appointed by the | ||||||
20 | Governor, 4 shall be appointed for
terms to expire on the third | ||||||
21 | Monday in January, 2018 and 3 shall be
appointed for terms to | ||||||

the Senate is | ||||||
23 | not in session on July 1, 2014 or if a vacancy in an
appointive | ||||||
24 | membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not in
session, | ||||||
25 | the Governor shall make temporary appointments until the next
| ||||||
26 | meeting of the Senate when he or she shall nominate persons to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fill such
memberships for the remainder of their respective | ||||||
2 | terms. Upon the
expiration of the terms of members appointed by | ||||||
3 | the Governor, their respective
successors shall be appointed | ||||||
4 | for terms of 6 years from the third Monday in
January of each | ||||||
5 | odd-numbered year and until their respective successors are
| ||||||
6 | appointed for like terms. If the Senate is not in session | ||||||
7 | appointments shall
be made as in the case of vacancies.

20 | qualified
institutions of higher learning that will prepare | ||||||
21 | them to teach science or
mathematics at the secondary school | ||||||
22 | level.
| ||||||
23 | (b) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be issued | ||||||
24 | pursuant
to regulations promulgated by the Commission;
| ||||||
25 | provided that no rule or regulation promulgated by the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Board of
Education prior to the effective date of this | ||||||
2 | amendatory Act of 1993 pursuant
to the exercise of any right, | ||||||
3 | power, duty, responsibility or matter of pending
business | ||||||
4 | transferred from the State Board of Education to the Commission | ||||||
5 | under
this Section shall be affected thereby, and all such | ||||||
6 | rules and regulations
shall become the rules and regulations of | ||||||
7 | the Commission until modified or
changed by the Commission in | ||||||
8 | accordance with law. In awarding scholarships,
the Commission | ||||||
9 | shall give priority to those
teachers with the greatest amount | ||||||
10 | of seniority within school districts.
| ||||||
11 | (c) Each scholarship shall be utilized by its holder for | ||||||
12 | the payment
of tuition at any qualified institution of higher | ||||||
13 | learning. Such tuition
shall be available only for courses that | ||||||
14 | will enable the teacher to be
certified to teach science or | ||||||
15 | mathematics at the secondary school level.
The Commission, in | ||||||
16 | consultation with the State Teacher
Certification Board, shall | ||||||
17 | determine which courses are eligible for tuition
payments under | ||||||
18 | this Section.
| ||||||
19 | (d) The Commission shall make tuition payments directly to
| ||||||
20 | the qualified institution of higher learning which the teacher | ||||||
21 | attends for
the courses prescribed or may make payments to the | ||||||
22 | teacher. Any teacher
who receives payments and who fails to | ||||||
23 | enroll in the courses prescribed
shall refund the payments to | ||||||
24 | the Commission.
| ||||||
25 | (e) Following the completion of the program of study, the | ||||||
26 | teacher must
accept employment within 2 years in a secondary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | school in
Illinois within 60 miles of the teacher's residence | ||||||
2 | to teach science or
mathematics; provided, however, that the | ||||||
3 | teacher instead may elect to accept
employment within such 2 | ||||||
4 | year period to teach science or mathematics in a
secondary | ||||||
5 | school in Illinois which is more than 60 miles from the | ||||||
6 | teacher's
residence. Teachers who fail to comply with this | ||||||
7 | provision shall refund all of
the scholarship awarded to the | ||||||
8 | Commission, whether payments
were made directly to the | ||||||
9 | institutions of higher learning or to the teachers,
and this | ||||||
10 | condition shall be agreed to in writing by all scholarship | ||||||
11 | recipients
at the time the scholarship is awarded. No teacher | ||||||
12 | shall be required to
refund tuition payments if his or her | ||||||
13 | failure to obtain employment as a
mathematics or science | ||||||
14 | teacher in a secondary school is the result of financial
| ||||||
15 | conditions within school districts. The rules and regulations | ||||||
16 | promulgated as
provided in this Section shall include | ||||||
17 | provisions regarding the waiving and
deferral of such payments.
| ||||||
18 | (f) The Commission, with the cooperation of the State Board | ||||||
19 | of Education,
shall assist teachers who have participated
in | ||||||
20 | the scholarship program established by this Section in finding
| ||||||
21 | employment to teach science or mathematics at the secondary | ||||||
22 | level.
| ||||||
23 | (g) This Section is substantially the same as Section 30-4b | ||||||
24 | of the School
Code, which Section is repealed by this | ||||||
25 | amendatory Act of 1993, and shall be
construed as a | ||||||
26 | continuation of the science-mathematics teacher scholarship
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | program established by that prior law, and not as a new or | ||||||
2 | different
science-mathematics teacher scholarship program. The | ||||||
3 | State Board of Education
shall transfer to the Commission, as | ||||||
4 | the
successor to the State Board of Education for all purposes | ||||||
5 | of administering
and implementing the provisions of this | ||||||
6 | Section, all books, accounts, records,
papers, documents, | ||||||
7 | contracts, agreements, and pending business in any way
relating | ||||||
8 | to the science-mathematics teacher scholarship program | ||||||
9 | continued under
this Section; and all scholarships at any time | ||||||
10 | awarded under that program by,
and all applications for any | ||||||
11 | such scholarships at any time made to, the State
Board of | ||||||
12 | Education shall be unaffected by the transfer to the Commission | ||||||
13 | of all
responsibility for the administration and | ||||||
14 | implementation of the
science-mathematics teacher scholarship | ||||||
15 | program continued under this Section.
The State Board of | ||||||
16 | Education shall furnish to the Commission such other

18 | administering this
Section.

| ||||||
17 | (b) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be issued | ||||||

25 | rules and regulations
shall become the rules and regulations of |
| |||||||
| |||||||

shall allocate the | ||||||
3 | scholarships awarded between persons
initially preparing to | ||||||
4 | teach, persons holding valid teaching
certificates issued | ||||||
5 | under Articles 21 and 34 of the School Code, and persons
| ||||||
6 | holding a bachelor's degree from any accredited college or | ||||||
7 | university who
have been employed for a minimum of 10 years in | ||||||
8 | a field other than teaching.
| ||||||
9 | (c) Each scholarship shall be utilized by its holder for | ||||||
10 | the payment of
tuition and non-revenue bond fees at any | ||||||
11 | qualified institution of higher
learning. Such tuition and fees | ||||||
12 | shall be available only for courses that

13 | individual to be certified to teach in areas of identified
| ||||||
14 | staff shortages. The Commission shall determine which
courses | ||||||
15 | are eligible for tuition payments under this Section.
| ||||||
16 | (d) The Commission may make tuition payments directly to
| ||||||
17 | the qualified institution of higher learning which the | ||||||
18 | individual attends for
the courses prescribed or may make | ||||||
19 | payments to the teacher. Any teacher
who received payments and | ||||||
20 | who fails to enroll in the courses prescribed
shall refund the | ||||||
21 | payments to the Commission.
| ||||||
22 | (e) Following the completion of the program of study, | ||||||
23 | persons who held
valid teaching certificates and persons | ||||||
24 | holding a bachelor's degree from
any accredited college or | ||||||
25 | university who have been employed for a minimum
of 10 years in | ||||||
26 | a field other than teaching prior to
receiving a teacher |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shortage scholarship must accept employment within
2 years in a | ||||||
2 | school in Illinois within 60 miles of the person's
residence to | ||||||
3 | teach in an area of identified staff shortage for a period of
| ||||||
4 | at least 3 years; provided, however that any such person | ||||||
5 | instead may
elect to accept employment within such 2 year | ||||||
6 | period to teach in an area
of identified staff shortage for a | ||||||
7 | period of at least 3 years in a school
in Illinois which is | ||||||
8 | more than 60 miles from such person's residence.

12 | shortage for a period of at least

refund all of the | ||||||
14 | scholarships awarded to the Commission,
whether payments were | ||||||
15 | made directly to the institutions of higher learning
or to the | ||||||
16 | individuals, and this condition shall be agreed to in writing | ||||||
17 | by
all scholarship recipients at the time the scholarship is | ||||||
18 | awarded. No
individual shall be required to refund tuition | ||||||
19 | payments if his or her
failure to obtain employment as a | ||||||
20 | teacher in a school is the result of
financial conditions | ||||||
21 | within school districts. The
rules and regulations promulgated | ||||||
22 | as provided in this Section shall contain
provisions regarding | ||||||
23 | the waiving and deferral of such
payments.

24 | (f) The Commission, with the cooperation of the State Board | ||||||
25 | of Education,

13 | consumer education on
utility service and prices and on | ||||||
14 | benefits and methods of energy conservation.

17 | of this
paragraph, the name and address of the external | ||||||
18 | recipient of any such
