| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Disaster Relief Act is amended by changing | ||||
Section 3 as follows:
| ||||
(15 ILCS 30/3) (from Ch. 127, par. 293.3)
| ||||
Sec. 3. Disaster Response and Recovery Fund. | ||||
(a) Whenever funds regularly appropriated to the State and | ||||
local
governmental bodies for disaster response and recovery | ||||
are insufficient to
provide services, and when the Governor has | ||||
declared a disaster by
proclamation in accordance with Section | ||||
7 of the Illinois Emergency Management
Agency Act or any | ||||
successor Act, the Governor
may draw
upon the Disaster Response | ||||
and Recovery Fund in order to provide services or to
reimburse | ||||
local governmental bodies furnishing services. The fund
may be | ||||
used for the payment of emergency employees, for the payment of
| ||||
the Illinois National Guard when called to active duty,
for | ||||
disaster-related expenses of State Agencies and
Departments, | ||||
and for the emergency purchase or renting of
equipment and | ||||
commodities. The fund shall be used for furnishing
emergency | ||||
services and relief to the disaster area as a whole and shall
| ||||
not be used to provide private relief to persons sustaining | ||||
property
damages or personal injury as a result of a disaster.
| ||||
(b) As soon as practical after the effective date of this | ||
amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, the State | ||
Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer | ||
$5,900,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Disaster | ||
Response and Recovery Fund to meet the State's cost sharing | ||
obligations with the Federal Emergency Management Agency under | ||
the federal Assistance to Individuals and Households Program | ||
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 5174. | ||
