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