 Does not create a mandate on any local unit of government as defined by the State Mandates Act.

 Home Rule Note (H-AM 1) (Dept of Commerce and Economic Opportunity)
 In the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, House Bill 2515 (H-AM 1) contains language regarding the powers and duties of the Illinois Board of Higher Education Act and does not pertain to home rule units of local government.

 Balanced Budget Note (H-AM 1) (Office of Management and Budget)
 The Governor's Office of Management and Budget believes that the proposed legislation will adversely impact the state budget as funding is not included in the Governor's current balanced budget and no associated increase in state revenue or decrease in other appropriations has been proposed. The fiscal impact is estimated to be $350,000.00.
