| 1 | | (a) In response to the ongoing public health disaster | 2 | | caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel severe | 3 | | acute respiratory illness that spreads rapidly through | 4 | | respiratory transmissions, and the need to regulate the number | 5 | | of individuals entering a Secretary of State facility at any | 6 | | one time in order to prevent the spread of the disease, the | 7 | | Secretary of State is hereby given the authority to adopt | 8 | | emergency rulemakings, as provided under subsection (b), and | 9 | | to adopt permanent administrative rules extending until no | 10 | | later than June 30, 2021, the expiration dates of driver's | 11 | | licenses, driving permits, monitoring device driving permits, | 12 | | restricted driving permits, identification cards, disabled | 13 | | parking placards and decals, and vehicle registrations that | 14 | | were issued with expiration dates on or after January 1, 2020. | 15 | | If, as of May 1, 2021, there remains in effect a proclamation | 16 | | issued by the Governor of the State of Illinois declaring a | 17 | | statewide disaster in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, | 18 | | the Secretary may further extend such expiration dates until | 19 | | no later than December 31, 2021. Upon the Governor of the State | 20 | | of Illinois issuing a statewide disaster proclamation based on | 21 | | a health pandemic or similar emergency, the Secretary may | 22 | | extend for the duration of the proclaimed disaster and for up | 23 | | to a period of 120 days beyond the expiration of the disaster | 24 | | proclamation: | 25 | | (1) the expiration dates of driver's licenses, driving | 26 | | permits, identification cards, disabled parking placards |

The | 11 | | Secretary must adopt any subsequent 30-day extension prior to | 12 | | the previous lapsing. | 13 | | (a-5) During the period of any extensions implemented | 14 | | pursuant to this Section, all driver's licenses, driving | 15 | | permits, monitoring device driving permits, restricted driving | 16 | | permits, identification cards, disabled parking placards and | 17 | | decals, and vehicle registrations shall be subject to any | 18 | | terms and conditions under which the original document was | 19 | | issued. | 20 | | (b) To provide for the expeditious and timely | 21 | | implementation of this amendatory Act of the 101st General | 22 | | Assembly, any emergency rules to implement the extension | 23 | | provisions of this Section must be adopted by the Secretary of | 24 | | State, subject to the provisions of Section 5-45 of the | 25 | | Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.

| 12 | | (Source: P.A. 101-640, eff. 6-12-20.) | 13 | | Section 15. The Illinois Library System Act is amended by | 14 | | changing Sections 8.1 and 8.4 as follows:
| 15 | | (75 ILCS 10/8.1) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.1)
| 16 | | Sec. 8.1.
The State Librarian shall make grants annually
| 17 | | under this Section to all qualified public libraries in the
| 18 | | State from funds appropriated by the General Assembly. Such
| 19 | | grants shall be in the amount of up to $1.475 $1.25 per capita | 20 | | for the
population of the area served by the respective public
| 21 | | library and, in addition, the amount of up to $0.19 per capita | 22 | | to libraries
serving populations over 500,000 under the | 23 | | Illinois Major Urban Library
Program. If the moneys | 24 | | appropriated for grants under this
Section fail to meet the |
| | | SB2232 Enrolled | - 6 - | LRB102 16412 AWJ 21802 b |
|
| 1 | | $1.475 $1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the | 2 | | funding shall be decreased pro rata so that qualifying public | 3 | | libraries receive the same amount per capita. If the moneys | 4 | | appropriated for grants under this Section exceed the $1.475 | 5 | | $1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the funding | 6 | | shall be increased pro rata so that qualifying public | 7 | | libraries receive the same amount per capita.
| 8 | | To be eligible for grants under this Section, a public | 9 | | library must:
| 10 | | (1) Provide, as determined by the State Librarian, | 11 | | library services
which either meet or show progress toward | 12 | | meeting the Illinois library
standards, as most recently | 13 | | adopted by the Illinois Library Association.
| 14 | | (2) Be a public library for which is levied a tax for
| 15 | | library purposes at a rate not less than .13% or a county | 16 | | library for which
is levied a tax for library purposes at a | 17 | | rate not less than .07%.
If a library is subject to the | 18 | | Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the
Property Tax | 19 | | Code and its tax levy for library purposes has been | 20 | | lowered to a
rate of less than .13%, this requirement will | 21 | | be waived if the library
qualified
for this grant in the | 22 | | previous year and if the tax levied for library purposes
| 23 | | in the current year produces tax revenue for library | 24 | | purposes that is an
increase over the previous year's | 25 | | extension of 5% or the percentage increase in
the Consumer | 26 | | Price Index, whichever is less. Beginning in State Fiscal |

|
| 1 | | Year 2012, the eligibility requirement in this subsection | 2 | | shall be waived if a library's tax levy for library | 3 | | purposes has been lowered to a rate of less than 0.13%, and | 4 | | the State Librarian determines that the library (i) | 5 | | continues to meet the requirements of item (1) of this | 6 | | Section and (ii) received a grant under this Section in | 7 | | the previous fiscal year.
| 8 | | Any other language in this Section to the contrary
| 9 | | notwithstanding, grants under this Section 8.1 shall be made
| 10 | | only upon application of the public library concerned, which
| 11 | | applications shall be entirely voluntary and within the sole
| 12 | | discretion of the public library concerned.
| 13 | | In order to be eligible for a grant under this Section, the | 14 | | corporate
authorities, in lieu of a tax levy at a particular | 15 | | rate, may provide
funds from other sources, an amount | 16 | | equivalent to the amount to be produced
by that levy.

| 18 | | (75 ILCS 10/8.4) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.4)
| 19 | | Sec. 8.4. School library grants. Beginning July 1, 1989, | 20 | | the State
Librarian shall make grants
annually under this | 21 | | Section to all school districts in the State for the
| 22 | | establishment and operation of qualified school libraries, or | 23 | | the additional
support of existing qualified school libraries, | 24 | | from funds appropriated
by the General Assembly. Such grants | 25 | | shall be in the amount of $0.885 $0.75 per
student as |
| | | SB2232 Enrolled | - 8 - | LRB102 16412 AWJ 21802 b |
|
| 1 | | determined by the official enrollment as of the previous
| 2 | | September 30 of the respective school having a qualified | 3 | | school library. If
the
moneys appropriated for grants under | 4 | | this Section are not sufficient,
the State Librarian shall | 5 | | reduce the amount of the grants as necessary; in
making these | 6 | | reductions, the State Librarian shall endeavor to provide each
| 7 | | school district that has a qualifying school library (i)
at | 8 | | least the same amount per student as the district
received | 9 | | under this Section in the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) a | 10 | | total
grant of at least $850 $750 , which, in the event of an | 11 | | insufficient appropriation, shall not be reduced to a total | 12 | | grant of less than $100.
| 13 | | To qualify for grants under this Section, a school library | 14 | | must:
| 15 | | (1) Be an entity which serves the basic information | 16 | | and library needs
of the school's employees and students | 17 | | through a bibliographically
organized collection of | 18 | | library materials, has at least one employee whose
primary | 19 | | duty is to serve as a librarian, and has a collection | 20 | | permanently
supported financially, accessible centrally, | 21 | | and occupying identifiable

|
| 1 | | system under this Act.
| 2 | | (4) Provide, as mutually determined by the Illinois | 3 | | State Librarian and
the Illinois State Board of Education, | 4 | | library services which either meet
or show progress toward | 5 | | meeting the Illinois school library standards as
most | 6 | | recently adopted by the Illinois School Library Media | 7 | | Association.
| 8 | | (5) Submit a statement certifying that the financial | 9 | | support for
the school library or libraries
of the | 10 | | applying school district has been maintained undiminished, | 11 | | or if
diminished, the percentage of diminution of | 12 | | financial support is no more
than the percentage of | 13 | | diminution of the applying school's total financial
| 14 | | support for educational and operations purposes since the | 15 | | submission of the
last previous application of the school | 16 | | district for the school library per
student grant that was | 17 | | funded.
| 18 | | Grants under this Section shall be made only upon | 19 | | application of the
school district for its qualified school | 20 | | library or school libraries.
