| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | 5 |
| Employment Impact Note Act. | 6 |
| Section 5. Applicability. | 7 |
| (a) Every bill, except those making a direct appropriation, | 8 |
| the purpose or
effect of which is to directly increase or | 9 |
| decrease employment opportunities in Illinois, shall have | 10 |
| prepared for
it, before second reading in the house of | 11 |
| introduction, a brief explanatory
statement or note that shall | 12 |
| include a reliable estimate of the anticipated
impact.
| 13 |
| (b) Every proposed rule of an agency, the purpose or effect | 14 |
| of which is to
directly increase or decrease employment | 15 |
| opportunities in Illinois, shall have prepared for it, before | 16 |
| approval
by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules | 17 |
| pursuant to the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, a brief | 18 |
| explanatory statement or note that shall
include a reliable | 19 |
| estimate of the anticipated impact. As used in this Act,
"rule" | 20 |
| and "agency" have the same meanings as in the Illinois | 21 |
| Administrative
Procedure Act.
| 22 |
| (c) These statements or notes shall be known as employment
| 23 |
| impact notes. | 24 |
| Section 10. Preparation. The sponsor of each bill, or the | 25 |
| agency proposing a
rule, to which Section 5 applies, shall | 26 |
| present a copy of the bill or proposed
rule, with the request | 27 |
| for an employment impact note, to the Commission on Government | 28 |
| Forecasting and Accountability (the "Commission"). The | 29 |
| employment impact note shall be
prepared by the Commission and | 30 |
| submitted to the
sponsor of the bill or the agency within 5 | 31 |
| calendar days, except that whenever,
because of the complexity |

| of the measure, additional time is required for the
preparation | 2 |
| of the note, the Commission may inform the sponsor of the bill | 3 |
| or the agency, and the
sponsor or agency may approve an | 4 |
| extension of the time within which the note is
to be submitted, | 5 |
| not to extend, however, beyond June 15, following the date of
| 6 |
| the request. If, in the opinion of the Commission, there is | 7 |
| insufficient information to prepare a
reliable estimate of the | 8 |
| anticipated impact, a statement to that effect can
be filed and | 9 |
| shall meet the requirements of this Act. | 10 |
| Section 15. Vote on necessity of employment impact
notes. | 11 |
| Whenever the sponsor of any bill is of the opinion that
no | 12 |
| employment impact note is required, any member
of either house | 13 |
| may request that a note be obtained, and in
that case the | 14 |
| applicability of this Act shall be decided by
the majority of | 15 |
| those present and voting in the house of which
the sponsor is a | 16 |
| member. | 17 |
| Section 20. Requisites and contents. The note shall be | 18 |
| factual in
nature, as brief and concise as may be, and shall | 19 |
| provide a reliable
estimate of the employment opportunities | 20 |
| that will be created or lost, and, in addition, it shall | 21 |
| include both the immediate
effect and, if determinable or | 22 |
| reasonably foreseeable, the long range
effect of the measure. | 23 |
| If, after careful investigation, it is determined that no
| 24 |
| estimate is possible, the note shall contain a statement to | 25 |
| that
effect, setting forth the reasons why no estimate can be | 26 |
| given. A
brief summary or work sheet of computations used in | 27 |
| arriving at employment impact note figures shall be included. | 28 |
| Section 25. Comment or opinion; technical or mechanical | 29 |
| defects. No comment or opinion shall be included in the | 30 |
| employment impact note with regard to the merits of the measure | 31 |
| for
which the note is prepared; however, technical
or | 32 |
| mechanical defects may be noted. |

| Section 30. Appearance of State officials and employees in | 2 |
| support or
opposition of measure. The fact that an employment | 3 |
| impact note
is prepared for any bill or proposed rule shall not | 4 |
| preclude or restrict
the appearance before any committee of the | 5 |
| General Assembly, or before the
Joint Committee on | 6 |
| Administrative Rules, of any official or authorized employee
of | 7 |
| the Commission who desires to be heard in
support of or in | 8 |
| opposition to the measure. | 9 |
| Section 35. Amendment of bill necessitating statement of | 10 |
| effect of
proposed amendment. Whenever any committee of either | 11 |
| house reports any
bill with an amendment that will | 12 |
| substantially affect the figures stated in
the employment | 13 |
| impact note attached to the measure at the time
of its referral | 14 |
| to the committee, there shall be included with the report
of | 15 |
| the committee a statement of the effect of the change proposed | 16 |
| by the
amendment reported if desired by a majority of the | 17 |
| committee. Whenever any
bill is amended on the floor of either | 18 |
| house to substantially affect the
figures as stated in the | 19 |
| employment impact note attached to the
bill before the | 20 |
| amendment, a majority of the members of that house may propose
| 21 |
| that no action shall be taken on the amendment until the | 22 |
| sponsor of the
amendment presents to the members a statement of | 23 |
| the employment
impact of the proposed amendment.
