        Amends the Workers' Compensation  Act.   Makes  numerous  changes      
   concerning  payments  by employers into the Second Injury Fund and the      
   Rate  Adjustment Fund based on compensation payments made by employers      
   under the Workers'  Compensation  Act  or  the  Workers'  Occupational      
   Diseases      Act.    Contains  provisions  concerning  allocation  of

        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Deletes language  providing  that  premium  surcharges  shall  be      
   excluded from the definition of "premium"  for purposes of computation      
   of agents' commissions.                                                     
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          820 ILCS 305/8                                                       
        Removes portions of the new language regarding the changes in the      
   assessment amounts, but leaves intact the new language  regarding  the      
   manner of collecting the assessments (and adds language providing that      
   the new language regarding the manner of collecting the assessments         
   applies to the extent that the employer insures its workers'                
   compensation liability under the Workers' Compensation Act). Removes        
   the new language regarding the Industrial Commission's examination of       
   the Second Injury Fund.                                                     
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Industrial Commission)                         
          SB 717 will have no fiscal impact as it relates to the Workers'      
          Compensation Act. The Commission is unable to determine if           
          there will be a fiscal impact insofar as the bill relates to         
          other statutes.                                                      
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

          820 ILCS 305/7                                                       
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          820 ILCS 305/28                 from Ch. 48, par. 138.28             
        Deletes everything.  Amends the Workers' Compensation Act.  Makes      
   a technical change in a Section relating to  the  application  of  the      
   Act.
