    AN ACT concerning burn victims.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Burn
Victims Relief Act, which may be referred to as the George
Bailey Memorial Law.
 
    Section 5. The George Bailey Memorial Program.
    (a) The George Bailey Memorial Program is created under the
Department of Insurance, under which any burn victim who,
through no fault of his or her own, has become disabled and has
been told by 2 independent physicians that his or her prognosis
is that he or she has less than 18 months left to live shall
immediately receive the 5 months' pay that he or she would have
received for Social Security had there not been a mandatory
5-month waiting period. The person shall receive the same
amount that he or she would receive under the Social Security
disability insurance program, minus $25. This amount shall be
paid in equal payments for 5 months, ending after the end of
the 5-month period or upon the applicant's death.
    As used in this Section, "through no fault of his or her
own" means that the individual is not the proximate cause of
his or her injury, through either gross negligence or by use of
a substance that is well known to possibly cause grave bodily
injury by a short amount of use or exposure.
    (b) Any moneys that a person or his or her estate, trust,
or heirs receive from a settlement for the injury that is the
proximate cause of the person's disability under this Act or
moneys received from Social Security disability benefits shall
be used to repay the George Bailey Memorial Fund, except as
provided under subsection (g) of this Section. The moneys shall
be paid directly to the Department of Insurance for deposit in
the Fund after the Department deducts a 20% administrative fee.
    (c) Any person meeting the requirements of subsection (a)
and whose application is approved shall be eligible to
participate in the Program.
    (d) Any active member of the United States Armed Forces
shall be eligible if he or she was a resident of Illinois for
at least 12 months before enlisting and he or she planned to
return to Illinois.
    (e) Any legal resident of Illinois who, at the time of the
injury, was a resident of Illinois who would qualify under
subsection (a) shall not be disqualified for residency
requirements, provided that he or she was a legal resident at
the time of the injury.
    (f) Any legal resident of Illinois is eligible for
participation in the Program and shall not be disqualified if
the injury occurs outside of the State.
    (g) The State shall have lien rights against all
settlements or moneys otherwise collected due to the injury
under this Act, but if the amount collected is less than the
amount owed to the State through the Program, the State may not
attach anything beyond the moneys given under the Program.
 
    Section 10. Payments to the George Bailey Memorial Fund.
The George Bailey Memorial Fund is created as a special fund in
the State treasury. The George Bailey Memorial Fund shall be
funded pursuant to subsection (p) of Section 27.6 of the Clerks
of Courts Act and Section 16-104d of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
Funds received under Section 16-104d of the Illinois Vehicle
Code shall be repaid in full to the Fire Truck Revolving Loan
Fund, without the deduction of the 20% administrative fee
authorized in subsection (b) of Section 5, upon receipt by the
George Bailey Memorial Fund from the person or his or her
estate, trust, or heirs of any moneys from a settlement for the
injury that is the proximate cause of the person's disability
under this Act or moneys received from Social Security
disability benefits. Moneys in the George Bailey Memorial Fund
may only be used for the purposes set forth in this Act.
 
    Section 15. Rulemaking. The Department of Insurance may
adopt rules to implement the provisions of this Act. In order
to provide for the expeditious and timely implementation of the
provisions of this Act, emergency rules to implement any
provision of this Act may be adopted by the Department in
accordance with subsection (t) of Section 5-45 of the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act.
 
    Section 50. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is
amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:
 
    (5 ILCS 100/5-45)  (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45)
    Sec. 5-45. Emergency rulemaking.
    (a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that
any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public
interest, safety, or welfare.
    (b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that
requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required by
Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior
notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking
with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70. The notice
shall include the text of the emergency rule and shall be
published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders or other
court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency may
be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable
constitutional or statutory provisions, an emergency rule
becomes effective immediately upon filing under Section 5-65 or
at a stated date less than 10 days thereafter. The agency's
finding and a statement of the specific reasons for the finding
shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take reasonable
and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the
persons who may be affected by them.
    (c) An emergency rule may be effective for a period of not
longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an
identical rule under Section 5-40 is not precluded. No
emergency rule may be adopted more than once in any 24 month
period, except that this limitation on the number of emergency
rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does not apply

Public Aid Code or the generic drug formulary under Section

emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (o) of this
Section, or (vi) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection
(c-5) of this Section. Two or more emergency rules having
substantially the same purpose and effect shall be deemed to be
a single rule for purposes of this Section.
    (c-5) To facilitate the maintenance of the program of group
health benefits provided to annuitants, survivors, and retired
employees under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of
1971, rules to alter the contributions to be paid by the State,
annuitants, survivors, retired employees, or any combination
