November of each year its budget proposals for the operation
and capital needs of the institutions under its governance or
supervision for the ensuing fiscal year. Each budget proposal
shall conform to the procedures developed by the Board in the
design of an information system for State universities and
colleges.
    In order to maintain a cohesive system of higher education,
the Board and its staff shall communicate on a regular basis
with all public university presidents. They shall meet at least
semiannually to achieve economies of scale where possible and
provide the most innovative and efficient programs and
services.
    The Board, in the analysis of formulating the annual budget

undergraduate tuition and fee waiver programs at the State
state universities and colleges. The Board shall also consider
the current and projected utilization of the total physical
plant of each campus of a university or college in approving

    The Board of Higher Education shall submit to the Governor,
to the General Assembly, and to the appropriate budget agencies
of the Governor and General Assembly its analysis and
recommendations on such budget proposals.
    The Board is directed to form a broad-based group of
individuals representing the Office of the Governor, the
General Assembly, public institutions of higher education,
State agencies, business and industry, statewide Statewide
organizations representing faculty and staff, and others as the
Board shall deem appropriate to devise a system for allocating
State resources to public institutions of higher education
based upon performance in achieving State goals related to
student success and certificate and degree completion.
    Beginning in Fiscal Year 2013, the Board of Higher
Education budget recommendations to the Governor and the
General Assembly shall include allocations to public
institutions of higher education based upon performance
metrics designed to promote and measure student success in
degree and certificate completion. Public university These
metrics must be adopted by the Board by rule, and public
community college metrics must be adopted by the Illinois
Community College Board by rule. These metrics must be
developed and promulgated in accordance with the following
principles:
        (1) The metrics must be developed in consultation with
    public institutions of higher education, as well as other
    State educational agencies and other higher education
    organizations, associations, interests, and stakeholders
    as deemed appropriate by the Board.
        (2) The metrics shall include provisions for
    recognizing the demands on and rewarding the performance of
    institutions in advancing the success of students who are
    academically or financially at risk, including
    first-generation students, low-income students, and
    students traditionally underrepresented in higher
    education, as specified in Section 9.16 of this Act.
        (3) The metrics shall recognize and account for the
    differentiated missions of institutions and sectors of
    higher education.
        (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of
    increasing completion of college courses, certificates,
    and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the
    unique and broad mission of public community colleges
    through consideration of additional factors including, but
    not limited to, enrollment, progress through key academic
    milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate institution, and
    degree completion.
        (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the
    quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs.
In devising performance metrics, the Board may be guided by the
report of the Higher Education Finance Study Commission.
    Each State university state supported institution within
the application of this Act must submit its plan for capital
improvements of non-instructional facilities to the Board for
approval before final commitments are made if the total cost of
the project as approved by the institution's board of control
is in excess of $2 million. Non-instructional uses shall
include but not be limited to dormitories, union buildings,
field houses, stadium, other recreational facilities and
parking lots. The Board shall determine whether or not any
project submitted for approval is consistent with the master
plan for higher education and with instructional buildings that
are provided for therein. If the project is found by a majority
of the Board not to be consistent, such capital improvement
shall not be constructed.

    (110 ILCS 805/3-2)  (from Ch. 122, par. 103-2)
    Sec. 3-2. Upon the receipt of such a petition, the State
Board shall, in cooperation with the regional superintendent of
the county or counties in which the territory of the proposed
district is located, cause a study to be made of the territory
of the proposed district and the community college needs and
condition thereof and the area within and adjacent thereto in
relation to existing facilities for general education,
including pre-professional curricula and for training in
occupational activities, and in relation to a factual survey of
the possible enrollment, assessed valuation, industrial
business, agricultural and other conditions reflecting
educational needs in the area to be served, in order to
determine whether in its judgment the proposed district may
adequately maintain a community college in accordance with such
desirable standards. In reviewing the application the State
Board shall consider the feasibility of any proposed
utilization of existing public or private educational
facilities and land within or in near proximity to the boundary
of the proposed district, and of contracting with such public
or private institutions for the provision of educational
programs. If the State Board finds as the result of its study
that it is not possible for the proposed district to produce a
desirable program of community college education at a
reasonable cost, it shall provide a brief statement of the
reasons for this decision and shall thereupon cause a copy of
the statement to be published in a newspaper or newspapers
having a general circulation in the territory of the proposed
district and no election shall be held or further proceedings
had on said petition to establish such a community college
district. In approving a request for a new community college
district, If approved the State Board shall make submit its
findings to the Board of Higher Education for a determination
as to whether or not the proposal is in conformity with a
comprehensive community college program. When the State Board
of Higher Education approves the request for a new community
college, the State Board shall prepare a report of such action
on the petition. The report shall contain a brief statement of
the reasons for the decision and a resume stating why the State
Board deems it possible for the proposed district to provide a
desirable 2-year two-year college program at reasonable cost,
the conditions under which such operation would be possible,
the estimated results of such operation in terms of local
taxes, the nature and probable cost of alternative methods of
providing adequate community college educational opportunities
for students in the territory involved and such other
information as the State Board believes may be helpful to the
voters in such territory in voting on the proposition to
establish a community college district.

    (110 ILCS 805/3-20.3.01)  (from Ch. 122, par. 103-20.3.01)
    Sec. 3-20.3.01. Whenever, as a result of any lawful order
of any agency, other than a local community college board,
having authority to enforce any law or regulation designed for
the protection, health or safety of community college students,
employees or visitors, or any law or regulation for the
protection and safety of the environment, pursuant to the
"Environmental Protection Act", any local community college
district, including any district to which Article VII of this
Act applies, is required to alter or repair any physical
facilities, or whenever any district determines that it is
necessary for energy conservation, health or safety,
environmental protection or accessibility purposes that any
physical facilities should be altered or repaired and that such
alterations or repairs will be made with funds not necessary
for the completion of approved and recommended projects for
fire prevention and safety, or whenever after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1984 any district, including any
district to which Article VII applies, provides for alterations
or repairs determined by the local community college board to
be necessary for health and safety, environmental protection,
accessibility or energy conservation purposes, such district
may, by proper resolution which specifically identifies the
project and which is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the
Open Meetings Act, levy a tax for the purpose of paying for
such alterations or repairs, or survey by a licensed architect
or engineer, upon the equalized assessed value of all the
taxable property of the district at a rate not to exceed .05%
per year for a period sufficient to finance such alterations or
repairs, upon the following conditions:
    (a) When in the judgment of the local community college
board of trustees there are not sufficient funds available in
the operations and maintenance fund of the district to
permanently pay for such alterations or repairs so ordered,
determined as necessary.
    (b) When a certified estimate of a licensed architect or
engineer stating the estimated amount that is necessary to make
the alterations or repairs so ordered or determined as
necessary has been secured by the local community college
district and the project and estimated amount have been
approved by the Executive Director of the State Board.
    The filing of a certified copy of the resolution or
ordinance levying the tax when accompanied by the certificate
of approval of the Executive Director of the State Board shall
be the authority of the county clerk or clerks to extend such
tax; provided, however, that in no event shall the extension
for the current and preceding years, if any, under this Section
be greater than the amount so approved, and interest on bonds
issued pursuant to this Section and in the event such current
extension and preceding extensions exceed such approval and
interest, it shall be reduced proportionately.
    The county clerk of each of the counties in which any
community college district levying a tax under the authority of
this Section is located, in reducing raised levies, shall not
consider any such tax as a part of the general levy for
community college purposes and shall not include the same in
the limitation of any other tax rate which may be extended.
Such tax shall be levied and collected in like manner as all
other taxes of community college districts.
    The tax rate limit hereinabove specified in this Section
may be increased to .10% upon the approval of a proposition to
effect such increase by a majority of the electors voting on
that proposition at a regular scheduled election. Such
proposition may be initiated by resolution of the local
community college board and shall be certified by the secretary
of the local community college board to the proper election
authorities for submission in accordance with the general
election law.
    Each local community college district authorized to levy
any tax pursuant to this Section may also or in the alternative
by proper resolution or ordinance borrow money for such
specifically identified purposes not in excess of $4,500,000 in
the aggregate at any one time when in the judgment of the local
community college board of trustees there are not sufficient
funds available in the operations and maintenance fund of the
district to permanently pay for such alterations or repairs so
ordered or determined as necessary and a certified estimate of
a licensed architect or engineer stating the estimated amount
has been secured by the local community college district and
the project and the estimated amount have been approved by the
State Board, and as evidence of such indebtedness may issue
bonds without referendum. However, Community College District
No. 522 and Community College District No. 536 may or in the
alternative by proper resolution or ordinance borrow money for
such specifically identified purposes not in excess of
$20,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time when in the
judgment of the community college board of trustees there are
not sufficient funds available in the operations and
maintenance fund of the district to permanently pay for such
alterations or repairs so ordered or determined as necessary
and a certified estimate of a licensed architect or engineer
stating the estimated amount has been secured by the community
college district and the project and the estimated amount have
been approved by the State Board, and as evidence of such
indebtedness may issue bonds without referendum. Such bonds
shall bear interest at a rate or rates authorized by "An Act to
authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences
of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to
interest rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26,
1970, as now or hereafter amended, shall mature within 20 years
from date, and shall be signed by the chairman, secretary and
treasurer of the local community college board.
    In order to authorize and issue such bonds the local
community college board shall adopt a resolution fixing the
amount of bonds, the date thereof, the maturities thereof and
rates of interest thereof, and the board by such resolution, or
in a district to which Article VII applies the city council
upon demand and under the direction of the board by ordinance,
shall provide for the levy and collection of a direct annual
tax upon all the taxable property in the local community
college district sufficient to pay the principal and interest
on such bonds to maturity. Upon the filing in the office of the
county clerk of each of the counties in which the community
college district is located of a certified copy of such
resolution or ordinance it is the duty of the county clerk or
clerks to extend the tax therefor without limit as to rate or
amount and in addition to and in excess of all other taxes
heretofore or hereafter authorized to be levied by such
community college district.
    The State Board shall set through administrative rule
prepare and enforce regulations and specifications for minimum
requirements for the construction, remodeling or
rehabilitation of heating, ventilating, air conditioning,
lighting, seating, water supply, toilet, accessibility, fire
safety and any other matter that will conserve, preserve or
provide for the protection and the health or safety of
individuals in or on community college property and will
conserve the integrity of the physical facilities of the
district.
    This Section is cumulative and constitutes complete
authority for the issuance of bonds as provided in this Section
notwithstanding any other statute or law to the contrary.
