ILLINOIS ENTERPRISE COMMISSION

Creates the Illinois Enterprise Commission Act. Provides for each legislative leader to appoint 3 public members to the Commission. Authorizes employment of an executive director and staff. Requires the Commission and its staff to scrutinize the existing Illinois laws and administrative rules to see which rules are serving as a net drag on Illinois job creation and economic productivity. Requires the Commission to annually adopt, by two-thirds majority vote, and submit to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the executive director of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR), an omnibus list of all of the administrative rules within the Illinois Administrative Code that the Commission believes can be repealed, abolished, or amended to maximize the wealth and productivity of Illinois. Allows for public comment. Requires the Commission to recommend replacement rules. Allows JCAR, by a single, up-or-down record vote, to accept a report by a three-fifths majority, which has the effect of prohibiting the rules on the list. Sets forth a procedure for adoption of recommended or other rules as emergency rules. Requires the Commission to annually adopt, by two-thirds majority vote, and submit to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the executive director of the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB), an omnibus list of all of the laws, and sections of laws, within the Illinois Compiled Statutes that the Commission believes can be repealed, abolished, or amended to maximize the wealth and productivity of Illinois. Allows for public comment. Requires the Commission, in cooperation with LRB, to oversee the drafting of an omnibus revisory bill reflecting the Commission's recommendations. Repeals the Act on January 1, 2018. Effective immediately.
