House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that no person shall conduct ethylene oxide sterilization operations, unless the ethylene oxide sterilization source captures 100% of all ethylene oxide emissions and reduces ethylene oxide emissions to the atmosphere from each exhaust point at the ethylene oxide sterilization source by at least 99.9% or to 0.2 parts per million. Requires that, within 180 days after the effective date of the amendatory Act or prior to any ethylene oxide sterilization operation for any source that first becomes subject to regulation after the effective date as an ethylene oxide sterilization source, the owner or operator of the ethylene oxide sterilization source shall conduct an initial emissions test. Sets forth criteria for the test and requires certain information concerning the test be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. Requires the owner or operator of the ethylene oxide sterilization source to conduct emissions testing on all exhaust points at the ethylene oxide sterilization source at least once each calendar year (at least 6 months apart) to demonstrate compliance with these requirements and any applicable requirements concerning ethylene oxide that are set forth in either United States Environmental Protection Agency rules or Pollution Control Board rules.

Prohibits a facility that is permitted to emit ethylene oxide and subject to a seal order from using ethylene oxide for sterilization or fumigation purposes. Requires specified entities to notify the Agency of any property right in sterilization technology that does not involve the use of ethylene oxide. Provides that, within 30 days after discovering noncompliance with specified requirements the Agency must post a notice on its website and notify the specified persons and entities. Requires the Agency to conduct at least one unannounced inspection of all ethylene oxide sterilization sources subject to the provisions per year. Requires the Agency to (i) conduct air testing to determine ambient levels of ethylene oxide and (ii) submit rules for ambient air testing of ethylene oxide to the Board within 180 days after the amendatory Act's effective date.

Creates the Retention of Illinois Students and Equity Act. Provides for legislative findings and a definition. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a student attending an institution of higher learning in this State who is deemed an Illinois resident for tuition purposes and is not otherwise eligible to receive federal financial aid shall be eligible to apply or receive consideration for State financial aid, including any student aid or benefit funded or administered by the State, a State agency, or any public institution of higher learning, including, but not limited to, scholarships, grants, awards, stipends, free room and board, tuition waivers, or other financial or in-kind assistance. House Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Makes changes to the legislative findings. Provides that a student who is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, including, but not limited to, a transgender student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective service or a noncitizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence, shall be eligible for State financial aid and benefits. Provides that, to ensure equity, success, and the retention of Illinois residents, a student who is an Illinois resident may not be subject to any caps on grant assistance available under the Monetary Award Program other than those required by State law. Provides that the eligibility requirements for any student aid or benefit funded or administered by the State shall be interpreted to promote the broadest eligibility for students who are Illinois residents in accordance with State law or policy. Makes other changes. Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (IL Student Assistance Commission) The scholarship and grant programs that ISAC administers are subject to appropriation. Thus, making more students eligible to apply for these programs (which HB 2691 does) will not automatically add to their cost. However, funding additional recipients would either require additional appropriations or shifting dollars from other low-income students who are currently eligible. Based on limited available data, including estimates provided by advocates for the bill of the number of undocumented Illinois students, approximately 3,500 students may become newly eligible for the Monetary Award Program (MAP) under HB 2691, as amended, adding about $9.0 million in annual demand for the program. Without additional funding, adding new recipients would require shifting dollars from other recipients. This projection incorporates estimates of the number of undocumented Illinois students, transgender students who may be required to register for Selective Service, and students who are currently ineligible for MAP because they have used the program to help pay for at least 75 credit hours but have not yet attained junior status. This estimate could be low for several reasons. Overall demand for funding could increase in future years as additional students apply. Also, ISAC does not have adequate information to estimate the potential increase in demand for smaller grant programs (which are also subject to appropriation) or any increases in demand for ISAC-administered programs attributable to students who receive in-state tuition rates because of their military or veteran status. State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity) This bill does not create a State mandate.
Creates the Keep Illinois Families Together Act. Provides that the Attorney General, within 90 days of the effective date of this Act, in consultation with the appropriate stakeholders, shall propose new rules related to limiting assistance with immigration enforcement at the following facilities to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and State law to ensure that these facilities remain safe and accessible to all Illinois residents, regardless of immigration status: (1) public schools, including public pre-schools and other early learning programs, public elementary and secondary schools, and public institutions of higher education; (2) State-funded medical treatment and health care facilities, including hospitals, health clinics, emergency or urgent care facilities, nursing homes, group homes for persons with developmental disabilities, community-integrated living arrangements, and State mental health facilities; (3) public libraries; (4) facilities operated by the Office of the Secretary of State; and (5) courthouses. Provides that within 6 months of the effective date of the Act, all State agencies, public schools, and public institutions of higher education shall review their confidentiality policies to identify any changes necessary to limit collection of information from individuals to that information necessary to perform agency duties and to limit use or disclosure of information for any other purpose. Provides that a law enforcement agency or official may not inquire about the citizenship or immigration status or place of birth of any individual, including any person who has been arrested or detained by the agency, any person in the agency or official's custody, any person submitting to questioning by the agency or official, any crime victim, any witness, or any person who calls or approaches the law enforcement agency or official seeking assistance. Makes other changes. Fiscal Note (Dept. of Central Management Services) There is no fiscal impact to the Department of Central Management Services. Fiscal Note (Office of the Attorney General) HB 1637 would not have a significant fiscal impact on our Office as an existing bureau within the Office of the Attorney General could cover the work. House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Keep Illinois Families Together Act. Provides that on or after the effective date of the Act, no law enforcement agency or official may enter into or remain in an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under a federal delegated authority program. Provides that nothing shall preclude a law enforcement official from otherwise executing that official's duties in ensuring public safety. Defines terms. Effective immediately.

Provides that as soon as possible but not later than 24 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after emergency admission of a respondent to a mental health facility on an inpatient basis, the respondent shall be personally examined (rather than examined) by a psychiatrist. Provides that for the purpose of this provision, a personal examination includes an examination performed in real time (synchronous examination) via an Interactive Telecommunication System as defined in the Illinois Administrative Code. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Provides that an examination via an Interactive Telecommunication System may only be used for certification that the respondent is subject to involuntary admission when a psychiatrist is not on-site within the time period set forth in the Code. Provides that if the examination is performed via an Interactive Communication System, that fact shall be noted on the certificate.
