Rep. Luis Arroyo

Amends the Survivor Support and Trafficking Prevention Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Repeals a provision making the Article inoperative on and after June 30, 2019. Effective immediately. House Floor Amendment No. 2 Deletes reference to: 305 ILCS 5/16-7 rep. Adds reference to: 305 ILCS 5/16-7 Replaces everything after the enacting clause.

Amends the Personal Information Protection Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title. House Committee Amendment No. 2 Deletes reference to: 815 ILCS 530/1 Adds reference to: New Act Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Data Transparency and Privacy Act. Finds that individuals have a right to privacy in information pertaining to the individual. Provides that an entity that collects through the Internet personal information about individual consumers must make disclosures to the individual regarding the collection of the information. Establishes that a consumer has a right to opt out of the sale of the consumer's information. Provides for enforcement by the Attorney General. Effective April 1, 2020. Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 2 (Office of the Attorney General) The proposed legislation, HB 3358 (H-AM 2) may require our Consumer Bureau to hire up to three additional privacy attorneys to undertake the additional privacy enforcement that may be required by the bill. Privacy enforcement is a specialized area for which attorneys must be knowledgeable in data security, which can get very technical and requires additional training and certifications, such as the Certified Information Privacy Professional designation issued by the International Association of Privacy Professionals. Because of the specialized nature of this work and the demand for attorneys with this expertise, we anticipate the salary of each attorney hired to perform the work required by this bill to be $86,500 each. Additional costs related to retirement contributions, social security , and group insurance would total $77,578 for each attorney. Because of the uncertainty in the additional level of work this bill may require of our Consumer Bureau, we estimate the costs to our office to range from $164,078, for one attorney, up to $494,234 for three attorneys. House Floor Amendment No. 3 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates a Data Transparency and Privacy Act different than that contained in House Amendment No. 2. Finds that individuals have a right to privacy and a personal property interest in information pertaining to the individual. Provides that an entity that collects through the Internet personal information about individual consumers must make disclosures to the individual regarding the collection of the information.

Creates exemptions for certain retail transactions, credit arrangements, and government program utilization. Provides for enforcement by the Attorney General. Provides that there is no private right of action to enforce the Act. Effective April 1, 2020.

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.
