AI Summary

  • Creates the Illinois Enterprise Commission, a temporary 12-member body with 3 public members appointed by each of the 4 legislative leaders, consisting of individuals with at least 50% of their career income from private-sector employment.

  • Requires the Commission to annually submit (January 1, 2013-2016) omnibus lists to the Governor, General Assembly, and relevant state officials recommending repeal, abolishment, or amendment of Illinois laws and administrative rules that harm job creation and economic productivity.

  • Commission recommendations require a two-thirds majority vote (8 of 12 members) with at least one vote from members appointed by each legislative leader, and must include recommended replacement rules.

  • Directs the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) to accept or reject the rules list by March 1 each year via single up-or-down record vote; a three-fifths vote by JCAR prohibits all listed rules and allows agencies to adopt emergency replacement rules within 30 days.

  • Establishes the Commission with an executive director and nonpartisan staff, all employment contracts noting the Commission dissolves June 30, 2016, with the Act repealing entirely on January 1, 2017; Commission members receive no compensation but are reimbursed for expenses.
