18 purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated
19 finding warrants reporting to the Registry. Notice to the
20 employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of
21 the grounds on which the report to the Registry is based,
22 offer the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and
23 identify the process for requesting such a hearing. Notice
24 is sufficient if provided by certified mail to the
25 employee's last known address. If the employee fails to
26 request a hearing within 30 days from the date of the

10200HB5186sam002- 21 -LRB102 24774 HLH 37869 a

12 burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a
13 preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated
14 finding warrants reporting to the Registry. After
15 considering all the evidence presented, the administrative
16 law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as
17 to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting
18 the name of the employee to the Registry. The Secretary
19 shall render the final decision. The Department and the
20 employee shall have the right to request that the
21 administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition
22 of these proceedings.
23 (4) Testimony at Registry hearings. A person who makes
24 a report or who investigates a report under this Act shall
25 testify fully in any judicial proceeding resulting from
26 such a report, as to any evidence of abuse or neglect, or

7 requirements of subsection (f) of Section 10 of the Mental
8 Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act.
9 (5) Employee's rights to collateral action. No

14 adverse employment action resulting from a substantiated
15 finding by complaint filed with the Illinois Civil Service
16 Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the
17 employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective
18 bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer
19 against an employee as a result of a finding of physical
20 abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned
21 through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
22 Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining
23 agreement and if that employee's name has already been
24 sent to the Registry, the employee's name shall be removed
25 from the Registry.

19Illinois Finance Authority shall approve the terms and
20conditions, including the schedule, of repayments. The
21schedule shall provide for repayments commencing July 1 of
22each year or upon each fiscal year's receipt of moneys from a
23tax levy for emergency financial assistance. Repayment shall
24be incorporated into the annual budget of the school district

15educational purposes for the prior year of less than 120% of
16the maximum rate for educational purposes authorized by
17Section 17-2 shall provide for a separate tax levy for
18emergency financial assistance repayment purposes. Such tax
19levy shall not be subject to referendum approval. The amount
20of the levy shall be equal to the amount necessary to meet the
21annual repayment obligations of the district as established by
22the Panel, or 20% of the amount levied for educational
23purposes for the prior year, whichever is less. However, no
24district shall be required to levy the tax if the district's
25operating tax rate as determined under Section 18-8, 18-8.05,
26or 18-8.15 exceeds 200% of the district's tax rate for

10200HB5186sam002- 73 -LRB102 24774 HLH 37869 a

15 "Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for
16 Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group
17 Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of
18 Ozone", hereinafter referred to as the "NOx SIP Call",
19 compliance with which will require reducing emissions of
20 nitrogen oxides ("NOx");
21 (2) That reducing emissions of NOx in the State helps
22 the State to meet the national ambient air quality
23 standard for ozone;
24 (3) That emissions trading is a cost-effective means
25 of obtaining reductions of NOx emissions.

17 (d) In adopting regulations to implement the NOx Trading
18Program, the Board shall:
19 (1) assure that the economic impact and technical

9 (815 ILCS 505/7) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 267)
10 Sec. 7. Injunctive relief; restitution; and civil
11penalties.
12 (a) Whenever the Attorney General or a State's Attorney
13has reason to believe that any person is using, has used, or is
14about to use any method, act or practice declared by this Act
15to be unlawful, and that proceedings would be in the public
16interest, he or she may bring an action in the name of the
17People of the State against such person to restrain by
18preliminary or permanent injunction the use of such method,
19act or practice. The Court, in its discretion, may exercise
20all powers necessary, including but not limited to:

5Attorney General or State's Attorney may request and the Court
6may impose a civil penalty in a sum not to exceed $50,000
7against any person found by the Court to have engaged in any
8method, act or practice declared unlawful under this Act. In

10been entered into with the intent to defraud, the court has the
11authority to impose a civil penalty in a sum not to exceed
12$50,000 per violation.
13 (c) In addition to any other civil penalty provided in
14this Section, if a person is found by the court to have engaged
15in any method, act, or practice declared unlawful under this
16Act, and the violation was committed against a person 65 years
17of age or older, the court may impose an additional civil
18penalty not to exceed $10,000 for each violation.

23deposit such moneys into the Fund monthly. All of the moneys
24deposited into the Fund shall be appropriated to the
25Department on Aging for grants to senior centers in Illinois.
26 An award of restitution under subsection (a) has priority

10200HB5186sam002- 189 -LRB102 24774 HLH 37869 a
1over a civil penalty imposed by the court under this
2subsection.
3 In determining whether to impose a civil penalty under
4this subsection and the amount of any penalty, the court shall
5consider the following:
6 (1) Whether the defendant's conduct was in willful
7 disregard of the rights of the person 65 years of age or
8 older.
9 (2) Whether the defendant knew or should have known
10 that the defendant's conduct was directed to a person 65
11 years of age or older.
12 (3) Whether the person 65 years of age or older was
13 substantially more vulnerable to the defendant's conduct
14 because of age, poor health, infirmity, impaired
15 understanding, restricted mobility, or disability, than
16 other persons.
17 (4) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.
18 (d) This Section applies if: (i) a court orders a party to
19make payments to the Attorney General and the payments are to
20be used for the operations of the Office of the Attorney
21General or (ii) a party agrees, in an Assurance of Voluntary
22Compliance under this Act, to make payments to the Attorney
23General for the operations of the Office of the Attorney
24General.
25 (e) Moneys paid under any of the conditions described in
26subsection (d) shall be deposited into the Attorney General

4for the performance of any function pertaining to the exercise
5of the duties of the Attorney General including but not
6limited to enforcement of any law of this State and conducting
