Illinois Statutes Chapter 20. Executive Branch § 1305/1-25. Unified electronic management and intake information and reporting system

(a) The Department of Human Services shall implement and use a unified electronic management and intake information and reporting system. The Department may own and operate the system itself or use equipment, services, or facilities provided by private or other governmental entities under contract or agreement. The system shall be implemented as expeditiously as may be practical and, as originally implemented, shall comply as closely as possible with the plan approved by the Task Force on Human Services Consolidation under this Section.

(b) The Director of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget), in consultation with the Task Force on Human Services Consolidation and the directors of the departments reorganized under this Act, shall prepare and submit to the Task Force by January 1, 1997 a plan for the development and implementation of the unified electronic management and intake information and reporting system.

The Task Force shall review the plan and, by February 1, 1997, shall either approve the plan in accordance with subsection (c) or return it to the Director of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget) with the Task Force's recommendations for change. If the plan is returned for change, the Director of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget) shall revise the plan and, by March 1, 1997, shall submit the revised plan to the Task Force for review and approval. If the Task Force does not approve the revised plan as submitted by the Director of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget), it may continue to work with the Director on a further revision of the plan or it may adopt and approve a plan of its own.

(c) To approve a plan under this Section, the Task Force shall file with the Secretary of State a certified copy of the plan and a certified copy of a resolution approving the plan, adopted with the affirmative vote of at least 4 of the voting members of the Task Force.

(d) Until the Task Force on Human Services Consolidation approves a plan for the development and implementation of the unified electronic management and intake information and reporting system, no additional powers or duties (other than those provided in House Bill 2632 of the 89th General Assembly  1 or this amendatory Act of 1996) shall be statutorily transferred from any agency to the Department.
