(20 ILCS 3900/3-10)
Sec. 3-10. Review and report. (a) During odd-numbered years, beginning in 2027, an appointing authority may review the activity of any board to which the appointing authority is authorized or required to appoint a majority of the members to determine whether the board has conducted business or held meetings in the prior 2 years, has been abolished by executive order, or has submitted a final statutory report. Based on the findings of its review, the appointing authority shall consider whether to submit a report to the General Assembly recommending abolition of the board. (b) On or before December 31 of each odd-numbered year, beginning in 2027, an appointing authority may submit a report to the General Assembly and the Legislative Reference Bureau that recommends the abolition of one or more boards to which the appointing authority is authorized or required to make appointments and that sets forth the basis for each of its recommendations. A report of an appointing authority under this subsection (b) shall not recommend for abolition any board that was authorized or created during the 2-year period immediately before the report's submittal. (c) A board that is recommended for abolition by an appointing authority shall be considered inactive upon submission of the report recommending its abolition to the General Assembly. In an even-numbered year following the report, the Legislative Reference Bureau shall draft a revisory bill that (i) proposes the repeal of the boards found by appointing authorities in the immediately preceding year to be inactive and (ii) makes all other conforming changes that the Bureau deems necessary to provide for the repeal of those boards and their powers and duties. The Bureau shall provide copies of the revisory bill required under this subsection to each legislative leader of the General Assembly.
