INTRODUCTION

The Illinois Register is the official state document for publishing public notice of rulemaking

activity initiated by State governmental agencies. The table of contents is arranged categorically

by rulemaking activity and alphabetically by agency within each category.

Rulemaking activity consists of proposed or adopted new rules; amendments to or repealers of

existing rules; and rules promulgated by emergency or peremptory action. Executive Orders and

Proclamations issued by the Governor; notices of public information required by State Statute;

and activities (meeting agendas; Statements of Objection or Recommendation, etc.) of the Joint

Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR), a legislative oversight committee which monitors

the rulemaking activities of State Agencies; is also published in the Register.

The Register is a weekly update of the Illinois Administrative Code (a compilation of the rules

adopted by State agencies). The most recent edition of the Code, along with the Register,

comprise the most current accounting of State agencies' rulemakings.

The Illinois Register is the property of the State of Illinois, granted by the authority of the Illinois

Administrative Procedure Act [5 ILCS 100/1-1, et seq.].

SUBPART B: LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Section 303.112 Sick Leave Bank

a) This Section contains rules governing the operation of plans allowing

participating employees in each agency to bank portions of their accrued sick

leave in a sick leave bank to be used by participating employees in the same

agency who have exhausted their accrued vacation time, personal days, sick leave

or compensatory time. This Section provides a framework within which each

agency may administer a sick leave bank. Individual agency procedures should

be consistent with the framework set forth in this Section unless alternative

procedures have been agreed upon pursuant to collective bargaining negotiations.

b) Definitions

1) "Agency" means any branch, department, board, committee or

commission of State government, but does not include units of local

government, school districts or boards of election commissioners [5 ILCS

400/5.10].

2) "Sick leave bank" means a depository into which participating employees

may donate accrued sick leave time for allocation to other participating

employees [5 ILCS 400/5.15].

3) "Participating employee" means a permanent full- or part-time employee

who has been employed by a State agency for a period of 6 months or

more who voluntarily enrolls in the sick leave bank by depositing at least

one full day of accrued sick leave in that bank [5 ILCS 400/5.20]. An

employee who wishes to enroll must have a minimum of 5 days of accrued

sick time on the books.

4) "Catastrophic illness or injury" means temporary disability or incapacity

resulting from a life threatening illness or injury or illness or injury of


20



other catastrophic proportion as determined by the Director. Factors

considered by the Director shall include the length of time the employee

must be absent from work due to illness or injury. Catastrophic illness or

injury may be due to, but not limited to, cancer, heart disease, stroke or

another serious illness or injury resulting in an employee missing more

than 25 work days.

5) "Personal catastrophic illness or injury" means a catastrophic illness or

injury to the employee or, if agreed upon by the agency head and the

Director, members of the employee's immediate family. Factors to be

considered in determining if an employee's immediate family members are

covered include the nature and duration of the catastrophic illness or

injury; whether the person is financially and emotionally dependent on the

employee; whether the presence of the employee is needed; and whether

the individuals are covered pursuant to collective bargaining negotiations.

Immediate family shall mean spouse, civil union partner, child, parent or

any person living in the employee's household for whom the employee has

custodial responsibility.

c) Participation in the sick leave bank is voluntary on the part of any employee.

Employees wishing to participate must be permanent full-time or part-time

employees with a minimum of 6 months of service.

d) A participating employee may deposit into the sick leave bank as much accrued

sick leave as desired provided that the participating employee shall retain in his

or her own account at least 5 sick days [5 ILCS 400/10(b)].

e) Employees may voluntarily enroll at any time. Employees shall wait 60 calendar

days after enrollment before utilizing the sick leave bank.

f) An employee may use up to 25 work days from the sick leave bank per 12-month

period, except that participating employees shall not use sick leave accumulated

in the sick leave bank until all of their accrued vacation, personal days, sick leave

and compensatory time have been used. The Director may approve limits of other

than 25 work days per 12-month period. Factors considered in determining if an

alternate limit should be approved include:

1) the personnel jurisdiction governing the agency and employees in

question;


20



2) whether limits have been established through collective bargaining

negotiations;

3) the desire for uniformity among agency plans;

4) operational needs of the agency.

g) Any sick leave in the sick leave bank used by a participating employee shall be

only for the personal catastrophic illness or injury of the employee and may not be

transferred, returned or used for any other purpose.

h) Each State agency shall develop procedures, consistent with this Section, for

establishing a single sick leave bank for all agency employees.

i) Injuries and illnesses that are compensable under the Workers' Compensation Act

[820 ILCS 305] or Workers' Occupational Disease Act [820 ILCS 310] shall not

be eligible for sick leave bank use.

j) Participating employees who transfer from one agency to another may transfer

their participation in the sick leave bank [5 ILCS 400/10(f)].

k) An employee shall not be eligible to withdraw the sick leave time he or she has

contributed to the bank.

l) Decisions affecting a participating employee's use of the sick leave bank may be

submitted by the employee to a review committee. Unless otherwise approved by

the Department, the committee shall consist of one agency representative and two

Department representatives. In determining if alternative committee membership

should be approved, the Department shall consider the jurisdiction governing the

agency or employees in question. Decisions of review committees shall be final

and binding; however, employees are permitted to submit additional medical

documentation upon receipt of a denied application for use. The committee will

review the additional medical documentation and make a determination for

approval or denial based on the entirety of medical documentation provided.

m) Any abuse of the use of the sick leave bank shall be investigated by the agency

and the Department and upon a finding of wrongdoing on the part of a

participating employee, that employee shall repay all sick leave days drawn from


20



the sick leave bank and shall be subject to other disciplinary action [5 ILCS

400/10(h)].

Repeal a grant program for the establishment of a new college, campus, or branch.

Define "cooperative agreement".

Amend the approval process for cooperative agreements to reflect ICCB's approval

authority.

Clarify the extension of curricula/credit courses as a policy separate from the approval of

contractual agreements.

PA 100-1049 amends the Dual Credit Quality Act. The adopted amendment requires a

community college district, upon the request of a school district within the jurisdiction of

the community college district, to enter into a partnership agreement with the school

district to offer dual credit coursework. In addition, high school teachers who do NOT


20



meet Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and IBHE or ICCB requirements to be

qualified faculty may teach dual credit courses under a professional development plan.

These changes require the ICCB to amend its administrative rules regarding dual credit.

ILLINOIS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


1) Heading of the Part: Political Subdivision Emergency Services and Disaster Agencies



301.125 New Section

301.450 Amendment

301.510 Amendment

301.520 Amendment

4) Statutory Authority: Implements and is authorized by Sections 5(f)(4), 5(f)(5.5), and

5(f)(5.10) of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, 20 ILCS 3305.

5) A Complete Description of the Subjects and Issues Involved: IEMA is proposing these

amendments to Part 301 to clarify requirements and processes and to allow greater

flexibility for IEMA and local emergency services and disaster agencies (ESDAs) when

dealing with disasters. Local ESDAs have requirements for training and exercises in

order to become accredited by IEMA and receive federal funding. Due to several

extreme and extended response to disasters in 2019 and 2020, it has become difficult for

local ESDA coordinators to meet the training and exercise requirements for accreditation.

Therefore, IEMA is proposing to provide greater flexibility by eliminating timing limits

when requesting a waiver of exercise requirements under Section 301.450 and by

allowing for the extension of accreditation/certification deadlines in Sections 301.510 and

301.520. In addition, IEMA is adding an exemption/exception provision in order to

provide a mechanism for IEMA to meet the needs of local ESDAs when they need relief

from requirements due to the responsibilities of their jobs, including responding to

disasters.

6) Any published studies or reports, along with the sources of underlying data, that were

used when composing this rulemaking, in accordance with 1 Ill Adm. Code 100.355: No

7) Will this rulemaking replace any emergency rule currently in effect? Yes





20



11) Statement of Statewide Policy Objective: The requirements imposed by the proposed

rulemaking are not expected to require local governments to establish, expand, or modify

their activities in such a way as to necessitate additional expenditures from local

revenues.

12) Time, Place and Manner in which interested persons may comment on this rulemaking:

Comments on this proposed rulemaking may be submitted in writing for a period of 45

days following publication of this Notice. The Agency will consider fully all written

comments on this proposed rulemaking submitted during the 45 day comment period.

Comments should be submitted to:

Traci Burton, Paralegal Assistant

Illinois Emergency Management Agency

1035 Outer Park Drive


217/785-9860


A) Types of small businesses, small municipalities or not-for-profit corporations

affected: The Agency believes this rulemaking will have no direct impact on any

small businesses or not-for-profit corporations. However, this proposed

rulemaking could affect small municipalities if they receive certification from

their county for emergency management by providing greater flexibility.




15) Regulatory Agenda on which this rulemaking was summarized: This proposed

rulemaking was not summarized on a regulatory agenda as it was not anticipated in

January. The COVID-19 disaster brought the issues resulting in this rulemaking to light.

The full text of the Proposed Amendments begin on the next page:

process of a Board of Trustee to a fund. After a review of the election results

provided by the fund, the Department will, within 3 business days, set an agreed

upon date, time and place to conduct the tie breaker procedure with the

corresponding fund. The fund and the Department shall notify the candidates of a

tie and the agreed upon date, time and place to be present. Candidates' contact

information shall be provided by the fund. The agreed upon date shall not exceed

20 business days after the recording of election results. The Department shall then

proceed with the following tie breaking procedure:

1) All candidates must present proof of identity to the Department, at the

time of the tie breaker, by means of a federally accepted form of

identification.

2) If a candidate is not present, the candidate will be declared to have

forfeited the election.

3) Using a coin, the tied candidates shall take part in a coin toss.

4) The first selection of the coin side will be based on the alphabetic order of

the candidates' last names. If the candidates have the same last name, the

order proceeds to the candidates' official first names. The candidates'

middle names and any suffix (Jr., Sr., II, etc.) will not be considered. If

the candidates have the same last and first names, then the order in which

the candidates appeared on the ballot will be used for the coin toss

selection.

the Director's designated representative tosses the coin into the air. The

candidate that wins the coin toss will be declared the winner. The winning

candidate will be acknowledged in the Board Minutes.

outcome.

b) If the election results in more than two tied candidates for the same trustee

position within the same fund, the tied candidates will draw a sealed envelope

from a designated box. The sealed envelope will contain a corresponding number

based on the total number of tied candidates for the same trustee position within

the fund. The candidates drawing the numbers 1 and 2 will proceed to the coin

toss procedure as outlined. The order of envelope selection by the candidates will

be based on the alphabetical order of the candidates' names, taking into

considerations the exceptions outlined in subsection (a)(4). However, if a

candidate is not present, the candidate will be declared to have forfeited the

election. The box and sealed numbers will be independently stored and created by

the Department.

Section 4451.40 Policy and Notification

The fund shall notify all Article 3 and Article 4 pension funds of the final election results,

including the tie breaker results, by means of posting the results on the fund's official website.

The results, as provided to the Department, should be posted and updated as necessary after the

tie breaker results. Results, as provided to the Department, should be posted at the time of the

initial results or updated within one business day after a tie breaker, if necessary.

and hard-to-fill positions and describes either a cohort that is

available to enroll in the identified preparation program or time-

specific plans for identifying and attracting the members of such a

cohort;

B) The proposal describes strategies that will be used to reach

members of underrepresented groups that reflect the diversity of

the students enrolled in the participating schools and outlines plans

for serving additional cohorts in future years;

and in-kind resources of each member of the consortium that will

enable the consortium to sustain the program over time with a

reduction in the need for GYO State funds;

G) The budget clearly describes the proposed use of grant funds as

allowable, reasonable and cost-effective; and

require the wearing of a back patch and depositing hunting license (or

Firearm Owner's Identification card if the hunter is exempt from buying a

license).

3) In the event that Department budget reductions or site staffing reductions

make the operation of check stations impractical, State sites that now

require check stations and other restrictive hunter regulations may be

opened to statewide regulations or closed to hunting by posting such

notice at the site.

4) Statewide regulations shall apply at sites where windshield cards are

issued, except that each hunter must obtain a free site windshield card

online from the Department website. This windshield card must be

displayed under the vehicle windshield, face up, and with the windshield

card number visible. Hunters must report their annual harvest online

(even if the hunter did not hunt) by February 15 or two weeks after the

6) All hunter or trapper quotas are filled on a first come-first served basis

unless a drawing or special permit is used. The Department shall use a

special permit or drawing whenever past hunter or trapper participation at

a particular site reveals that the demand exceeds the quota established by

the Department. Hunters or trappers will be notified as expeditiously as

possible through site postings, news releases or public announcements

when quotas are established.

7) During pheasant, rabbit, quail and partridge season, hunters are required to

8) Non-hunting or non-trapping partners may accompany hunters and

trappers on their hunting or trapping trips. Partners must be unarmed and

remain with the hunter or trapper throughout the trip. On sites where

special permits are required, each permit holder or party is limited to one

non-hunting or non-trapping partner per trip. On sites with waterfowl

blinds, non-hunters count towards the blind's maximum occupancy.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

2020-43

EXECUTIVE ORDER 2020-43

(COVID-19 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 41)

Community Revitalization Order

WHEREAS, since early March 2020, Illinois has faced a pandemic that has caused

extraordinary sickness and loss of life, infecting over 140,000 and growing, and taking the lives

of thousands of residents; and,

WHEREAS, at all times but especially during a public health crisis, protecting the health and

safety of Illinoisans is among the most important functions of State government; and,

WHEREAS, as Illinois enters the fifth month of responding to the public health disaster caused

by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel severe acute respiratory illness that spreads

rapidly through respiratory transmissions and that continues to be without an effective treatment

or vaccine, the burden on residents, healthcare providers, first responders, and governments

throughout the State is unprecedented; and,

WHEREAS, as circumstances surrounding COVID-19 rapidly evolve and new evidence

emerges, there have been frequent changes in information and public health guidance; and,

WHEREAS, although the CDC initially recommended against wearing cloth face coverings or

masks as protection, as a result of research on asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission,

the CDC revised its conclusions and recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings

where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain; and,

WHEREAS, public health research and guidance increasingly supports wearing cloth face

coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, and

indicates that the risk of transmission outdoors is less than the risk of transmission indoors; and,

WHEREAS, as COVID-19 has spread in Illinois over the course of the Gubernatorial Disaster

Proclamations, the circumstances causing a disaster throughout the State have changed and

continue to change, making definitive predictions of the course the virus will take over the

coming months extremely difficult; and,

WHEREAS, as of today, June 26, 2020, there have been over 140,000 confirmed cases of

COVID-19 in 101 Illinois counties; and,

WHEREAS, as of today, June 26, 2020, more than 6,800 residents of Illinois have died due to

COVID-19; and,


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

WHEREAS, the CDC now estimates that for every reported case of COVID-19, there are 10

unreported infections, resulting in a number of total cases in the country that may be 10 times

higher than currently reported; and,

WHEREAS, social distancing, face coverings, and other public health precautions have proven

to be critical in slowing and stopping the spread of COVID-19; and,

WHEREAS, although the number of new COVID-19 cases has decreased in recent weeks, the

virus continues to infect thousands of individuals and claim the lives of too many Illinoisans

each day; and,

WHEREAS, while the precautions taken by Illinoisans have led to a steep decline in the number

of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the State in recent weeks, other states that have resisted taking

public health precautions or that lifted those precautions earlier are now experiencing

exponential growth and record high numbers of cases; and,

WHEREAS, COVID-19 has claimed the lives of and continues to impact the health of Black

and Hispanic Illinoisans at a disproportionately high rate – magnifying significant health

disparities and inequities; and,

WHEREAS, while hospitalizations have declined, Illinois is using a significant percentage of

hospital beds and ICU beds, and, if COVID-19 cases were to surge, the State could face a

shortage of critical health care resources; and,

WHEREAS, in addition to causing the tragic loss of more than 6,800 Illinoisans and wreaking

havoc on the physical health of tens of thousands more, COVID-19 has caused extensive

economic loss and continues to threaten the financial welfare of a significant number of

individuals and businesses across the nation and the State; and,

WHEREAS, the Illinois Department of Employment Security announced that the State's

unemployment rate rose to 16.4% in April, with 762,000 jobs lost during that month; and,


unemployment rate was 15.2% in May, and that major Illinois industries such as leisure and

hospitality, transportation and utilities, and educational and health services had been particularly

hard-hit during the March to May period; and,

WHEREAS, the Illinois Department of Employment Security is responding to the economic

crisis in a number of ways, including through the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program;

and,


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

WHEREAS, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is working to address the

economic crisis, including through assistance programs such as the Business Interruption Grants

Program for businesses that experienced a limited ability to operate due to COVID-19 related

closures; and,

WHEREAS, the economic loss and insecurity caused by COVID-19 threatens the viability of

business and the access to housing, medical care, food, and other critical resources that directly

impact the health and safety of residents; and,

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing facts, and considering the expected continuing spread of

COVID-19 and the ongoing health and economic impacts that will be felt over the coming month

by people across the State, I declared that the current circumstances in Illinois surrounding the

spread of COVID-19 constitute an epidemic emergency and a public health emergency under

Section 4 of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act; and,

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, I declared that the continuing burden on hospital

resources, the potential shortages of these resources in the event of a surge in infections, and the

critical need to increase the purchase and distribution of PPE as well as to expand COVID-19

testing capacity constitute a public health emergency under Section 4 of the Illinois Emergency

Management Agency Act;

THEREFORE, by the powers vested in me as the Governor of the State of Illinois, pursuant to

the Illinois Constitution and Sections 7(1), 7(2), 7(3), 7(8), 7(9), and 7(12) of the Illinois

Emergency Management Agency Act, 20 ILCS 3305, and consistent with the powers in public

health laws, I hereby order the following, effective immediately:

Community Revitalization Order

1. Intent of this Executive Order. The intent of this Executive Order is to safely and

conscientiously resume and expand activities that were paused or limited as COVID-19

cases rose exponentially and threatened to overwhelm our healthcare system. As

Illinoisans safely resume and expand these activities, we must not backslide on the

progress we have made. We cannot risk overwhelming our healthcare system, and we

must prioritize the health and lives of all Illinoisans, especially the most vulnerable

among us. While protecting our communities, we will restore our economy and begin to

repair the economic damage that the virus has caused. The intent of this Executive Order

is to effectuate those goals.

This Executive Order supersedes Executive Order 2020-38.


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

2. Public health requirements for individuals. Individuals must take the following public

health steps to protect their own and their neighbors' health and lives:

a. Practice social distancing. To the extent individuals are using shared spaces

when outside their residence, including when outdoors, they must at all times and

as much as reasonably possible maintain social distancing of at least six feet from

any other person who does not live with them.

b. Wear a face covering in public places or when working. Any individual who

is over age two and able to medically tolerate a face covering (a mask or cloth

face covering) shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a face

covering when in a public place and unable to maintain a six-foot social distance.

This requirement applies whether in an indoor space, such as a store, or in a

public outdoor space where maintaining a six-foot social distance is not always

possible.

c. Elderly people and those who are vulnerable as a result of illness should take

additional precautions. People at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19,

including elderly people and those with a health condition that may make them

vulnerable, are urged to stay in their residence and minimize in-person contact

with others to the extent possible.

d. Limit gatherings. Any gathering of more than fifty people is prohibited unless

exempted by this Executive Order. Nothing in this Executive Order prohibits the

gathering of members of a household or residence. Because in-person contact

presents the greatest risk of transmission of COVID-19, Illinoisans are

encouraged to continue limiting in-person contact with others and to expand their

social contact cautiously. Gathering remotely continues to be the safest way to

interact with those outside a household or residence.

e. Go outdoors. Public health guidance suggests that the risks of transmission of

COVID-19 are greatly reduced outdoors as opposed to indoors. Where possible,

Illinoisans are encouraged to conduct their activities outdoors.

3. Public health requirements for businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. For

the purposes of this Executive Order, covered businesses include any for-profit, non-

profit, or educational entity, regardless of the nature of the service, the function it

performs, or its corporate or entity structure. Those entities must take the following

public health measures to protect their employees, their customers, and all others who

come into physical contact with their operations:


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

a. Requirements for all businesses. All businesses must:

• continue to evaluate which employees are able to work from home, and

are encouraged to facilitate remote work from home when possible;

• ensure that employees practice social distancing and wear face coverings

when social distancing is not always possible;

• ensure that all spaces where employees may gather, including locker

rooms and lunchrooms, allow for social distancing; and

• ensure that all visitors (customers, vendors, etc.) to the workplace can

practice social distancing; but if maintaining a six-foot social distance will

not be possible at all times, encourage visitors to wear face coverings; and

• prominently post the guidance from the Illinois Department of Public

Health (IDPH) and Office of the Illinois Attorney General regarding

workplace safety during the COVID-19 emergency.

The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), in

partnership with IDPH, has developed industry-specific guidance and toolkits to

help businesses operate safely and responsibly. These documents are available at:

https://dceocovid19resources.com/restore-illinois/restore-illinois-phase-4/.

b. Requirements for retail stores. Retail stores must ensure all employees practice

social distancing and must take appropriate additional public health precautions,

in accordance with DCEO guidance, which include:

• provide face coverings to all employees who are not able to maintain a

minimum six-foot social distance from customers and other employees at

all times;

• cap occupancy at 50 percent of store capacity, or, alternatively, at the

occupancy limits based on store square footage set by the Department of

Commerce and Economic Opportunity;

• communicate with customers through in-store signage, and public service

announcements and advertisements, about the social distancing and face

covering requirements set forth in this Order; and

• discontinue use of reusable bags.

c. Requirements for manufacturers. Manufacturers must ensure all employees

practice social distancing and must take appropriate additional public health

precautions, in accordance with DCEO guidance, which include:


minimum six-foot social distance at all times;


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

• ensure that all spaces where employees may gather, including locker

rooms and lunchrooms, allow for social distancing; and

• modify and downsize operations (staggering shifts, reducing line speeds,

operating only essential lines, while shutting down non-essential lines) to

the extent necessary to allow for social distancing and to provide a safe

workplace in response to the COVID-19 emergency.

d. Requirements for office buildings. Employers in office buildings must ensure

all employees practice social distancing and must take appropriate additional

public health precautions, in accordance with DCEO guidance, which may

include:


minimum six-foot social distance at all times;

• consider implementing capacity limits where the physical space does not

allow for social distancing;

• allow telework where possible; and

• develop and prominently post plans and signage to ensure social

distancing in shared spaces such as waiting rooms, service counters, and

cafeterias.

e. Requirements for meetings and events. Indoor venues and meeting spaces can

operate with the lesser of fifty attendees or fifty percent of room capacity, and in

accordance with DCEO guidance.

f. Requirements for restaurants and bars. All businesses that offer food or

beverages for on-premises consumption—including restaurants, bars, grocery

stores, and food halls—may resume service for on-premises consumption, as

permitted by DCEO guidance. Such businesses continue to be permitted and

encouraged to serve food and beverages so that they may be consumed off-

premises, as permitted by law, through means such as in-house delivery, third-

party delivery, drive-through, and curbside pick-up. Establishments offering food

or beverages for on-premises consumption or for carry-out must ensure that they

have an environment where patrons maintain adequate social distancing. All

businesses covered in this section may permit outdoor on-premises food and

beverage consumption in accordance with DCEO guidance and when permitted

by local ordinances and regulations.

g. Requirements for fitness and exercise gyms. Fitness and exercise gyms may be

open in a manner consistent with DCEO guidance, which involves operating for


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

member workouts at a maximum of 50 percent capacity and with social distancing

and other precautions.

h. Requirements for personal services facilities. Personal services facilities such

as spas, hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, waxing centers, tattoo parlors, and

similar facilities may be open but must ensure the use of face coverings,

adherence to social distancing requirements, and use of capacity limits in

accordance with DCEO guidance.

i. Requirements for outdoor recreation, youth day camps, and youth sports.

Businesses offering outdoor recreation, youth day camps, and youth sports may

be open but must ensure the use of face coverings, adherence to social distancing

requirements, and must take other public health steps in accordance with DCEO

guidance.

j. Requirements for places of public amusement. Places of public amusement

may resume services consistent with DCEO guidance for indoor and outdoor

recreation (including but not limited to arcades, bowling alleys, and driving

ranges), museums and aquariums, zoos and botanical gardens, theaters and

performing arts, and outdoor seated spectator events.

k. Requirements for film production. Film production may operate with

restrictions contained in DCEO guidance.

l. Minimum basic operations. All businesses may continue to:

i. Perform necessary activities to maintain the value of the business's

inventory, preserve the condition of the business's physical plant and

equipment, ensure security, process payroll and employee benefits, or for

related functions.

ii. Perform necessary activities to facilitate employees of the business being

able to continue to work remotely.

iii. Fulfill online and telephonic retail orders through pick-up or delivery.

4. Exemptions.

a. Free exercise of religion. This Executive Order does not limit the free exercise

of religion. To protect the health and safety of faith leaders, staff, congregants

and visitors, religious organizations and houses of worship are encouraged to


20

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

consult and follow the recommended practices and guidelines from the Illinois

Department of Public Health. As set forth in the IDPH guidelines, the safest

practices for religious organizations at this time are to provide services online, in

a drive-in format, or outdoors (and consistent with social distancing requirements

and guidance regarding wearing face coverings), and to limit indoor services to 10

people. Religious organizations are encouraged to take steps to ensure social

distancing, the use of face coverings, and implementation of other public health

measures.

b. Emergency functions. All first responders, emergency management personnel,

emergency dispatchers, court personnel, law enforcement and corrections

personnel, hazardous materials responders, child protection and child welfare

personnel, housing and shelter personnel, military, and other governmental

employees working for or to support the emergency response are exempt from

this Executive Order, but are encouraged to practice social distancing and take

recommended public health measures.

c. Governmental functions. This Executive Order does not apply to the United

States government and does not affect services provided by the State or any

municipal, township, county, subdivision or agency of government and needed to

ensure the continuing operation of the government agencies or to provide for or

support the health, safety and welfare of the public.

5. Social Distancing, Face Covering, and PPE Requirements. For purposes of this

Executive Order, social distancing includes maintaining at least six-foot distance from

other individuals, washing hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds as

frequently as possible or using hand sanitizer, covering coughs or sneezes (into the sleeve

or elbow, not hands), regularly cleaning high-touch surfaces, and not shaking hands.

a. Required measures. Businesses must take proactive measures to ensure

EXECUTIVE ORDER IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19


WHEREAS, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel severe acute respiratory illness,

has rapidly spread throughout Illinois in a short period of time, necessitating stringent guidance

from federal, state, and local public health officials and significant measures to respond to the

increasing public health disaster; and,

WHEREAS, COVID-19 can spread among people through respiratory transmissions,

asymptomatic people can transmit the virus, and there is currently no effective treatment or

vaccine; and,

WHEREAS, on March 9, 2020, I, JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, declared all counties in the

State of Illinois as a disaster area in response to the outbreak of COVID-19; and,

WHEREAS, on April 1, 2020, I declared all counties in the State of Illinois as a disaster area

due to the exponential spread of COVID-19; and,

WHEREAS, on April 30, 2020, due to the expected continuing spread of COVID-19 and the

resulting health impacts across the State, as well as the need to prevent potential shortages of

hospital beds, ICU beds, ventilators, personal protective equipment and materials for testing for

the virus, I declared all counties in the State of Illinois as a disaster area; and,

WHEREAS, on May 29, 2020, due to the thousands of lives lost to COVID-19 in Illinois, the

continued increase of cases, the continued threat of shortages of hospital beds, ER beds, and

ventilators, the improved but still insufficient testing capacity, and the financial destruction

caused by the virus, I again declared all counties in the State of Illinois as a disaster area; and,

WHEREAS, on June 26, 2020, due to the ongoing burden on hospital resources, the expected

continuing spread of COVID-19, and the ongoing health and economic impacts that will be felt

over the coming month by people across the State, I again declared all counties in the State of

Illinois as a disaster area (together with the previous proclamations identified in this Executive

Order, the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations); and,

WHEREAS, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, 410 ILCS 705, and implementing

regulations, Title 8, Section 1300 of the Illinois Administrative Code, require the Illinois

application submission deadlines in the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act and implementing

regulations for submitting Craft Grower, Infuser, and Transporting Organization License

applications by March 16, 2020, were suspended until April 30, 2020; and,

WHEREAS, the COVID-19 outbreak and the suspension of the application deadlines have

created delays in IDOA's application review process and have impacted IDOA's ability to issue

the Craft Grower, Infuser, and Transporting Organization Licenses by July 1, 2020; and,

WHEREAS, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, 410 ILCS 705/20-30(m), prohibits

cultivation centers from transporting cannabis to a craft grower, dispensing organization, infuser

organization, or laboratory licensed under the Act without obtaining a Transporting Organization

License beginning July 1, 2020; and,

WHEREAS, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, 410 ILCS 705/25-5(a), requires IDOA, in

coordination with the Illinois Community College Board, to establish a Community College

Cannabis Vocational Pilot Program, and requires community colleges to submit applications to

IDOA for the Community College Cannabis Vocational Pilot Program no later than July 1, 2020,

410 ILCS 705/25-10(a); and,

WHEREAS, the ability of community colleges to complete and submit applications to IDOA by

July 1, 2020, may have been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the measures that the

State has enacted to address the COVID-19 outbreak;

Uprising, considered the catalyst of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and to recognize the

street to renew the struggle against police brutality, white supremacist vigilantism, and

recover from the flash flooding incident; and

WHEREAS, based on reports received by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, local

responsible for ensuring public health and safety, I, JB Pritzker, Governor of the State of Illinois,

adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) to safely treat patients, respond to public health

disasters, and prevent the spread of communicable diseases; and,






WHEREAS, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of

International Concern on January 30, 2020, and the United States Secretary of Health and

Human Services declared that COVID-19 presents a public health emergency on January 27,

threatened shortages of hospital beds, ER beds, and ventilators, and the inadequate testing

WHEREAS, on May 29, 2020, due to the continued spread of COVID-19 in Illinois, and the

resulting health and economic impacts of the virus, and the need to increase testing capacity, I

declared all counties in the State of Illinois as a disaster area; and,

WHEREAS, as circumstances surrounding COVID-19 rapidly evolve and new evidence

emerges, there have been frequent changes in information and public health guidance; and,

WHEREAS, the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, including the health consequences it has

on not just the respiratory system but the heart, brain, kidneys, and the body's immune response,

has made the virus's effects and its path difficult to predict; and,

WHEREAS, from the outset, data suggested that older adults and those with serious underlying

COVID-19; and,

WHEREAS, emerging evidence has shown that young people, including infants and toddlers,

are also at risk of such complications; and,

WHEREAS, some people infected by the virus remain asymptomatic but nonetheless may

spread it to others; and,

WHEREAS, although the CDC initially recommended against wearing cloth face coverings or

masks as protection, as a result of research on asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission,

the CDC revised its conclusions and recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings

where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain; and,

WHEREAS, public health research and guidance increasingly supports wearing cloth face

coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, and

indicates that the risk of transmission outdoors is less than the risk of transmission indoors; and,





WHEREAS, at the time I issued the first Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation, there were 11

confirmed cases of COVID-19 in one Illinois county; and,

WHEREAS, as of today, June 26, 2020, there have been over 140,000 confirmed cases of

2020; and,

WHEREAS, as of today, June 26, 2020, more than 6,800 residents of Illinois have died due to

COVID-19; and,

WHEREAS, from the outset, studies have suggested that for every confirmed case there are

many more unknown cases, some of which are asymptomatic individuals who can pass the virus

to others without knowing; and,

WHEREAS, the CDC now estimates that for every reported case of COVID-19, there are 10

unreported infections, resulting in a number of total cases in the country that may be 10 times

higher than currently reported; and,


20

WHEREAS, although the number of new COVID-19 cases has decreased in recent weeks, the

virus continues to infect thousands of individuals and claim the lives of too many Illinoisans

each day; and,

public health precautions or that lifted those precautions earlier are now experiencing

exponential growth and record high numbers of cases; and,

WHEREAS, the Illinois Department of Public Health activated its Illinois Emergency

Operations Plan and its Emergency Support Function 8 Plan to coordinate emergency response

efforts by hospitals, local health departments, and emergency management systems in order to

avoid a surge in the use of hospital resources and capacity; and,

WHEREAS, as the virus has progressed through Illinois, the crisis facing the State continues to

develop and requires an evolving response to ensure hospitals, health care professionals and first

responders are able to meet the health care needs of all Illinoisans and in a manner consistent

with CDC guidance that continues to be updated; and,

WHEREAS, in order to ensure that health care professionals, first responders, hospitals and

other facilities are able to meet the health care needs of all residents of Illinois, the State must

have critical supplies, including PPE, such as masks, face shields, gowns, and gloves; and,

WHEREAS, the State of Illinois maintains a stockpile that supports the existing PPE supply

chains and stocks at various healthcare facilities; and,

WHEREAS, while the State continues to make every effort to procure PPE, if those

procurement efforts are disrupted or Illinois experiences a surge in COVID-19 cases, the State

faces a life-threatening shortage of respirators, masks, protective eyewear, face shields, gloves,

gowns, and other protective equipment for health care workers and first responders; and,

WHEREAS, while hospitalizations have declined, Illinois is using a significant percentage of

hospital beds and ICU beds, and, if COVID-19 cases were to surge, the State could face a

shortage of critical health care resources; and,

WHEREAS, the State worked with top researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-

Champaign, the Northwestern School of Medicine, the University of Chicago, the Chicago and

Illinois Departments of Public Health, along with McKinsey and Mier Consulting Group, and

Civis Analytics, to analyze daily data on COVID-19 deaths and ICU usage and model potential

outcomes; and,

WHEREAS, the State's modeling shows the tail of the COVID-19 epi curve extending several

more weeks; and,

WHEREAS, the State's modeling continues to show that without extensive social distancing and

other precautions, the State will face a shortage of hospital beds, ICU beds and/or ventilators;

and,

WHEREAS, over the course of the COVID-19 crisis, the State has been constrained in the

number of COVID-19 tests that can be taken and processed due to a limited number of testing

capacity to test no more than a few hundred people per day for COVID-19 at a small number of

testing sites; and,

WHEREAS, the State has developed testing sites throughout Illinois and yesterday exceeded

30,000 tests in a single day, and testing capacity continues to increase; and,

WHEREAS, Illinois now has tested nearly 1.5 million total specimens for COVID-19; and,

continue to increase the number of tests processed per day as part of an effective effort to

permanently slow and reduce the spread of COVID-19; and,

COVID-19 and the ongoing health and economic impacts that will be felt over the coming month

by people across the State, the current circumstances in Illinois surrounding the spread of

COVID-19 constitute an epidemic emergency and a public health emergency under Section 4 of
