STATE EMPLOYEES
The DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL
MANAGEMENT SERVICES adopted
amendments to "Pay Plan" (80 Ill Adm
Code 310; 35 Ill Reg 19885), effective
3/19/12, updating various job titles
and pay rates to reflect earlier
rulemakings and to reflect a pay freeze
imposed upon employees of certain
State agencies who are represented
by collective bargaining units. The
rulemaking changes the job titles of
"pharmacist" technician and lead tech-nician
to "pharmacy" and changes
their numerical code classifications.
Further amendments add pay rates
for the public service administrator
(PSA) option 8L job title, senior public
service administrator (SPSA) option 7
job titles at the Department of Rev-enue
and Illinois Gaming Board, and
certain SPSA option 7 job titles of the
Illinois State Police to negotiated pay
rates affected by the Fiscal Year 2012
pay freeze. According to DCMS, these
amendments apply changes made in
earlier rulemakings to portions of the
Part that had not been updated.

SURVEYOR LICENSURE
The DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL
AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION
adopted amendments to rules titled
"Illinois Professional Land Surveyor
Act of 1989" (68 Ill Adm Code 1270; 35
Ill Reg 19570), effective 5/1/12, imple-menting
Public Acts 96-626 and 97-
543, that clarify minimum requirements
allowing a candidate to sit for the
Fundamentals of Surveying licensure
examination. The rulemaking also
clarifies the type of experience and
degree required for licensure applica-tion,
and applicants who receive their
education in a foreign country are
required to have their education evalu-ated
on a course-by-course basis.
The rulemaking also increases the li-censure
restoration fee from $20 to
$50 and strikes attendance at land
surveying education programs as a
demonstration of competence when
applying for license restoration. Fur-ther
amendments update the Ameri-can
Land Title Association's hand-book
to reflect 2011 standards. Small
businesses employing licensed, pro-fessional
land surveyors may be im-pacted
by this rulemaking.
DISABLED PARKING
The SECRETARY OF STATE proposed
an amendment to "Cancellation, Re-vocation
or Suspension of Licenses or
Permits" (92 Ill Adm Code 1040; 36 Ill
Reg 4696) that increases penalties for
misuse of a disabled parking placard
or decal. Effective 7/1/12, unautho-rized
use of a disabled parking permit
by a person who is not the permit
holder, or who is not transporting the
permit holder, will incur a 6-month
driver's license suspension (currently
1 month) upon conviction for the first
offense and a 12-month suspension
(currently 6 months) for the second
offense. (The penalty for a 3rd or sub-sequent
offense is license revocation.)
