Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 50 by replacing the title with
the following:
"An Act to amend the Energy Assistance Act of 1989 by changing
Section 6."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Energy Assistance Act of 1989 is amended by
changing Section 6 as follows:
(305 ILCS 20/6) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1406)
Sec. 6. Eligibility, Conditions of Participation, and Energy
Assistance.
(a) Any person who is a resident of the State of Illinois and
whose household income is not greater than an amount determined
annually by the Department, in consultation with the Policy Advisory
Council, 125% of the federal nonfarm poverty level as established by
the federal Office of Management and Budget may apply for assistance
pursuant to this Act in accordance with regulations promulgated by the
Department. In setting the annual eligibility level, the Department
shall consider the amount of available funding and may not set a limit
higher than 150% of the federal nonfarm poverty level as established by
the federal Office of Management and Budget.
(b) Applicants who qualify for assistance pursuant to subsection
(a) of this Section shall, subject to appropriation from the General
Assembly and subject to availability of funds to the Department,
receive energy assistance as provided by this Act. The Department,
upon receipt of monies authorized pursuant to this Act for energy
assistance, shall commit funds for each qualified applicant in an
amount determined by the Department. In determining the amounts of
assistance to be provided to or on behalf of a qualified applicant, the
Department shall ensure that the highest amounts of assistance go to
households with the greatest energy costs in relation to household
income. The Department shall include factors such as energy costs,
household size, household income, and region of the State when
determining individual household benefits. In setting assistance
levels, the Department shall attempt to provide assistance to
approximately the same number of households who participated in the
1991 Residential Energy Assistance Partnership Program. Such
assistance levels shall be adjusted annually on the basis of funding
availability. In promulgating rules for the administration of this
Section the Department shall assure that a minimum of 1/3 of funds
available for benefits to eligible households are made available to
households who are eligible for public assistance and that elderly and
disabled households are offered a one-month application period.
(c) If the applicant is not a customer of an energy provider for
winter energy services or an applicant for such service, such applicant
shall receive a direct energy assistance payment in an amount
established by the Department for all such applicants under this Act;
provided, however, that such an applicant must have rental expenses for
housing greater than 30% of household income.
(d) If the applicant is a customer of an energy provider, such
applicant shall receive energy assistance in an amount established by
the Department for all such applicants under this Act, such amount to
be paid by the Department to the energy provider supplying winter
energy service to such applicant. Such applicant shall:
(i) make all reasonable efforts to apply to any other
7 [November 30. 2000]
appropriate source of public energy assistance; and
(ii) sign a waiver permitting the Department to receive
income information from any public or private agency providing
income or energy assistance and from any employer, whether public
or private.
(e) Any qualified applicant pursuant to this Section may receive
or have paid on such applicant's behalf an emergency assistance payment
to enable such applicant to obtain access to winter energy services.
Any such payments shall be made in accordance with regulations of the
Department.

A message from the Senate by
Mr. Harry, Secretary:
Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives
that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in the
passage of a bill of the following title to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 851
A bill for AN ACT to amend the State Treasurer Act by adding
Section 16.5.
Together with the attached amendment thereto (which amendment has
been printed by the Senate), in the adoption of which I am instructed
to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit:
Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 851.
Passed the Senate, as amended, November 30, 2000.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 851 by replacing the title with
the following:
"AN ACT to amend the State Treasurer Act by amending Section
16.5."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The State Treasurer Act is amended by changing Section
16.5 as follows:
(15 ILCS 505/16.5)
Sec. 16.5. College Savings Pool. The State Treasurer may establish
and administer a College Savings Pool to supplement and enhance the
investment opportunities otherwise available to persons seeking to
finance the costs of higher education. The State Treasurer, in
administering the College Savings Pool, may receive moneys paid into
the pool by a participant and may serve as the fiscal agent of that
participant for the purpose of holding and investing those moneys.
"Participant", as used in this Section, means any person that makes
investments in the pool. "Designated beneficiary", as used in this
Section, means any person on whose behalf an account is established in
the College Savings Pool by a participant. Both in-state and
out-of-state persons may be participants and designated beneficiaries
in the College Savings Pool.
New accounts in the College Savings Pool shall be processed through
participating financial institutions. "Participating financial
institution", as used in this Section, means any financial institution
[November 30. 2000] 8
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and lawfully doing
business in the State of Illinois and any credit union approved by the
State Treasurer and lawfully doing business in the State of Illinois
that agrees to process new accounts in the College Savings Pool.
Participating financial institutions may charge a processing fee to
participants to open an account in the pool that shall not exceed $30
until the year 2001. Beginning in 2001 and every year thereafter, the
maximum fee limit shall be adjusted by the Treasurer based on the
Consumer Price Index for the North Central Region as published by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the
immediately preceding calendar year. Every contribution received by a
financial institution for investment in the College Savings Pool shall
be transferred from the financial institution to a location selected by
the State Treasurer within one business day following the day that the
funds must be made available in accordance with federal law. All
communications from the State Treasurer to participants shall reference
the participating financial institution at which the account was
processed.
The Treasurer may invest the moneys in the College Savings Pool in
the same manner, in the same types of investments, and subject to the
same limitations provided for the investment of moneys by the Illinois
State Board of Investment. To enhance the safety and liquidity of the
College Savings Pool, to ensure the diversification of the investment
portfolio of the pool, and in an effort to keep investment dollars in
the State of Illinois, the State Treasurer shall make a percentage of
each account available for investment in participating financial
institutions doing business in the State. The State Treasurer shall
deposit with the participating financial institution at which the
account was processed the following percentage of each account at a
prevailing rate offered by the institution, provided that the deposit
is federally insured or fully collateralized and the institution
accepts the deposit: 10% of the total amount of each account for which
the current age of the beneficiary is less than 7 years of age, 20% of
the total amount of each account for which the beneficiary is at least
7 years of age and less than 12 years of age, and 50% of the total
amount of each account for which the current age of the beneficiary is
at least 12 years of age. The State Treasurer shall adjust each
account at least annually to ensure compliance with this Section. The
Treasurer shall develop, publish, and implement an investment policy
covering the investment of the moneys in the College Savings Pool. The
policy shall be published (i) at least once each year in at least one
newspaper of general circulation in both Springfield and Chicago and
(ii) each year as part of the audit of the College Savings Pool by the
Auditor General, which shall be distributed to all participants. The
Treasurer shall notify all participants in writing, and the Treasurer
shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in both Chicago and
Springfield, any changes to the previously published investment policy
at least 30 calendar days before implementing the policy. Any
investment policy adopted by the Treasurer shall be reviewed and
updated if necessary within 90 days following the date that the State
Treasurer takes office.
Participants shall be required to use moneys distributed from the
College Savings Pool for qualified expenses at eligible educational
institutions. "Qualified expenses", as used in this Section, means the
following: (i) tuition, fees, and the costs of books, supplies, and
equipment required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible
educational institution and (ii) certain room and board expenses
incurred while attending an eligible educational institution at least
half-time. "Eligible educational institutions", as used in this
Section, means public and private colleges, junior colleges, graduate
schools, and certain vocational institutions that are described in
Section 481 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1088) and
that are eligible to participate in Department of Education student aid
programs. A student shall be considered to be enrolled at least
half-time if the student is enrolled for at least half the full-time
academic work load for the course of study the student is pursuing as
9 [November 30. 2000]
determined under the standards of the institution at which the student
is enrolled. Distributions made from the pool for qualified expenses
shall be made directly to the eligible educational institution,
directly to a vendor, or in the form of a check payable to both the
beneficiary and the institution or vendor, or directly to the
designated beneficiary in a manner that is permissible under Section
529 of the Internal Revenue Code. Any moneys that are distributed in
any other manner or that are used for expenses other than qualified
expenses at an eligible educational institution shall be subject to a
penalty of 10% of the earnings unless the beneficiary dies, becomes
disabled, or receives a scholarship that equals or exceeds the
distribution. Penalties shall be withheld at the time the distribution
is made.
The Treasurer shall limit the contributions that may be made on
behalf of a designated beneficiary based on an actuarial estimate of
what is required to pay tuition, fees, and room and board for 5
undergraduate years at the highest cost eligible educational
institution. The contributions made on behalf of a beneficiary who is
also a beneficiary under the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Program shall be
further restricted to ensure that the contributions in both programs
combined do not exceed the limit established for the College Savings
Pool. The Treasurer shall provide the Illinois Student Assistance
Commission each year at a time designated by the Commission, an
electronic report of all participant accounts in the Treasurer's
College Savings Pool, listing total contributions and disbursements
from each individual account during the previous calendar year. As
soon thereafter as is possible following receipt of the Treasurer's
report, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission shall, in turn,
provide the Treasurer with an electronic report listing those College
Savings Pool participants who also participate in the State's prepaid
tuition program, administered by the Commission. The Commission shall
be responsible for filing any combined tax reports regarding State
qualified savings programs required by the United States Internal
Revenue Service. The Treasurer shall work with the Illinois Student
Assistance Commission to coordinate the marketing of the College
Savings Pool and the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Program when considered
beneficial by the Treasurer and the Director of the Illinois Student
Assistance Commission. The Treasurer's office shall not publicize or
otherwise market the College Savings Pool or accept any moneys into the
College Savings Pool prior to March 1, 2000. The Treasurer shall
provide a separate accounting for each designated beneficiary to each
participant, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, and the
participating financial institution at which the account was processed.
No interest in the program may be pledged as security for a loan.
The assets of the College Savings Pool and its income and operation
shall be exempt from all taxation by the State of Illinois and any of
its subdivisions. The accrued earnings on investments in the Pool once
disbursed on behalf of a designated beneficiary shall be similarly
exempt from all taxation by the State of Illinois and its subdivisions,
so long as they are used for qualified expenses. The provisions of
this paragraph are exempt from Section 250 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act.
The Treasurer shall adopt rules he or she considers necessary for
the efficient administration of the College Savings Pool. The rules
shall provide whatever additional parameters and restrictions are
necessary to ensure that the College Savings Pool meets all of the
requirements for a qualified state tuition program under Section 529 of
the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 529 52). The rules shall provide
for the administration expenses of the pool to be paid from its
earnings and for the investment earnings in excess of the expenses and
all moneys collected as penalties to be credited or paid monthly to the
several participants in the pool in a manner which equitably reflects
the differing amounts of their respective investments in the pool and
the differing periods of time for which those amounts were in the
custody of the pool. Also, the rules shall require the maintenance of
records that enable the Treasurer's office to produce a report for each
[November 30. 2000] 10
account in the pool at least annually that documents the account
balance and investment earnings. Notice of any proposed amendments to
the rules and regulations shall be provided to all participants prior
to adoption. Amendments to rules and regulations shall apply only to
contributions made after the adoption of the amendment.
Upon creating the College Savings Pool, the State Treasurer shall
give bond with 2 or more sufficient sureties, payable to and for the
benefit of the participants in the College Savings Pool, in the penal
sum of $1,000,000, conditioned upon the faithful discharge of his or
her duties in relation to the College Savings Pool.

(70 ILCS 3205/3) (from Ch. 85, par. 6003)
Sec. 3. Legislative Finding and Declaration. It is hereby found
that as a result of deteriorating infrastructure and sports facilities
in the metropolitan area of Chicago, there is a shortage of sports
facilities suitable for use by professional and other sports teams and
other musical, theatrical, cultural, and other social organizations.
It is further found that as a result of the costs to maintain,
repair or replace such infrastructure and facilities, and as a result
of current high financing costs, the private sector, without the
assistance contemplated in this Act, is unable to construct feasibly
adequate sports facilities.
It is further found that the creation of modern sports facilities
and the other results contemplated by this Act would stimulate economic
activity in the State of Illinois, including the creation and
maintenance of jobs, the creation of new and lasting infrastructure and
other improvements, and the attraction and retention of sports and
entertainment events which generate economic activity.
It is further found that professional sports facilities can be
magnets for substantial interstate tourism resulting in increased
retail sales, hotel and restaurant sales, and entertainment industry
sales, all of which increase jobs and economic growth.
It is further found that only three major league professional
baseball franchises play in stadium facilities the construction of
which has not been government-assisted and of those three the most
recently constructed facility was completed in 1914.
It is further found that government assistance was or is an
essential component in the financing of the construction of most
recently built or planned National Football League stadiums.
It is further found that the exercise by the Authority and
governmental owners of the additional powers conferred by this
amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly (i) will materially assist
the development and redevelopment of government owned sports facilities
and thereby alleviate in part the deleterious conditions and confer the
public benefits described in this Section and (ii) is in the public
interest and is declared to be for public purposes.

Sec. 7.8. Illinois Sports Facilities Authority Advisory Board.
(a) There is created the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority
Advisory Board composed of 12 members who are members of the General
Assembly and who are appointed 3 each by the President of the Senate,
the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives.
(b) Members of the Advisory Board shall serve as long as they hold
their designated elected positions. Vacancies shall be filled by
appointment for the unexpired term in the same manner as original
appointments are made. The Advisory Board shall elect its own
chairperson.

under this Section. The Department shall have full power to administer
and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner
provided in this Section, and to determine all rights to credit
memoranda, arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or
penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties and definitions of terms, and employ the same
modes of procedure, as are prescribed in The Hotel Operators'
Occupation Tax Act (except where that Act is inconsistent herewith), as
the same is now or may hereafter be amended, as fully as if the
provisions contained in The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act were
set forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be made
under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a credit
memorandum, the Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who
shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the amount specified, and to
the person named, in such notification from the Department. Such
refund shall be paid by the State Treasurer out of the amounts held by
the State Treasurer as trustee for the Authority.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to authority granted by
this Section may reimburse themselves for their tax liability for such
tax by separately stating such tax as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
imposed under The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, the municipal
tax imposed under Section 8-3-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code, and
the tax imposed under Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority Act.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer,
ex-officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes and penalties
[November 30. 2000] 22
collected hereunder for deposit in a trust fund outside the State
Treasury. On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall certify to the Comptroller the amount to be paid to or
on behalf of the Authority from amounts collected hereunder by the
Department, and deposited into such trust fund during the second
preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to or on behalf of the
Authority shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda)
collected hereunder during such second preceding calendar month by the
Department, less an amount equal to the amount of refunds authorized
during such second preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf
of the Authority, and less 4% of such balance, which sum shall be
retained by the State Treasurer to cover the costs incurred by the
Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of this
Section, as provided herein. Each such monthly certification by the
Department shall also certify to the Comptroller the amount to be so
retained by the State Treasurer for payment into the General Revenue
Fund of the State Treasury.
Each monthly certification by the Department shall certify, of the
amount paid to or on behalf of the Authority, (i) the portion to be
paid to the Authority, and (ii) the portion to be paid into the General
Revenue Fund of the State Treasury on behalf of the Authority as
repayment of amounts advanced advances to the Authority pursuant to
appropriation from the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund.
With respect to each State fiscal year, of the total amount to be
paid to or on behalf of the Authority, the Department shall certify
that payments shall first be made directly to the Authority in an
amount equal to any difference between the annual amount certified by
the Chairman of the Authority pursuant to Section 8.25-4 of the State
Finance Act and the amount appropriated to the Authority from the
Illinois Sports Facilities Fund. Next, the Department shall certify
that payment shall be made into the General Revenue Fund of the State
Treasury in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of
(x) the amount appropriated from the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund to
the Authority and (y) the annual amount certified by the Chairman of
the Authority pursuant to Section 8.25-4 of the State Finance Act and
(ii) $10,000,000. The Department shall certify that all additional
amounts shall be paid to the Authority and used for its corporate
purposes.
Within 10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller, of the
Department's monthly certification of amounts to be paid to or on
behalf of the Authority and amounts to be paid into the General Revenue
Fund, the Comptroller shall cause the warrants to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained in such
certification.
Amounts collected by the Department and paid to the Authority
pursuant to this Section shall be used for the corporate purposes of
the Authority. On June 15, 1992 and on each June 15 thereafter, the
Authority shall repay to the State Treasurer all amounts paid to it
under this Section and otherwise remaining available to the Authority
after providing for (i) payment of principal and interest on, and other
payments related to, its obligations issued or to be issued under
Section 13 of the Act, including any deposits required to reserve funds
created under any indenture or resolution authorizing issuance of the
obligations and payments to providers of credit enhancement, (ii)
payment of obligations under the provisions of any management agreement
with respect to a facility or facilities owned by the Authority or of
any assistance agreement with respect to any facility for which
financial assistance is provided under this Act, and payment of other
capital and operating expenses of the Authority, including any deposits
required to reserve funds created for repair and replacement of capital
assets and to meet the obligations of the Authority under any
management agreement or assistance agreement. Amounts repaid by the
Authority to the State Treasurer hereunder shall be treated as
repayment of amounts deposited into the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund
and credited to the Subsidy Account and used for the corporate purposes
of the Authority. The State Treasurer shall deposit the lesser of
23 [November 30. 2000]
$5,000,000 or one-half of the amount received into the General Revenue
Fund; thereafter, at the beginning of each fiscal year the State
Treasurer shall certify to the State Comptroller for all prior fiscal
years the cumulative amount of any deficiencies in repayments to the
City of Chicago of amounts in the Local Government Distributive Fund
that would otherwise have been allocated to the City of Chicago under
the State Revenue Sharing Act but instead were paid into the General
Revenue Fund under Section 6 of the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act
and that have not been reimbursed, and the Comptroller shall, during
the fiscal year at the beginning of which the certification was made,
cause warrants to be drawn from the amount received for the repayment
of that cumulative amount to the City of Chicago until that cumulative
amount has been fully reimbursed; thereafter, the State Treasurer and
shall deposit the balance of the amount received into the trust fund
established outside the State Treasury under subsection (g) of Section
13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the
Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the constitution of the United States may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be effective
on the first day of the second calendar month next following the month
in which the ordinance or resolution is passed.
If the Authority levies a tax authorized by this Section it shall
transmit to the Department of Revenue not later than 5 days after the
adoption of the ordinance or resolution a certified copy of the
ordinance or resolution imposing such tax whereupon the Department of
Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section on behalf
of the Authority. Upon a change in rate of a tax levied hereunder, or
upon the discontinuance of the tax, the Authority shall not later than
5 days after the effective date of the ordinance or resolution
discontinuing the tax or effecting a change in rate transmit to the
Department of Revenue a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution
effecting such change or discontinuance.

(Source: P.A. 91-51, eff. 6-30-99.)
Section 15. The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act is amended by
changing Section 6 as follows:
(35 ILCS 145/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 481b.36)
Sec. 6. Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
before the last day of each calendar month, every person engaged in the
business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in this State
during the preceding calendar month shall file a return with the
Department, stating:
1. The name of the operator;
2. His residence address and the address of his principal
place of business and the address of the principal place of
business (if that is a different address) from which he engages in
the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in
this State;
3. Total amount of rental receipts received by him during the
preceding calendar month from renting, leasing or letting rooms

the preceding calendar month and upon the basis of which the tax is
imposed;
7. The amount of tax due;
8. Such other reasonable information as the Department may
require.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the Department
does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize his returns to be
filed on a quarter annual basis, with the return for January, February
and March of a given year being due by April 30 of such year; with the
return for April, May and June of a given year being due by July 31 of
such year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
year being due by October 31 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by January 31
of the following year.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the Department
does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to be
filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 31 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the time
within which an operator may file his return, in the case of any
operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him
responsible for filing returns under this Act, such operator shall file
a final return under this Act with the Department not more than 1 month
after discontinuing such business.
Where the same person has more than 1 business registered with the
Department under separate registrations under this Act, such person
shall not file each return that is due as a single return covering all
such registered businesses, but shall file separate returns for each
such registered business.
In his return, the operator shall determine the value of any
consideration other than money received by him in connection with the
renting, leasing or letting of rooms in the course of his business and
he shall include such value in his return. Such determination shall be
subject to review and revision by the Department in the manner
hereinafter provided for the correction of returns.
Where the operator is a corporation, the return filed on behalf of
such corporation shall be signed by the president, vice-president,
27 [November 30. 2000]
secretary or treasurer or by the properly accredited agent of such
corporation.
The person filing the return herein provided for shall, at the time
of filing such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax herein
imposed. The operator filing the return under this Section shall, at
the time of filing such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1% or $25 per calendar year,
whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the operator for
the expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on request.
There shall be deposited in the Build Illinois Fund in the State
Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of total net
proceeds from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of Section 3. Of the
remaining 60%, $5,000,000 shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund and credited to the Subsidy Account each fiscal year by
making monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of $5,000,000 plus
cumulative deficiencies in such deposits for prior months, and an
additional $8,000,000 shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund and credited to the Advance Account each fiscal year by
making monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of $8,000,000 plus any
cumulative deficiencies in such deposits for prior months; provided,
that for fiscal years ending after June 30, 2001, the amount to be so
deposited into the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the
Advance Account each fiscal year shall be increased from $8,000,000 to
the then applicable Advance Amount and the required monthly deposits
beginning with July 2001 shall be in the amount of 1/8 of the then
applicable Advance Amount plus any cumulative deficiencies in those
deposits for prior months. (The deposits of the additional $8,000,000
or the then applicable Advance Amount, as applicable, during each
fiscal year shall be treated as advances of funds to the Illinois
Sports Facilities Authority for its corporate purposes to the extent
paid to the Authority or its trustee and shall be repaid into the
General Revenue Fund in the State Treasury by the State Treasurer on
behalf of the Authority solely from collections of the tax imposed by
the Authority pursuant to Section 19 of the Illinois Sports Facilities
Authority Act, as amended. If in any fiscal year the full amount of the
then applicable Advance Amount is not repaid into the General Revenue
Fund, then the deficiency shall be paid from the amount in the Local
Government Distributive Fund that would otherwise be allocated to the
City of Chicago under the State Revenue Sharing Act.)
For purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the term "Advance Amount"
means, for fiscal year 2002, $22,179,000, and for subsequent fiscal
years through fiscal year 2032, 105.615% of the Advance Amount for the
immediately preceding fiscal year, rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
Of the remaining 60% of the amount of total net proceeds from the
tax imposed by subsection (a) of Section 3 after all required deposits
in the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund, the amount equal to 8% of the
net revenue realized from the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act plus
an amount equal to 8% of the net revenue realized from any tax imposed
under Section 4.05 of the Chicago World's Fair-1992 Authority Act
during the preceding month shall be deposited in the Local Tourism Fund
each month for purposes authorized by Section 605-705 of the Department
of Commerce and Community Affairs Law (20 ILCS 605/605-705) in the
Local Tourism Fund, and beginning August 1, 1999 the amount equal to 6%
of the net revenue realized from the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax
Act during the preceding month shall be deposited into the
International Tourism Fund for the purposes authorized in Section 46.6d
of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. "Net revenue realized
for a month" means the revenue collected by the State under that Act
during the previous month less the amount paid out during that same
month as refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability under that
Act.
After making all these deposits, all other proceeds of the tax
imposed under subsection (a) of Section 3 shall be deposited in the
General Revenue Fund in the State Treasury. All moneys received by the
Department from the additional tax imposed under subsection (b) of
[November 30. 2000] 28
Section 3 shall be deposited into the Build Illinois Fund in the State
Treasury.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a taxpayer,
require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the Department on a form
prescribed by the Department within not less than 60 days after receipt
of the notice an annual information return for the tax year specified
in the notice. Such annual return to the Department shall include a
statement of gross receipts as shown by the operator's last State
income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported
in the State income tax return do not agree with the gross receipts
reported to the Department for the same period, the operator shall
attach to his annual information return a schedule showing a
reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the reasons for the difference.
The operator's annual information return to the Department shall also
disclose pay roll information of the operator's business during the
year covered by such return and any additional reasonable information
which the Department deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy
of the monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns by such operator as
hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section is not
filed when and as required the taxpayer shall be liable for a penalty
in an amount determined in accordance with Section 3-4 of the Uniform
Penalty and Interest Act until such return is filed as required, the
penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
penalty provided for in this Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who willfully signs the
annual return containing false or inaccurate information shall be
guilty of perjury and punished accordingly. The annual return form
prescribed by the Department shall include a warning that the person
signing the return may be liable for perjury.
The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing of an
annual information return shall not apply to an operator who is not
required to file an income tax return with the United States
Government.

The foregoing message from the Senate reporting Senate Amendment
No. 2 to HOUSE BILL 1284 was placed on the Calendar on the order of
Concurrence.
A message from the Senate by
Mr. Harry, Secretary:
Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives
that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in the
passage of a bill of the following title to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 1511
A bill for AN ACT to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963
by changing Section 110-6.3.
Together with the attached amendments thereto (which amendments
have been printed by the Senate), in the adoption of which I am
instructed to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit:
Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 1511.
Senate Amendment No. 2 to HOUSE BILL NO. 1511.
Senate Amendment No. 3 to HOUSE BILL NO. 1511.
Passed the Senate, as amended, November 30, 2000.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1511 by replacing the title with
the following:
"AN ACT in relation to criminal sentencing."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is amended by
changing Section 111-3 as follows:
(725 ILCS 5/111-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 111-3)
Sec. 111-3. Form of charge. (a) A charge shall be in writing and
allege the commission of an offense by:
(1) Stating the name of the offense;
(2) Citing the statutory provision alleged to have been violated;
(3) Setting forth the nature and elements of the offense charged;
(4) Stating the date and county of the offense as definitely as
can be done; and
(5) Stating the name of the accused, if known, and if not known,
designate the accused by any name or description by which he can be
identified with reasonable certainty.
33 [November 30. 2000]
(b) An indictment shall be signed by the foreman of the Grand Jury
and an information shall be signed by the State's Attorney and sworn to
by him or another. A complaint shall be sworn to and signed by the
complainant; Provided, however, that when a citation is issued on a
Uniform Traffic Ticket or Uniform Conservation Ticket (in a form
prescribed by the Conference of Chief Circuit Judges and filed with the
Supreme Court), the copy of such Uniform Ticket which is filed with the
circuit court constitutes a complaint to which the defendant may plead,
unless he specifically requests that a verified complaint be filed.
(c) When the State seeks an enhanced sentence because of a prior
conviction, the charge shall also state the intention to seek an
enhanced sentence and shall state such prior conviction so as to give
notice to the defendant. However, the fact of such prior conviction
and the State's intention to seek an enhanced sentence are not elements
of the offense and may not be disclosed to the jury during trial unless
otherwise permitted by issues properly raised during such trial. For
the purposes of this Section, "enhanced sentence" means a sentence
which is increased by a prior conviction from one classification of
offense to another higher level classification of offense set forth in
Section 5-5-1 of the "Unified Code of Corrections", approved July 26,
1972, as amended; it does not include an increase in the sentence
applied within the same level of classification of offense.
(c-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in all cases in
which the imposition of the death penalty is not a possibility, if an
alleged fact (other than the fact of a prior conviction) is not an
element of an offense but is sought to be used to increase the range of
penalties for the offense beyond the statutory maximum that could
otherwise be imposed for the offense, the alleged fact must be included
in the charging instrument or otherwise provided to the defendant
through a written notification before trial, submitted to a trier of
fact as an aggravating factor, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Failure to prove the fact beyond a reasonable doubt is not a bar to a
conviction for commission of the offense, but is a bar to increasing,
based on that fact, the range of penalties for the offense beyond the
statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for that offense.
Nothing in this subsection (c-5) requires the imposition of a sentence
that increases the range of penalties for the offense beyond the
statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for the offense if
the imposition of that sentence is not required by law.
(d) At any time prior to trial, the State on motion shall be
permitted to amend the charge, whether brought by indictment,
information or complaint, to make the charge comply with subsection (c)
or (c-5) of this Section. Nothing in Section 103-5 of this Code
precludes such an amendment.
(e) The provisions of Article 33B of the Criminal Code of 1961, as
amended, shall not be affected by this Section.
(Source: P.A. 86-964.)
Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by changing
Sections 5-5-3, 5-5-4, 5-8-1, and 5-8-2 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-5-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-3)

the victim under Section 5-5-6 of this Code.
[November 30. 2000] 34
(8) A sentence of participation in a county impact
incarceration program under Section 5-8-1.2 of this Code.
Whenever an individual is sentenced for an offense based upon an
arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and the professional
evaluation recommends remedial or rehabilitative treatment or
education, neither the treatment nor the education shall be the sole
disposition and either or both may be imposed only in conjunction with
another disposition. The court shall monitor compliance with any
remedial education or treatment recommendations contained in the
professional evaluation. Programs conducting alcohol or other drug
evaluation or remedial education must be licensed by the Department of
Human Services. However, if the individual is not a resident of
Illinois, the court may accept an alcohol or other drug evaluation or
remedial education program in the state of such individual's residence.
Programs providing treatment must be licensed under existing applicable
alcoholism and drug treatment licensure standards.
In addition to any other fine or penalty required by law, any
individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code or a similar provision of local ordinance, whose operation
of a motor vehicle while in violation of Section 11-501 or such
ordinance proximately caused an incident resulting in an appropriate
emergency response, shall be required to make restitution to a public
agency for the costs of that emergency response. Such restitution
shall not exceed $500 per public agency for each such emergency
response. For the purpose of this paragraph, emergency response shall
mean any incident requiring a response by: a police officer as defined
under Section 1-162 of the Illinois Vehicle Code; a fireman carried on
the rolls of a regularly constituted fire department; and an ambulance
as defined under Section 4.05 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Systems Act.
Neither a fine nor restitution shall be the sole disposition for a
felony and either or both may be imposed only in conjunction with
another disposition.
(c) (1) When a defendant is found guilty of first degree murder
the State may either seek a sentence of imprisonment under Section
5-8-1 of this Code, or where appropriate seek a sentence of death
under Section 9-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
(2) A period of probation, a term of periodic imprisonment or
conditional discharge shall not be imposed for the following
offenses. The court shall sentence the offender to not less than
the minimum term of imprisonment set forth in this Code for the
following offenses, and may order a fine or restitution or both in
conjunction with such term of imprisonment:
(A) First degree murder where the death penalty is not
imposed.
(B) Attempted first degree murder.
(C) A Class X felony.
(D) A violation of Section 401.1 or 407 of the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, or a violation of subdivision
(c)(2) of Section 401 of that Act which relates to more than 5

(E) A violation of Section 5.1 or 9 of the Cannabis
Control Act.
(F) A Class 2 or greater felony if the offender had been
convicted of a Class 2 or greater felony within 10 years of
the date on which the offender committed the offense for which
he or she is being sentenced, except as otherwise provided in
Section 40-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
Dependency Act.
(G) Residential burglary, except as otherwise provided
in Section 40-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
Dependency Act.
(H) Criminal sexual assault, except as otherwise
provided in subsection (e) of this Section.
(I) Aggravated battery of a senior citizen.

activities of an organized gang.

"organized gang" means an association of 5 or more persons,
with an established hierarchy, that encourages members of the
association to perpetrate crimes or provides support to the
members of the association who do commit crimes.
Beginning July 1, 1994, for the purposes of this
paragraph, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
Prevention Act.

of a local ordinance.
(4) A minimum term of imprisonment of not less than 7

service, as may be determined by the court, shall be imposed for a
violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code during a
period in which the defendant's driving privileges are revoked or
suspended, where the revocation or suspension was for a violation
of Section 11-501 or Section 11-501.1 of that Code.
(5) The court may sentence an offender convicted of a
business offense or a petty offense or a corporation or
unincorporated association convicted of any offense to:
(A) a period of conditional discharge;
(B) a fine;
(C) make restitution to the victim under Section 5-5-6
of this Code.

disposition of probation or conditional discharge for a Class 1
felony committed while he was serving a term of probation or
conditional discharge for a felony.
(7) When a defendant is adjudged a habitual criminal under

the defendant to a term of natural life imprisonment.
(8) When a defendant, over the age of 21 years, is convicted
of a Class 1 or Class 2 felony, after having twice been convicted
of any Class 2 or greater Class felonies in Illinois, and such
charges are separately brought and tried and arise out of different
[November 30. 2000] 36
series of acts, such defendant shall be sentenced as a Class X

the case shall be remanded to the trial court. The trial court shall
hold a hearing under Section 5-4-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections
which may include evidence of the defendant's life, moral character and
occupation during the time since the original sentence was passed. The
trial court shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The trial
court may impose any sentence which could have been imposed at the
original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code of
Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on collateral attack
due to the failure of the trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a
reasonable doubt the existence of a fact (other than a prior
conviction) necessary to increase the punishment for the offense beyond
the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be
re-sentenced to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the
State files notice of its intention to again seek the extended
sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.
(e) In cases where prosecution for criminal sexual assault or
aggravated criminal sexual abuse under Section 12-13 or 12-16 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 results in conviction of a defendant who was a
family member of the victim at the time of the commission of the
offense, the court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim
and may impose a sentence of probation only where:
(1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are appropriate:
(A) the defendant is willing to undergo a court approved
counseling program for a minimum duration of 2 years; or
(B) the defendant is willing to participate in a court
approved plan including but not limited to the defendant's:
(i) removal from the household;
(ii) restricted contact with the victim;
(iii) continued financial support of the family;
(iv) restitution for harm done to the victim; and
(v) compliance with any other measures that the
court may deem appropriate; and
(2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the victim's
counseling services, to the extent that the court finds, after
considering the defendant's income and assets, that the defendant
is financially capable of paying for such services, if the victim
was under 18 years of age at the time the offense was committed and
requires counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section 5-6-4;
except where the court determines at the hearing that the defendant
violated a condition of his or her probation restricting contact with
the victim or other family members or commits another offense with the
victim or other family members, the court shall revoke the defendant's
probation and impose a term of imprisonment.
For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and "victim"
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 12-12 of the
Criminal Code of 1961.

the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease, including a test
for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other
37 [November 30. 2000]
identified causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS). Any such medical test shall be performed only by appropriately
licensed medical practitioners and may include an analysis of any
bodily fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's person.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test shall be
kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in the
testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the judge's
inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of
the victim and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing may be
revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test results.
The court shall also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and

parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's parents
or legal guardian of the test results. The court shall provide
information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling at
Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to whom the
results of the testing are revealed and shall direct the State's
Attorney to provide the information to the victim when possible. A
State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of any
HIV test administered under this Section, and the court shall grant the
disclosure if the State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to
prosecute a charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section
12-16.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court
shall order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county
and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.

appear for the judge's inspection in camera if requested by the judge.
Acting in accordance with the best interests of those in the courtroom,
the judge shall have the discretion to determine what if any
precautions need to be taken to prevent transmission of the disease in
the courtroom.
(h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense under Section
1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act, the defendant shall
undergo medical testing to determine whether the defendant has been
exposed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Except
as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test shall be kept
strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing
and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of
the court in which the conviction was entered for the judge's
inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of
the public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom,
if anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court shall
notify the defendant of a positive test showing an infection with the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide information
on the availability of HIV testing and counseling at Department of
Public Health facilities to all parties to whom the results of the
testing are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
the information to the victim when possible. A State's Attorney may
petition the court to obtain the results of any HIV test administered
under this Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the
State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a charge of
criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal Code
of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order that the cost of
any such test shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs
against the convicted defendant.

violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or
a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any violation of the
Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar provision of a local

ordinance, shall be collected and disbursed by the circuit clerk as
provided under Section 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
(j) In cases when prosecution for any violation of Section 11-6,
11-8, 11-9, 11-11, 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-17.1, 11-18,
11-18.1, 11-19, 11-19.1, 11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13, 12-14,
12-14.1, 12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of court
supervision, or an order of probation granted under Section 10 of the
Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled
Substance Act of a defendant, the court shall determine whether the
defendant is employed by a facility or center as defined under the
Child Care Act of 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary
school, or otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court shall order
the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the judgment of conviction or
order of supervision or probation to the defendant's employer by
certified mail. If the employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk
of the Court shall direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of
conviction or order of supervision or probation to the appropriate
regional superintendent of schools. The regional superintendent of
schools shall notify the State Board of Education of any notification
under this subsection.
(j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is convicted of a
felony and who has not been previously convicted of a misdemeanor or
felony and who is sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the Illinois
Department of Corrections shall as a condition of his or her sentence
be required by the court to attend educational courses designed to
prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to work toward a
high school diploma or to work toward passing the high school level
Test of General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
completing a vocational training program offered by the Department of
Corrections. If a defendant fails to complete the educational training
required by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory supervised
release, require the defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a
course of study toward a high school diploma or passage of the GED
test. The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
institution while serving a mandatory supervised release term; however,
the inability of the defendant after making a good faith effort to
obtain financial aid or pay for the educational training shall not be
deemed a wilful failure to comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall
recommit the defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high school
diploma or has successfully passed the GED test. This subsection (j-5)
does not apply to a defendant who is determined by the court to be
developmentally disabled or otherwise mentally incapable of completing
the educational or vocational program.
(k) A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for a felony
or misdemeanor that requires the defendant to be implanted or injected
with or to use any form of birth control.
(l) (A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of subsection (l),
whenever a defendant, who is an alien as defined by the Immigration
and Nationality Act, is convicted of any felony or misdemeanor
offense, the court after sentencing the defendant may, upon motion
of the State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand the
defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of the United
States or his or her designated agent to be deported when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued against
the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the Immigration
and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not deprecate
the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and would not be
39 [November 30. 2000]
inconsistent with the ends of justice.
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided in
this Chapter V.
(B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a felony
or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on probation under
Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the court may, upon motion of
the State's Attorney to suspend the sentence imposed, commit the
defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of the United
States or his or her designated agent when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued against
the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the Immigration
and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not deprecate
the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and would not be
inconsistent with the ends of justice.
(C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who are
subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of
Section 3-6-3.
(D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant
sentenced under this Section returns to the jurisdiction of the
United States, the defendant shall be recommitted to the custody of
the county from which he or she was sentenced. Thereafter, the
defendant shall be brought before the sentencing court, which may
impose any sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not
be eligible for additional good conduct credit for meritorious
service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
(m) A person convicted of criminal defacement of property under
Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, in which the property
damage exceeds $300 and the property damaged is a school building,
shall be ordered to perform community service that may include cleanup,
removal, or painting over the defacement.

Sec. 5-5-4. Resentences.
Where a conviction or sentence has been set aside on direct review
or on collateral attack, the court shall not impose a new sentence for
the same offense or for a different offense based on the same conduct
which is more severe than the prior sentence less the portion of the
prior sentence previously satisfied unless the more severe sentence is
based upon conduct on the part of the defendant occurring after the
original sentencing. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at trial to
determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a fact (other than
a prior conviction) necessary to increase the punishment for the
offense beyond the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the
defendant may be re-sentenced to a term within the range otherwise
provided or, if the State files notice of its intention to again seek
the extended sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.

return to serve the unexpired prior sentence may have his sentence by
the Illinois court ordered to be concurrent with the prior sentence in
the other state. The court may order that any time served on the
unexpired portion of the sentence in the other state, prior to his
return to Illinois, shall be credited on his Illinois sentence. The
other state shall be furnished with a copy of the order imposing
sentence which shall provide that, when the offender is released from
confinement of the other state, whether by parole or by termination of
sentence, the offender shall be transferred by the Sheriff of the
committing county to the Illinois Department of Corrections. The court
shall cause the Department of Corrections to be notified of such
sentence at the time of commitment and to be provided with copies of
all records regarding the sentence.
(f) A defendant who has a previous and unexpired sentence of
imprisonment imposed by an Illinois circuit court for a crime in this
State and who is subsequently sentenced to a term of imprisonment by
another state or by any district court of the United States and who has
served a term of imprisonment imposed by the other state or district
court of the United States, and must return to serve the unexpired
prior sentence imposed by the Illinois Circuit Court may apply to the
court which imposed sentence to have his sentence reduced.
The circuit court may order that any time served on the sentence
imposed by the other state or district court of the United States be
credited on his Illinois sentence. Such application for reduction of a
sentence under this subsection (f) shall be made within 30 days after
the defendant has completed the sentence imposed by the other state or
district court of the United States.

of which the offender was convicted unless the factors in aggravation
set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 5-5-3.2 were found to be present.

unless he is first given an opportunity to withdraw his plea without
prejudice.

prior service annuity for each year of certified prior service credited
to him, except that a member shall receive 1/3 of the prior service
annuity for each year of service for which contributions have been made
and all of such annuity shall be payable after the member has made
contributions for a period of 3 years. Proportionate amounts shall be
payable for service of less than a full year after completion of at
least 12 months.
The total period of service to be considered in establishing the
measure of prior service annuity shall include service credited in the
Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois and the State
Universities Retirement System for which contributions have been made
by the member to such systems; provided that at least 1 year of the

of prior service annuity shall consist of membership service in this
system for which credit has been granted.

1998 and is a noncovered employee, the retirement annuity for
membership service and prior service shall be 2.2% of final average
compensation for each year of service. Any service credit established
as a covered employee shall be computed as stated in paragraph (b).

service credit established as a covered employee it shall be 1.67% of
final average compensation for each year of service.
(c) For a member with 30 but less than 35 years of creditable
service retiring after attaining age 55 but before age 60 with at least
30 but less than 35 years of creditable service if retirement is before
January 1, 2001, or with at least 25 but less than 30 years of
creditable service if retirement is on or after January 1, 2001, the
retirement annuity shall be reduced by 1/2 of 1% for each month that
the member's age is under age 60 at the time of retirement.
(d) A retirement annuity shall not exceed 75% of final average
compensation, subject to such extension as may result from the
application of Section 14-114 or Section 14-115.
(e) The retirement annuity payable to any covered employee who is
a member of the System and in service on January 1, 1969, or in service
thereafter in 1969 as a result of legislation enacted by the Illinois
General Assembly transferring the member to State employment from
county employment in a county Department of Public Aid in counties of
3,000,000 or more population, under a plan of coordination with the Old
Age, Survivors and Disability provisions thereof, if not fully insured
for Old Age Insurance payments under the Federal Old Age, Survivors and
Disability Insurance provisions at the date of acceptance of a
retirement annuity, shall not be less than the amount for which the
45 [November 30. 2000]
member would have been eligible if coordination were not applicable.
(f) The retirement annuity payable to any covered employee who is
a member of the System and in service on January 1, 1969, or in service
thereafter in 1969 as a result of the legislation designated in the
immediately preceding paragraph, if fully insured for Old Age Insurance
payments under the Federal Social Security Act at the date of
acceptance of a retirement annuity, shall not be less than an amount
which when added to the Primary Insurance Benefit payable to the member
upon attainment of age 65 under such Federal Act, will equal the
annuity which would otherwise be payable if the coordinated plan of
coverage were not applicable.
(g) In the case of a member who is a noncovered employee, the
retirement annuity for membership service as a security employee of the
Department of Corrections or security employee of the Department of
Human Services shall be 1.9% of final average compensation for each of
the first 10 years of service,; 2.1% for each of the next 10 years of
service,; 2.25% for each year of service in excess of 20 but not
exceeding 30,; and 2.5% for each year in excess of 30; except that the
annuity may be calculated under subsection (a) rather than this
subsection (g) if the resulting annuity is greater.
(h) In the case of a member who is a covered employee, the
retirement annuity for membership service as a security employee of the
Department of Corrections or security employee of the Department of
Human Services shall be 1.67% of final average compensation for each of
the first 10 years of service,; 1.90% for each of the next 10 years of
service,; 2.10% for each year of service in excess of 20 but not
exceeding 30,; and 2.30% for each year in excess of 30.
(i) For the purposes of this Section and Section 14-133 of this
Act, the term "security employee of the Department of Corrections" and
the term "security employee of the Department of Human Services" shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in subsection (c) of Section 14-110.
(j) The retirement annuity computed pursuant to paragraphs (g) or
(h) shall be applicable only to those security employees of the
Department of Corrections and security employees of the Department of
Human Services who have at least 20 years of membership service and who
are not eligible for the alternative retirement annuity provided under
Section 14-110. However, persons transferring to this System under
Section 14-108.2 who have service credit under Article 16 of this Code
may count such service toward establishing their eligibility under the
20-year service requirement of this subsection; but such service may be
used only for establishing such eligibility, and not for the purpose of
increasing or calculating any benefit.
(k) (Blank).
(l) The changes to this Section made by this amendatory Act of
1997 (changing certain retirement annuity formulas from a stepped rate
to a flat rate) apply to members who retire on or after January 1,
1998, without regard to whether employment terminated before the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. An annuity shall not be
calculated in steps by using the new flat rate for some steps and the
superseded stepped rate for other steps of the same type of service.

at least 35 years of creditable service, or who retires on or after
January 1, 2001 at an age which, when added to the number of years of
his or her creditable service, equals at least 85, shall, on January 1,
next following the first full year of retirement, have the amount of
the then fixed and payable monthly retirement annuity increased 3%.
Any person receiving a retirement annuity under this Article who
retires before attainment of age 60 and with less than (i) 35 years of
creditable service if retirement is before January 1, 2001, or (ii) the
number of years of creditable service which, when added to the member's
age, would equal 85, if retirement is on or after January 1, 2001,
[November 30. 2000] 46
shall have the amount of the fixed and payable retirement annuity
increased by 3% on the January 1 occurring on or next following (1)
attainment of age 60, or (2) the first anniversary of retirement,
whichever occurs later. However, for persons who receive the
alternative retirement annuity under Section 14-110, references in this
subsection (a) to attainment of age 60 shall be deemed to refer to
attainment of age 55. For a person receiving early retirement
incentives under Section 14-108.3 whose retirement annuity began after
January 1, 1992 pursuant to an extension granted under subsection (e)
of that Section, the first anniversary of retirement shall be deemed to
be January 1, 1993.
On each January 1 following the date of the initial increase under
this subsection, the employee's monthly retirement annuity shall be
increased by an additional 3%.
Beginning January 1, 1990, all automatic annual increases payable
under this Section shall be calculated as a percentage of the total
annuity payable at the time of the increase, including previous
increases granted under this Article.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this Section shall be
applicable to an employee only if the employee makes the additional
contributions required after December 31, 1969 for the purpose of the
automatic increases for not less than the equivalent of one full year.
If an employee becomes an annuitant before his additional contributions
equal one full year's contributions based on his salary at the date of
retirement, the employee may pay the necessary balance of the
contributions to the system, without interest, and be eligible for the
increasing annuity authorized by this Section.
(c) The provisions of subsection (a) of this Section shall not be
applicable to any annuitant who is on retirement on December 31, 1969,
and thereafter returns to State service, unless the member has
established at least one year of additional creditable service
following reentry into service.
(d) In addition to other increases which may be provided by this
Section, on January 1, 1981 any annuitant who was receiving a
retirement annuity on or before January 1, 1971 shall have his
retirement annuity then being paid increased $1 per month for each year
of creditable service. On January 1, 1982, any annuitant who began
receiving a retirement annuity on or before January 1, 1977, shall have
his retirement annuity then being paid increased $1 per month for each
year of creditable service.
On January 1, 1987, any annuitant who began receiving a retirement
annuity on or before January 1, 1977, shall have the monthly retirement
annuity increased by an amount equal to 8¢ per year of creditable
service times the number of years that have elapsed since the annuity
began.
(e) Every person who receives the alternative retirement annuity
under Section 14-110 and who is eligible to receive the 3% increase
under subsection (a) on January 1, 1986, shall also receive on that
date a one-time increase in retirement annuity equal to the difference
between (1) his actual retirement annuity on that date, including any
increases received under subsection (a), and (2) the amount of
retirement annuity he would have received on that date if the
amendments to subsection (a) made by Public Act 84-162 had been in
effect since the date of his retirement.

Sec. 16-132. Retirement annuity eligibility. A member who has at
least 20 years of creditable service is entitled to a retirement
annuity upon or after attainment of age 55. A member who has at least
10 but less than 20 years of creditable service is entitled to a
retirement annuity upon or after attainment of age 60. A member who
has at least 5 but less than 10 years of creditable service is entitled
to a retirement annuity upon or after attainment of age 62. A member
who (i) has earned during the period immediately preceding the last day
of service at least one year of contributing creditable service as an
employee of a department as defined in Section 14-103.04, (ii) has
47 [November 30. 2000]
earned at least 5 years of contributing creditable service as an
employee of a department as defined in Section 14-103.04, and (iii)
retires on or after January 1, 2001 is entitled to a retirement annuity
upon or after attainment of an age which, when added to the number of
years of his or her total creditable service, equals at least 85.
Portions of years shall be counted as decimal equivalents.
A member who is eligible to receive a retirement annuity of at
least 74.6% of final average salary and will attain age 55 on or before
December 31 during the year which commences on July 1 shall be deemed
to attain age 55 on the preceding June 1.
A member meeting the above eligibility conditions is entitled to a
retirement annuity upon written application to the board setting forth
the date the member wishes the retirement annuity to commence.
However, the effective date of the retirement annuity shall be no
earlier than the day following the last day of creditable service,
regardless of the date of official termination of employment. To be
eligible for a retirement annuity, a member shall not be employed as a
teacher in the schools included under this System or under Article 17,
unless the member is disabled (in which event, eligibility for salary
must cease), or unless the System is required by federal law to
commence payment due to the member's age; the changes to this sentence
made by this amendatory Act of 1991 shall apply without regard to
whether the member terminated employment before or after its effective
date.

Sec. 16-133. Retirement annuity; amount.
(a) The amount of the retirement annuity shall be the larger of
the amounts determined under paragraphs (A) and (B) below:
(A) An amount consisting of the sum of the following:
(1) An amount that can be provided on an actuarially
equivalent basis by the member's accumulated contributions at
the time of retirement; and
(2) The sum of (i) the amount that can be provided on an
actuarially equivalent basis by the member's accumulated
contributions representing service prior to July 1, 1947, and
(ii) the amount that can be provided on an actuarially
equivalent basis by the amount obtained by multiplying 1.4
times the member's accumulated contributions covering service
subsequent to June 30, 1947; and
(3) If there is prior service, 2 times the amount that
would have been determined under subparagraph (2) of paragraph
(A) above on account of contributions which would have been
made during the period of prior service creditable to the
member had the System been in operation and had the member
made contributions at the contribution rate in effect prior to
July 1, 1947.
(B) An amount consisting of the greater of the following:
(1) For creditable service earned before July 1, 1998
that has not been augmented under Section 16-129.1: 1.67% of
final average salary for each of the first 10 years of
creditable service, 1.90% of final average salary for each
year in excess of 10 but not exceeding 20, 2.10% of final
average salary for each year in excess of 20 but not exceeding
30, and 2.30% of final average salary for each year in excess
of 30; and
For creditable service earned on or after July 1, 1998 by
a member who has at least 24 years of creditable service on
July 1, 1998 and who does not elect to augment service under
Section 16-129.1: 2.2% of final average salary for each year
of creditable service earned on or after July 1, 1998 but
before the member reaches a total of 30 years of creditable
service and 2.3% of final average salary for each year of
creditable service earned on or after July 1, 1998 and after
the member reaches a total of 30 years of creditable service;
and
[November 30. 2000] 48
For all other creditable service: 2.2% of final average
salary for each year of creditable service; or
(2) 1.5% of final average salary for each year of
creditable service plus the sum $7.50 for each of the first 20
years of creditable service.
The amount of the retirement annuity determined under this
paragraph (B) shall be reduced by 1/2 of 1% for each month that the
member is less than age 60 at the time the retirement annuity
begins. However, this reduction shall not apply (i) if the member
has at least 35 years of creditable service, or (ii) if the member
retires on account of disability under Section 16-149.2 of this
Article with at least 20 years of creditable service, or (iii) if
the member (1) has earned during the period immediately preceding
the last day of service at least one year of contributing
creditable service as an employee of a department as defined in
Section 14-103.04, (2) has earned at least 5 years of contributing
creditable service as an employee of a department as defined in
Section 14-103.04, (3) retires on or after January 1, 2001, and (4)
retires having attained an age which, when added to the number of
years of his or her total creditable service, equals at least 85.
Portions of years shall be counted as decimal equivalents.
(b) For purposes of this Section, final average salary shall be
the average salary for the highest 4 consecutive years within the last
10 years of creditable service as determined under rules of the board.
The minimum final average salary shall be considered to be $2,400 per
year.
In the determination of final average salary for members other than
elected officials and their appointees when such appointees are allowed
by statute, that part of a member's salary for any year beginning after
June 30, 1979 which exceeds the member's annual full-time salary rate
with the same employer for the preceding year by more than 20% shall be
excluded. The exclusion shall not apply in any year in which the
member's creditable earnings are less than 50% of the preceding year's
mean salary for downstate teachers as determined by the survey of
school district salaries provided in Section 2-3.103 of the School
Code.
(c) In determining the amount of the retirement annuity under
paragraph (B) of this Section, a fractional year shall be granted
proportional credit.
(d) The retirement annuity determined under paragraph (B) of this
Section shall be available only to members who render teaching service
after July 1, 1947 for which member contributions are required, and to
annuitants who re-enter under the provisions of Section 16-150.
(e) The maximum retirement annuity provided under paragraph (B) of
this Section shall be 75% of final average salary.
(f) A member retiring after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1998 shall receive a pension equal to 75% of final average
salary if the member is qualified to receive a retirement annuity equal
to at least 74.6% of final average salary under this Article or as
proportional annuities under Article 20 of this Code.

(40 ILCS 5/16-133.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-133.1)
Sec. 16-133.1. Automatic annual increase in annuity.
(a) Each member with creditable service and retiring on or after
August 26, 1969 is entitled to the automatic annual increases in
annuity provided under this Section while receiving a retirement
annuity or disability retirement annuity from the system.
An annuitant shall first be entitled to an initial increase under
this Section on the January 1 next following the first anniversary of
retirement, or January 1 of the year next following attainment of age
61, whichever is later. At such time, the system shall pay an initial
increase determined as follows:
(1) 1.5% of the originally granted retirement annuity or
disability retirement annuity multiplied by the number of years
elapsed, if any, from the later of (1) attainment of age 55, or (2)
49 [November 30. 2000]
the date of retirement, until January 1, 1972, plus
(2) 2% of the originally granted annuity multiplied by the
number of years elapsed, if any, from the date of retirement or
between January 1, 1972, whichever is later, until and January 1,
1978, plus
(3) 3% of the originally granted annuity multiplied by the
number of years elapsed from the date of retirement or between
January 1, 1978, whichever is later, until and the effective date
of the initial increase.
However, the initial annual increase calculated under this Section for
the recipient of a disability retirement annuity granted under Section
16-149.2 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the total of all
increases in that annuity received under Section 16-149.5 (but not
exceeding 100% of the amount of the initial increase otherwise provided
under this Section).
Following the initial increase, automatic annual increases in
annuity shall be payable on each January 1 thereafter during the
lifetime of the annuitant, determined as a percentage of the originally
granted retirement annuity or disability retirement annuity for
increases granted prior to January 1, 1990, and calculated as a
percentage of the total amount of annuity, including previous increases
under this Section, for increases granted on or after January 1, 1990,
as follows: 1.5% for periods prior to January 1, 1972, 2% for periods
after December 31, 1971 and prior to January 1, 1978, and 3% for
periods after December 31, 1977.
(b) The automatic annual increases in annuity provided under this
Section shall not be applicable unless a member has made contributions
toward such increases for a period equivalent to one full year of
creditable service. If a member contributes for service performed
after August 26, 1969 but the member becomes an annuitant before such
contributions amount to one full year's contributions based on the
salary at the date of retirement, he or she may pay the necessary
balance of the contributions to the system and be eligible for the
automatic annual increases in annuity provided under this Section.
(c) Each member shall make contributions toward the cost of the
automatic annual increases in annuity as provided under Section 16-152.
(d) An annuitant receiving a retirement annuity or disability
retirement annuity on July 1, 1969, who subsequently re-enters service
as a teacher is eligible for the automatic annual increases in annuity
provided under this Section if he or she renders at least one year of
creditable service following the latest re-entry.
(e) In addition to the automatic annual increases in annuity
provided under this Section, an annuitant who meets the service
requirements of this Section and whose retirement annuity or disability
retirement annuity began on or before January 1, 1971 shall receive, on
January 1, 1981, an increase in the annuity then being paid of one
dollar per month for each year of creditable service. On January 1,
1982, an annuitant whose retirement annuity or disability retirement
annuity began on or before January 1, 1977 shall receive an increase in
the annuity then being paid of one dollar per month for each year of
creditable service.
On January 1, 1987, any annuitant whose retirement annuity began on
or before January 1, 1977, shall receive an increase in the monthly
retirement annuity equal to 8¢ per year of creditable service times the
number of years that have elapsed since the annuity began.

The foregoing message from the Senate reporting Senate Amendments
numbered 1 and 2 to HOUSE BILL 3612 was placed in the Committee on
Rules.
A message from the Senate by
Mr. Harry, Secretary:
Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives
that the Senate has adopted the following Senate Joint Resolution, in
the adoption of which I am instructed to ask the concurrence of the
House of Representatives, to-wit:
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 77
61 [November 30. 2000]
WHEREAS, On June 13, 2000, the Illinois Commerce Commission adopted
emergency rules titled "Requirements for Non-Business Entities with
Private Business Switch Service to Comply with the Emergency Telephone
System Act" (83 Ill. Adm. Code 727; 24 Ill. Reg. 8635); and
WHEREAS, The emergency rules adopted by the Commission establish
Enhanced 9-1-1 emergency telephone system requirements for schools,
local governments and not-for-profit organizations unless exempted by
the Emergency Telephone System Act; and
WHEREAS, The emergency rules were adopted by the Commission in
response to a filing prohibition voted on April 28, 2000 for rules
titled "Requirements for Businesses with Private Business Switch
Service to Comply with the Emergency Telephone System Act" (83 Ill.
Adm. Code 726; 24 Ill. Reg. 1) and withdrawn on June 13, 2000 because
the Commission modified the rulemaking to meet the objections of the
General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR)
concerning the application of the rulemaking to schools, governmental
units and not-for-profit organizations and the creation of an undue
economic and regulatory burden on business entities; and
WHEREAS, JCAR noted that the Commission's emergency rulemaking of
June 13, 2000 contained the same provisions applicable to schools,
governmental units and not-for-profit corporations that were withdrawn
by the Commission from its prior, broader rulemaking; and
WHEREAS, JCAR, during its review of the emergency rulemaking as
directed by the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, determined that
the rulemaking was contrary to statute and also constituted a serious
threat to the public interest and welfare; and
WHEREAS, JCAR based its determination that the emergency rulemaking
adopted by the Commission was contrary to legislative intent on the
fact that the Commission exceeded its statutory authority under Section
15.6 of the Emergency Telephone System Act by extending the application
of the Act to schools, local governments and not-for-profit
organizations through the emergency telephone system regulations
contained in the emergency rules; and
WHEREAS, Strict adherence to legislative intent as expressed
through statute and a concern for the well-being and welfare of
Illinois citizens, including school children, are all elements of the
JCAR review process, as directed by the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act; and
WHEREAS, Based on this determination, the Joint Committee on
Administrative Rules suspended the above cited rulemaking; and
WHEREAS, Because Section 5-125 of the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act states that a suspension of an agency's emergency
rulemaking is effective for a period of at least 180 days, the
suspension issued by JCAR commenced June 13, 2000 and will terminate on
December 9, 2000, unless continued by the adoption of this Joint
Resolution by both houses of the General Assembly as provided by
Section 5-125(c) of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING HEREIN, that
the General Assembly hereby continues the suspension issued by the
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules on June 13, 2000 of the
Illinois Commerce Commission's emergency rulemaking titled
"Requirements for Non-Business Entities with Private Business Switch
Service to Comply with the Emergency Telephone System Act" (83 Ill.
Adm. Code 727; 24 Ill. Reg. 8635); and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this preamble and resolution be forwarded
to the Executive Director of the Joint Committee on Administrative
Rules and to the Chairman and Executive Director of the Illinois
Commerce Commission.
Adopted by the Senate, November 30, 2000.

one of their number as secretary and shall elect a treasurer for the
district, who may be one of the trustees or may be any other citizen of

either real estate or personal property to be used for the purposes of
the fire protection district through contracts which provide for the
consideration for such purchase to be paid through installments to be

ordinances, and rules and regulations for the proper management and
conduct of the business of the board of trustees of the fire protection
district for carrying into effect the objects for which the district

Illinois State Scholarship Commission.
(3) The entry of an order by a circuit court establishing that any
person holding a license under this Act is subject to involuntary
admission or judicial admission as provided for in the Mental Health
and Developmental Disabilities Code, operates as an automatic
suspension of that license. That person may have his or her license

patient is no longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial
admission and the issuance of an order so finding and discharging the

possible violation may compel an individual licensed to practice under
this Act, or who has applied for licensure pursuant to this Act, to
submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, as required by and
at the expense of the Department. The examining physicians or clinical
psychologists shall be those specifically designated by the Board. The
individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense, another
physician or clinical psychologist of his or her choice present during
all aspects of this examination. Failure of any individual to submit
to a mental or physical examination, when directed, shall be grounds
for suspension of his or her license until the individual submits to
the examination if the Board finds, after notice and hearing, that the
refusal to submit to the examination was without reasonable cause.
If the Board finds an individual unable to practice because of the
reasons set forth in this Section, the Board may require that
individual to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians or
clinical psychologists approved or designated by the Board, as a
condition, term, or restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed
licensure to practice; or, in lieu of care, counseling, or treatment,
the Board may recommend to the Department to file a complaint to
immediately suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the license of the
individual. Any individual whose license was granted, continued,
reinstated, renewed, disciplined or supervised subject to such terms,
conditions, or restrictions, and who fails to comply with such terms,
conditions, or restrictions, shall be referred to the Director for a
determination as to whether the individual shall have his or her
license suspended immediately, pending a hearing by the Board.
In instances in which the Director immediately suspends a person's
license under this Section, a hearing on that person's license must be
convened by the Board within 15 days after the suspension and completed
without appreciable delay. The Board shall have the authority to review
the subject individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding
the impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal statutes
and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of medical records.
87 [November 30. 2000]
An individual licensed under this Act and affected under this
Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Board
that he or she can resume practice in compliance with acceptable and
prevailing standards under the provisions of his or her license.
