1     AN ACT to revise the law by combining multiple enactments
2 and making technical corrections.
 
3     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
 
5     Section 1. Nature of this Act.
6     (a) This Act may be cited as the First 2009 General
7 Revisory Act.
8     (b) This Act is not intended to make any substantive change
9 in the law. It reconciles conflicts that have arisen from
10 multiple amendments and enactments and makes technical
11 corrections and revisions in the law.
12     This Act revises and, where appropriate, renumbers certain
13 Sections that have been added or amended by more than one
14 Public Act. In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section
15 has been replaced with a successor law, this Act may
16 incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the
17 successor law. This Act also corrects errors, revises
18 cross-references, and deletes obsolete text.
19     (c) In this Act, the reference at the end of each amended
20 Section indicates the sources in the Session Laws of Illinois
21 that were used in the preparation of the text of that Section.
22 The text of the Section included in this Act is intended to
23 include the different versions of the Section found in the
24 Public Acts included in the list of sources, but may not

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 2 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 include other versions of the Section to be found in Public
2 Acts not included in the list of sources. The list of sources
3 is not a part of the text of the Section.
4     (d) Public Acts 95-703 through 95-1003 were considered in
5 the preparation of the combining revisories included in this
6 Act. Many of these combining revisories contain no striking or
7 underscoring because no additional changes are being made in
8 the material that is being combined.
 
9     Section 5. The Regulatory Sunset Act is amended by changing
10 Section 4.28 as follows:
 
11     (5 ILCS 80/4.28)

10     Section 10. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is
11 amended by changing Section 10-65 as follows:
 
12     (5 ILCS 100/10-65)  (from Ch. 127, par. 1010-65)
13     Sec. 10-65. Licenses.
14     (a) When any licensing is required by law to be preceded by
15 notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the provisions of this
16 Act concerning contested cases shall apply.
17     (b) When a licensee has made timely and sufficient
18 application for the renewal of a license or a new license with
19 reference to any activity of a continuing nature, the existing
20 license shall continue in full force and effect until the final
21 agency decision on the application has been made unless a later
22 date is fixed by order of a reviewing court.
23     (c) Except as provided in Section 1-17 1-27 of the
24 Department of Natural Resources Act, an application for the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 4 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 renewal of a license or a new license shall include the
2 applicant's social security number. Each agency shall require
3 the licensee to certify on the application form, under penalty
4 of perjury, that he or she is not more than 30 days delinquent
5 in complying with a child support order. Every application
6 shall state that failure to so certify shall result in
7 disciplinary action, and that making a false statement may
8 subject the licensee to contempt of court. The agency shall
9 notify each applicant or licensee who acknowledges a
10 delinquency or who, contrary to his or her certification, is
11 found to be delinquent or who after receiving notice, fails to
12 comply with a subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or a
13 child support proceeding, that the agency intends to take
14 disciplinary action. Accordingly, the agency shall provide
15 written notice of the facts or conduct upon which the agency
16 will rely to support its proposed action and the applicant or
17 licensee shall be given an opportunity for a hearing in
18 accordance with the provisions of the Act concerning contested
19 cases. Any delinquency in complying with a child support order
20 can be remedied by arranging for payment of past due and
21 current support. Any failure to comply with a subpoena or
22 warrant relating to a paternity or child support proceeding can
23 be remedied by complying with the subpoena or warrant. Upon a
24 final finding of delinquency or failure to comply with a
25 subpoena or warrant, the agency shall suspend, revoke, or
26 refuse to issue or renew the license. In cases in which the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 5 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly
2 Department of Public Aid) has previously determined that an
3 applicant or a licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the
4 payment of child support and has subsequently certified the
5 delinquency to the licensing agency, and in cases in which a
6 court has previously determined that an applicant or licensee
7 has been in violation of the Non-Support Punishment Act for
8 more than 60 days, the licensing agency shall refuse to issue
9 or renew or shall revoke or suspend that person's license based
10 solely upon the certification of delinquency made by the
11 Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly
12 Department of Public Aid) or the certification of violation
13 made by the court. Further process, hearings, or
14 redetermination of the delinquency or violation by the
15 licensing agency shall not be required. The licensing agency
16 may issue or renew a license if the licensee has arranged for
17 payment of past and current child support obligations in a
18 manner satisfactory to the Department of Healthcare and Family
19 Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) or the court. The
20 licensing agency may impose conditions, restrictions, or
21 disciplinary action upon that license.
22     (d) Except as provided in subsection (c), no agency shall
23 revoke, suspend, annul, withdraw, amend materially, or refuse
24 to renew any valid license without first giving written notice
25 to the licensee of the facts or conduct upon which the agency
26 will rely to support its proposed action and an opportunity for

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 6 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 a hearing in accordance with the provisions of this Act
2 concerning contested cases. At the hearing, the licensee shall
3 have the right to show compliance with all lawful requirements
4 for the retention, continuation, or renewal of the license. If,
5 however, the agency finds that the public interest, safety, or
6 welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and if the
7 agency incorporates a finding to that effect in its order,
8 summary suspension of a license may be ordered pending
9 proceedings for revocation or other action. Those proceedings
10 shall be promptly instituted and determined.
11     (e) Any application for renewal of a license that contains
12 required and relevant information, data, material, or
13 circumstances that were not contained in an application for the
14 existing license shall be subject to the provisions of
15 subsection (a).

22     Section 50. The Department of Public Health Powers and
23 Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
24 amended by changing Sections 2310-76 and 2310-90 as follows:
 

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 66 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     (20 ILCS 2310/2310-76)
2     Sec. 2310-76. Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
3 Promotion Task Force.
4     (a) In Illinois, as well as in other parts of the United
5 States, chronic diseases are a significant health and economic
6 problem for our citizens and State government. Chronic diseases
7 such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and
8 arthritis are largely preventable non-communicable conditions
9 associated with risk factors such as poor nutrition, physical
10 inactivity, tobacco or alcohol abuse, as well as other social
11 determinants of chronic illness. It is fully documented by
12 national and State data that significant disparity exists
13 between racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups and that the
14 incidence and impact of many of these conditions
15 disproportionately affect these populations.
16     Chronic diseases can take away a person's quality of life
17 or his or her ability to work. The Centers for Disease Control
18 and Prevention reports that 7 out of 10 Americans who die each
19 year, or more than 1.7 million people, die of a chronic
20 disease. In Illinois, studies have indicated that during the
21 study period the State has spent more than $12.5 billion in
22 health care dollars to treat chronic diseases in our State. The
23 financial burden for Illinois from the impact of lost work days
24 and lower employee productivity during the same time period
25 related to chronic diseases resulted in an annual economic loss
26 of $43.6 billion. These same studies have concluded that

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 67 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 improvements in preventing and managing chronic diseases could
2 drastically reduce future costs associated with chronic
3 disease in Illinois and that the most effective way to trim
4 healthcare spending in Illinois and across the U.S. is to take
5 measures aimed at preventing diseases before we have to treat
6 them. Furthermore, by addressing health disparities and by
7 targeting chronic disease prevention and health promotion
8 services toward the highest risk groups, especially in
9 communities where racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic factors
10 indicate high rates of these diseases, the goals of improving
11 the overall health status for all Illinois residents can be
12 achieved. Health promotion and prevention programs and
13 activities are scattered throughout a number of State agencies
14 with various streams of funding and little coordination. While
15 the State has been looking at making significant changes to
16 healthcare coverage for a portion of the population, in order
17 to have the most effective impact, any changes to the
18 healthcare delivery system in Illinois should take into
19 consideration and integrate the role of prevention and health
20 promotion in that system.
21     (b) Subject to appropriation, within 6 months after the
22 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General
23 Assembly, a Task Force on Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
24 Promotion shall be convened to study and make recommendations
25 regarding the structure of the chronic disease prevention and
26 health promotion system in Illinois, as well as changes that

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 68 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 should be made to the system in order to integrate and
2 coordinate efforts in the State and ensure continuity and
3 consistency of purpose and the elimination of disparity in the
4 delivery of this care in Illinois.
5     (c) The Department of Public Health shall have primary
6 responsibility for, and shall provide staffing and technical
7 and administrative support for the Task Force in its efforts.
8 The other State agencies represented on the Task Force shall
9 work cooperatively with the Department of Public Health to
10 provide administrative and technical support to the Task Force
11 in its efforts. Membership of the Task Force shall consist of
12 18 members as follows: the Director of Public Health, who shall
13 serve as Chair; the Secretary of Human Services or his or her
14 designee; the Director of Aging or his or her designee; the
15 Director of Healthcare and Family Services or his or her
16 designee; 4 members of the General Assembly, one from the State
17 Senate appointed by the President of the Senate, one from the
18 State Senate appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate,
19 one from the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker
20 of the House, and one from the House of Representatives
21 appointed by the Minority Leader of the House; and 10 members
22 appointed by the Director of Public Health and who shall be
23 representative of State associations and advocacy
24 organizations with a primary focus that includes chronic
25 disease prevention, public health delivery, medicine, health
26 care and disease management, or community health.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 69 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     (d) The Task Force shall seek input from interested parties
2 and shall hold a minimum of 3 public hearings across the State,
3 including one in northern Illinois, one in central Illinois,
4 and one in southern Illinois.
5     (e) On or before July 1, 2010, the Task Force shall, at a
6 minimum, make recommendations to the Director of Public Health
7 on the following: reforming the delivery system for chronic
8 disease prevention and health promotion in Illinois; ensuring
9 adequate funding for infrastructure and delivery of programs;
10 addressing health disparity; and the role of health promotion
11 and chronic disease prevention in support of State spending on
12 health care.

4 chief judge of the circuit where the person had been convicted,
5 any judge of the circuit designated by the Chief Judge, or in
6 counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding
7 trial judge at the defendant's trial, may have a court order

13 obliterated from the official index requested to be kept by the
14 circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts
15 Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for the
16 offense for which he had been pardoned but the order shall not
17 affect any index issued by the circuit court clerk before the

19 disseminated by the Department only as required by law or to
20 the arresting authority, the State's Attorney, and the court
21 upon a later arrest for the same or similar offense or for the
22 purpose of sentencing for any subsequent felony. Upon

7 may request that the State's Attorney of the county in which
8 the conviction occurred file a verified petition with the
9 presiding trial judge at the defendant's trial to have a court
10 order entered to seal the records of the clerk of the circuit
11 court in connection with the proceedings of the trial court
12 concerning that offense. However, the records of the arresting
13 authority and the Department of State Police concerning the
14 offense shall not be sealed. The court, upon good cause shown,
15 shall make the records of the clerk of the circuit court in
16 connection with the proceedings of the trial court concerning
17 the offense available for public inspection.
18     (c-6) If a conviction has been set aside on direct review
19 or on collateral attack and the court determines by clear and
20 convincing evidence that the defendant was factually innocent
21 of the charge, the court shall enter an expungement order as
22 provided in subsection (b) of Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code
23 of Corrections.
24     (d) Notice of the petition for subsections (a), (b), and

13 admitted to probation upon terms and conditions and who
14 fulfills those terms and conditions pursuant to Section 10 of
15 the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
16 Controlled Substances Act, Section 70 of the Methamphetamine

5 and renumbering multiple versions of Section 507PP as follows:
 
6     (35 ILCS 5/203)  (from Ch. 120, par. 2-203)
7     Sec. 203. Base income defined.
8     (a) Individuals.
9         (1) In general. In the case of an individual, base
10     income means an amount equal to the taxpayer's adjusted
11     gross income for the taxable year as modified by paragraph
12     (2).
13         (2) Modifications. The adjusted gross income referred
14     to in paragraph (1) shall be modified by adding thereto the
15     sum of the following amounts:
16             (A) An amount equal to all amounts paid or accrued
17         to the taxpayer as interest or dividends during the
18         taxable year to the extent excluded from gross income
19         in the computation of adjusted gross income, except
20         stock dividends of qualified public utilities
21         described in Section 305(e) of the Internal Revenue
22         Code;
23             (B) An amount equal to the amount of tax imposed by
24         this Act to the extent deducted from gross income in

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 93 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         the computation of adjusted gross income for the

7         for which a deduction was previously taken under
8         subparagraph (L) of this paragraph (2) prior to July 1,
9         1991, the retrospective application date of Article 4
10         of Public Act 87-17. In the case of multi-unit or

13         portion of the total taxes for the entire property
14         which is attributable to such principal residence;
15             (D) An amount equal to the amount of the capital
16         gain deduction allowable under the Internal Revenue
17         Code, to the extent deducted from gross income in the

SB1549 Engrossed - 94 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             (D-10) For taxable years ending after December 31,
2         1997, an amount equal to any eligible remediation costs
3         that the individual deducted in computing adjusted
4         gross income and for which the individual claims a
5         credit under subsection (l) of Section 201;
6             (D-15) For taxable years 2001 and thereafter, an
7         amount equal to the bonus depreciation deduction taken
8         on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the
9         taxable year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the
10         Internal Revenue Code;
11             (D-16) If the taxpayer sells, transfers, abandons,
12         or otherwise disposes of property for which the
13         taxpayer was required in any taxable year to make an
14         addition modification under subparagraph (D-15), then
15         an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
16         deductions taken in all taxable years under
17         subparagraph (Z) with respect to that property.
18             If the taxpayer continues to own property through
19         the last day of the last tax year for which the
20         taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for
21         federal income tax purposes and for which the taxpayer
22         was allowed in any taxable year to make a subtraction
23         modification under subparagraph (Z), then an amount
24         equal to that subtraction modification.
25             The taxpayer is required to make the addition
26         modification under this subparagraph only once with

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 95 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         respect to any one piece of property;
2             (D-17) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
3         allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
4         interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5         indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
6         December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
7         member of the same unitary business group but for the
8         fact that foreign person's business activity outside
9         the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
10         person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
11         years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
12         who would be a member of the same unitary business
13         group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
14         under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
15         unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
16         required to apportion business income under different
17         subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
18         required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
19         extent that dividends were included in base income of
20         the unitary group for the same taxable year and
21         received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
22         taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
23         included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
24         of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
25         gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
26         Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 96 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
2             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
3                 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
4             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
5             is subject in a foreign country or state, other
6             than a state which requires mandatory unitary
7             reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
8             with respect to such interest; or
9                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
10             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
11             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
12             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13             following:
14                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
15                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16                 to a person that is not a related member, and
17                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
18                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
19                 person did not have as a principal purpose the
20                 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
21                 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
22                 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
23                 terms; or
24                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
25             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
26             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 97 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
2             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
3             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
4                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
6             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7             evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
8             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
9             to the application or use of an alternative method
10             of apportionment under Section 304(f).
11                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12             Director from making any other adjustment
13             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17             and such regulations provide methods and standards
18             by which the Department will utilize its authority
19             under Section 404 of this Act;
20             (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
21         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
22         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
23         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
24         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
25         foreign person who would be a member of the same
26         unitary business group but for the fact that the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 98 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         foreign person's business activity outside the United
2         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
3         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
4         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
5         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
6         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
7         from being included in the unitary business group
8         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
9         business income under different subsections of Section
10         304. The addition modification required by this
11         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
12         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
13         group for the same taxable year and received by the
14         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
15         business group (including amounts included in gross
16         income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
17         Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
18         Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
19         to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
20         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
21         incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
22         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
23         reduction to the addition modification required under
24         Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
25         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
26         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 99 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
2         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
3         or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
4         losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
5         factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
6         (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
7         (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
8         costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
9         property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
10         names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
11         works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
12         assets.
13             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
14                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
15             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
16             indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
17             subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
18             state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
19             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
20             to such item; or
21                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
22             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
24             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
25             following:
26                     (a) the person during the same taxable

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 100 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
2                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
3                 not a related member, and
4                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
5                 intangible expense or cost between the
6                 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
7                 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
8                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
9                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
10                 or
11                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
12             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
13             indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
14             taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
16             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
17             writing to the application or use of an alternative
18             method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
19                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20             Director from making any other adjustment
21             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
22             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
23             this amendment provided such adjustment is made

25             and such regulations provide methods and standards
26             by which the Department will utilize its authority

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 101 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             under Section 404 of this Act;
2             (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
3         December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
4         insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
5         as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
6         paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
7         a person who would be a member of the same unitary
8         business group but for the fact that the person is
9         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
10         included in the unitary business group because he or
11         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
12         income under different subsections of Section 304. The
13         addition modification required by this subparagraph

11         years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
12         who would be a member of the same unitary business
13         group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
14         under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
15         unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
16         required to apportion business income under different
17         subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
18         required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
19         extent that dividends were included in base income of

6             is subject in a foreign country or state, other
7             than a state which requires mandatory unitary
8             reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
9             with respect to such interest; or
10                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
12             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
13             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
14             following:
15                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
16                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
17                 to a person that is not a related member, and
18                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
20                 person did not have as a principal purpose the
21                 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
22                 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
23                 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
24                 terms; or
25                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
26             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 122 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
2             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
3             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
4             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
5                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
8             evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
9             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
10             to the application or use of an alternative method
11             of apportionment under Section 304(f).
12                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13             Director from making any other adjustment
14             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
15             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
16             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
17             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
18             and such regulations provide methods and standards
19             by which the Department will utilize its authority
20             under Section 404 of this Act;
21             (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
22         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
23         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
24         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
25         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
26         foreign person who would be a member of the same

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 123 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         unitary business group but for the fact that the
2         foreign person's business activity outside the United
3         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
4         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
5         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
6         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
7         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
8         from being included in the unitary business group
9         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10         business income under different subsections of Section
11         304. The addition modification required by this
12         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
14         group for the same taxable year and received by the
15         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
16         business group (including amounts included in gross
17         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
18         Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
19         income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
20         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
21         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
22         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
23         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25         modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
26         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

1         "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
2         losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
3         indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
4         ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

6         indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
7         transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
8         copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
9         similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
10         subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
11         patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
12         marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
13         similar types of intangible assets.
14             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
15                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
16             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17             indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
18             subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
19             state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
20             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
21             to such item; or
22                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
25             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
26             following:

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 125 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1                     (a) the person during the same taxable
2                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
3                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
4                 not a related member, and
5                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6                 intangible expense or cost between the
7                 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
8                 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
9                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
10                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
11                 or
12                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14             indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
15             taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
16             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
17             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
18             writing to the application or use of an alternative
19             method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
20                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
21             Director from making any other adjustment
22             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
23             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
24             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
25             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
26             and such regulations provide methods and standards

2             under Section 404 of this Act;
3             (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
4         December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
5         insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
6         as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
7         paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
8         a person who would be a member of the same unitary
9         business group but for the fact that the person is
10         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
11         included in the unitary business group because he or
12         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
13         income under different subsections of Section 304. The
14         addition modification required by this subparagraph
15         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

17         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
18         member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
19         (including amounts included in gross income under

23         of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
24         directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
25         preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that

9                 terms; or
10                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
11             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
12             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
13             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
14             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
15             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
16                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

20             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
21             to the application or use of an alternative method
22             of apportionment under Section 304(f).

5             under Section 404 of this Act;

10         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
11         foreign person who would be a member of the same
12         unitary business group but for the fact that the
13         foreign person's business activity outside the United
14         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
15         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
16         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

18         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
19         from being included in the unitary business group
20         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
21         business income under different subsections of Section
22         304. The addition modification required by this
23         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
24         dividends were included in base income of the unitary

5         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
6         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
7         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
8         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
9         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
10         modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
11         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
12         "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
13         expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
14         direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
15         management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
16         disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
17         incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
18         transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
19         patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing

21         purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
22         includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
23         trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
24         trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
25             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

5             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
6             to such item; or
7                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
8             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
10             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11             following:
12                     (a) the person during the same taxable
13                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
14                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
15                 not a related member, and
16                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17                 intangible expense or cost between the

1             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
2             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
3             writing to the application or use of an alternative
4             method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
5                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6             Director from making any other adjustment
7             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11             and such regulations provide methods and standards
12             by which the Department will utilize its authority
13             under Section 404 of this Act;
14             (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
15         December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
16         insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
17         as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
18         paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
19         a person who would be a member of the same unitary
20         business group but for the fact that the person is
21         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
22         included in the unitary business group because he or
23         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
24         income under different subsections of Section 304. The
25         addition modification required by this subparagraph
26         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 149 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         included in base income of the unitary group for the
2         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
3         member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
4         (including amounts included in gross income under
5         Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
6         and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
7         of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
8         of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
9         directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
10         preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
11         the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
12         modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
13         Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act.
14     and by deducting from the total so obtained the sum of the
15     following amounts:
16             (H) An amount equal to all amounts included in such
17         total pursuant to the provisions of Sections 402(a),
18         402(c), 403(a), 403(b), 406(a), 407(a) and 408 of the
19         Internal Revenue Code or included in such total as
20         distributions under the provisions of any retirement
21         or disability plan for employees of any governmental
22         agency or unit, or retirement payments to retired
23         partners, which payments are excluded in computing net
24         earnings from self employment by Section 1402 of the
25         Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted pursuant
26         thereto;

7         (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) which are exempt from
8         taxation by this State either by reason of its statutes
9         or Constitution or by reason of the Constitution,
10         treaties or statutes of the United States; provided
11         that, in the case of any statute of this State that
12         exempts income derived from bonds or other obligations
13         from the tax imposed under this Act, the amount
14         exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
15         amortization;
16             (L) With the exception of any amounts subtracted
17         under subparagraph (K), an amount equal to the sum of
18         all amounts disallowed as deductions by (i) Sections
19         171(a) (2) and 265(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,
20         as now or hereafter amended, and all amounts of
21         expenses allocable to interest and disallowed as
22         deductions by Section 265(1) of the Internal Revenue
23         Code of 1954, as now or hereafter amended; and (ii) for
24         taxable years ending on or after August 13, 1999,

2         such assets after their recovery and who is a victim of
3         persecution for racial or religious reasons by Nazi
4         Germany or any other Axis regime or as an heir of the
5         victim. The amount of and the eligibility for any

5                 depreciation deduction of 30% of the adjusted

7                 30 and then divided by 70 (or "y" multiplied by
8                 0.429); and
9                     (ii) for property on which a bonus
10                 depreciation deduction of 50% of the adjusted

24             with respect to such interest; or
25                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
26             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 161 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
2             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
3             following:
4                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
5                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
6                 to a person that is not a related member, and
7                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
8                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
9                 person did not have as a principal purpose the
10                 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
11                 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
12                 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
13                 terms; or
14                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
15             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
16             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
17             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
18             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
19             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
20                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
21             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
22             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
23             evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
24             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
25             to the application or use of an alternative method
26             of apportionment under Section 304(f).

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 162 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2             Director from making any other adjustment
3             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
4             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
5             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
6             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
7             and such regulations provide methods and standards
8             by which the Department will utilize its authority
9             under Section 404 of this Act; and
10             (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
11         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
12         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
13         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
14         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
15         foreign person who would be a member of the same
16         unitary business group but for the fact that the
17         foreign person's business activity outside the United
18         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
19         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
20         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
21         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
22         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
23         from being included in the unitary business group
24         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
25         business income under different subsections of Section
26         304. The addition modification required by this

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 163 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
2         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
3         group for the same taxable year and received by the
4         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary

SB1549 Engrossed - 214 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 this Section prior to that date.
2     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
3 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
4 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
5 limits of the municipality where:
6         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
7     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
8     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
9     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
10     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
11     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
12     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
13     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
14     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
15             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
16         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
17         structural components of buildings or improvements in
18         such a combination that a documented building
19         condition analysis determines that major repair is
20         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
21         that the buildings must be removed.
22             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
23         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
24         for the original use.

3         With respect to surface improvements, that the
4         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
5         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
6         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
7         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
8         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
9         protruding through paved surfaces.
10             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
11         standards. All structures that do not meet the
12         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
13         other governmental codes applicable to property, but
14         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
15             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
16         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
17         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to

20             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
21         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
22         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
23         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.

25         facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
26         light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 216 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
2         gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
3         Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
4         absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
5         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
6         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
7         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
8         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
9         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
10         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
11         units within a building.
12             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
13         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
14         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
15         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
16         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
17         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
18         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
19         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
20         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
21             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
22         structures and community facilities. The
23         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
24         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
25         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
26         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 217 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
2         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
3         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
4         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
5         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
6         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
7         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
8         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
9         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
10         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
11         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
12         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
13         inadequate provision for loading and service.
14             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
15         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
16         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
17         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
18         the surrounding area.
19             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
20         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
21         Environmental Protection Agency or United States
22         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
23         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
24         recognized as having expertise in environmental
25         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
26         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 218 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
2         provided that the remediation costs constitute a
3         material impediment to the development or
4         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
5             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
6         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
7         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
8         This means that the development occurred prior to the
9         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
10         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
11         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
12         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
13         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
14         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
15         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
16         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
17         community planning.
18             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
19         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
20         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
21         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
22         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
23         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
24         calendar years for which information is available or is
25         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
26         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published

2         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
3         year in which the redevelopment project area is
4         designated.
5         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
6     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
7     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
8     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
9     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
10     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
11     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
12     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
13             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
14         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
15         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
16         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
17         compatible with contemporary standards and
18         requirements, or platting that failed to create
19         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
20         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
21         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
22         for public utilities.
23             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
24         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
25         ability to assemble the land for development.
26             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 220 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
2         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
3             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
4         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
5         vacant land.
6             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
7         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
8         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
9         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
10         having expertise in environmental remediation has
11         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
12         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
13         required by State or federal law, provided that the
14         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
15         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
16         project area.
17             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
18         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
19         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
20         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
21         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
22         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
23         calendar years for which information is available or is
24         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
25         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published

1         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
2         year in which the redevelopment project area is
3         designated.
4         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
5     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
6     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
7     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
8     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
9     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
10     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
11     it pertains:
12             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
13         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
14             (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
15         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
16             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
17         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
18         property in the area as certified by a registered
19         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
20         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
21         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
22         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
23         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute

3             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
4         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
5         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
6         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
7         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
8         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized
9         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
10         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
11         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
12         and the area has not been developed for that designated
13         purpose.
14             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
15         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
16         been substantial private investment in the immediately
17         surrounding area.
18     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
19 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
20 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
21 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
22 in this Section prior to that date.
23     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
24 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
25 project area located within the territorial limits of the
26 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 223 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
2 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
3 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
4 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
5         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
6     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
7     components of buildings or improvements in such a
8     combination that a documented building condition analysis
9     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
10     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
11     removed.
12         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
13     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
14     original use.
15         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
16     including, but not limited to, major defects in the
17     secondary building components such as doors, windows,

20     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
21     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
22     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
23     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
24     through paved surfaces.
25         (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
26     standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 224 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
2     governmental codes applicable to property, but not
3     including housing and property maintenance codes.
4         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
5     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or

7     of structures below minimum code standards.
8         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
9     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
10     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
11     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
12         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
13     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
14     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
15     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
16     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
17     and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
18     skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
19     improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
20     area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
21     absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,

11     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
12     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
13     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
14     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
15     standards of development for health and safety and the
16     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
17     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
18     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
19     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
20     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
21     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
22     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of

3     area.
4         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
5     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
6     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
7     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
8     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
9     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
10     area's development. This factor must be documented by
11     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
12     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
13     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
14     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
15     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
16         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
17     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
18     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
19     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
20     having expertise in environmental remediation has
21     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
22     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
23     required by State or federal law, provided that the
24     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
25     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
26     area.

12 in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax
13 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
14 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised

16 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
17 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
18 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
19 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
20 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
21 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
22 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
23 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service

8 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
9 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
10 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
11 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
12 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
13 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
14 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
15 case may be.

20 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
21 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
22 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually

9 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any
10 distribution to any other municipality and regardless of
11 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
12 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and

8 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
9 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
10 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
11 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
12 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
13 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
14 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
15 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
16 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
17 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
18 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
19 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
20 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
21 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
22 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
23 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
24 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.

4 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
5 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
6 than residential customers, of properties within the
7 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
8 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
9 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
10 financing.
11     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
12 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
13 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
14 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
15 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
16 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
17 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
18 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal
19 Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for
20 any municipality that has not entered into a contract or has
21 not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment
22 project costs within a redevelopment project area, the Net
23 State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
24 multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the
25 State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70%
26 in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year

4 No payment shall be made for the State Fiscal Year 2008 and
5 thereafter.
6     Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the
7 redevelopment project during the period from June 1, 1988 until
8 3 years after the effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1988
9 shall receive the Net State Utility Tax Increment, subject to
10 appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the issuance of
11 such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years
12 after issuance of the bonds, the Net State Utility Tax
13 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
14 Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year 16; 80% in year
15 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in year 20.

25 derived from real property that has been acquired by a
26 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 236 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
2 would have received had a municipality not acquired the real
3 property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
4 which would result from levies made after the time of the
5 adoption of tax increment allocation financing to the time the
6 current equalized value of real property in the redevelopment
7 project area exceeds the total initial equalized value of real
8 property in said area.
9     (n) "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program
10 of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended
11 by the payment of redevelopment project costs to reduce or
12 eliminate those conditions the existence of which qualified the
13 redevelopment project area as a "blighted area" or

15 conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the
16 taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment project
17 area. On and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
18 Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan may be approved or
19 amended that includes the development of vacant land (i) with a

10     services from any taxing district affected by the plan and
11     any program to address such financial impact or increased
12     demand;
13         (D) the sources of funds to pay costs;

11 subsection (k) of Section 11-74.4-4, a time and place for a
12 public hearing as required by subsection (a) of Section
13 11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
14 municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
15         (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
16     project area on the whole has not been subject to growth
17     and development through investment by private enterprise
18     and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed
19     without the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
20         (2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan
21     and project conform to the comprehensive plan for the
22     development of the municipality as a whole, or, for
23     municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more,
24     regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
25     adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)
26     conforms to the strategic economic development or

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 239 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning
2     authority of the municipality, or (ii) includes land uses
3     that have been approved by the planning commission of the
4     municipality.
5         (3) The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated
6     dates of completion of the redevelopment project and
7     retirement of obligations issued to finance redevelopment
8     project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates
9     set forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5., or (DDD) (EEE), or
10     (FFF), or (GGG), or (HHH), or (III), or (JJJ), (KKK), (LLL)
11     (MMM), or (NNN) if the ordinance was adopted on December
12     23, 1986 by the Village of Libertyville.
13         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
14     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
15     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
16     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
17     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
18     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
19     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
20     redevelopment project area.
21         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
22     industrial park conservation area, also that the
23     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
24     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
25     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
26     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 240 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
2         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
3     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
4     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after

6     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
7     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
8     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
9     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
10     area.
11         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
12     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
13     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
14     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
15     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
16     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
17     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
18     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
19     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
20     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
21     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
22     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
23         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
24     data as to whether the residential units are single family
25     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
26     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)

2     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
3     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
4     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
5     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
6     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
7     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
8     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
9     data from the most recent federal census.
10         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
11     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
12     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
13     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
14     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
15     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
16     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
17     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
18     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
19     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
20     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
21     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
22     relocation assistance to be provided.
23         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
24     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
25     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
26         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment

1     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
2     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
3     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
4     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
5     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
6     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
7     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
8     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
9     less than that which would be provided under the federal
10     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
11     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
12     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
13     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
14     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
15     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
16     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
17     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
18     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is

22     and that is not intended to replace an existing public
23     building as provided under paragraph (3) of subsection (q)
24     of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the construction of

SB1549 Engrossed - 247 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     adopted by the municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or

1         Any school district seeking payment under this
2         paragraph (7.5) shall, after July 1 and before
3         September 30 of each year, provide the municipality
4         with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
5         reimbursement before the municipality shall be
6         required to approve or make the payment to the school
7         district. If the school district fails to provide the
8         information during this period in any year, it shall
9         forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
10         School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
11         right to all or a portion of the reimbursement
12         otherwise required by this paragraph (7.5). By
13         acceptance of this reimbursement the school district
14         waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside,

3     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
4     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
5     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
6     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
7     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
8     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
9     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
10     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
11     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
12     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
13     referendum.
14         The amount paid to a library district under this
15     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
16     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
17     library card in that district who reside in housing units
18     within the redevelopment project area that have received
19     financial assistance through an agreement with the

4     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
5     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
6     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
7     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
8     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
9     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
10     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
11         A library district is not eligible for any payment
12     under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
13     experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
14     municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
15     district since the designation of the redevelopment
16     project area.
17         Any library district seeking payment under this
18     paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
19     of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
20     evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
21     municipality shall be required to approve or make the
22     payment to the library district. If the library district
23     fails to provide the information during this period in any
24     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
25     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
26     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise

3     right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
4     contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
5     redevelopment project area or projects;
6         (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality

5     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
6     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,
7     3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by
8     school districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a
9     and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
10         (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related to
11     the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a

15         this Act;
16             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
17         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
18         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
19         during that year;
20             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
21         the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
22         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due

5         to this Act; and
6             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
7         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
8         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
9         low-income households and very low-income households,
10         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
11         Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
12         for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
13             (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by
14         subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
15         modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
16         other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
17         municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
18         50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
19         be occupied by low-income households and very
20         low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
21         Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
22         construction of those units may be derived from the
23         proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
24         Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
25         from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
26         reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds

5         cost for the construction, renovation, and
6         rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
7         units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
8         Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment
9         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
10         part of a residential redevelopment project that
11         includes units not affordable to low and very
12         low-income households, only the low and very
13         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
14         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
15         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
16         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
17         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
18         constructed with eligible costs made available under
19         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
20         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
21         municipality. The responsibility for annually
22         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
23         low-income households and very low-income households,
24         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
25         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
26         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 259 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
2         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
3         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
4         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
5         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
6         very low-income households. As units become available,
7         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
8         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
9         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for

4 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
5 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
6 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
7 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the

10 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
11 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised

19     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
20 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
21 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
22 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
23 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
24 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
25 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 276 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
2 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
3 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
4 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
5 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
6 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
7 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
8 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
9 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
10 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
11 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
12 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
13 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
14 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation
15 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
16 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
17 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
18 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
19 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
20 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
21 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
22 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
23 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
24 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
25 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
26 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 277 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
2 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
3 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
4 received from that source. The County Collector shall
5 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
6 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
7 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
8 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
9 project area.
10     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
11 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
12 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
13 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
14 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
15 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
16 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
17 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
18 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
19 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
20 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
21     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
22 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
23 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
24 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
25 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
26 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 278 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
2 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
3 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
4 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
5 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
6 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
7 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
8 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
9 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
10     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
11 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
12 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
13 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
14 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
15 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
16 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
17 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
18 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
19 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
20 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
21 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
22 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
23 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
24 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
25 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
26 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 279 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 to any individual requesting one.
2     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
3 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
4 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
5 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
6 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
7 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
8 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
9 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
10 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
11 pledging taxes for the payment of such obligations, or both, be
12 submitted to the electors of the municipality, the corporate
13 authorities of the municipality shall call a special election
14 in the manner provided by law to vote upon that question, or,
15 if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
16 a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date
17 such petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
18 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
19 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
20 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
21 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
22 the electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof,
23 the ordinance shall not take effect.
24     The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
25 the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
26 pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 280 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
2 issuance.
3     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
4 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
5 and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
6 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
7 annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
8 sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
9 it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
10 the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
11 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
12 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
13 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
14 said monies available to the county clerk.
15     A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
16 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
17 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
18 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
19 in the special tax allocation fund.
20     A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
21 whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
22 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
23 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
24 the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set
25 forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5. DDD (EEE) (FFF) (GGG), (HHH)
26 (III)(JJJ) (KKK) (LLL) (MMM), or (NNN) if the ordinance was

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 281 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 adopted on December 23, 1986 by the Village of Libertyville
2     In the event a municipality issues obligations under home
3 rule powers or other legislative authority the proceeds of
4 which are pledged to pay for redevelopment project costs, the
5 municipality may, if it has followed the procedures in
6 conformance with this division, retire said obligations from
7 funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such
8 manner as if such obligations had been issued pursuant to the
9 provisions of this division.
10     All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to
11 this Act shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
12 municipality issuing such obligations or any other taxing
13 district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.

3     Section 125. The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is amended
4 by changing Sections 8 and 15 as follows:
 
5     (70 ILCS 2405/8)  (from Ch. 42, par. 307)
6     Sec. 8. (a) The sanitary district may acquire by purchase,
7 condemnation, or otherwise all real and personal property,
8 right of way and privilege, either within or without its
9 corporate limits that may be required for its corporate
10 purposes. If real property is acquired by condemnation, the
11 sanitary district may not sell or lease any portion of the
12 property for a period of 10 years after acquisition by
13 condemnation is completed. If, after such 10-year period, the
14 sanitary district decides to sell or lease the property, it
15 must first offer the property for sale or lease to the previous
16 owner of the land from whom the sanitary district acquired the
17 property. If the sanitary district and such previous owner do
18 not execute a contract for purchase or lease of the property
19 within 60 days from the initial offer, the sanitary district
20 then may offer the property for sale or lease to any other
21 person. If any district formed under this Act is unable to
22 agree with any other sanitary district upon the terms whereby
23 it shall be permitted to use the drains, channels or ditches of
24 such other sanitary district, the right to such use may be

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 292 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 acquired by condemnation in any circuit court by proceedings as
2 provided in Section 4-17 of the Illinois Drainage Code. The
3 compensation to be paid for such use may be a gross sum, or it
4 may be in the form of an annual rental, to be paid in yearly
5 installments as provided by the judgment of the court wherein
6 such proceedings may be had. However, when such compensation is
7 fixed at a gross sum all moneys for the purchase and
8 condemnation of any property shall be paid before possession is
9 taken or any work done on the premises damaged by the
10 construction of such channel or outlet, and in case of an
11 appeal from the circuit court taken by either party whereby the
12 amount of damages is not finally determined, then possession
13 may be taken, if the amount of judgment in such court is
14 deposited at some bank or savings and loan association to be
15 designated by the court, subject to the payment of such damages
16 on orders signed by the circuit court, whenever the amount of
17 damages is finally determined. The sanitary district may sell,
18 convey, vacate and release the real or personal property, right
19 of way and privileges acquired by it when no longer required
20 for the purposes of the district.
21     (b) A sanitary district may exercise its powers of eminent
22 domain to acquire a public utility only if the Illinois
23 Commerce Commission, following petition by the sanitary
24 district, has granted approval for the sanitary district to
25 proceed in accordance with the Eminent Domain Act Article VII
26 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The following procedures must

1 be followed when a sanitary district exercises its power of
2 eminent domain to acquire a public utility.
3         (1) The sanitary district shall petition the
4     Commission for approval of the acquisition of a public
5     utility by the exercise of eminent domain powers. The
6     petition filed by the sanitary district shall state the
7     following:
8             (A) the caption of the case;
9             (B) the date of the filing of the application;
10             (C) the name and address of the condemnee;
11             (D) the name and address of the condemnor;
12             (E) a specific reference to the statute under which
13         the condemnation action is authorized;
14             (F) a specific reference to the action, whether by
15         ordinance, resolution, or otherwise, by which the
16         declaration of taking was authorized, including the
17         date when such action was taken, and the place where
18         the record may be examined;
19             (G) a description of the purpose of the
20         condemnation;
21             (H) a reasonable description of the property to be
22         condemned;
23             (I) a statement of how just compensation will be
24         made;
25             (J) a statement that, if the condemnee wishes to

1         objections within 45 days after its receipt of the
2         notice.
3         (2) Within 30 days after the filing of a petition by
4     the sanitary district of its intent to acquire by eminent
5     domain all real and personal property, rights of way, and
6     privileges of a public utility, the sanitary district shall
7     serve a copy of the petition on the public utility and
8     shall publish a notice of the filing of the petition in a
9     newspaper of general circulation in the area served by the
10     sanitary district. The sanitary district shall file a
11     certificate of publication with the Commission as proof of
12     publication.
13         (3) Within 45 days after being served with the notice
14     required by this Section, the condemnee may file objections
15     to the petition with the Commission. All objections shall
16     state specifically the grounds relied upon. All objections
17     shall be raised at one time and in one document. The
18     condemnee shall serve a copy of the objections upon the
19     condemnor within 72 hours after the objections are filed
20     with the Commission.
21         (4) The Commission shall make a determination
22     regarding the petition and any objections to the petition
23     and shall make such orders and decrees as justice and law
24     shall require. The Commission may take evidence by
25     deposition or otherwise and shall entertain oral argument
26     on all objections. The Commission shall make its

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 295 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     determination within 105 days after its receipt of the
2     objections of the condemnee, unless the Commission, in its
3     discretion, extends the determination period for a further
4     period not exceeding 6 months.
5     (c) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall approve the
6 taking of any property by a sanitary district under subsection
7 (b), within or outside its boundaries, if it is in the public
8 interest. The taking shall be considered to be in the public
9 interest if the sanitary district establishes by a
10 preponderance of the evidence:
11         (1) that the sanitary district has been in existence as
12     the operator of a wastewater system for at least 20 years;
13         (2) that it will provide wastewater treatment service
14     within the proposed area subject to condemnation at the
15     same level of wastewater treatment service provided
16     throughout the district;
17         (3) that it will provide the wastewater collection,
18     treatment, and disposal at the same or less operational and
19     maintenance volumetric or bulk rate as the public utility
20     whose property is subject to condemnation; and
21         (4) that it is not financially impractical for the
22     public utility to serve its remaining customers who are not
23     in the area subject to condemnation.

1     Sec. 15. Whenever the board of trustees of any sanitary
2 district shall pass an ordinance for the making of any
3 improvement which such district is authorized to make, the
4 making of which will require that private property should be
5 taken or damaged, such district may cause compensation therefor

10 of Civil Procedure, and all amendments thereto: Provided,
11 however, that (i) proceedings to ascertain the compensation to
12 be paid for taking or damaging private property shall in all
13 cases be instituted in the county where the property sought to
14 be taken or damaged is situated, and (ii) : And, provided, that
15 all damages to property, whether determined by agreement or by
16 final judgment of court, shall be paid, prior to the payment of
17 any other debt or obligation.

6 or as authorized by subsections (b) and (c) of Section 46 of
7 the Environmental Protection Act, is hereby empowered to pass

11 including strength and volume, and including the right of
12 access during reasonable hours to the premises of a person for
13 enforcement of adopted ordinances, rules, or regulations.
14     (c) Whenever the sanitary district acting through the
15 executive director determines that sewage, industrial wastes,
16 or other wastes are being discharged into the sewerage system
17 and when, in the opinion of the executive director the
18 discharge is in violation of an ordinance, rules, or
19 regulations adopted by the Board of Commissioners under this
20 Section governing industrial wastes or other wastes, the
21 executive director shall order the offending party to cease and
22 desist. The order shall be served by certified mail or

21 of Commissioners may also order the party responsible for the
22 violation to pay court reporter costs and hearing officer fees
23 in a total amount not exceeding $3,000.
24     (d) The Board of Commissioners shall establish procedures
25 for assessing civil penalties and issuing orders under
26 subsection (c) as follows:

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 300 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         (1) In making its orders and determinations, the Board

3     facts and circumstances bearing on the activities involved
4     and the assessment of civil penalties as shown by the
5     record produced at the hearing.

12     procedural rules governing the proceedings, the assessment
13     of civil penalties, and the issuance of orders.
14         (4) All hearings shall be on the record, and testimony
15     taken must be under oath and recorded stenographically.
16     Transcripts so recorded must be made available to any
17     member of the public or any party to the hearing upon
18     payment of the usual charges for transcripts. At the
19     hearing, the hearing officer may issue, in the name of the
20     Board of Commissioners, notices of hearing requesting the
21     attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of
22     evidence relevant to any matter involved in the hearing and
23     may examine witnesses.
24         (5) The hearing officer shall conduct a full and
25     impartial hearing on the record, with an opportunity for
26     the presentation of evidence and cross-examination of the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 301 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     witnesses. The hearing officer shall issue findings of
2     fact, conclusions of law, a recommended civil penalty, and
3     an order based solely on the record. The hearing officer
4     may also recommend, as part of the order, that the
5     discharge of industrial waste be discontinued within a
6     specified time.
7         (6) The findings of fact, conclusions of law,

9     to the Board of Commissioners along with a complete record
10     of the hearing.
11         (7) The Board of Commissioners shall either approve or

20         (8) (Blank).

22     Commissioners shall be paid within 35 days after the party
23     on whom it is imposed receives a written copy of the order
24     of the Board of Commissioners, unless the person or persons
25     to whom the order is issued seeks judicial review under
26     paragraph (8).

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 302 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         (10) If the respondent seeks judicial review of the
2     order assessing civil penalties, the respondent shall,
3     within 35 days after the date of the final order, pay the
4     amount of the civil penalties into an escrow account
5     maintained by the district for that purpose or file a bond
6     guaranteeing payment of the civil penalties if the civil
7     penalties are upheld on review.
8         (11) Civil penalties not paid by the times specified
9     above shall be delinquent and subject to a lien recorded
10     against the property of the person ordered to pay the
11     penalty. The foregoing provisions for asserting liens
12     against real estate by the sanitary district shall be in
13     addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy or
14     right of recovery, in law or equity, that the sanitary
15     district may have with respect to the collection or
16     recovery of penalties and charges imposed by the sanitary
17     district. Judgment in a civil action brought by the
18     sanitary district to recover or collect the charges shall
19     not operate as a release and waiver of the lien upon the
20     real estate for the amount of the judgment. Only
21     satisfaction of the judgment or the filing of a release or
22     satisfaction of lien shall release the lien.
23     (e) The executive director may order a person to cease the
24 discharge of industrial waste upon a finding by the executive
25 director that the final order of the Board of Commissioners
26 entered after a hearing to show cause has been violated. The

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 303 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 executive director shall serve the person with a copy of his or
2 her order either by certified mail or personally by serving the
3 owner, officer, registered agent, or individual designated by
4 permit. The order of the executive director shall also schedule
5 an expedited hearing before a hearing officer designated by the
6 Board of Commissioners for the purpose of determining whether
7 the company has violated the final order of the Board of
8 Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall adopt rules of
9 procedure governing expedited hearings. In no event shall the
10 hearing be conducted less than 7 days after receipt by the
11 person of the executive director's order.
12     At the conclusion of the expedited hearing, the hearing
13 officer shall prepare a report with his or her findings and
14 recommendations and transmit it to the Board of Commissioners.
15 If the Board of Commissioners, after reviewing the findings and
16 recommendations, and the record produced at the hearings,
17 determines that the person has violated the Board of
18 Commissioner's final order, the Board of Commissioners may
19 authorize the plugging of the sewer. The executive director
20 shall give not less than 10 days written notice of the Board of
21 Commissioner's order to the owner, officer, registered agent,
22 or individual designated by permit, as well as the owner of
23 record of the real estate and other parties known to be
24 affected, that the sewer will be plugged.
25     The foregoing provision for plugging a sewer shall be in
26 addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy, in law

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 304 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 or in equity, that the district may have to prevent violation
2 of its ordinances and orders of its Board of Commissioners.
3     (f) A violation of the final order of the Board of
4 Commissioners shall be considered a nuisance. If any person
5 discharges sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes into any
6 waters contrary to the final order of the Board of
7 Commissioners, the sanitary district acting through the
8 executive director has the power to commence an action or
9 proceeding in the circuit court in and for the county in which
10 the sanitary district is located for the purpose of having the
11 discharge stopped either by mandamus or injunction, or to
12 remedy the violation in any manner provided for in this
13 Section.
14     The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days after
15 the service of the copy of the complaint, in which the party
16 complained of must plead to the complaint, and in the meantime,
17 the party may be restrained. In case of default or after
18 pleading, the court shall immediately inquire into the facts
19 and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate judgment
20 in respect to the matters complained of. Appeals may be taken
21 as in other civil cases.
22     (g) The sanitary district, acting through the executive
23 director, has the power to commence an action or proceeding for
24 mandamus or injunction in the circuit court ordering a person
25 to cease its discharge, when, in the opinion of the executive
26 director, the person's discharge presents an imminent danger to

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 305 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 the public health, welfare, or safety, presents or may present
2 an endangerment to the environment, or threatens to interfere
3 with the operation of the sewerage system or a water
4 reclamation plant under the jurisdiction of the sanitary
5 district. The initiation of a show cause hearing is not a
6 prerequisite to the commencement by the sanitary district of an
7 action or proceeding for mandamus or injunction in the circuit
8 court. The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days
9 after the service of a copy of the petition, in which the party
10 complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime,
11 the party may be restrained. In case of default in answer or
12 after answer, the court shall immediately inquire into the
13 facts and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate
14 judgment order in respect to the matters complained of. An
15 appeal may be taken from the final judgment in the same manner
16 and with the same effect as appeals are taken from judgment of
17 the circuit court in other actions for mandamus or injunction.
18     (h) Whenever the sanitary district commences an action
19 under subsection (f) of this Section, the court shall assess a
20 civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for
21 each day the person violates a Board order. Whenever the
22 sanitary district commences an action under subsection (g) of
23 this Section, the court shall assess a civil penalty of not
24 less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for each day the person
25 violates the ordinance. Each day's continuance of the violation
26 is a separate offense. The penalties provided in this Section

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 306 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 plus interest at the rate set forth in the Interest Act on
2 unpaid penalties, costs, and fees, imposed by the Board of
3 Commissioners under subsection (d), the reasonable costs to the
4 sanitary district of removal or other remedial action caused by
5 discharges in violation of this Act, reasonable attorney's
6 fees, court costs, and other expenses of litigation together
7 with costs for inspection, sampling, analysis, and
8 administration related to the enforcement action against the
9 offending party are recoverable by the sanitary district in a
10 civil action.
11     (i) The Board of Commissioners may establish fees for late
12 filing of reports with the sanitary district required by an
13 ordinance governing discharges. The sanitary district shall
14 provide by certified mail a written notice of the fee
15 assessment that states the person has 30 days after the receipt
16 of the notice to request a conference with the executive
17 director's designee to discuss or dispute the appropriateness
18 of the assessed fee. Unless a person objects to paying the fee
19 for filing a report late by timely requesting in writing a
20 conference with a designee of the executive director, that
21 person waives his or her right to a conference and the sanitary
22 district may impose a lien recorded against the property of the
23 person for the amount of the unpaid fee.
24     If a person requests a conference and the matter is not
25 resolved at the conference, the person subject to the fee may
26 request an administrative hearing before an impartial hearing

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 307 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 officer appointed under subsection (d) to determine the
2 person's liability for and the amount of the fee.
3     If the hearing officer finds that the late filing fees are
4 owed to the sanitary district, the sanitary district shall
5 notify the responsible person or persons of the hearing
6 officer's decision. If payment is not made within 30 days after
7 the notice, the sanitary district may impose a lien on the
8 property of the person or persons.
9     Any liens filed under this subsection shall apply only to
10 the property to which the late filing fees are related. A claim
11 for lien shall be filed in the office of the recorder of the
12 county in which the property is located. The filing of a claim
13 for lien by the district does not prevent the sanitary district
14 from pursuing other means for collecting late filing fees. If a
15 claim for lien is filed, the sanitary district shall notify the
16 person whose property is subject to the lien, and the person
17 may challenge the lien by filing an action in the circuit
18 court. The action shall be filed within 90 days after the
19 person receives the notice of the filing of the claim for lien.
20 The court shall hear evidence concerning the underlying reasons
21 for the lien only if an administrative hearing has not been
22 held under this subsection.
23     (j) If the provisions of any paragraph of this Section are
24 declared unconstitutional or invalid by the final decision of
25 any court of competent jurisdiction, the provisions of the
26 remaining paragraphs continue in effect.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 308 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     (k) Nothing in this Section eliminates any of the powers
2 now granted to municipalities having a population of 500,000 or
3 more as to design, preparation of plans, and construction,
4 maintenance, and operation of sewers and sewerage systems, or
5 for the control and elimination or prevention of the pollution
6 of their waters or waterways, in the Illinois Municipal Code or
7 any other Act of the State of Illinois.
8     (l) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law and all
9 amendments and rules adopted pursuant to that Law apply to and
10 govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final
11 administrative decisions of the Board of Commissioners in the
12 enforcement of any ordinance, rule, or regulation adopted under
13 this Act.

19     (70 ILCS 3605/12a)  (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 312a)
20     Sec. 12a. In addition to other powers provided in Section
21 12b, the Authority may issue its notes from time to time, in
22 anticipation of tax receipts of the Regional Transportation
23 Authority allocated to the Authority or of other revenues or
24 receipts of the Authority, in order to provide money for the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 314 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 Authority to cover any cash flow deficit which the Authority
2 anticipates incurring. Provided, however, that no such notes
3 may be issued unless the annual cost thereof is incorporated in
4 a budget or revised budget of the Authority which has been
5 approved by the Regional Transportation Authority. Any such
6 notes are referred to as "Working Cash Notes". Provided further
7 that, the board shall not issue and have outstanding or demand
8 and direct that the Board of the Regional Transportation
9 Authority issue and have outstanding more than an aggregate of
10 $40,000,000 in Working Cash Notes. No Working Cash Notes shall
11 be issued for a term of longer than 18 months. Proceeds of
12 Working Cash Notes may be used to pay day to day operating
13 expenses of the Authority, consisting of wages, salaries and
14 fringe benefits, professional and technical services
15 (including legal, audit, engineering and other consulting
16 services), office rental, furniture, fixtures and equipment,
17 insurance premiums, claims for self-insured amounts under
18 insurance policies, public utility obligations for telephone,
19 light, heat and similar items, travel expenses, office
20 supplies, postage, dues, subscriptions, public hearings and
21 information expenses, fuel purchases, and payments of grants
22 and payments under purchase of service agreements for
23 operations of transportation agencies, prior to the receipt by
24 the Authority from time to time of funds for paying such
25 expenses. Proceeds of the Working Cash Notes shall not be used
26 (i) to increase or provide a debt service reserve fund for any

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 315 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 bonds or notes other than Working Cash Notes of the same
2 Series, or (ii) to pay principal of or interest or redemption
3 premium on any capital bonds or notes, whether as such amounts
4 become due or by earlier redemption, issued by the Authority or
5 a transportation agency to construct or acquire public
6 transportation facilities, or to provide funds to purchase such
7 capital bonds or notes.
8     (b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of any such
9 notes shall fix the date or dates of maturity, the dates on
10 which interest is payable, any sinking fund account or reserve
11 fund account provisions and all other details of such notes and
12 may provide for such covenants or agreements necessary or
13 desirable with regard to the issue, sale and security of such
14 notes. The Authority shall determine and fix the rate or rates
15 of interest of its notes issued under this Act in an ordinance
16 adopted by the Board prior to the issuance thereof, none of
17 which rates of interest shall exceed that permitted in "An Act
18 to authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other
19 evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
20 subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein",
21 approved May 26, 1970, as now or hereafter amended. Interest
22 may be payable annually or semi-annually, or at such other
23 times as determined by the Board. Notes issued under this
24 Section may be issued as serial or term obligations, shall be
25 of such denomination or denominations and form, including
26 interest coupons to be attached thereto, be executed in such

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 316 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 manner, shall be payable at such place or places and bear such
2 date as the Board shall fix by the ordinance authorizing such
3 note and shall mature at such time or times, within a period
4 not to exceed 18 months from the date of issue, and may be
5 redeemable prior to maturity with or without premium, at the
6 option of the Board, upon such terms and conditions as the
7 Board shall fix by the ordinance authorizing the issuance of
8 such notes. The Board may provide for the registration of notes
9 in the name of the owner as to the principal alone or as to both
10 principal and interest, upon such terms and conditions as the
11 Board may determine. The ordinance authorizing notes may
12 provide for the exchange of such notes which are fully
13 registered, as to both principal and interest, with notes which
14 are registerable as to principal only. All notes issued under
15 this Section by the Board shall be sold at a price which may be
16 at a premium or discount but such that the interest cost
17 (excluding any redemption premium) to the Board of the proceeds
18 of an issue of such notes, computed to stated maturity
19 according to standard tables of bond values, shall not exceed
20 that permitted in "An Act to authorize public corporations to
21 issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax
22 anticipation warrants subject to interest rate limitations set
23 forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as now or hereafter
24 amended. Such notes shall be sold at such time or times as the
25 Board shall determine. The notes may be sold either upon
26 competitive bidding or by negotiated sale (without any

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 317 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 requirement of publication of intention to negotiate the sale
2 of such notes), as the Board shall determine by ordinance
3 adopted with the affirmative votes of at least 4 Directors. In
4 case any officer whose signature appears on any notes or
5 coupons authorized pursuant to this Section shall cease to be
6 such officer before delivery of such notes, such signature
7 shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,
8 the same as if such officer had remained in office until such
9 delivery. Neither the Directors of the Regional Transportation
10 Authority, the Directors of the Authority nor any person
11 executing any bonds or notes thereof shall be liable personally
12 on any such bonds or notes or coupons by reason of the issuance
13 thereof.
14     (c) All notes of the Authority issued pursuant to this
15 Section shall be general obligations of the Authority to which
16 shall be pledged the full faith and credit of the Authority, as
17 provided in this Section. Such notes shall be secured as
18 provided in the authorizing ordinance, which may,
19 notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, include in
20 addition to any other security, a specific pledge or assignment
21 of and lien on or security interest in any or all tax receipts
22 of the Regional Transportation Authority allocated to the
23 Authority and on any or all other revenues or moneys of the
24 Authority from whatever source which may by law be utilized for
25 debt service purposes and a specific pledge or assignment of
26 and lien on or security interest in any funds or accounts

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 318 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 established or provided for by the ordinance of the Board
2 authorizing the issuance of such notes. Any such pledge,
3 assignment, lien or security interest for the benefit of
4 holders of notes of the Authority shall be valid and binding
5 from the time the notes are issued without any physical
6 delivery or further act, and shall be valid and binding as
7 against and prior to the claims of all other parties having
8 claims of any kind against the Authority or any other person
9 irrespective of whether such other parties have notice of such
10 pledge, assignment, lien or security interest. The obligations
11 of the Authority incurred pursuant to this Section shall be
12 superior to and have priority over any other obligations of the
13 Authority except for obligations under Section 12. The Board
14 may provide in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of any
15 notes issued pursuant to this Section for the creation of,
16 deposits in, and regulation and disposition of sinking fund or
17 reserve accounts relating to such notes. The ordinance
18 authorizing the issuance of any notes pursuant to this Section
19 may contain provisions as part of the contract with the holders
20 of the notes, for the creation of a separate fund to provide
21 for the payment of principal and interest on such notes and for
22 the deposit in such fund from any or all the tax receipts of
23 the Regional Transportation Authority allocated to the
24 Authority and from any or all such other moneys or revenues of
25 the Authority from whatever source which may by law be utilized
26 for debt service purposes, all as provided in such ordinance,

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 319 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 of amounts to meet the debt service requirements on such notes,
2 including principal and interest, and any sinking fund or
3 reserve fund account requirements as may be provided by such
4 ordinance, and all expenses incident to or in connection with
5 such fund and accounts or the payment of such notes. Such
6 ordinance may also provide limitations on the issuance of
7 additional notes of the Authority. No such notes of the
8 Authority shall constitute a debt of the State of Illinois.
9     (d) The ordinance of the Board authorizing the issuance of
10 any notes may provide additional security for such notes by
11 providing for appointment of a corporate trustee (which may be
12 any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company
13 within the State) with respect to such notes. The ordinance
14 shall prescribe the rights, duties and powers of the trustee to
15 be exercised for the benefit of the Authority and the
16 protection of the holders of such notes. The ordinance may
17 provide for the trustee to hold in and trust, invest and use
18 amounts in funds and accounts created as provided by the
19 ordinance with respect to the notes. The ordinance shall
20 provide that amounts so paid to the trustee which are not
21 required to be deposited, held or invested in funds and
22 accounts created by the ordinance with respect to notes or used
23 for paying notes to be paid by the trustee to the Authority.
24     (e) Any notes of the Authority issued pursuant to this
25 Section shall constitute a contract between the Authority and
26 the holders from time to time of such notes. In issuing any

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 320 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 note, the Board may include in the ordinance authorizing such
2 issue a covenant as part of the contract with the holders of
3 the notes, that as long as such obligations are outstanding, it
4 shall make such deposits, as provided in paragraph (c) of this
5 Section. A certified copy of the ordinance authorizing the
6 issuance of any such obligations shall be filed at or prior to
7 the issuance of such obligations with the Regional
8 Transportation Authority, Comptroller of the State of Illinois
9 and the Illinois Department of Revenue.
10     (f) The State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with the
11 holders of the notes of the Authority issued pursuant to this
12 Section that the State will not limit or alter the rights and
13 powers vested in the Authority by this Act or in the Regional
14 Transportation Authority by the "Regional Transportation
15 Authority Act" so as to impair the terms of any contract made
16 by the Authority with such holders or in any way impair the
17 rights and remedies of such holders until such notes, together
18 with interest thereon, with interest on any unpaid installments
19 of interest, and all costs and expenses in connection with any
20 action or proceedings by or on behalf of such holders, are
21 fully met and discharged. In addition, the State pledges to and
22 agrees with the holders of the notes of the Authority issued
23 pursuant to this Section that the State will not limit or alter
24 the basis on which State funds are to be paid to the Authority
25 as provided in the Regional Transportation Authority Act, or
26 the use of such funds, so as to impair the terms of any such

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 321 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 contract. The Board is authorized to include these pledges and
2 agreements of the State in any contract with the holders of
3 bonds or notes issued pursuant to this Section.
4     (g) The Board shall not at any time issue, sell or deliver
5 any Interim Financing Notes pursuant to this Section which will
6 cause it to have issued and outstanding at any time in excess
7 of $40,000,000 of Working Cash Notes. Notes which are being
8 paid or retired by such issuance, sale or delivery of notes,
9 and notes for which sufficient funds have been deposited with
10 the paying agency of such notes to provide for payment of
11 principal and interest thereon or to provide for the redemption
12 thereof, all pursuant to the ordinance authorizing the issuance
13 of such notes, shall not be considered to be outstanding for
14 the purposes of this paragraph.
15     (h) The Board, subject to the terms of any agreements with
16 noteholders as may then exist, shall have power, out of any
17 funds available therefor, to purchase notes of the Authority
18 which shall thereupon be cancelled.
19     (i) In addition to any other authority granted by law, the
20 State Treasurer may, with the approval of the Governor, invest
21 or reinvest, at a price not to exceed par, any State money in
22 the State Treasury which is not needed for current expenditures
23 due or about to become due in Interim Financing Notes.

25     Section 140. The Local Mass Transit District Act is amended

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 322 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 by changing Section 5.01 as follows:
 
2     (70 ILCS 3610/5.01)   (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 355.01)
3     Sec. 5.01. Metro East Mass Transit District; use and
4 occupation taxes.
5     (a) The Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit
6 District may, by ordinance adopted with the concurrence of
7 two-thirds of the then trustees, impose throughout the District
8 any or all of the taxes and fees provided in this Section. All
9 taxes and fees imposed under this Section shall be used only
10 for public mass transportation systems, and the amount used to
11 provide mass transit service to unserved areas of the District
12 shall be in the same proportion to the total proceeds as the
13 number of persons residing in the unserved areas is to the
14 total population of the District. Except as otherwise provided
15 in this Act, taxes imposed under this Section and civil
16 penalties imposed incident thereto shall be collected and
17 enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The Department
18 shall have the power to administer and enforce the taxes and to
19 determine all rights for refunds for erroneous payments of the
20 taxes.
21     (b) The Board may impose a Metro East Mass Transit District
22 Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the
23 business of selling tangible personal property at retail in the
24 district at a rate of 1/4 of 1%, or as authorized under
25 subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the gross receipts from

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 323 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 the sales made in the course of such business within the
2 district. The tax imposed under this Section and all civil
3 penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
4 collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
5 Department shall have full power to administer and enforce this
6 Section; to collect all taxes and penalties so collected in the
7 manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to
8 credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of
9 tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and
10 compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons who
11 are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
12 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
13 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
14 penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and
15 employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
16 Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65
17 (in respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate
18 of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
19 penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j,
20 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the
21 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
22 Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
23 set forth herein.
24     Persons subject to any tax imposed under the Section may
25 reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability
26 hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 324 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single
2 amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect
3 under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket
4 schedules as the Department may prescribe.
5     Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
6 made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
7 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
8 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
9 amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
10 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
11 Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund
12 established under paragraph (h) (g) of this Section.
13     If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
14 also be imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section.
15     For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
16 under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer
17 of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
18 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
19 is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
20 coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
21 seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
22 sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
23 interstate or foreign commerce.
24     No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
25 on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
26 another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 325 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 State.
2     Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the
3 Metro East Mass Transit District to impose a tax upon the
4 privilege of engaging in any business which under the
5 Constitution of the United States may not be made the subject
6 of taxation by this State.
7     (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a Metro
8 East Mass Transit District Service Occupation Tax shall also be
9 imposed upon all persons engaged, in the district, in the
10 business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to
11 making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal

4 next following the adoption and filing.
5     (D) If the voters have approved a referendum under this

8 Board of Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance at
9 any time before January 1, 1995 that excludes from the rate
10 increase tangible personal property that is titled or
11 registered with an agency of this State's government. The
12 ordinance excluding titled or registered tangible personal
13 property from the rate increase must be filed with the
14 Department at least 15 days before its effective date. At any
15 time after adopting an ordinance excluding from the rate
16 increase tangible personal property that is titled or

18 East Mass Transit District Board of Trustees may adopt an
19 ordinance applying the rate increase to that tangible personal

6 property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
7 government. After July 1, 2004, if the voters have approved a
8 referendum under this subsection to increase the tax rate under
9 this subsection, the Metro East Mass Transit District Board of
10 Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance that
11 excludes from the rate increase tangible personal property that
12 is titled or registered with an agency of this State's
13 government. The ordinance excluding titled or registered
14 tangible personal property from the rate increase shall be
15 adopted, and a certified copy of that ordinance shall be filed

10 property that is subject to either the Metro East Mass Transit
11 District Retailers' Occupation Tax or the Metro East Mass
12 Transit District Service Occupation Tax. No fee shall be
13 imposed or collected under this subsection on the sale of a
14 motor vehicle in this State to a resident of another state if
15 that motor vehicle will not be titled in this State.
16     (d-7) Until June 30, 2004, if a fee has been imposed under
17 subsection (d-6), a fee shall also be imposed upon the
18 privilege of using, in the district, any item of tangible
19 personal property that is titled or registered with any agency

10     achievement that are made each year based on pre-test and
11     post-test outcomes.
12         (3) Evaluation of school-level achievement growth as
13     measured using a value-added model. "Value-added" means
14     the improvement gains in student achievement that are made
15     each year based on pre-test and post-test outcomes.
16         (4) Demonstration of superior, outstanding performance

14 policy governing the transfer of a student from one attendance
15 center to another within the school district upon the request
16 of the student's parent or guardian. Any request by a parent or
17 guardian to transfer his or her child from one attendance
18 center to another within the school district pursuant to
19 Section 1116 of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education
20 Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6316 6317) must be made no later
21 than 30 days after the parent or guardian receives notice of
22 the right to transfer pursuant to that law. A student may not
23 transfer to any of the following attendance centers, except by
24 change in residence if the policy authorizes enrollment based
25 on residence in an attendance area or unless approved by the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 345 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 board on an individual basis:
2         (1) An attendance center that exceeds or as a result of
3     the transfer would exceed its attendance capacity.
4         (2) An attendance center for which the board has
5     established academic criteria for enrollment if the
6     student does not meet the criteria, provided that the
7     transfer must be permitted if the attendance center is the
8     only attendance center serving the student's grade that has
9     not been identified for school improvement, corrective
10     action, or restructuring under Section 1116 of the federal
11     Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
12     Sec. 6316 6317).
13         (3) Any attendance center if the transfer would prevent
14     the school district from meeting its obligations under a
15     State or federal law, court order, or consent decree
16     applicable to the school district.
17     (b) Each school board shall establish and implement a
18 policy governing the transfer of students within a school
19 district from a persistently dangerous school to another public
20 school in that district that is not deemed to be persistently
21 dangerous. In order to be considered a persistently dangerous
22 school, the school must meet all of the following criteria for
23 2 consecutive years:
24         (1) Have greater than 3% of the students enrolled in
25     the school expelled for violence-related conduct.
26         (2) Have one or more students expelled for bringing a

2         (3) Have at least 3% of the students enrolled in the
3     school exercise the individual option to transfer schools
4     pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section.
5     (c) A student may transfer from one public school to
6 another public school in that district if the student is a
7 victim of a violent crime as defined in Section 3 of the Rights
8 of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The violent crime must have
9 occurred on school grounds during regular school hours or
10 during a school-sponsored event.
11     (d) Transfers made pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of
12 this Section shall be made in compliance with the federal No
13 Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110).

20     Sec. 11E-135. Incentives. For districts reorganizing under
21 this Article and for a district or districts that annex all of
22 the territory of one or more entire other school districts in
23 accordance with Article 7 of this Code, the following payments
24 shall be made from appropriations made for these purposes:
25     (a)(1) For a combined school district, as defined in

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 352 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 Section 11E-20 of this Code, or for a unit district, as defined
2 in Section 11E-25 of this Code, for its first year of
3 existence, the general State aid and supplemental general State
4 aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code shall be
5 computed for the new district and for the previously existing
6 districts for which property is totally included within the new
7 district. If the computation on the basis of the previously
8 existing districts is greater, a supplementary payment equal to
9 the difference shall be made for the first 4 years of existence
10 of the new district.
11     (2) For a school district that annexes all of the territory
12 of one or more entire other school districts as defined in
13 Article 7 of this Code, for the first year during which the
14 change of boundaries attributable to the annexation becomes
15 effective for all purposes, as determined under Section 7-9 of
16 this Code, the general State aid and supplemental general State
17 aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code shall be
18 computed for the annexing district as constituted after the
19 annexation and for the annexing and each annexed district as
20 constituted prior to the annexation; and if the computation on
21 the basis of the annexing and annexed districts as constituted
22 prior to the annexation is greater, then a supplementary
23 payment equal to the difference shall be made for the first 4
24 years of existence of the annexing school district as
25 constituted upon the annexation.
26     (3) For 2 or more school districts that annex all of the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 353 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 territory of one or more entire other school districts, as
2 defined in Article 7 of this Code, for the first year during
3 which the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation
4 becomes effective for all purposes, as determined under Section
5 7-9 of this Code, the general State aid and supplemental
6 general State aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code
7 shall be computed for each annexing district as constituted
8 after the annexation and for each annexing and annexed district
9 as constituted prior to the annexation; and if the aggregate of
10 the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so
11 computed for the annexing districts as constituted after the
12 annexation is less than the aggregate of the general State aid
13 and supplemental general State aid as so computed for the
14 annexing and annexed districts, as constituted prior to the
15 annexation, then a supplementary payment equal to the
16 difference shall be made and allocated between or among the
17 annexing districts, as constituted upon the annexation, for the
18 first 4 years of their existence. The total difference payment
19 shall be allocated between or among the annexing districts in
20 the same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion of the
21 annexed district or districts that is annexed to each annexing
22 district bears to the total pupil enrollment from the entire
23 annexed district or districts, as such pupil enrollment is
24 determined for the school year last ending prior to the date
25 when the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation
26 becomes effective for all purposes. The amount of the total

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 354 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 difference payment and the amount thereof to be allocated to
2 the annexing districts shall be computed by the State Board of
3 Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other data that
4 shall be certified to the State Board of Education, on forms
5 that it shall provide for that purpose, by the regional
6 superintendent of schools for each educational service region
7 in which the annexing and annexed districts are located.
8     (4) For a school district conversion, as defined in Section
9 11E-15 of this Code, or a multi-unit conversion, as defined in
10 subsection (b) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, if in their
11 first year of existence the newly created elementary districts
12 and the newly created high school district, from a school
13 district conversion, or the newly created elementary district
14 or districts and newly created combined high school - unit
15 district, from a multi-unit conversion, qualify for less
16 general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of this Code than would
17 have been payable under Section 18-8.05 for that same year to
18 the previously existing districts, then a supplementary
19 payment equal to that difference shall be made for the first 4
20 years of existence of the newly created districts. The
21 aggregate amount of each supplementary payment shall be
22 allocated among the newly created districts in the proportion
23 that the deemed pupil enrollment in each district during its
24 first year of existence bears to the actual aggregate pupil
25 enrollment in all of the districts during their first year of
26 existence. For purposes of each allocation:

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 355 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         (A) the deemed pupil enrollment of the newly created
2     high school district from a school district conversion
3     shall be an amount equal to its actual pupil enrollment for
4     its first year of existence multiplied by 1.25;
5         (B) the deemed pupil enrollment of each newly created
6     elementary district from a school district conversion
7     shall be an amount equal to its actual pupil enrollment for
8     its first year of existence reduced by an amount equal to
9     the product obtained when the amount by which the newly
10     created high school district's deemed pupil enrollment
11     exceeds its actual pupil enrollment for its first year of
12     existence is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
13     which is the actual pupil enrollment of the newly created
14     elementary district for its first year of existence and the
15     denominator of which is the actual aggregate pupil
16     enrollment of all of the newly created elementary districts
17     for their first year of existence;
18         (C) the deemed high school pupil enrollment of the
19     newly created combined high school - unit district from a
20     multi-unit conversion shall be an amount equal to its
21     actual grades 9 through 12 pupil enrollment for its first
22     year of existence multiplied by 1.25; and
23         (D) the deemed elementary pupil enrollment of each
24     newly created district from a multi-unit conversion shall
25     be an amount equal to each district's actual grade K
26     through 8 pupil enrollment for its first year of existence,

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 356 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     reduced by an amount equal to the product obtained when the
2     amount by which the newly created combined high school -
3     unit district's deemed high school pupil enrollment
4     exceeds its actual grade 9 through 12 pupil enrollment for
5     its first year of existence is multiplied by a fraction,
6     the numerator of which is the actual grade K through 8
7     pupil enrollment of each newly created district for its
8     first year of existence and the denominator of which is the
9     actual aggregate grade K through 8 pupil enrollment of all
10     such newly created districts for their first year of
11     existence.
12      The aggregate amount of each supplementary payment under
13 this subdivision (4) and the amount thereof to be allocated to
14 the newly created districts shall be computed by the State
15 Board of Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other
16 data, which shall be certified to the State Board of Education,
17 on forms that it shall provide for that purpose, by the
18 regional superintendent of schools for each educational
19 service region in which the newly created districts are
20 located.
21     (5) For a partial elementary unit district, as defined in
22 subsection (a) or (c) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, if, in
23 the first year of existence, the newly created partial
24 elementary unit district qualifies for less general State aid
25 and supplemental general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
26 this Code than would have been payable under that Section for

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 357 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 that same year to the previously existing districts that formed
2 the partial elementary unit district, then a supplementary
3 payment equal to that difference shall be made to the partial
4 elementary unit district for the first 4 years of existence of
5 that newly created district.
6     (6) For an elementary opt-in, as described in subsection
7 (d) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, the general State aid
8 difference shall be computed in accordance with paragraph (5)
9 of this subsection (a) as if the elementary opt-in was included
10 in an optional elementary unit district at the optional
11 elementary unit district's original effective date. If the
12 calculation in this paragraph (6) is less than that calculated
13 in paragraph (5) of this subsection (a) at the optional
14 elementary unit district's original effective date, then no
15 adjustments may be made. If the calculation in this paragraph
16 (6) is more than that calculated in paragraph (5) of this
17 subsection (a) at the optional elementary unit district's
18 original effective date, then the excess must be paid as
19 follows:
20         (A) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
21     one year after the effective date for the optional
22     elementary unit district, 100% of the calculated excess
23     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
24     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
25     elementary opt-in.
26         (B) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 358 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     2 years after the effective date for the optional
2     elementary unit district, 75% of the calculated excess
3     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
4     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
5     elementary opt-in.
6         (C) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
7     3 years after the effective date for the optional
8     elementary unit district, 50% of the calculated excess
9     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
10     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
11     elementary opt-in.
12         (D) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
13     4 years after the effective date for the optional
14     elementary unit district, 25% of the calculated excess
15     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
16     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
17     elementary opt-in.
18         (E) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
19     5 years after the effective date for the optional
20     elementary unit district, the optional elementary unit
21     district is not eligible for any additional incentives due
22     to the elementary opt-in.
23     (6.5) For a school district that annexes territory detached
24 from another school district whereby the enrollment of the
25 annexing district increases by 90% or more as a result of the
26 annexation, for the first year during which the change of

1 boundaries attributable to the annexation becomes effective
2 for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 of this Code,
3 the general State aid and supplemental general State aid
4 calculated under this Section shall be computed for the
5 district gaining territory and the district losing territory as
6 constituted after the annexation and for the same districts as
7 constituted prior to the annexation; and if the aggregate of
8 the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so
9 computed for the district gaining territory and the district
10 losing territory as constituted after the annexation is less
11 than the aggregate of the general State aid and supplemental
12 general State aid as so computed for the district gaining
13 territory and the district losing territory as constituted
14 prior to the annexation, then a supplementary payment shall be
15 made to the annexing district for the first 4 years of
16 existence after the annexation, equal to the difference
17 multiplied by the ratio of student enrollment in the territory
18 detached to the total student enrollment in the district losing
19 territory for the year prior to the effective date of the
20 annexation. The amount of the total difference and the
21 proportion paid to the annexing district shall be computed by
22 the State Board of Education on the basis of pupil enrollment
23 and other data that must be submitted to the State Board of
24 Education in accordance with Section 7-14A of this Code. The
25 changes to this Section made by Public Act 95-707 this
26 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly are intended to be

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 360 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 retroactive and applicable to any annexation taking effect on
2 or after July 1, 2004. For annexations that are eligible for
3 payments under this paragraph (6.5) and that are effective on
4 or after July 1, 2004, but before January 11, 2008 (the
5 effective date of Public Act 95-707) this amendatory Act of the
6 95th General Assembly, the first required yearly payment under
7 this paragraph (6.5) shall be paid in the fiscal year of
8 January 11, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-707) this
9 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. Subsequent
10 required yearly payments shall be paid in subsequent fiscal
11 years until the payment obligation under this paragraph (6.5)
12 is complete.
13     (7) Claims for financial assistance under this subsection
14 (a) may not be recomputed except as expressly provided under
15 Section 18-8.05 of this Code.
16     (8) Any supplementary payment made under this subsection
17 (a) must be treated as separate from all other payments made
18 pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code.
19     (b)(1) After the formation of a combined school district,
20 as defined in Section 11E-20 of this Code, or a unit district,
21 as defined in Section 11E-25 of this Code, a computation shall
22 be made to determine the difference between the salaries
23 effective in each of the previously existing districts on June
24 30, prior to the creation of the new district. For the first 4
25 years after the formation of the new district, a supplementary
26 State aid reimbursement shall be paid to the new district equal

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 361 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by
2 each of the certificated members of the new district, while
3 employed in one of the previously existing districts during the
4 year immediately preceding the formation of the new district,
5 and the sum of the salaries those certificated members would
6 have been paid during the year immediately prior to the
7 formation of the new district if placed on the salary schedule
8 of the previously existing district with the highest salary
9 schedule.
10     (2) After the territory of one or more school districts is
11 annexed by one or more other school districts as defined in
12 Article 7 of this Code, a computation shall be made to
13 determine the difference between the salaries effective in each
14 annexed district and in the annexing district or districts as
15 they were each constituted on June 30 preceding the date when
16 the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation became
17 effective for all purposes, as determined under Section 7-9 of
18 this Code. For the first 4 years after the annexation, a
19 supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid to each
20 annexing district as constituted after the annexation equal to
21 the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by each
22 of the certificated members of the annexing district as
23 constituted after the annexation, while employed in an annexed
24 or annexing district during the year immediately preceding the

SB1549 Engrossed - 362 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 year if placed on the salary schedule of whichever of the
2 annexing or annexed districts had the highest salary schedule
3 during the immediately preceding year.
4     (3) For each new high school district formed under a school
5 district conversion, as defined in Section 11E-15 of this Code,
6 the State shall make a supplementary payment for 4 years equal
7 to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by
8 each certified member of the new high school district, while
9 employed in one of the previously existing districts, and the
10 sum of the salaries those certified members would have been
11 paid if placed on the salary schedule of the previously
12 existing district with the highest salary schedule.
13     (4) For each newly created partial elementary unit
14 district, the State shall make a supplementary payment for 4
15 years equal to the difference between the sum of the salaries
16 earned by each certified member of the newly created partial
17 elementary unit district, while employed in one of the
18 previously existing districts that formed the partial
19 elementary unit district, and the sum of the salaries those
20 certified members would have been paid if placed on the salary
21 schedule of the previously existing district with the highest
22 salary schedule. The salary schedules used in the calculation
23 shall be those in effect in the previously existing districts
24 for the school year prior to the creation of the new partial
25 elementary unit district.
26     (5) For an elementary district opt-in, as described in

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 363 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 subsection (d) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, the salary
2 difference incentive shall be computed in accordance with
3 paragraph (4) of this subsection (b) as if the opted-in
4 elementary district was included in the optional elementary
5 unit district at the optional elementary unit district's
6 original effective date. If the calculation in this paragraph
7 (5) is less than that calculated in paragraph (4) of this
8 subsection (b) at the optional elementary unit district's
9 original effective date, then no adjustments may be made. If
10 the calculation in this paragraph (5) is more than that
11 calculated in paragraph (4) of this subsection (b) at the
12 optional elementary unit district's original effective date,
13 then the excess must be paid as follows:
14         (A) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
15     one year after the effective date for the optional
16     elementary unit district, 100% of the calculated excess
17     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
18     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
19     elementary opt-in.
20         (B) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
21     2 years after the effective date for the optional
22     elementary unit district, 75% of the calculated excess
23     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
24     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
25     elementary opt-in.
26         (C) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 364 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     3 years after the effective date for the optional
2     elementary unit district, 50% of the calculated excess
3     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
4     each of the first 4 years after the effective date of the
5     elementary opt-in.
6         (D) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
7     4 years after the effective date for the partial elementary
8     unit district, 25% of the calculated excess shall be paid
9     to the optional elementary unit district in each of the
10     first 4 years after the effective date of the elementary
11     opt-in.
12         (E) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
13     5 years after the effective date for the optional
14     elementary unit district, the optional elementary unit
15     district is not eligible for any additional incentives due
16     to the elementary opt-in.
17     (5.5) After the formation of a cooperative high school by 2
18 or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this Code,
19 a computation shall be made to determine the difference between
20 the salaries effective in each of the previously existing high
21 schools on June 30 prior to the formation of the cooperative
22 high school. For the first 4 years after the formation of the
23 cooperative high school, a supplementary State aid
24 reimbursement shall be paid to the cooperative high school
25 equal to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned
26 by each of the certificated members of the cooperative high

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 365 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 school while employed in one of the previously existing high
2 schools during the year immediately preceding the formation of
3 the cooperative high school and the sum of the salaries those
4 certificated members would have been paid during the year
5 immediately prior to the formation of the cooperative high
6 school if placed on the salary schedule of the previously
7 existing high school with the highest salary schedule.
8     (5.10) After the annexation of territory detached from
9 another school district whereby the enrollment of the annexing
10 district increases by 90% or more as a result of the
11 annexation, a computation shall be made to determine the
12 difference between the salaries effective in the district
13 gaining territory and the district losing territory as they
14 each were constituted on June 30 preceding the date when the
15 change of boundaries attributable to the annexation became
16 effective for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 of
17 this Code. For the first 4 years after the annexation, a
18 supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid to the
19 annexing district equal to the difference between the sum of
20 the salaries earned by each of the certificated members of the
21 annexing district as constituted after the annexation while
22 employed in the district gaining territory or the district
23 losing territory during the year immediately preceding the
24 annexation and the sum of the salaries those certificated
25 members would have been paid during such immediately preceding
26 year if placed on the salary schedule of whichever of the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 366 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 district gaining territory or district losing territory had the
2 highest salary schedule during the immediately preceding year.
3 To be eligible for supplementary State aid reimbursement under
4 this Section, the intergovernmental agreement to be submitted
5 pursuant to Section 7-14A of this Code must show that staff
6 members were transferred from the control of the district
7 losing territory to the control of the district gaining
8 territory in the annexation. The changes to this Section made
9 by Public Act 95-707 this amendatory Act of the 95th General
10 Assembly are intended to be retroactive and applicable to any
11 annexation taking effect on or after July 1, 2004. For
12 annexations that are eligible for payments under this paragraph
13 (5.10) and that are effective on or after July 1, 2004, but

16 first required yearly payment under this paragraph (5.10) shall
17 be paid in the fiscal year of January 11, 2008 (the effective
18 date of Public Act 95-707) this amendatory Act of the 95th
19 General Assembly. Subsequent required yearly payments shall be
20 paid in subsequent fiscal years until the payment obligation
21 under this paragraph (5.10) is complete.
22     (5.15) (5.10) After the deactivation of a school facility
23 in accordance with Section 10-22.22b of this Code, a
24 computation shall be made to determine the difference between
25 the salaries effective in the sending school district and each
26 receiving school district on June 30 prior to the deactivation

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 367 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 of the school facility. For the lesser of the first 4 years
2 after the deactivation of the school facility or the length of
3 the deactivation agreement, including any renewals of the
4 original deactivation agreement, a supplementary State aid
5 reimbursement shall be paid to each receiving district equal to
6 the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by each
7 of the certificated members transferred to that receiving
8 district as a result of the deactivation while employed in the
9 sending district during the year immediately preceding the
10 deactivation and the sum of the salaries those certificated
11 members would have been paid during the year immediately
12 preceding the deactivation if placed on the salary schedule of
13 the sending or receiving district with the highest salary
14 schedule.
15     (6) The supplementary State aid reimbursement under this
16 subsection (b) shall be treated as separate from all other
17 payments made pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code. In the
18 case of the formation of a new district or cooperative high
19 school or a deactivation, reimbursement shall begin during the
20 first year of operation of the new district or cooperative high
21 school or the first year of the deactivation, and in the case
22 of an annexation of the territory of one or more school
23 districts by one or more other school districts or the
24 annexation of territory detached from a school district whereby
25 the enrollment of the annexing district increases by 90% or
26 more as a result of the annexation, reimbursement shall begin

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 368 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 during the first year when the change in boundaries
2 attributable to the annexation becomes effective for all
3 purposes as determined pursuant to Section 7-9 of this Code,
4 except that for an annexation of territory detached from a
5 school district that is effective on or after July 1, 2004, but
6 before January 11, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act
7 95-707) this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly,
8 whereby the enrollment of the annexing district increases by
9 90% or more as a result of the annexation, reimbursement shall
10 begin during the fiscal year of January 11, 2008 (the effective
11 date of Public Act 95-707) this amendatory Act of the 95th
12 General Assembly. Each year that the new, annexing, or
13 receiving district or cooperative high school, as the case may
14 be, is entitled to receive reimbursement, the number of
15 eligible certified members who are employed on October 1 in the
16 district or cooperative high school shall be certified to the
17 State Board of Education on prescribed forms by October 15 and
18 payment shall be made on or before November 15 of that year.
19     (c)(1) For the first year after the formation of a combined
20 school district, as defined in Section 11E-20 of this Code or a
21 unit district, as defined in Section 11E-25 of this Code, a
22 computation shall be made totaling each previously existing
23 district's audited fund balances in the educational fund,
24 working cash fund, operations and maintenance fund, and
25 transportation fund for the year ending June 30 prior to the
26 referendum for the creation of the new district. The new

1 district shall be paid supplementary State aid equal to the sum
2 of the differences between the deficit of the previously
3 existing district with the smallest deficit and the deficits of
4 each of the other previously existing districts.
5     (2) For the first year after the annexation of all of the
6 territory of one or more entire school districts by another
7 school district, as defined in Article 7 of this Code,
8 computations shall be made, for the year ending June 30 prior
9 to the date that the change of boundaries attributable to the
10 annexation is allowed by the affirmative decision issued by the
11 regional board of school trustees under Section 7-6 of this
12 Code, notwithstanding any effort to seek administrative review
13 of the decision, totaling the annexing district's and totaling
14 each annexed district's audited fund balances in their
15 respective educational, working cash, operations and
16 maintenance, and transportation funds. The annexing district
17 as constituted after the annexation shall be paid supplementary
18 State aid equal to the sum of the differences between the
19 deficit of whichever of the annexing or annexed districts as
20 constituted prior to the annexation had the smallest deficit
21 and the deficits of each of the other districts as constituted
22 prior to the annexation.
23     (3) For the first year after the annexation of all of the
24 territory of one or more entire school districts by 2 or more
25 other school districts, as defined by Article 7 of this Code,
26 computations shall be made, for the year ending June 30 prior

4 Code, notwithstanding any action for administrative review of
5 the decision, totaling each annexing and annexed district's
6 audited fund balances in their respective educational, working
7 cash, operations and maintenance, and transportation funds.
8 The annexing districts as constituted after the annexation
9 shall be paid supplementary State aid, allocated as provided in
10 this paragraph (3), in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of
11 the differences between the deficit of whichever of the
12 annexing or annexed districts as constituted prior to the

21     Board of Education, on forms that it shall provide for that
22     purpose, the value of all taxable property in each annexed
23     district, as last equalized or assessed by the Department

3     regional superintendent of schools under clause (A) of this
4     paragraph (3), the combined audited fund balance deficit of
5     each annexed district as determined under this Section
6     shall be apportioned between or among the annexing
7     districts in the same ratio as the equalized assessed value
8     of that part of the annexed district that was annexed to or
9     included as a part of an annexing district bears to the
10     total equalized assessed value of the annexed district; and
11         (C) the aggregate supplementary State aid payment
12     under this paragraph (3) shall be allocated between or
13     among, and shall be paid to, the annexing districts in the

17     deficit amounts apportioned to that annexing district
18     under clause (B) of this subsection, bears to the aggregate
19     of the combined audited fund balance deficits of all of the
20     annexing and annexed districts as constituted prior to the
21     annexation.
22     (4) For the new elementary districts and new high school
23 district formed through a school district conversion, as

3 audited fund balances in the educational fund, working cash
4 fund, operations and maintenance fund, and transportation fund
5 for the year ending June 30 prior to the referendum
6 establishing the new districts. In the first year of the new
7 districts, the State shall make a one-time supplementary
8 payment equal to the sum of the differences between the deficit
9 of the previously existing district with the smallest deficit
10 and the deficits of each of the other previously existing
11 districts. A district with a combined balance among the 4 funds
12 that is positive shall be considered to have a deficit of zero.
13 The supplementary payment shall be allocated among the newly
14 formed high school and elementary districts in the manner
15 provided by the petition for the formation of the districts, in
16 the form in which the petition is approved by the regional
17 superintendent of schools or State Superintendent of Education
18 under Section 11E-50 of this Code.
19     (5) For each newly created partial elementary unit
20 district, as defined in subsection (a) or (c) of Section 11E-30
21 of this Code, a computation shall be made totaling the audited
22 fund balances of each previously existing district that formed
23 the new partial elementary unit district in the educational
24 fund, working cash fund, operations and maintenance fund, and
25 transportation fund for the year ending June 30 prior to the
26 referendum for the formation of the partial elementary unit

1 district. In the first year of the new partial elementary unit
2 district, the State shall make a one-time supplementary payment
3 to the new district equal to the sum of the differences between
4 the deficit of the previously existing district with the
5 smallest deficit and the deficits of each of the other
6 previously existing districts. A district with a combined
7 balance among the 4 funds that is positive shall be considered
8 to have a deficit of zero.
9     (6) For an elementary opt-in as defined in subsection (d)
10 of Section 11E-30 of this Code, the deficit fund balance
11 incentive shall be computed in accordance with paragraph (5) of
12 this subsection (c) as if the opted-in elementary was included
13 in the optional elementary unit district at the optional
14 elementary unit district's original effective date. If the
15 calculation in this paragraph (6) is less than that calculated
16 in paragraph (5) of this subsection (c) at the optional
17 elementary unit district's original effective date, then no
18 adjustments may be made. If the calculation in this paragraph
19 (6) is more than that calculated in paragraph (5) of this
20 subsection (c) at the optional elementary unit district's
21 original effective date, then the excess must be paid as
22 follows:
23         (A) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
24     one year after the effective date for the optional
25     elementary unit district, 100% of the calculated excess
26     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in

2     opt-in.
3         (B) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
4     2 years after the effective date for the optional
5     elementary unit district, 75% of the calculated excess
6     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
7     the first year after the effective date of the elementary
8     opt-in.
9         (C) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
10     3 years after the effective date for the optional
11     elementary unit district, 50% of the calculated excess
12     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
13     the first year after the effective date of the elementary
14     opt-in.
15         (D) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is
16     4 years after the effective date for the optional
17     elementary unit district, 25% of the calculated excess
18     shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in
19     the first year after the effective date of the elementary
20     opt-in.
21         (E) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is

23     elementary unit district, the optional elementary unit
24     district is not eligible for any additional incentives due
25     to the elementary opt-in.

4 audited fund balances of the district gaining territory and the
5 audited fund balances of the district losing territory in the
6 educational fund, working cash fund, operations and
7 maintenance fund, and transportation fund for the year ending
8 June 30 prior to the date that the change of boundaries
9 attributable to the annexation is allowed by the affirmative
10 decision of the regional board of school trustees under Section
11 7-6 of this Code, notwithstanding any action for administrative
12 review of the decision. The annexing district as constituted
13 after the annexation shall be paid supplementary State aid
14 equal to the difference between the deficit of whichever
15 district included in this calculation as constituted prior to
16 the annexation had the smallest deficit and the deficit of each
17 other district included in this calculation as constituted
18 prior to the annexation, multiplied by the ratio of equalized
19 assessed value of the territory detached to the total equalized
20 assessed value of the district losing territory. The regional
21 superintendent of schools for the educational service region in
22 which a district losing territory is located prior to the
23 annexation shall certify to the State Board of Education the
24 value of all taxable property in the district losing territory
25 and the value of all taxable property in the territory being

7 Section made by Public Act 95-707 this amendatory Act of the
8 95th General Assembly are intended to be retroactive and
9 applicable to any annexation taking effect on or after July 1,

18     (7) For purposes of any calculation required under
19 paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), or (6.5) of this
20 subsection (c), a district with a combined fund balance that is
21 positive shall be considered to have a deficit of zero. For
22 purposes of determining each district's audited fund balances

1 each fund shall be deemed decreased by an amount equal to the
2 amount of the annual property tax theretofore levied in the
3 fund by the district for collection and payment to the district
4 during the calendar year in which the June 30 fell, but only to
5 the extent that the tax so levied in the fund actually was
6 received by the district on or before or comprised a part of
7 the fund on such June 30. For purposes of determining each
8 district's audited fund balances, a calculation shall be made
9 for each fund to determine the average for the 3 years prior to
10 the specified year ending June 30, as provided in paragraphs
11 (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (6.5) of this subsection (c),
12 of the district's expenditures in the categories "purchased
13 services", "supplies and materials", and "capital outlay", as
14 those categories are defined in rules of the State Board of
15 Education. If this 3-year average is less than the district's
16 expenditures in these categories for the specified year ending
17 June 30, as provided in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5),
18 (6), and (6.5) of this subsection (c), then the 3-year average
19 shall be used in calculating the amounts payable under this
20 Section in place of the amounts shown in these categories for
21 the specified year ending June 30, as provided in paragraphs
22 (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (6.5) of this subsection (c).
23 Any deficit because of State aid not yet received may not be
24 considered in determining the June 30 deficits. The same basis
25 of accounting shall be used by all previously existing
26 districts and by all annexing or annexed districts, as

23 (A) General Provisions.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 386 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999
2 and subsequent school years. The system of general State
3 financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to
4 assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
5 required local resources, the financial support provided each
6 pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
7 prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach
8 imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and
9 provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
10 general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
11 Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount
12 of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts,
13 in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local
14 Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school
15 district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in
16 this Section.
17     (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school
18 districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils
19 from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental
20 general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to
21 subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for
22 school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for
23 distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
24 in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
25 appropriated under this Section.
26     (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section,

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 387 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 school districts are required to file claims with the State
2 Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
3         (a) Any school district which fails for any given
4     school year to maintain school as required by law, or to
5     maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for
6     such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In
7     case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in
8     a school district otherwise operating recognized schools,
9     the claim of the district shall be reduced in the
10     proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the
11     attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
12     Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school"
13     means any public school which meets the standards as
14     established for recognition by the State Board of
15     Education. A school district or attendance center not
16     having recognition status at the end of a school term is
17     entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
18     claim which was filed while it was recognized.
19         (b) School district claims filed under this Section are
20     subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise
21     provided in this Section.
22         (c) If a school district operates a full year school
23     under Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school
24     district shall be determined by the State Board of
25     Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be
26     applicable.

1         (d) (Blank).
2     (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the
3 board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for
4 in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
5 for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law.
6     School districts are not required to exert a minimum
7 Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under
8 this Section.
9     (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when
10 capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
11         (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil
12     attendance in school, averaged as provided for in
13     subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial
14     support levels.
15         (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of
16     local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average
17     Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to
18     subsection (D).
19         (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes":
20     Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in
21     relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property

23     amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in
24     connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as
25     amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
26         (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil

1     financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
2         (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property
3     taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest,
4     Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational
5     Education Building purposes.
 
6 (B) Foundation Level.
7     (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the
8 State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
9 support that should be available to provide for the basic
10 education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
11 forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
12 a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
13 the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
14 district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
15 available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
16 district.
17     (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of
18 support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the
19 Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school
20 year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. For the

5 thereafter, the Foundation Level of support is $5,959 or such
6 greater amount as may be established by law by the General
7 Assembly.
 
8 (C) Average Daily Attendance.
9     (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
10 to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be
11 utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula
12 calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual
13 number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as
14 further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for
15 each school district. In compiling the figures for the number
16 of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board
17 of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding,
18 conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
19 (F).
20     (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
21 subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
22 school year immediately preceding the school year for which
23 general State aid is being calculated or the average of the
24 attendance data for the 3 preceding school years, whichever is
25 greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 391 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
2 school year immediately preceding the school year for which
3 general State aid is being calculated.
 
4 (D) Available Local Resources.
5     (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
6 to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local
7 Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in
8 this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources
9 per pupil shall include a calculated dollar amount representing
10 local school district revenues from local property taxes and
11 from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed
12 on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. Calculation
13 of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty
14 funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
15     (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local
16 property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the
17 equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each
18 school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The
19 equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and
20 determined as provided in subsection (G).
21     (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
22 through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
23 calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
24 valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by
25 the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 392 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local
2 property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the
3 product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the
4 district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's
5 Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
6 maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues
7 per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation
8 of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the
9 district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
10     For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to
11 Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil
12 shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed
13 valuation for property within the partial elementary unit
14 district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of
15 this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's
16 Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the
17 equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial
18 elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined
19 in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by
20 the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
21     (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid
22 to each school district during the calendar year 2 years before
23 the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided by the
24 Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall be
25 added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as derived
26 by the application of the immediately preceding paragraph (3).

1 The sum of these per pupil figures for each school district
2 shall constitute Available Local Resources as that term is
3 utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of general State
4 aid.
 
5 (E) Computation of General State Aid.
6     (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid
7 allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State
8 Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
9     (2) For any school district for which Available Local
10 Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the
11 Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be
12 calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus
13 Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
14 Attendance of the school district.
15     (3) For any school district for which Available Local
16 Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of
17 0.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of
18 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
19 pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level
20 derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm,
21 the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in
22 direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for
23 a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
24 product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
25 Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 394 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
2 Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts
3 subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general
4 State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily
5 Attendance of the school district.
6     (4) For any school district for which Available Local
7 Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times
8 the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school
9 district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied
10 by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
11     (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
12 district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements
13 set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased
14 by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have
15 been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
16 utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
17 Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less
18 the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year.
19 This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
20 affect any future general State aid allocations.
 
21 (F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
22     (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year,
23 submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by
24 the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school
25 year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 395 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 information so transmitted shall identify the average daily
2 attendance figures for each month of the school year. Beginning
3 with the general State aid claim form for the 2002-2003 school
4 year, districts shall calculate Average Daily Attendance as
5 provided in subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph
6 (1).
7         (a) In districts that do not hold year-round classes,
8     days of attendance in August shall be added to the month of
9     September and any days of attendance in June shall be added
10     to the month of May.
11         (b) In districts in which all buildings hold year-round
12     classes, days of attendance in July and August shall be
13     added to the month of September and any days of attendance
14     in June shall be added to the month of May.
15         (c) In districts in which some buildings, but not all,
16     hold year-round classes, for the non-year-round buildings,
17     days of attendance in August shall be added to the month of
18     September and any days of attendance in June shall be added
19     to the month of May. The average daily attendance for the
20     year-round buildings shall be computed as provided in
21     subdivision (b) of this paragraph (1). To calculate the
22     Average Daily Attendance for the district, the average
23     daily attendance for the year-round buildings shall be
24     multiplied by the days in session for the non-year-round
25     buildings for each month and added to the monthly
26     attendance of the non-year-round buildings.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 396 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of

4 supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or
5 volunteer personnel when engaging in non-teaching duties and
6 supervising in those instances specified in subsection (a) of
7 Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18, with pupils
8 of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1 through
9 12.
10     Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited
11 only to the districts that pay the tuition to a recognized
12 school.
13     (2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours
14 of school shall be subject to the following provisions in the
15 compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
16         (a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for
17     only a part of the school day may be counted on the basis
18     of 1/6 day for every class hour of instruction of 40
19     minutes or more attended pursuant to such enrollment,
20     unless a pupil is enrolled in a block-schedule format of 80
21     minutes or more of instruction, in which case the pupil may
22     be counted on the basis of the proportion of minutes of
23     school work completed each day to the minimum number of
24     minutes that school work is required to be held that day.
25         (b) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours
26     on the opening and closing of the school term, and upon the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 397 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     first day of pupil attendance, if preceded by a day or days
2     utilized as an institute or teachers' workshop.
3         (c) A session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted
4     as a day of attendance upon certification by the regional
5     superintendent, and approved by the State Superintendent
6     of Education to the extent that the district has been
7     forced to use daily multiple sessions.
8         (d) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted
9     as a day of attendance (1) when the remainder of the school
10     day or at least 2 hours in the evening of that day is
11     utilized for an in-service training program for teachers,
12     up to a maximum of 5 days per school year of which a
13     maximum of 4 days of such 5 days may be used for
14     parent-teacher conferences, provided a district conducts
15     an in-service training program for teachers which has been
16     approved by the State Superintendent of Education; or, in
17     lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may be used, in which
18     event each such day may be counted as a day of attendance;
19     and (2) when days in addition to those provided in item (1)
20     are scheduled by a school pursuant to its school
21     improvement plan adopted under Article 34 or its revised or
22     amended school improvement plan adopted under Article 2,
23     provided that (i) such sessions of 3 or more clock hours
24     are scheduled to occur at regular intervals, (ii) the
25     remainder of the school days in which such sessions occur
26     are utilized for in-service training programs or other

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 398 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     staff development activities for teachers, and (iii) a
2     sufficient number of minutes of school work under the
3     direct supervision of teachers are added to the school days
4     between such regularly scheduled sessions to accumulate
5     not less than the number of minutes by which such sessions
6     of 3 or more clock hours fall short of 5 clock hours. Any
7     full days used for the purposes of this paragraph shall not
8     be considered for computing average daily attendance. Days
9     scheduled for in-service training programs, staff
10     development activities, or parent-teacher conferences may
11     be scheduled separately for different grade levels and
12     different attendance centers of the district.
13         (e) A session of not less than one clock hour of
14     teaching hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by
15     telephone to the classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of
16     attendance, however these pupils must receive 4 or more
17     clock hours of instruction to be counted for a full day of
18     attendance.
19         (f) A session of at least 4 clock hours may be counted
20     as a day of attendance for first grade pupils, and pupils
21     in full day kindergartens, and a session of 2 or more hours
22     may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance by pupils in
23     kindergartens which provide only 1/2 day of attendance.
24         (g) For children with disabilities who are below the
25     age of 6 years and who cannot attend 2 or more clock hours
26     because of their disability or immaturity, a session of not

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 399 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     less than one clock hour may be counted as 1/2 day of
2     attendance; however for such children whose educational
3     needs so require a session of 4 or more clock hours may be
4     counted as a full day of attendance.
5         (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only
6     1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more
7     than 1/2 day of attendance counted in any one day. However,
8     kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5
9     consecutive school days. When a pupil attends such a
10     kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, the
11     pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from
12     school, unless the school district obtains permission in
13     writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
14     Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of
15     attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as
16     attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of
17     attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted, except in
18     case of children who entered the kindergarten in their
19     fifth year whose educational development requires a second
20     year of kindergarten as determined under the rules and
21     regulations of the State Board of Education.
22         (i) On the days when the Prairie State Achievement
23     Examination is administered under subsection (c) of
24     Section 2-3.64 of this Code, the day of attendance for a
25     pupil whose school day must be shortened to accommodate
26     required testing procedures may be less than 5 clock hours

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 400 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     and shall be counted towards the 176 days of actual pupil
2     attendance required under Section 10-19 of this Code,
3     provided that a sufficient number of minutes of school work
4     in excess of 5 clock hours are first completed on other
5     school days to compensate for the loss of school work on
6     the examination days.
 
7 (G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
8     (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local
9 Resources required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board
10 of Education shall secure from the Department of Revenue the
11 value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of
12 all taxable property of every school district, together with
13 (i) the applicable tax rate used in extending taxes for the
14 funds of the district as of September 30 of the previous year
15 and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to
16 property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
17 Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
18     The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized
19 assessed value of all taxable property of each school district
20 situated entirely or partially within a county that is or was
21 subject to the provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
22 Property Tax Code (a) an amount equal to the total amount by
23 which the homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or
24 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real property situated in
25 that school district exceeds the total amount that would have

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 401 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 been allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction
2 under Section 15-176 was (i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in
3 all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all
4 counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount
5 equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all
6 additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
7 Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The
8 county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
9 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
10 shall annually calculate and certify to the Department of
11 Revenue for each school district all homestead exemption
12 amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
13 and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175
14 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of
15 $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the
16 general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is
17 determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax
18 Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
19 Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
20 difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead
21 exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section
22 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that
23 would have been allowed had the general homestead exemption for
24 that parcel of property been determined under Section 15-175 of
25 the Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
26 paragraph that if additional exemptions are allowed under

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 402 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a
2 household income of less than $30,000, then the calculation of
3 Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
4 difference, if any, because of those additional exemptions.
5     This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by
6 the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the
7 calculation of Available Local Resources.
8     (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall
9 be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
10         (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under
11     this Section, with respect to any part of a school district
12     within a redevelopment project area in respect to which a
13     municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
14     financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
15     Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11
16     of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs
17     Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the
18     Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized
19     assessed valuation of real property located in any such
20     project area which is attributable to an increase above the
21     total initial equalized assessed valuation of such
22     property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed
23     valuation of the district, until such time as all
24     redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
25     Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation
26     Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 403 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
2     equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
3     initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
4     equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
5     used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
6     have been paid.
7         (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
8     a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
9     real property value as equalized or assessed by the
10     Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
11     by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
12     Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
13     district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
14     2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
15     through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9
16     through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
17     the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
18     of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
19     percentage rates for district type as specified in this
20     subparagraph (b).
21     (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year
22 thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
23 this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
24 Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the
25 district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation
26 as calculated under this subsection (G)(3).

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 404 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms
2 shall have the following meanings:
3         "Budget Year": The school year for which general State
4     aid is calculated and awarded under subsection (E).
5         "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to
6     calculate the Budget Year allocation of general State aid.
7         "Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year
8     immediately preceding the Base Tax Year.
9         "Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the
10     equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk
11     in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the limiting rate as
12     calculated by the County Clerk and defined in the Property
13     Tax Extension Limitation Law.
14         "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of
15     the equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County
16     Clerk in the Preceding Tax Year multiplied by the Operating
17     Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A).
18         "Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio,
19     certified by the County Clerk, in which the numerator is
20     the Base Tax Year's Tax Extension and the denominator is
21     the Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension.
22         "Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined
23     in subsection (A).
24     If a school district is subject to property tax extension
25 limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension
26 Limitation Law, the State Board of Education shall calculate

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 405 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that
2 district. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Extension
3 Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
4 calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to
5 the product of the district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation
6 and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. For the
7 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter, the
8 Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school
9 district as calculated by the State Board of Education shall be
10 equal to the product of the Equalized Assessed Valuation last
11 used in the calculation of general State aid and the district's
12 Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension Limitation
13 Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as calculated
14 under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the district's
15 equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant to
16 subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of calculating
17 the district's general State aid for the Budget Year pursuant
18 to subsection (E), that Extension Limitation Equalized
19 Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the
20 district's Available Local Resources under subsection (D).
21     Partial elementary unit districts created in accordance
22 with Article 11E of this Code shall not be eligible for the
23 adjustment in this subsection (G)(3) until the fifth year
24 following the effective date of the reorganization.
25     (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for
26 the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 406 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed
2 valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid
3 apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
4 Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized
5 Assessed Valuation that would have been used to calculate the
6 district's 1998-1999 general State aid. This amount shall equal
7 the product of the equalized assessed valuation used to
8 calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and
9 the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
10 Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district
11 as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the
12 district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in
13 calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid
14 allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's
15 general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of subsection (E),
16 that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall
17 be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local
18 Resources.
19     (5) For school districts having a majority of their
20 equalized assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage,
21 Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State
22 aid allocated to the school district for the 1999-2000 school
23 year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of
24 this Section is less than the amount of general State aid
25 allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school year under
26 these subsections, then the general State aid of the district

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 407 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the
2 difference between these amounts. The total payments made under
3 this paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall
4 be prorated if they exceed $14,000,000.
 
5 (H) Supplemental General State Aid.
6     (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district
7 is allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school
8 districts shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a
9 district's payments of general State aid, for supplemental
10 general State aid based upon the concentration level of
11 children from low-income households within the school
12 district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school
13 districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for
14 distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
15 in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
16 appropriated under this Section. If the appropriation in any
17 fiscal year for general State aid and supplemental general
18 State aid is insufficient to pay the amounts required under the
19 general State aid and supplemental general State aid
20 calculations, then the State Board of Education shall ensure
21 that each school district receives the full amount due for
22 general State aid and the remainder of the appropriation shall
23 be used for supplemental general State aid, which the State
24 Board of Education shall calculate and pay to eligible
25 districts on a prorated basis.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 408 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1     (1.5) This paragraph (1.5) applies only to those school
2 years preceding the 2003-2004 school year. For purposes of this
3 subsection (H), the term "Low-Income Concentration Level"
4 shall be the low-income eligible pupil count from the most
5 recently available federal census divided by the Average Daily
6 Attendance of the school district. If, however, (i) the
7 percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal censuses in
8 the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district
9 with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the
10 percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil count
11 of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
12 are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
13 school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
14 school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
15 high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most
16 recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count
17 and there is a percentage increase in the total low-income
18 eligible pupil count of a majority of the elementary school
19 districts in excess of 50% from the 2 most recent federal
20 censuses, then the high school district's low-income eligible
21 pupil count from the earlier federal census shall be the number
22 used as the low-income eligible pupil count for the high school
23 district, for purposes of this subsection (H). The changes made
24 to this paragraph (1) by Public Act 92-28 shall apply to
25 supplemental general State aid grants for school years
26 preceding the 2003-2004 school year that are paid in fiscal

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 409 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 year 1999 or thereafter and to any State aid payments made in
2 fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 pursuant to
3 subsection 1(n) of Section 18-8 of this Code (which was
4 repealed on July 1, 1998), and any high school district that is
5 affected by Public Act 92-28 is entitled to a recomputation of
6 its supplemental general State aid grant or State aid paid in
7 any of those fiscal years. This recomputation shall not be
8 affected by any other funding.
9     (1.10) This paragraph (1.10) applies to the 2003-2004
10 school year and each school year thereafter. For purposes of
11 this subsection (H), the term "Low-Income Concentration Level"
12 shall, for each fiscal year, be the low-income eligible pupil
13 count as of July 1 of the immediately preceding fiscal year (as
14 determined by the Department of Human Services based on the
15 number of pupils who are eligible for at least one of the
16 following low income programs: Medicaid, KidCare, TANF, or Food

12 respective appointments and expire on the third Monday of
13 January, 2001, and 2 of their number to serve for terms that

23 person to fill that membership for the unexpired term. If the
24 Senate is not in session when the initial appointments are
25 made, those appointments shall be made as in the case of
26 vacancies.

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 423 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

9     The State Board of Education shall provide such staff
10 assistance to the Education Funding Advisory Board as is
11 reasonably required for the proper performance by the Board of
12 its responsibilities.

14 Education Funding Advisory Board, in consultation with the
15 State Board of Education, shall make recommendations as

23 low-spending schools exhibiting high academic performance. The
24 Education Funding Advisory Board shall make such
25 recommendations to the General Assembly on January 1 of odd
26 numbered years, beginning January 1, 2001.

5 insurability, coverage for reasonable and necessary treatment
6 and services for mental, emotional or nervous disorders or
7 conditions, other than serious mental illnesses as defined in
8 item (2) of subsection (b), up to the limits provided in the
9 policy for other disorders or conditions, except (i) the

11 as a result of the treatment or services, and (ii) the annual
12 benefit limit may be limited to the lesser of $10,000 or 25% of

16 physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches,
17 licensed clinical psychologist, licensed clinical social
18 worker, licensed clinical professional counselor, or licensed
19 marriage and family therapist of his choice to treat such
20 disorders, and the insurer shall pay the covered charges of

9 persons who may provide services to individuals shall do so
10 after the licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical
11 professional counselor, or licensed marriage and family
12 therapist has informed the patient of the desirability of the
13 patient conferring with the patient's primary care physician
14 and the licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical
15 professional counselor, or licensed marriage and family
16 therapist has provided written notification to the patient's
17 primary care physician, if any, that services are being
18 provided to the patient. That notification may, however, be
19 waived by the patient on a written form. Those forms shall be
20 retained by the licensed clinical social worker, licensed
21 clinical professional counselor, or licensed marriage and
22 family therapist for a period of not less than 5 years.
23     (b) (1) An insurer that provides coverage for hospital or
24 medical expenses under a group policy of accident and health
25 insurance or health care plan amended, delivered, issued, or
26 renewed after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 448 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 92nd General Assembly shall provide coverage under the policy
2 for treatment of serious mental illness under the same terms
3 and conditions as coverage for hospital or medical expenses
4 related to other illnesses and diseases. The coverage required
5 under this Section must provide for same durational limits,
6 amount limits, deductibles, and co-insurance requirements for
7 serious mental illness as are provided for other illnesses and
8 diseases. This subsection does not apply to coverage provided
9 to employees by employers who have 50 or fewer employees.
10     (2) "Serious mental illness" means the following
11 psychiatric illnesses as defined in the most current edition of
12 the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) published by the
13 American Psychiatric Association:
14         (A) schizophrenia;
15         (B) paranoid and other psychotic disorders;
16         (C) bipolar disorders (hypomanic, manic, depressive,
17     and mixed);
18         (D) major depressive disorders (single episode or
19     recurrent);
20         (E) schizoaffective disorders (bipolar or depressive);
21         (F) pervasive developmental disorders;
22         (G) obsessive-compulsive disorders;
23         (H) depression in childhood and adolescence;
24         (I) panic disorder;
25         (J) post-traumatic stress disorders (acute, chronic,
26     or with delayed onset); and

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 449 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         (K) anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
2     (3) Upon request of the reimbursing insurer, a provider of
3 treatment of serious mental illness shall furnish medical
4 records or other necessary data that substantiate that initial
5 or continued treatment is at all times medically necessary. An
6 insurer shall provide a mechanism for the timely review by a
7 provider holding the same license and practicing in the same
8 specialty as the patient's provider, who is unaffiliated with
9 the insurer, jointly selected by the patient (or the patient's
10 next of kin or legal representative if the patient is unable to
11 act for himself or herself), the patient's provider, and the
12 insurer in the event of a dispute between the insurer and
13 patient's provider regarding the medical necessity of a
14 treatment proposed by a patient's provider. If the reviewing
15 provider determines the treatment to be medically necessary,
16 the insurer shall provide reimbursement for the treatment.
17 Future contractual or employment actions by the insurer
18 regarding the patient's provider may not be based on the
19 provider's participation in this procedure. Nothing prevents
20 the insured from agreeing in writing to continue treatment at
21 his or her expense. When making a determination of the medical
22 necessity for a treatment modality for serous mental illness,
23 an insurer must make the determination in a manner that is
24 consistent with the manner used to make that determination with
25 respect to other diseases or illnesses covered under the
26 policy, including an appeals process.

1     (4) A group health benefit plan:
2         (A) shall provide coverage based upon medical
3     necessity for the following treatment of mental illness in
4     each calendar year:
5             (i) 45 days of inpatient treatment; and
6             (ii) beginning on June 26, 2006 (the effective date
7         of Public Act 94-921), 60 visits for outpatient
8         treatment including group and individual outpatient
9         treatment; and
10             (iii) for plans or policies delivered, issued for
11         delivery, renewed, or modified after January 1, 2007
12         (the effective date of Public Act 94-906), 20
13         additional outpatient visits for speech therapy for
14         treatment of pervasive developmental disorders that
15         will be in addition to speech therapy provided pursuant
16         to item (ii) of this subparagraph (A);
17         (B) may not include a lifetime limit on the number of
18     days of inpatient treatment or the number of outpatient
19     visits covered under the plan; and
20         (C) shall include the same amount limits, deductibles,
21     copayments, and coinsurance factors for serious mental
22     illness as for physical illness.
23     (5) An issuer of a group health benefit plan may not count
24 toward the number of outpatient visits required to be covered
25 under this Section an outpatient visit for the purpose of
26 medication management and shall cover the outpatient visits

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 451 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 under the same terms and conditions as it covers outpatient
2 visits for the treatment of physical illness.
3     (6) An issuer of a group health benefit plan may provide or
4 offer coverage required under this Section through a managed
5 care plan.
6     (7) This Section shall not be interpreted to require a
7 group health benefit plan to provide coverage for treatment of:
8         (A) an addiction to a controlled substance or cannabis
9     that is used in violation of law; or
10         (B) mental illness resulting from the use of a
11     controlled substance or cannabis in violation of law.

9 funding for:
10         (1) the coverage of families with eligible children
11     under this Act; and
12         (2) for the coverage of children who would otherwise be
13     eligible under this Act, but who have health insurance.
14     (b) The failure of the responsible federal agency to
15 approve a waiver for children who would otherwise be eligible

17 the implementation of any Section of this Act provided that
18 there are sufficient appropriated funds.

11 by the Department on such person's behalf that were

1     Sec. 5-403. (1) Authorized representatives of the
2 Secretary of State including officers of the Secretary of
3 State's Department of Police, other peace officers, and such
4 other individuals as the Secretary may designate from time to
5 time shall make inspections of individuals and facilities
6 licensed or required to be licensed under Chapter 5 of the
7 Illinois Vehicle Code for the purpose of reviewing records
8 required to be maintained under Chapter 5 for accuracy and
9 completeness and reviewing and examining the premises of the
10 licensee's established or additional place of business for the
11 purpose of determining the accuracy of the required records.
12 Premises that may be inspected in order to determine the
13 accuracy of the books and records required to be kept includes
14 all premises used by the licensee to store vehicles and parts
15 that are reflected by the required books and records.
16     (2) Persons having knowledge of or conducting inspections
17 pursuant to this Chapter shall not in advance of such
18 inspections knowingly notify a licensee or representative of a
19 licensee of the contemplated inspection unless the Secretary or
20 an individual designated by him for this purpose authorizes
21 such notification. Any individual who, without authorization,
22 knowingly violates this subparagraph shall be guilty of a Class
23 A misdemeanor.
24     (3) The licensee or a representative of the licensee shall
25 be entitled to be present during an inspection conducted
26 pursuant to Chapter 5, however, the presence of the licensee or

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 548 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 an authorized representative of the licensee is not a condition
2 precedent to such an inspection.
3     (4) Inspection conducted pursuant to Chapter 5 may be
4 initiated at any time that business is being conducted or work
5 is being performed, whether or not open to the public or when
6 the licensee or a representative of the licensee, other than a
7 mere custodian or watchman, is present. The fact that a
8 licensee or representative of the licensee leaves the licensed
9 premises after an inspection has been initiated shall not
10 require the termination of the inspection.
11     (5) Any inspection conducted pursuant to Chapter 5 shall
12 not continue for more than 24 hours after initiation.
13     (6) In the event information comes to the attention of the
14 individuals conducting an inspection that may give rise to the
15 necessity of obtaining a search warrant, and in the event steps
16 are initiated for the procurement of a search warrant, the
17 individuals conducting such inspection may take all necessary
18 steps to secure the premises under inspection until the warrant
19 application is acted upon by a judicial officer.
20     (7) No more than 6 inspections of a premises may be
21 conducted pursuant to Chapter 5 within any 6 month period
22 except pursuant to a search warrant. Notwithstanding this
23 limitation, nothing in this subparagraph (7) shall be construed
24 to limit the authority of law enforcement agents to respond to
25 public complaints of violations of the Code. For the purpose of
26 this subparagraph (7), a public complaint is one in which the

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 549 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 complainant identifies himself or herself and sets forth, in
2 writing, the specific basis for their complaint against the
3 licensee. For the purpose of this subparagraph (7), the
4 inspection of records pertaining only to recyclable metals, as
5 provided in subdivision (a)(5) of Section 5-401.3 of this Code,
6 shall not be counted as an inspection of a premises.
7     (8) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the
8 authority of individuals by the Secretary pursuant to this
9 Section to conduct searches of licensees pursuant to a duly
10 issued and authorized search warrant.
11     (9) Any licensee who, having been informed by a person
12 authorized to make inspections and examine records under this
13 Section that he desires to inspect records and the licensee's
14 premises as authorized by this Section, refuses either to
15 produce for that person records required to be kept by this
16 Chapter or to permit such authorized person to make an
17 inspection of the premises in accordance with this Section
18 shall subject the license to immediate suspension by the
19 Secretary of State.
20     (10) Beginning July 1, 1988, any person referenced under
21 Section 5-302 shall produce for inspection upon demand those
22 records pertaining to the acquisition of salvage vehicles in
23 this State.

5         because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal

14     of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed
15     $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the
16     amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating
17     to these fees.
18         (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for

24         (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
25     restricted driving permit for a period he deems

1     year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
2     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
3     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
4     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
5     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
6     any similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the

9     similar out-of-state offense, or any combination of these
10     offenses, until the expiration of at least one year from
11     the date of the revocation. A restricted driving permit
12     issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
13     revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
14     like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
15     under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
16     except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
17     laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall
18     be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
19     or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The
20     Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
21     restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
22     participate in a designated driver remedial or
23     rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is

1     revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)
2     of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
3     issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
4     revocation period.
5     (c-5) The Secretary may not issue a restricted driving
6 permit to any person who has been convicted of a second or
7 subsequent violation of Section 6-303 of this Code committed
8 while his or her driver's license, permit, or privilege was
9 revoked because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
10 Code of 1961, relating to the offense of reckless homicide, or
11 a similar provision of a law of another state.
12     (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
13 under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
14 local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
15 Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
16 person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
17 application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
18 person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
19 issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
20 driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
21 p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
22 one year. After this one year period, and upon reapplication
23 for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the
24 appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
25 Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may

9     other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or a
10     similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
11     offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that
12     person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
13     operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
14     ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
15         (3) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
16     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to
17     any combination of:
18             (A) a single conviction of violating Section
19         11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
20         ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
21         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
22         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of

2     a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
3     unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock
4     device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
5         (4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
6     of an interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
7     DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per
8     month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and
9     the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
10     fees.
11         (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
12     employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
13     a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
14     device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
15     vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
16     solely for employment purposes.
17         (6) A restricted driving permit issued under this
18     Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
19     suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
20     like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may
21     be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a

1     must demonstrate that no alternative means of
2     transportation is reasonably available and that the
3     petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
4     Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of
5     Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
6     for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
7              (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
8         suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating

10         local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
11         Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
12         of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
13         the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
14         combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
15         occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
16         driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
17         been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
18         defined in Section 1-129.1.
19             (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
20         suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
21         to any combination of:
22                 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
23             11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
24             local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
25             or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
26             the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 574 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1             element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
2             offense; or
3                 (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
4             Section 11-501.1; or
5                 (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
6         arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
7         issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
8         vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
9         interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
10             (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
11         use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the

13         not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall
14         establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
15         and conditions relating to these fees.
16             (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
17         employment purposes, then the prohibition against
18         operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
19         ignition interlock device does not apply to the
20         operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
21         that person's employer when used solely for employment
22         purposes.
23             (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
24         restricted driving permit for a period deemed
25         appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
26         within one year from the date of issuance. The

 

 

SB1549 Engrossed - 575 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1         Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
2         permit to any person whose current revocation is the
3         result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
4         violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
5         provision of a local ordinance or any similar
6         out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
7         Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
8         is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
9         out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
10         offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
11         from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
12         permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
13         cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
14         Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
15         a driver's license issued under this Code may be
16         cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
17         conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
18         ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
19         deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
20         suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
21         permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
22         the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
23         the applicant to participate in a designated driver
24         remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
25         State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
26         permit if the permit holder does not successfully

6 only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
7 the driver licensing administrator of any other state, or the
8 Secretary of State. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the

12 driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
13 request.
14     (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
15 subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
16 by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
17 will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
18 the notice.
19     (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the

11     Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
12 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly

16 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
17 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
18 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
19 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
20 supervision.
21     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other

SB1549 Engrossed - 714 - LRB096 03048 NHT 13063 b

1 the court is of the opinion that:
2         (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
3     necessary for the protection of the public; or
4         (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
5     the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
6     inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
7         (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
8     consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
9     into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
10     Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
11     public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
12     The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
13 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
14 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
15 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
16 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
17 sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
18 subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
19     (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
20 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
21 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
22 nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
23     (b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
24 to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
25 Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of

1 months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
2 or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide
3 under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
4     (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
5 by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
6 finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
7 of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
8 defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
9 misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
10 Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5;

13 (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of
14 Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals
15 Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not barred from
16 receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
17 subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
18 considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
19 character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the
20 opinion that:
21         (1) the offender is not likely to commit further
22     crimes;
23         (2) the defendant and the public would be best served
24     if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
25         (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
26     supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise

14 the amount collected as a probation fee, up to $5 of that fee
15 collected per month may be used to provide services to crime
16 victims and their families.
17     This amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly deletes
18 the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was
19 imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to
20 control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that
21 retains or incorporates that fee increase.
22     (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
23 of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a

21 the chief judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
22 offender's ability to pay, under guidelines developed by the
23 Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts; and (2) the

6 the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was
7 imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to
8 control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that
9 retains or incorporates that fee increase.

11 of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a

3 suggest that a borrower contact any specific mortgage
4 origination company, financial institution, or entity that

23     and the counselor submits all required information to the
24     database in accordance with subsection (d).
25     (f) Within 10 days after closing, the title insurance
26 company or closing agent must submit to the predatory lending

3     (g) The title insurance company or closing agent shall
4 attach to the mortgage a certificate of compliance with the
5 requirements of this Article, as generated by the database. If
6 the title insurance company or closing agent fails to attach
7 the certificate of compliance, then the mortgage is not
8 recordable. In addition, if any lis pendens for a residential
9 mortgage foreclosure is recorded on the property within the
10 program area, a certificate of service must be simultaneously
11 recorded that affirms that a copy of the lis pendens was filed
12 with the Department. If the certificate of service is not
13 recorded, then the lis pendens pertaining to the residential
14 mortgage foreclosure in question is not recordable and is of no
15 force and effect.
16     (h) All information provided to the predatory lending
17 database under the program is confidential and is not subject
18 to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, except as

13 proceed with a transaction.

15 commits an unlawful practice within the meaning of the Consumer
16 Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

6     (d) Every employer of hotel room attendants shall make

6 business reason.
