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

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 In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section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16 incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the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

11     (5 ILCS 140/6)  (from Ch. 116, par. 206)
12     Sec. 6. Authority to charge fees.
13     (a) When a person requests a copy of a record maintained in
14 an electronic format, the public body shall furnish it in the
15 electronic format specified by the requester, if feasible. If
16 it is not feasible to furnish the public records in the
17 specified electronic format, then the public body shall furnish
18 it in the format in which it is maintained by the public body,
19 or in paper format at the option of the requester. A public
20 body may charge the requester for the actual cost of purchasing
21 the recording medium, whether disc, diskette, tape, or other

SB3733 - 9 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 provides, statutory fees applicable to copies of public records
2 when furnished in a paper format shall not be applicable to
3 those records when furnished in an electronic format.
4     (b) Except when a fee is otherwise fixed by statute, each
5 public body may charge fees reasonably calculated to reimburse
6 its actual cost for reproducing and certifying public records
7 and for the use, by any person, of the equipment of the public
8 body to copy records. No fees shall be charged for the first 50
9 pages of black and white, letter or legal sized copies
10 requested by a requester. The fee for black and white, letter
11 or legal sized copies shall not exceed 15 cents per page. If a
12 public body provides copies in color or in a size other than
13 letter or legal, the public body may not charge more than its
14 actual cost for reproducing the records. In calculating its
15 actual cost for reproducing records or for the use of the
16 equipment of the public body to reproduce records, a public
17 body shall not include the costs of any search for and review
18 of the records or other personnel costs associated with
19 reproducing the records. Such fees shall be imposed according
20 to a standard scale of fees, established and made public by the
21 body imposing them. The cost for certifying a record shall not
22 exceed $1.
23     (c) Documents shall be furnished without charge or at a
24 reduced charge, as determined by the public body, if the person
25 requesting the documents states the specific purpose for the
26 request and indicates that a waiver or reduction of the fee is

 

 

SB3733 - 10 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 in the public interest. Waiver or reduction of the fee is in
2 the public interest if the principal purpose of the request is
3 to access and disseminate information regarding the health,
4 safety and welfare or the legal rights of the general public
5 and is not for the principal purpose of personal or commercial
6 benefit. For purposes of this subsection, "commercial benefit"
7 shall not apply to requests made by news media when the
8 principal purpose of the request is to access and disseminate
9 information regarding the health, safety, and welfare or the
10 legal rights of the general public. In setting the amount of
11 the waiver or reduction, the public body may take into
12 consideration the amount of materials requested and the cost of
13 copying them.
14     (d) The imposition of a fee not consistent with subsections
15 (6)(a) and (b) of this Act constitutes a denial of access to
16 public records for the purposes of judicial review.
17     (e) (d) The fee for each abstract of a driver's record
18 shall be as provided in Section 6-118 of "The Illinois Vehicle
19 Code", approved September 29, 1969, as amended, whether
20 furnished as a paper copy or as an electronic copy.

5 aforesaid to be utilized by the State Board of Elections in
6 calculating the number of delegates and alternates to be
7 elected from each congressional district in the State at large
8 or State convention, as the case may be.
9     Alternative A: The State Board of Elections shall allocate
10 the number of delegates and alternate delegates to which the
11 State is entitled among the congressional districts in the
12 State.
13     1. Of the number of delegates to which the State is
14 entitled, 10, plus those remaining unallocated under paragraph
15 2, shall be delegates at large. The State central committee of
16 the appropriate political party shall determine whether the
17 delegates at large shall be (a) elected in the primary from the
18 State at large, (b) selected by the State convention, or (c)
19 chosen by a combination of these 2 methods. If the State
20 central committee determines that all or a specified number of
21 the delegates at large shall be elected in the primary, the
22 committee shall file with the Board a report of such
23 determination at the same time it certifies the alternative it
24 wishes to use in allocating its delegates.
25     2. All delegates other than the delegates at large shall be
26 elected from the congressional districts. Two delegates shall

 

 

SB3733 - 54 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 be allocated from this number to each district. After reserving
2 10 delegates to be delegates at large and allocating 2
3 delegates to each district, the Board shall allocate the
4 remaining delegates to the congressional districts pursuant to
5 the following formula:
6         (a) For each district, the number of remaining
7     delegates shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
8     of which is the vote cast in the congressional district for
9     the party's nominee in the last Presidential election, and
10     the denominator of which is the vote cast in the State for
11     the party's nominee in the last Presidential election.
12         (b) The Board shall first allocate to each district a
13     number of delegates equal to the whole number in the
14     product resulting from the multiplication procedure in
15     subparagraph (a).
16         (c) The Board shall then allocate any remaining
17     delegates, one to each district, in the order of the
18     largest fractional remainder in the product resulting from
19     the multiplication procedure in subparagraph (a), omitting
20     those districts for which that product is less than 1.875.
21         (d) The Board shall then allocate any remaining
22     delegates, one to each district, in the order of the
23     largest fractional remainder in the product resulting from
24     the multiplication procedure in subparagraph (a), among
25     those districts for which that product is at least one but
26     less than 1.875.

 

 

SB3733 - 55 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (e) Any delegates remaining unallocated shall be
2     delegates at large and shall be selected as determined by
3     the State central committee under paragraph 1 of this
4     Alternative A.
5     3. The alternate delegates at large shall be allocated in
6 the same manner as the delegates at large. The alternate
7 delegates other than the alternate delegates at large shall be
8 allocated in the same manner as the delegates other than the
9 delegates at large.
10     Alternative B: the chairman of the State central committee
11 shall file with the State Board of Elections a statement of the
12 number of delegates and alternate delegates to which the State
13 is entitled and the number of such delegates and alternate
14 delegates to be elected from congressional districts. The State
15 Board of Elections shall allocate such number of delegates and
16 alternate delegates, as the case may be, among the
17 congressional districts in the State for election from the
18 congressional districts.
19     The Board shall utilize the sum of 1/3 of each of the
20 following formulae to determine the number of delegates and
21 alternate delegates, as the case may be, to be elected from
22 each congressional district:
23     (1) Formula 1 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs
24 (a) a, (b), b and (c) c together as follows:
25         (a) The fraction derived by dividing the population of
26     the district by the population of the State and adding to

 

 

SB3733 - 56 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     that fraction the following: 1/2 of the fraction calculated
2     by dividing the total district vote for the party's
3     candidate in the most recent presidential election by the
4     total statewide vote for that candidate in that election,
5     plus 1/2 of the fraction calculated by dividing the total
6     district vote for the party's candidate in the second most
7     recent Presidential election by the total statewide vote
8     for that candidate in that election;
9         (b) 1/2;
10         (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as
11     the case may be, to which the State is entitled at the
12     party's national nominating convention.
13     (2) Formula 2 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs
14 (a) a, (b), b and (c) c together as follows:
15         (a) The fraction calculated by dividing the total
16     numbers of votes in the district for the party's candidate
17     in the most recent Gubernatorial election by the total
18     statewide vote for that candidate in that election, plus,
19     the fraction calculated by dividing the total district vote
20     for the party's candidate in the most recent presidential
21     election by the total statewide vote for that candidate in
22     that election; .
23         (b) 1/2;
24         (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as
25     the case may be, to which the State is entitled at the
26     party's national nominating convention.

 

 

SB3733 - 57 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (3) Formula 3 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs
2 (a) a, (b), b and (c) c together as follows:
3         (a) 1/2 of the fraction calculated by dividing the
4     total district vote for the party's candidate in the most
5     recent presidential election by the total statewide vote
6     for that candidate in that election, plus 1/2 of the
7     fraction calculated by dividing the total district vote for
8     the party's candidate in the second most recent
9     presidential election by the total statewide vote for that
10     candidate in that election. This sum shall be added to the
11     fraction calculated by dividing the total voter
12     registration of the party in the district by the total
13     voter registration of the party in the State as of January
14     1 of the year prior to the year in which the national
15     nominating convention is held;
16         (b) 1/2;
17         (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as
18     the case may be, to which the State is entitled at the
19     party's national nominating convention.
20     Fractional numbers of delegates and alternate delegates
21 shall be rounded upward in rank order to the next whole number,
22 largest fraction first, until the total number of delegates and
23 alternate delegates, respectively, to be so chosen have been
24 allocated.
25     The remainder of the delegates and alternate delegates
26 shall be selected as determined by the State central committee

 

 

SB3733 - 58 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of the party and shall be certified to the State Board of
2 Elections by the chairman of the State central committee.
3     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
4 with respect to all aspects of the selection of delegates and
5 alternate delegates to a national nominating convention under
6 Alternative B, this Code shall be superseded superceded by the
7 delegate selection rules and policies of the national political
8 party including, but not limited to, the development of an
9 affirmative action plan.

SB3733 - 62 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (15 ILCS 20/50-5)
2     Sec. 50-5. Governor to submit State budget. The Governor
3 shall, as soon as possible and not later than the third
4 Wednesday in March in 2009 (March 18, 2009) and the third
5 Wednesday in February of each year beginning in 2010, except as
6 otherwise provided in this Section, submit a State budget,
7 embracing therein the amounts recommended by the Governor to be
8 appropriated to the respective departments, offices, and
9 institutions, and for all other public purposes, the estimated
10 revenues from taxation, the estimated revenues from sources
11 other than taxation, and an estimate of the amount required to
12 be raised by taxation. The amounts recommended by the Governor
13 for appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
14 institutions shall be formulated according to the various
15 functions and activities for which the respective department,
16 office or institution of the State government (including the
17 elective officers in the executive department and including the
18 University of Illinois and the judicial department) is
19 responsible. The amounts relating to particular functions and

21 object classification specified in Section 13 of the State
22 Finance Act.
23     The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General
24 Assembly shall not enact appropriations that exceed the
25 resources estimated to be available, as provided in this

 

 

SB3733 - 63 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Section.
2     For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
3 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds
4 shall be prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure
5 measurement concepts that are in concert with generally
6 accepted accounting principles for governments:
7         (1) General Revenue Fund.
8         (2) Common School Fund.
9         (3) Educational Assistance Fund.
10         (4) Road Fund.
11         (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
12         (6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
13     These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The
14 revenue estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted
15 funds shall include the estimated beginning fund balance, plus
16 revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year,
17 plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30 of the
18 budgeted year that are expected to be collected during the
19 lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the receipts
20 collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that
21 became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
22 Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
23 associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State
24 Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund for which
25 current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures,
26 the surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for

 

 

SB3733 - 64 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.
2     Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
3 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by the
4 State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next fiscal
5 year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year which were
6 carried over from the prior year, where the payment is
7 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
8 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
9 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
10 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
11     Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
12 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
13 incurred during the budget year.
14     Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
15 anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations
16 that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal
17 year.
18     By March 15 of each year, the Commission on Government
19 Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare revenue and fund
20 transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
21 Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and
22 the Governor.
23     For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
24 expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
25 for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation for a
26 fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General

4     Section 45. The Attorney General Act is amended by changing
5 Section 7 as follows:
 
6     (15 ILCS 205/7)
7     Sec. 7. Public Access Counselor.
8     (a) The General Assembly finds that members of the public
9 have encountered obstacles in obtaining copies of public
10 records from units of government, and that many of those
11 obstacles result from difficulties that both members of the
12 public and public bodies have had in interpreting and applying
13 the Freedom of Information Act. The General Assembly further
14 finds that members of the public have encountered difficulties
15 in resolving alleged violations of the Open Meetings Act. The
16 public's significant interest in access to public records and
17 in open meetings would be better served if there were a central
18 office available to provide advice and education with respect
19 to the interpretation and implementation of the Freedom of
20 Information Act and the Open Meetings Act.
21     (b) Therefore, there is created in the Office of the
22 Attorney General the Office of Public Access Counselor. The
23 Attorney General shall appoint a Public Access Counselor, who
24 shall be an attorney licensed to practice in Illinois. The

 

 

SB3733 - 66 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Public Access Counselor's Office shall be comprised of the
2 Public Access Counselor and such assistant attorneys general
3 and other staff as are deemed necessary by the Attorney
4 General.
5     (c) Through the Public Access Counselor, the Attorney
6 General shall have the power:
7         (1) to establish and administer a program to provide
8     free training for public officials and to educate the
9     public on the rights of the public and the responsibilities
10     of public bodies under the Freedom of Information Act and
11     the Open Meetings Act;
12         (2) to prepare and distribute interpretive or
13     educational materials and programs;
14         (3) to resolve disputes involving a potential
15     violation of the Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of
16     Information Act in response to a request for review
17     initiated by an aggrieved party, as provided in those Acts,
18     by mediating or otherwise informally resolving the dispute
19     or by issuing a binding opinion; except that the Attorney
20     General may not issue an opinion concerning a specific
21     matter with respect to which a lawsuit has been filed under
22     Section 3 of the Open Meetings Act or Section 11 of the
23     Freedom of Information Act;
24         (4) to issue advisory opinions with respect to the Open
25     Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act either in
26     response to a request for review or otherwise;

 

 

SB3733 - 67 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (5) to respond to informal inquiries made by the public
2     and public bodies;
3         (6) to conduct research on compliance issues;
4         (7) to make recommendations to the General Assembly
5     concerning ways to improve access to public records and
6     public access to the processes of government;
7         (8) to develop and make available on the Attorney
8     General's website or by other means an electronic training
9     curriculum for Freedom of Information officers;
10         (9) to develop and make available on the Attorney
11     General's website or by other means an electronic Open
12     Meetings Act training curriculum for employees, officers,
13     and members designated by public bodies;
14         (10) to prepare and distribute to public bodies model
15     policies for compliance with the Freedom of Information
16     Act; and
17         (11) to promulgate rules to implement these powers.
18     (d) To accomplish the objectives and to carry out the
19 duties prescribed by this Section, the Public Access Counselor,
20 in addition to other powers conferred upon him or her by this
21 Section, may request that subpoenas be issued by the Attorney
22 General in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 of the
23 Freedom of Information Act and Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings
24 Act. Service by the Attorney General of any subpoena upon any
25 person shall be made:
26         (1) (i) personally by delivery of a duly executed copy

 

 

SB3733 - 68 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     thereof to the person to be served, or in the case of a
2     public body, in the manner provided in Section 2-211 of the

5     copy thereof to the person to be served at his or her last
6     known abode or, in the case of a public body, to its
7     principal place of business.
8     (e) If any person or public body fails or refuses to obey
9 any subpoena issued pursuant to this Section, the Attorney
10 General may file a complaint in the circuit court to:
11         (1) (i) obtain compliance with the subpoena;
12         (2) (ii) obtain injunctive relief to prevent a
13     violation of the Open Meetings Act or Freedom of
14     Information Act; and
15         (3) (iii) obtain such other relief as may be required.
16     (f) The Attorney General has the authority to file an
17 action in the circuit court of Cook or Sangamon County for
18 injunctive or other relief to compel compliance with a binding
19 opinion issued pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings Act
20 or Section 9.5 of the Freedom of Information Act, to prevent a
21 violation of the Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of
22 Information Act, and for such other relief as may be required.
23     (g) The Attorney General shall post his or her binding
24 opinions issued pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings
25 Act or Section 9.5 of the Freedom of Information Act and any
26 rules on the official website of the Office of the Attorney

1 of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
2 facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
3 hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
4 of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
5 out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
6 reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
7     The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
8 Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
9 preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
10 child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
11 the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
12 offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
13 report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
14 prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
15 Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
16 or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
17 considered in the investigation. The Department may also
18 provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
19 any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
20 such child or family to services available from other agencies
21 in the community, even if the report is determined to be
22 unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
23 are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
24 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
25 services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
26 services to any child or family after completion of a family

1 assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
2 under the "differential response program" provided for in
3 subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
4 Child Reporting Act.
5     The Department may, at its discretion except for those
6 children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
7 care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
8 as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
9 requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
10 Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
11 be committed to the Department by any court without the
12 approval of the Department. A minor charged with a criminal
13 offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or adjudicated
14 delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or committed
15 to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor less than 15
16 years of age committed to the Department under Section 5-710 of
17 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an
18 independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists,
19 which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a minor
20 for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
21 reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
22 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
23 when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
24 dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
25 circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
26 delinquency.

1     As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
2 date of Public Act 96-134) this amendatory Act of the 96th
3 General Assembly, the Department shall develop and implement a
4 special program of family preservation services to support
5 intact, foster, and adoptive families who are experiencing
6 extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress of caring
7 for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
8 developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
9 services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
10 child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
11 or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
12 Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
13 family to services available from other agencies in the
14 community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
15 reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
16 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
17 these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
18 and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
19 social service providers and the general public about these
20 special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
21 the services offered and the number of families served under
22 the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
23 determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
24 allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
25 disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
26 including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,

1 as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
2 Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
3 Psychiatric Association.
4     (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
5 the child require that the child be placed in the most
6 permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
7 possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
8 Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
9 concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
10 earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
11 include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
12 the family when the child can be cared for at home without
13 endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
14 the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
15 is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
16 permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
17     When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
18 to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
19 reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
20 paramount concern.
21     When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
22 ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
23 prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
24 child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
25 reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
26 unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act

 

 

SB3733 - 93 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
2 Department believes that further reunification services would
3 be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
4 reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
5 not required to provide further reunification services after
6 such a finding.
7     A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
8 made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
9 best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
10 also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
11 placement made is the best available placement to provide
12 permanency for the child.
13     The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
14 planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
15 shall consider the following factors when determining
16 appropriateness of concurrent planning:
17         (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
18         (2) the past history of the family;
19         (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
20     the family;
21         (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
22         (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
23     family to reunite;
24         (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
25     provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
26         (7) the age of the child;

 

 

SB3733 - 94 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (8) placement of siblings.
2     (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
3 child if:
4         (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
5     custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
6     having custody of the child if the parents are not living
7     together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
8     the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
9         (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
10     parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
11 If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
12 guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
13 may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
14 custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
15 in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
16 custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
17 apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
18 resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
19 enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
20 health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
21 parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
22 such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
23 resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
24 home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
25 follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
26 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

 

 

SB3733 - 95 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
2 and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
3 pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
4 Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
5 pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
6 Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
7 under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
8 custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
9 and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
10 required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
11 Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
12 and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
13 subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
14 1987.
15     The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
16 custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
17 examination.
18     A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
19 custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
20 if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
21 deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
22 surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
23 may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
24 receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
25 cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
26 of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain

 

 

SB3733 - 96 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 temporary custody of the child until the court orders
2 otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10 day period,
3 the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the requesting
4 parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
5 the 10 day period, at which time the authority and duties of
6 the Department with respect to the temporary custody of the
7 child shall terminate.
8     (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
9 age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
10 that cares for children who are in need of secure living
11 arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
12 determination is made by the facility director and the Director
13 or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
14 subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
15 This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
16 to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
17 Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
18 child is a ward who was placed under the care of the Department
19 before being subject to placement in a correctional facility
20 and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered placement of
21 the child in a secure care facility.
22     (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
23 in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
24 Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
25 have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
26 safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their

 

 

SB3733 - 97 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
2 supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
3 facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
4 guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
5 Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
6 payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
7 in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
8 training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
9 average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
10 child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
11 operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
12 payments does not apply in cases where children require
13 specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
14 disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
15 combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
16 of such children are not available at payment rates within the
17 limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
18 services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
19 assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
20     (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
21 welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
22 sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
23 minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
24 subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
25 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
26 provided that the minor consents to such services and has not

 

 

SB3733 - 98 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
2 responsibility for the development and delivery of services
3 under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
4 this Section through the Department of Children and Family
5 Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
6 Youth participating in services under this Section shall
7 cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
8 agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
9 youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
10 homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
11 youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
12 Department shall continue child welfare services under this
13 Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
14 of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
15 self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
16 Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
17 readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
18 welfare services under this Section and how such services may
19 be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
20 the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
21 information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
22 describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
23 sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
24     (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
25 review and appeal process for children and families who request
26 or receive child welfare services from the Department. Children

 

 

SB3733 - 99 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 who are wards of the Department and are placed by private child
2 welfare agencies, and foster families with whom those children
3 are placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
4 rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
5 Department, including the right to an initial review of a
6 private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall
7 insure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
8 wards of the Department for placement, affords those rights to
9 children and foster families. The Department shall accept for
10 administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made by
11 (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision following an
12 initial review by a private child welfare agency or (ii) a
13 prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation of
14 subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
15 concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
16 conducted in an expedited manner.
17     (p) There is hereby created the Department of Children and
18 Family Services Emergency Assistance Fund from which the
19 Department may provide special financial assistance to
20 families which are in economic crisis when such assistance is
21 not available through other public or private sources and the
22 assistance is deemed necessary to prevent dissolution of the
23 family unit or to reunite families which have been separated
24 due to child abuse and neglect. The Department shall establish
25 administrative rules specifying the criteria for determining
26 eligibility for and the amount and nature of assistance to be

 

 

SB3733 - 100 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 provided. The Department may also enter into written agreements
2 with private and public social service agencies to provide
3 emergency financial services to families referred by the
4 Department. Special financial assistance payments shall be
5 available to a family no more than once during each fiscal year
6 and the total payments to a family may not exceed $500 during a
7 fiscal year.
8     (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
9 for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of
10 money or other property which is received on behalf of such
11 children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
12 or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
13 the Department.
14     The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
15 interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
16 institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
17 responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
18 Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
19 the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
20 payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
21 payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
22 payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
23 the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
24 subsection.
25     In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
26 Department shall:

 

 

SB3733 - 101 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
2     federal laws for disbursing money from children's
3     accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
4     "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
5     approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
6     Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
7     records of all disbursements for each account for any
8     purpose.
9         (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
10     State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
11     not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
12     utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
13     regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
14     disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
15     $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
16     General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
17     $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
18         (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
19     for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
20     The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
21     State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
22     or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
23     (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
24 encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
25 Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
26 have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a

 

 

SB3733 - 102 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 hard-to-place or handicapped child and the names of such
2 children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of such
3 names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department or
4 its agent, and coded lists which maintain the confidentiality
5 of the person seeking to adopt the child and of the child shall
6 be made available, without charge, to every adoption agency in
7 the State to assist the agencies in placing such children for
8 adoption. The Department may delegate to an agent its duty to
9 maintain and make available such lists. The Department shall
10 ensure that such agent maintains the confidentiality of the
11 person seeking to adopt the child and of the child.
12     (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
13 establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
14 private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
15 Department of Children and Family Services for damages
16 sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
17 negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
18 party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
19 of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be
20 secondary to the foster parent liability insurance policy, if
21 applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
22 from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for such
23 purposes.
24     (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
25 investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
26 as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and

 

 

SB3733 - 103 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
2         (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
3     directs the Department to perform such services; and
4         (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
5     the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
6     reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
7     with Department rules, or has determined that neither party
8     is financially able to pay.
9     The Department shall provide written notification to the
10 court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
11 and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
12 The Department shall send to the court information related to
13 the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
14 determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court
15 may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
16     (u) In addition to other information that must be provided,
17 whenever the Department places a child with a prospective
18 adoptive parent or parents or in a licensed foster home, group
19 home, child care institution, or in a relative home, the
20 Department shall provide to the prospective adoptive parent or
21 parents or other caretaker:
22         (1) available detailed information concerning the
23     child's educational and health history, copies of
24     immunization records (including insurance and medical card
25     information), a history of the child's previous
26     placements, if any, and reasons for placement changes

 

 

SB3733 - 104 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     excluding any information that identifies or reveals the
2     location of any previous caretaker;
3         (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client service
4     plan, including any visitation arrangement, and all
5     amendments or revisions to it as related to the child; and
6         (3) information containing details of the child's
7     individualized educational plan when the child is
8     receiving special education services.
9     The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or
10 behavioral information (including, but not limited to,
11 criminal background, fire setting, perpetuation of sexual
12 abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to
13 care for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently
14 in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of
15 the information required by this paragraph, which may be
16 provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in
17 advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive
18 parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file
19 in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency
20 placement, casework staff shall at least provide known
21 information verbally, if necessary, and must subsequently
22 provide the information in writing as required by this
23 subsection.
24     The information described in this subsection shall be
25 provided in writing. In the case of emergency placements when
26 time does not allow prior review, preparation, and collection

 

 

SB3733 - 105 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of written information, the Department shall provide such
2 information as it becomes available. Within 10 business days
3 after placement, the Department shall obtain from the
4 prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker a
5 signed verification of receipt of the information provided.
6 Within 10 business days after placement, the Department shall
7 provide to the child's guardian ad litem a copy of the
8 information provided to the prospective adoptive parent or
9 parents or other caretaker. The information provided to the
10 prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker shall
11 be reviewed and approved regarding accuracy at the supervisory
12 level.
13     (u-5) Effective July 1, 1995, only foster care placements
14 licensed as foster family homes pursuant to the Child Care Act
15 of 1969 shall be eligible to receive foster care payments from
16 the Department. Relative caregivers who, as of July 1, 1995,
17 were approved pursuant to approved relative placement rules
18 previously promulgated by the Department at 89 Ill. Adm. Code
19 335 and had submitted an application for licensure as a foster
20 family home may continue to receive foster care payments only
21 until the Department determines that they may be licensed as a
22 foster family home or that their application for licensure is
23 denied or until September 30, 1995, whichever occurs first.
24     (v) The Department shall access criminal history record
25 information as defined in the Illinois Uniform Conviction
26 Information Act and information maintained in the adjudicatory

 

 

SB3733 - 106 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 and dispositional record system as defined in Section 2605-355
2 of the Department of State Police Law (20 ILCS 2605/2605-355)
3 if the Department determines the information is necessary to
4 perform its duties under the Abused and Neglected Child
5 Reporting Act, the Child Care Act of 1969, and the Children and
6 Family Services Act. The Department shall provide for
7 interactive computerized communication and processing
8 equipment that permits direct on-line communication with the
9 Department of State Police's central criminal history data
10 repository. The Department shall comply with all certification
11 requirements and provide certified operators who have been
12 trained by personnel from the Department of State Police. In
13 addition, one Office of the Inspector General investigator
14 shall have training in the use of the criminal history
15 information access system and have access to the terminal. The
16 Department of Children and Family Services and its employees
17 shall abide by rules and regulations established by the
18 Department of State Police relating to the access and
19 dissemination of this information.
20     (v-1) Prior to final approval for placement of a child, the
21 Department shall conduct a criminal records background check of
22 the prospective foster or adoptive parent, including
23 fingerprint-based checks of national crime information
24 databases. Final approval for placement shall not be granted if
25 the record check reveals a felony conviction for child abuse or
26 neglect, for spousal abuse, for a crime against children, or

 

 

SB3733 - 107 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 for a crime involving violence, including rape, sexual assault,
2 or homicide, but not including other physical assault or
3 battery, or if there is a felony conviction for physical
4 assault, battery, or a drug-related offense committed within
5 the past 5 years.
6     (v-2) Prior to final approval for placement of a child, the
7 Department shall check its child abuse and neglect registry for
8 information concerning prospective foster and adoptive
9 parents, and any adult living in the home. If any prospective
10 foster or adoptive parent or other adult living in the home has
11 resided in another state in the preceding 5 years, the
12 Department shall request a check of that other state's child
13 abuse and neglect registry.
14     (w) Within 120 days of August 20, 1995 (the effective date
15 of Public Act 89-392), the Department shall prepare and submit
16 to the Governor and the General Assembly, a written plan for
17 the development of in-state licensed secure child care
18 facilities that care for children who are in need of secure
19 living arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being.
20 For purposes of this subsection, secure care facility shall
21 mean a facility that is designed and operated to ensure that
22 all entrances and exits from the facility, a building or a
23 distinct part of the building, are under the exclusive control
24 of the staff of the facility, whether or not the child has the
25 freedom of movement within the perimeter of the facility,
26 building, or distinct part of the building. The plan shall

 

 

SB3733 - 108 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 include descriptions of the types of facilities that are needed
2 in Illinois; the cost of developing these secure care
3 facilities; the estimated number of placements; the potential
4 cost savings resulting from the movement of children currently
5 out-of-state who are projected to be returned to Illinois; the
6 necessary geographic distribution of these facilities in
7 Illinois; and a proposed timetable for development of such
8 facilities.
9     (x) The Department shall conduct annual credit history
10 checks to determine the financial history of children placed
11 under its guardianship pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
12 1987. The Department shall conduct such credit checks starting
13 when a ward turns 12 years old and each year thereafter for the
14 duration of the guardianship as terminated pursuant to the
15 Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The Department shall determine if
16 financial exploitation of the child's personal information has
17 occurred. If financial exploitation appears to have taken place
18 or is presently ongoing, the Department shall notify the proper
19 law enforcement agency, the proper State's Attorney, or the
20 Attorney General.

1     Sec. 34.11. Lou Jones Grandparent Child Care Program.
2     (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following:
3         (1) An increasing number of children under the age of
4     18, including many children who would otherwise be at risk
5     of abuse or neglect, are in the care of a grandparent or
6     other nonparent relative.
7         (2) The principal causes of this increase include
8     parental substance abuse, chronic illness, child abuse,
9     mental illness, military deployment, poverty,
10     homelessness, deportation, and death, as well as concerted
11     efforts by families and by the child welfare service system
12     to keep children with relatives whenever possible.
13         (3) Grandparents and older relatives providing primary
14     care for at-risk children may experience unique resultant
15     problems, such as financial stress due to limited incomes,
16     emotional difficulties dealing with the loss of the child's
17     parents or the child's unique behaviors, and decreased
18     physical stamina coupled with a much higher incidence of
19     chronic illness.
20         (4) Many children being raised by nonparent relatives
21     experience one or a combination of emotional, behavioral,
22     psychological, academic, or medical problems, especially
23     those born to a substance-abusing mother or at risk of
24     child abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
25         (5) Grandparents and other relatives providing primary
26     care for children lack appropriate information about the

 

 

SB3733 - 110 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     issues of kinship care, the special needs (both physical
2     and psychological) of children born to a substance-abusing
3     mother or at risk of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment,
4     and the support resources currently available to them.
5         (6) An increasing number of grandparents and other
6     relatives age 60 or older are adopting or becoming the
7     subsidized guardians of children placed in their care by
8     the Department. Some of these children will experience the
9     death of their adoptive parent or guardian before reaching
10     the age of 18. For most of these children, no legal plan
11     has been made for the child's future care and custody in
12     the event of the caregiver's death or incapacity.
13         (7) Grandparents and other relatives providing primary
14     care for children lack appropriate information about
15     future care and custody planning for children in their
16     care. They also lack access to resources that may assist
17     them in developing future legal care and custody plans for
18     children in their legal custody.
19     (b) The Department may establish an informational and
20 educational program for grandparents and other relatives who
21 provide primary care for children who are at risk of child
22 abuse, neglect, or abandonment or who were born to
23 substance-abusing mothers. As a part of the program, the
24 Department may develop, publish, and distribute an
25 informational brochure for grandparents and other relatives
26 who provide primary care for children who are at risk of child

 

 

SB3733 - 111 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 abuse, neglect, or abandonment or who were born to
2 substance-abusing mothers. The information provided under the
3 program authorized by this Section may include, but is not
4 limited to the following:
5         (1) The most prevalent causes of kinship care,
6     especially the risk of (i) substance exposure, (ii) child
7     abuse, neglect, or abandonment, (iii) chronic illness,
8     (iv) mental illness, (v) military deployment, or (vi)
9     death.
10         (2) The problems experienced by children being raised
11     by nonparent caregivers.
12         (3) The problems experienced by grandparents and other
13     nonparent relatives providing primary care for children
14     who have special needs.
15         (4) The legal system as it relates to children and
16     their nonparent primary caregivers.
17         (5) The benefits available to children and their
18     nonparent primary caregivers.
19         (6) A list of support groups and resources located
20     throughout the State.
21     The brochure may be distributed through hospitals, public
22 health nurses, child protective services, medical professional
23 offices, elementary and secondary schools, senior citizen
24 centers, public libraries, community action agencies selected
25 by the Department, and the Department of Human Services.
26     The Kinship Navigator established under the Kinship

 

 

SB3733 - 112 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Navigator Act shall coordinate the grandparent child care
2 program under this Section with the programs and services
3 established and administered by the Department of Human
4 Services under the Kinship Navigator Act.
5     (c) In addition to other provisions of this Section, the
6 Department shall establish a program of information, social
7 work services, and legal services for any person age 60 or over
8 and any other person who may be in need of a future legal care
9 and custody plan who adopt, have adopted, take guardianship of,
10 or have taken guardianship of children previously in the
11 Department's custody. This program shall also assist families
12 of deceased adoptive parents and guardians. As part of the
13 program, the Department shall:
14         (1) Develop a protocol for identification of persons
15     age 60 or over and others who may be in need of future care
16     and custody plans, including ill caregivers, who are
17     adoptive parents, prospective adoptive parents, guardians,
18     or prospective guardians of children who are or have been
19     in Department custody.
20         (2) Provide outreach to caregivers before and after
21     adoption and guardianship, and to the families of deceased
22     caregivers, regarding Illinois legal options for future
23     care and custody of children.

2     plans for children who have been wards of the Department
3     and who are or will be adopted by or are or will become
4     wards of those caregivers.
5         (4) Ensure that all caregivers age 60 or over who will
6     adopt or will become guardians of children previously in
7     Department custody have specifically designated future
8     caregivers for children in their care. The Department shall
9     document this designation, and the Department shall also
10     document acceptance of this responsibility by any future
11     caregiver. Documentation of future care designation shall
12     be included in each child's case file and adoption or
13     guardianship subsidy files as applicable to the child.
14         (5) Ensure that any designated future caregiver and the
15     family of a deceased caregiver have information on the
16     financial needs of the child and future resources that may
17     be available to support the child, including any adoption
18     assistance and subsidized guardianship for which the child
19     is or may be eligible.
20         (6) With respect to programs of social work and legal
21     services:
22             (i) Provide contracted social work services to
23         older and ill caregivers, and the families of deceased
24         caregivers, including those who will or have adopted or

12         documentation described in subsection (b) (4). This
13         form shall be included in each child's case file and
14         adoption or guardianship subsidy files as applicable
15         to the child.
16             (ii) Through a program of contracted legal
17         services, assist older and ill caregivers, and the
18         families of deceased caregivers, with the goal of
19         securing court-ordered future care and custody plans
20         for children in their care. Court-ordered future care
21         and custody plans may include: standby guardianship,
22         successor guardianship, standby adoption, and
23         successor adoption. The program will also study ways in
24         which to provide timely and cost-effective legal
25         services to older and ill caregivers, and to families

SB3733 - 115 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         for children in their care.
2         (7) Ensure that future caregivers designated by
3     adoptive parents or guardians, and the families of deceased

9     (l) Reporting criminal acts. Within 24 hours after
10 determining that there is credible evidence indicating that a
11 criminal act may have been committed or that special expertise
12 may be required in an investigation, the Inspector General
13 shall notify the Department of State Police or other

SB3733 - 134 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

2         (2) Notice to employee. Prior to reporting the name of
3     an employee, the employee shall be notified of the
4     Department's obligation to report and shall be granted an
5     opportunity to request an administrative hearing, the sole
6     purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated
7     finding warrants reporting to the registry. Notice to the
8     employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of the
9     grounds on which the report to the registry is based, offer
10     the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and identify the
11     process for requesting such a hearing. Notice is sufficient
12     if provided by certified mail to the employee's last known
13     address. If the employee fails to request a hearing within
14     30 days from the date of the notice, the Inspector General
15     shall report the name of the employee to the registry.
16     Nothing in this subdivision (s)(2) shall diminish or impair
17     the rights of a person who is a member of a collective
18     bargaining unit under the Illinois Public Labor Relations
19     Act or under any other federal labor statute.
20         (3) Registry hearings. If the employee requests an
21     administrative hearing, the employee shall be granted an
22     opportunity to appear before an administrative law judge to
23     present reasons why the employee's name should not be
24     reported to the registry. The Department shall bear the
25     burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a
26     preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated

 

 

SB3733 - 135 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     finding warrants reporting to the registry. After
2     considering all the evidence presented, the administrative
3     law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as
4     to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting
5     the name of the employee to the registry. The Secretary
6     shall render the final decision. The Department and the
7     employee shall have the right to request that the
8     administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition
9     of these proceedings.
10         (4) Testimony at registry hearings. A person who makes
11     a report or who investigates a report under this Act shall
12     testify fully in any judicial proceeding resulting from
13     such a report, as to any evidence of abuse or neglect, or
14     the cause thereof. No evidence shall be excluded by reason
15     of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
16     communications between the alleged perpetrator of abuse or
17     neglect, or the individual alleged as the victim in the
18     report, and the person making or investigating the report.
19     Testimony at hearings is exempt from the confidentiality
20     requirements of subsection (f) of Section 10 of the Mental
21     Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act.
22         (5) Employee's rights to collateral action. No
23     reporting to the registry shall occur and no hearing shall
24     be set or proceed if an employee notifies the Inspector
25     General in writing, including any supporting
26     documentation, that he or she is formally contesting an

 

 

SB3733 - 136 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     adverse employment action resulting from a substantiated
2     finding by complaint filed with the Illinois Civil Service
3     Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the
4     employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective
5     bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer
6     against an employee as a result of a finding of physical
7     abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned
8     through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
9     Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining
10     agreement and if that employee's name has already been sent
11     to the registry, the employee's name shall be removed from
12     the registry.
13         (6) Removal from registry. At any time after the report
14     to the registry, but no more than once in any 12-month
15     period, an employee may petition the Department in writing
16     to remove his or her name from the registry. Upon receiving
17     notice of such request, the Inspector General shall conduct
18     an investigation into the petition. Upon receipt of such
19     request, an administrative hearing will be set by the
20     Department. At the hearing, the employee shall bear the
21     burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a
22     preponderance of the evidence, that removal of the name
23     from the registry is in the public interest. The parties
24     may jointly request that the administrative law judge
25     consider a stipulated disposition of these proceedings.
26     (t) Review of Administrative Decisions. The Department

 

 

SB3733 - 137 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 shall preserve a record of all proceedings at any formal
2 hearing conducted by the Department involving health care

8 nor shall the failure to provide a service to a patient be
9 considered abuse under this Section if the patient has objected
10 to the provision of that service based on his or her religious

15     through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
16     Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining

25 without an active license, registration, or certificate in a
26 profession that requires licensure, registration, or

 

 

SB3733 - 172 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

6 permit a person with a criminal record, who seeks a license or
7 certificate in an occupation for which a criminal record is not
8 expressly a per se bar, to apply to the Department for a
9 non-binding, advisory opinion to be provided by the Board or
10 body with the authority to issue the license or certificate as
11 to whether his or her criminal record would bar the individual
12 from the licensure or certification sought, should the
13 individual meet all other licensure requirements including,
14 but not limited to, the successful completion of the relevant
15 examinations.

5 complete documentation of the undertaking, either approve that
6 application allowing the undertaking to proceed or tender to
7 the applicant a written statement setting forth the reasons for
8 the requirement of an archaeological investigation. If there is
9 no action within 30 days after the filing of the application
10 with the complete documentation of the undertaking, the
11 applicant may deem the application approved and may proceed
12 with the undertaking. Thereafter, all requirements for
13 archaeological investigations are waived under this Act.
14     (c) If the Director finds that an undertaking will
15 adversely affect effect an historic resource or is inconsistent
16 with agency policies, the State agency shall consult with the
17 Director and shall discuss alternatives to the proposed
18 undertaking which could eliminate, minimize, or mitigate its
19 adverse effect. During the consultation process, the State
20 agency shall explore all feasible and prudent plans which
21 eliminate, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects on historic
22 resources. Grantees, permittees, licensees, or other parties
23 in interest and representatives of national, State, and local
24 units of government and public and private organizations may
25 participate in the consultation process. The process may
26 involve on-site inspections and public informational meetings

1 pursuant to regulations issued by the Historic Preservation
2 Agency.
3     (d) The State agency and the Director may agree that there
4 is a feasible and prudent alternative which eliminates,
5 minimizes, or mitigates the adverse effect of the undertaking.
6 Upon such agreement, or if the State agency and the Director
7 agree that there are no feasible and prudent alternatives which
8 eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect, the
9 Director shall prepare a Memorandum of Agreement describing the
10 alternatives or stating the finding. The State agency may
11 proceed with the undertaking once a Memorandum of Agreement has
12 been signed by both the State agency and the Director.
13     (e) After the consultation process, the Director and the
14 State agency may fail to agree on the existence of a feasible
15 and prudent alternative which would eliminate, minimize, or
16 mitigate the adverse effect of the undertaking on the historic
17 resource. If no agreement is reached, the agency shall call a
18 public meeting in the county where the undertaking is proposed
19 within 60 days. If, within 14 days following conclusion of the
20 public meeting, the State agency and the Director fail to agree
21 on a feasible and prudent alternative, the proposed
22 undertaking, with supporting documentation, shall be submitted
23 to the Historic Preservation Mediation Committee. The document
24 shall be sufficient to identify each alternative considered by
25 the Agency and the Director during the consultation process and
26 the reason for its rejection.

9 undertaking, the Committee shall meet with the Director and the
10 submitting agency to review each alternative considered by the
11 State agency and the Director and to evaluate the existence of
12 a feasible and prudent alternative. In the event that the
13 Director and the submitting agency continue to disagree, the
14 Committee shall provide a statement of findings or comments
15 setting forth an alternative to the proposed undertaking or
16 stating the finding that there is no feasible or prudent
17 alternative. The State agency shall consider the written
18 comments of the Committee and shall respond in writing to the
19 Committee before proceeding with the undertaking.
20     (g) When an undertaking is being reviewed pursuant to
21 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966,
22 the procedures of this law shall not apply and any review or
23 comment by the Director on such undertaking shall be within the
24 framework or procedures of the federal law. When an undertaking

1 contrary.
2     (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act
3 of the 96th General Assembly through June 30, 2010, when any of

7 Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from the General
8 Revenue Fund to the fund such amount as is immediately
9 necessary to satisfy outstanding expenditure obligations on a
10 timely basis, subject to the provisions of the State Prompt
11 Payment Act.
12     (c) If the Director of the Governor's Office of Management
13 and Budget determines that any transfer to the General Revenue
14 Fund from a special fund under subsection (a) either (i)
15 jeopardizes federal funding based on a written communication
16 from a federal official or (ii) violates an order of a court of
17 competent jurisdiction, then the Director may order the State
18 Treasurer and State Comptroller, in writing, to transfer from
19 the General Revenue Fund to that listed special fund all or
20 part of the amounts transferred from that special fund under
21 subsection (a).

4 time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to
5 transfer a specified sum from any fund held by the State
6 Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
7 the State's operating costs for the fiscal year. The total
8 transfer under this Section from any fund in any fiscal year
9 shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be
10 deposited into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an

16 applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the
17 funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may be made from a
18 fund under this Section that would have the effect of reducing
19 the available balance in the fund to an amount less than the
20 amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total
21 appropriation from that fund estimated to be expended for that
22 fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any funds that are
23 restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
24 the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity Passenger Rail Fund, the
25 Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, the

7 Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the
8 Hospital Basic Services Preservation Fund, or to any funds to
9 which Section 70-50 of the Nurse Practice Act applies. No
10 transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet
11 Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision
12 of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under
13 this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction
14 Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
15 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
16 or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund. For fiscal
17 year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be
18 transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State
19 Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information
20 Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the
21 Mandatory Arbitration Fund.

25 fiscal year.
26     The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the

6 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-774) shall be
7 redirected as provided in Section 8n of this Act.

4 subdivision, shall require every contractor for the work to
5 furnish, supply and deliver a bond to the State, or to the
6 political subdivision thereof entering into the contract, as
7 the case may be, with good and sufficient sureties. The amount
8 of the bond shall be fixed by the officials, boards,
9 commissions, commissioners or agents, and the bond, among other
10 conditions, shall be conditioned for the completion of the
11 contract, for the payment of material used in the work and for
12 all labor performed in the work, whether by subcontractor or
13 otherwise.
14     If the contract is for emergency repairs as provided in the
15 Illinois Procurement Code, proof of payment for all labor,
16 materials, apparatus, fixtures, and machinery may be furnished
17 in lieu of the bond required by this Section.
18     Each such bond is deemed to contain the following
19 provisions whether such provisions are inserted in such bond or
20 not:
21     "The principal and sureties on this bond agree that all the
22 undertakings, covenants, terms, conditions and agreements of
23 the contract or contracts entered into between the principal
24 and the State or any political subdivision thereof will be
25 performed and fulfilled and to pay all persons, firms and

SB3733 - 302 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 subcontractors, all just claims due them under the provisions
2 of such contracts for labor performed or materials furnished in
3 the performance of the contract on account of which this bond
4 is given, when such claims are not satisfied out of the
5 contract price of the contract on account of which this bond is
6 given, after final settlement between the officer, board,
7 commission or agent of the State or of any political
8 subdivision thereof and the principal has been made.".
9     Each bond securing contracts between the Capital
10 Development Board or any board of a public institution of
11 higher education and a contractor shall contain the following
12 provisions, whether the provisions are inserted in the bond or

19 the surety shall promptly remedy the default by taking one of
20 the following actions:
21         (1) The surety shall complete the work pursuant to a
22     written takeover agreement, using a completing contractor
23     jointly selected by the surety and the State or any

25         (2) The surety shall pay a sum of money to the obligee,
26     up to the penal sum of the bond, that represents the

 

 

SB3733 - 303 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     reasonable cost to complete the work that exceeds the
2     unpaid balance of the contract sum.
3     The surety shall respond to the Notice within 15 working
4 days of receipt indicating the course of action that it intends
5 to take or advising that it requires more time to investigate
6 the default and select a course of action. If the surety
7 requires more than 15 working days to investigate the default
8 and select a course of action or if the surety elects to
9 complete the work with a completing contractor that is not
10 prepared to commence performance within 15 working days after
11 receipt of Notice, and if the State or any political
12 subdivision determines it is in the best interest of the State
13 to maintain the progress of the work, the State or any
14 political subdivision may continue to work until the completing
15 contractor is prepared to commence performance. Unless
16 otherwise agreed to by the procuring agency, in no case may the
17 surety take longer than 30 working days to advise the State or
18 political subdivision on the course of action it intends to
19 take. The surety shall be liable for reasonable costs incurred
20 by the State or any political subdivision to maintain the
21 progress to the extent the costs exceed the unpaid balance of
22 the contract sum, subject to the penal sum of the bond.".
23     The surety bond required by this Section may be acquired
24 from the company, agent or broker of the contractor's choice.
25 The bond and sureties shall be subject to the right of
26 reasonable approval or disapproval, including suspension, by

 

 

SB3733 - 304 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the State or political subdivision thereof concerned. In the
2 case of State construction contracts, a contractor shall not be
3 required to post a cash bond or letter of credit in addition to
4 or as a substitute for the surety bond required by this
5 Section.
6     When other than motor fuel tax funds, federal-aid funds, or
7 other funds received from the State are used, a political
8 subdivision may allow the contractor to provide a
9 non-diminishing irrevocable bank letter of credit, in lieu of
10 the bond required by this Section, on contracts under $100,000
11 to comply with the requirements of this Section. Any such bank
12 letter of credit shall contain all provisions required for
13 bonds by this Section.

15     (30 ILCS 550/3)
16     Sec. 3. Builder or developer cash bond or other surety.
17     (a) A county or municipality may not require a cash bond,
18 irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of
19 commitment issued by a bank, savings and loan association,
20 surety, or insurance company from a builder or developer to
21 guarantee completion of a project improvement when the builder
22 or developer has filed with the county or municipal clerk a
23 current, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or letter
24 of commitment issued by a bank, savings and loan association,
25 surety, or insurance company, deemed good and sufficient by the

 

 

SB3733 - 305 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 county or municipality accepting such security, in an amount
2 equal to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid on each
3 project improvement. A builder or developer has the option to
4 utilize a cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond,
5 or letter of commitment, issued by a bank, savings and loan
6 association, surety, or insurance company, deemed good and
7 sufficient by the county or municipality, to satisfy any cash
8 bond requirement established by a county or municipality.
9 Except for a municipality or county with a population of
10 1,000,000 or more, the county or municipality must approve and
11 deem a surety or insurance company good and sufficient for the
12 purposes set forth in this Section if the surety or insurance
13 company is authorized by the Illinois Department of Insurance
14 to sell and issue sureties in the State of Illinois.
15     (b) If a county or municipality receives a cash bond,
16 irrevocable letter of credit, or surety bond from a builder or
17 developer to guarantee completion of a project improvement, the
18 county or municipality shall (i) register the bond under the
19 address of the project and the construction permit number and
20 (ii) give the builder or developer a receipt for the bond. The
21 county or municipality shall establish and maintain a separate
22 account for all cash bonds received from builders and
23 developers to guarantee completion of a project improvement.
24     (c) The county or municipality shall refund a cash bond to
25 a builder or developer, or release the irrevocable letter of
26 credit or surety bond, within 60 days after the builder or

 

 

SB3733 - 306 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 developer notifies the county or municipality in writing of the
2 completion of the project improvement for which the bond was
3 required. For these purposes, "completion" means that the
4 county or municipality has determined that the project
5 improvement for which the bond was required is complete or a
6 licensed engineer or licensed architect has certified to the
7 builder or developer and the county or municipality that the
8 project improvement has been completed to the applicable codes
9 and ordinances. The county or municipality shall pay interest
10 to the builder or developer, beginning 60 days after the
11 builder or developer notifies the county or municipality in
12 writing of the completion of the project improvement, on any
13 bond not refunded to a builder or developer, at the rate of 1%
14 per month.
15     (d) A home rule county or municipality may not require or
16 maintain cash bonds, irrevocable letters of credit, surety
17 bonds, or letters of commitment issued by a bank, savings and
18 loan association, surety, or insurance company from builders or
19 developers in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This
20 Section supersedes supercedes and controls over other
21 provisions of the Counties Code or Illinois Municipal Code as
22 they apply to and guarantee completion of a project improvement
23 that is required by the county or municipality, regardless of
24 whether the project improvement is a condition of annexation
25 agreements. This Section is a denial and limitation under
26 subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois

 

 

SB3733 - 307 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

9 business owned by a minority, female, or person with a
10 disability for whatever purpose. A business owned and

14 combination of minority persons, females, or persons with
15 disabilities, even though none of the 3 classes alone holds at
16 least a 51% interest, the ownership requirement for purposes of
17 this Act is considered to be met. The certification category
18 for the business is that of the class holding the largest
19 ownership interest in the business. If 2 or more classes have
20 equal ownership interests, the certification category shall be
21 determined by the business concern.

25     Section 175. The State Property Control Act is amended by

 

 

SB3733 - 325 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 changing Section 7.1 as follows:
 
2     (30 ILCS 605/7.1)  (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.1)
3     Sec. 7.1. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all
4 surplus real property held by the State of Illinois shall be
5 disposed of by the administrator as provided in this Section.
6 "Surplus real property," as used in this Section, means any
7 real property to which the State holds fee simple title or
8 lesser interest, and is vacant, unoccupied or unused and which
9 has no foreseeable use by the owning agency.
10     (b) All responsible officers shall submit an Annual Real
11 Property Utilization Report to the Administrator, or annual
12 update of such report, on forms required by the Administrator,
13 by July 31 of each year. The Administrator may require such
14 documentation as he deems reasonably necessary in connection
15 with this Report, and shall require that such Report include
16 the following information:
17     (1) A legal description of all real property owned by the
18 State under the control of the responsible officer.
19     (2) A description of the use of the real property listed
20 under (1).
21     (3) A list of any improvements made to such real property
22 during the previous year.
23     (4) The dates on which the State first acquired its
24 interest in such real property, and the purchase price and
25 source of the funds used to acquire the property.

 

 

SB3733 - 326 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (5) Plans for the future use of currently unused real
2 property.
3     (6) A declaration of any surplus real property. On or
4 before October 31 of each year the Administrator shall furnish
5 copies of each responsible officer's report along with a list
6 of surplus property indexed by legislative district to the
7 General Assembly.
8     This report shall be filed with the Speaker, the Minority
9 Leader and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the
10 President, the Minority Leader and the Secretary of the Senate
11 and shall be duplicated and made available to the members of
12 the General Assembly for evaluation by such members for
13 possible liquidation of unused public property at public sale.
14     (c) Following receipt of the Annual Real Property
15 Utilization Report required under paragraph (b), the
16 Administrator shall notify all State agencies by October 31 of
17 all declared surplus real property. Any State agency may submit
18 a written request to the Administrator, within 60 days of the
19 date of such notification, to have control of surplus real
20 property transferred to that agency. Such request must indicate
21 the reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of
22 such surplus real property. The Administrator may deny any or
23 all such requests by a State agency or agencies if the
24 Administrator determines that it is more advantageous to the
25 State to dispose of the surplus real property under paragraph
26 (d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are

 

 

SB3733 - 327 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 received from more than one State agency, the Administrator
2 shall weigh the benefits to the State and determine to which
3 agency, if any, to transfer control of such property. The
4 Administrator shall coordinate the use and disposal of State
5 surplus real property with any State space utilization program.
6     (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to
7 the control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall
8 be disposed of by the Administrator. No appraisal is required
9 if during his initial survey of surplus real property the
10 Administrator determines such property has a fair market value
11 of less than $5,000. If the value of such property is
12 determined by the Administrator in his initial survey to be
13 $5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3
14 appraisals of such real property, one of which shall be
15 performed by an appraiser residing in the county in which said
16 surplus real property is located. The average of these 3
17 appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals, shall
18 represent the fair market value of the surplus real property.
19 No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator
20 for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the
21 surplus real property for sale to the public the Administrator
22 shall give notice in writing of the existence and fair market
23 value of the surplus real property to the governing bodies of
24 the county and of all cities, villages and incorporated towns
25 in the county in which such real property is located. Any such
26 governing body may exercise its option to acquire the surplus

 

 

SB3733 - 328 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 real property for the fair market value within 60 days of the
2 notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the Administrator
3 may sell the surplus real property by public auction following
4 notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less
5 than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State
6 newspaper and in a newspaper having general circulation in the
7 county in which the surplus real property is located. The
8 Administrator shall post "For Sale" signs of a conspicuous
9 nature on such surplus real property offered for sale to the
10 public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus real property
11 are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of such
12 property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary
13 to convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys
14 received for the sale of surplus real property shall be
15 deposited in the General Revenue Fund, except that:
16         (1) Where moneys expended for the acquisition of such
17     real property were from a special fund which is still a
18     special fund in the State treasury, this special fund shall
19     be reimbursed in the amount of the original expenditure and
20     any amount in excess thereof shall be deposited in the
21     General Revenue Fund.
22         (2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by
23     the Department of Human Services is closed and the real
24     estate on which the facility is located is sold by the
25     State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate
26     shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health

 

 

SB3733 - 329 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Medicaid Trust Fund.
2         (3) Whenever a State developmental disabilities
3     facility operated by the Department of Human Services is
4     closed and the real estate on which the facility is located
5     is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the
6     real estate shall be deposited into the Community
7     Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.
8     The Administrator shall have authority to order such
9 surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title insurance
10 as may, in his reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to
11 demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and
12 marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant to
13 this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the
14 General Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the
15 Administrator shall be by quit claim deed.
16     (e) The Administrator shall submit an annual report on or
17 before February 1 to the Governor and the General Assembly
18 containing a detailed statement of surplus real property either
19 transferred or conveyed under this Section.

1 income tax, there is also hereby imposed the Personal Property
2 Tax Replacement Income Tax measured by net income on every
3 corporation (including Subchapter S corporations), partnership
4 and trust, for each taxable year ending after June 30, 1979.

17 be an additional amount equal to 2.85% of such taxpayer's net
18 income for the taxable year, except that beginning on January
19 1, 1981, and thereafter, the rate of 2.85% specified in this
20 subsection shall be reduced to 2.5%, and in the case of a
21 partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an
22 additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income

SB3733 - 335 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois a retaliatory tax
2 (excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed
3 are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
4 under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
5 that for purposes of this determination premiums from
6 reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
7 reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8 on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9 imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10 increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11 under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12 shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13 on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14 the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15 domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16 and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
17 insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
18 allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
19 income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
20 purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
21 a mutual insurer under common management.
22         (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
23     shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
24     (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
25             (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
26         insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all

 

 

SB3733 - 336 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         credits allowed under this Act, plus
2             (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the
3         Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
4         tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
5         Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under
6         Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
7     equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31,
8     2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
9     December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
10     the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
11     409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
12     no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
13     and (d).
14         (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15     subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
16     by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
17     subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
18     Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
19     has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
20     subsection (d).
21     This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
22 Section 250.
23     (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
24 against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
25 investment in qualified property.
26         (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%

 

 

SB3733 - 337 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2     the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3     service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4     additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5     property placed in service during the taxable year,
6     provided such property is placed in service on or after
7     July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8     Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9     year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10     filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11     Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12     met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13     which they file employment records with the Illinois
14     Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15     this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16     Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17     law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18     increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19     preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20     be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21     numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22     1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23     not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24     taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25     any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26     other than the year in which the property was placed in

 

 

SB3733 - 338 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2     December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3     credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4     property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5     credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6     exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7     amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8     the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9     excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10     which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11     equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12     enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13     Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14     Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16     complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17     (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18     Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19     Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20     such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21     after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22     the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23     or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24     for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25     the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26     forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

 

 

SB3733 - 339 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2     be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4     that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5     shall be applied first.
6         (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7     which:
8             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9         buildings and structural components of buildings and
10         signs that are real property, but not including land or
11         improvements to real property that are not a structural
12         component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13         lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14         other appurtenances;
15             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19         (e);
20             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22             (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23         primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24         or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25         on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26         Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

 

 

SB3733 - 340 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         Redevelopment Zone Act; and
2             (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
3         such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
4         the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
5         subsection (f).
6         (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
7     "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
8     of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
9     regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
10     assembling which changes some existing material into new
11     shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
12     this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
13     meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14     Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
15     the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
16     property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
17     services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
18     personal property for use or consumption and not for
19     resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
20     personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
21     is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
22     taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
23     include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
24     electricity.
25         (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

SB3733 - 341 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     income tax purposes.
2         (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4     in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6     date of such increase in basis.
7         (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9         (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12     any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13     months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14     Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16     recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19     computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21     purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24     property to the extent of such reduction.
25         (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26     the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

 

 

SB3733 - 342 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     incurred after December 31, 2013, except for costs incurred
2     pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
3     December 31, 2013.
4         (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
5     a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
6     credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
7     subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
8     credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
9     against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
10     Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
11     credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
12     partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
13     Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
14     promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
15     the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
16     taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
17     its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
18     that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
19     shall be irrevocable.
20         For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
21     a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
22     under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
23     of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
24     S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
25     paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
26     allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its

 

 

SB3733 - 343 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2     the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3     corporation, determined in accordance with the
4     determination of income and distributive share of income
5     under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
6     Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
7     of Section 250.
8     (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
9 Redevelopment Zone.
10         (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
11     tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
12     investment in qualified property which is placed in service
13     in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
14     Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15     or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16     established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17     Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18     corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19     if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20     purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21     be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22     determined in accordance with the determination of income
23     and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24     and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25     shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
26     shall be available only in the taxable year in which the

 

 

SB3733 - 344 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2     River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3     the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4     the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5     to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6     31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7     which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8     of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9     whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10     as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11     applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12     following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13     applied to the earliest year for which there is a
14     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
15     that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16     accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19         buildings and structural components of buildings;
20             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
21         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
22         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
23         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24         (f);
25             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

SB3733 - 345 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1             (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2         Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
3             (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4         such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5         the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6         subsection (e).
7         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9     income tax purposes.
10         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12     in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
13     Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
14     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
15     date of such increase in basis.
16         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18         (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
19     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
20     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21     any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22     or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23     being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24     (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26     recomputing the investment credit which would have been

 

 

SB3733 - 346 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3     computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5     purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8     property to the extent of such reduction.
9         (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10     to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11     service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12     Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13     service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14     employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15     the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
16     employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17     Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18     shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19     employment for the first year in which they file employment
20     records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21     Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22     within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
23     the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
24     times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
25     denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

19         his services are rendered there or it is the base of
20         operations for the services performed.
21             (D) A full-time employee working 30 or more hours
22         per week.
23         (4) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985
24     and prior to December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed
25     for the tax year in which the eligible employees are hired.

SB3733 - 349 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
2     following the tax year in which the eligible employees are
3     hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
4     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
5     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
6     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
7     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
8     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
9     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
10     tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
11     credit shall be applied first.
12         (5) The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such
13     rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to carry
14     out the purposes of this subsection (g).
15         (6) The credit shall be available for eligible
16     employees hired on or after January 1, 1986.
17     (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business.
18         (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section 5.5
19     of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall be

21     and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
22     property which is placed in service by a Department of
23     Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
24     Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
25     property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
26     minimum investments in qualified property set forth in

 

 

SB3733 - 350 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
2     Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
3     time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
4     Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact
5     Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
6     (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
7     Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
8     reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
9     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
10     credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
11     taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
12     The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
13     investment by a designated high impact business authorized
14     under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
15     Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
16     year in which the property is placed in service and shall
17     not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
18     taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
19     and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
20     on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
21     for the tax year in which the property is placed in
22     service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
23     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
24     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
25     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
26     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The

 

 

SB3733 - 351 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
2     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
3     tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
4     credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
5         Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
6     88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
7     reflect existing law.
8         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
9             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
10         buildings and structural components of buildings;
11             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
12         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
13         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
14         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
15         (h);
16             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
17         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
18             (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
19         Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
20         Section.
21         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
22     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
23     income tax purposes.
24         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
25     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
26     in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

 

 

SB3733 - 352 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
2     such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
3     the date of such increase in basis.
4         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
5     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
6         (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
7     December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
8     property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
9     after being placed in service, or the situs of any
10     qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
11     months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
12     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
13     year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
14     by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
15     been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
16     was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
17     such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
18     credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
19     the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
20     basis of qualified property resulting from a
21     redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
22     disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
23     reduction.
24         (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
25     1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
26     subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and

 

 

SB3733 - 353 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
2     the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
3     18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
4     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
5     for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
6     facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
7     received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
8     (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
9 Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
10 shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
11 (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
12 (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
13 multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
14 Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
15 allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
16 base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
17 rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
18     Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
19 subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
20 because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
21 and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
22 liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
23 forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
24 (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
25 year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
26 year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be

 

 

SB3733 - 354 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
2 liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
3 than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
4 earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
5 first.
6     If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
7 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
8 Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
9 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
10 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
11 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
12 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
13 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
14 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
15 year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
16     (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
17 ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
18 2003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax
19 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section for all
20 amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
21 the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
22 of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
23 training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
24 or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
25 computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
26 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such

 

 

SB3733 - 355 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
2 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
3 liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
4 federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
5 credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
6 with the determination of income and distributive share of
7 income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
8 Internal Revenue Code.
9     Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
10 the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
11 the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
12 first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
13 first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
14 there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
15 year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
16 credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
17 carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
18 after December 31, 2003.
19     (k) Research and development credit.
20     For tax years ending after July 1, 1990 and prior to
21 December 31, 2003, and beginning again for tax years ending on
22 or after December 31, 2004, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
23 credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
24 this Section for increasing research activities in this State.
25 The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
26 and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures

 

 

SB3733 - 356 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 for increasing research activities in this State. For partners,
2 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and owners of
3 limited liability companies, if the liability company is
4 treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and State
5 income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
6 subsection to be determined in accordance with the
7 determination of income and distributive share of income under
8 Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
9 Code.
10     For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
11 means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
12 credit for increasing research activities which would be
13 allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
14 which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
15 increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
16 of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
17 incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
18 "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
19 of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
20 period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
21 preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
22 made.
23     Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
24 year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
25 unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
26 as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5

 

 

SB3733 - 357 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
2 first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
3 prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
4 ending on or after December 31, 2003.
5     If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
6 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
7 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
8 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
9 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
10 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
11 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
12 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
13 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
14 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
15 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
16 credit is given was incurred.
17     No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
18 91st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
19 years beginning before January 1, 1999.
20     (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
21         (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
22     or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
23     credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
24     of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
25     eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
26     subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed

 

 

SB3733 - 358 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
2     Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
3     Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
4     paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
5     which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
6     Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
7     Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
8     for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
9     eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
10     available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
11     party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
12     release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
13     that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
14     pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
15     Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
16     Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
17     Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
18     enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
19     Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
20     for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
21     those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
22     includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
23     succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
24     and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
25     deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
26     Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being

 

 

SB3733 - 359 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
2     credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
3     and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
4     remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
5     that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
6     contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
7     Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
8     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
9     total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
10     a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
11     shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
12     allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
13     accordance with the determination of income and
14     distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
15     subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
16         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
17     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
18     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
19     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
20     term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
21     unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
22     maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
23     This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
24     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
25     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
26     offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this

 

 

SB3733 - 360 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
2     this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
3     all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
4     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
5     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
6     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
7     transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
8     chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
9     the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
10     assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
11     amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
12     the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
13     taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
14     eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
15         (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
16     shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
17     Environmental Protection Act.
18     (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years
19 ending after December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who is the custodian
20 of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a credit
21 against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
22 Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
23 the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
24 qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
25 credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
26 custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a

 

 

SB3733 - 361 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
2 under this Act to less than zero. This subsection is exempt
3 from the provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
4     For purposes of this subsection:
5     "Qualifying pupils" means individuals who (i) are
6 residents of the State of Illinois, (ii) are under the age of
7 21 at the close of the school year for which a credit is
8 sought, and (iii) during the school year for which a credit is
9 sought were full-time pupils enrolled in a kindergarten through
10 twelfth grade education program at any school, as defined in
11 this subsection.
12     "Qualified education expense" means the amount incurred on

20 except that nothing shall be construed to require a child to
21 attend any particular public or nonpublic school to qualify for
22 the credit under this Section.
23     "Custodian" means, with respect to qualifying pupils, an
24 Illinois resident who is a parent, the parents, a legal

3     a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax
4     imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
5     certain amounts paid for unreimbursed eligible remediation
6     costs, as specified in this subsection. For purposes of
7     this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs"
8     means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental
9     Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the
10     Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing
11     environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge
12     Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation
13     Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
14     58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
15     be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of
16     the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
17     not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
18     related party caused or contributed to, in any material
19     respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under
20     the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial
21     action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
22     Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit
23     availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
24     consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control
25     Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure
26     Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9

 

 

SB3733 - 363 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

12         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
13     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
14     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
15     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
16     credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
17     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
18     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
19     offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
20     subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
21     this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
22     all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
23     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
24     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
25     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the

19     With each such return, the purchaser shall remit the proper
20 amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
21 the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department
22 or its agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the

5 designation with the county collector. Notwithstanding any
6 other provision of this Code to the contrary, the filing of
7 such an executed designation requires the county collector to
8 provide duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A
9 designation may be rescinded by the person who executed such
10 designation at any time, in the manner and form required by the
11 chief county assessment officer.

24 age or older, irrespective of any legal, equitable, or
25 leasehold interest in the facility, who are liable, under a
26 contract with the owner or owners of record of the facility,

 

 

SB3733 - 534 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 for paying property taxes on the property. In a cooperative or
2 a life care facility where a homestead exemption has been
3 granted, the cooperative association or the management firm of
4 the cooperative or facility shall credit the savings resulting
5 from that exemption only to the apportioned tax liability of
6 the owner or resident who qualified for the exemption. Any
7 person who willfully refuses to so credit the savings shall be
8 guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. Under this Section and
9 Sections 15-175, 15-176, and 15-177, "life care facility" means
10 a facility, as defined in Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities
11 Act, with which the applicant for the homestead exemption has a
12 life care contract as defined in that Act.
13     When a homestead exemption has been granted under this
14 Section and the person qualifying subsequently becomes a
15 resident of a facility licensed under the Assisted Living and
16 Shared Housing Act, or the Nursing Home Care Act, or the MR/DD
17 Community Care Act, the exemption shall continue so long as the
18 residence continues to be occupied by the qualifying person's
19 spouse if the spouse is 65 years of age or older, or if the
20 residence remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person
21 qualified for the homestead exemption.
22     A person who will be 65 years of age during the current
23 assessment year shall be eligible to apply for the homestead
24 exemption during that assessment year. Application shall be
25 made during the application period in effect for the county of
26 his residence.

 

 

SB3733 - 535 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Beginning with assessment year 2003, for taxes payable in
2 2004, property that is first occupied as a residence after
3 January 1 of any assessment year by a person who is eligible
4 for the senior citizens homestead exemption under this Section
5 must be granted a pro-rata exemption for the assessment year.
6 The amount of the pro-rata exemption is the exemption allowed
7 in the county under this Section divided by 365 and multiplied
8 by the number of days during the assessment year the property
9 is occupied as a residence by a person eligible for the
10 exemption under this Section. The chief county assessment
11 officer must adopt reasonable procedures to establish
12 eligibility for this pro-rata exemption.
13     The assessor or chief county assessment officer may
14 determine the eligibility of a life care facility to receive
15 the benefits provided by this Section, by affidavit,
16 application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other
17 reasonable methods in order to insure that the tax savings
18 resulting from the exemption are credited by the management
19 firm to the apportioned tax liability of each qualifying
20 resident. The assessor may request reasonable proof that the
21 management firm has so credited the exemption.
22     The chief county assessment officer of each county with
23 less than 3,000,000 inhabitants shall provide to each person
24 allowed a homestead exemption under this Section a form to
25 designate any other person to receive a duplicate of any notice
26 of delinquency in the payment of taxes assessed and levied

 

 

SB3733 - 536 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 under this Code on the property of the person receiving the
2 exemption. The duplicate notice shall be in addition to the
3 notice required to be provided to the person receiving the
4 exemption, and shall be given in the manner required by this
5 Code. The person filing the request for the duplicate notice
6 shall pay a fee of $5 to cover administrative costs to the
7 supervisor of assessments, who shall then file the executed
8 designation with the county collector. Notwithstanding any
9 other provision of this Code to the contrary, the filing of
10 such an executed designation requires the county collector to
11 provide duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A
12 designation may be rescinded by the person who executed such
13 designation at any time, in the manner and form required by the
14 chief county assessment officer.
15     The assessor or chief county assessment officer may
16 determine the eligibility of residential property to receive
17 the homestead exemption provided by this Section by
18 application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other
19 reasonable methods. The determination shall be made in
20 accordance with guidelines established by the Department.
21     In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
22 county board may by resolution provide that if a person has
23 been granted a homestead exemption under this Section, the
24 person qualifying need not reapply for the exemption.
25     In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if the
26 assessor or chief county assessment officer requires annual

 

 

SB3733 - 537 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 application for verification of eligibility for an exemption
2 once granted under this Section, the application shall be
3 mailed to the taxpayer.
4     The assessor or chief county assessment officer shall
5 notify each person who qualifies for an exemption under this
6 Section that the person may also qualify for deferral of real
7 estate taxes under the Senior Citizens Real Estate Tax Deferral
8 Act. The notice shall set forth the qualifications needed for
9 deferral of real estate taxes, the address and telephone number
10 of county collector, and a statement that applications for
11 deferral of real estate taxes may be obtained from the county
12 collector.
13     Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act,
14 no reimbursement by the State is required for the
15 implementation of any mandate created by this Section.

5 that results from a temporary irregularity in the property that
6 reduces the assessed value for one or more taxable years shall

19 residential purposes. If the Chief County Assessment Officer

21 property constituting the residence, then that portion of
22 property shall be deemed the residence for the purposes of this
23 Section.

SB3733 - 541 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (c) Beginning in taxable year 1994, a senior citizens

3 property that is improved with a permanent structure that is
4 occupied as a residence by an applicant who (i) is 65 years of
5 age or older during the taxable year, (ii) has a household
6 income that does not exceed the maximum income limitation,
7 (iii) is liable for paying real property taxes on the property,

14 or older during the taxable year, (ii) has a household income
15 that does not exceed the maximum income limitation, (iii) has a
16 legal or equitable ownership interest in the property as

19     In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the amount of
20 the exemption for all taxable years is the equalized assessed
21 value of the residence in the taxable year for which
22 application is made minus the base amount. In all other
23 counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i)
24 through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and
25 thereafter, the amount of this exemption shall be the equalized
26 assessed value of the residence in the taxable year for which

 

 

SB3733 - 542 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 application is made minus the base amount; and (ii) for taxable
2 year 2006, the amount of the exemption is as follows:
3         (1) For an applicant who has a household income of
4     $45,000 or less, the amount of the exemption is the
5     equalized assessed value of the residence in the taxable
6     year for which application is made minus the base amount.
7         (2) For an applicant who has a household income
8     exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of

11     minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8.
12         (3) For an applicant who has a household income
13     exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of
14     the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
15     residence in the taxable year for which application is made
16     minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.6.
17         (4) For an applicant who has a household income
18     exceeding $47,500 but not exceeding $48,750, the amount of
19     the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
20     residence in the taxable year for which application is made
21     minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.4.
22         (5) For an applicant who has a household income
23     exceeding $48,750 but not exceeding $50,000, the amount of
24     the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
25     residence in the taxable year for which application is made
26     minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.2.

 

 

SB3733 - 543 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     When the applicant is a surviving spouse of an applicant
2 for a prior year for the same residence for which an exemption
3 under this Section has been granted, the base year and base
4 amount for that residence are the same as for the applicant for
5 the prior year.
6     Each year at the time the assessment books are certified to
7 the County Clerk, the Board of Review or Board of Appeals shall
8 give to the County Clerk a list of the assessed values of
9 improvements on each parcel qualifying for this exemption that
10 were added after the base year for this parcel and that
11 increased the assessed value of the property.
12     In the case of land improved with an apartment building
13 owned and operated as a cooperative or a building that is a
14 life care facility that qualifies as a cooperative, the maximum
15 reduction from the equalized assessed value of the property is
16 limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
17 occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of
18 age or older, (ii) with a household income that does not exceed
19 the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract
20 with the owner or owners of record, for paying real property
21 taxes on the property, and (iv) who is an owner of record of a
22 legal or equitable interest in the cooperative apartment
23 building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
24 cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under
25 this Section, the cooperative association or its management
26 firm shall credit the savings resulting from that exemption

 

 

SB3733 - 544 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 only to the apportioned tax liability of the owner who
2 qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses
3 to credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the
4 exemption is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
5     When a homestead exemption has been granted under this
6 Section and an applicant then becomes a resident of a facility
7 licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act or
8 the Nursing Home Care Act, the exemption shall be granted in
9 subsequent years so long as the residence (i) continues to be
10 occupied by the qualified applicant's spouse or (ii) if
11 remaining unoccupied, is still owned by the qualified applicant
12 for the homestead exemption.
13     Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who
14 would have qualified for an exemption under this Section, and
15 the surviving spouse does not independently qualify for this
16 exemption because of age, the exemption under this Section
17 shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
18 preceding and the taxable year of the death, provided that,
19 except for age, the surviving spouse meets all other
20 qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those
21 years.
22     When married persons maintain separate residences, the
23 exemption provided for in this Section may be claimed by only
24 one of such persons and for only one residence.
25     For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than
26 3,000,000 inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall

 

 

SB3733 - 545 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 submit an application by February 15, 1995 to the Chief County
2 Assessment Officer of the county in which the property is
3 located. In counties having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, for
4 taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to receive
5 the exemption, a person may submit an application to the Chief
6 County Assessment Officer of the county in which the property
7 is located during such period as may be specified by the Chief
8 County Assessment Officer. The Chief County Assessment Officer
9 in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall annually
10 give notice of the application period by mail or by
11 publication. In counties having less than 3,000,000
12 inhabitants, beginning with taxable year 1995 and thereafter,
13 to receive the exemption, a person shall submit an application
14 by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
15 Officer of the county in which the property is located. A
16 county may, by ordinance, establish a date for submission of
17 applications that is different than July 1. The applicant shall
18 submit with the application an affidavit of the applicant's
19 total household income, age, marital status (and if married the
20 name and address of the applicant's spouse, if known), and
21 principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
22 1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule,
23 a method for verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by
24 applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment
25 Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an
26 exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is

 

 

SB3733 - 546 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall
2 contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made
3 under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a
4 fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in
5 Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961. The applications
6 shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior Citizens
7 Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice
8 that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an
9 audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
10     Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in
11 counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
12 applicant fails to file the application required by this
13 Section in a timely manner and this failure to file is due to a
14 mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so as to
15 render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a
16 timely manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend
17 the filing deadline for a period of 30 days after the applicant
18 regains the capability to file the application, but in no case
19 may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3 months of the
20 original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
21 provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the
22 Chief County Assessment Officer with a signed statement from
23 the applicant's physician stating the nature and extent of the
24 condition, that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was
25 so severe that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing
26 the application in a timely manner, and the date on which the

 

 

SB3733 - 547 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 applicant regained the capability to file the application.
2     Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other
3 provision to the contrary, in counties having fewer than
4 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant fails to file the
5 application required by this Section in a timely manner and
6 this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition
7 sufficiently severe so as to render the applicant incapable of
8 filing the application in a timely manner, the Chief County
9 Assessment Officer may extend the filing deadline for a period
10 of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided in this
11 paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County
12 Assessment Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's
13 physician stating the nature and extent of the condition, and
14 that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was so severe
15 that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
16 application in a timely manner.
17     In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
18 applicant was denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the
19 denial occurred due to an error on the part of an assessment
20 official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in
21 taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for purposes of
22 determining the amount of the exemption, shall be 1993 rather
23 than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the applicant's
24 exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount
25 of any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995
26 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year,

 

 

SB3733 - 548 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 (ii) the amount of any exemption denied to the applicant in
2 taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993,
3 as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption
4 erroneously denied for taxable year 1994.
5     For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years
6 of age during the current taxable year shall be eligible to
7 apply for the homestead exemption during that taxable year.
8 Application shall be made during the application period in
9 effect for the county of his or her residence.
10     The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the
11 eligibility of a life care facility that qualifies as a
12 cooperative to receive the benefits provided by this Section by
13 use of an affidavit, application, visual inspection,
14 questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure
15 that the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited
16 by the management firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
17 qualifying resident. The Chief County Assessment Officer may
18 request reasonable proof that the management firm has so
19 credited that exemption.
20     Except as provided in this Section, all information
21 received by the chief county assessment officer or the
22 Department from applications filed under this Section, or from
23 any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
24 Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes or
25 pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State or
26 local tax or enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or

 

 

SB3733 - 549 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 sanction imposed by this Act or by any statute or ordinance
2 imposing a State or local tax. Any person who divulges any such
3 information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
4 judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
5     Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
6 Director or chief county assessment officer from publishing or
7 making available reasonable statistics concerning the
8 operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
9 the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a
10 way that information contained in any individual claim shall
11 not be disclosed.
12     (d) Each Chief County Assessment Officer shall annually
13 publish a notice of availability of the exemption provided
14 under this Section. The notice shall be published at least 60
15 days but no more than 75 days prior to the date on which the
16 application must be submitted to the Chief County Assessment
17 Officer of the county in which the property is located. The
18 notice shall appear in a newspaper of general circulation in
19 the county.
20     Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act,
21 no reimbursement by the State is required for the
22 implementation of any mandate created by this Section.

1 Exemption.
2     (a) This Section may be cited as the Senior Citizens
3 Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption.
4     (b) As used in this Section:
5     "Applicant" means an individual who has filed an
6 application under this Section.
7     "Base amount" means the base year equalized assessed value
8 of the residence plus the first year's equalized assessed value
9 of any added improvements which increased the assessed value of
10 the residence after the base year.
11     "Base year" means the taxable year prior to the taxable
12 year for which the applicant first qualifies and applies for
13 the exemption provided that in the prior taxable year the
14 property was improved with a permanent structure that was
15 occupied as a residence by the applicant who was liable for
16 paying real property taxes on the property and who was either
17 (i) an owner of record of the property or had legal or
18 equitable interest in the property as evidenced by a written
19 instrument or (ii) had a legal or equitable interest as a
20 lessee in the parcel of property that was single family
21 residence. If in any subsequent taxable year for which the
22 applicant applies and qualifies for the exemption the equalized
23 assessed value of the residence is less than the equalized
24 assessed value in the existing base year (provided that such
25 equalized assessed value is not based on an assessed value that
26 results from a temporary irregularity in the property that

 

 

SB3733 - 551 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 reduces the assessed value for one or more taxable years), then
2 that subsequent taxable year shall become the base year until a
3 new base year is established under the terms of this paragraph.
4 For taxable year 1999 only, the Chief County Assessment Officer
5 shall review (i) all taxable years for which the applicant
6 applied and qualified for the exemption and (ii) the existing

15 residence (i) continues to be occupied by the qualified
16 applicant's spouse or (ii) if remaining unoccupied, is still

18     Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who

20 the surviving spouse does not independently qualify for this
21 exemption because of age, the exemption under this Section
22 shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
23 preceding and the taxable year of the death, provided that,
24 except for age, the surviving spouse meets all other
25 qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those

10 the exemption, a person may submit an application to the Chief
11 County Assessment Officer of the county in which the property

13 County Assessment Officer. The Chief County Assessment Officer
14 in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall annually

18 to receive the exemption, a person shall submit an application
19 by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
20 Officer of the county in which the property is located. A

23 submit with the application an affidavit of the applicant's
24 total household income, age, marital status (and if married the

1 1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule,
2 a method for verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by
3 applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment
4 Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an
5 exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is
6 eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall
7 contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made
8 under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a
9 fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in
10 Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961. The applications
11 shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior Citizens
12 Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice
13 that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an
14 audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
15     Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in
16 counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
17 applicant fails to file the application required by this
18 Section in a timely manner and this failure to file is due to a
19 mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so as to
20 render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a
21 timely manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend
22 the filing deadline for a period of 30 days after the applicant
23 regains the capability to file the application, but in no case
24 may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3 months of the
25 original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
26 provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the

 

 

SB3733 - 559 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Chief County Assessment Officer with a signed statement from
2 the applicant's physician stating the nature and extent of the
3 condition, that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was
4 so severe that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing
5 the application in a timely manner, and the date on which the
6 applicant regained the capability to file the application.
7     Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other
8 provision to the contrary, in counties having fewer than
9 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant fails to file the
10 application required by this Section in a timely manner and
11 this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition
12 sufficiently severe so as to render the applicant incapable of
13 filing the application in a timely manner, the Chief County
14 Assessment Officer may extend the filing deadline for a period
15 of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided in this
16 paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County
17 Assessment Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's
18 physician stating the nature and extent of the condition, and
19 that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was so severe
20 that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
21 application in a timely manner.
22     In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
23 applicant was denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the
24 denial occurred due to an error on the part of an assessment
25 official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in
26 taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for purposes of

 

 

SB3733 - 560 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 determining the amount of the exemption, shall be 1993 rather
2 than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the applicant's
3 exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount
4 of any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995
5 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year,
6 (ii) the amount of any exemption denied to the applicant in
7 taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993,
8 as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption
9 erroneously denied for taxable year 1994.
10     For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years
11 of age during the current taxable year shall be eligible to
12 apply for the homestead exemption during that taxable year.
13 Application shall be made during the application period in
14 effect for the county of his or her residence.
15     The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the
16 eligibility of a life care facility that qualifies as a
17 cooperative to receive the benefits provided by this Section by
18 use of an affidavit, application, visual inspection,
19 questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure
20 that the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited
21 by the management firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
22 qualifying resident. The Chief County Assessment Officer may
23 request reasonable proof that the management firm has so
24 credited that exemption.
25     Except as provided in this Section, all information

7 imposing a State or local tax. Any person who divulges any such
8 information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
9 judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
10     Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
11 Director or chief county assessment officer from publishing or
12 making available reasonable statistics concerning the
13 operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
14 the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a
15 way that information contained in any individual claim shall
16 not be disclosed.
17     (d) Each Chief County Assessment Officer shall annually
18 publish a notice of availability of the exemption provided
19 under this Section. The notice shall be published at least 60
20 days but no more than 75 days prior to the date on which the

8 extending taxes in the taxing district for the last preceding
9 levy year that resulted in the over or under extension of
10 taxes, or (ii) increased or decreased the tax extension for the
11 last preceding levy year as required by Section 18-135(c).
12 Whenever an adjustment is required under Section 18-135, the
13 aggregate extension base of the taxing district shall be equal
14 to the amount that the aggregate extension of the taxing
15 district would have been for the last preceding levy year if
16 either or both (i) actual, rather than estimated, valuations or
17 rates had been used to calculate the extension of taxes for the
18 last levy year, or (ii) the tax extension for the last
19 preceding levy year had not been adjusted as required by
20 subsection (c) of Section 18-135.
21     "Levy year" has the same meaning as "year" under Section
22 1-155.
23     "New property" means (i) the assessed value, after final
24 board of review or board of appeals action, of new improvements
25 or additions to existing improvements on any parcel of real
26 property that increase the assessed value of that real property

 

 

SB3733 - 575 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

2 issued by the Department under Section 17-30, (ii) the assessed
3 value, after final board of review or board of appeals action,
4 of real property not exempt from real estate taxation, which
5 real property was exempt from real estate taxation for any
6 portion of the immediately preceding levy year, multiplied by
7 the equalization factor issued by the Department under Section
8 17-30, including the assessed value, upon final stabilization
9 of occupancy after new construction is complete, of any real

13 or other entity, and (iii) in counties that classify in
14 accordance with Section 4 of Article IX of the Illinois
15 Constitution, an incentive property's additional assessed
16 value resulting from a scheduled increase in the level of
17 assessment as applied to the first year final board of review
18 market value. In addition, the county clerk in a county
19 containing a population of 3,000,000 or more shall include in

21 any recovered tax increment value that was applicable to the
22 1995 tax year calculations.
23     "Qualified airport authority" means an airport authority
24 organized under the Airport Authorities Act and located in a
25 county bordering on the State of Wisconsin and having a
26 population in excess of 200,000 and not greater than 500,000.

 

 

SB3733 - 576 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     "Recovered tax increment value" means, except as otherwise
2 provided in this paragraph, the amount of the current year's
3 equalized assessed value, in the first year after a
4 municipality terminates the designation of an area as a
5 redevelopment project area previously established under the
6 Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois
7 Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
8 Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
9 established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
10 Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the
11 Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of each
12 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
13 redevelopment project area over and above the initial equalized
14 assessed value of each property in the redevelopment project
15 area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year,
16 the recovered tax increment value for a non-home rule taxing
17 district that first became subject to this Law for the 1995
18 levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed
19 value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased
20 if a municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993
21 as a redevelopment project area previously established under
22 the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois
23 Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
24 Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, or previously
25 established under the Economic Development Area Tax Increment
26 Allocation Act, by an amount equal to the 1994 equalized

 

 

SB3733 - 577 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
2 real property in the redevelopment project area over and above
3 the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
4 redevelopment project area. In the first year after a
5 municipality removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
6 real property from a redevelopment project area established
7 under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
8 Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
9 the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
10 Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
11 means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
12 of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
13 removed from the redevelopment project area over and above the
14 initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
15 removal from the redevelopment project area.
16     Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
17 rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
18 preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
19 plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
20 denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
21 value of all real property in the territory under the
22 jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
23 For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
24 extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
25 aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
26 shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.

 

 

SB3733 - 578 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
2 tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
3 limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
4 after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
5 limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
6 or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
7 case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
8 the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
9 proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
10 specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
11 the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.

19 (h)(1) of Section 12a, Section 13a.6, and items 13, 14, 15, and
20 16 of Section 15, all money received by the Department under
21 this Act, including payments made to the Department by member
22 jurisdictions participating in the International Fuel Tax
23 Agreement, shall be deposited in a special fund in the State
24 treasury, to be known as the "Motor Fuel Tax Fund", and shall

 

 

SB3733 - 579 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 be used as follows:
2     (a) 2 1/2 cents per gallon of the tax collected on special

4 Act shall be transferred to the State Construction Account Fund
5 in the State Treasury;
6     (b) $420,000 shall be transferred each month to the State
7 Boating Act Fund to be used by the Department of Natural
8 Resources for the purposes specified in Article X of the Boat
9 Registration and Safety Act;
10     (c) $3,500,000 shall be transferred each month to the Grade

13 or reconstruction of rail highway grade separation structures;

19 Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in
20 connection with its duties under subsection (3) of Section
21 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be
22 used by the Department of Transportation upon order of the
23 Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the cost
24 apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the
25 interest of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets,
26 or pedestrian walkways in the county highway system, township

 

 

SB3733 - 580 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 and district road system, or municipal street system as defined
2 in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time
3 be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
4 construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or
5 reconstruction, alteration, relocation including construction
6 or improvement of any existing highway necessary for access to
7 property or improvement of any grade crossing and grade
8 crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches
9 thereto of any railroad across the highway or public road, or
10 for the installation, construction, reconstruction, or
11 maintenance of a pedestrian walkway over or under a railroad
12 right-of-way, as provided for in and in accordance with Section
13 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The Commission may order
14 up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund
15 moneys for the improvement of grade crossing surfaces and up to
16 $300,000 per year for the maintenance and renewal of 4-quadrant
17 gate vehicle detection systems located at non-high speed rail
18 grade crossings. The Commission shall not order more than
19 $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund moneys
20 for pedestrian walkways. In entering orders for projects for
21 which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
22 made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
23 by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
24 purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
25 the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in
26 which the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the

 

 

SB3733 - 581 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 cost of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
2 actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection, the
3 Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year
4 project plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will
5 be paid for with moneys from the Grade Crossing Protection
6 Fund. The annual project plan shall identify projects for the
7 succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall
8 identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years.
9 The Commission shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans
10 for this Fund to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the
11 Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House of
12 Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
13 Representatives on the first Wednesday in April of each year;
14     (d) of the amount remaining after allocations provided for
15 in subsections (a), (b) and (c), a sufficient amount shall be
16 reserved to pay all of the following:
17         (1) the costs of the Department of Revenue in
18     administering this Act;
19         (2) the costs of the Department of Transportation in
20     performing its duties imposed by the Illinois Highway Code
21     for supervising the use of motor fuel tax funds apportioned
22     to municipalities, counties and road districts;
23         (3) refunds provided for in Section 13 of this Act and
24     under the terms of the International Fuel Tax Agreement
25     referenced in Section 14a;

14 approval of the Department which may make such corrections as
15 it ascertains to be necessary.
16     As soon as may be after the first day of each month the
17 Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
18 share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
19 State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
20 counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
21 proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
22 from the residents of such counties, respectively, during the
23 preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
24 before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
25 Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of
26 motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each

 

 

SB3733 - 585 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 county, respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The
2 Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
3 allotment purposes the last such report received from the
4 Secretary of State.
5     As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
6 Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
7 counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
8 road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
9 several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
10 mileage of township or district roads in the respective
11 counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
12 district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
13 counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
14 allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
15 proportion which the total mileage of such township or district
16 roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
17 mileage of all such township or district roads in the county.
18 After July 1 of any year, no allocation shall be made for any
19 road district unless it levied a tax for road and bridge
20 purposes in an amount which will require the extension of such
21 tax against the taxable property in any such road district at a
22 rate of not less than either .08% of the value thereof, based
23 upon the assessment for the year immediately prior to the year
24 in which such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department
25 of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
26 than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the

 

 

SB3733 - 586 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 road district, whichever is less. If any road district has
2 levied a special tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections
3 6-601, 6-602 and 6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such
4 tax was levied in an amount which would require extension at a
5 rate of not less than .08% of the value of the taxable property
6 thereof, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
7 or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than
8 $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
9 district, whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be
10 deemed a proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify
11 such road district for an allotment under this Section. If a
12 township has transferred to the road and bridge fund money
13 which, when added to the amount of any tax levy of the road
14 district would be the equivalent of a tax levy requiring
15 extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in DuPage County, an
16 amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under
17 the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less, such
18 transfer, together with any such tax levy, shall be deemed a
19 proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify the road
20 district for an allotment under this Section.
21     In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
22 imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
23 districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
24 allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation
25 was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
26 tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax

 

 

SB3733 - 587 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
2 after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
3 Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
4 entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment if it levied a road
5 and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
6 the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
7 rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
8 property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
9 preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
10 by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
11 equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
12 jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
13     As used in this Section the term "road district" means any
14 road district, including a county unit road district, provided
15 for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
16 district road" means any road in the township and district road
17 system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
18 purposes of this Section, "road district" also includes park
19 districts, forest preserve districts and conservation
20 districts organized under Illinois law and "township or
21 district road" also includes such roads as are maintained by
22 park districts, forest preserve districts and conservation
23 districts. The Department of Transportation shall determine
24 the mileage of all township and district roads for the purposes
25 of making allotments and allocations of motor fuel tax funds
26 for use in road districts.

 

 

SB3733 - 588 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
2 counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
3 is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
4 these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
5 by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the
6 principal funds.

19     Sec. 14-131. Contributions by State.
20     (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by
21 appropriations of amounts which, together with other employer
22 contributions from trust, federal, and other funds, employee
23 contributions, investment income, and other income, will be
24 sufficient to meet the cost of maintaining and administering
25 the System on a 90% funded basis in accordance with actuarial

1 recommendations.
2     For the purposes of this Section and Section 14-135.08,
3 references to State contributions refer only to employer
4 contributions and do not include employee contributions that
5 are picked up or otherwise paid by the State or a department on
6 behalf of the employee.
7     (b) The Board shall determine the total amount of State
8 contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
9 actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board,
10 using the formula in subsection (e).
11     The Board shall also determine a State contribution rate
12 for each fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
13 based on the total required State contribution for that fiscal
14 year (less the amount received by the System from
15 appropriations under Section 8.12 of the State Finance Act and
16 Section 1 of the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation
17 Act, if any, for the fiscal year ending on the June 30
18 immediately preceding the applicable November 15 certification
19 deadline), the estimated payroll (including all forms of
20 compensation) for personal services rendered by eligible
21 employees, and the recommendations of the actuary.
22     For the purposes of this Section and Section 14.1 of the
23 State Finance Act, the term "eligible employees" includes
24 employees who participate in the System, persons who may elect
25 to participate in the System but have not so elected, persons
26 who are serving a qualifying period that is required for

 

 

SB3733 - 637 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 participation, and annuitants employed by a department as
2 described in subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 14-111.
3     (c) Contributions shall be made by the several departments
4 for each pay period by warrants drawn by the State Comptroller
5 against their respective funds or appropriations based upon
6 vouchers stating the amount to be so contributed. These amounts
7 shall be based on the full rate certified by the Board under
8 Section 14-135.08 for that fiscal year. From the effective date
9 of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly through the
10 payment of the final payroll from fiscal year 2004
11 appropriations, the several departments shall not make
12 contributions for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 but shall
13 instead make payments as required under subsection (a-1) of
14 Section 14.1 of the State Finance Act. The several departments
15 shall resume those contributions at the commencement of fiscal
16 year 2005.
17     (c-1) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section, for
18 fiscal year 2010 only, contributions by the several departments
19 are not required to be made for General Revenue Funds payrolls
20 processed by the Comptroller. Payrolls paid by the several
21 departments from all other State funds must continue to be
22 processed pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section.
23     (c-2) For State fiscal year 2010 only, on or as soon as
24 possible after the 15th day of each month the Board shall
25 submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the
26 System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the fiscal

 

 

SB3733 - 638 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 year 2010 General Revenue Fund appropriation to the System.
2     (d) If an employee is paid from trust funds or federal
3 funds, the department or other employer shall pay employer
4 contributions from those funds to the System at the certified
5 rate, unless the terms of the trust or the federal-State
6 agreement preclude the use of the funds for that purpose, in
7 which case the required employer contributions shall be paid by
8 the State. From the effective date of this amendatory Act of
9 the 93rd General Assembly through the payment of the final
10 payroll from fiscal year 2004 appropriations, the department or
11 other employer shall not pay contributions for the remainder of
12 fiscal year 2004 but shall instead make payments as required
13 under subsection (a-1) of Section 14.1 of the State Finance
14 Act. The department or other employer shall resume payment of
15 contributions at the commencement of fiscal year 2005.
16     (e) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum
17 contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
18 fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
19 sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
20 the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
21 State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
22 required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
23 level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
24 including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
25 projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
26     For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State

 

 

SB3733 - 639 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
2 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
3 so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
4 the rate required under this Section; except that (i) for State
5 fiscal year 1998, for all purposes of this Code and any other
6 law of this State, the certified percentage of the applicable
7 employee payroll shall be 5.052% for employees earning eligible
8 creditable service under Section 14-110 and 6.500% for all
9 other employees, notwithstanding any contrary certification
10 made under Section 14-135.08 before the effective date of this
11 amendatory Act of 1997, and (ii) in the following specified
12 State fiscal years, the State contribution to the System shall
13 not be less than the following indicated percentages of the
14 applicable employee payroll, even if the indicated percentage
15 will produce a State contribution in excess of the amount
16 otherwise required under this subsection and subsection (a):
17 9.8% in FY 1999; 10.0% in FY 2000; 10.2% in FY 2001; 10.4% in FY
18 2002; 10.6% in FY 2003; and 10.8% in FY 2004.
19     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
20 total required State contribution to the System for State
21 fiscal year 2006 is $203,783,900.
22     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
23 total required State contribution to the System for State
24 fiscal year 2007 is $344,164,400.
25     For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
26 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable

 

 

SB3733 - 640 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
2 from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
3 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
4 contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
5     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
6 total required State General Revenue Fund contribution for
7 State fiscal year 2010 is $723,703,100 and shall be made from
8 the proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to
9 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the
10 pro rata share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's
11 share of total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from
12 the General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any
13 reduction in bond proceeds due to the issuance of discounted
14 bonds, if applicable.
15     Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
16 contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
17 maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
18 actuarial liabilities of the System.
19     Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
20 the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
21 Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
22 constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
23 contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
24 Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
25 calculation of, the required State contributions under this
26 Article in any future year until the System has reached a

 

 

SB3733 - 641 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
2 the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
3 term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
4 System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
5     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
6 required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
7 fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
8 under this Section and certified under Section 14-135.08, shall
9 not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
10 State contribution that would have been calculated under this
11 Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
12 payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
13 Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
14 total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
15 issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and
16 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
17 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of
18 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining
19 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,
20 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
21 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
22 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
23 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
24 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
25 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
26 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal

 

 

SB3733 - 642 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
2 required under this Section.
3     (f) After the submission of all payments for eligible
4 employees from personal services line items in fiscal year 2004
5 have been made, the Comptroller shall provide to the System a
6 certification of the sum of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures
7 for personal services that would have been covered by payments
8 to the System under this Section if the provisions of this
9 amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly had not been
10 enacted. Upon receipt of the certification, the System shall
11 determine the amount due to the System based on the full rate
12 certified by the Board under Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year
13 2004 in order to meet the State's obligation under this
14 Section. The System shall compare this amount due to the amount
15 received by the System in fiscal year 2004 through payments
16 under this Section and under Section 6z-61 of the State Finance
17 Act. If the amount due is more than the amount received, the
18 difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall" for
19 purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall
20 shall be satisfied under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds
21 Continuing Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than
22 the amount received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal
23 Year 2004 Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the
24 Fiscal Year 2004 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to
25 the Pension Contribution Fund as soon as practicable after the
26 certification.

1     (g) For purposes of determining the required State
2 contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
3 shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
4 which shall be calculated as follows:
5     As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
6 assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
7 that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
8 assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
9 gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
10 year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
11 5-year period following that fiscal year.
12     (h) For purposes of determining the required State
13 contribution to the System for a particular year, the actuarial
14 value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
15 to the System's actuarially assumed rate of return.
16     (i) (g) After the submission of all payments for eligible
17 employees from personal services line items paid from the
18 General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010 have been made, the
19 Comptroller shall provide to the System a certification of the
20 sum of all fiscal year 2010 expenditures for personal services
21 that would have been covered by payments to the System under
22 this Section if the provisions of this amendatory Act of the
23 96th General Assembly had not been enacted. Upon receipt of the
24 certification, the System shall determine the amount due to the
25 System based on the full rate certified by the Board under
26 Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2010 in order to meet the

 

 

SB3733 - 644 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare
2 this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal
3 year 2010 through payments under this Section. If the amount
4 due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be
5 termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall" for purposes of this
6 Section, and the Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall shall be satisfied
7 under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing
8 Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount
9 received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2010
10 Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year
11 2010 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General
12 Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification.

17     least 4 consecutive years, whichever is greater.
18     However, in the case of a participant who elects to
19 discontinue contributions as provided in subdivision (a)(2) of
20 Section 18-133, the time of such election shall be considered
21 the last day of employment in the determination of final
22 average salary under this subsection.
23     For a participant who first serves as a judge on or after
24 August 10, 2009 (the effective date of Public Act 96-207) this
25 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, final average
26 salary shall be the average monthly salary obtained by dividing

 

 

SB3733 - 652 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the total salary of the participant during the period of: (1)
2 the 48 consecutive months of service within the last 120 months
3 of service in which the total compensation was the highest, or
4 (2) the total period of service, if less than 48 months, by the
5 number of months of service in that period.
6     The maximum retirement annuity for any participant shall be
7 85% of final average salary.
8     (c) The retirement annuity for a participant who retires
9 prior to age 60 with less than 28 years of service in the
10 System shall be reduced 1/2 of 1% for each month that the
11 participant's age is under 60 years at the time the annuity
12 commences. However, for a participant who retires on or after
13 the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
14 Assembly, the percentage reduction in retirement annuity
15 imposed under this subsection shall be reduced by 5/12 of 1%
16 for every month of service in this System in excess of 20
17 years, and therefore a participant with at least 26 years of
18 service in this System may retire at age 55 without any
19 reduction in annuity.
20     The reduction in retirement annuity imposed by this
21 subsection shall not apply in the case of retirement on account
22 of disability.

22 engage in a business that is taxable without registering
23 separately with the Department under an ordinance or resolution

1 collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to

11 1n, 2 through 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in

16 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
17 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if those provisions were
18 set forth in this Section.
19     Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
20 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
21 sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
22 additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
23 in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
24 to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
25 schedules as the Department may prescribe.
26     Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

 

 

SB3733 - 667 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
2 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
3 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
4 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
5 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
6 Treasurer out of the County Public Safety or Transportation
7 Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
8     (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
9 service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
10 upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
11 making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
12 sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
13 the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
14 not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
15 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
16 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food prepared for
17 immediate consumption) and prescription and non-prescription
18 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
19 testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics. The
20 tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that
21 may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
22 enforced by the Department of Revenue. The Department has full
23 power to administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all
24 taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
25 penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and

2 authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
3 accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
4 prescribe.
5     Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
6 made under this subsection 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 County Public Safety or Transportation

16 may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
17     (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
18 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
19 collected under this Section to be deposited into the County
20 Public Safety or Transportation Retailers' Occupation Tax

1 amount to be paid to each county, and deposited by the county
2 into its special fund created for the purposes of this Section,
3 shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
4 under this Section during the second preceding calendar month
5 by the Department plus an amount the Department determines is
6 necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a
7 different taxing body, and not including (i) an amount equal to
8 the amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar
9 month by the Department on behalf of the county and (ii) any
10 amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset
11 any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but
12 were erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after
13 receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement certification to
14 the counties provided for in this Section to be given to the
15 Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the
16 orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance
17 with directions contained in the certification.
18     In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
19 paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year to
20 each county that received more than $500,000 in disbursements
21 under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
22 The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
23 monthly distribution made to each such county under the
24 preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
25 (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution
26 made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an

1 allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
2 preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated
3 and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
4 year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the
5 Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
6 accordance with this paragraph.
7     (d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental
8 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
9 coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
10 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
11 is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
12 coal or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
13 seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
14 sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
15 in interstate or foreign commerce.
16     (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
17 a county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
18 business that under the Constitution of the United States may
19 not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
20     (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the
21 county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
22 of the tax. If the county board lowers the tax rate or
23 discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
24 with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
25 rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.

4 by the county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of
5 Revenue either (i) on or before the first day of April,
6 whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and
7 enforce the tax as of the first day of July next following the
8 filing; or (ii) on or before the first day of October,
9 whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and
10 enforce the tax as of the first day of January next following

12     (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to
13 a county under this Section, the Department shall increase or
14 decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset any
15 miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
16 shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6
17 months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
18     (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County
19 Occupation Tax For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or
20 Transportation Law".
21     (i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes,

19 upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
20 making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
21 sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
22 the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
23 not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
24 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
25 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food prepared for

20     (a) A county may not require a cash bond, irrevocable
21 letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued

23 company from a builder or developer to guarantee completion of
24 a project improvement when the builder or developer has filed

SB3733 - 690 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 surety bond, or letter of commitment, issued by a bank, savings
2 and loan association, surety, or insurance company, deemed good
3 and sufficient by the county accepting such security, in an
4 amount equal to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid
5 on each project improvement. A builder or developer has the
6 option to utilize a cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit,
7 surety bond, or letter of commitment issued by a bank, savings
8 and loan association, surety, or insurance company, deemed good
9 and sufficient by the county, to satisfy any cash bond
10 requirement established by a county. The county must approve
11 and deem a surety or insurance company good and sufficient for
12 the purposes set forth in this Section if the surety or
13 insurance company is authorized by the Illinois Department of

18 register the bond under the address of the project and the
19 construction permit number and (ii) give the builder or
20 developer a receipt for the bond. The county shall establish
21 and maintain a separate account for all cash bonds received
22 from builders and developers to guarantee completion of a

24     (c) The county shall refund a cash bond to a builder or
25 developer, or release the irrevocable letter of credit or
26 surety bond, within 60 days after the builder or developer

 

 

SB3733 - 691 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 notifies the county in writing of the completion of the project
2 improvement for which the bond was required. For these

20     Sec. 7-1-1. Annexation of contiguous territory. Any
21 territory that is not within the corporate limits of any
22 municipality but is contiguous to a municipality may be annexed
23 to the municipality as provided in this Article. For the
24 purposes of this Article any territory to be annexed to a
25 municipality shall be considered to be contiguous to the

 

 

SB3733 - 695 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 municipality notwithstanding that the territory is separated
2 from the municipality by a strip parcel, railroad or public
3 utility right-of-way, or former railroad right-of-way that has
4 been converted to a recreational trail, but upon annexation the
5 area included within that strip parcel, right-of-way, or former
6 right-of-way shall not be considered to be annexed to the
7 municipality. For purposes of this Section, "strip parcel"
8 means a separation no wider than 30 feet between the territory
9 to be annexed and the municipal boundary.
10     Except in counties with a population of more than 600,000
11 but less than 3,000,000, territory which is not contiguous to a
12 municipality but is separated therefrom only by a forest
13 preserve district, federal wildlife refuge, or open land or
14 open space that is part of an open space program, as defined in
15 Section 115-5 of the Township Code, may be annexed to the
16 municipality pursuant to Section 7-1-7 or 7-1-8, but only if
17 the annexing municipality can show that the forest preserve
18 district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
19 creates an artificial barrier preventing the annexation and
20 that the location of the forest preserve district, federal
21 wildlife refuge, open land, or open space property prevents the
22 orderly natural growth of the annexing municipality. It shall
23 be conclusively presumed that the forest preserve district,
24 federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space does not
25 create an artificial barrier if the property sought to be
26 annexed is bounded on at least 3 sides by (i) one or more other

 

 

SB3733 - 696 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 municipalities (other than the municipality seeking annexation
2 through the existing forest preserve district, federal
3 wildlife refuge, open land, or open space), (ii) forest
4 preserve district property, federal wildlife refuge, open
5 land, or open space, or (iii) a combination of other
6 municipalities and forest preserve district property, federal
7 wildlife refuge property, open land, or open space. It shall
8 also be conclusively presumed that the forest preserve
9 district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
10 does not create an artificial barrier if the municipality
11 seeking annexation is not the closest municipality within the
12 county to the property to be annexed. The territory included
13 within such forest preserve district, federal wildlife refuge,
14 open land, or open space shall not be annexed to the
15 municipality nor shall the territory of the forest preserve
16 district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space be
17 subject to rights-of-way for access or services between the
18 parts of the municipality separated by the forest preserve
19 district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
20 without the consent of the governing body of the forest
21 preserve district or federal wildlife refuge. The changes made
22 to this Section by Public Act 91-824 this amendatory Act of
23 91st General Assembly are declaratory of existing law and shall
24 not be construed as a new enactment.

1 municipality that is partially located in territory that is
2 wholly surrounded by the Mississippi River and a canal,
3 connected at both ends to the Mississippi River and located on
4 property owned by the United States of America, may annex
5 noncontiguous territory in the surrounded territory under
6 Sections 7-1-7, 7-1-8, or 7-1-9 if that territory is separated
7 from the municipality by property owned by the United States of
8 America, but that federal property shall not be annexed without
9 the consent of the federal government.
10     For the purposes of this Article, any territory to be
11 annexed to a municipality that is located in a county with more
12 than 500,000 inhabitants shall be considered to be contiguous
13 to the municipality if only a river and a national heritage
14 corridor separate the territory from the municipality. Upon
15 annexation, no river or national heritage corridor shall be
16 considered annexed to the municipality.
17     When any land proposed to be annexed is part of any Fire
18 Protection District or of any Public Library District and the
19 annexing municipality provides fire protection or a public
20 library, as the case may be, the Trustees of each District
21 shall be notified in writing by certified or registered mail
22 before any court hearing or other action is taken for
23 annexation. The notice shall be served 10 days in advance. An
24 affidavit that service of notice has been had as provided by
25 this Section must be filed with the clerk of the court in which
26 the annexation proceedings are pending or will be instituted

1 or, when no court proceedings are involved, with the recorder
2 for the county where the land is situated. No annexation of
3 that land is effective unless service is had and the affidavit
4 filed as provided in this Section.
5     The new boundary shall extend to the far side of any
6 adjacent highway and shall include all of every highway within
7 the area annexed. These highways shall be considered to be
8 annexed even though not included in the legal description set
9 forth in the petition for annexation. When any land proposed to
10 be annexed includes any highway under the jurisdiction of any
11 township, the Township Commissioner of Highways, the Board of
12 Town Trustees, the Township Supervisor, and the Township Clerk
13 shall be notified in writing by certified or registered mail
14 before any court hearing or other action is taken for
15 annexation. In the event that a municipality fails to notify
16 the Township Commissioner of Highways, the Board of Town
17 Trustees, the Township Supervisor, and the Township Clerk of
18 the annexation of an area within the township, the municipality
19 shall reimburse that township for any loss or liability caused
20 by the failure to give notice. If any municipality has annexed
21 any area before October 1, 1975, and the legal description in
22 the petition for annexation did not include the entire adjacent
23 highway, any such annexation shall be valid and any highway
24 adjacent to the area annexed shall be considered to be annexed
25 notwithstanding the failure of the petition to annex to include
26 the description of the entire adjacent highway.

2 11-20-7, 11-20-8, 11-20-12, or 11-20-13 with respect to any

5 encumbrances, except tax liens and as otherwise provided in
6 subsection (c) of this Section.
7     (b) To perfect a lien under this Section, the municipality
8 must, within one year after the removal cost is incurred, file
9 notice of lien in the office of the recorder in the county in
10 which the underlying parcel is located or, if the underlying
11 parcel is registered under the Torrens system, in the office of
12 the Registrar of Titles of that county. The notice must consist
13 of a sworn statement setting out:
14         (1) a description of the underlying parcel that
15     sufficiently identifies the parcel;
16         (2) the amount of the removal cost; and
17         (3) the date or dates when the removal cost was
18     incurred by the municipality.
19     If, for any one parcel, the municipality engaged in any
20 removal activity on more than one occasion during the course of
21 one year, then the municipality may combine any or all of the
22 costs of each of those activities into a single notice of lien.
23     (c) A lien under this Section is not valid as to: (i) any
24 purchaser whose rights in and to the underlying parcel arose
25 after the removal activity but before the filing of the notice
26 of lien; or (ii) any mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other

 

 

SB3733 - 709 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 lienor whose rights in and to the underlying parcel arose
2 before the filing of the notice of lien.
3     (d) The removal cost is not a lien on the underlying parcel
4 unless a notice is personally served on, or sent by certified
5 mail to, the person to whom was sent the tax bill for the
6 general taxes on the property for the taxable year immediately
7 preceding the removal activities. The notice must be delivered
8 or sent after the removal activities have been performed, and
9 it must: (i) state the substance of this Section and the
10 substance of any ordinance of the municipality implementing
11 this Section; (ii) identify the underlying parcel, by common
12 description; and (iii) describe the removal activity.
13     (e) A lien under this Section may be enforced by
14 proceedings to foreclose as in case of mortgages or mechanics'
15 liens. An action to foreclose a lien under this Section must be
16 commenced within 2 years after the date of filing notice of
17 lien.
18     (f) Any person who performs a removal activity by the
19 authority of the municipality may, in his or her own name, file
20 a lien and foreclose on that lien in the same manner as a
21 municipality under this Section.
22     (g) A failure to file a foreclosure action does not, in any
23 way, affect the validity of the lien against the underlying
24 parcel.
25     (h) Upon payment of the lien cost by the owner of the
26 underlying parcel after notice of lien has been filed, the

 

 

SB3733 - 710 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 municipality (or its agent under subsection (f)) shall release
2 the lien, and the release may be filed of record by the owner
3 at his or her sole expense as in the case of filing notice of
4 lien.

19 inspection functions for the municipality. The municipality
20 must pay the county's reasonable costs. An intergovernmental
21 agreement shall not preclude a municipality from continuing to
22 license retail food establishments within its jurisdiction.

7     (a) A municipality may not require a cash bond, irrevocable
8 letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued
9 by a bank, savings and loan association, surety, or insurance
10 company from a builder or developer to guarantee completion of

13 credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued by a bank,
14 savings and loan association, surety, or insurance company,
15 deemed good and sufficient by the municipality accepting such
16 security, in an amount equal to or greater than 110% of the
17 amount of the bid on each project improvement. A builder or

19 letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment, issued
20 by a bank, savings and loan association, surety, or insurance
21 company, deemed good and sufficient by the municipality, to
22 satisfy any cash bond requirement established by a

26         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of

 

 

SB3733 - 719 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

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

 

 

SB3733 - 721 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
2         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
3         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
4             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
5         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
6         vacant land.
7             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
8         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
9         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
10         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
11         having expertise in environmental remediation has
12         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
13         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
14         required by State or federal law, provided that the
15         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
16         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
17         project area.
18             (F) 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

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

 

 

SB3733 - 723 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 724 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
2 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
3 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
4 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
5 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
6         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
7     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
8     components of buildings or improvements in such a
9     combination that a documented building condition analysis
10     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
11     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
12     removed.
13         (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
14     into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
15     original use.
16         (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
17     including, but not limited to, major defects in the
18     secondary building components such as doors, windows,
19     porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
20     to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
21     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
22     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
23     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
24     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
25     through paved surfaces.
26         (4) Presence of structures below minimum code

 

 

SB3733 - 725 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     standards. All structures that do not meet the standards of
2     zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
3     governmental codes applicable to property, but not
4     including housing and property maintenance codes.
5         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
6     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
7     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
8     of structures below minimum code standards.
9         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
10     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
11     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
12     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
13         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
14     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
15     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
16     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
17     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
18     and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
19     skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
20     improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
21     area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
22     absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
23     bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
24     structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
25     and from all rooms and units within a building.
26         (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead

 

 

SB3733 - 726 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
2     sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical
3     services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate
4     utilities are those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity
5     to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area, (ii)
6     deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or
7     (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project area.
8         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
9     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
10     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
11     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
12     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
13     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
14     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
15     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
16     standards of development for health and safety and the
17     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
18     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
19     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
20     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
21     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
22     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
23     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of
24     reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
25     provision for loading and service.
26         (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of

 

 

SB3733 - 727 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
2     inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
3     noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
4     area.
5         (11) 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. This
8     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
9     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
10     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
11     area's development. This factor must be documented by
12     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
13     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
14     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
15     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
16     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
17         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
18     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
19     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
20     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
21     having expertise in environmental remediation has
22     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
23     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
24     required by State or federal law, provided that the
25     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
26     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project

 

 

SB3733 - 728 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     area.
2         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
3     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5
4     calendar years for which information is available or is
5     increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance
6     of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for
7     which information is available or is increasing at an
8     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for
9     All Urban Consumers published by the United States
10     Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5
11     calendar years for which information is available.
12     (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or
13 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing,
14 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of
15 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills,
16 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants,
17 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers,
18 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight
19 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad
20 facilities.
21     (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area
22 within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located
23 within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor
24 surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the territorial
25 limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus municipality
26 if the area is annexed to the municipality; which area is zoned

 

 

SB3733 - 729 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 as industrial no later than at the time the municipality by
2 ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which
3 area includes both vacant land suitable for use as an
4 industrial park and a blighted area or conservation area
5 contiguous to such vacant land.
6     (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
7 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
8 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
9 the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of
10 the national average unemployment rate for that same time as
11 published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
12 Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
13 Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
14 this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the
15 municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in the
16 municipality shall be deemed to be the same as the unemployment
17 rate in the principal county in which the municipality is
18 located.
19     (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village,
20 incorporated town, or a township that is located in the
21 unincorporated portion of a county with 3 million or more
22 inhabitants, if the county adopted an ordinance that approved
23 the township's redevelopment plan.
24     (g) "Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount of taxes

1 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the Municipal
2 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen on
3 transactions at places located in a State Sales Tax Boundary
4 during the calendar year 1985.
5     (g-1) "Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount
6 of taxes paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax
7 Act, Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the
8 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the Municipal
9 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen on
10 transactions at places located within the State Sales Tax
11 Boundary revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) of this Act.
12     (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal
13 to the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid to a
14 municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising from
15 sales by retailers and servicemen within the redevelopment
16 project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be,
17 for as long as the redevelopment project area or State Sales
18 Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist over and above the
19 aggregate amount of taxes as certified by the Illinois
20 Department of Revenue and paid under the Municipal Retailers'
21 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act
22 by retailers and servicemen, on transactions at places of
23 business located in the redevelopment project area or State
24 Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, during the base year
25 which shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year
26 in which the municipality adopted tax increment allocation

 

 

SB3733 - 731 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 financing. For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of
2 such taxes for base years occurring prior to 1985, the
3 Department of Revenue shall determine the Initial Sales Tax
4 Amounts for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to
5 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the
6 base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction
7 of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as the
8 "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts". For purposes of
9 determining the Municipal Sales Tax Increment, the Department
10 of Revenue shall for each period subtract from the amount paid
11 to the municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising
12 from sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions located
13 in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax
14 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
15 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
16 Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
17 Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
18 Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
19 made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
20 amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
21 calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
22 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
23 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
24 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
25 Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
26 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the

 

 

SB3733 - 732 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
2 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991,
3 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from
4 October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts
5 received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
6 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
7 Occupation Tax Act which shall have deducted therefrom
8 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
9 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
10 Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
11 thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
12 beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
13 amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
14 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales
15 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the
16 case may be.
17     (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the
18 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax

20 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
21 $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually generated within
22 a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
23 excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
24 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a
25 municipality established a tax increment financing district in
26 a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 before

 

 

SB3733 - 733 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a contract
2 or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31,
3 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs within a State
4 Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment
5 means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1,
6 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated
7 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any
8 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the
9 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those municipalities
10 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any
11 distribution to any other municipality and regardless of
12 whether or not those other municipalities will receive 100% of
13 their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year 1999, and
14 every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
15 that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds
16 prior to June 1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs
17 within a State Sales Tax Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax
18 Increment shall be calculated as follows: By multiplying the
19 Net State Sales Tax Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year
20 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State
21 Fiscal Year 2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the
22 State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30%
23 in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year
24 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall
25 be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
26     Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a

 

 

SB3733 - 734 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
2 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
3 entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
4 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
5 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
6 Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
7 which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated. If,
8 however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection with a
9 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
10 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
11 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
12 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
13 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
14 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
15 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
16 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
17 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
18 contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net
19 State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002;
20 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
21 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State
22 Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
23 payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and
24 thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to July 29,
25 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
26     (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount

 

 

SB3733 - 735 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax
2 charges imposed on owners and tenants, other than residential
3 customers, of properties located within the redevelopment
4 project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
5 over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
6 the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other
7 than residential customers, of properties within the
8 redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall be
9 the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the adoption
10 of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
11 financing.
12     (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
13 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
14 Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
15 (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
16 $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
17 by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
18 excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
19 generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal

25 revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
26 derived from real property that has been acquired by a

 

 

SB3733 - 737 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 municipality which according to the redevelopment project or
2 plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
3 would have received had a municipality not acquired the real
4 property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
5 which would result from levies made after the time of the
6 adoption of tax increment allocation financing to the time the
7 current equalized value of real property in the redevelopment

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

5     project costs;
6         (B) evidence indicating that the redevelopment project
7     area on the whole has not been subject to growth and
8     development through investment by private enterprise;
9         (C) an assessment of any financial impact of the
10     redevelopment project area on or any increased demand for
11     services from any taxing district affected by the plan and
12     any program to address such financial impact or increased
13     demand;
14         (D) the sources of funds to pay costs;
15         (E) the nature and term of the obligations to be

4     operation of the facilities to be developed; and
5         (J) if property is to be annexed to the municipality,
6     the plan shall include the terms of the annexation
7     agreement.
8     The provisions of items (B) and (C) of this subsection (n)
9 shall not apply to a municipality that before March 14, 1994
10 (the effective date of Public Act 88-537) had fixed, either by
11 its corporate authorities or by a commission designated under
12 subsection (k) of Section 11-74.4-4, a time and place for a
13 public hearing as required by subsection (a) of Section
14 11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
15 municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
16         (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
17     project area on the whole has not been subject to growth
18     and development through investment by private enterprise
19     and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed
20     without the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
21         (2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan
22     and project conform to the comprehensive plan for the
23     development of the municipality as a whole, or, for
24     municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more,
25     regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
26     adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)

 

 

SB3733 - 740 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 741 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
2     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
3     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
4     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
5     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
6     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
7     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
8     area.
9         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
10     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
11     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
12     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
13     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
14     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
15     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
16     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
17     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
18     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
19     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
20     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
21         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
22     data as to whether the residential units are single family
23     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
24     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
25     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
26     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the

 

 

SB3733 - 742 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
2     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
3     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
4     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
5     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
6     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
7     data from the most recent federal census.
8         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
9     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
10     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
11     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
12     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
13     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
14     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
15     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
16     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
17     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
18     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
19     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
20     relocation assistance to be provided.
21         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
22     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
23     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
24         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
25     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
26     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of

 

 

SB3733 - 743 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
2     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
3     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
4     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
5     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
6     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
7     less than that which would be provided under the federal
8     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
9     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
10     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
11     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
12     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
13     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
14     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
15     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
16     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
17     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
18     the municipality.
19         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
20     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
21     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
22     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
23     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
24     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
25     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
26         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior

1     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
2     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
3     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
4     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
5     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
6     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
7     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
8     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
9     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
10     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
11     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
12     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
13     the date the plan was adopted.
14     (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private

10 Assembly, a redevelopment project area may include areas within
11 a one-half mile radius of an existing or proposed Regional
12 Transportation Authority Suburban Transit Access Route (STAR
13 Line) station without a finding that the area is classified as
14 an industrial park conservation area, a blighted area, a

15     municipality that plans to designate or has designated a
16     redevelopment project area shall inform the municipality
17     in writing of any contracts that the consultant or advisor
18     has entered into with entities or individuals that have

1             assistance under this Act.
2             (C) For any school district in a municipality with
3         a population in excess of 1,000,000, the following
4         restrictions shall apply to the reimbursement of
5         increased costs under this paragraph (7.5):
6                 (i) no increased costs shall be reimbursed
7             unless the school district certifies that each of
8             the schools affected by the assisted housing
9             project is at or over its student capacity;
10                 (ii) the amount reimbursable shall be reduced
11             by the value of any land donated to the school
12             district by the municipality or developer, and by
13             the value of any physical improvements made to the
14             schools by the municipality or developer; and
15                 (iii) the amount reimbursed may not affect
16             amounts otherwise obligated by the terms of any
17             bonds, notes, or other funding instruments, or the
18             terms of any redevelopment agreement.
19         Any school district seeking payment under this
20         paragraph (7.5) shall, after July 1 and before
21         September 30 of each year, provide the municipality
22         with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
23         reimbursement before the municipality shall be
24         required to approve or make the payment to the school
25         district. If the school district fails to provide the
26         information during this period in any year, it shall

 

 

SB3733 - 754 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
2         School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
3         right to all or a portion of the reimbursement
4         otherwise required by this paragraph (7.5). By
5         acceptance of this reimbursement the school district
6         waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside,
7         modify, or contest in any manner the establishment of
8         the redevelopment project area or projects;
9         (7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
10     redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
11     number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
12     on or after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public
13     Act 93-961), a public library district's increased costs
14     attributable to assisted housing units located within the
15     redevelopment project area for which the developer or
16     redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
17     agreement with the municipality or because the
18     municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
19     improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
20     sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
21     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
22     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
23     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
24     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
25     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
26     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension

 

 

SB3733 - 755 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
2     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
3     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
4     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
5     referendum.
6         The amount paid to a library district under this
7     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
8     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
9     library card in that district who reside in housing units
10     within the redevelopment project area that have received
11     financial assistance through an agreement with the
12     municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of
13     necessary infrastructure improvements within the
14     boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
15     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
16     the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
17     the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
18     as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be
19     the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in
20     the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics
21     produced by the Library Research Center at the University
22     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
23     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
24     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
25     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
26     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no

 

 

SB3733 - 756 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
2     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
3         A library district is not eligible for any payment
4     under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
5     experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
6     municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
7     district since the designation of the redevelopment
8     project area.
9         Any library district seeking payment under this
10     paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
11     of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
12     evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
13     municipality shall be required to approve or make the
14     payment to the library district. If the library district
15     fails to provide the information during this period in any
16     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
17     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
18     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
19     required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
20     reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
21     right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
22     contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
23     redevelopment project area or projects;
24         (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality
25     determines that relocation costs shall be paid or is
26     required to make payment of relocation costs by federal or

1     State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
2     subsection (n);
3         (9) Payment in lieu of taxes;
4         (10) Costs of job training, retraining, advanced
5     vocational education or career education, including but
6     not limited to courses in occupational, semi-technical or
7     technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
8     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
9     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
10     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
11     career education programs for persons employed or to be
12     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
13     area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing
14     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
15     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
16     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
17     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
18     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
19     description of the training and services to be provided,
20     the number and type of positions available or to be
21     available, itemized costs of the program and sources of
22     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
23     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
24     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,
25     3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by
26     school districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a

 

 

SB3733 - 758 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
2         (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related to
3     the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a
4     redevelopment project provided that:
5             (A) such costs are to be paid directly from the
6         special tax allocation fund established pursuant to
7         this Act;
8             (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
9         30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
10         redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
11         during that year;
12             (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
13         the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
14         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
15         shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
16         available in the special tax allocation fund;
17             (D) the total of such interest payments paid
18         pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
19         (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
20         redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
21         costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
22         relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
23         to this Act; and
24             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
25         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
26         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for

 

 

SB3733 - 759 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 760 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
2         part of a residential redevelopment project that
3         includes units not affordable to low and very
4         low-income households, only the low and very
5         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
6         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
7         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
8         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
9         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
10         constructed with eligible costs made available under
11         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
12         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
13         municipality. The responsibility for annually
14         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
15         low-income households and very low-income households,
16         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
17         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
18         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
19         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
20         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
21         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
22         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
23         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
24         very low-income households. As units become available,
25         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
26         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to

 

 

SB3733 - 761 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
2         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
3         for costs associated with the units or for the
4         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
5         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
6         is later.
7         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
8     within a municipality with a population of more than
9     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
10     employees from low-income families working for businesses
11     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
12     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
13     established by redevelopment project area businesses to
14     serve employees from low-income families working in
15     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
16     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
17     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
18     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
19     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
20     county, or regional median income are determined from time
21     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
22     Urban Development.
23         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
24     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
25     an eligible redevelopment project cost.
26         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of

 

 

SB3733 - 762 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
2     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
3     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
4     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
5     operations in the redevelopment project area while
6     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
7     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
8     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
9     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
10     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
11     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
12     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
13     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
14     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
15     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
16     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
17     location contained inadequate space, had become
18     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
19     for the retailer or serviceman.
20         (14) No cost shall be a redevelopment project cost in a
21     redevelopment project area if used to demolish, remove, or
22     substantially modify a historic resource, after August 26,
23     2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-934), unless no
24     prudent and feasible alternative exists. "Historic
25     resource" for the purpose of this item (14) means (i) a
26     place or structure that is included or eligible for

 

 

SB3733 - 763 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places or
2     (ii) a contributing structure in a district on the National
3     Register of Historic Places. This item (14) does not apply
4     to a place or structure for which demolition, removal, or
5     modification is subject to review by the preservation
6     agency of a Certified Local Government designated as such
7     by the National Park Service of the United States
8     Department of the Interior.
9     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
10 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
11 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
12 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
13 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
14 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
15 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
16     (q-1) For redevelopment project areas created pursuant to
17 subsection (p-1), "redevelopment project costs" are limited to
18 those costs in paragraph (q) that are related to the existing
19 or proposed Regional Transportation Authority Suburban Transit
20 Access Route (STAR Line) station.
21     (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
22 project area or the amended redevelopment project area
23 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of

1 Sales Tax Increment.
2     (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
3 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by retailers
4 and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen subject to
5 the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at places of business
6 located within a State Sales Tax Boundary pursuant to the
7 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use
8 Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
9 portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local
10 Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
11 the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
12 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
13 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
14 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
15 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
16 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
17 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
18 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
19 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
20 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts
21 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
22 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
23 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to
24 cover its costs of administering and enforcing this Section.
25 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
26 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of

 

 

SB3733 - 765 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
2 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
3 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
4 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
5 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted
6 Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of determining the
7 State Sales Tax Increment the Department of Revenue shall for
8 each period subtract from the tax amounts received from
9 retailers and servicemen on transactions located in the State
10 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
11 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
12 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
13 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
14 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
15 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
16 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
17 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
18 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
19 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
20 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax
21 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
22 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
23 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
24 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
25 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
26 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified

 

 

SB3733 - 766 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
2 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
3 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
4 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
5 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
6 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
7 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
8 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
9 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list
10 of retailers to the Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988
11 and by July 31, of each year thereafter.
12     (t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities
13 and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park,
14 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,

16 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
17 power to levy taxes.
18     (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
19 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
20 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly
21 result from the redevelopment project.
22     (v) As used in subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-3 of this
23 Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
24 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
25 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
26 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation

 

 

SB3733 - 767 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
2 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel
3 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
4 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
5 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
6 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
7 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality
8 taken in that connection with respect to any previously
9 approved or designated redevelopment project area or amended
10 redevelopment project area are hereby validated and hereby
11 declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of this Act.
12 For purposes of this Section and only for land subject to the
13 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
14 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project
15 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,
16 acknowledged, approved, and recorded or filed in accordance
17 with the Plat Act and a preliminary plat, if any, for any
18 subsequent phases of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area or
19 relevant portion thereof has been properly approved and filed
20 in accordance with the applicable ordinance of the
21 municipality.

5     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
6 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
7 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
8 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
9 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
10 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
11 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
12 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
13 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the

15 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
16 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
17 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
18 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
19 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
20 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
21 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
22 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
23 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
24 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
25 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation

1 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment
2 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
3 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
4 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
5 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
6 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
7 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
8 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
9 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
10 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
11 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
12 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
13 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
14 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
15 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
16 received from that source. The County Collector shall
17 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
18 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
19 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
20 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
21 project area.
22     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
23 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
24 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
25 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
26 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)

 

 

SB3733 - 782 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
2 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
3 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
4 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
5 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
6 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
7     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
8 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
9 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
10 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
11 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
12 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
13 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
14 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
15 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
16 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
17 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
18 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
19 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
20 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
21 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
22     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
23 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
24 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
25 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
26 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of

1 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
2 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
3 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
4 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
5 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
6 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
7 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
8 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
9 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
10 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
11 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective

13 to any individual requesting one.
14     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
15 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
16 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
17 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
18 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
19 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
20 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
21 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
22 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
23 pledging taxes for the payment of such obligations, or both, be
24 submitted to the electors of the municipality, the corporate
25 authorities of the municipality shall call a special election

18 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
19 annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
20 sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
21 it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
22 the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
23 municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
24 extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
25 of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
26 said monies available to the county clerk.

22     All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to
23 this Act shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
24 municipality issuing such obligations or any other taxing
25 district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.

1     Section 260. The School Code is amended by changing
2 Sections 2-3.64, 2-3.117a, 10-20.21, 10-22.3f, 10-22.31,
3 10-22.39, 18-8.05, 19-1, 24-6, 27A-5, and 27A-8, by setting
4 forth and renumbering multiple versions of Sections 2-3.148,
5 22-50, and 34-18.37, and by setting forth, renumbering, and
6 changing multiple versions of Section 10-20.46 as follows:
 
7     (105 ILCS 5/2-3.64)  (from Ch. 122, par. 2-3.64)
8     Sec. 2-3.64. State goals and assessment.
9     (a) Beginning in the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board
10 of Education shall establish standards and periodically, in
11 collaboration with local school districts, conduct studies of
12 student performance in the learning areas of fine arts and
13 physical development/health.
14     Beginning with the 1998-1999 school year until the
15 2004-2005 school year, the State Board of Education shall
16 annually test: (i) all pupils enrolled in the 3rd, 5th, and 8th
17 grades in English language arts (reading, writing, and English
18 grammar) and mathematics; and (ii) all pupils enrolled in the
19 4th and 7th grades in the biological and physical sciences and
20 the social sciences (history, geography, civics, economics,
21 and government). Unless the testing required to be implemented
22 no later than the 2005-2006 school year under this subsection
23 (a) is implemented for the 2004-2005 school year, for the
24 2004-2005 school year, the State Board of Education shall test:

 

 

SB3733 - 794 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 (i) all pupils enrolled in the 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades in
2 English language arts (reading and English grammar) and
3 mathematics and (ii) all pupils enrolled in the 4th and 7th
4 grades in the biological and physical sciences. The maximum
5 time allowed for all actual testing required under this
6 paragraph shall not exceed 25 hours, as allocated among the
7 required tests by the State Board of Education, across all
8 grades tested.
9     Beginning no later than the 2005-2006 school year, the
10 State Board of Education shall annually test: (i) all pupils
11 enrolled in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in
12 reading and mathematics and (ii) all pupils enrolled in the 4th
13 and 7th grades in the biological and physical sciences. In
14 addition, the State Board of Education shall test (1) all
15 pupils enrolled in the 5th and 8th grades in writing during the
16 2006-2007 school year; (2) all pupils enrolled in the 5th, 6th,

18 (3) all pupils enrolled in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 8th grades in
19 writing during the 2008-2009 school year and each school year
20 thereafter. After the addition of grades and change in subjects
21 as delineated in this paragraph and including whatever other
22 tests that may be approved from time to time no later than the
23 2005-2006 school year, the maximum time allowed for all State
24 testing in grades 3 through 8 shall not exceed 38 hours across
25 those grades.
26     Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, the State Board

 

 

SB3733 - 795 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of Education shall not test pupils under this subsection (a) in
2 physical development and health, fine arts, and the social
3 sciences (history, geography, civics, economics, and
4 government). The State Board of Education shall not test pupils
5 under this subsection (a) in writing during the 2005-2006
6 school year.
7     The State Board of Education shall establish the academic
8 standards that are to be applicable to pupils who are subject
9 to State tests under this Section beginning with the 1998-1999
10 school year. However, the State Board of Education shall not
11 establish any such standards in final form without first
12 providing opportunities for public participation and local
13 input in the development of the final academic standards. Those
14 opportunities shall include a well-publicized period of public
15 comment, public hearings throughout the State, and
16 opportunities to file written comments. Beginning with the
17 1998-99 school year and thereafter, the State tests will
18 identify pupils in the 3rd grade or 5th grade who do not meet
19 the State standards.
20     If, by performance on the State tests or local assessments
21 or by teacher judgment, a student's performance is determined
22 to be 2 or more grades below current placement, the student
23 shall be provided a remediation program developed by the
24 district in consultation with a parent or guardian. Such
25 remediation programs may include, but shall not be limited to,
26 increased or concentrated instructional time, a remedial

 

 

SB3733 - 796 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 summer school program of not less than 90 hours, improved
2 instructional approaches, tutorial sessions, retention in
3 grade, and modifications to instructional materials. Each
4 pupil for whom a remediation program is developed under this
5 subsection shall be required to enroll in and attend whatever
6 program the district determines is appropriate for the pupil.
7 Districts may combine students in remediation programs where
8 appropriate and may cooperate with other districts in the
9 design and delivery of those programs. The parent or guardian
10 of a student required to attend a remediation program under
11 this Section shall be given written notice of that requirement
12 by the school district a reasonable time prior to commencement
13 of the remediation program that the student is to attend. The
14 State shall be responsible for providing school districts with
15 the new and additional funding, under Section 2-3.51.5 or by
16 other or additional means, that is required to enable the
17 districts to operate remediation programs for the pupils who
18 are required to enroll in and attend those programs under this
19 Section. Every individualized educational program as described
20 in Article 14 shall identify if the State test or components
21 thereof are appropriate for that student. The State Board of
22 Education shall develop rules and regulations governing the
23 administration of alternative tests prescribed within each
24 student's individualized educational program which are
25 appropriate to the disability of each student.
26     All pupils who are in a State approved transitional

 

 

SB3733 - 797 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 bilingual education program or transitional program of
2 instruction shall participate in the State tests. The time
3 allotted to take the State tests, however, may be extended as
4 determined by the State Board of Education by rule. Any student
5 who has been enrolled in a State approved bilingual education
6 program less than 3 cumulative academic years may take an
7 accommodated Limited English Proficient student academic
8 content assessment, as determined by the State Board of
9 Education, if the student's lack of English as determined by an
10 English language proficiency test would keep the student from
11 understanding the regular State test. If the school district
12 determines, on a case-by-case individual basis, that a Limited
13 English Proficient student academic content assessment would
14 likely yield more accurate and reliable information on what the
15 student knows and can do, the school district may make a
16 determination to assess the student using a Limited English
17 Proficient student academic content assessment for a period
18 that does not exceed 2 additional consecutive years, provided
19 that the student has not yet reached a level of English
20 language proficiency sufficient to yield valid and reliable
21 information on what the student knows and can do on the regular
22 State test.
23     Reasonable accommodations as prescribed by the State Board
24 of Education shall be provided for individual students in the
25 testing procedure. All test procedures prescribed by the State
26 Board of Education shall require: (i) that each test used for

 

 

SB3733 - 798 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 State and local student testing under this Section identify by
2 name the pupil taking the test; (ii) that the name of the pupil
3 taking the test be placed on the test at the time the test is
4 taken; (iii) that the results or scores of each test taken
5 under this Section by a pupil of the school district be
6 reported to that district and identify by name the pupil who
7 received the reported results or scores; and (iv) that the
8 results or scores of each test taken under this Section be made
9 available to the parents of the pupil. In addition, in each
10 school year the scores attained by a student on the Prairie
11 State Achievement Examination administered under subsection
12 (c) of this Section and any Prairie State Achievement Awards
13 received by the student shall become part of the student's
14 permanent record and shall be entered on the student's
15 transcript pursuant to regulations that the State Board of
16 Education shall promulgate for that purpose in accordance with
17 Section 3 and subsection (e) of Section 2 of the Illinois
18 School Student Records Act. Beginning with the 1998-1999 school
19 year and in every school year thereafter, scores received by
20 students on the State assessment tests administered in grades 3
21 through 8 shall be placed into students' temporary records.
22     The State Board of Education shall establish a period of
23 time, to be referred to as the State test window, in each
24 school year for which State testing shall occur to meet the
25 objectives of this Section. However, if the schools of a
26 district are closed and classes are not scheduled during any

 

 

SB3733 - 799 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 week that is established by the State Board of Education as the
2 State test window, the school district may (at the discretion
3 of the State Board of Education) move its State test window one
4 week earlier or one week later than the established State test
5 window, so long as the school district gives the State Board of
6 Education written notice of its intention to deviate from the
7 established schedule by December 1 of the school year in which
8 falls the State test window established by the State Board of
9 Education for the testing.
10     (a-5) All tests administered pursuant to this Section shall
11 be academically based. For the purposes of this Section
12 "academically based tests" shall mean tests consisting of
13 questions and answers that are measurable and quantifiable to
14 measure the knowledge, skill, and ability of students in the
15 subject matters covered by tests. The scoring of academically
16 based tests shall be reliable, valid, unbiased and shall meet
17 the guidelines for test development and use prescribed by the
18 American Psychological Association, the National Council of
19 Measurement and Evaluation, and the American Educational
20 Research Association. Academically based tests shall not
21 include assessments or evaluations of attitudes, values, or
22 beliefs, or testing of personality, self-esteem, or
23 self-concept. Nothing in this amendatory Act is intended, nor
24 shall it be construed, to nullify, supersede, or contradict the
25 legislative intent on academic testing expressed during the
26 passage of HB 1005/P.A. 90-296. Nothing in this Section is

 

 

SB3733 - 800 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 intended, nor shall it be construed, to nullify, supersede, or
2 contradict the legislative intent on academic testing
3 expressed in the preamble of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
4 General Assembly.
5     The State Board of Education shall monitor the use of short
6 answer questions in the math and reading assessments or in
7 other assessments in order to demonstrate that the use of short
8 answer questions results in a statistically significant
9 improvement in student achievement as measured on the State
10 assessments for math and reading or on other State assessments
11 and is justifiable in terms of cost and student performance.
12     (b) It shall be the policy of the State to encourage school
13 districts to continuously test pupil proficiency in the
14 fundamental learning areas in order to: (i) provide timely
15 information on individual students' performance relative to
16 State standards that is adequate to guide instructional
17 strategies; (ii) improve future instruction; and (iii)
18 complement the information provided by the State testing system
19 described in this Section. To assist school districts in
20 testing pupil proficiency in reading in the primary grades, the
21 State Board shall make optional reading inventories for
22 diagnostic purposes available to each school district that
23 requests such assistance. Districts that administer the
24 reading inventories may develop remediation programs for
25 students who perform in the bottom half of the student
26 population. Those remediation programs may be funded by moneys

2 Block Grant Program established under Section 2-3.51.5.
3     (c) Beginning with the 2000-2001 school year, each school
4 district that operates a high school program for students in
5 grades 9 through 12 shall annually administer the Prairie State
6 Achievement Examination established under this subsection to
7 its students as set forth below. The Prairie State Achievement
8 Examination shall be developed by the State Board of Education
9 to measure student performance in the academic areas of
10 reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social sciences.
11 Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, however, the State
12 Board of Education shall not test a student in the social
13 sciences (history, geography, civics, economics, and
14 government) as part of the Prairie State Achievement
15 Examination unless the student is retaking the Prairie State
16 Achievement Examination in the fall of 2004. In addition, the
17 State Board of Education shall not test a student in writing as
18 part of the Prairie State Achievement Examination during the
19 2005-2006 school year. The State Board of Education shall
20 establish the academic standards that are to apply in measuring
21 student performance on the Prairie State Achievement
22 Examination including the minimum examination score in each
23 area that will qualify a student to receive a Prairie State
24 Achievement Award from the State in recognition of the
25 student's excellent performance. Each school district that is
26 subject to the requirements of this subsection (c) shall afford

 

 

SB3733 - 802 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 all students one opportunity to take the Prairie State
2 Achievement Examination beginning as late as practical during
3 the spring semester of grade 11, but in no event before March
4 1. The State Board of Education shall annually notify districts
5 of the weeks during which this test administration shall be
6 required to occur. Every individualized educational program as
7 described in Article 14 shall identify if the Prairie State
8 Achievement Examination or components thereof are appropriate
9 for that student. Each student, exclusive of a student whose
10 individualized educational program developed under Article 14
11 identifies the Prairie State Achievement Examination as
12 inappropriate for the student, shall be required to take the
13 examination in grade 11. For each academic area the State Board
14 of Education shall establish the score that qualifies for the
15 Prairie State Achievement Award on that portion of the
16 examination. Districts shall inform their students of the
17 timelines and procedures applicable to their participation in
18 every yearly administration of the Prairie State Achievement
19 Examination. Students receiving special education services
20 whose individualized educational programs identify the Prairie
21 State Achievement Examination as inappropriate for them
22 nevertheless shall have the option of taking the examination,
23 which shall be administered to those students in accordance
24 with standards adopted by the State Board of Education to
25 accommodate the respective disabilities of those students. A
26 student who successfully completes all other applicable high

 

 

SB3733 - 803 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 school graduation requirements but fails to receive a score on
2 the Prairie State Achievement Examination that qualifies the
3 student for receipt of a Prairie State Achievement Award shall
4 nevertheless qualify for the receipt of a regular high school
5 diploma. In no case, however, shall a student receive a regular
6 high school diploma without taking the Prairie State
7 Achievement Examination, unless the student is exempted from
8 taking the Prairie State Achievement Examination under this
9 subsection (c) because (i) the student's individualized
10 educational program developed under Article 14 of this Code
11 identifies the Prairie State Achievement Examination as
12 inappropriate for the student, (ii) the student is exempt due
13 to the student's lack of English language proficiency under
14 subsection (a) of this Section, (iii) the student is enrolled
15 in a program of Adult and Continuing Education as defined in
16 the Adult Education Act, (iv) the school district is not
17 required to test the individual student for purposes of
18 accountability under federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
19 requirements, or (v) the student is otherwise identified by the
20 State Board of Education through rules as being exempt from the
21 assessment.
22     (d) Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, all schools
23 in this State that are part of the sample drawn by the National
24 Center for Education Statistics, in collaboration with their
25 school districts and the State Board of Education, shall
26 administer the biennial State academic assessments of 4th and

1 8th grade reading and mathematics under the National Assessment
2 of Educational Progress carried out under Section 411(b)(2)
3 m11(b)(2) of the National Education Statistics Act of 1994 (20
4 U.S.C. 9010) if the Secretary of Education pays the costs of
5 administering the assessments.
6     (e) Beginning no later than the 2005-2006 school year,
7 subject to available federal funds to this State for the
8 purpose of student assessment, the State Board of Education
9 shall provide additional tests and assessment resources that
10 may be used by school districts for local diagnostic purposes.
11 These tests and resources shall include without limitation
12 additional high school writing, physical development and
13 health, and fine arts assessments. The State Board of Education
14 shall annually distribute a listing of these additional tests
15 and resources, using funds available from appropriations made
16 for student assessment purposes.
17     (f) For the assessment and accountability purposes of this
18 Section, "all pupils" includes those pupils enrolled in a
19 public or State-operated elementary school, secondary school,
20 or cooperative or joint agreement with a governing body or
21 board of control, a charter school operating in compliance with
22 the Charter Schools Law, a school operated by a regional office
23 of education under Section 13A-3 of this Code, or a public
24 school administered by a local public agency or the Department
25 of Human Services.

3     (105 ILCS 5/2-3.152)
4     Sec. 2-3.152 2-3.148. Community schools.
5     (a) This Section applies beginning with the 2009-2010
6 school year.
7     (b) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
8         (1) All children are capable of success.
9         (2) Schools are the centers of vibrant communities.
10         (3) Strong families build strong educational
11     communities.
12         (4) Children succeed when adults work together to
13     foster positive educational outcomes.
14         (5) Schools work best when families take active roles
15     in the education of children.
16         (6) Schools today are limited in their ability to
17     dedicate time and resources to provide a wide range of
18     educational opportunities to students because of the focus
19     on standardized test outcomes.
20         (7) By providing learning opportunities outside of
21     normal school hours, including programs on life skills and
22     health, students are more successful academically, more
23     engaged in their communities, safer, and better prepared to
24     make a successful transition from school to adulthood.
25         (8) A community school is a traditional school that

 

 

SB3733 - 814 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     actively partners with its community to leverage existing
2     resources and identify new resources to support the
3     transformation of the school to provide enrichment and
4     additional life skill opportunities for students, parents,
5     and community members at-large. Each community school is
6     unique because its programming is designed by and for the
7     school staff, in partnership with parents, community
8     stakeholders, and students.
9         (9) Community schools currently exist in this State in
10     urban, rural, and suburban communities.
11         (10) Research shows that community schools have a
12     powerful positive impact on students, as demonstrated by
13     increased academic success, a positive change in attitudes
14     toward school and learning, and decreased behavioral
15     problems.
16         (11) After-school and evening programs offered by
17     community schools provide academic enrichment consistent
18     with the Illinois Learning Standards and general school
19     curriculum; an opportunity for physical fitness activities
20     for students, fine arts programs, structured learning
21     "play" time, and other recreational opportunities; a safe
22     haven for students; and work supports for working families.
23         (12) Community schools are cost-effective because they
24     leverage existing resources provided by local, State,
25     federal, and private sources and bring programs to the
26     schools, where the students are already congregated.

 

 

SB3733 - 815 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Community schools have been shown to leverage between $5 to
2     $8 in existing programming for every $1 spent on a
3     community school.
4     (c) Subject to an appropriation or the availability of
5 funding for such purposes, the State Board of Education shall
6 make grants available to fund community schools and to enhance
7 programs at community schools. A request-for-proposal process
8 must be used in awarding grants under this subsection (c).
9 Proposals may be submitted on behalf of a school, a school
10 district, or a consortium of 2 or more schools or school
11 districts. Proposals must be evaluated and scored on the basis
12 of criteria consistent with this Section and other factors
13 developed and adopted by the State Board of Education.
14 Technical assistance in grant writing must be made available to
15 schools, school districts, or consortia of school districts
16 through the State Board of Education directly or through a
17 resource and referral directory established and maintained by
18 the State Board of Education.
19     (d) In order to qualify for a community school grant under
20 this Section, a school must, at a minimum, have the following
21 components:
22         (1) Before and after-school programming each school
23     day to meet the identified needs of students.
24         (2) Weekend programming.
25         (3) At least 4 weeks of summer programming.
26         (4) A local advisory group comprised of school

 

 

SB3733 - 816 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     leadership, parents, and community stakeholders that
2     establishes school-specific programming goals, assesses
3     program needs, and oversees the process of implementing
4     expanded programming.
5         (5) A program director or resource coordinator who is
6     responsible for establishing a local advisory group,
7     assessing the needs of students and community members,
8     identifying programs to meet those needs, developing the
9     before and after-school, weekend, and summer programming
10     and overseeing the implementation of programming to ensure
11     high quality, efficiency, and robust participation.
12         (6) Programming that includes academic excellence
13     aligned with the Illinois Learning Standards, life skills,
14     healthy minds and bodies, parental support, and community
15     engagement and that promotes staying in school and

17         (7) Maintenance of attendance records in all
18     programming components.
19         (8) Maintenance of measurable data showing annual
20     participation and the impact of programming on the
21     participating children and adults.
22         (9) Documentation of true collaboration between the
23     school and community stakeholders, including local
24     governmental units, civic organizations, families,
25     businesses, and social service providers.
26         (10) A non-discrimination policy ensuring that the

 

 

SB3733 - 817 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     community school does not condition participation upon
2     race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, or disability.

1 of pupils with special needs or disabilities, which contracts
2 must be advertised in the same manner as competitive bids and
3 awarded by first considering the bidder or bidders most able to
4 provide safety and comfort for the pupils with special needs or
5 disabilities, stability of service, and any other factors set
6 forth in the request for proposal regarding quality of service,
7 and then price.
8     All competitive bids for contracts involving an
9 expenditure in excess of $25,000 or a lower amount as required
10 by board policy must be sealed by the bidder and must be opened
11 by a member or employee of the school board at a public bid
12 opening at which the contents of the bids must be announced.
13 Each bidder must receive at least 3 days' notice of the time
14 and place of the bid opening. For purposes of this Section due
15 advertisement includes, but is not limited to, at least one
16 public notice at least 10 days before the bid date in a
17 newspaper published in the district, or if no newspaper is
18 published in the district, in a newspaper of general
19 circulation in the area of the district. State master contracts
20 and certified education purchasing contracts, as defined in
21 Article 28A of this Code, are not subject to the requirements

2 accepted, or opened electronically. An electronic bidding
3 process must provide for, but is not limited to, the following
4 safeguards:
5         (1) On the date and time certain of a bid opening, the
6     primary person conducting the competitive, sealed,
7     electronic bid process shall log onto a specified database
8     using a unique username and password previously assigned to
9     the bidder to allow access to the bidder's specific bid
10     project number.
11         (2) The specified electronic database must be on a
12     network that (i) is in a secure environment behind a
13     firewall; (ii) has specific encryption tools; (iii)
14     maintains specific intrusion detection systems; (iv) has
15     redundant systems architecture with data storage back-up,
16     whether by compact disc or tape; and (v) maintains a
17     disaster recovery plan.
18 It is the legislative intent of Public Act 96-841 this
19 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly to maintain the
20 integrity of the sealed bidding process provided for in this
21 Section, to further limit any possibility of bid-rigging, to
22 reduce administrative costs to school districts, and to effect
23 efficiencies in communications with bidders.
24     (b) To require, as a condition of any contract for goods
25 and services, that persons bidding for and awarded a contract

4 "retailer maintaining a place of business within this State" as
5 defined in Section 2 of the Use Tax Act. For purposes of this
6 Section, the term "affiliate" means any entity that (1)
7 directly, indirectly, or constructively controls another
8 entity, (2) is directly, indirectly, or constructively
9 controlled by another entity, or (3) is subject to the control
10 of a common entity. For purposes of this subsection (b), an
11 entity controls another entity if it owns, directly or
12 individually, more than 10% of the voting securities of that
13 entity. As used in this subsection (b), the term "voting
14 security" means a security that (1) confers upon the holder the
15 right to vote for the election of members of the board of
16 directors or similar governing body of the business or (2) is
17 convertible into, or entitles the holder to receive upon its
18 exercise, a security that confers such a right to vote. A
19 general partnership interest is a voting security.
20     To require that bids and contracts include a certification
21 by the bidder or contractor that the bidder or contractor is
22 not barred from bidding for or entering into a contract under
23 this Section and that the bidder or contractor acknowledges
24 that the school board may declare the contract void if the
25 certification completed pursuant to this subsection (b) is
26 false.

14 non-monetary remuneration was distributed.
15     (c) If the State education purchasing entity creates a
16 master contract as defined in Article 28A of this Code, then
17 the State education purchasing entity shall notify school
18 districts of the existence of the master contract.
19     (d) In purchasing supplies, materials, equipment, or
20 services that are not subject to subsection (c) of this
21 Section, before a school district solicits bids or awards a
22 contract, the district may review and consider as a bid under
23 subsection (a) of this Section certified education purchasing
24 contracts that are already available through the State
25 education purchasing entity.

17 one or more employees from the district attend an
18 IEMA-approved, Internet-based training course on school
19 testing in order to receive an exemption to conduct testing in
20 that school district. These school district employees must

2 of the board of education of the issuing district. The
3 resolution may contain such covenants as may be deemed
4 necessary or advisable by the district to assure the payment of
5 the bonds or notes. The resolution shall be effective
6 immediately upon its adoption.
7     Prior to the issuance of such bonds or notes, each school
8 district that is a party to the joint agreement shall agree,
9 whether by amendment to the joint agreement or by resolution of
10 the board of education, to be jointly and severally liable for
11 the payment of the bonds and notes. The bonds or notes shall be
12 payable solely and only from the payments made pursuant to such
13 agreement.
14     Neither the bonds or notes nor the obligation to pay the
15 bonds or notes under any joint agreement shall constitute an
16 indebtedness of any district, including the issuing district,
17 within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
18 limitation.

7 shall have, in addition to its other powers under this Section,
8 the authority to issue bonds or notes for the purposes and in
9 the manner provided in this subsection. The governing board of
10 the joint agreement may from time to time borrow money and, in
11 evidence of its obligation to repay the borrowing, issue its
12 negotiable bonds or notes for the purpose of acquiring,
13 constructing, altering, repairing, enlarging and equipping any
14 building or portion thereof, together with any land or interest
15 therein, necessary to provide special educational facilities
16 and services as defined in Section 14-1.08 and including also
17 facilities for activities of administration and educational
18 support personnel employees. Title in and to any such
19 facilities shall be held in accordance with the joint
20 agreement.
21     Any such bonds or notes shall be authorized by a resolution
22 of the governing board. The resolution may contain such
23 covenants as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the
24 governing board to assure the payment of the bonds or notes and
25 interest accruing thereon. The resolution shall be effective
26 immediately upon its adoption.

2 shall be automatically liable, by virtue of its membership in
3 the joint agreement, for its proportionate share of the
4 principal amount of the bonds and notes plus interest accruing
5 thereon, as provided in the resolution. Subject to the joint
6 and several liability hereinafter provided for, the resolution
7 may provide for different payment schedules for different
8 districts except that the aggregate amount of scheduled
9 payments for each district shall be equal to its proportionate
10 share of the debt service in the bonds or notes based upon the
11 fraction that its equalized assessed valuation bears to the
12 total equalized assessed valuation of all the district members
13 of the joint agreement as adjusted in the manner hereinafter
14 provided. In computing that fraction the most recent available
15 equalized assessed valuation at the time of the issuance of the
16 bonds and notes shall be used, and the equalized assessed
17 valuation of any district maintaining grades K to 12 shall be
18 doubled in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction
19 used for all of the districts that are members of the joint
20 agreement. In case of default in payment by any member, each
21 school district that is a party to the joint agreement shall
22 automatically be jointly and severally liable for the amount of
23 any deficiency. The bonds or notes and interest thereon shall
24 be payable solely and only from the funds made available
25 pursuant to the procedures set forth in this subsection. No

3     (105 ILCS 5/18-8.05)
4     Sec. 18-8.05. Basis for apportionment of general State
5 financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common
6 schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years.
 
7 (A) General Provisions.
8     (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999
9 and subsequent school years. The system of general State
10 financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to
11 assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
12 required local resources, the financial support provided each
13 pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
14 prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach
15 imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and
16 provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
17 general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
18 Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount
19 of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts,
20 in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local
21 Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school
22 district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in
23 this Section.
24     (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school

 

 

SB3733 - 841 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils
2 from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental
3 general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to
4 subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for
5 school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for
6 distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
7 in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
8 appropriated under this Section.
9     (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section,
10 school districts are required to file claims with the State
11 Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
12         (a) Any school district which fails for any given
13     school year to maintain school as required by law, or to
14     maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for
15     such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In
16     case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in
17     a school district otherwise operating recognized schools,
18     the claim of the district shall be reduced in the
19     proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the
20     attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
21     Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school"
22     means any public school which meets the standards as
23     established for recognition by the State Board of
24     Education. A school district or attendance center not
25     having recognition status at the end of a school term is
26     entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal

 

 

SB3733 - 842 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     claim which was filed while it was recognized.
2         (b) School district claims filed under this Section are
3     subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise
4     provided in this Section.
5         (c) If a school district operates a full year school
6     under Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school
7     district shall be determined by the State Board of
8     Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be
9     applicable.
10         (d) (Blank).
11     (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the
12 board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for
13 in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
14 for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law.
15     School districts are not required to exert a minimum
16 Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under
17 this Section.
18     (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when
19 capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
20         (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil
21     attendance in school, averaged as provided for in
22     subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial
23     support levels.
24         (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of
25     local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average
26     Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to

 

 

SB3733 - 843 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     subsection (D).
2         (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes":
3     Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in
4     relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property
5     tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and
6     amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in
7     connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as
8     amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
9         (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil
10     financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
11         (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property
12     taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest,
13     Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational
14     Education Building purposes.
 
15 (B) Foundation Level.
16     (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the
17 State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
18 support that should be available to provide for the basic
19 education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
20 forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
21 a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
22 the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
23 district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
24 available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
25 district.

 

 

SB3733 - 844 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of
2 support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the
3 Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school
4 year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. For the
5 2001-2002 school year and 2002-2003 school year, the Foundation
6 Level of support is $4,560. For the 2003-2004 school year, the
7 Foundation Level of support is $4,810. For the 2004-2005 school
8 year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,964. For the
9 2005-2006 school year, the Foundation Level of support is
10 $5,164. For the 2006-2007 school year, the Foundation Level of
11 support is $5,334. For the 2007-2008 school year, the
12 Foundation Level of support is $5,734. For the 2008-2009 school
13 year, the Foundation Level of support is $5,959.
14     (3) For the 2009-2010 school year and each school year
15 thereafter, the Foundation Level of support is $6,119 or such
16 greater amount as may be established by law by the General
17 Assembly.
 
18 (C) Average Daily Attendance.
19     (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
20 to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be
21 utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula
22 calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual
23 number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as
24 further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for
25 each school district. In compiling the figures for the number

 

 

SB3733 - 845 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board
2 of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding,
3 conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
4 (F).
5     (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
6 subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
7 school year immediately preceding the school year for which
8 general State aid is being calculated or the average of the
9 attendance data for the 3 preceding school years, whichever is
10 greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
11 subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
12 school year immediately preceding the school year for which
13 general State aid is being calculated.
 
14 (D) Available Local Resources.
15     (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
16 to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local
17 Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in
18 this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources
19 per pupil shall include a calculated dollar amount representing
20 local school district revenues from local property taxes and
21 from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed
22 on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. Calculation
23 of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty
24 funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
25     (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local

 

 

SB3733 - 846 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the
2 equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each
3 school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The
4 equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and
5 determined as provided in subsection (G).
6     (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
7 through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
8 calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
9 valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by
10 the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school
11 districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local
12 property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the
13 product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the
14 district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's
15 Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
16 maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues
17 per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation
18 of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the
19 district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
20     For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to
21 Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil
22 shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed
23 valuation for property within the partial elementary unit
24 district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of
25 this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's
26 Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the

 

 

SB3733 - 847 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial
2 elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined
3 in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by
4 the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
5     (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid
6 to each school district during the calendar year one year
7 before the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided
8 by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall
9 be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as
10 derived by the application of the immediately preceding
11 paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil figures for each
12 school district shall constitute Available Local Resources as
13 that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of
14 general State aid.
 
15 (E) Computation of General State Aid.
16     (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid
17 allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State
18 Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
19     (2) For any school district for which Available Local
20 Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the
21 Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be
22 calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus
23 Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
24 Attendance of the school district.
25     (3) For any school district for which Available Local

 

 

SB3733 - 848 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of
2 0.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of
3 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
4 pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level
5 derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm,
6 the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in
7 direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for
8 a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
9 product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
10 Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local
11 Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
12 Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts
13 subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general
14 State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily
15 Attendance of the school district.
16     (4) For any school district for which Available Local
17 Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times
18 the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school
19 district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied
20 by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
21     (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
22 district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements
23 set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased
24 by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have
25 been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
26 utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed

 

 

SB3733 - 849 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less
2 the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year.
3 This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
4 affect any future general State aid allocations.
 
5 (F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
6     (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year,
7 submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by
8 the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school
9 year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance
10 information so transmitted shall identify the average daily
11 attendance figures for each month of the school year. Beginning
12 with the general State aid claim form for the 2002-2003 school
13 year, districts shall calculate Average Daily Attendance as
14 provided in subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph
15 (1).
16         (a) In districts that do not hold year-round classes,
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.
20         (b) In districts in which all buildings hold year-round
21     classes, days of attendance in July and August shall be
22     added to the month of September and any days of attendance
23     in June shall be added to the month of May.
24         (c) In districts in which some buildings, but not all,
25     hold year-round classes, for the non-year-round buildings,

 

 

SB3733 - 850 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     days of attendance in August shall be added to the month of
2     September and any days of attendance in June shall be added
3     to the month of May. The average daily attendance for the
4     year-round buildings shall be computed as provided in
5     subdivision (b) of this paragraph (1). To calculate the
6     Average Daily Attendance for the district, the average
7     daily attendance for the year-round buildings shall be
8     multiplied by the days in session for the non-year-round
9     buildings for each month and added to the monthly
10     attendance of the non-year-round buildings.
11     Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
12 attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not
13 less than 5 clock hours of school work per day under direct
14 supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or
15 volunteer personnel when engaging in non-teaching duties and
16 supervising in those instances specified in subsection (a) of
17 Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18, with pupils
18 of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1 through
19 12.
20     Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited
21 only to the districts that pay the tuition to a recognized
22 school.
23     (2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours
24 of school shall be subject to the following provisions in the
25 compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
26         (a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for

 

 

SB3733 - 851 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     only a part of the school day may be counted on the basis
2     of 1/6 day for every class hour of instruction of 40
3     minutes or more attended pursuant to such enrollment,
4     unless a pupil is enrolled in a block-schedule format of 80
5     minutes or more of instruction, in which case the pupil may
6     be counted on the basis of the proportion of minutes of
7     school work completed each day to the minimum number of
8     minutes that school work is required to be held that day.
9         (b) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours
10     on the opening and closing of the school term, and upon the
11     first day of pupil attendance, if preceded by a day or days

16     of Education to the extent that the district has been
17     forced to use daily multiple sessions.
18         (d) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted
19     as a day of attendance (1) when the remainder of the school
20     day or at least 2 hours in the evening of that day is
21     utilized for an in-service training program for teachers,
22     up to a maximum of 5 days per school year, provided a
23     district conducts an in-service training program for
24     teachers in accordance with Section 10-22.39 of this Code;
25     or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may be used, in
26     which event each such day may be counted as a day required

1     for a legal school calendar pursuant to Section 10-19 of
2     this Code; (1.5) when, of the 5 days allowed under item
3     (1), a maximum of 4 days are used for parent-teacher
4     conferences, or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days are
5     used, in which case each such day may be counted as a
6     calendar day required under Section 10-19 of this Code,
7     provided that the full-day, parent-teacher conference

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

 

 

SB3733 - 854 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 855 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 856 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 857 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 858 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the
2     Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
3     equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
4     initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
5     equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
6     used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
7     have been paid.
8         (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
9     a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
10     real property value as equalized or assessed by the
11     Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
12     by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
13     Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
14     district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
15     2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
16     through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9
17     through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
18     the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
19     of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
20     percentage rates for district type as specified in this
21     subparagraph (b).
22     (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year
23 thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
24 this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
25 Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the
26 district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation

 

 

SB3733 - 859 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

 

 

SB3733 - 860 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Limitation Law, the State Board of Education shall calculate
2 the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that
3 district. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Extension
4 Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
5 calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to
6 the product of the district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation
7 and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. Except as
8 otherwise provided in this paragraph for a school district that
9 has approved or does approve an increase in its limiting rate,
10 for the 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter,
11 the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a
12 school district as calculated by the State Board of Education
13 shall be equal to the product of the Equalized Assessed
14 Valuation last used in the calculation of general State aid and
15 the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
16 Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
17 calculated under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the
18 district's equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant
19 to subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of
20 calculating the district's general State aid for the Budget
21 Year pursuant to subsection (E), that Extension Limitation
22 Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the
23 district's Available Local Resources under subsection (D). For
24 the 2009-2010 school year and each school year thereafter, if a
25 school district has approved or does approve an increase in its
26 limiting rate, pursuant to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax

 

 

SB3733 - 861 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Code, affecting the Base Tax Year, the Extension Limitation
2 Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district, as
3 calculated by the State Board of Education, shall be equal to
4 the product of the Equalized Assessed Valuation last used in
5 the calculation of general State aid times an amount equal to
6 one plus the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price
7 Index for all Urban Consumers for all items published by the
8 United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
9 year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the Equalized Assessed
10 Valuation of new property, annexed property, and recovered tax
11 increment value and minus the Equalized Assessed Valuation of
12 disconnected property. New property and recovered tax
13 increment value shall have the meanings set forth in the
14 Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
15     Partial elementary unit districts created in accordance
16 with Article 11E of this Code shall not be eligible for the
17 adjustment in this subsection (G)(3) until the fifth year
18 following the effective date of the reorganization.
19     (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for
20 the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district
21 experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed
22 valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid
23 apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
24 Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized
25 Assessed Valuation that would have been used to calculate the
26 district's 1998-1999 general State aid. This amount shall equal

 

 

SB3733 - 862 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the product of the equalized assessed valuation used to
2 calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and
3 the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
4 Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district
5 as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the
6 district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in
7 calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid
8 allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's
9 general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of subsection (E),
10 that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall
11 be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local
12 Resources.
13     (5) For school districts having a majority of their
14 equalized assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage,
15 Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State
16 aid allocated to the school district for the 1999-2000 school
17 year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of
18 this Section is less than the amount of general State aid
19 allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school year under
20 these subsections, then the general State aid of the district
21 for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the
22 difference between these amounts. The total payments made under
23 this paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall
24 be prorated if they exceed $14,000,000.
 
25 (H) Supplemental General State Aid.

 

 

SB3733 - 863 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district
2 is allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school
3 districts shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a
4 district's payments of general State aid, for supplemental
5 general State aid based upon the concentration level of
6 children from low-income households within the school
7 district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school
8 districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for
9 distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
10 in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
11 appropriated under this Section. If the appropriation in any
12 fiscal year for general State aid and supplemental general
13 State aid is insufficient to pay the amounts required under the
14 general State aid and supplemental general State aid
15 calculations, then the State Board of Education shall ensure
16 that each school district receives the full amount due for
17 general State aid and the remainder of the appropriation shall
18 be used for supplemental general State aid, which the State
19 Board of Education shall calculate and pay to eligible
20 districts on a prorated basis.
21     (1.5) This paragraph (1.5) applies only to those school
22 years preceding the 2003-2004 school year. For purposes of this
23 subsection (H), the term "Low-Income Concentration Level"
24 shall be the low-income eligible pupil count from the most
25 recently available federal census divided by the Average Daily
26 Attendance of the school district. If, however, (i) the

 

 

SB3733 - 864 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal censuses in
2 the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district
3 with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the
4 percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil count
5 of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
6 are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
7 school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
8 school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
9 high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most
10 recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count
11 and there is a percentage increase in the total low-income
12 eligible pupil count of a majority of the elementary school
13 districts in excess of 50% from the 2 most recent federal
14 censuses, then the high school district's low-income eligible
15 pupil count from the earlier federal census shall be the number
16 used as the low-income eligible pupil count for the high school
17 district, for purposes of this subsection (H). The changes made
18 to this paragraph (1) by Public Act 92-28 shall apply to
19 supplemental general State aid grants for school years
20 preceding the 2003-2004 school year that are paid in fiscal
21 year 1999 or thereafter and to any State aid payments made in
22 fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 pursuant to
23 subsection 1(n) of Section 18-8 of this Code (which was
24 repealed on July 1, 1998), and any high school district that is
25 affected by Public Act 92-28 is entitled to a recomputation of
26 its supplemental general State aid grant or State aid paid in

 

 

SB3733 - 865 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 any of those fiscal years. This recomputation shall not be
2 affected by any other funding.
3     (1.10) This paragraph (1.10) applies to the 2003-2004
4 school year and each school year thereafter. For purposes of
5 this subsection (H), the term "Low-Income Concentration Level"
6 shall, for each fiscal year, be the low-income eligible pupil
7 count as of July 1 of the immediately preceding fiscal year (as
8 determined by the Department of Human Services based on the
9 number of pupils who are eligible for at least one of the
10 following low income programs: Medicaid, the Children's Health
11 Insurance Program, TANF, or Food Stamps, excluding pupils who
12 are eligible for services provided by the Department of
13 Children and Family Services, averaged over the 2 immediately
14 preceding fiscal years for fiscal year 2004 and over the 3
15 immediately preceding fiscal years for each fiscal year
16 thereafter) divided by the Average Daily Attendance of the
17 school district.
18     (2) Supplemental general State aid pursuant to this
19 subsection (H) shall be provided as follows for the 1998-1999,
20 1999-2000, and 2000-2001 school years only:
21         (a) For any school district with a Low Income
22     Concentration Level of at least 20% and less than 35%, the
23     grant for any school year shall be $800 multiplied by the
24     low income eligible pupil count.
25         (b) For any school district with a Low Income
26     Concentration Level of at least 35% and less than 50%, the

 

 

SB3733 - 866 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     grant for the 1998-1999 school year shall be $1,100
2     multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count.
3         (c) For any school district with a Low Income
4     Concentration Level of at least 50% and less than 60%, the
5     grant for the 1998-99 school year shall be $1,500
6     multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count.
7         (d) For any school district with a Low Income
8     Concentration Level of 60% or more, the grant for the
9     1998-99 school year shall be $1,900 multiplied by the low
10     income eligible pupil count.
11         (e) For the 1999-2000 school year, the per pupil amount
12     specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d) immediately
13     above shall be increased to $1,243, $1,600, and $2,000,
14     respectively.
15         (f) For the 2000-2001 school year, the per pupil
16     amounts specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d)
17     immediately above shall be $1,273, $1,640, and $2,050,

24     school year shall be $355 multiplied by the low income
25     eligible pupil count.
26         (b) For any school district with a Low Income

 

 

SB3733 - 867 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Concentration Level of at least 10% and less than 20%, the
2     grant for each school year shall be $675 multiplied by the
3     low income eligible pupil count.
4         (c) For any school district with a Low Income
5     Concentration Level of at least 20% and less than 35%, the
6     grant for each school year shall be $1,330 multiplied by

8         (d) For any school district with a Low Income
9     Concentration Level of at least 35% and less than 50%, the
10     grant for each school year shall be $1,362 multiplied by
11     the low income eligible pupil count.
12         (e) For any school district with a Low Income
13     Concentration Level of at least 50% and less than 60%, the
14     grant for each school year shall be $1,680 multiplied by
15     the low income eligible pupil count.
16         (f) For any school district with a Low Income
17     Concentration Level of 60% or more, the grant for each
18     school year shall be $2,080 multiplied by the low income
19     eligible pupil count.
20     (2.10) Except as otherwise provided, supplemental general
21 State aid pursuant to this subsection (H) shall be provided as
22 follows for the 2003-2004 school year and each school year
23 thereafter:

1     eligible pupil count.
2         (b) For any school district with a Low Income
3     Concentration Level greater than 15%, the grant for each
4     school year shall be $294.25 added to the product of $2,700

6     multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count.
7     For the 2003-2004 school year and each school year
8 thereafter through the 2008-2009 school year only, the grant
9 shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year.
10 For the 2009-2010 school year only, the grant shall be no less

15 contrary, if for any school year supplemental general State aid
16 grants are prorated as provided in paragraph (1) of this
17 subsection (H), then the grants under this paragraph shall be
18 prorated.
19     For the 2003-2004 school year only, the grant shall be no

21 year added to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the difference
22 between the grant amount calculated under subsection (a) or (b)
23 of this paragraph (2.10), whichever is applicable, and the

5 school year only, the grant shall be no greater than the grant
6 received during the 2002-2003 school year added to the product
7 of 0.75 multiplied by the difference between the grant amount
8 calculated under subsection (a) or (b) of this paragraph
9 (2.10), whichever is applicable, and the grant received during
10 the 2002-2003 school year.
11     (3) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of
12 more than 1,000 and less than 50,000 that qualify for

14 shall submit a plan to the State Board of Education prior to
15 October 30 of each year for the use of the funds resulting from
16 this grant of supplemental general State aid for the

19 plan shall be submitted in accordance with rules and
20 regulations promulgated by the State Board of Education.
21     (4) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of

3     eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches or
4     breakfasts under the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966
5     and under the National School Lunch Act during the
6     immediately preceding school year.
7         (b) The distribution of these portions of supplemental
8     and general State aid among attendance centers according to

15         (c) Each attendance center shall be provided by the
16     school district a distribution of noncategorical funds and
17     other categorical funds to which an attendance center is
18     entitled under law in order that the general State aid and
19     supplemental general State aid provided by application of
20     this subsection supplements rather than supplants the
21     noncategorical funds and other categorical funds provided
22     by the school district to the attendance centers.
23         (d) Any funds made available under this subsection that
24     by reason of the provisions of this subsection are not

SB3733 - 871 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     for any lawful school purpose.
2         (e) Funds received by an attendance center pursuant to

7     services: early childhood education, reduced class size or
8     improved adult to student classroom ratio, enrichment
9     programs, remedial assistance, attendance improvement, and
10     other educationally beneficial expenditures which
11     supplement the regular and basic programs as determined by
12     the State Board of Education. Funds provided shall not be
13     expended for any political or lobbying purposes as defined
14     by board rule.
15         (f) Each district subject to the provisions of this
16     subdivision (H)(4) shall submit an acceptable plan to meet
17     the educational needs of disadvantaged children, in
18     compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, to the

20     This plan shall be consistent with the decisions of local
21     school councils concerning the school expenditure plans
22     developed in accordance with part 4 of Section 34-2.3. The
23     State Board shall approve or reject the plan within 60 days
24     after its submission. If the plan is rejected, the district
25     shall give written notice of intent to modify the plan
26     within 15 days of the notification of rejection and then

 

 

SB3733 - 872 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     submit a modified plan within 30 days after the date of the
2     written notice of intent to modify. Districts may amend

5         Upon notification by the State Board of Education that
6     the district has not submitted a plan prior to July 15 or a
7     modified plan within the time period specified herein, the
8     State aid funds affected by that plan or modified plan
9     shall be withheld by the State Board of Education until a
10     plan or modified plan is submitted.
11         If the district fails to distribute State aid to
12     attendance centers in accordance with an approved plan, the
13     plan for the following year shall allocate funds, in
14     addition to the funds otherwise required by this
15     subsection, to those attendance centers which were
16     underfunded during the previous year in amounts equal to
17     such underfunding.
18         For purposes of determining compliance with this
19     subsection in relation to the requirements of attendance
20     center funding, each district subject to the provisions of
21     this subsection shall submit as a separate document by
22     December 1 of each year a report of expenditure data for
23     the prior year in addition to any modification of its
24     current plan. If it is determined that there has been a
25     failure to comply with the expenditure provisions of this
26     subsection regarding contravention or supplanting, the

 

 

SB3733 - 873 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

3     local school council. The district shall within 45 days of
4     receipt of that notification inform the State
5     Superintendent of Education of the remedial or corrective
6     action to be taken, whether by amendment of the current
7     plan, if feasible, or by adjustment in the plan for the
8     following year. Failure to provide the expenditure report
9     or the notification of remedial or corrective action in a
10     timely manner shall result in a withholding of the affected
11     funds.
12         The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and
13     regulations to implement the provisions of this
14     subsection. No funds shall be released under this
15     subdivision (H)(4) to any district that has not submitted a
16     plan that has been approved by the State Board of
17     Education.

19 (J) Supplementary Grants in Aid.
20     (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section,
21 the amount of the aggregate general State aid in combination
22 with supplemental general State aid under this Section for
23 which each school district is eligible shall be no less than
24 the amount of the aggregate general State aid entitlement that

 

 

SB3733 - 874 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

2 amounts received under subsections 5(p) and 5(p-5) of that
3 Section) for the 1997-98 school year, pursuant to the

1 (K) Grants to Laboratory and Alternative Schools.
2     In calculating the amount to be paid to the governing board
3 of a public university that operates a laboratory school under
4 this Section or to any alternative school that is operated by a
5 regional superintendent of schools, the State Board of
6 Education shall require by rule such reporting requirements as
7 it deems necessary.
8     As used in this Section, "laboratory school" means a public
9 school which is created and operated by a public university and
10 approved by the State Board of Education. The governing board
11 of a public university which receives funds from the State
12 Board under this subsection (K) may not increase the number of
13 students enrolled in its laboratory school from a single
14 district, if that district is already sending 50 or more
15 students, except under a mutual agreement between the school
16 board of a student's district of residence and the university
17 which operates the laboratory school. A laboratory school may
18 not have more than 1,000 students, excluding students with
19 disabilities in a special education program.
20     As used in this Section, "alternative school" means a
21 public school which is created and operated by a Regional
22 Superintendent of Schools and approved by the State Board of
23 Education. Such alternative schools may offer courses of
24 instruction for which credit is given in regular school
25 programs, courses to prepare students for the high school

 

 

SB3733 - 876 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 equivalency testing program or vocational and occupational
2 training. A regional superintendent of schools may contract
3 with a school district or a public community college district
4 to operate an alternative school. An alternative school serving
5 more than one educational service region may be established by
6 the regional superintendents of schools of the affected
7 educational service regions. An alternative school serving
8 more than one educational service region may be operated under
9 such terms as the regional superintendents of schools of those
10 educational service regions may agree.
11     Each laboratory and alternative school shall file, on forms
12 provided by the State Superintendent of Education, an annual
13 State aid claim which states the Average Daily Attendance of
14 the school's students by month. The best 3 months' Average
15 Daily Attendance shall be computed for each school. The general
16 State aid entitlement shall be computed by multiplying the
17 applicable Average Daily Attendance by the Foundation Level as
18 determined under this Section.
 
19 (L) Payments, Additional Grants in Aid and Other Requirements.
20     (1) For a school district operating under the financial
21 supervision of an Authority created under Article 34A, the
22 general State aid otherwise payable to that district under this
23 Section, but not the supplemental general State aid, shall be
24 reduced by an amount equal to the budget for the operations of
25 the Authority as certified by the Authority to the State Board

 

 

SB3733 - 877 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of Education, and an amount equal to such reduction shall be
2 paid to the Authority created for such district for its
3 operating expenses in the manner provided in Section 18-11. The
4 remainder of general State school aid for any such district
5 shall be paid in accordance with Article 34A when that Article
6 provides for a disposition other than that provided by this
7 Article.
8     (2) (Blank).
9     (3) Summer school. Summer school payments shall be made as
10 provided in Section 18-4.3.
 
11 (M) Education Funding Advisory Board.
12     The Education Funding Advisory Board, hereinafter in this
13 subsection (M) referred to as the "Board", is hereby created.
14 The Board shall consist of 5 members who are appointed by the
15 Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The
16 members appointed shall include representatives of education,
17 business, and the general public. One of the members so
18 appointed shall be designated by the Governor at the time the
19 appointment is made as the chairperson of the Board. The
20 initial members of the Board may be appointed any time after
21 the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. The regular
22 term of each member of the Board shall be for 4 years from the
23 third Monday of January of the year in which the term of the
24 member's appointment is to commence, except that of the 5
25 initial members appointed to serve on the Board, the member who

 

 

SB3733 - 878 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 is appointed as the chairperson shall serve for a term that
2 commences on the date of his or her appointment and expires on
3 the third Monday of January, 2002, and the remaining 4 members,
4 by lots drawn at the first meeting of the Board that is held
5 after all 5 members are appointed, shall determine 2 of their
6 number to serve for terms that commence on the date of their
7 respective appointments and expire on the third Monday of
8 January, 2001, and 2 of their number to serve for terms that
9 commence on the date of their respective appointments and
10 expire on the third Monday of January, 2000. All members
11 appointed to serve on the Board shall serve until their
12 respective successors are appointed and confirmed. Vacancies
13 shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments. If
14 a vacancy in membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not
15 in session, the Governor shall make a temporary appointment
16 until the next meeting of the Senate, when he or she shall
17 appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a
18 person to fill that membership for the unexpired term. If the
19 Senate is not in session when the initial appointments are
20 made, those appointments shall be made as in the case of
21 vacancies.
22     The Education Funding Advisory Board shall be deemed
23 established, and the initial members appointed by the Governor
24 to serve as members of the Board shall take office, on the date
25 that the Governor makes his or her appointment of the fifth
26 initial member of the Board, whether those initial members are

 

 

SB3733 - 879 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 then serving pursuant to appointment and confirmation or
2 pursuant to temporary appointments that are made by the
3 Governor as in the case of vacancies.
4     The State Board of Education shall provide such staff
5 assistance to the Education Funding Advisory Board as is
6 reasonably required for the proper performance by the Board of
7 its responsibilities.
8     For school years after the 2000-2001 school year, the
9 Education Funding Advisory Board, in consultation with the
10 State Board of Education, shall make recommendations as
11 provided in this subsection (M) to the General Assembly for the
12 foundation level under subdivision (B)(3) of this Section and
13 for the supplemental general State aid grant level under
14 subsection (H) of this Section for districts with high
15 concentrations of children from poverty. The recommended
16 foundation level shall be determined based on a methodology
17 which incorporates the basic education expenditures of
18 low-spending schools exhibiting high academic performance. The
19 Education Funding Advisory Board shall make such
20 recommendations to the General Assembly on January 1 of odd
21 numbered years, beginning January 1, 2001.

6 aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the value of the taxable property
7 therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and
8 county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum
9 that is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978
10 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage
11 in effect on January 1, 1979, previous to the incurring of such
12 indebtedness.
13     No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall
14 become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount,

22 indebtedness.
23     No partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article

10 district exceed 15% of the value of the taxable property
11 therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and
12 county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness
13 or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that is produced
14 by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed
15 valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on
16 January 1, 1979.
17     The indebtedness provided for by this subsection (b) shall
18 be in addition to and in excess of any other debt limitation.
19     (c) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in

21 question for the issuance of bonds of a proposed school
22 district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12 received
23 at least 60% of the valid ballots cast on the question at an
24 election held on or prior to November 8, 1994, and in which the
25 bonds approved at such election have not been issued, the

5 all the criteria set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this
6 subsection (d) may incur an additional indebtedness in an

8 additional indebtedness authorized by this subsection (d),
9 when incurred and added to the aggregate amount of indebtedness
10 of the district existing immediately prior to the district
11 incurring the additional indebtedness authorized by this
12 subsection (d), causes the aggregate indebtedness of the
13 district to exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to
14 that district under subsection (a):
15         (1) The additional indebtedness authorized by this
16     subsection (d) is incurred by the school district through
17     the issuance of bonds under and in accordance with Section

9 may be extended or shortened with applicable fees prorated
10 accordingly. Properly completed renewal application forms and
11 filing fees must be received by the Secretary 60 days prior to

13     (b) It shall be the responsibility of each licensee to
14 accomplish renewal of its license; failure of the licensee to
15 receive renewal forms absent a request sent by certified mail
16 for such forms will not waive said responsibility. Failure by a
17 licensee to submit a properly completed renewal application
18 form and fees in a timely fashion, absent a written extension
19 from the Secretary, will result in the assessment of additional
20 fees, as follows:
21         (1) A fee of $567.50 will be assessed to the licensee
22     30 days after the proper renewal date and $1,135 each month

25     Act.

 

 

SB3733 - 1047 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (2) Such fee will be assessed without prior notice to
2     the licensee, but will be assessed only in cases wherein
3     the Secretary has in his or her possession documentation of
4     the licensee's continuing activity for which the unrenewed
5     license was issued.
6     (c) A license which is not renewed by the date required in
7 this Section shall automatically become inactive. No activity
8 regulated by this Act shall be conducted by the licensee when a
9 license becomes inactive. The Commissioner may require the
10 licensee to provide a plan for the disposition of any
11 residential mortgage loans not closed or funded when the
12 license becomes inactive. The Commissioner may allow a licensee
13 with an inactive license to conduct activities regulated by
14 this Act for the sole purpose of assisting borrowers in the
15 closing or funding of loans for which the loan application was
16 taken from a borrower while the license was active. An inactive
17 license may be reactivated by the Commissioner upon payment of
18 the renewal fee, and payment of a reactivation fee equal to the
19 renewal fee.
20     (d) A license which is not renewed within one year of
21 becoming inactive shall expire.
22     (e) A licensee ceasing an activity or activities regulated
23 by this Act and desiring to no longer be licensed shall so
24 inform the Commissioner in writing and, at the same time,
25 convey the license and all other symbols or indicia of
26 licensure. The licensee shall include a plan for the withdrawal

SB3733 - 1057 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Certificate of Need permit to discontinue the postsurgical

4     Certificate of Need permit to operate as a hospital, it
5     shall apply for licensure as a hospital under the Hospital
6     Licensing Act and shall meet all statutory and regulatory
7     requirements of a hospital.

13     receives a hospital license must seek and use its best
14     efforts to maintain certification under Titles XVIII and
15     XIX of the federal Social Security Act.
16     The Department may issue a provisional license to any
17 alternative health care model that does not substantially
18 comply with the provisions of this Act and the rules adopted
19 under this Act if (i) the Department finds that the alternative
20 health care model has undertaken changes and corrections which
21 upon completion will render the alternative health care model
22 in substantial compliance with this Act and rules and (ii) the
23 health and safety of the patients of the alternative health
24 care model will be protected during the period for which the
25 provisional license is issued. The Department shall advise the
26 licensee of the conditions under which the provisional license

 

 

SB3733 - 1058 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 is issued, including the manner in which the alternative health
2 care model fails to comply with the provisions of this Act and
3 rules, and the time within which the changes and corrections
4 necessary for the alternative health care model to
5 substantially comply with this Act and rules shall be
6 completed.
7     (d) Alternative health care models shall seek
8 certification under Titles XVIII and XIX of the federal Social
9 Security Act. In addition, alternative health care models shall
10 provide charitable care consistent with that provided by
11 comparable health care providers in the geographic area.
12     (d-5) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
13 (formerly Illinois Department of Public Aid), in cooperation
14 with the Illinois Department of Public Health, shall develop
15 and implement a reimbursement methodology for all facilities
16 participating in the demonstration program. The Department of
17 Healthcare and Family Services shall keep a record of services
18 provided under the demonstration program to recipients of
19 medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall
20 submit an annual report of that information to the Illinois
21 Department of Public Health.
22     (e) Alternative health care models shall, to the extent
23 possible, link and integrate their services with nearby health

1     Section 415. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
2 changing Sections 8-103, 19-105, and 19-112 and by setting
3 forth, renumbering, and changing multiple versions of Section
4 16-111.8 as follows:
 
5     (220 ILCS 5/8-103)
6     Sec. 8-103. Energy efficiency and demand-response
7 measures.
8     (a) It is the policy of the State that electric utilities
9 are required to use cost-effective energy efficiency and
10 demand-response measures to reduce delivery load. Requiring
11 investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and
12 demand-response measures will reduce direct and indirect costs
13 to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and by
14 avoiding or delaying the need for new generation, transmission,
15 and distribution infrastructure. It serves the public interest
16 to allow electric utilities to recover costs for reasonably and
17 prudently incurred expenses for energy efficiency and
18 demand-response measures. As used in this Section,
19 "cost-effective" means that the measures satisfy the total
20 resource cost test. The low-income measures described in
21 subsection (f)(4) of this Section shall not be required to meet
22 the total resource cost test. For purposes of this Section, the
23 terms "energy-efficiency", "demand-response", "electric
24 utility", and "total resource cost test" shall have the

 

 

SB3733 - 1125 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 meanings set forth in the Illinois Power Agency Act. For
2 purposes of this Section, the amount per kilowatthour means the
3 total amount paid for electric service expressed on a per

1     (c) Electric utilities shall implement cost-effective
2 demand-response measures to reduce peak demand by 0.1% over the
3 prior year for eligible retail customers, as defined in Section
4 16-111.5 of this Act, and for customers that elect hourly
5 service from the utility pursuant to Section 16-107 of this
6 Act, provided those customers have not been declared
7 competitive. This requirement commences June 1, 2008 and
8 continues for 10 years.
9     (d) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsections (b)
10 and (c) of this Section, an electric utility shall reduce the
11 amount of energy efficiency and demand-response measures
12 implemented in any single year by an amount necessary to limit
13 the estimated average increase in the amounts paid by retail
14 customers in connection with electric service due to the cost
15 of those measures to:
16         (1) in 2008, no more than 0.5% of the amount paid per
17     kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May
18     31, 2007;
19         (2) in 2009, the greater of an additional 0.5% of the
20     amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
21     year ending May 31, 2008 or 1% of the amount paid per
22     kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May
23     31, 2007;
24         (3) in 2010, the greater of an additional 0.5% of the
25     amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
26     year ending May 31, 2009 or 1.5% of the amount paid per

 

 

SB3733 - 1127 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May
2     31, 2007;

5     year ending May 31, 2010 or 2% of the amount paid per
6     kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May
7     31, 2007; and
8         (5) thereafter, the amount of energy efficiency and
9     demand-response measures implemented for any single year
10     shall be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the
11     estimated average net increase due to the cost of these
12     measures included in the amounts paid by eligible retail
13     customers in connection with electric service to no more
14     than the greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per
15     kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May
16     31, 2007 or the incremental amount per kilowatthour paid
17     for these measures in 2011.
18     No later than June 30, 2011, the Commission shall review
19 the limitation on the amount of energy efficiency and
20 demand-response measures implemented pursuant to this Section
21 and report to the General Assembly its findings as to whether
22 that limitation unduly constrains the procurement of energy
23 efficiency and demand-response measures.
24     (e) Electric utilities shall be responsible for overseeing
25 the design, development, and filing of energy efficiency and
26 demand-response plans with the Commission. Electric utilities

 

 

SB3733 - 1128 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 shall implement 100% of the demand-response measures in the
2 plans. Electric utilities shall implement 75% of the energy
3 efficiency measures approved by the Commission, and may, as
4 part of that implementation, outsource various aspects of
5 program development and implementation. The remaining 25% of
6 those energy efficiency measures approved by the Commission
7 shall be implemented by the Department of Commerce and Economic
8 Opportunity, and must be designed in conjunction with the
9 utility and the filing process. The Department may outsource
10 development and implementation of energy efficiency measures.
11 A minimum of 10% of the entire portfolio of cost-effective
12 energy efficiency measures shall be procured from units of
13 local government, municipal corporations, school districts,
14 and community college districts. The Department shall
15 coordinate the implementation of these measures.
16     The apportionment of the dollars to cover the costs to
17 implement the Department's share of the portfolio of energy
18 efficiency measures shall be made to the Department once the
19 Department has executed grants or contracts for energy
20 efficiency measures and provided supporting documentation for
21 those grants and the contracts to the utility.
22     The details of the measures implemented by the Department
23 shall be submitted by the Department to the Commission in
24 connection with the utility's filing regarding the energy
25 efficiency and demand-response measures that the utility
26 implements.

 

 

SB3733 - 1129 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     A utility providing approved energy efficiency and
2 demand-response measures in the State shall be permitted to
3 recover costs of those measures through an automatic adjustment
4 clause tariff filed with and approved by the Commission. The
5 tariff shall be established outside the context of a general
6 rate case. Each year the Commission shall initiate a review to
7 reconcile any amounts collected with the actual costs and to
8 determine the required adjustment to the annual tariff factor
9 to match annual expenditures.
10     Each utility shall include, in its recovery of costs, the
11 costs estimated for both the utility's and the Department's
12 implementation of energy efficiency and demand-response
13 measures. Costs collected by the utility for measures
14 implemented by the Department shall be submitted to the
15 Department pursuant to Section 605-323 of the Civil
16 Administrative Code of Illinois and shall be used by the
17 Department solely for the purpose of implementing these
18 measures. A utility shall not be required to advance any moneys
19 to the Department but only to forward such funds as it has
20 collected. The Department shall report to the Commission on an
21 annual basis regarding the costs actually incurred by the
22 Department in the implementation of the measures. Any changes
23 to the costs of energy efficiency measures as a result of plan
24 modifications shall be appropriately reflected in amounts
25 recovered by the utility and turned over to the Department.
26     The portfolio of measures, administered by both the

 

 

SB3733 - 1130 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 utilities and the Department, shall, in combination, be
2 designed to achieve the annual savings targets described in
3 subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, as modified by
4 subsection (d) of this Section.
5     The utility and the Department shall agree upon a
6 reasonable portfolio of measures and determine the measurable
7 corresponding percentage of the savings goals associated with
8 measures implemented by the utility or Department.
9     No utility shall be assessed a penalty under subsection (f)
10 of this Section for failure to make a timely filing if that
11 failure is the result of a lack of agreement with the
12 Department with respect to the allocation of responsibilities
13 or related costs or target assignments. In that case, the
14 Department and the utility shall file their respective plans
15 with the Commission and the Commission shall determine an
16 appropriate division of measures and programs that meets the
17 requirements of this Section.
18     If the Department is unable to meet incremental annual
19 performance goals for the portion of the portfolio implemented
20 by the Department, then the utility and the Department shall
21 jointly submit a modified filing to the Commission explaining
22 the performance shortfall and recommending an appropriate
23 course going forward, including any program modifications that
24 may be appropriate in light of the evaluations conducted under
25 item (7) of subsection (f) of this Section. In this case, the
26 utility obligation to collect the Department's costs and turn

 

 

SB3733 - 1131 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 over those funds to the Department under this subsection (e)
2 shall continue only if the Commission approves the
3 modifications to the plan proposed by the Department.
4     (f) No later than November 15, 2007, each electric utility
5 shall file an energy efficiency and demand-response plan with
6 the Commission to meet the energy efficiency and
7 demand-response standards for 2008 through 2010. Every 3 years
8 thereafter, each electric utility shall file, no later than
9 October 1, an energy efficiency and demand-response plan with
10 the Commission. If a utility does not file such a plan by
11 October 1 of an applicable year, it shall face a penalty of
12 $100,000 per day until the plan is filed. Each utility's plan
13 shall set forth the utility's proposals to meet the utility's
14 portion of the energy efficiency standards identified in
15 subsection (b) and the demand-response standards identified in
16 subsection (c) of this Section as modified by subsections (d)
17 and (e), taking into account the unique circumstances of the
18 utility's service territory. The Commission shall seek public
19 comment on the utility's plan and shall issue an order
20 approving or disapproving each plan within 3 months after its
21 submission. If the Commission disapproves a plan, the
22 Commission shall, within 30 days, describe in detail the
23 reasons for the disapproval and describe a path by which the
24 utility may file a revised draft of the plan to address the
25 Commission's concerns satisfactorily. If the utility does not
26 refile with the Commission within 60 days, the utility shall be

 

 

SB3733 - 1132 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 subject to penalties at a rate of $100,000 per day until the
2 plan is filed. This process shall continue, and penalties shall
3 accrue, until the utility has successfully filed a portfolio of
4 energy efficiency and demand-response measures. Penalties
5 shall be deposited into the Energy Efficiency Trust Fund. In
6 submitting proposed energy efficiency and demand-response
7 plans and funding levels to meet the savings goals adopted by
8 this Act the utility shall:
9         (1) Demonstrate that its proposed energy efficiency
10     and demand-response measures will achieve the requirements
11     that are identified in subsections (b) and (c) of this
12     Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e).
13         (2) Present specific proposals to implement new
14     building and appliance standards that have been placed into
15     effect.
16         (3) Present estimates of the total amount paid for
17     electric service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis
18     associated with the proposed portfolio of measures
19     designed to meet the requirements that are identified in
20     subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, as modified by
21     subsections (d) and (e).
22         (4) Coordinate with the Department to present a
23     portfolio of energy efficiency measures proportionate to
24     the share of total annual utility revenues in Illinois from
25     households at or below 150% of the poverty level. The
26     energy efficiency programs shall be targeted to households

 

 

SB3733 - 1133 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     with incomes at or below 80% of area median income.
2         (5) Demonstrate that its overall portfolio of energy
3     efficiency and demand-response measures, not including
4     programs covered by item (4) of this subsection (f), are
5     cost-effective using the total resource cost test and
6     represent a diverse cross-section of opportunities for
7     customers of all rate classes to participate in the
8     programs.
9         (6) Include a proposed cost-recovery tariff mechanism
10     to fund the proposed energy efficiency and demand-response
11     measures and to ensure the recovery of the prudently and
12     reasonably incurred costs of Commission-approved programs.
13         (7) Provide for an annual independent evaluation of the
14     performance of the cost-effectiveness of the utility's
15     portfolio of measures and the Department's portfolio of
16     measures, as well as a full review of the 3-year results of
17     the broader net program impacts and, to the extent
18     practical, for adjustment of the measures on a
19     going-forward basis as a result of the evaluations. The
20     resources dedicated to evaluation shall not exceed 3% of
21     portfolio resources in any given year.
22     (g) No more than 3% of energy efficiency and
23 demand-response program revenue may be allocated for
24 demonstration of breakthrough equipment and devices.
25     (h) This Section does not apply to an electric utility that
26 on December 31, 2005 provided electric service to fewer than

 

 

SB3733 - 1134 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 100,000 customers in Illinois.
2     (i) If, after 2 years, an electric utility fails to meet
3 the efficiency standard specified in subsection (b) of this
4 Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e), it shall make
5 a contribution to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
6 Program. The combined total liability for failure to meet the
7 goal shall be $1,000,000, which shall be assessed as follows: a
8 large electric utility shall pay $665,000, and a medium
9 electric utility shall pay $335,000. If, after 3 years, an
10 electric utility fails to meet the efficiency standard
11 specified in subsection (b) of this Section, as modified by
12 subsections (d) and (e), it shall make a contribution to the
13 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The combined total
14 liability for failure to meet the goal shall be $1,000,000,
15 which shall be assessed as follows: a large electric utility
16 shall pay $665,000, and a medium electric utility shall pay
17 $335,000. In addition, the responsibility for implementing the
18 energy efficiency measures of the utility making the payment
19 shall be transferred to the Illinois Power Agency if, after 3
20 years, or in any subsequent 3-year period, the utility fails to
21 meet the efficiency standard specified in subsection (b) of
22 this Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e). The
23 Agency shall implement a competitive procurement program to
24 procure resources necessary to meet the standards specified in
25 this Section as modified by subsections (d) and (e), with costs
26 for those resources to be recovered in the same manner as

 

 

SB3733 - 1135 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 products purchased through the procurement plan as provided in
2 Section 16-111.5. The Director shall implement this
3 requirement in connection with the procurement plan as provided
4 in Section 16-111.5.
5     For purposes of this Section, (i) a "large electric
6 utility" is an electric utility that, on December 31, 2005,
7 served more than 2,000,000 electric customers in Illinois; (ii)
8 a "medium electric utility" is an electric utility that, on
9 December 31, 2005, served 2,000,000 or fewer but more than
10 100,000 electric customers in Illinois; and (iii) Illinois
11 electric utilities that are affiliated by virtue of a common
12 parent company are considered a single electric utility.
13     (j) If, after 3 years, or any subsequent 3-year period, the
14 Department fails to implement the Department's share of energy
15 efficiency measures required by the standards in subsection
16 (b), then the Illinois Power Agency may assume responsibility
17 for and control of the Department's share of the required
18 energy efficiency measures. The Agency shall implement a
19 competitive procurement program to procure resources necessary
20 to meet the standards specified in this Section, with the costs
21 of these resources to be recovered in the same manner as
22 provided for the Department in this Section.
23     (k) No electric utility shall be deemed to have failed to
24 meet the energy efficiency standards to the extent any such
25 failure is due to a failure of the Department or the Agency.

3     Sec. 16-111.8. Automatic adjustment clause tariff;
4 uncollectibles.
5     (a) An electric utility shall be permitted, at its
6 election, to recover through an automatic adjustment clause
7 tariff the incremental difference between its actual
8 uncollectible amount as set forth in Account 904 in the
9 utility's most recent annual FERC Form 1 and the uncollectible
10 amount included in the utility's rates for the period reported
11 in such annual FERC Form 1. The Commission may, in a proceeding
12 to review a general rate case filed subsequent to the effective
13 date of the tariff established under this Section,
14 prospectively switch from using the actual uncollectible
15 amount set forth in Account 904 to using net write-offs in such
16 tariff, but only if net write-offs are also used to determine
17 the utility's uncollectible amount in rates. In the event the
18 Commission requires such a change, it shall be made effective
19 at the beginning of the first full calendar year after the new
20 rates approved in such proceeding are first placed in effect
21 and an adjustment shall be made, if necessary, to ensure the
22 change does not result in double-recovery or unrecovered
23 uncollectible amounts for any year. For purposes of this
24 Section, "uncollectible amount" means the expense set forth in
25 Account 904 of the utility's FERC Form 1 or cost of net

 

 

SB3733 - 1137 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 write-offs as appropriate. In the event the utility's rates
2 change during the period of time reported in its most recent
3 annual FERC Form 1, the uncollectible amount included in the
4 utility's rates during such period of time for purposes of this
5 Section will be a weighted average, based on revenues earned
6 during such period by the utility under each set of rates, of
7 the uncollectible amount included in the utility's rates at the
8 beginning of such period and at the end of such period. This
9 difference may either be a charge or a credit to customers
10 depending on whether the uncollectible amount is more or less
11 than the uncollectible amount then included in the utility's
12 rates.
13     (b) The tariff may be established outside the context of a
14 general rate case filing and shall specify the terms of any
15 applicable audit. The Commission shall review and by order
16 approve, or approve as modified, the proposed tariff within 180
17 days after the date on which it is filed. Charges and credits
18 under the tariff shall be allocated to the appropriate customer
19 class or classes. In addition, customers who purchase their
20 electric supply from an alternative retail electric supplier
21 shall not be charged by the utility for uncollectible amounts
22 associated with electric supply provided by the utility to the
23 utility's customers, provided that nothing in this Section is
24 intended to affect or alter the rights and obligations imposed
25 pursuant to Section 16-118 of this Act and any Commission order
26 issued thereunder. Upon approval of the tariff, the utility

 

 

SB3733 - 1138 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 shall, based on the 2008 FERC Form 1, apply the appropriate
2 credit or charge based on the full year 2008 amounts for the
3 remainder of the 2010 calendar year. Starting with the 2009
4 FERC Form 1 reporting period and each subsequent period, the
5 utility shall apply the appropriate credit or charge over a
6 12-month period beginning with the June billing period and
7 ending with the May billing period, with the first such billing
8 period beginning June 2010.
9     (c) The approved tariff shall provide that the utility
10 shall file a petition with the Commission annually, no later
11 than August 31st, seeking initiation of an annual review to
12 reconcile all amounts collected with the actual uncollectible
13 amount in the prior period. As part of its review, the
14 Commission shall verify that the utility collects no more and
15 no less than its actual uncollectible amount in each applicable
16 FERC Form 1 reporting period. The Commission shall review the
17 prudence and reasonableness of the utility's actions to pursue
18 minimization and collection of uncollectibles which shall
19 include, at a minimum, the 6 enumerated criteria set forth in
20 this Section. The Commission shall determine any required
21 adjustments and may include suggestions for prospective
22 changes in current practices. Nothing in this Section or the
23 implementing tariffs shall affect or alter the electric
24 utility's existing obligation to pursue collection of
25 uncollectibles or the electric utility's right to disconnect
26 service. A utility that has in effect a tariff authorized by

 

 

SB3733 - 1139 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 this Section shall pursue minimization of and collection of
2 uncollectibles through the following activities, including,
3 but not limited to:
4         (1) identifying customers with late payments;
5         (2) contacting the customers in an effort to obtain
6     payment;
7         (3) providing delinquent customers with information
8     about possible options, including payment plans and
9     assistance programs;
10         (4) serving disconnection notices;
11         (5) implementing disconnections based on the level of
12     uncollectibles; and
13         (6) pursuing collection activities based on the level
14     of uncollectibles.
15     (d) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require a
16 utility to immediately disconnect service for nonpayment.

6 as of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd
7 General Assembly and includes (ii) the location of any customer
8 to which the gas utility was lawfully providing gas utility
9 services on such effective date.
10     "Single billing" means the combined billing of the services
11 provided by both a natural gas utility and an alternative gas
12 supplier to any customer who has enrolled in a customer choice

19 consumes more than 5,000 therms of natural gas in any calendar
20 year after becoming a customer of the alternative gas supplier.
21 In determining whether a customer has consumed 5,000 or fewer
22 therms of natural gas during the previous year, usage by the

1 monitor or inform customers or alternative gas suppliers as to
2 a customer's status as a small commercial customer as that term

8 defined herein.

18 include, without limitation, standard metering and billing
19 services.

SB3733 - 1144 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 which it has a certificate of service authority. In determining
2 the level of managerial resources and abilities that the

17 alternative gas suppliers serving or seeking to serve
18 residential or small commercial customers and only to the
19 extent such alternative gas suppliers provide services to
20 residential or small commercial customers, unless otherwise
21 noted.

1 deem proper, with regard to a license on any of the foregoing

8 Section. For actions involving the ground numbered (26), a

SB3733 - 1157 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     The entry of an order or judgment by any circuit court
2 establishing that any person holding a license under this Act
3 is a person in need of mental treatment operates as a
4 suspension of that license. That person may resume their
5 practice only upon the entry of a Departmental order based upon
6 a finding by the Medical Disciplinary Board that they have been
7 determined to be recovered from mental illness by the court and
8 upon the Disciplinary Board's recommendation that they be
9 permitted to resume their practice.
10     The Department may refuse to issue or take disciplinary
11 action concerning the license of any person who fails to file a
12 return, or to pay the tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed
13 return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or
14 interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
15 Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the
16 requirements of any such tax Act are satisfied as determined by
17 the Illinois Department of Revenue.
18     The Department, upon the recommendation of the
19 Disciplinary Board, shall adopt rules which set forth standards
20 to be used in determining:
21         (a) when a person will be deemed sufficiently
22     rehabilitated to warrant the public trust;
23         (b) what constitutes dishonorable, unethical or
24     unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive,
25     defraud, or harm the public;
26         (c) what constitutes immoral conduct in the commission

 

 

SB3733 - 1158 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     of any act, including, but not limited to, commission of an
2     act of sexual misconduct related to the licensee's
3     practice; and
4         (d) what constitutes gross negligence in the practice
5     of medicine.
6     However, no such rule shall be admissible into evidence in
7 any civil action except for review of a licensing or other
8 disciplinary action under this Act.
9     In enforcing this Section, the Medical Disciplinary Board,
10 upon a showing of a possible violation, may compel any
11 individual licensed to practice under this Act, or who has
12 applied for licensure or a permit pursuant to this Act, to
13 submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, as
14 required by and at the expense of the Department. The examining
15 physician or physicians shall be those specifically designated
16 by the Disciplinary Board. The Medical Disciplinary Board or
17 the Department may order the examining physician to present
18 testimony concerning this mental or physical examination of the
19 licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by
20 reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
21 communication between the licensee or applicant and the
22 examining physician. The individual to be examined may have, at
23 his or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice
24 present during all aspects of the examination. Failure of any
25 individual to submit to mental or physical examination, when
26 directed, shall be grounds for suspension of his or her license

 

 

SB3733 - 1159 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 until such time as the individual submits to the examination if
2 the Disciplinary Board finds, after notice and hearing, that
3 the refusal to submit to the examination was without reasonable
4 cause. If the Disciplinary Board finds a physician unable to
5 practice because of the reasons set forth in this Section, the
6 Disciplinary Board shall require such physician to submit to
7 care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or
8 designated by the Disciplinary Board, as a condition for
9 continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to practice. Any
10 physician, whose license was granted pursuant to Sections 9,
11 17, or 19 of this Act, or, continued, reinstated, renewed,
12 disciplined or supervised, subject to such terms, conditions or
13 restrictions who shall fail to comply with such terms,
14 conditions or restrictions, or to complete a required program
15 of care, counseling, or treatment, as determined by the Chief
16 Medical Coordinator or Deputy Medical Coordinators, shall be
17 referred to the Secretary for a determination as to whether the
18 licensee shall have their license suspended immediately,
19 pending a hearing by the Disciplinary Board. In instances in
20 which the Secretary immediately suspends a license under this
21 Section, a hearing upon such person's license must be convened
22 by the Disciplinary Board within 15 days after such suspension

11 recommend to the Department to file a complaint to immediately
12 suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the license of the
13 individual, or the Board may recommend to the Department to
14 file a complaint to suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline
15 the license of the individual. Any individual whose license was
16 granted pursuant to this Act, or continued, reinstated,
17 renewed, disciplined, or supervised, subject to such
18 conditions, terms, or restrictions, who shall fail to comply
19 with such conditions, terms, or restrictions, shall be referred
20 to the Secretary for a determination as to whether the
21 individual shall have his or her license suspended immediately,
22 pending a hearing by the Board.
23     (b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is
24 subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission as
25 provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
26 Code operates as an automatic suspension. The suspension will

 

 

SB3733 - 1173 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 end only upon a finding by a court that the patient is no
2 longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission
3 and issues an order so finding and discharging the patient; and
4 upon the recommendation of the Board to the Secretary that the
5 licensee be allowed to resume his or her practice.

11             (i) the number of retail distributors of tobacco
12         products, by type and geographic area, in the State;
13             (ii) the number of reported citations and
14         successful convictions, categorized by type and

16         Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors and Sale and
17         Distribution of Tobacco Products Act and the Smokeless
18         Tobacco Limitation Act;

24             (iv) the level of access and availability of
25         tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18.
26         To obtain the data necessary to comply with the

 

 

SB3733 - 1248 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     provisions of P.L. 102-321 and the requirements of this
2     report, the Commission shall conduct random, unannounced
3     inspections of a geographically and scientifically
4     representative sample of the State's retail tobacco
5     distributors.
6         The Commission shall consult with the Department of
7     Public Health, the Department of Human Services, the
8     Illinois State Police and any other executive branch
9     agency, and private organizations that may have
10     information relevant to this report.
11         The Commission may contract with the Food and Drug
12     Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
13     Services to conduct unannounced investigations of Illinois
14     tobacco vendors to determine compliance with federal laws
15     relating to the illegal sale of cigarettes and smokeless
16     tobacco products to persons under the age of 18.
17         (14) On or before April 30, 2008 and every 2 years
18     thereafter, the Commission shall present a written report
19     to the Governor and the General Assembly that shall be
20     based on a study of the impact of this amendatory Act of
21     the 95th General Assembly on the business of soliciting,
22     selling, and shipping wine from inside and outside of this
23     State directly to residents of this State. As part of its
24     report, the Commission shall provide all of the following
25     information:
26             (A) The amount of State excise and sales tax

 

 

SB3733 - 1249 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         revenues generated.
2             (B) The amount of licensing fees received.
3             (C) The number of cases of wine shipped from inside

15         enforcement officials, including, without limitation,
16         the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
17         of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
18         (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
19     alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct alcohol
20     compliance operations to investigate whether businesses
21     that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine from inside
22     or outside of this State directly to residents of this
23     State are licensed by this State or are selling or
24     attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
25     violation of this Act.
26         (16) The Commission shall, in addition to notifying any

 

 

SB3733 - 1250 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     appropriate law enforcement agency, submit notices of
2     complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and 6-29.1 by
3     persons who do not hold a winery shipper's license under
4     this amendatory Act to the Illinois Attorney General and to
5     the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
6     and Trade Bureau.
7         (17) (A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
8     of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
9     this amendatory Act and annually produces less than 25,000
10     gallons of wine or a person who has a first-class or
11     second-class wine manufacturer's license, a first-class or
12     second-class wine-maker's license, or a limited wine
13     manufacturer's license under this Act and annually
14     produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine may make
15     application to the Commission for a self-distribution
16     exemption to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons
17     of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per
18     year.
19             (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
20         penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the
21         date it was established; (2) its volume of production
22         and sales for each year since its establishment; (3)
23         its efforts to establish distributor relationships;
24         (4) that a self-distribution exemption is necessary to
25         facilitate the marketing of its wine; and (5) that it
26         will comply with the liquor and revenue laws of the

 

 

SB3733 - 1251 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         United States, this State, and any other state where it
2         is licensed.
3             (C) The Commission shall approve the application
4         for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1)
5         is in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws;
6         (2) is not a member of any affiliated group that
7         produces more than 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or
8         produces any other alcoholic liquor; (3) will not
9         annually produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of
10         wine; and (4) will not annually sell more than 5,000
11         gallons of its wine to retail licensees.
12             (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
13         annually certify to the Commission its production of
14         wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
15         production and sales for the next 12 months. The
16         Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
17         self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it
18         finds that the exemption holder has made a material
19         misrepresentation in its application, violated a
20         revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production
21         of 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or
22         become part of an affiliated group producing more than
23         25,000 gallons of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
24             (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act
25         or amendatory Act or a bona fide investigation by duly
26         sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or

 

 

SB3733 - 1252 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         its agents, the Commission shall maintain the
2         production and sales information of a
3         self-distribution exemption holder as confidential and
4         shall not release such information to any person.
5             (F) The Commission shall issue regulations
6         governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
7         this Section and this Act.
8             (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit
9         a self-distribution exemption holder from entering
10         into or simultaneously having a distribution agreement
11         with a licensed Illinois distributor.
12             (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to
13         promote and continue orderly markets. The General
14         Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
15         regulatory distribution system it is necessary to
16         create an exception for smaller makers of wine as their
17         wines are frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes,
18         vintages, and taste to find and create market niches
19         sometimes too small for distributor or importing
20         distributor business strategies. Limited
21         self-distribution rights will afford and allow smaller
22         makers of wine access to the marketplace in order to
23         develop a customer base without impairing the
24         integrity of the 3-tier system.
25     (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
26 present a written report to the Governor and the General

 

 

SB3733 - 1253 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of this
2 amendatory Act of 1998 on the business of soliciting, selling,
3 and shipping alcoholic liquor from outside of this State
4 directly to residents of this State.
5     As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
6 following information:
7         (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
8     generated as a result of this amendatory Act of 1998;
9         (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result
10     of this amendatory Act of 1998;
11         (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of
12     cease and desist notices issued by the Commission, the
13     number of notices of violations issued to the Department of
14     Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
15     violations to law enforcement officials.

1 operation" or enforcement action against a person employed by
2 the licensee or on any licensed premises if the licensee or
3 officer, associate, member, representative, agent, or employee
4 of the licensee provides written notice, at least 14 days
5 before the "sting operation" or enforcement action, unless
6 governing body of the municipality or county having
7 jurisdiction sets a shorter period by ordinance, to the law
8 enforcement agency having jurisdiction, the local liquor
9 control commissioner, or both. Notice provided under this
10 Section shall be valid for a "sting operation" or enforcement
11 action conducted within 60 days of the provision of that
12 notice, unless the governing body of the municipality or county
13 having jurisdiction sets a shorter period by ordinance.
14     (b) A local liquor control commission or unit of local
15 government that conducts alcohol and tobacco compliance
16 operations shall establish a policy and standards for alcohol
17 and tobacco compliance operations to investigate whether a
18 licensee is furnishing (1) alcoholic liquor to persons under 21
19 years of age in violation of this Act or (2) tobacco to persons
20 in violation of the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors and
21 Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products Act.
22     (c) The Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board
23 shall develop a model policy and guidelines for the operation
24 of alcohol and tobacco compliance checks by local law
25 enforcement officers. The Illinois Law Enforcement Training
26 Standards Board shall also require the supervising officers of

 

 

SB3733 - 1255 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 such compliance checks to have met a minimum training standard
2 as determined by the Board. The Board shall have the right to
3 waive any training based on current written policies and
4 procedures for alcohol and tobacco compliance check operations
5 and in-service training already administered by the local law
6 enforcement agency, department, or office.
7     (d) The provisions of subsections (b) and (c) do not apply
8 to a home rule unit with more than 2,000,000 inhabitants.
9     (e) A home rule unit, other than a home rule unit with more
10 than 2,000,000 inhabitants, may not regulate enforcement
11 actions in a manner inconsistent with the regulation of
12 enforcement actions under this Section. This subsection (e) is
13 a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII
14 of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home
15 rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
16     (f) A licensee who is the subject of an enforcement action
17 or "sting operation" under this Section and is found, pursuant
18 to the enforcement action, to be in compliance with this Act
19 shall be notified by the enforcement agency action that no
20 violation was found within 30 days after the finding.

12 person. A tax is imposed upon the privilege of engaging in
13 business as a manufacturer of beer or as an importing
14 distributor of beer at the rate of $0.185 per gallon until
15 September 1, 2009 and $0.231 per gallon beginning September 1,
16 2009 on all beer manufactured and sold or used by such

20 entitled to and given a credit or refund of 75% of the tax
21 imposed on each gallon of beer up to 4.9 million gallons per
22 year in any given calendar year for tax paid or payable on beer

9 privilege of engaging in business as a retailer or as a
10 distributor who is not also an importing distributor with
11 respect to all beer and all alcohol and spirits owned or
12 possessed by such retailer or distributor when this amendatory
13 Act of 1969 becomes effective, and with respect to which the
14 additional tax imposed by this amendatory Act upon

20     The provisions of this Section shall be construed to apply

4 state, to import such alcoholic liquor, nor as to any alcoholic
5 liquor other than beer sold by one Illinois licensed
6 manufacturer or importing distributor to another Illinois
7 licensed manufacturer or importing distributor to the extent to
8 which the sale of alcoholic liquor other than beer by one
9 Illinois licensed manufacturer or importing distributor to
10 another Illinois licensed manufacturer or importing
11 distributor is authorized by the licensing provisions of this
12 Act, nor to alcoholic liquor whether manufactured in or
13 imported into this State when sold to a "non-beverage user"
14 licensed by the State for use in the manufacture of any of the

18     Flavoring extracts and syrups and food products;
19     Scientific, industrial and chemical products, excepting
20 denatured alcohol;
21     Or for scientific, chemical, experimental or mechanical

23     Nor is the tax imposed upon the privilege of engaging in
24 any business in interstate commerce or otherwise, which
25 business may not, under the Constitution and Statutes of the
26 United States, be made the subject of taxation by this State.

 

 

SB3733 - 1259 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     The tax herein imposed shall be in addition to all other
2 occupation or privilege taxes imposed by the State of Illinois
3 or political subdivision thereof.
4     If any alcoholic liquor manufactured in or imported into
5 this State is sold to a licensed manufacturer or importing
6 distributor by a licensed manufacturer or importing
7 distributor to be used solely as an ingredient in the
8 manufacture of any beverage for human consumption, the tax
9 imposed upon such purchasing manufacturer or importing
10 distributor shall be reduced by the amount of the taxes which
11 have been paid by the selling manufacturer or importing
12 distributor under this Act as to such alcoholic liquor so used
13 to the Department of Revenue.
14     If any person received any alcoholic liquors from a
15 manufacturer or importing distributor, with respect to which
16 alcoholic liquors no tax is imposed under this Article, and

20 person shall make the same reports and returns, pay the same
21 taxes and be subject to all other provisions of this Article
22 relating to manufacturers and importing distributors.
23     Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require the

13     Section 500. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
14 changing Sections 4-2, 5-2, 5-5.4, 5-5, 12-4.11, and 12-4.201
15 and by setting forth and renumbering multiple versions of
16 Section 12-4.37 as follows:
 
17     (305 ILCS 5/4-2)  (from Ch. 23, par. 4-2)
18     Sec. 4-2. Amount of aid.
19     (a) The amount and nature of financial aid shall be
20 determined in accordance with the grant amounts, rules and
21 regulations of the Illinois Department. Due regard shall be
22 given to the self-sufficiency requirements of the family and to
23 the income, money contributions and other support and resources
24 available, from whatever source. However, the amount and nature

 

 

SB3733 - 1261 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of any financial aid is not affected by the payment of any
2 grant under the "Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property
3 Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
4 distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
5 (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the
6 Illinois Income Tax Act. The aid shall be sufficient, when
7 added to all other income, money contributions and support to
8 provide the family with a grant in the amount established by
9 Department regulation. Beginning July 1, 2008, the Department
10 of Human Services shall increase TANF grant amounts in effect
11 on June 30, 2008 by 9%.
12     Subject to appropriation, beginning on July 1, 2008, the
13 Department of Human Services shall increase TANF grant amounts
14 in effect on June 30, 2008 by 15%. The Department is authorized
15 to administer this increase but may not otherwise adopt any
16 rule to implement this increase.
17     (b) The Illinois Department may conduct special projects,
18 which may be known as Grant Diversion Projects, under which
19 recipients of financial aid under this Article are placed in
20 jobs and their grants are diverted to the employer who in turn
21 makes payments to the recipients in the form of salary or other
22 employment benefits. The Illinois Department shall by rule
23 specify the terms and conditions of such Grant Diversion
24 Projects. Such projects shall take into consideration and be
25 coordinated with the programs administered under the Illinois
26 Emergency Employment Development Act.

 

 

SB3733 - 1262 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (c) The amount and nature of the financial aid for a child
2 requiring care outside his own home shall be determined in
3 accordance with the rules and regulations of the Illinois
4 Department, with due regard to the needs and requirements of
5 the child in the foster home or institution in which he has
6 been placed.
7     (d) If the Department establishes grants for family units
8 consisting exclusively of a pregnant woman with no dependent
9 child or including her husband if living with her, the grant
10 amount for such a unit shall be equal to the grant amount for
11 an assistance unit consisting of one adult, or 2 persons if the
12 husband is included. Other than as herein described, an unborn
13 child shall not be counted in determining the size of an
14 assistance unit or for calculating grants.
15     Payments for basic maintenance requirements of a child or
16 children and the relative with whom the child or children are
17 living shall be prescribed, by rule, by the Illinois
18 Department.
19     Grants under this Article shall not be supplemented by
20 General Assistance provided under Article VI.
21     (e) Grants shall be paid to the parent or other person with
22 whom the child or children are living, except for such amount
23 as is paid in behalf of the child or his parent or other
24 relative to other persons or agencies pursuant to this Code or
25 the rules and regulations of the Illinois Department.
26     (f) Subject to subsection (f-5), an assistance unit,

 

 

SB3733 - 1263 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 receiving financial aid under this Article or temporarily
2 ineligible to receive aid under this Article under a penalty
3 imposed by the Illinois Department for failure to comply with
4 the eligibility requirements or that voluntarily requests
5 termination of financial assistance under this Article and
6 becomes subsequently eligible for assistance within 9 months,
7 shall not receive any increase in the amount of aid solely on
8 account of the birth of a child; except that an increase is not
9 prohibited when the birth is (i) of a child of a pregnant woman
10 who became eligible for aid under this Article during the
11 pregnancy, or (ii) of a child born within 10 months after the
12 date of implementation of this subsection, or (iii) of a child
13 conceived after a family became ineligible for assistance due
14 to income or marriage and at least 3 months of ineligibility
15 expired before any reapplication for assistance. This
16 subsection does not, however, prevent a unit from receiving a
17 general increase in the amount of aid that is provided to all
18 recipients of aid under this Article.
19     The Illinois Department is authorized to transfer funds,
20 and shall use any budgetary savings attributable to not
21 increasing the grants due to the births of additional children,
22 to supplement existing funding for employment and training
23 services for recipients of aid under this Article IV. The
24 Illinois Department shall target, to the extent the
25 supplemental funding allows, employment and training services
26 to the families who do not receive a grant increase after the

 

 

SB3733 - 1264 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 birth of a child. In addition, the Illinois Department shall
2 provide, to the extent the supplemental funding allows, such
3 families with up to 24 months of transitional child care
4 pursuant to Illinois Department rules. All remaining
5 supplemental funds shall be used for employment and training
6 services or transitional child care support.
7     In making the transfers authorized by this subsection, the
8 Illinois Department shall first determine, pursuant to
9 regulations adopted by the Illinois Department for this
10 purpose, the amount of savings attributable to not increasing
11 the grants due to the births of additional children. Transfers
12 may be made from General Revenue Fund appropriations for
13 distributive purposes authorized by Article IV of this Code
14 only to General Revenue Fund appropriations for employability
15 development services including operating and administrative
16 costs and related distributive purposes under Article IXA of
17 this Code. The Director, with the approval of the Governor,
18 shall certify the amount and affected line item appropriations
19 to the State Comptroller.
20     Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit
21 the Illinois Department from using funds under this Article IV
22 to provide assistance in the form of vouchers that may be used
23 to pay for goods and services deemed by the Illinois
24 Department, by rule, as suitable for the care of the child such
25 as diapers, clothing, school supplies, and cribs.
26     (f-5) Subsection (f) shall not apply to affect the monthly

 

 

SB3733 - 1265 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 assistance amount of any family as a result of the birth of a
2 child on or after January 1, 2004. As resources permit after
3 January 1, 2004, the Department may cease applying subsection
4 (f) to limit assistance to families receiving assistance under
5 this Article on January 1, 2004, with respect to children born
6 prior to that date. In any event, subsection (f) shall be
7 completely inoperative on and after July 1, 2007.
8     (g) (Blank).
9     (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the
10 Illinois Department is authorized to reduce payment levels used
11 to determine cash grants under this Article after December 31
12 of any fiscal year if the Illinois Department determines that
13 the caseload upon which the appropriations for the current
14 fiscal year are based have increased by more than 5% and the
15 appropriation is not sufficient to ensure that cash benefits
16 under this Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for
17 those cash benefits. Reductions in payment levels may be
18 accomplished by emergency rule under Section 5-45 of the
19 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, except that the
20 limitation on the number of emergency rules that may be adopted
21 in a 24-month period shall not apply and the provisions of
22 Sections 5-115 and 5-125 of the Illinois Administrative
23 Procedure Act shall not apply. Increases in payment levels
24 shall be accomplished only in accordance with Section 5-40 of
25 the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Before any rule to
26 increase payment levels promulgated under this Section shall

 

 

SB3733 - 1266 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 become effective, a joint resolution approving the rule must be
2 adopted by a roll call vote by a majority of the members
3 elected to each chamber of the General Assembly.

22     Assembly by adopting the medical assistance rules in effect
23     as of October 1, 2007, at 89 Ill. Admin. Code 125, and at
24     89 Ill. Admin. Code 120.32 along with only those changes
25     necessary to conform to federal Medicaid requirements,
26     federal laws, and federal regulations, including but not

 

 

SB3733 - 1277 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     limited to Section 1931 of the Social Security Act (42
2     U.S.C. Sec. 1396u-1), as interpreted by the U.S. Department
3     of Health and Human Services, and the countable income
4     eligibility standard authorized by this paragraph 15. The
5     Department may not otherwise adopt any rule to implement
6     this increase except as authorized by law, to meet the
7     eligibility standards authorized by the federal government
8     in the Medicaid State Plan or the Title XXI Plan, or to
9     meet an order from the federal government or any court.
10         16. 15. Subject to appropriation, uninsured persons
11     who are not otherwise eligible under this Section who have
12     been certified and referred by the Department of Public
13     Health as having been screened and found to need diagnostic
14     evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and
15     treatment, for prostate or testicular cancer. For the
16     purposes of this paragraph 16 15, uninsured persons are
17     those who do not have creditable coverage, as defined under
18     the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,
19     or have otherwise exhausted any insurance benefits they may
20     have had, for prostate or testicular cancer diagnostic
21     evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and
22     treatment. To be eligible, a person must furnish a Social
23     Security number. A person's assets are exempt from
24     consideration in determining eligibility under this
25     paragraph 16 15. Such persons shall be eligible for medical
26     assistance under this paragraph 16 15 for so long as they

 

 

SB3733 - 1278 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     need treatment for the cancer. A person shall be considered
2     to need treatment if, in the opinion of the person's
3     treating physician, the person requires therapy directed
4     toward cure or palliation of prostate or testicular cancer,
5     including recurrent metastatic cancer that is a known or
6     presumed complication of prostate or testicular cancer and
7     complications resulting from the treatment modalities
8     themselves. Persons who require only routine monitoring
9     services are not considered to need treatment. "Medical
10     assistance" under this paragraph 16 15 shall be identical
11     to the benefits provided under the State's approved plan
12     under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. Notwithstanding
13     any other provision of law, the Department (i) does not
14     have a claim against the estate of a deceased recipient of
15     services under this paragraph 16 15 and (ii) does not have
16     a lien against any homestead property or other legal or
17     equitable real property interest owned by a recipient of
18     services under this paragraph 16 15.
19     In implementing the provisions of Public Act 96-20 this
20 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the Department is
21 authorized to adopt only those rules necessary, including
22 emergency rules. Nothing in Public Act 96-20 this amendatory
23 Act of the 96th General Assembly permits the Department to
24 adopt rules or issue a decision that expands eligibility for
25 the FamilyCare Program to a person whose income exceeds 185% of
26 the Federal Poverty Level as determined from time to time by

 

 

SB3733 - 1279 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, unless the
2 Department is provided with express statutory authority.
3     The Illinois Department and the Governor shall provide a
4 plan for coverage of the persons eligible under paragraph 7 as
5 soon as possible after July 1, 1984.
6     The eligibility of any such person for medical assistance
7 under this Article is not affected by the payment of any grant
8 under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax
9 Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act or any distributions
10 or items of income described under subparagraph (X) of
11 paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois
12 Income Tax Act. The Department shall by rule establish the
13 amounts of assets to be disregarded in determining eligibility
14 for medical assistance, which shall at a minimum equal the
15 amounts to be disregarded under the Federal Supplemental
16 Security Income Program. The amount of assets of a single
17 person to be disregarded shall not be less than $2,000, and the
18 amount of assets of a married couple to be disregarded shall
19 not be less than $3,000.
20     To the extent permitted under federal law, any person found
21 guilty of a second violation of Article VIIIA shall be
22 ineligible for medical assistance under this Article, as
23 provided in Section 8A-8.
24     The eligibility of any person for medical assistance under
25 this Article shall not be affected by the receipt by the person
26 of donations or benefits from fundraisers held for the person

 

 

SB3733 - 1280 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 in cases of serious illness, as long as neither the person nor
2 members of the person's family have actual control over the
3 donations or benefits or the disbursement of the donations or
4 benefits.

9     All screenings shall include a physical breast exam,
10 instruction on self-examination and information regarding the
11 frequency of self-examination and its value as a preventative
12 tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography"
13 means the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment

7 qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics.
8 These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other
9 hospital-based mammography facilities.
10     The Department shall establish a methodology to remind
11 women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but
12 who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18
13 months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography.
14     The Department shall establish a performance goal for
15 primary care providers with respect to their female patients
16 over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance
17 goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the
18 form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers
19 who meet that goal.
20     The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or
21 patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast
22 cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program
23 in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality
24 related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall
25 be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall

13 coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
14 addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the
15 Illinois Medicaid Program in conjunction with the Department of
16 Human Services.
17     All medical providers providing medical assistance to
18 pregnant women under this Code shall receive information from
19 the Department on the availability of services under the Drug
20 Free Families with a Future or any comparable program providing
21 case management services for addicted women, including
22 information on appropriate referrals for other social services

24 for addiction.
25     The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the
26 Departments of Human Services (as successor to the Department

 

 

SB3733 - 1287 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse) and Public Health, through a
2 public awareness campaign, may provide information concerning
3 treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and addiction, prenatal
4 health care, and other pertinent programs directed at reducing
5 the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of
6 medical assistance.
7     Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services
8 nor the Department of Human Services shall sanction the
9 recipient solely on the basis of her substance abuse.
10     The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations
11 governing the dispensing of health services under this Article
12 as it shall deem appropriate. The Department should seek the
13 advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
14 the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of
15 providing regular advice on policy and administrative matters,
16 information dissemination and educational activities for
17 medical and health care providers, and consistency in
18 procedures to the Illinois Department.

23 in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall be
24 represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule,
25 shall develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships.
26 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require that the

 

 

SB3733 - 1288 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 sponsor organization be a medical organization.
2     The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with
3 medical providers for physician services, inpatient and
4 outpatient hospital care, home health services, treatment for
5 alcoholism and substance abuse, and other services determined
6 necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for delivery by
7 Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
8 obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse
9 medical services delivered by Partnership providers to clients
10 in target areas according to provisions of this Article and the
11 Illinois Health Finance Reform Act, except that:
12         (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and
13     providing certain services, which shall be determined by
14     the Illinois Department, to persons in areas covered by the
15     Partnership may receive an additional surcharge for such
16     services.
17         (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate
18     financial incentives to encourage the development of
19     Partnerships and the efficient delivery of medical care.

22     services above the level usually offered through the
23     medical assistance program.
24     Medical providers shall be required to meet certain

26 delivery of high quality medical services. These

 

 

SB3733 - 1289 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
2 Department and may be higher than qualifications for
3 participation in the medical assistance program. Partnership
4 sponsors may prescribe reasonable additional qualifications
5 for participation by medical providers, only with the prior
6 written approval of the Illinois Department.
7     Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of
8 practitioners, hospitals, and other providers of medical
9 services by clients. In order to ensure patient freedom of
10 choice, the Illinois Department shall immediately promulgate
11 all rules and take all other necessary actions so that provided
12 services may be accessed from therapeutically certified
13 optometrists to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric
14 Practice Act of 1987 without discriminating between service
15 providers.
16     The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United
17 States Health Care Financing Administration to allow for the
18 implementation of Partnerships under this Section.
19     The Illinois Department shall require health care
20 providers to maintain records that document the medical care
21 and services provided to recipients of Medical Assistance under
22 this Article. The Illinois Department shall require health care
23 providers to make available, when authorized by the patient, in
24 writing, the medical records in a timely fashion to other
25 health care providers who are treating or serving persons
26 eligible for Medical Assistance under this Article. All

6 regulations promulgated by the Illinois Department. The rules
7 and regulations shall require that proof of the receipt of
8 prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
9 eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany
10 each claim for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such
11 medical services. No such claims for reimbursement shall be
12 approved for payment by the Illinois Department without such
13 proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department shall have put
14 into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
15 audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed
16 adequate by the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs,
17 dentures, prosthetic devices and eyeglasses for which payment
18 is being made are actually being received by eligible
19 recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of this
20 amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish
21 a current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices

23 for the Illinois Department.

25 transportation, defined by the Department by rule, shall be
26 conditional for 180 days. During that time, the Department of

 

 

SB3733 - 1292 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Healthcare and Family Services may terminate the vendor's
2 eligibility to participate in the medical assistance program
3 without cause. That termination of eligibility is not subject
4 to the Department's hearing process.
5     The Illinois Department shall establish policies,
6 procedures, standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition,

7 quality standards. Based on these quality standards, the
8 Department shall provide for bonus payments to mammography
9 facilities meeting the standards for screening and diagnosis.
10 The bonus payments shall be at least 15% higher than the
11 Medicare rates for mammography.
12     Subject to federal approval, the Department shall
13 establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally
14 qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics.
15 These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other
16 hospital-based mammography facilities.
17     The Department shall establish a methodology to remind
18 women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but
19 who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18
20 months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography.
21     The Department shall establish a performance goal for
22 primary care providers with respect to their female patients

1     The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or
2 patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast
3 cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program
4 in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality
5 related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall
6 be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall
7 be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the
8 pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes
9 and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared
10 to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot
11 program.
12     Any medical or health care provider shall immediately
13 recommend, to any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal
14 services and is suspected of drug abuse or is addicted as
15 defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency
16 Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
17 licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
18 hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services.
19 The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall assure
20 coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
21 addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the
22 Illinois Medicaid Program in conjunction with the Department of
23 Human Services.
24     All medical providers providing medical assistance to
25 pregnant women under this Code shall receive information from
26 the Department on the availability of services under the Drug

 

 

SB3733 - 1301 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Free Families with a Future or any comparable program providing
2 case management services for addicted women, including
3 information on appropriate referrals for other social services
4 that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment
5 for addiction.
6     The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the
7 Departments of Human Services (as successor to the Department
8 of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse) and Public Health, through a
9 public awareness campaign, may provide information concerning
10 treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and addiction, prenatal
11 health care, and other pertinent programs directed at reducing
12 the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of
13 medical assistance.
14     Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services
15 nor the Department of Human Services shall sanction the
16 recipient solely on the basis of her substance abuse.
17     The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations
18 governing the dispensing of health services under this Article
19 as it shall deem appropriate. The Department should seek the
20 advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
21 the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of
22 providing regular advice on policy and administrative matters,
23 information dissemination and educational activities for
24 medical and health care providers, and consistency in
25 procedures to the Illinois Department.
26     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a health care

 

 

SB3733 - 1302 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 provider under the medical assistance program may elect, in
2 lieu of receiving direct payment for services provided under
3 that program, to participate in the State Employees Deferred
4 Compensation Plan adopted under Article 24 of the Illinois
5 Pension Code. A health care provider who elects to participate
6 in the plan does not have a cause of action against the State
7 for any damages allegedly suffered by the provider as a result
8 of any delay by the State in crediting the amount of any
9 contribution to the provider's plan account.
10     The Illinois Department may develop and contract with
11 Partnerships of medical providers to arrange medical services
12 for persons eligible under Section 5-2 of this Code.
13 Implementation of this Section may be by demonstration projects
14 in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall be
15 represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule,
16 shall develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships.
17 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require that the
18 sponsor organization be a medical organization.
19     The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with
20 medical providers for physician services, inpatient and
21 outpatient hospital care, home health services, treatment for
22 alcoholism and substance abuse, and other services determined
23 necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for delivery by
24 Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
25 obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse
26 medical services delivered by Partnership providers to clients

 

 

SB3733 - 1303 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 in target areas according to provisions of this Article and the
2 Illinois Health Finance Reform Act, except that:
3         (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and
4     providing certain services, which shall be determined by
5     the Illinois Department, to persons in areas covered by the
6     Partnership may receive an additional surcharge for such
7     services.
8         (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate
9     financial incentives to encourage the development of
10     Partnerships and the efficient delivery of medical care.
11         (3) Persons receiving medical services through
12     Partnerships may receive medical and case management
13     services above the level usually offered through the
14     medical assistance program.
15     Medical providers shall be required to meet certain
16 qualifications to participate in Partnerships to ensure the
17 delivery of high quality medical services. These
18 qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
19 Department and may be higher than qualifications for
20 participation in the medical assistance program. Partnership
21 sponsors may prescribe reasonable additional qualifications
22 for participation by medical providers, only with the prior
23 written approval of the Illinois Department.
24     Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of
25 practitioners, hospitals, and other providers of medical
26 services by clients. In order to ensure patient freedom of

 

 

SB3733 - 1304 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 choice, the Illinois Department shall immediately promulgate
2 all rules and take all other necessary actions so that provided
3 services may be accessed from therapeutically certified
4 optometrists to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric
5 Practice Act of 1987 without discriminating between service
6 providers.
7     The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United
8 States Health Care Financing Administration to allow for the
9 implementation of Partnerships under this Section.
10     The Illinois Department shall require health care
11 providers to maintain records that document the medical care
12 and services provided to recipients of Medical Assistance under
13 this Article. The Illinois Department shall require health care
14 providers to make available, when authorized by the patient, in
15 writing, the medical records in a timely fashion to other
16 health care providers who are treating or serving persons
17 eligible for Medical Assistance under this Article. All
18 dispensers of medical services shall be required to maintain
19 and retain business and professional records sufficient to
20 fully and accurately document the nature, scope, details and
21 receipt of the health care provided to persons eligible for
22 medical assistance under this Code, in accordance with
23 regulations promulgated by the Illinois Department. The rules
24 and regulations shall require that proof of the receipt of
25 prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
26 eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany

 

 

SB3733 - 1305 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 each claim for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such
2 medical services. No such claims for reimbursement shall be
3 approved for payment by the Illinois Department without such
4 proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department shall have put
5 into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
6 audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed
7 adequate by the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs,
8 dentures, prosthetic devices and eyeglasses for which payment
9 is being made are actually being received by eligible
10 recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of this
11 amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish
12 a current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices
13 and any other items recognized as medical equipment and
14 supplies reimbursable under this Article and shall update such
15 list on a quarterly basis, except that the acquisition costs of
16 all prescription drugs shall be updated no less frequently than
17 every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
18     The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall
19 require that a written statement including the required opinion
20 of a physician shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for
21 abortions, or induced miscarriages or premature births. This
22 statement shall indicate what procedures were used in providing
23 such medical services.
24     The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of
25 medical services, other than an individual practitioner or
26 group of practitioners, desiring to participate in the Medical

 

 

SB3733 - 1306 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 Assistance program established under this Article to disclose
2 all financial, beneficial, ownership, equity, surety or other
3 interests in any and all firms, corporations, partnerships,
4 associations, business enterprises, joint ventures, agencies,
5 institutions or other legal entities providing any form of
6 health care services in this State under this Article.
7     The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of
8 medical services desiring to participate in the medical
9 assistance program established under this Article disclose,
10 under such terms and conditions as the Illinois Department may
11 by rule establish, all inquiries from clients and attorneys
12 regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
13 inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens
14 for the Illinois Department.
15     Enrollment of a vendor that provides non-emergency medical
16 transportation, defined by the Department by rule, shall be
17 conditional for 180 days. During that time, the Department of
18 Healthcare and Family Services may terminate the vendor's
19 eligibility to participate in the medical assistance program
20 without cause. That termination of eligibility is not subject
21 to the Department's hearing process.
22     The Illinois Department shall establish policies,
23 procedures, standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition,
24 repair and replacement of orthotic and prosthetic devices and
25 durable medical equipment. Such rules shall provide, but not be
26 limited to, the following services: (1) immediate repair or

 

 

SB3733 - 1307 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 replacement of such devices by recipients without medical
2 authorization; and (2) rental, lease, purchase or
3 lease-purchase of durable medical equipment in a
4 cost-effective manner, taking into consideration the
5 recipient's medical prognosis, the extent of the recipient's
6 needs, and the requirements and costs for maintaining such
7 equipment. Such rules shall enable a recipient to temporarily
8 acquire and use alternative or substitute devices or equipment
9 pending repairs or replacements of any device or equipment
10 previously authorized for such recipient by the Department.
11     The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home
12 prescreening project, written inter-agency agreements with the
13 Department of Human Services and the Department on Aging, to
14 effect the following: (i) intake procedures and common
15 eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving
16 non-institutional services; and (ii) the establishment and
17 development of non-institutional services in areas of the State
18 where they are not currently available or are undeveloped.
19     The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in
20 cooperation with other State Departments and agencies and in
21 compliance with applicable federal laws and regulations,
22 appropriate and effective systems of health care evaluation and
23 programs for monitoring of utilization of health care services
24 and facilities, as it affects persons eligible for medical
25 assistance under this Code.
26     The Illinois Department shall report annually to the

12 ending on the June 30 prior to the report. The report shall
13 include suggested legislation for consideration by the General
14 Assembly. The filing of one copy of the report with the
15 Speaker, one copy with the Minority Leader and one copy with

21 as is required under paragraph (t) of Section 7 of the State
22 Library Act shall be deemed sufficient to comply with this
23 Section.

14 services. The primary purpose of these new dental clinics will
15 be to increase dental access for low-income and Department of
16 Healthcare and Family Services clients who have no dental
17 arrangements with a dental provider in a project's service
18 area. The dental clinic must be willing to accept out-of-area
19 clients who need dental services, including emergency services
20 for adults and Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and
21 Treatment (EPSDT)-referral children. Medically Underserved
22 Areas (MUAs) and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs)
23 shall receive special priority for grants under this program.
24     (b) Eligible applicants. The following entities are
25 eligible to apply for grants:

3         (3) Rural health clinics (RHCs).
4     (c) Use of grant moneys. Grant moneys must be used to
5 support projects that develop dental services to meet the
6 dental health care needs of Department of Healthcare and Family
7 Services Dental Program clients. Grant moneys must be used for
8 operating expenses, including, but not limited to: insurance;
9 dental supplies and equipment; dental support services; and
10 renovation expenses. Grant moneys may not be used to offset
11 existing indebtedness, supplant existing funds, purchase real
12 property, or pay for personnel service salaries for dental
13 employees.
14     (d) Application process. The Department shall establish
15 procedures for applying for dental clinic grants.

18     Sec. 12-4.201. (a) Data warehouse concerning medical and
19 related services.
20     (a) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services may
21 purchase services and materials associated with the costs of

SB3733 - 1336 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (b) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall
2 perform all necessary administrative functions to expand its
3 linearly-scalable data warehouse to encompass other healthcare
4 data sources at both the Department of Human Services and the
5 Department of Public Health. The Department of Healthcare and
6 Family Services shall leverage the inherent capabilities of the
7 data warehouse to accomplish this expansion with marginal
8 additional technical administration. The purpose of this
9 expansion is to allow for programmatic review and analysis
10 including the interrelatedness among the various healthcare
11 programs in order to ascertain effectiveness toward, and
12 ultimate impact on, clients. Beginning July 1, 2005, the
13 Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly
14 Department of Public Aid) shall supply quarterly reports to the
15 Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability
16 detailing progress toward this mandate.
17     (c) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS),
18 the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Illinois
19 Department of Human Services, and the Division of Specialized
20 Care for Children, University of Illinois at Chicago, with
21 necessary support from the Department of Central Management
22 Services, shall integrate into the medical data warehouse
23 individual record level data owned by one of these agencies
24 that pertains to maternal and child health, including the
25 following data sets:
26         (1) Vital Records as they relate to births, birth

 

 

SB3733 - 1337 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     outcomes, and deaths.
2         (2) Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Reporting System
3     (APORS).
4         (3) Genetics/Newborn Screenings/SIDS.
5         (4) Cornerstone (WIC, FCM, Teen Parents,
6     Immunization).
7         (5) HFS medical claims data.
8         (6) I-CARE.
9         (7) Children with Special Healthcare Needs Data.
10     By September 1, 2009, the departments of Healthcare and
11 Family Services, Public Health, and Human Services and the
12 Division of Specialized Care for Children shall jointly prepare
13 a work plan for fully integrating these data sets into the
14 medical data warehouse. The work plan shall provide an overall
15 project design, including defining a mutually acceptable
16 transfer format for each discrete data set, the data update
17 frequency, and a single method of data transfer for each data
18 set. By October 1, 2009, the Department of Public Health shall
19 grant to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services
20 complete access to all vital records data. The Department of
21 Public Health shall prepare a report detailing that this task
22 has been accomplished and submit this report to the Commission
23 on Government Forecasting and Accountability by October 15,
24 2009. By March 1, 2010, the data sets shall be completely
25 loaded into the medical data warehouse. By July 1, 2010, data
26 from the various sources shall be processed so as to be

 

 

SB3733 - 1338 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 compatible with other data in the medical data warehouse and
2 available for analysis in an integrated manner.
3     With the cooperation of the other agencies, HFS shall
4 submit status reports on the progress of these efforts to the
5 Governor and the General Assembly no later than October 1, 2009
6 and April 1, 2010, with a final report due no later than
7 November 1, 2010.
8     On an ongoing basis, the 4 agencies shall review the
9 feasibility of adding data from additional sources to the
10 warehouse. Such review may take into account the cost
11 effectiveness of adding the data, the utility of adding data
12 that is not available as identifiable individual record level
13 data, the requirements related to adding data owned by another
14 entity or not available in electronic form, whether sharing of
15 the data is otherwise prohibited by law and the resources
16 required and available for effecting the addition.
17     The departments shall use analysis of the data in the
18 medical data warehouse to improve maternal and child health
19 outcomes, and in particular improve birth outcomes, and to
20 reduce racial health disparities in this area.
21     All access and use of the data shall be in compliance with
22 all applicable federal and State laws, regulations, and
23 mandates.
24     Notwithstanding anything in this Section, data
25 incorporated into the data warehouse shall remain subject to
26 the same provisions of law regarding confidentiality and use

 

 

SB3733 - 1339 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 restrictions as they are subject to in the control of the
2 contributing agency. The Department of Healthcare and Family
3 Services shall develop measures to ensure that the interplay of
4 the several data sets contributed to the data warehouse does
5 not lead to the use or release of data from the data warehouse
6 that would not otherwise be subject to use or release under
7 State or federal law.

10     Section 505. The Energy Assistance Act is amended by
11 changing Sections 6 and 13 as follows:
 
12     (305 ILCS 20/6)  (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1406)
13     Sec. 6. Eligibility, Conditions of Participation, and
14 Energy Assistance.
15     (a) Any person who is a resident of the State of Illinois
16 and whose household income is not greater than an amount
17 determined annually by the Department, in consultation with the
18 Policy Advisory Council, may apply for assistance pursuant to
19 this Act in accordance with regulations promulgated by the
20 Department. In setting the annual eligibility level, the
21 Department shall consider the amount of available funding and
22 may not set a limit higher than 150% of the federal nonfarm
23 poverty level as established by the federal Office of
24 Management and Budget; except that for the period ending June

 

 

SB3733 - 1340 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 30, 2012, or until the expenditure of federal resources
2 allocated for energy assistance programs by the American
3 Recovery and Reinvestment Act, whichever occurs first, the
4 Department may not establish limits higher than 200% of that
5 poverty level.
6     (b) Applicants who qualify for assistance pursuant to
7 subsection (a) of this Section shall, subject to appropriation
8 from the General Assembly and subject to availability of funds
9 to the Department, receive energy assistance as provided by
10 this Act. The Department, upon receipt of monies authorized
11 pursuant to this Act for energy assistance, shall commit funds
12 for each qualified applicant in an amount determined by the
13 Department. In determining the amounts of assistance to be
14 provided to or on behalf of a qualified applicant, the
15 Department shall ensure that the highest amounts of assistance
16 go to households with the greatest energy costs in relation to
17 household income. The Department shall include factors such as
18 energy costs, household size, household income, and region of
19 the State when determining individual household benefits. In
20 setting assistance levels, the Department shall attempt to
21 provide assistance to approximately the same number of
22 households who participated in the 1991 Residential Energy
23 Assistance Partnership Program. Such assistance levels shall
24 be adjusted annually on the basis of funding availability and
25 energy costs. In promulgating rules for the administration of
26 this Section the Department shall assure that a minimum of 1/3

 

 

SB3733 - 1341 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 of funds available for benefits to eligible households with the
2 lowest incomes and that elderly and disabled households are
3 offered a priority application period.
4     (c) If the applicant is not a customer of record of an
5 energy provider for energy services or an applicant for such
6 service, such applicant shall receive a direct energy
7 assistance payment in an amount established by the Department
8 for all such applicants under this Act; provided, however, that
9 such an applicant must have rental expenses for housing greater
10 than 30% of household income.
11     (c-1) This subsection shall apply only in cases where: (1)
12 the applicant is not a customer of record of an energy provider
13 because energy services are provided by the owner of the unit
14 as a portion of the rent; (2) the applicant resides in housing
15 subsidized or developed with funds provided under the Rental
16 Housing Support Program Act or under a similar locally funded
17 rent subsidy program, or is the voucher holder who resides in a
18 rental unit within the State of Illinois and whose monthly rent
19 is subsidized by the tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher
20 Program under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; and
21 (3) the rental expenses for housing are no more than 30% of
22 household income. In such cases, the household may apply for an
23 energy assistance payment under this Act and the owner of the
24 housing unit shall cooperate with the applicant by providing
25 documentation of the energy costs for that unit. Any
26 compensation paid to the energy provider who supplied energy

 

 

SB3733 - 1342 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 services to the household shall be paid on behalf of the owner
2 of the housing unit providing energy services to the household.
3 The Department shall report annually to the General Assembly on
4 the number of households receiving energy assistance under this
5 subsection and the cost of such assistance. The provisions of
6 this subsection (c-1), other than this sentence, are
7 inoperative after August 31, 2012.
8     (d) If the applicant is a customer of an energy provider,
9 such applicant shall receive energy assistance in an amount
10 established by the Department for all such applicants under
11 this Act, such amount to be paid by the Department to the
12 energy provider supplying winter energy service to such
13 applicant. Such applicant shall:
14         (i) make all reasonable efforts to apply to any other
15     appropriate source of public energy assistance; and
16         (ii) sign a waiver permitting the Department to receive
17     income information from any public or private agency
18     providing income or energy assistance and from any
19     employer, whether public or private.
20     (e) Any qualified applicant pursuant to this Section may
21 receive or have paid on such applicant's behalf an emergency
22 assistance payment to enable such applicant to obtain access to
23 winter energy services. Any such payments shall be made in
24 accordance with regulations of the Department.
25     (f) The Department may, if sufficient funds are available,
26 provide additional benefits to certain qualified applicants:

 

 

SB3733 - 1343 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (i) for the reduction of past due amounts owed to
2     energy providers; and
3         (ii) to assist the household in responding to
4     excessively high summer temperatures or energy costs.
5     Households containing elderly members, children, a person
6     with a disability, or a person with a medical need for
7     conditioned air shall receive priority for receipt of such
8     benefits.

21 Arrearage Reduction Program pursuant to Section 18 of this Act
22 shall be entitled to net those amounts necessary to fund and
23 recover the costs of such Program as authorized by that Section
24 that is no more than the incremental change in such Energy

SB3733 - 1349 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (k) The charges imposed by this Section shall only apply to
2 customers of municipal electric or gas utilities and electric
3 or gas cooperatives if the municipal electric or gas utility or
4 electric or gas cooperative makes an affirmative decision to

10 include, but not be limited to, the following:
11     (1) Planning. The Department on Aging and the Departments
12 of Public Health and Healthcare and Family Services shall
13 develop a plan to restructure the State's service delivery

15 September 30, 2010. The plan shall include a schedule for the
16 implementation of the initiatives outlined in this Act and all
17 other initiatives identified by the participating agencies to
18 fulfill the purposes of this Act and shall protect the rights
19 of all older Illinoisans to services based on their health
20 circumstances and functioning level, regardless of whether
21 they receive their care in their homes, in a community setting,
22 or in a residential facility. Financing for older adult
23 services shall be based on the principle that "money follows
24 the individual" taking into account individual preference, but
25 shall not jeopardize the health, safety, or level of care of

 

 

SB3733 - 1371 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 nursing home residents. The plan shall also identify potential
2 impediments to delivery system restructuring and include any
3 known regulatory or statutory barriers.
4     (2) Comprehensive case management. The Department shall
5 implement a statewide system of holistic comprehensive case
6 management. The system shall include the identification and

8 to be used statewide to determine the level of functional,
9 cognitive, socialization, and financial needs of older adults.
10 This tool shall be supported by an electronic intake,
11 assessment, and care planning system linked to a central
12 location. "Comprehensive case management" includes services
13 and coordination such as (i) comprehensive assessment of the
14 older adult (including the physical, functional, cognitive,
15 psycho-social, and social needs of the individual); (ii)
16 development and implementation of a service plan with the older
17 adult to mobilize the formal and family resources and services
18 identified in the assessment to meet the needs of the older
19 adult, including coordination of the resources and services
20 with any other plans that exist for various formal services,
21 such as hospital discharge plans, and with the information and
22 assistance services; (iii) coordination and monitoring of
23 formal and family service delivery, including coordination and
24 monitoring to ensure that services specified in the plan are
25 being provided; (iv) periodic reassessment and revision of the
26 status of the older adult with the older adult or, if

 

 

SB3733 - 1372 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 necessary, the older adult's designated representative; and
2 (v) in accordance with the wishes of the older adult, advocacy
3 on behalf of the older adult for needed services or resources.
4     (3) Coordinated point of entry. The Department shall
5 implement and publicize a statewide coordinated point of entry
6 using a uniform name, identity, logo, and toll-free number.
7     (4) Public web site. The Department shall develop a public
8 web site that provides links to available services, resources,
9 and reference materials concerning caregiving, diseases, and
10 best practices for use by professionals, older adults, and
11 family caregivers.
12     (5) Expansion of older adult services. The Department shall
13 expand older adult services that promote independence and
14 permit older adults to remain in their own homes and
15 communities.
16     (6) Consumer-directed home and community-based services.
17 The Department shall expand the range of service options
18 available to permit older adults to exercise maximum choice and
19 control over their care.
20     (7) Comprehensive delivery system. The Department shall
21 expand opportunities for older adults to receive services in
22 systems that integrate acute and chronic care.
23     (8) Enhanced transition and follow-up services. The
24 Department shall implement a program of transition from one
25 residential setting to another and follow-up services,
26 regardless of residential setting, pursuant to rules with

 

 

SB3733 - 1373 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 respect to (i) resident eligibility, (ii) assessment of the
2 resident's health, cognitive, social, and financial needs,
3 (iii) development of transition plans, and (iv) the level of
4 services that must be available before transitioning a resident
5 from one setting to another.
6     (9) Family caregiver support. The Department shall develop
7 strategies for public and private financing of services that
8 supplement and support family caregivers.
9     (10) Quality standards and quality improvement. The
10 Department shall establish a core set of uniform quality
11 standards for all providers that focus on outcomes and take
12 into consideration consumer choice and satisfaction, and the
13 Department shall require each provider to implement a
14 continuous quality improvement process to address consumer
15 issues. The continuous quality improvement process must
16 benchmark performance, be person-centered and data-driven, and
17 focus on consumer satisfaction.
18     (11) Workforce. The Department shall develop strategies to
19 attract and retain a qualified and stable worker pool, provide
20 living wages and benefits, and create a work environment that
21 is conducive to long-term employment and career development.
22 Resources such as grants, education, and promotion of career
23 opportunities may be used.
24     (12) Coordination of services. The Department shall
25 identify methods to better coordinate service networks to
26 maximize resources and minimize duplication of services and

 

 

SB3733 - 1374 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 ease of application.
2     (13) Barriers to services. The Department shall identify
3 barriers to the provision, availability, and accessibility of
4 services and shall implement a plan to address those barriers.
5 The plan shall: (i) identify barriers, including but not
6 limited to, statutory and regulatory complexity, reimbursement
7 issues, payment issues, and labor force issues; (ii) recommend
8 changes to State or federal laws or administrative rules or
9 regulations; (iii) recommend application for federal waivers
10 to improve efficiency and reduce cost and paperwork; (iv)
11 develop innovative service delivery models; and (v) recommend
12 application for federal or private service grants.

16 to be considered by all Departments in establishing payments.
17 To the extent possible, multiple cost reporting mandates shall
18 not be imposed.
19     (15) Medicaid nursing home cost containment and Medicare
20 utilization. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
21 (formerly Department of Public Aid), in collaboration with the
22 Department on Aging and the Department of Public Health and in
23 consultation with the Advisory Committee, shall propose a plan
24 to contain Medicaid nursing home costs and maximize Medicare
25 utilization. The plan must not impair the ability of an older
26 adult to choose among available services. The plan shall

 

 

SB3733 - 1375 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 include, but not be limited to, (i) techniques to maximize the
2 use of the most cost-effective services without sacrificing
3 quality and (ii) methods to identify and serve older adults in
4 need of minimal services to remain independent, but who are
5 likely to develop a need for more extensive services in the
6 absence of those minimal services.
7     (16) Bed reduction. The Department of Public Health shall
8 implement a nursing home conversion program to reduce the
9 number of Medicaid-certified nursing home beds in areas with
10 excess beds. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
11 shall investigate changes to the Medicaid nursing facility
12 reimbursement system in order to reduce beds. Such changes may
13 include, but are not limited to, incentive payments that will
14 enable facilities to adjust to the restructuring and expansion
15 of services required by the Older Adult Services Act, including
16 adjustments for the voluntary closure or layaway of nursing
17 home beds certified under Title XIX of the federal Social
18 Security Act. Any savings shall be reallocated to fund
19 home-based or community-based older adult services pursuant to
20 Section 20.
21     (17) Financing. The Department shall investigate and
22 evaluate financing options for older adult services and shall
23 make recommendations in the report required by Section 15
24 concerning the feasibility of these financing arrangements.
25 These arrangements shall include, but are not limited to:
26         (A) private long-term care insurance coverage for

 

 

SB3733 - 1376 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

10     planning prevention; and
11         (G) methods to supplement and support family and
12     community caregiving.

16 services delivery system, and shall provide funding for
17 innovative service delivery models and system change and
18 integration initiatives pursuant to subsection (g) of Section
19 20.
20     (19) Bed need methodology update. For the purposes of

25 methodology to make them consistent with modern older adult
26 services.

 

 

SB3733 - 1377 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

7 investigate innovative and promising practices operating as
8 demonstration or pilot projects in Illinois and in other
9 states. The Department on Aging shall provide the Older Adult

12         (5) any other relevant factors identified by the
13     Department, including standards of need.

22     nursing home services in any community below the level of
23     need, as defined by the Department by rule; or
24         (4) cause undue hardship on any person who requires
25     nursing home care.

8     relationship:
9             (i) An explanation of the implications of,
10         alternatives to, legal consequences of, and the rights
11         and responsibilities that arise from signing an

15         visitation, custody, retroactive support, health
16         insurance coverage, and payment of birth expenses.

7     explanation of the implications of, alternatives to, legal
8     consequences of, and the rights and responsibilities that

10     necessary, a denial of paternity. The oral explanation may
11     be given in person or through the use of video or audio
12     equipment.
13     (6) The institution, State or local registrar, or county
14 clerk shall provide an opportunity for the child's father or
15 mother to sign a rescission of parentage. The signing and
16 witnessing of the rescission of parentage voids the
17 acknowledgment of parentage and nullifies the presumption of
18 paternity if executed and filed with the Department of
19 Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Illinois Department
20 of Public Aid) within the time frame contained in Section 5 of
21 the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984. The Department of
22 Healthcare and Family Services shall furnish the rescission of

5 challenging party. Pending outcome of a challenge to the
6 acknowledgment of paternity, the legal responsibilities of the
7 signatories shall remain in full force and effect, except upon
8 order of the court upon a showing of good cause.
9     (8) When the process for acknowledgment of parentage as
10 provided for under subsection (5) establishes the paternity of
11 a child whose certificate of birth is on file in another state,
12 the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall forward
13 a copy of the acknowledgment of parentage, the denial of
14 paternity, if applicable, and the rescission of parentage, if
15 applicable, to the birth record agency of the state where the
16 child's certificate of birth is on file.
17     (9) In the event the parent-child relationship has been
18 established in accordance with subdivision (a)(1) of Section 6
19 of the Parentage Act of 1984, the names of the biological
20 mother and biological father so established shall be entered on
21 the child's birth certificate, and the names of the surrogate
22 mother and surrogate mother's husband, if any, shall not be on
23 the birth certificate.

24         (1) the duration and gravity of the violation;
25         (2) the presence or absence of due diligence on the
26     part of the respondent in attempting to comply with

 

 

SB3733 - 1429 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     requirements of this Act and regulations thereunder or to
2     secure relief therefrom as provided by this Act;
3         (3) any economic benefits accrued by the respondent
4     because of delay in compliance with requirements, in which
5     case the economic benefits shall be determined by the
6     lowest cost alternative for achieving compliance;
7         (4) the amount of monetary penalty which will serve to
8     deter further violations by the respondent and to otherwise
9     aid in enhancing voluntary compliance with this Act by the
10     respondent and other persons similarly subject to the Act;
11         (5) the number, proximity in time, and gravity of
12     previously adjudicated violations of this Act by the
13     respondent;
14         (6) whether the respondent voluntarily self-disclosed,
15     in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section, the
16     non-compliance to the Agency; and
17         (7) whether the respondent has agreed to undertake a
18     "supplemental environmental project," which means an
19     environmentally beneficial project that a respondent
20     agrees to undertake in settlement of an enforcement action
21     brought under this Act, but which the respondent is not
22     otherwise legally required to perform.
23     In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be imposed
24 under subsection (a) or paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (5) of
25 subsection (b) of this Section, the Board shall ensure, in all
26 cases, that the penalty is at least as great as the economic

 

 

SB3733 - 1430 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 benefits, if any, accrued by the respondent as a result of the
2 violation, unless the Board finds that imposition of such
3 penalty would result in an arbitrary or unreasonable financial
4 hardship. However, such civil penalty may be off-set in whole
5 or in part pursuant to a supplemental environmental project
6 agreed to by the complainant and the respondent.
7     (i) A person who voluntarily self-discloses non-compliance
8 to the Agency, of which the Agency had been unaware, is
9 entitled to a 100% reduction in the portion of the penalty that
10 is not based on the economic benefit of non-compliance if the
11 person can establish the following:
12         (1) that the non-compliance was discovered through an
13     environmental audit or a compliance management system
14     documented by the regulated entity as reflecting the
15     regulated entity's due diligence in preventing, detecting,
16     and correcting violations;

25             (iii) the filing of a complaint by a citizen, the
26         Illinois Attorney General, or the State's Attorney of

 

 

SB3733 - 1431 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         the county in which the violation occurred;
2             (iv) the reporting of the non-compliance by an
3         employee of the person without that person's
4         knowledge; or
5             (v) imminent discovery of the non-compliance by
6         the Agency;
7         (4) that the non-compliance is being corrected and any
8     environmental harm is being remediated in a timely fashion;
9         (5) that the person agrees to prevent a recurrence of
10     the non-compliance;
11         (6) that no related non-compliance events have
12     occurred in the past 3 years at the same facility or in the
13     past 5 years as part of a pattern at multiple facilities
14     owned or operated by the person;
15         (7) that the non-compliance did not result in serious
16     actual harm or present an imminent and substantial
17     endangerment to human health or the environment or violate
18     the specific terms of any judicial or administrative order
19     or consent agreement;
20         (8) that the person cooperates as reasonably requested
21     by the Agency after the disclosure; and
22         (9) that the non-compliance was identified voluntarily
23     and not through a monitoring, sampling, or auditing
24     procedure that is required by statute, rule, permit,
25     judicial or administrative order, or consent agreement.
26     If a person can establish all of the elements under this

 

 

SB3733 - 1432 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 subsection except the element set forth in paragraph (1) of
2 this subsection, the person is entitled to a 75% reduction in
3 the portion of the penalty that is not based upon the economic
4 benefit of non-compliance.
5     (j) In addition to an other remedy or penalty that may
6 apply, whether civil or criminal, any person who violates
7 Section 22.52 of this Act shall be liable for an additional
8 civil penalty of up to 3 times the gross amount of any
9 pecuniary gain resulting from the violation.

21     Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations
22 of traffic regulations concerning the standing, parking, or
23 condition of vehicles and automated traffic law violations.
24     (a) Any municipality may provide by ordinance for a system
25 of administrative adjudication of vehicular standing and

 

 

SB3733 - 1495 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 parking violations and vehicle compliance violations as
2 defined in this subsection and automated traffic law violations
3 as defined in Section 11-208.6 or 11-1201.1. The administrative
4 system shall have as its purpose the fair and efficient
5 enforcement of municipal regulations through the
6 administrative adjudication of automated traffic law
7 violations and violations of municipal ordinances regulating
8 the standing and parking of vehicles, the condition and use of
9 vehicle equipment, and the display of municipal wheel tax
10 licenses within the municipality's borders. The administrative
11 system shall only have authority to adjudicate civil offenses
12 carrying fines not in excess of $500 or requiring the
13 completion of a traffic education program, or both, that occur
14 after the effective date of the ordinance adopting such a
15 system under this Section. For purposes of this Section,
16 "compliance violation" means a violation of a municipal
17 regulation governing the condition or use of equipment on a
18 vehicle or governing the display of a municipal wheel tax
19 license.
20     (b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative
21 adjudication under this Section shall provide for:
22         (1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to
23     adopt, distribute and process parking, compliance, and
24     automated traffic law violation notices and other notices
25     required by this Section, collect money paid as fines and

3     compliance administrator also may make a certified report
4     to the Secretary of State under Section 6-306.5.
5         (2) A parking, standing, compliance, or automated
6     traffic law violation notice that shall specify the date,
7     time, and place of violation of a parking, standing,
8     compliance, or automated traffic law regulation; the
9     particular regulation violated; any requirement to

11     penalty that may be assessed for late payment or failure to
12     complete a required traffic education program, or both,
13     when so provided by ordinance; the vehicle make and state
14     registration number; and the identification number of the
15     person issuing the notice. With regard to automated traffic
16     law violations, vehicle make shall be specified on the
17     automated traffic law violation notice if the make is
18     available and readily discernible. With regard to
19     municipalities with a population of 1 million or more, it
20     shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking violation if
21     the state registration number or vehicle make specified is
22     incorrect. The violation notice shall state that the
23     completion of any required traffic education program, the
24     payment of any indicated fine, and the payment of any
25     applicable penalty for late payment or failure to complete

3     hearing in which the violation may be contested on its
4     merits. The violation notice shall specify the time and
5     manner in which a hearing may be had.
6         (3) Service of the parking, standing, or compliance
7     violation notice by affixing the original or a facsimile of
8     the notice to an unlawfully parked vehicle or by handing

11     notice by mail to the address of the registered owner of
12     the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State
13     within 30 days after the Secretary of State notifies the
14     municipality or county of the identity of the owner of the
15     vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the
16     violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and
17     serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices
18     shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered on
19     the violation notice by signing his or her name to the
20     notice at the time of service or in the case of a notice
21     produced by a computerized device, by signing a single
22     certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance
23     administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices
24     produced by the device while it was under his or her
25     control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation,

5     determines that the vehicle entered the intersection as
6     part of a funeral procession or in order to yield the
7     right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation shall not
8     be issued. The original or a facsimile of the violation
9     notice or, in the case of a notice produced by a
10     computerized device, a printed record generated by the
11     device showing the facts entered on the notice, shall be
12     retained by the traffic compliance administrator, and
13     shall be a record kept in the ordinary course of business.
14     A parking, standing, compliance, or automated traffic law
15     violation notice issued, signed and served in accordance
16     with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the computer
17     generated record shall be prima facie correct and shall be
18     prima facie evidence of the correctness of the facts shown
19     on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer generated
20     record shall be admissible in any subsequent
21     administrative or legal proceedings.
22         (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered
23     owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,
24     compliance, or automated traffic law violation notice in

2     Section 11-1306 of this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited
3     in the violation notice likewise shall be provided an
4     opportunity for a hearing of the same kind afforded the
5     registered owner. The hearings shall be recorded, and the
6     person conducting the hearing on behalf of the traffic
7     compliance administrator shall be empowered to administer
8     oaths and to secure by subpoena both the attendance and
9     testimony of witnesses and the production of relevant books
10     and papers. Persons appearing at a hearing under this
11     Section may be represented by counsel at their expense. The
12     ordinance may also provide for internal administrative
13     review following the decision of the hearing officer.
14         (5) Service of additional notices, sent by first class
15     United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the
16     registered owner of the cited vehicle as recorded with the
17     Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is
18     returned as undeliverable, to the last known address
19     recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,
20     or, under Section 11-1306 of this Code, to the lessee of
21     the cited vehicle at the last address known to the lessor
22     of the cited vehicle at the time of lease or, if any notice

9 standing, compliance, or automated traffic law violation,
10 which shall be accompanied by a certification that recites
11 facts sufficient to show that the final determination of

8 posted pursuant to this Section or the intended accessible
9 parking place does not comply with the technical requirements
10 of Section 11-301, Department regulations, or local ordinance
11 if a reasonable person would be made aware by the sign or
12 notice on or near the parking place that the place is reserved
13 for a person with disabilities.

15 of subsection (a-1) a first time shall be fined $500. Any
16 person found guilty of violating subsection (a-1) a second time

9     fitness of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care
10     for the minor without endangering the minor's health or
11     safety, and the court enters an order that such parent,

21     guardian or legal custodian whose acts or omissions or both
22     have been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of Section

14         (c) When the court awards guardianship to the
15     Department of Children and Family Services, the court shall

22 supervision under Section 2-24 and may include an order of
23 protection under Section 2-25.
24     Unless the order of disposition expressly so provides, it
25 does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
26 but is subject to modification, not inconsistent with Section

13 the plan are not reasonably calculated to facilitate
14 achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall put in
15 writing the factual basis supporting the determination and
16 enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court also
17 shall enter an order for the Department to develop and
18 implement a new service plan or to implement changes to the
19 current service plan consistent with the court's findings. The
20 new service plan shall be filed with the court and served on

3 court may order any minor adjudicated neglected with respect to
4 his or her own injurious behavior to make restitution, in
5 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
6 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
7 that the "presentence hearing" referred to therein shall be the
8 dispositional hearing for purposes of this Section. The parent,
9 guardian or legal custodian of the minor may pay some or all of
10 such restitution on the minor's behalf.
11     (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is committed
12 or placed in accordance with Section 2-27 shall provide for the
13 parents or guardian of the estate of such minor to pay to the
14 legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
15 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
16 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. Such
17 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
18 Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
19     (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor to
20 attend school or participate in a program of training, the
21 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
22 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
23 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
24     (7) The court may terminate the parental rights of a parent
25 at the initial dispositional hearing if all of the conditions
26 in subsection (5) of Section 2-21 are met.

1         to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
2         independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
3         exists. An independent basis exists when the
4         allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
5         dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
6         or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
7         adjudication of delinquency;
8             (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
9         30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
10         or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
11         order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
12         provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
13         detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
14         years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
15         may be extended by further order of the court for a
16         minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
17         Children and Family Services if the court finds that
18         the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
19         shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
20         detention for time spent in detention under Sections
21         5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
22         result of the offense for which the sentencing order
23         was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
24         order of detention entered under a violation of
25         probation or violation of conditional discharge under
26         Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in

 

 

SB3733 - 1555 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         detention before the filing of the petition alleging
2         the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
3         for time spent in detention before the filing of a
4         violation of probation or conditional discharge
5         alleging the same or related act or acts;
6             (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
7         in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
8         of Minors Act;
9             (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
10         or driving privileges suspended for such time as
11         determined by the court but only until he or she
12         attains 18 years of age;
13             (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
14         and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
15         Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
16         incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
17         of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
18         adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
19         upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
20         notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law;
21             (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
22         procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a
23         street gang removed from his or her body; or
24             (x) placed in electronic home detention under Part
25         7A of this Article.
26         (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the

 

 

SB3733 - 1556 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
2     minor is 13 years of age or older, provided that the
3     commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice shall be
4     made only if a term of incarceration is permitted by law
5     for adults found guilty of the offense for which the minor
6     was adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor
7     is in custody before being released upon the request of a
8     parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be considered as
9     time spent in detention.
10         (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
11     which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
12     Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
13     Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the
14     court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
15     the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
16     a substance abuse program approved by the Department of
17     Human Services.
18     (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
19 Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
20 supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
21 protection under Section 5-730.
22     (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
23 does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
24 but is subject to modification until final closing and
25 discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
26     (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order

 

 

SB3733 - 1557 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
2 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
3 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
4 that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
5 shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
6 The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
7 ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
8 the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
9 Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
10 victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
11 Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
12 Parental Responsibility Law.
13     (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
14 placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
15 parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the
16 legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
17 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
18 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
19 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
20 Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
21     (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
22 attend school or participate in a program of training, the
23 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
24 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
25 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding
26 any other provision of this Act, in instances in which

 

 

SB3733 - 1558 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 educational services are to be provided to a minor in a
2 residential facility where the minor has been placed by the
3 court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational
4 services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
5 School Code.
6     (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
7 Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
8 of that period for which an adult could be committed for the
9 same act.
10     (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
11 violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall
12 be ordered to perform community service for not less than 30
13 and not more than 120 hours, if community service is available
14 in the jurisdiction. The community service shall include, but
15 need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of the damage
16 that was caused by the violation or similar damage to property
17 located in the municipality or county in which the violation
18 occurred. The order may be in addition to any other order
19 authorized by this Section.
20     (8.5) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
21 violation of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care
22 for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of Section
23 21-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall be ordered to undergo
24 medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by a psychiatrist or
25 psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
26 The order may be in addition to any other order authorized by

 

 

SB3733 - 1559 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 this Section.
2     (9) In addition to any other sentencing order, the court
3 shall order any minor found to be guilty for an act which would
4 constitute, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child,
5 aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault,
6 aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if
7 committed by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine
8 whether the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
9 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
10 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
11 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
12 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
13 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
14 as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
15 otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
16 kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
17 the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
18 envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
19 order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
20 in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
21 public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
22 whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
23 shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
24 with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
25 also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
26 victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's

 

 

SB3733 - 1560 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's
2 parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for
3 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
4 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
5 testing and counseling at the Department of Public Health
6 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
7 are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
8 shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
9 the minor.
10     (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
11 shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
12 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
13 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
14 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
15 allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
16 subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
17 a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
18 of 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the
19 wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines the question
20 in the affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to
21 the Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the
22 minor to perform community service for not less than 30 hours
23 nor more than 120 hours, provided that community service is
24 available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
25 county board of the county where the offense was committed. The
26 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,

 

 

SB3733 - 1561 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
2 Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar damage
3 to property located in the municipality or county in which the
4 violation occurred. When possible and reasonable, the
5 community service shall be performed in the minor's
6 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
7 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
8 the minor in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
9 For the purposes of this Section, "organized gang" has the
10 meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
11 Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
12     (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed
13 in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
14 as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
15 the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
16 driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
17 Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
18 which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
19 time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
20 license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
21 not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
22 18th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit
23 at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that
24 the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until
25 his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence
26 determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license

 

 

SB3733 - 1562 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 at the time of the determination, the court may direct the
2 Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving
3 permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the
4 same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the
5 Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that
6 the JDP be effective immediately.
7     (12) If a minor is found to be guilty of a violation of
8 subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use
9 by Minors Act, the court may, in its discretion, and upon
10 recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and
11 his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a smoker's
12 education or youth diversion program as defined in that Act if
13 that program is available in the jurisdiction where the
14 offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or youth
15 diversion program shall be time-credited against any community
16 service time imposed for any first violation of subsection
17 (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any other
18 penalty that the court may impose for a violation of subsection
19 (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the
20 State's Attorney, may in its discretion require the offender to
21 remit a fee for his or her attendance at a smoker's education
22 or youth diversion program.
23     For purposes of this Section, "smoker's education program"
24 or "youth diversion program" includes, but is not limited to, a
25 seminar designed to educate a person on the physical and
26 psychological effects of smoking tobacco products and the

 

 

SB3733 - 1563 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 health consequences of smoking tobacco products that can be
2 conducted with a locality's youth diversion program.
3     In addition to any other penalty that the court may impose
4 under this subsection (12):
5         (a) If a minor violates subsection (a-7) of Section 1
6     of the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors Act, the court
7     may impose a sentence of 15 hours of community service or a
8     fine of $25 for a first violation.
9         (b) A second violation by a minor of subsection (a-7)
10     of Section 1 of that Act that occurs within 12 months after
11     the first violation is punishable by a fine of $50 and 25
12     hours of community service.
13         (c) A third or subsequent violation by a minor of
14     subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act that occurs
15     within 12 months after the first violation is punishable by
16     a $100 fine and 30 hours of community service.
17         (d) Any second or subsequent violation not within the
18     12-month time period after the first violation is
19     punishable as provided for a first violation.

18     Sec. 9-1.2. Intentional Homicide of an Unborn Child.
19     (a) A person commits the offense of intentional homicide of

21 an unborn child, he without lawful justification:
22         (1) either intended to cause the death of or do great
23     bodily harm to the pregnant woman or her unborn child or

11     (720 ILCS 5/10-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
12     Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
13     (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
14 the following meanings:
15         (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged
16     violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or severely or

20     objects.
21         (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons

23     possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is
24     presumed that, when the parties have never been married to

SB3733 - 1568 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an
2     adjudication of paternity has been completed and the father
3     has been assigned support obligations or visitation
4     rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of
5     this Section, be considered a valid court order granting
6     custody to the mother.
7         (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable
8     belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who
9     is not his wife.
10     (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he
11 or she does any one of the following:
12         (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid court

17     the person from concealing or detaining the child or
18     removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
19         (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the
20     child without the consent of the mother or lawful custodian
21     of the child if the person is a putative father and either:
22     (A) the paternity of the child has not been legally
23     established or (B) the paternity of the child has been
24     legally established but no orders relating to custody have
25     been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by
26     paragraph (3) of subsection (a), however, a mother commits

 

 

SB3733 - 1569 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
2     a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of,
3     from an unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing
4     care and custody of the child in her absence.
5         (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a

18     15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
19     whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to
20     contact the child, or to arrange reasonable visitation or
21     contact with the child. It is not a violation of this
22     Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take the
23     child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic
24     violence program.
25         (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of
26     the child are or have been married and there has been no

 

 

SB3733 - 1570 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

SB3733 - 1583 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 injunction, or prohibition or any other action in connection
2 with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this
3 Section is sought, the circuit court presiding over the trial
4 of the person or persons charged with involuntary servitude,

8 persons so charged have committed the offense of involuntary
9 servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or

11 the property or interest is subject to forfeiture under this
12 Section. In order to make that determination, prior to entering

24 probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing of
25 an information charging the offense of involuntary servitude,
26 involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in

 

 

SB3733 - 1584 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

2 indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of involuntary
3 servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or
4 trafficking in persons for forced labor or services as
5 sufficient evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i)
6 of this paragraph. Upon a finding, the circuit court shall
7 enter the restraining order, injunction, or prohibition, or
8 shall take such other action in connection with any such
9 property or other interest subject to forfeiture, as is
10 necessary to ensure that the property is not removed from the
11 jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed, or otherwise
12 disposed of by the owner of that property or interest prior to
13 a forfeiture hearing under this Section. The Attorney General
14 or State's Attorney shall file a certified copy of the
15 restraining order, injunction, or other prohibition with the
16 recorder or registrar of titles of each county where any such
17 property of the defendant may be located. No such injunction,
18 restraining order, or other prohibition shall affect the rights
19 of any bona fide purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or
20 other lien holder arising prior to the date of that filing. At
21 any time, upon verified petition by the defendant or an
22 innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder
23 who neither had knowledge of, nor consented to, the illegal act
24 or omission, the court may conduct a hearing to release all or
25 portions of any such property or interest that the court
26 previously determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to

 

 

SB3733 - 1585 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 any restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other
2 action. The court may release that property to the defendant or
3 innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder
4 who neither had knowledge of nor consented to the illegal act
5 or omission for good cause shown and within the sound
6 discretion of the court.
7     Upon conviction of a person of involuntary servitude,
8 involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in
9 persons for forced labor or services, the court shall authorize
10 the Attorney General to seize all property or other interest
11 declared forfeited under this Section upon terms and conditions
12 the court deems proper.
13     All moneys forfeited and the sale proceeds of all other
14 property forfeited and seized under this Section shall be
15 distributed as follows:
16         (1) one-half shall be divided equally between all State
17     agencies and units of local government whose officers or
18     employees conducted the investigation that resulted in the
19     forfeiture; and
20         (2) one-half shall be deposited into the Violent Crime
21     Victims Assistance Fund and targeted to services for
22     victims of the offenses of involuntary servitude,
23     involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in
24     persons for forced labor or services.

1     (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
2         (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
3             (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective
4         January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the
5         child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1 of the
6         Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained
7         other provisions.
8             (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled
9         "AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A)
10         Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended the
11         Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled
12         GANGS and amended various provisions of the Criminal
13         Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of Corrections. (C)
14         Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended
15         various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D)
16         Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and amended the
17         Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
18         Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS
19         and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Code of
20         Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35 amended the
21         Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and
22         Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G)
23         Article 40 amended the Criminal Code of 1961 to
24         increase the penalty for compelling organization
25         membership of persons. (H) Article 45 created the
26         Secure Residential Youth Care Facility Licensing Act

 

 

SB3733 - 1607 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court
2         Act of 1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the
3         Private Correctional Facility Moratorium Act. (I)
4         Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
5         Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile
6         Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code of 1961, the
7         Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
8         Corrections.
9             (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
10         Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
11         ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
12         subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
13         IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
14         entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
15         was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to
16         appeal.
17             (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
18         people of this State and the validity of future
19         prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
20         the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
21         (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
22     prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
23     for child pornography that may result from challenges to
24     the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
25     re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that
26     was included in Public Act 88-680.

 

 

SB3733 - 1608 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
2     11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
3     amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
4     question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
5     is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
6     amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
7     amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
8     text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
9     this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
10     was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
11         (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
12     Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to
13     child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88-680 is
14     not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
15     Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any
16     legal argument concerning whether those provisions were
17     substantially re-enacted by other Public Acts.

10     (e) Duty to enforce this Article.
11         (1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police,
12     and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all
13     provisions of this Article, except those specifically
14     delegated, and to cooperate with all agencies charged with

1     institute legal proceedings as authorized under this
2     Article.
3     (f) Protective orders.
4         (1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter
5     a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of
6     a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action
7     to preserve the availability of property described in
8     subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article:
9             (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information,
10         or complaint charging a violation of this Article for
11         which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and
12         alleging that the property with respect to which the
13         order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under
14         this Article; or
15             (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment,
16         information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
17         appearing to have an interest in the property and
18         opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
19                 (i) there is probable cause to believe that the
20             State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
21             that failure to enter the order will result in the
22             property being destroyed, removed from the
23             jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
24             unavailable for forfeiture; and
25                 (ii) the need to preserve the availability of
26             the property through the entry of the requested

 

 

SB3733 - 1713 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

3             Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant
4         to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more
5         than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
6         cause shown or unless an indictment, information,
7         complaint, or administrative notice has been filed.
8         (2) A temporary restraining order under this

10     without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an
11     indictment, information, complaint, or administrative
12     notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property,
13     if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to
14     believe that the property with respect to which the order
15     is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section
16     and that provision of notice will jeopardize the
17     availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a
18     temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after
19     the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good
20     cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
21     consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing
22     requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph
23     shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to
24     the expiration of the temporary order.
25         (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing
26     held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and

 

 

SB3733 - 1714 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     information that would be inadmissible under the Illinois
2     rules of evidence.
3         (4) Order to repatriate and deposit.
4             (A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter
5         a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the
6         court may order a defendant to repatriate any property
7         that may be seized and forfeited and to deposit that
8         property pending trial with the Illinois State Police
9         or another law enforcement agency designated by the
10         Illinois State Police.
11             (B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an
12         order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a
13         civil or criminal contempt of court.
14     (g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance
15 of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in
16 subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search
17 warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause
18 to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to
19 forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the
20 seizure of such property.
21     (h) Forfeiture.
22         (1) The following are subject to forfeiture:
23             (A) any property, real or personal, constituting,

26         instrument or money and is not needed for evidentiary

 

 

SB3733 - 1718 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         purposes, deposit it in an interest bearing account;
2             (E) place the property under constructive seizure
3         by posting notice of pending forfeiture on it, by
4         giving notice of pending forfeiture to its owners and
5         interest holders, or by filing notice of pending
6         forfeiture in any appropriate public record relating
7         to the property; or
8             (F) provide for another agency or custodian,
9         including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to
10         take custody of the property upon the terms and
11         conditions set by the Director.
12         (5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the
13     Director shall sell all such property unless such property
14     is required by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the
15     public, and shall distribute the proceeds of the sale,
16     together with any moneys forfeited or seized, in accordance
17     with paragraph (6). However, upon the application of the
18     seizing agency or prosecutor who was responsible for the
19     investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution which
20     lead to the forfeiture, the Director may return any item of
21     forfeited property to the seizing agency or prosecutor for
22     official use in the enforcement of laws, if the agency or
23     prosecutor can demonstrate that the item requested would be
24     useful to the agency or prosecutor in its enforcement
25     efforts. When any real property returned to the seizing
26     agency is sold by the agency or its unit of government, the

 

 

SB3733 - 1719 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     proceeds of the sale shall be delivered to the Director and
2     distributed in accordance with paragraph (6).
3         (6) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other
4     property forfeited and seized under this Article shall be
5     distributed as follows:
6             (A) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan
7         enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State
8         law enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or
9         participated in the investigation resulting in the
10         forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable
11         relationship to the degree of direct participation of
12         the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in
13         the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of
14         the property forfeited and the total law enforcement
15         effort with respect to the violation of the law upon
16         which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to
17         the agency or agencies shall be used for the
18         enforcement of laws.
19             (B)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of
20         the State's Attorney of the county in which the
21         prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was
22         instituted, deposited in a special fund in the county
23         treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney for
24         use in the enforcement of laws. In counties over
25         3,000,000 population, 25% shall be distributed to the
26         Office of the State's Attorney for use in the

 

 

SB3733 - 1720 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         enforcement of laws. If the prosecution is undertaken
2         solely by the Attorney General, the portion provided
3         hereunder shall be distributed to the Attorney General
4         for use in the enforcement of laws.
5                 (ii) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office
6             of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and
7             deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund
8             of that office to be used for additional expenses
9             incurred in the investigation, prosecution and
10             appeal of cases arising under laws. The Office of
11             the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor shall
12             not receive distribution from cases brought in
13             counties with over 3,000,000 population.
14             (C) 10% shall be retained by the Department of
15         State Police for expenses related to the
16         administration and sale of seized and forfeited
17         property.
18     (i) Notice to owner or interest holder.
19         (1) Whenever notice of pending forfeiture or service of
20     an in rem complaint is required under the provisions of
21     this Article, such notice or service shall be given as
22     follows:
23             (A) If the owner's or interest holder's name and
24         current address are known, then by either personal

2         been arrested for the conduct giving rise to the
3         forfeiture, then the address provided to the arresting
4         agency at the time of arrest shall be deemed to be that
5         person's known address. Provided, however, if an owner
6         or interest holder's address changes prior to the
7         effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the
8         owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the
9         seizing agency of the change in address or, if the
10         owner or interest holder's address changes subsequent
11         to the effective date of the notice of pending
12         forfeiture, the owner or interest holder shall
13         promptly notify the State's Attorney of the change in
14         address; or
15             (B) If the property seized is a conveyance, to the
16         address reflected in the office of the agency or
17         official in which title or interest to the conveyance
18         is required by law to be recorded, then by mailing a
19         copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt
20         requested, to that address; or
21             (C) If the owner's or interest holder's address is
22         not known, and is not on record as provided in
23         paragraph (B), then by publication for 3 successive
24         weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the
25         county in which the seizure occurred.
26         (2) Notice served under this Article is effective upon

 

 

SB3733 - 1722 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     personal service, the last date of publication, or the
2     mailing of written notice, whichever is earlier.
3     (j) Notice to State's Attorney. The law enforcement agency
4 seizing property for forfeiture under this Article shall,
5 within 90 days after seizure, notify the State's Attorney for
6 the county, either where an act or omission giving rise to the
7 forfeiture occurred or where the property was seized, of the
8 seizure of the property and the facts and circumstances giving
9 rise to the seizure and shall provide the State's Attorney with
10 the inventory of the property and its estimated value. When the
11 property seized for forfeiture is a vehicle, the law
12 enforcement agency seizing the property shall immediately
13 notify the Secretary of State that forfeiture proceedings are
14 pending regarding such vehicle.
15     (k) Non-judicial forfeiture. If non-real property that
16 exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance,
17 or if real property is seized under the provisions of this
18 Article, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial in rem
19 forfeiture proceedings as described in subsection (l) of this
20 Section within 45 days from receipt of notice of seizure from
21 the seizing agency under subsection (j) of this Section.
22 However, if non-real property that does not exceed $20,000 in
23 value excluding the value of any conveyance is seized, the
24 following procedure shall be used:
25         (1) If, after review of the facts surrounding the
26     seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the

 

 

SB3733 - 1723 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45
2     days after the receipt of notice of seizure from the
3     seizing agency, the State's Attorney shall cause notice of
4     pending forfeiture to be given to the owner of the property
5     and all known interest holders of the property in
6     accordance with subsection (i) of this Section.
7         (2) The notice of pending forfeiture must include a

9     property, the date and place of seizure, the conduct giving
10     rise to forfeiture or the violation of law alleged, and a
11     summary of procedures and procedural rights applicable to
12     the forfeiture action.
13         (3)(A) Any person claiming an interest in property
14     which is the subject of notice under paragraph (1) of this
15     subsection (k), must, in order to preserve any rights or
16     claims to the property, within 45 days after the effective
17     date of notice as described in subsection (i) of this
18     Section, file a verified claim with the State's Attorney
19     expressing his or her interest in the property. The claim
20     must set forth:
21             (i) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on
22         the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the
23         claimant;
24             (ii) the address at which the claimant will accept
25         mail;
26             (iii) the nature and extent of the claimant's

 

 

SB3733 - 1724 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         interest in the property;
2             (iv) the date, identity of the transferor, and
3         circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the
4         interest in the property;
5             (v) the name and address of all other persons known
6         to have an interest in the property;
7             (vi) the specific provision of law relied on in
8         asserting the property is not subject to forfeiture;
9             (vii) all essential facts supporting each
10         assertion; and
11             (viii) the relief sought.
12         (B) If a claimant files the claim and deposits with the
13     State's Attorney a cost bond, in the form of a cashier's
14     check payable to the clerk of the court, in the sum of 10%
15     of the reasonable value of the property as alleged by the
16     State's Attorney or the sum of $100, whichever is greater,
17     upon condition that, in the case of forfeiture, the
18     claimant must pay all costs and expenses of forfeiture
19     proceedings, then the State's Attorney shall institute
20     judicial in rem forfeiture proceedings and deposit the cost
21     bond with the clerk of the court as described in subsection
22     (l) of this Section within 45 days after receipt of the
23     claim and cost bond. In lieu of a cost bond, a person
24     claiming interest in the seized property may file, under
25     penalty of perjury, an indigency affidavit which has been
26     approved by a circuit court judge.

 

 

SB3733 - 1725 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (C) If none of the seized property is forfeited in the
2     judicial in rem proceeding, the clerk of the court shall
3     return to the claimant, unless the court orders otherwise,
4     90% of the sum which has been deposited and shall retain as
5     costs 10% of the money deposited. If any of the seized
6     property is forfeited under the judicial forfeiture
7     proceeding, the clerk of the court shall transfer 90% of
8     the sum which has been deposited to the State's Attorney
9     prosecuting the civil forfeiture to be applied to the costs
10     of prosecution and the clerk shall retain as costs 10% of
11     the sum deposited.
12         (4) If no claim is filed or bond given within the 45
13     day period as described in paragraph (3) of this subsection
14     (k), the State's Attorney shall declare the property
15     forfeited and shall promptly notify the owner and all known
16     interest holders of the property and the Director of State
17     Police of the declaration of forfeiture and the Director
18     shall dispose of the property in accordance with law.
19     (l) Judicial in rem procedures. If property seized under
20 the provisions of this Article is non-real property that
21 exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance,
22 or is real property, or a claimant has filed a claim and a cost
23 bond under paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section, the
24 following judicial in rem procedures shall apply:
25         (1) If, after a review of the facts surrounding the
26     seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the

 

 

SB3733 - 1726 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45
2     days of the receipt of notice of seizure by the seizing
3     agency or the filing of the claim and cost bond, whichever
4     is later, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial
5     forfeiture proceedings by filing a verified complaint for
6     forfeiture and, if the claimant has filed a claim and cost
7     bond, by depositing the cost bond with the clerk of the
8     court. When authorized by law, a forfeiture must be ordered
9     by a court on an action in rem brought by a State's
10     Attorney under a verified complaint for forfeiture.
11         (2) During the probable cause portion of the judicial
12     in rem proceeding wherein the State presents its
13     case-in-chief, the court must receive and consider, among
14     other things, all relevant hearsay evidence and
15     information. The laws of evidence relating to civil actions
16     apply to all other portions of the judicial in rem
17     proceeding.
18         (3) Only an owner of or interest holder in the property
19     may file an answer asserting a claim against the property
20     in the action in rem. For purposes of this Section, the
21     owner or interest holder shall be referred to as claimant.
22     Upon motion of the State, the court shall first hold a
23     hearing, wherein any claimant must establish by a
24     preponderance of the evidence, that he or she has a lawful,
25     legitimate ownership interest in the property and that it
26     was obtained through a lawful source.

 

 

SB3733 - 1727 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (4) The answer must be signed by the owner or interest
2     holder under penalty of perjury and must set forth:
3             (A) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on
4         the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the
5         claimant;
6             (B) the address at which the claimant will accept
7         mail;
8             (C) the nature and extent of the claimant's
9         interest in the property;
10             (D) the date, identity of transferor, and
11         circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the
12         interest in the property;
13             (E) the name and address of all other persons known
14         to have an interest in the property;
15             (F) all essential facts supporting each assertion;
16         and
17             (G) the precise relief sought.
18         (5) The answer must be filed with the court within 45
19     days after service of the civil in rem complaint.
20         (6) The hearing must be held within 60 days after
21     filing of the answer unless continued for good cause.
22         (7) The State shall show the existence of probable
23     cause for forfeiture of the property. If the State shows
24     probable cause, the claimant has the burden of showing by a
25     preponderance of the evidence that the claimant's interest
26     in the property is not subject to forfeiture.

 

 

SB3733 - 1728 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1         (8) If the State does not show existence of probable
2     cause, the court shall order the interest in the property
3     returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all
4     other property forfeited to the State. If the State does
5     show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all
6     property forfeited to the State.
7         (9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is
8     precluded from later denying the essential allegations of
9     the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted
10     in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the
11     pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However,
12     evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible.
13         (10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding
14     does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article;
15     however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's
16     Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings
17     during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment
18     or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such
19     a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property
20     subject to forfeiture under this Article shall not be
21     subject to return or release by a court exercising
22     jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of
23     such property unless such return or release is consented to
24     by the State's Attorney.
25         (11) All property declared forfeited under this
26     Article vests in this State on the commission of the

 

 

SB3733 - 1729 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the
2     proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property
3     or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain
4     subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered
5     forfeited.
6         (12) A civil action under this Article must be
7     commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise
8     to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5
9     years after the forfeitable property is discovered,
10     whichever is later, excluding any time during which either
11     the property or claimant is out of the State or in
12     confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating
13     to the same conduct are in progress.
14     (m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for
15 evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting
16 judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not
17 begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence.
18     (n) Settlement of claims. Notwithstanding other provisions
19 of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized
20 property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning
21 the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as
22 are set out in writing in a settlement agreement.
23     (o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this
24 Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona
25 fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered
26 or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal

 

 

SB3733 - 1730 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was
2 paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure
3 warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and
4 where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property
5 did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under
6 this Article.
7     (p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly
8 that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally
9 construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The
10 forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be
11 considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any
12 sentence or other remedy provided by law.
13     (q) Judicial review. If property has been declared
14 forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who
15 has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within
16 30 days after the effective date of the notice of the
17 declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as
18 described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section.
19 If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the
20 procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply.
21     (r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not
22 necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in
23 this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other
24 pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under
25 this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception
26 is upon the person claiming it.

 

 

SB3733 - 1731 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (s) Review of administrative decisions. All administrative
2 findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and
3 conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article
4 are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any
5 person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the
6 decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative
7 Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending
8 final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders,
9 and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full
10 force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court
11 pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such
12 review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's
13 Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order
14 of court. However, no stay of any decision of the
15 administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved
16 by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
17 that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause,
18 the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a
19 substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that
20 granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the
21 general public.

12     (1) You may remain under your present indeterminate
13 sentence and continue to be eligible for parole; or (2) you may
14 waive your right to parole and accept the release date which
15 has been set for you. From this release date will be deducted
16 any good conduct credit you may earn.
17     If you accept the release date established by the Board,
18 you will no longer be eligible for parole.
19     Your release date from prison has been set for: (release
20 date) ........ , subject to a term of mandatory supervised
21 release as provided by law.
22     If you accumulate the maximum amount of good conduct credit
23 as allowed by law recently enacted, you can be released on:

SB3733 - 1757 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 parole hearing will be: ........ .
2     The Board has based its determination of your release date
3 on the following:

5     connection with your parole hearing, as set forth in
6     paragraph (d) of Section 3-3-4 of the Unified Code of
7     Corrections:
8         (2) the intent of the court in imposing sentence on

20     You now have 60 days in which to decide whether to remain
21 under your indeterminate sentence and continue to be eligible
22 for parole or waive your right to parole and accept the release
23 date established for you by the Board. If you do nothing within
24 60 days, you will remain under the parole system.
25     If you accept the release date, you may accumulate good
26 conduct credit at the maximum rate provided under the law

 

 

SB3733 - 1758 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 recently enacted.
2     If you feel that the release date set for you is unfair or
3 is not based on complete information required to be considered
4 by the Board, you may request that the Board reconsider the
5 date. In your request you must set forth specific reasons why
6 you feel the Board's release date is unfair and you may submit
7 relevant material in support of your request.
8     The Department of Corrections is obligated to assist you in
9 that effort, if you ask it to do so.
10     The Board will notify you within 60 days whether or not it
11 will reconsider its decision. The Board's decision with respect
12 to reconsidering your release date is final and cannot be
13 appealed to any court.
14     If the Board decides not to reconsider your case you will
15 have 60 days in which to decide whether to accept the release
16 date and waive your right to parole or to continue under the
17 parole system. If you do nothing within 60 days after you
18 receive notification of the Board's decision you will remain
19 under the parole system.

21 respect to your release date, the Board will schedule a date
22 for reconsideration as soon as practicable, but no later than
23 60 days from the date it receives your request, and give you at
24 least 30 days notice. You may submit material to the Board
25 which you believe will be helpful in deciding a proper date for
26 your release. The Department of Corrections is obligated to

5 ask to hear witnesses. The Board will base its determination on
6 the same data on which it made its earlier determination, plus
7 any new information which may be available to it.
8     When the Board has made its decision you will be informed
9 of the release date. In no event will it be longer than the
10 release date originally determined. From this date you may
11 continue to accumulate good conduct credits at the maximum
12 rate. You will not be able to appeal the Board's decision to a
13 court.
14     Following the Board's reconsideration and upon being
15 notified of your release date you will have 60 days in which to
16 decide whether to accept the release date and waive your right
17 to parole or to continue under the parole system. If you do
18 nothing within 60 days after notification of the Board's
19 decision you will remain under the parole system."

SB3733 - 1760 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 circumstances the Board has set my release date. I know that I
2 will be released on that date and will be released earlier if I
3 accumulate good conduct credit. I know that the date set by the
4 Board is final, and can't be appealed to a court.
5     Fully aware of all the implications, I expressly and
6 knowingly waive my right to seek parole and accept the release
7 date as established by the Prisoner Review Board."

14     Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
15 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly
16 finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
17 system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
18 by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
19 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
20 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
21 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
22 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
23 supervision.
24     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
25 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of

 

 

SB3733 - 1818 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

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

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

20 collected per month may be used to provide services to crime
21 victims and their families.
22     This amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly deletes
23 the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was
24 imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to
25 control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that
26 retains or incorporates that fee increase.

11 probation fee guide determining an offender's ability to pay,
12 under guidelines developed by the Administrative Office of the
13 Illinois Courts; and (2) the circuit court has authorized, by

4 court. That same Illinois court, however, may order that the
5 Illinois sentence run concurrently with the sentence imposed by
6 the court of the other state or the federal court, but only if

6     serious felonies involved, but no such limitation shall

18     Section 625. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by
19 changing Section 15-1701 as follows:
 
20     (735 ILCS 5/15-1701)  (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1701)
21     Sec. 15-1701. Right to possession.
22     (a) General. The provisions of this Article shall govern
23 the right to possession of the mortgaged real estate during

 

 

SB3733 - 1881 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 foreclosure. Possession under this Article includes physical
2 possession of the mortgaged real estate to the same extent to
3 which the mortgagor, absent the foreclosure, would have been
4 entitled to physical possession. For the purposes of Part 17,
5 real estate is residential real estate only if it is
6 residential real estate at the time the foreclosure is
7 commenced.
8     (b) Pre-Judgment. Prior to the entry of a judgment of
9 foreclosure:
10         (1) In the case of residential real estate, the
11     mortgagor shall be entitled to possession of the real
12     estate except if (i) the mortgagee shall object and show
13     good cause, (ii) the mortgagee is so authorized by the
14     terms of the mortgage or other written instrument, and
15     (iii) the court is satisfied that there is a reasonable
16     probability that the mortgagee will prevail on a final
17     hearing of the cause, the court shall upon request place
18     the mortgagee in possession. If the residential real estate
19     consists of more than one dwelling unit, then for the
20     purpose of this Part residential real estate shall mean
21     only that dwelling unit or units occupied by persons
22     described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section
23     15-1219.
24         (2) In all other cases, if (i) the mortgagee is so
25     authorized by the terms of the mortgage or other written
26     instrument, and (ii) the court is satisfied that there is a

 

 

SB3733 - 1882 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     reasonable probability that the mortgagee will prevail on a
2     final hearing of the cause, the mortgagee shall upon
3     request be placed in possession of the real estate, except
4     that if the mortgagor shall object and show good cause, the
5     court shall allow the mortgagor to remain in possession.
6     (c) Judgment Through 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. After
7 the entry of a judgment of foreclosure and through the 30th day
8 after a foreclosure sale is confirmed:
9         (1) Subsection (b) of Section 15-1701 shall be
10     applicable, regardless of the provisions of the mortgage or
11     other instrument, except that after a sale pursuant to the
12     judgment the holder of the certificate of sale (or, if
13     none, the purchaser at the sale) shall have the mortgagee's
14     right to be placed in possession, with all rights and
15     duties of a mortgagee in possession under this Article.
16         (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subsection (b)
17     and paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of Section 15-1701,
18     upon request of the mortgagee, a mortgagor of residential
19     real estate shall not be allowed to remain in possession
20     between the expiration of the redemption period and through
21     the 30th day after sale confirmation unless (i) the
22     mortgagor pays to the mortgagee or such holder or
23     purchaser, whichever is applicable, monthly the lesser of
24     the interest due under the mortgage calculated at the
25     mortgage rate of interest applicable as if no default had
26     occurred or the fair rental value of the real estate, or

 

 

SB3733 - 1883 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     (ii) the mortgagor otherwise shows good cause. Any amounts
2     paid by the mortgagor pursuant to this subsection shall be
3     credited against the amounts due from the mortgagor.
4     (d) After 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. The holder of
5 the certificate of sale or deed issued pursuant to that
6 certificate or, if no certificate or deed was issued, the
7 purchaser, except to the extent the holder or purchaser may
8 consent otherwise, shall be entitled to possession of the
9 mortgaged real estate, as of the date 30 days after the order
10 confirming the sale is entered, against those parties to the
11 foreclosure whose interests the court has ordered terminated,
12 without further notice to any party, further order of the
13 court, or resort to proceedings under any other statute other
14 than this Article. This right to possession shall be limited by
15 the provisions governing entering and enforcing orders of
16 possession under subsection (g) of Section 15-1508. If the
17 holder or purchaser determines that there are occupants of the
18 mortgaged real estate who have not been made parties to the
19 foreclosure and had their interests terminated therein, the
20 holder or purchaser may bring a proceeding under subsection (h)
21 of this Section or under Article 9 of this Code to terminate
22 the rights of possession of any such occupants. The holder or
23 purchaser shall not be entitled to proceed against any such
24 occupant under Article 9 of this Code until after 30 days after
25 the order confirming the sale is entered.
26     (e) Termination of Leases. A lease of all or any part of

 

 

SB3733 - 1884 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1 the mortgaged real estate shall not be terminated automatically
2 solely by virtue of the entry into possession by (i) a
3 mortgagee or receiver prior to the entry of an order confirming
4 the sale, (ii) the holder of the certificate of sale, (iii) the
5 holder of the deed issued pursuant to that certificate, or (iv)
6 if no certificate or deed was issued, the purchaser at the
7 sale.
8     (f) Other Statutes; Instruments. The provisions of this
9 Article providing for possession of mortgaged real estate shall
10 supersede any other inconsistent statutory provisions. In
11 particular, and without limitation, whenever a receiver is
12 sought to be appointed in any action in which a foreclosure is
13 also pending, a receiver shall be appointed only in accordance
14 with this Article. Except as may be authorized by this Article,
15 no mortgage or other instrument may modify or supersede the
16 provisions of this Article.
17     (g) Certain Leases. Leases of the mortgaged real estate
18 entered into by a mortgagee in possession or a receiver and
19 approved by the court in a foreclosure shall be binding on all
20 parties, including the mortgagor after redemption, the
21 purchaser at a sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and
22 any person acquiring an interest in the mortgaged real estate
23 after entry of a judgment of foreclosure in accordance with
24 Sections 15-1402 and 15-1403.
25     (h) Proceedings Against Certain Occupants.
26         (1) The mortgagee-in-possession of the mortgaged real

 

 

SB3733 - 1885 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     estate under Section 15-1703, a receiver appointed under
2     Section 15-1704, a holder of the certificate of sale or
3     deed, or the purchaser may, at any time during the pendency
4     of the foreclosure and up to 90 days after the date of the
5     order confirming the sale, file a supplemental petition for
6     possession against a person not personally named as a party
7     to the foreclosure. The supplemental petition for
8     possession shall name each such occupant against whom
9     possession is sought and state the facts upon which the
10     claim for relief is premised.
11         (2) The petitioner shall serve upon each named occupant
12     the petition, a notice of hearing on the petition, and, if
13     any, a copy of the certificate of sale or deed. The
14     proceeding for the termination of such occupant's
15     possessory interest, including service of the notice of the
16     hearing and the petition, shall in all respects comport
17     with the requirements of Article 9 of this Code, except as
18     otherwise specified in this Section. The hearing shall be
19     no less than 21 days from the date of service of the
20     notice.
21         (3) The supplemental petition shall be heard as part of
22     the foreclosure proceeding and without the payment of
23     additional filing fees. An order for possession obtained
24     under this Section shall name each occupant whose interest
25     has been terminated, shall recite that it is only effective
26     as to the occupant so named and those holding under them,

 

 

SB3733 - 1886 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     and shall be enforceable for no more than 120 days after
2     its entry, except that the 120-day period may be extended
3     to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9-117
4     of Article 9 and except as provided in item (4) of this
5     subsection (h).
6         (4) In a case of foreclosure where the occupant is
7     current on his or her rent, or where timely written notice
8     of to whom and where the rent is to be paid has not been
9     provided to the occupant, or where the occupant has made
10     good-faith efforts to make rental payments in order to keep
11     current, any order of possession must allow the occupant to
12     retain possession of the property covered in his or her
13     rental agreement (i) for 120 days following the notice of
14     the hearing on the supplemental petition that has been
15     properly served upon the occupant, or (ii) through the
16     duration of his or her lease, whichever is shorter,
17     provided that if the duration of his or her lease is less
18     than 30 days from the date of the order, the order shall
19     allow the occupant to retain possession for 30 days from
20     the date of the order. A mortgagee in possession, receiver,
21     holder of a certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser at
22     the judicial sale, who asserts that the occupant is not
23     current in rent, shall file an affidavit to that effect in
24     the supplemental petition proceeding. If the occupant has
25     been given timely written notice of to whom and where the
26     rent is to be paid, this item (4) shall only apply if the

 

 

SB3733 - 1887 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

1     occupant continues to pay his or her rent in full during
2     the 120-day period or has made good-faith efforts to pay
3     the rent in full during that period. No
4     mortgagee-in-possession, receiver or holder of a
5     certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser who fails to file
6     a supplemental petition under this subsection during the
7     pendency of a mortgage foreclosure shall file a forcible
8     entry and detainer action against an occupant of the
9     mortgaged real estate until 90 days after a notice of
10     intent to file such action has been properly served upon
11     the occupant.
12         (5) The court records relating to a supplemental
13     petition for possession filed under this subsection (h)
14     against an occupant who is entitled to notice under item
15     (4) of this subsection (h), or relating to a forcible entry
16     and detainer action brought against an occupant who would
17     have lawful possession of the premises but for the
18     foreclosure of a mortgage on the property, shall be ordered
19     sealed and shall not be disclosed to any person, other than
20     a law enforcement officer or any other representative of a
21     governmental entity, except upon further order of the
22     court.

22     (a) In counties having a population in excess of 1,000,000

5     (b) In counties having a population of 1,000,000 or less

11 A public guardian may petition the court for the payment of
12 reasonable and appropriate fees. In counties having a
13 population of 1,000,000 or less, the public guardian shall do
14 so on not less than a yearly basis, or sooner as approved by
15 the court. Any fees or expenses charged by a public guardian
16 shall be documented through billings and maintained by the
17 guardian and supplied to the court for review. In considering
18 the reasonableness of any fee petition brought by a public
19 guardian under this Section, the court shall consider the
20 following:
21         (1) the powers and duties assigned to the public
22     guardian by the court;
23         (2) the necessity of any services provided;
24         (3) the time required, the degree of difficulty, and
25     the experience needed to complete the task;
26         (4) the needs of the ward and the costs of

2         (5) other facts and circumstances material to the best
3     interests of the ward or his or her estate.
4     (c) When the public guardian is appointed as the temporary
5 guardian of a disabled adult pursuant to an emergency petition
6 under circumstances when the court finds that the immediate
7 establishment of a temporary guardianship is necessary to
8 protect the disabled adult's health, welfare, or estate, the
9 public guardian shall be entitled to reasonable and appropriate
10 fees, as determined by the court, for the period of the
11 temporary guardianship, including fees directly associated
12 with establishing the temporary guardianship.

4 instances, the living will, declaration for mental health
5 treatment, or power of attorney for health care, as the case
6 may be, shall be given effect according to its terms. This Act
7 does apply in circumstances in which a patient has a qualifying
8 condition but the patient's condition does not fall within the
9 coverage of the living will, the declaration for mental health
10 treatment, or the power of attorney for health care.
11     Each health care facility shall maintain any advance
12 directives proffered by the patient or other authorized person,
13 including a do not resuscitate order, a living will, a
14 declaration for mental health treatment, a declaration of a
15 potential surrogate or surrogates should the person become
16 incapacitated or impaired, or a power of attorney for health
17 care, in the patient's medical records. This Act does apply to
18 patients without a qualifying condition. If a patient is an
19 adult with decisional capacity, then the right to refuse
20 medical treatment or life-sustaining treatment does not
21 require the presence of a qualifying condition.

19     instruments. No rule or regulation shall prohibit any

21     including the attachment of religiously mandated objects
22     to the front-door area of a condominium unit.

10         (1) no significant purpose of the company is the
11     production of income or the appreciation of property;
12     however, the fact that a person produces significant income

15     involving the production of income or the appreciation of
16     property; and

12 $50, a certificate of registration.
13     Upon written application of the holder, the Department

15 liability company has complied with its regulations and the
16 provisions of this Act and the applicable licensing Act. This
17 fee for the renewal of a certificate of registration shall be
18 calculated at the rate of $40 per year. The certificate of
19 registration shall be conspicuously posted upon the premises to
20 which it is applicable, and the limited liability company shall

15         (13) Fail to assign brand extensions to a wholesaler
16     who has been granted the territory to the brand from which
17     the brand extension resulted and agrees to accept the brand

SB3733 - 1940 - LRB096 19592 AMC 34984 b

5     brewer in the State.
6         (15) Coerce or attempt to coerce a transferring
7     wholesaler to sign a renewal agreement, replacement
8     agreement, or an amendment to an agreement by threatening

11     The agreement must provide in substance that the agreement
12 shall be governed by all applicable provisions of State law,
13 and that such State law is incorporated into the agreement,

17 provide this provision in substance the brewer must furnish an
18 executed Illinois addendum to the wholesaler stating that the
19 agreement shall be governed by all applicable provisions of
20 State law, and that such State law is incorporated into the
21 agreement, shall be deemed to be a part hereof, shall supersede
22 supercede any provision of the agreement in conflict with such
23 State law, and shall govern and control.
24     No brewer who, pursuant to an agreement with a wholesaler
25 which does not violate antitrust laws, has designated a sales
26 territory for which the wholesaler is exclusively responsible

2 efforts, shall enter into an agreement with any other
3 wholesaler for the purpose of establishing an additional
4 wholesaler for the brewer's brand, brands, or brand extension
5 in the territory.
6     No wholesaler who, pursuant to an agreement is granted a
