21financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common
22schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years.
 
23(A) General Provisions.

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 31 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 32 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

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

8State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
9support that should be available to provide for the basic
10education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
11forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
12a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
13the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
14district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
15available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
16district.
17    (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of
18support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the
19Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school
20year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. For the

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 36 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 37 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 38 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 39 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 41 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1    attendance of the non-year-round buildings.
2    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
3attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not
4less than 5 clock hours of school work per day under direct
5supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or
6volunteer personnel when engaging in non-teaching duties and
7supervising in those instances specified in subsection (a) of
8Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18, with pupils
9of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1 through
1012.
11    Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited
12only to the districts that pay the tuition to a recognized
13school.
14    (2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours
15of school shall be subject to the following provisions in the
16compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
17        (a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for
18    only a part of the school day may be counted on the basis
19    of 1/6 day for every class hour of instruction of 40
20    minutes or more attended pursuant to such enrollment,
21    unless a pupil is enrolled in a block-schedule format of 80
22    minutes or more of instruction, in which case the pupil may
23    be counted on the basis of the proportion of minutes of
24    school work completed each day to the minimum number of
25    minutes that school work is required to be held that day.
26        (b) (Blank).

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 42 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

10    up to a maximum of 5 days per school year, provided a
11    district conducts an in-service training program for
12    teachers in accordance with Section 10-22.39 of this Code;
13    or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may be used, in
14    which event each such day may be counted as a day required
15    for a legal school calendar pursuant to Section 10-19 of
16    this Code; (1.5) when, of the 5 days allowed under item
17    (1), a maximum of 4 days are used for parent-teacher
18    conferences, or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days are
19    used, in which case each such day may be counted as a
20    calendar day required under Section 10-19 of this Code,
21    provided that the full-day, parent-teacher conference
22    consists of (i) a minimum of 5 clock hours of
23    parent-teacher conferences, (ii) both a minimum of 2 clock
24    hours of parent-teacher conferences held in the evening

11    plan adopted under Article 2, provided that (i) such
12    sessions of 3 or more clock hours are scheduled to occur at
13    regular intervals, (ii) the remainder of the school days in
14    which such sessions occur are utilized for in-service
15    training programs or other staff development activities
16    for teachers, and (iii) a sufficient number of minutes of
17    school work under the direct supervision of teachers are
18    added to the school days between such regularly scheduled
19    sessions to accumulate not less than the number of minutes
20    by which such sessions of 3 or more clock hours fall short
21    of 5 clock hours. Any full days used for the purposes of
22    this paragraph shall not be considered for computing
23    average daily attendance. Days scheduled for in-service
24    training programs, staff development activities, or
25    parent-teacher conferences may be scheduled separately for
26    different grade levels and different attendance centers of

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 44 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1    the district.
2        (e) A session of not less than one clock hour of
3    teaching hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by
4    telephone to the classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of
5    attendance, however these pupils must receive 4 or more

20        (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only
21    1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more
22    than 1/2 day of attendance counted in any one day. However,
23    kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5
24    consecutive school days. When a pupil attends such a
25    kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, the
26    pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 45 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1    school, unless the school district obtains permission in
2    writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
3    Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of
4    attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as
5    attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of
6    attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted, except in
7    case of children who entered the kindergarten in their
8    fifth year whose educational development requires a second
9    year of kindergarten as determined under the rules and
10    regulations of the State Board of Education.
11        (i) On the days when the assessment that includes a

19    minutes of school work in excess of 5 clock hours are first
20    completed on other school days to compensate for the loss
21    of school work on the examination days.
22        (j) Pupils enrolled in a remote educational program
23    established under Section 10-29 of this Code may be counted
24    on the basis of one-fifth day of attendance for every clock
25    hour of instruction attended in the remote educational
26    program, provided that, in any month, the school district

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 46 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1    may not claim for a student enrolled in a remote
2    educational program more days of attendance than the
3    maximum number of days of attendance the district can claim

11(G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
12    (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local
13Resources required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board
14of Education shall secure from the Department of Revenue the
15value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of
16all taxable property of every school district, together with
17(i) the applicable tax rate used in extending taxes for the
18funds of the district as of September 30 of the previous year
19and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to
20property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
21Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
22    The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized
23assessed value of all taxable property of each school district
24situated entirely or partially within a county that is or was
25subject to the provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 47 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1Property Tax Code (a) an amount equal to the total amount by
2which the homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or
315-177 of the Property Tax Code for real property situated in
4that school district exceeds the total amount that would have
5been allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction
6under Section 15-176 was (i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in
7all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all
8counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount
9equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all
10additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
11Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The
12county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
13provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
14shall annually calculate and certify to the Department of
15Revenue for each school district all homestead exemption
16amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
17and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175
18of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of
19$30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the
20general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is
21determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax
22Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
23Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
24difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead
25exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section
2615-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 48 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 49 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1    valuation of the district, until such time as all
2    redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
3    Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation
4    Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the
5    Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
6    equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
7    initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
8    equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
9    used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
10    have been paid.
11        (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
12    a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
13    real property value as equalized or assessed by the
14    Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
15    by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
16    Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
17    district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
18    2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
19    through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9
20    through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
21    the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
22    of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
23    percentage rates for district type as specified in this
24    subparagraph (b).
25    (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year
26thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 50 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 51 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

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

 

 

HB0318 Engrossed- 52 -LRB099 04451 SXM 24479 b

1the 2009-2010 school year and each school year thereafter, if a
2school district has approved or does approve an increase in its
3limiting rate, pursuant to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax
4Code, affecting the Base Tax Year, the Extension Limitation
5Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district, as
6calculated by the State Board of Education, shall be equal to
7the product of the Equalized Assessed Valuation last used in
8the calculation of general State aid times an amount equal to
9one plus the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price
10Index for all Urban Consumers for all items published by the
11United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
12year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the Equalized Assessed
13Valuation of new property, annexed property, and recovered tax
14increment value and minus the Equalized Assessed Valuation of

12calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and
13the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
14Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district
15as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the
16district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in
17calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid
18allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's

6of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
7are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
8school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
9school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
10high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most

5years 2009 through 2018, an annual assessment on inpatient
6services is imposed on each hospital provider in an amount
7equal to $218.38 multiplied by the difference of the hospital's
8occupied bed days less the hospital's Medicare bed days,
9provided, however, that the amount of $218.38 shall be
10increased by a uniform percentage to generate an amount equal
11to 75% of the State share of the payments authorized under
12Section 12-5, with such increase only taking effect upon the
13date that a State share for such payments is required under
14federal law. For the period of April through June 2015, the
15amount of $218.38 used to calculate the assessment under this
16paragraph shall, by emergency rule under subsection (s) of
17Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, be
18increased by a uniform percentage to generate $20,250,000 in

20annual assessment under this paragraph.
21    For State fiscal years 2009 through 2014 and after, a

15annual assessment on outpatient services is imposed on each
16hospital provider in an amount equal to .008766 multiplied by
17the hospital's outpatient gross revenue, provided, however,
18that the amount of .008766 shall be increased by a uniform
19percentage to generate an amount equal to 25% of the State
20share of the payments authorized under Section 12-5, with such
21increase only taking effect upon the date that a State share
22for such payments is required under federal law. For the period

25multiplying the assessment amount by a fraction, the numerator
26of which is 21 days and the denominator of which is 365 days.
