Section 90-35. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Sections 15-168, 15-169, and 15-172 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/15-168)
Sec. 15-168. Homestead exemption for persons with
disabilities.
(a) Beginning with taxable year 2007, an annual homestead
exemption is granted to persons with disabilities in the amount
of $2,000, except as provided in subsection (c), to be deducted
from the property's value as equalized or assessed by the
Department of Revenue. The person with a disability shall
receive the homestead exemption upon meeting the following
requirements:
(1) The property must be occupied as the primary
residence by the person with a disability.
(2) The person with a disability must be liable for
paying the real estate taxes on the property.
(3) The person with a disability must be an owner of
record of the property or have a legal or equitable
interest in the property as evidenced by a written
instrument. In the case of a leasehold interest in
property, the lease must be for a single family residence.
A person who has a disability during the taxable year is
eligible to apply for this homestead exemption during that
taxable year. Application must be made during the application

10100HB3469sam001 - 48 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
period in effect for the county of residence. If a homestead
exemption has been granted under this Section and the person
awarded the exemption subsequently becomes a resident of a
facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the
Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the ID/DD
Community Care Act, or the MC/DD Act, then the exemption shall
continue (i) so long as the residence continues to be occupied
by the qualifying person's spouse or (ii) if the residence
remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person qualified
for the homestead exemption.
(b) For the purposes of this Section, "person with a
disability" means a person unable to engage in any substantial
gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical
or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death
or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous
period of not less than 12 months. Persons with disabilities
filing claims under this Act shall submit proof of disability
in such form and manner as the Department shall by rule and
regulation prescribe. Proof that a claimant is eligible to
receive disability benefits under the Federal Social Security
Act shall constitute proof of disability for purposes of this
Act. Issuance of an Illinois Person with a Disability
Identification Card stating that the claimant is under a Class
2 disability, as defined in Section 4A of the Illinois
Identification Card Act, shall constitute proof that the person
named thereon is a person with a disability for purposes of

10100HB3469sam001 - 49 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
this Act. A person with a disability not covered under the
Federal Social Security Act and not presenting an Illinois
Person with a Disability Identification Card stating that the
claimant is under a Class 2 disability shall be examined by a
physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician
assistant designated by the Department, and his status as a
person with a disability determined using the same standards as
used by the Social Security Administration. The costs of any
required examination shall be borne by the claimant.
(c) For land improved with (i) an apartment building owned
and operated as a cooperative or (ii) a life care facility as
defined under Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities Act that is
considered to be a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the
value of the property, as equalized or assessed by the
Department, shall be multiplied by the number of apartments or
units occupied by a person with a disability. The person with a
disability shall receive the homestead exemption upon meeting
the following requirements:
(1) The property must be occupied as the primary
residence by the person with a disability.
(2) The person with a disability must be liable by
contract with the owner or owners of record for paying the
apportioned property taxes on the property of the
cooperative or life care facility. In the case of a life
care facility, the person with a disability must be liable
for paying the apportioned property taxes under a life care

10100HB3469sam001 - 50 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
contract as defined in Section 2 of the Life Care
Facilities Act.
(3) The person with a disability must be an owner of
record of a legal or equitable interest in the cooperative
apartment building. A leasehold interest does not meet this
requirement.
If a homestead exemption is granted under this subsection, the
cooperative association or management firm shall credit the
savings resulting from the exemption to the apportioned tax
liability of the qualifying person with a disability. The chief
county assessment officer may request reasonable proof that the
association or firm has properly credited the exemption. A
person who willfully refuses to credit an exemption to the
qualified person with a disability is guilty of a Class B
misdemeanor.
(d) The chief county assessment officer shall determine the
eligibility of property to receive the homestead exemption
according to guidelines established by the Department. After a
person has received an exemption under this Section, an annual
verification of eligibility for the exemption shall be mailed
to the taxpayer.
In counties with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
chief county assessment officer shall provide to each person
granted a homestead exemption under this Section a form to
designate any other person to receive a duplicate of any notice
of delinquency in the payment of taxes assessed and levied

10100HB3469sam001 - 51 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
under this Code on the person's qualifying property. The
duplicate notice shall be in addition to the notice required to
be provided to the person receiving the exemption and shall be
given in the manner required by this Code. The person filing
the request for the duplicate notice shall pay an
administrative fee of $5 to the chief county assessment
officer. The assessment officer shall then file the executed
designation with the county collector, who shall issue the
duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A
designation may be rescinded by the person with a disability in
the manner required by the chief county assessment officer.
(d-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each
chief county assessment officer may approve this exemption for
the 2020 and 2021 taxable years year, without application, for
any property that was approved for this exemption for the 2019
taxable year, provided that:
(1) the county board has declared a local disaster as
provided in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act
related to the COVID-19 public health emergency;
(2) the owner of record of the property as of January 1
of the taxable year January 1, 2020 is the same as the
owner of record of the property as of January 1, 2019;
(3) the exemption for the 2019 taxable year has not
been determined to be an erroneous exemption as defined by
this Code; and
(4) the applicant for the 2019 taxable year has not

10100HB3469sam001 - 52 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
asked for the exemption to be removed for the 2019, or
2020, or 2021 taxable years.
(e) A taxpayer who claims an exemption under Section 15-165
or 15-169 may not claim an exemption under this Section.

United States Department of Veterans Affairs, then the
annual exemption is $5,000; and
(3) if the veteran has a service connected disability
of 70% or more, as certified by the United States
Department of Veterans Affairs, then the property is exempt
from taxation under this Code.
(b-5) If a homestead exemption is granted under this
Section and the person awarded the exemption subsequently
becomes a resident of a facility licensed under the Nursing
Home Care Act or a facility operated by the United States
Department of Veterans Affairs, then the exemption shall
continue (i) so long as the residence continues to be occupied
by the qualifying person's spouse or (ii) if the residence
remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person who
qualified for the homestead exemption.

spouse holds the legal or beneficial title to the homestead,
permanently resides thereon, and does not remarry. If the
surviving spouse sells the property, an exemption not to exceed
the amount granted from the most recent ad valorem tax roll may
be transferred to his or her new residence as long as it is
used as his or her primary residence and he or she does not
remarry.
(c-1) Beginning with taxable year 2015, nothing in this
Section shall require the veteran to have qualified for or
obtained the exemption before death if the veteran was killed
in the line of duty.

10100HB3469sam001 - 55 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
occupy the qualified residence as of January 1 of the taxable
year, the exemption granted under this Section shall be
prorated on a monthly basis. The prorated exemption shall apply
beginning with the first complete month in which the person
occupies the qualified residence.
(e-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each
chief county assessment officer may approve this exemption for
the 2020 and 2021 taxable years year, without application, for
any property that was approved for this exemption for the 2019
taxable year, provided that:
(1) the county board has declared a local disaster as
provided in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act
related to the COVID-19 public health emergency;
(2) the owner of record of the property as of January 1
of the taxable year January 1, 2020 is the same as the

assessed value in the existing base year (provided that such
equalized assessed value is not based on an assessed value that
results from a temporary irregularity in the property that

that subsequent taxable year shall become the base year until a
new base year is established under the terms of this paragraph.
For taxable year 1999 only, the Chief County Assessment Officer

property constituting the residence, then that portion of
property shall be deemed the residence for the purposes of this
Section.
"Taxable year" means the calendar year during which ad

application is made minus the base amount. In all other
counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i)
through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and

10100HB3469sam001 - 61 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
assessed value of the residence in the taxable year for which
application is made minus the base amount; and (ii) for taxable

equalized assessed value of the residence in the taxable
year for which application is made minus the base amount.
(2) For an applicant who has a household income
exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of
the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year for which application is made
minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8.
(3) For an applicant who has a household income
exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of

minus the base amount (ii) multiplied by 0.2.
When the applicant is a surviving spouse of an applicant
for a prior year for the same residence for which an exemption
under this Section has been granted, the base year and base
amount for that residence are the same as for the applicant for
the prior year.
Each year at the time the assessment books are certified to
the County Clerk, the Board of Review or Board of Appeals shall
give to the County Clerk a list of the assessed values of
improvements on each parcel qualifying for this exemption that
were added after the base year for this parcel and that
increased the assessed value of the property.
In the case of land improved with an apartment building
owned and operated as a cooperative or a building that is a
life care facility that qualifies as a cooperative, the maximum
reduction from the equalized assessed value of the property is
limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of
age or older, (ii) with a household income that does not exceed
the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract
with the owner or owners of record, for paying real property
taxes on the property, and (iv) who is an owner of record of a
legal or equitable interest in the cooperative apartment
building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under
this Section, the cooperative association or its management

10100HB3469sam001 - 63 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
firm shall credit the savings resulting from that exemption
only to the apportioned tax liability of the owner who
qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses
to credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the
exemption is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
When a homestead exemption has been granted under this
Section and an applicant then becomes a resident of a facility
licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act, the
Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health
Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the ID/DD Community Care Act, or
the MC/DD Act, the exemption shall be granted in subsequent
years so long as the residence (i) continues to be occupied by
the qualified applicant's spouse or (ii) if remaining
unoccupied, is still owned by the qualified applicant for the
homestead exemption.
Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who
would have qualified for an exemption under this Section, and
the surviving spouse does not independently qualify for this
exemption because of age, the exemption under this Section
shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
preceding and the taxable year of the death, provided that,
except for age, the surviving spouse meets all other
qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those
years.
When married persons maintain separate residences, the
exemption provided for in this Section may be claimed by only

10100HB3469sam001 - 64 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
one of such persons and for only one residence.
For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than
3,000,000 inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall
submit an application by February 15, 1995 to the Chief County
Assessment Officer of the county in which the property is
located. In counties having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, for
taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to receive
the exemption, a person may submit an application to the Chief
County Assessment Officer of the county in which the property
is located during such period as may be specified by the Chief
County Assessment Officer. The Chief County Assessment Officer
in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall annually
give notice of the application period by mail or by
publication. In counties having less than 3,000,000
inhabitants, beginning with taxable year 1995 and thereafter,
to receive the exemption, a person shall submit an application
by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
Officer of the county in which the property is located. A
county may, by ordinance, establish a date for submission of
applications that is different than July 1. The applicant shall
submit with the application an affidavit of the applicant's
total household income, age, marital status (and if married the
name and address of the applicant's spouse, if known), and
principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule,
a method for verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by

10100HB3469sam001 - 65 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment
Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an
exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is
eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall
contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made
under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a
fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in
Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The applications
shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior Citizens
Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice
that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an
audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in
counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
applicant fails to file the application required by this
Section in a timely manner and this failure to file is due to a
mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so as to
render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a
timely manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend
the filing deadline for a period of 30 days after the applicant
regains the capability to file the application, but in no case
may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3 months of the
original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the
Chief County Assessment Officer with a signed statement from
the applicant's physician, advanced practice registered nurse,

10100HB3469sam001 - 66 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
or physician assistant stating the nature and extent of the
condition, that, in the physician's, advanced practice
registered nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the
condition was so severe that it rendered the applicant
incapable of filing the application in a timely manner, and the
date on which the applicant regained the capability to file the
application.
Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other
provision to the contrary, in counties having fewer than
3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant fails to file the
application required by this Section in a timely manner and
this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition
sufficiently severe so as to render the applicant incapable of
filing the application in a timely manner, the Chief County
Assessment Officer may extend the filing deadline for a period
of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided in this
paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County
Assessment Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's
physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician
assistant stating the nature and extent of the condition, and
that, in the physician's, advanced practice registered
nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the condition was so
severe that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
application in a timely manner.
In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
applicant was denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the

10100HB3469sam001 - 67 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
denial occurred due to an error on the part of an assessment
official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in
taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for purposes of
determining the amount of the exemption, shall be 1993 rather
than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the applicant's
exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount
of any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995
as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year,

Section 90-50. The Illinois Library System Act is amended
by changing Sections 8.1 and 8.4 as follows:
(75 ILCS 10/8.1) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.1)
Sec. 8.1. The State Librarian shall make grants annually
under this Section to all qualified public libraries in the
State from funds appropriated by the General Assembly. Such
grants shall be in the amount of up to $1.475 $1.25 per capita
for the population of the area served by the respective public
library and, in addition, the amount of up to $0.19 per capita
to libraries serving populations over 500,000 under the
Illinois Major Urban Library Program. If the moneys
appropriated for grants under this Section fail to meet the
$1.475 $1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the
funding shall be decreased pro rata so that qualifying public
libraries receive the same amount per capita. If the moneys
appropriated for grants under this Section exceed the $1.475
$1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the funding shall
be increased pro rata so that qualifying public libraries
receive the same amount per capita.
To be eligible for grants under this Section, a public
library must:
(1) Provide, as determined by the State Librarian,
library services which either meet or show progress toward

10100HB3469sam001 - 77 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
meeting the Illinois library standards, as most recently
adopted by the Illinois Library Association.
(2) Be a public library for which is levied a tax for
library purposes at a rate not less than .13% or a county
library for which is levied a tax for library purposes at a
rate not less than .07%. If a library is subject to the
Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the Property Tax
Code and its tax levy for library purposes has been lowered
to a rate of less than .13%, this requirement will be
waived if the library qualified for this grant in the
previous year and if the tax levied for library purposes in
the current year produces tax revenue for library purposes
that is an increase over the previous year's extension of
5% or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index,
whichever is less. Beginning in State Fiscal Year 2012, the
eligibility requirement in this subsection shall be waived
if a library's tax levy for library purposes has been
lowered to a rate of less than 0.13%, and the State
Librarian determines that the library (i) continues to meet
the requirements of item (1) of this Section and (ii)
received a grant under this Section in the previous fiscal
year.
Any other language in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, grants under this Section 8.1 shall be made
only upon application of the public library concerned, which
applications shall be entirely voluntary and within the sole

10100HB3469sam001 - 78 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
discretion of the public library concerned.
In order to be eligible for a grant under this Section, the
corporate authorities, in lieu of a tax levy at a particular
rate, may provide funds from other sources, an amount
equivalent to the amount to be produced by that levy.

from funds appropriated by the General Assembly. Such grants
shall be in the amount of $0.885 $0.75 per student as
determined by the official enrollment as of the previous
September 30 of the respective school having a qualified school
library. If the moneys appropriated for grants under this
Section are not sufficient, the State Librarian shall reduce
the amount of the grants as necessary; in making these
reductions, the State Librarian shall endeavor to provide each
school district that has a qualifying school library (i) at
least the same amount per student as the district received
under this Section in the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) a
total grant of at least $850 $750, which, in the event of an
insufficient appropriation, shall not be reduced to a total

10100HB3469sam001 - 79 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
grant of less than $100.
To qualify for grants under this Section, a school library
must:
(1) Be an entity which serves the basic information and
library needs of the school's employees and students
through a bibliographically organized collection of
library materials, has at least one employee whose primary
duty is to serve as a librarian, and has a collection
permanently supported financially, accessible centrally,
and occupying identifiable quarters in one principal
location.
(2) Meet the requirements for membership in a library
system under the provisions of this Act.
(3) Have applied for membership in the library system
of jurisdiction if the system is a multitype library system
under this Act.
(4) Provide, as mutually determined by the Illinois
State Librarian and the Illinois State Board of Education,
library services which either meet or show progress toward
meeting the Illinois school library standards as most
recently adopted by the Illinois School Library Media
Association.
(5) Submit a statement certifying that the financial
support for the school library or libraries of the applying
school district has been maintained undiminished, or if
diminished, the percentage of diminution of financial

10100HB3469sam001 - 80 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
support is no more than the percentage of diminution of the
applying school's total financial support for educational
and operations purposes since the submission of the last
previous application of the school district for the school
library per student grant that was funded.
Grants under this Section shall be made only upon
application of the school district for its qualified school
library or school libraries.

agency or a law enforcement or corrections officer acting
within the course and scope of his or her official duties;
(8) transfers of firearms that have been rendered
permanently inoperable to a nonprofit historical society,
museum, or institutional collection; and
(9) transfers to a person who is exempt from the
requirement of possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
Card under Section 2 of this Act.
(a-20) The Department of State Police shall develop an
Internet-based system for individuals to determine the
validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card prior to the
sale or transfer of a firearm. The Department shall have the
Internet-based system completed and available for use by July

10100HB3469sam001 - 89 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
1, 2015. This Internet-based system may be used by federal
firearm license dealers and others for the purposes of
determining the validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification
Card for ammunition transfers and sales. Nothing shall be
deemed to prohibit an individual from using this site to
determine a Firearm Owner's Identification Card status. The
Department shall adopt rules not inconsistent with this Section
to implement this system.
(b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to
be transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a
record of such transfer for a period of 10 years from the date
of transfer. Such record shall contain the date of the
transfer; the description, serial number or other information
identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number
is available; and, if the transfer was completed within this
State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card
number and any approval number or documentation provided by the
Department of State Police pursuant to subsection (a-10) of
this Section; if the transfer was not completed within this
State, the record shall contain the name and address of the
transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall
contain the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On
demand of a peace officer such transferor shall produce for
inspection such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale
took place at a gun show, the record shall include the unique
identification number. Failure to record the unique

10100HB3469sam001 - 90 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
identification number or approval number is a petty offense.
For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on or after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
Assembly, failure by the private seller to maintain the
transfer records in accordance with this Section is a Class A
misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class 4 felony for a
second or subsequent offense. A transferee shall not be
criminally liable under this Section provided that he or she
provides the Department of State Police with the transfer
records in accordance with procedures established by the
Department. The Department shall establish, by rule, a standard
form on its website.
(b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person
within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States
mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law
to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within
or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a
copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card or
valid concealed carry license and either his or her Illinois
driver's license or Illinois State Identification Card prior to
the shipment of the ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped
only to an address on either of those 2 documents.
(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer
of firearm ammunition shall not apply to those persons
specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2 of this Act.

the capital development and improvement of park, recreation or
conservation areas, marinas and shorelines, including planning
and engineering costs, and for the acquisition of open space

described in an application under this Act.

10100HB3469sam001 - 98 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
Any grant under this Act to a local government shall be
conditioned upon the state providing assistance on a 50/50

capital development and improvement proposals. However, a
local government defined as "distressed" under criteria

by changing Section 5-5-5 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-5-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-5)
Sec. 5-5-5. Loss and restoration of rights.

hereafter amended.
(b) A person convicted of a felony shall be ineligible to
hold an office created by the Constitution of this State until

discharge from probation, conditional discharge or periodic
imprisonment, or at any time thereafter, all license rights and

restoration is not in the public interest. This paragraph (d)
shall not apply to the suspension or revocation of a license to
operate a motor vehicle under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
(e) Upon a person's discharge from incarceration or parole,
or upon a person's discharge from probation or at any time

thereafter, the committing court may enter an order certifying
that the sentence has been satisfactorily completed when the
court believes it would assist in the rehabilitation of the
person and be consistent with the public welfare. Such order
may be entered upon the motion of the defendant or the State or
upon the court's own motion.
(f) Upon entry of the order, the court shall issue to the
person in whose favor the order has been entered a certificate
stating that his behavior after conviction has warranted the
issuance of the order.
(g) This Section shall not affect the right of a defendant
to collaterally attack his conviction or to rely on it in bar
of subsequent proceedings for the same offense.
(h) No application for any license specified in subsection
(i) of this Section granted under the authority of this State
shall be denied by reason of an eligible offender who has
obtained a certificate of relief from disabilities, as defined
in Article 5.5 of this Chapter, having been previously
convicted of one or more criminal offenses, or by reason of a
finding of lack of "good moral character" when the finding is
based upon the fact that the applicant has previously been
convicted of one or more criminal offenses, unless:
(1) there is a direct relationship between one or more
of the previous criminal offenses and the specific license
sought; or
(2) the issuance of the license would involve an

10100HB3469sam001 - 101 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
unreasonable risk to property or to the safety or welfare
of specific individuals or the general public.

consider the following factors:
(1) the public policy of this State, as expressed in
Article 5.5 of this Chapter, to encourage the licensure and
employment of persons previously convicted of one or more
criminal offenses;
(2) the specific duties and responsibilities
necessarily related to the license being sought;
(3) the bearing, if any, the criminal offenses or
offenses for which the person was previously convicted will
have on his or her fitness or ability to perform one or
more such duties and responsibilities;
(4) the time which has elapsed since the occurrence of
the criminal offense or offenses;
(5) the age of the person at the time of occurrence of
the criminal offense or offenses;
(6) the seriousness of the offense or offenses;
(7) any information produced by the person or produced
on his or her behalf in regard to his or her rehabilitation
and good conduct, including a certificate of relief from
disabilities issued to the applicant, which certificate
shall create a presumption of rehabilitation in regard to
the offense or offenses specified in the certificate; and
(8) the legitimate interest of the licensing agency in

10100HB3469sam001 - 102 - LRB101 10479 RJF 74843 a
protecting property, and the safety and welfare of specific
individuals or the general public.
(i) A certificate of relief from disabilities shall be
issued only for a license or certification issued under the
following Acts:
(1) the Animal Welfare Act; except that a certificate
of relief from disabilities may not be granted to provide
for the issuance or restoration of a license under the
Animal Welfare Act for any person convicted of violating
Section 3, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane

concert, attend rehearsals, or be present in connection with
such appearance or rehearsals, in the theatre where the play or
musical comedy is produced or in the place where the concert or
recital is given, for more than a total of six (6) hours in any

authorized agents, to issue the certificate. The
Superintendent may waive the requirement in Section 12 of this
Act that a minor submit his or her application in person, if
