into any agreement with the federal government or the State,
or any agency or instrumentality of either, in connection with
those grants, loans, or appropriations.
(2) To make loans from appropriations from the Build
Illinois Bond Fund and to accept guarantees from individuals,
partnerships, joint ventures, corporations, and governmental
agencies. Any loan or series of loans shall be limited to an
amount not to exceed the lesser of $4,000,000 or 60% of the
total project cost.
(3) To establish interest rates, terms of repayment, and
other terms and conditions regarding loans made under this Act
as the Department shall determine necessary or appropriate to
protect the public interest and carry out the purposes of this
Act.
(4) To receive, evaluate, and establish time schedules for
the determination of, and determine applications for financial
aid for the development, construction, acquisition, or
improvement of, an industrial coal project from any qualifying
applicant and negotiate terms and conditions on which the coal
project may be developed, constructed, improved, owned, or

HB1863 Enrolled - 25 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
used by or leased to the applicant or its successor in
interest. The Department shall prescribe the form of
application. The form shall contain, without being limited to,
the following:
(i) a general description of the industrial coal
project and of the developer, user, or tenant for which
the industrial project is to be established;
(ii) plans, equipment lists, and other documents that
may be required to show the type, structure, and general
character of the project;
(iii) a general description of the expected use of

incidence of hepatitis and, upon their release, present a
significant health risk to the general population.
(8) Illinois members of the armed services are subject
to an increased risk of contracting hepatitis due to their
possible receipt of contaminated blood during a
transfusion occurring for the treatment of wounds and due
to their service in areas of the World where the disease is
more prevalent and healthcare is less capable of detecting
and treating the disease. Many of these service members
are unaware of the danger of hepatitis and their increased

testing fee from each community water supply for participating
in the laboratory fee program for analytical services to

HB1863 Enrolled - 70 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
determine compliance with contaminant levels specified in
State or federal drinking water regulations. A community water
supply may commit to participation in the laboratory fee
program. If the community water supply makes such a
commitment, it shall commit for a period consistent with the
participation requirements established by the Agency and the
Community Water Supply Testing Council (Council). If a
community water supply elects not to participate, it must
annually notify the Agency in writing of its decision not to
participate in the laboratory fee program.
(b) The Agency shall determine the fee for participating
in the laboratory fee program for analytical services. The
Agency may establish multi-year participation requirements for
community water supplies and establish fees accordingly. The
Agency shall base its annual fee determination upon the actual
and anticipated costs for testing under State and federal
drinking water regulations and the associated administrative
costs of the Agency and the Council.
(c) Community water supplies that choose not to
participate in the laboratory fee program or do not pay the
fees shall have the duty to analyze all drinking water samples
as required by State or federal safe drinking water
regulations established after the federal Safe Drinking Water
Act Amendments of 1986.
(d) There is hereby created in the State Treasury an
interest-bearing special fund to be known as the Community

HB1863 Enrolled - 71 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Water Supply Laboratory Fund. All fees collected by the Agency
under this Section shall be deposited into this Fund and shall
be used for no other purpose except those established in this
Section. In addition to any monies appropriated from the
General Revenue Fund, monies in the Fund shall be appropriated
to the Agency in amounts deemed necessary for laboratory
testing of samples from community water supplies, and for the
associated administrative expenses of the Agency and the
Council.
(e) The Agency is authorized to adopt reasonable and
necessary rules for the administration of this Section. The
Agency shall submit the proposed rules for review by the

Section 5-455. The Eminent Domain Act is amended by

(735 ILCS 30/5-5-5)
Sec. 5-5-5. Exercise of the power of eminent domain;
public use; blight.
(a) In addition to all other limitations and requirements,
a condemning authority may not take or damage property by the
exercise of the power of eminent domain unless it is for a
public use, as set forth in this Section.
(a-5) Subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) of this
Section do not apply to the acquisition of property under the
O'Hare Modernization Act. A condemning authority may exercise
the power of eminent domain for the acquisition or damaging of
property under the O'Hare Modernization Act as provided for by
law in effect prior to the effective date of this Act.
(a-10) Subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) of this

HB1863 Enrolled - 77 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Section do not apply to the acquisition or damaging of
property in furtherance of the goals and objectives of an
existing tax increment allocation redevelopment plan. A
condemning authority may exercise the power of eminent domain
for the acquisition of property in furtherance of an existing
tax increment allocation redevelopment plan as provided for by
law in effect prior to the effective date of this Act.
As used in this subsection, "existing tax increment
allocation redevelopment plan" means a redevelopment plan that
was adopted under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment
Act (Article 11, Division 74.4 of the Illinois Municipal Code)
prior to April 15, 2006 and for which property assembly costs
were, before that date, included as a budget line item in the
plan or described in the narrative portion of the plan as part
of the redevelopment project, but does not include (i) any
additional area added to the redevelopment project area on or
after April 15, 2006, (ii) any subsequent extension of the
completion date of a redevelopment plan beyond the estimated
completion date established in that plan prior to April 15,
2006, (iii) any acquisition of property in a conservation area
for which the condemnation complaint is filed more than 12
years after the effective date of this Act, or (iv) any
acquisition of property in an industrial park conservation
area.
As used in this subsection, "conservation area" and
"industrial park conservation area" have the same meanings as

HB1863 Enrolled - 78 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
under Section 11-74.4-3 of the Illinois Municipal Code.
(b) If the exercise of eminent domain authority is to
acquire property for public ownership and control, then the
condemning authority must prove that (i) the acquisition of
the property is necessary for a public purpose and (ii) the
acquired property will be owned and controlled by the
condemning authority or another governmental entity.
(c) Except when the acquisition is governed by subsection
(b) or is primarily for one of the purposes specified in
subsection (d), (e), or (f) and the condemning authority
elects to proceed under one of those subsections, if the
exercise of eminent domain authority is to acquire property
for private ownership or control, or both, then the condemning
authority must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the
acquisition of the property for private ownership or control
is (i) primarily for the benefit, use, or enjoyment of the
public and (ii) necessary for a public purpose.
An acquisition of property primarily for the purpose of
the elimination of blight is rebuttably presumed to be for a
public purpose and primarily for the benefit, use, or
enjoyment of the public under this subsection.
Any challenge to the existence of blighting factors
alleged in a complaint to condemn under this subsection shall
be raised within 6 months of the filing date of the complaint
to condemn, and if not raised within that time the right to
challenge the existence of those blighting factors shall be

HB1863 Enrolled - 79 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
deemed waived.
Evidence that the Illinois Commerce Commission has granted
a certificate or otherwise made a finding of public
convenience and necessity for an acquisition of property (or
any right or interest in property) for private ownership or
control (including, without limitation, an acquisition for
which the use of eminent domain is authorized under the Public
Utilities Act, the Telephone Company Act, or the Electric
Supplier Act) to be used for utility purposes creates a
rebuttable presumption that such acquisition of that property
(or right or interest in property) is (i) primarily for the
benefit, use, or enjoyment of the public and (ii) necessary
for a public purpose.
In the case of an acquisition of property (or any right or
interest in property) for private ownership or control to be
used for utility, pipeline, or railroad purposes for which no
certificate or finding of public convenience and necessity by
the Illinois Commerce Commission is required, evidence that
the acquisition is one for which the use of eminent domain is
authorized under one of the following laws creates a
rebuttable presumption that the acquisition of that property
(or right or interest in property) is (i) primarily for the
benefit, use, or enjoyment of the public and (ii) necessary
for a public purpose:
(1) the Public Utilities Act,
(2) the Telephone Company Act,

HB1863 Enrolled - 80 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(3) the Electric Supplier Act,
(4) the Railroad Terminal Authority Act,
(5) (blank), the Grand Avenue Railroad Relocation
Authority Act,
(6) the West Cook Railroad Relocation and Development
Authority Act,
(7) Section 4-505 of the Illinois Highway Code,
(8) Section 17 or 18 of the Railroad Incorporation
Act,
(9) Section 18c-7501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
(d) If the exercise of eminent domain authority is to
acquire property for private ownership or control and if the
primary basis for the acquisition is the elimination of blight
and the condemning authority elects to proceed under this
subsection, then the condemning authority must: (i) prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that acquisition of the property
for private ownership or control is necessary for a public
purpose; (ii) prove by a preponderance of the evidence that
the property to be acquired is located in an area that is
currently designated as a blighted area or conservation area
under an applicable statute; (iii) if the existence of blight
or blighting factors is challenged in an appropriate motion
filed within 6 months after the date of filing of the complaint
to condemn, prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the
required blighting factors existed in the area so designated
(but not necessarily in the particular property to be

HB1863 Enrolled - 81 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
acquired) at the time of the designation under item (ii) or at
any time thereafter; and (iv) prove by a preponderance of the
evidence at least one of the following:
(A) that it has entered into an express written
agreement in which a private person or entity agrees to
undertake a development project within the blighted area
that specifically details the reasons for which the
property or rights in that property are necessary for the
development project;
(B) that the exercise of eminent domain power and the
proposed use of the property by the condemning authority
are consistent with a regional plan that has been adopted
within the past 5 years in accordance with Section 5-14001
of the Counties Code or Section 11-12-6 of the Illinois
Municipal Code or with a local land resource management
plan adopted under Section 4 of the Local Land Resource
Management Planning Act; or
(C) that (1) the acquired property will be used in the
development of a project that is consistent with the land
uses set forth in a comprehensive redevelopment plan
prepared in accordance with the applicable statute
authorizing the condemning authority to exercise the power
of eminent domain and is consistent with the goals and
purposes of that comprehensive redevelopment plan, and (2)
an enforceable written agreement, deed restriction, or
similar encumbrance has been or will be executed and

HB1863 Enrolled - 82 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
recorded against the acquired property to assure that the
project and the use of the property remain consistent with
those land uses, goals, and purposes for a period of at
least 40 years, which execution and recording shall be
included as a requirement in any final order entered in
the condemnation proceeding.
The existence of an ordinance, resolution, or other
official act designating an area as blighted is not prima
facie evidence of the existence of blight. A finding by the
court in a condemnation proceeding that a property or area has
not been proven to be blighted does not apply to any other case
or undermine the designation of a blighted area or
conservation area or the determination of the existence of
blight for any other purpose or under any other statute,
including without limitation under the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act (Article 11, Division 74.4 of the
Illinois Municipal Code).
Any challenge to the existence of blighting factors
alleged in a complaint to condemn under this subsection shall
be raised within 6 months of the filing date of the complaint
to condemn, and if not raised within that time the right to
challenge the existence of those blighting factors shall be
deemed waived.
(e) If the exercise of eminent domain authority is to
acquire property for private ownership or control and if the
primary purpose of the acquisition is one of the purposes

HB1863 Enrolled - 83 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
specified in item (iii) of this subsection and the condemning
authority elects to proceed under this subsection, then the
condemning authority must prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that: (i) the acquisition of the property is
necessary for a public purpose; (ii) an enforceable written
agreement, deed restriction, or similar encumbrance has been
or will be executed and recorded against the acquired property
to assure that the project and the use of the property remain
consistent with the applicable purpose specified in item (iii)
of this subsection for a period of at least 40 years, which
execution and recording shall be included as a requirement in
any final order entered in the condemnation proceeding; and
(iii) the acquired property will be one of the following:
(1) included in the project site for a residential
project, or a mixed-use project including residential
units, where not less than 20% of the residential units in
the project are made available, for at least 15 years, by
deed restriction, long-term lease, regulatory agreement,
extended use agreement, or a comparable recorded
encumbrance, to low-income households and very low-income
households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
Affordable Housing Act;
(2) used primarily for public airport, road, parking,
or mass transportation purposes and sold or leased to a
private party in a sale-leaseback, lease-leaseback, or
similar structured financing;

HB1863 Enrolled - 84 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(3) owned or used by a public utility or electric
cooperative for utility purposes;
(4) owned or used by a railroad for passenger or
freight transportation purposes;
(5) sold or leased to a private party that operates a
water supply, waste water, recycling, waste disposal,
waste-to-energy, or similar facility;
(6) sold or leased to a not-for-profit corporation
whose purposes include the preservation of open space, the
operation of park space, and similar public purposes;
(7) used as a library, museum, or related facility, or
as infrastructure related to such a facility;
(8) used by a private party for the operation of a
charter school open to the general public; or
(9) a historic resource, as defined in Section 3 of
the Illinois State Agency Historic Resources Preservation
Act, a landmark designated as such under a local
ordinance, or a contributing structure within a local
landmark district listed on the National Register of
Historic Places, that is being acquired for purposes of
preservation or rehabilitation.
(f) If the exercise of eminent domain authority is to
acquire property for public ownership and private control and
if the primary purpose of the acquisition is one of the
purposes specified in item (iii) of this subsection and the
condemning authority elects to proceed under this subsection,

HB1863 Enrolled - 85 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
then the condemning authority must prove by a preponderance of
the evidence that: (i) the acquisition of the property is
necessary for a public purpose; (ii) the acquired property
will be owned by the condemning authority or another
governmental entity; and (iii) the acquired property will be
controlled by a private party that operates a business or
facility related to the condemning authority's operation of a
university, medical district, hospital, exposition or
convention center, mass transportation facility, or airport,
including, but not limited to, a medical clinic, research and
development center, food or commercial concession facility,
social service facility, maintenance or storage facility,
cargo facility, rental car facility, bus facility, taxi
facility, flight kitchen, fixed based operation, parking
facility, refueling facility, water supply facility, and
railroad tracks and stations.
(g) This Article is a limitation on the exercise of the
power of eminent domain, but is not an independent grant of
authority to exercise the power of eminent domain.

Such trust fund and each individual employee or annuitant
account created by the Comptroller shall be subject to audit

Sec. 12-4.50. Healthy Local Food Incentives Program.
(a) Legislative findings. Diet and other lifestyle choices
contribute to more than half of all deaths in Illinois. Health
risk factors include smoking, obesity, stress, nutrition, high
blood pressure, and alcohol and drug use. Illinois residents
should be encouraged to adopt diets and lifestyles that lead
to wellness. The State can help provide that encouragement by
funding wellness programs that enhance the health of Illinois
residents. Healthy local food incentives encourage wellness
among some of the most vulnerable residents of Illinois (those
whose incomes are below the poverty line and who often have
limited access to fresh, healthy, and affordable foods) by
doubling the purchasing power of LINK cardholders at farmers
markets across the State. The benefits of such a program
include: an increase in population health, Medicaid health
care cost savings, decreased incidence of preventable
diseases, increased revenue for Illinois small farmers, and
economic stimulus for the region.
(b) Definitions. As used in this Section:
"FINI eligible fruits and vegetables" means any variety of
fresh, canned, dried, or frozen whole or cut fruits and
vegetables without added sugars, fats, or oils, and salt (i.e.
sodium), as defined by the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive
Grant Program administered by the United States Department of

HB1863 Enrolled - 127 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Agriculture.
"LINK card" means an electronic benefits transfer card
issued by the Department of Human Services for the purpose of
enabling a user of the card to obtain SNAP benefits or cash.
"SNAP" means the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program.
(c) The Department of Human Services shall establish a
Healthy Local Food Incentives Program to double the purchasing
power of Illinois residents with limited access to fresh
fruits and vegetables. The Healthy Local Food Incentives Fund
is created as a special fund in the State treasury for the
purpose of implementing the Healthy Local Food Incentives
Program. All moneys received pursuant to this Section shall be
deposited into the Healthy Local Food Incentives Fund.
(d) Subject to appropriation, the Department of Human
Services shall make an annual grant of $500,000 from the Fund
to a qualified Illinois non-profit organization or agency,
which shall be distributed to participating Illinois farmers
markets for the purpose of providing matching dollar
incentives (up to a specified amount) for the dollar value of
SNAP benefits spent on FINI eligible fruits and vegetables at
participating Illinois farmers markets and direct
producer-to-consumer venues.
(e) The designated qualified non-profit organization or
agency shall have a demonstrated track record of:
(1) building a statewide network;

incentive programs that connect SNAP recipients with local
producers;

designated qualified non-profit organization or agency shall
submit a progress report to the Department of Human Services.
The progress report shall include the following information:
(1) the names and locations of Illinois farmers
markets and direct producer-to-consumer venues that
received funds distributed under the Program;
(2) the dollar amount of funds awarded to each
participating Illinois farmers market and direct
producer-to-consumer venue;
(3) the dollar amount of SNAP benefits, and funds
provided under the Program, that were spent at Illinois

HB1863 Enrolled - 129 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
farmers markets participating in the Program, as well as
the dollar amount of any unspent funds available under the
Program;
(4) the number of SNAP transactions carried out
annually at participating Illinois farmers markets;
(5) the impact of the Program on increasing the
quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables consumed by SNAP
families, as determined by customer surveys.
(h) No later than December 31, 2017, the Department of
Human Services shall adopt rules to implement the provisions

(15 ILCS 20/50-5)
Sec. 50-5. Governor to submit State budget.

HB1863 Enrolled - 184 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(a) The Governor shall, as soon as possible and not later
than the second Wednesday in March in 2010 (March 10, 2010),
the third Wednesday in February in 2011, the fourth Wednesday
in February in 2012 (February 22, 2012), the first Wednesday
in March in 2013 (March 6, 2013), the fourth Wednesday in March
in 2014 (March 26, 2014), the first Wednesday in February in
2022 (February 2, 2022), and the third Wednesday in February
of each year thereafter, except as otherwise provided in this
Section, submit a State budget, embracing therein the amounts
recommended by the Governor to be appropriated to the
respective departments, offices, and institutions, and for all
other public purposes, the estimated revenues from taxation,
and the estimated revenues from sources other than taxation.
Except with respect to the capital development provisions of
the State budget, beginning with the revenue estimates
prepared for fiscal year 2012, revenue estimates shall be
based solely on: (i) revenue sources (including non-income
resources), rates, and levels that exist as of the date of the
submission of the State budget for the fiscal year and (ii)
revenue sources (including non-income resources), rates, and
levels that have been passed by the General Assembly as of the
date of the submission of the State budget for the fiscal year
and that are authorized to take effect in that fiscal year.
Except with respect to the capital development provisions of
the State budget, the Governor shall determine available
revenue, deduct the cost of essential government services,

HB1863 Enrolled - 185 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
including, but not limited to, pension payments and debt
service, and assign a percentage of the remaining revenue to
each statewide prioritized goal, as established in Section
50-25 of this Law, taking into consideration the proposed
goals set forth in the report of the Commission established
under that Section. The Governor shall also demonstrate how
spending priorities for the fiscal year fulfill those
statewide goals. The amounts recommended by the Governor for
appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
institutions shall be formulated according to each
department's, office's, and institution's ability to
effectively deliver services that meet the established
statewide goals. The amounts relating to particular functions
and activities shall be further formulated in accordance with
the object classification specified in Section 13 of the State
Finance Act. In addition, the amounts recommended by the
Governor for appropriation shall take into account each State
agency's effectiveness in achieving its prioritized goals for
the previous fiscal year, as set forth in Section 50-25 of this
Law, giving priority to agencies and programs that have
demonstrated a focus on the prevention of waste and the
maximum yield from resources.
Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Governor shall
distribute written quarterly financial reports on operating
funds, which may include general, State, or federal funds and
may include funds related to agencies that have significant

HB1863 Enrolled - 186 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
impacts on State operations, and budget statements on all
appropriated funds to the General Assembly and the State
Comptroller. The reports shall be submitted no later than 45
days after the last day of each quarter of the fiscal year and
shall be posted on the Governor's Office of Management and
Budget's website on the same day. The reports shall be
prepared and presented for each State agency and on a
statewide level in an executive summary format that may
include, for the fiscal year to date, individual itemizations
for each significant revenue type as well as itemizations of
expenditures and obligations, by agency, with an appropriate
level of detail. The reports shall include a calculation of
the actual total budget surplus or deficit for the fiscal year
to date. The Governor shall also present periodic budget
addresses throughout the fiscal year at the invitation of the
General Assembly.
The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the
General Assembly shall not enact appropriations that exceed
the resources estimated to be available, as provided in this
Section. Appropriations may be adjusted during the fiscal year
by means of one or more supplemental appropriation bills if
any State agency either fails to meet or exceeds the goals set
forth in Section 50-25 of this Law.
For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following
funds shall be prepared on the basis of revenue and

HB1863 Enrolled - 187 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
expenditure measurement concepts that are in concert with
generally accepted accounting principles for governments:
(1) General Revenue Fund.
(2) Common School Fund.
(3) Educational Assistance Fund.
(4) Road Fund.
(5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
(6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The
revenue estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted
funds shall include the estimated beginning fund balance, plus
revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year,
plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30 of the
budgeted year that are expected to be collected during the
lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the receipts
collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that
became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State
Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund for which
current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures,
the surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for
expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.
Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by the
State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next fiscal

HB1863 Enrolled - 188 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year which were
carried over from the prior year, where the payment is
authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
incurred during the budget year.
Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations
that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal
year.
By March 15 of each year, the Commission on Government
Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare revenue and fund
transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and
the Governor.
For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation for a
fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General
Assembly to be available during that year.
(b) By February 24, 2010, the Governor must file a written
report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
House of Representatives containing the following:

HB1863 Enrolled - 189 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(1) for fiscal year 2010, the revenues for all
budgeted funds, both actual to date and estimated for the
full fiscal year;
(2) for fiscal year 2010, the expenditures for all
budgeted funds, both actual to date and estimated for the
full fiscal year;
(3) for fiscal year 2011, the estimated revenues for
all budgeted funds, including without limitation the
affordable General Revenue Fund appropriations, for the
full fiscal year; and
(4) for fiscal year 2011, an estimate of the
anticipated liabilities for all budgeted funds, including
without limitation the affordable General Revenue Fund
appropriations, debt service on bonds issued, and the
State's contributions to the pension systems, for the full
fiscal year.
Between July 1 and August 31 of each fiscal year, the
members of the General Assembly and members of the public may
make written budget recommendations to the Governor.
Beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the
budgets submitted by the Governor and appropriations made by
the General Assembly for all executive branch State agencies
must adhere to a method of budgeting where each priority must
be justified each year according to merit rather than
according to the amount appropriated for the preceding year.

Article 30.
Section 30-5. The School Code is amended by changing
Section 18-8.15 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/18-8.15)
Sec. 18-8.15. Evidence-Based Funding for student success
for the 2017-2018 and subsequent school years.
(a) General provisions.
(1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
to ensure the educational development of all persons to
the limits of their capacities in accordance with Section
1 of Article X of the Constitution of the State of
Illinois. To accomplish that objective, this Section
creates a method of funding public education that is
evidence-based; is sufficient to ensure every student
receives a meaningful opportunity to learn irrespective of
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or
community-income level; and is sustainable and
predictable. When fully funded under this Section, every
school shall have the resources, based on what the

HB1863 Enrolled - 214 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
evidence indicates is needed, to:
(A) provide all students with a high quality
education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
programs that will allow them to become competitive
workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
this State, and active members of our national
democracy;
(B) ensure all students receive the education they
need to graduate from high school with the skills
required to pursue post-secondary education and
training for a rewarding career;
(C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
students by raising the performance of at-risk
students and not by reducing standards; and
(D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
assume the primary responsibility to fund public
education and simultaneously relieve the
disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
to fund schools.
(2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both

HB1863 Enrolled - 215 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
this Section, there are 4 major components of the
Evidence-Based Funding model:
(A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
considers the costs to implement research-based
activities, the unit's student demographics, and
regional wage differences.
(B) Second, the model calculates each
Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
(C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
the State currently contributes to the Organizational
Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
funding.
(D) Finally, the model's distribution method
allocates new State funding to those Organizational
Units that are least well-funded, considering both
Local Capacity and State funding, in relation to their
Adequacy Target.
(3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
expenditures by law.

the Organizational Unit" means the number of students
reported to the State Board who are enrolled in schools
within the Organizational Unit that the student attends or
would attend if not placed or transferred to another

through 12, excluding those attending kindergarten for a
half day and students attending an alternative education
program operated by a regional office of education or
intermediate service center, shall be counted as 1.0. All
students attending kindergarten for a half day shall be
counted as 0.5, unless in 2017 by June 15 or by March 1 in
subsequent years, the school district reports to the State
Board of Education the intent to implement full-day
kindergarten district-wide for all students, then all
students attending kindergarten shall be counted as 1.0.
Special education pre-kindergarten students shall be
counted as 0.5 each. If the State Board does not collect or
has not collected both an October 1 and March 1 enrollment
count by grade or a December 1 collection of special

HB1863 Enrolled - 220 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
education pre-kindergarten students as of August 31, 2017
(the effective date of Public Act 100-465), it shall
establish such collection for all future years. For any
year in which a count by grade level was collected only
once, that count shall be used as the single count
available for computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for
programs operated by a regional office of education or an
intermediate service center must be calculated using the
Evidence-Based Funding formula under this Section for the
2019-2020 school year and each subsequent school year
until separate adequacy formulas are developed and adopted
for each type of program. ASE for a program operated by a
regional office of education or an intermediate service
center must be determined by the March 1 enrollment for
the program. For the 2019-2020 school year, the ASE used
in the calculation must be the first-year ASE and, in that
year only, the assignment of students served by a regional
office of education or intermediate service center shall
not result in a reduction of the March enrollment for any
school district. For the 2020-2021 school year, the ASE
must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the 2-year
average ASE. Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, the
ASE must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the
3-year average ASE. School districts shall submit the data
for the ASE calculation to the State Board within 45 days
of the dates required in this Section for submission of

HB1863 Enrolled - 221 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
enrollment data in order for it to be included in the ASE
calculation. For fiscal year 2018 only, the ASE
calculation shall include only enrollment taken on October
1. In recognition of the impact of COVID-19, the
definition of "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" shall
be adjusted for calculations under this Section for fiscal
years 2022 through 2024. For fiscal years 2022 through
2024, the enrollment used in the calculation of ASE

Organizational Unit shall receive $742 per student of
the combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
students to cover central office operations, including
administrators and classified personnel charged with
managing the instructional programs, business and
operations of the school district, and security
personnel. The proportion of salary for the
application of a Regionalization Factor and the
calculation of benefits is equal to $368.48.
(U) Employee benefit investments. Each
Organizational Unit shall receive 30% of the total of
all salary-calculated elements of the Adequacy Target,
excluding substitute teachers and student activities
investments, to cover benefit costs. For central
office and maintenance and operations investments, the
benefit calculation shall be based upon the salary
proportion of each investment. If at any time the
responsibility for funding the employer normal cost of
teacher pensions is assigned to school districts, then
that amount certified by the Teachers' Retirement
System of the State of Illinois to be paid by the
Organizational Unit for the preceding school year

HB1863 Enrolled - 244 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
shall be added to the benefit investment. For any
fiscal year in which a school district organized under
Article 34 of this Code is responsible for paying the
employer normal cost of teacher pensions, then that
amount of its employer normal cost plus the amount for
retiree health insurance as certified by the Public
School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of
Chicago to be paid by the school district for the
preceding school year that is statutorily required to
cover employer normal costs and the amount for retiree
health insurance shall be added to the 30% specified
in this subparagraph (U). The Teachers' Retirement
System of the State of Illinois and the Public School
Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago shall
submit such information as the State Superintendent
may require for the calculations set forth in this
subparagraph (U).
(V) Additional investments in low-income students.
In addition to and not in lieu of all other funding
under this paragraph (2), each Organizational Unit
shall receive funding based on the average teacher
salary for grades K through 12 to cover the costs of:
(i) one FTE intervention teacher (tutor)
position for every 125 Low-Income Count students;
(ii) one FTE pupil support staff position for
every 125 Low-Income Count students;

HB1863 Enrolled - 245 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(iii) one FTE extended day teacher position
for every 120 Low-Income Count students; and
(iv) one FTE summer school teacher position
for every 120 Low-Income Count students.
(W) Additional investments in English learner
students. In addition to and not in lieu of all other
funding under this paragraph (2), each Organizational
Unit shall receive funding based on the average
teacher salary for grades K through 12 to cover the
costs of:
(i) one FTE intervention teacher (tutor)
position for every 125 English learner students;
(ii) one FTE pupil support staff position for
every 125 English learner students;
(iii) one FTE extended day teacher position
for every 120 English learner students;
(iv) one FTE summer school teacher position
for every 120 English learner students; and
(v) one FTE core teacher position for every
100 English learner students.
(X) Special education investments. Each
Organizational Unit shall receive funding based on the
average teacher salary for grades K through 12 to
cover special education as follows:
(i) one FTE teacher position for every 141
combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with

HB1863 Enrolled - 246 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
students;
(ii) one FTE instructional assistant for every
141 combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
students; and
(iii) one FTE psychologist position for every
1,000 combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children
with disabilities and all kindergarten through
grade 12 students.
(3) For calculating the salaries included within the
Essential Elements, the State Superintendent shall
annually calculate average salaries to the nearest dollar
using the employment information system data maintained by
the State Board, limited to public schools only and
excluding special education and vocational cooperatives,
schools operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice,
and charter schools, for the following positions:
(A) Teacher for grades K through 8.
(B) Teacher for grades 9 through 12.
(C) Teacher for grades K through 12.
(D) School counselor for grades K through 8.
(E) School counselor for grades 9 through 12.
(F) School counselor for grades K through 12.

(I) Librarian.
(J) Nurse.
(K) Principal.
(L) Assistant principal.
For the purposes of this paragraph (3), "teacher"
includes core teachers, specialist and elective teachers,
instructional facilitators, tutors, special education
teachers, pupil support staff teachers, English learner
teachers, extended day teachers, and summer school
teachers. Where specific grade data is not required for
the Essential Elements, the average salary for
corresponding positions shall apply. For substitute
teachers, the average teacher salary for grades K through
12 shall apply.
For calculating the salaries included within the
Essential Elements for positions not included within EIS
Data, the following salaries shall be used in the first
year of implementation of Evidence-Based Funding:
(i) school site staff, $30,000; and
(ii) non-instructional assistant, instructional
assistant, library aide, library media tech, or
supervisory aide: $25,000.
In the second and subsequent years of implementation
of Evidence-Based Funding, the amounts in items (i) and
(ii) of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the
ECI.

HB1863 Enrolled - 248 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of
subsection (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
Regionalization Factor.
(c) Local Capacity calculation.
(1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
represents an amount of funding it is assumed to
contribute toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the
Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
(2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
Capacity Target.
(2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained
by multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
Ratio.
(A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this

HB1863 Enrolled - 249 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
(C) of this paragraph (2).
(B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
adjusted as follows:
(i) for Organizational Units serving grades
kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
further adjustments shall be made;
(ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
multiplied by 9/13;
(iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
multiplied by 4/13; and
(iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
different grade configuration than those specified
in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
(B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
(C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the

HB1863 Enrolled - 250 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
in a percentile ranking to determine each
Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
be calculated using the standard normal distribution
of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
the public university that are allocated to the
Laboratory School. For a regional office of education
or an intermediate service center operating one or
more alternative education programs, the Local
Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in recognition
of the absence of EAV and resources from school
districts that are allocated to the regional office of
education or intermediate service center. The weighted
mean for the Local Capacity Percentage shall be
determined by multiplying each Organizational Unit's

HB1863 Enrolled - 251 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
deviation shall be determined by taking the square
root of the weighted variance of all Organizational
Units' Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is
calculated by squaring the difference between each
unit's Local Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean,
then multiplying the variance for each unit times the
ASE for the unit to create a weighted variance for each
unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
dividing by the total ASE of all units.
(D) For any Organizational Unit, the
Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
Pension Code in a given year or (ii) the board of
education's remaining contribution pursuant to
paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
cost portion of the required contribution and amount
allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified

HB1863 Enrolled - 252 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
(ii) shall be certified to the State Board of
Education by the Public School Teachers' Pension and
Retirement Fund of the City of Chicago.
(3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
Adequacy Target.
(d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV
for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
(1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the

HB1863 Enrolled - 253 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Organizational Unit.
(2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
of calculating Local Capacity.
(3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
extending taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit
as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the
limiting rate for all Organizational Units subject to
property tax extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
(A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
partially within a county that is or was subject to the
provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
which the homestead exemption allowed under Section

HB1863 Enrolled - 254 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
the total amount that would have been allowed in that
Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
(ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
taxable year of all additional exemptions under
Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
with a household income of $30,000 or less. The county
clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
Tax Code shall annually calculate and certify to the
Department of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all
homestead exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or
15-177 of the Property Tax Code and all amounts of
additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the
Property Tax Code for owners with a household income
of $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this
subparagraph (A) that if the general homestead
exemption for a parcel of property is determined under
Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
EAV shall not be affected by the difference, if any,
between the amount of the general homestead exemption

HB1863 Enrolled - 255 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
allowed for that parcel of property under Section
15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the
amount that would have been allowed had the general
homestead exemption for that parcel of property been
determined under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
Code. It is further the intent of this subparagraph
(A) that if additional exemptions are allowed under
Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
with a household income of less than $30,000, then the
calculation of EAV shall not be affected by the
difference, if any, because of those additional
exemptions.
(B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
which a municipality has adopted tax increment
allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
real property located in any such project area that is
attributable to an increase above the total initial
EAV of such property shall be used as part of the EAV
of the Organizational Unit, until such time as all
redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment

HB1863 Enrolled - 256 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose
of the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total
initial EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower,
shall be used until such time as all redevelopment
project costs have been paid.
(B-5) The real property equalized assessed
valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a
district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or
by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the
amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
percentage rates for district type as specified in
this subparagraph (B-5).
(C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
for property within the partial elementary unit
district for elementary purposes, as defined in

HB1863 Enrolled - 257 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
assessed valuation for property within the partial
elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
defined in Article 11E of this Code.
(D) If a school district's boundaries span
multiple counties, then the Department of Revenue
shall send to the State Board, for the purposes of
calculating Evidence-Based Funding, the limiting rate
and individual rates by purpose for the county that
contains the majority of the school district's
equalized assessed valuation.
(4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
or the lesser of its EAV in the immediately preceding year
or the average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3
years if the EAV in the immediately preceding year has
declined by 10% or more when comparing the 2 most recent
years. In the event of Organizational Unit reorganization,
consolidation, or annexation, the Organizational Unit's
Adjusted EAV for the first 3 years after such change shall
be as follows: the most current EAV shall be used in the
first year, the average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the
immediately preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or
more when comparing the 2 most recent years for the second
year, and the lesser of a 3-year average EAV or its EAV in
the immediately preceding year if the Adjusted EAV

HB1863 Enrolled - 258 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
declines by 10% or more when comparing the 2 most recent
years for the third year. For any school district whose
EAV in the immediately preceding year is used in
calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
that year represents a decline of 10% or more when
comparing the 2 most recent years.
"PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding
under this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved
or does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant
to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the
Base Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product
of the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the

HB1863 Enrolled - 259 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
United States Department of Labor for the 12-month
calendar year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the
equalized assessed valuation of new property, annexed
property, and recovered tax increment value and minus the
equalized assessed valuation of disconnected property.
As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
"recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings
set forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
(e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
(1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
specified appropriation amounts described in this
paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated
by the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code
(now repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act
99-524 (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code
(funding for children requiring special education
services); Section 14-13.01 of this Code (special
education facilities and staffing), except for
reimbursement of the cost of transportation pursuant to
Section 14-13.01; Section 14C-12 of this Code (English

HB1863 Enrolled - 260 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
learners); and Section 18-4.3 of this Code (summer
school), based on an appropriation level of $13,121,600.
For a school district organized under Article 34 of this
Code, the Base Funding Minimum also includes (i) the funds
allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
of this Code attributable to funding programs authorized
by the Sections of this Code listed in the preceding
sentence and (ii) the difference between (I) the funds
allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
of this Code attributable to the funding programs
authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public special
education reimbursement), subsection (b) of Section
14-13.01 (special education transportation), Section 29-5
(transportation), Section 2-3.80 (agricultural
education), Section 2-3.66 (truants' alternative
education), Section 2-3.62 (educational service centers),
and Section 14-7.03 (special education - orphanage) of
this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood Hunger Relief
Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the school
district's actual expenditures for its non-public special
education, special education transportation,
transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
alternative education, services that would otherwise be
performed by a regional office of education, special
education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
most recently calculated and reported pursuant to

HB1863 Enrolled - 261 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $952,014.
For programs operated by a regional office of education or
an intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum
must be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) and
administered by a regional office of education or an
intermediate service center must have an initial Base
Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
operated by a regional office of education or an
intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
Organizational Units under subsection (g).
(2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
any amount received by a school district pursuant to

HB1863 Enrolled - 262 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
For the 2022-2023 school year, the Base Funding
Minimum of Organizational Units shall be the amounts
recalculated by the State Board of Education for Fiscal
Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2022 that were necessary due
to average student enrollment errors for districts
organized under Article 34 of this Code, plus the Fiscal
Year 2022 property tax relief grants provided under
Section 2-3.170 of this Code, ensuring each Organizational
Unit has the correct amount of resources for Fiscal Year
2023 Evidence-Based Funding calculations and that Fiscal
Year 2023 Evidence-Based Funding Distributions are made in
accordance with this Section.
(3) Subject to approval by the General Assembly as
provided in this paragraph (3), an Organizational Unit
that meets all of the following criteria, as determined by
the State Board, shall have District Intervention Money
added to its Base Funding Minimum at the time the Base
Funding Minimum is calculated by the State Board:
(A) The Organizational Unit is operating under an
Independent Authority under Section 2-3.25f-5 of this
Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
order for a minimum of 4 school years.
(B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous

HB1863 Enrolled - 263 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
school year under paragraph (3) of subsection (g) of
this Section.
(C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
sustainability through a 5-year financial and
strategic plan.
(D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
summative designation, any accreditations of the
Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
If the State Board determines that an Organizational
Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board
makes it determination, on the amount of District
Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of

HB1863 Enrolled - 264 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
District Intervention Money to be added to the
Organizational Unit's Base Funding Minimum, the District
Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
Minimum annually thereafter.
For the first 4 years following the initial year that
the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
received funding under this Section, the Organizational
Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
(3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
year and the approved budget financial data for the
current year. The plan shall be developed according to the
guidelines presented to the Organizational Unit by the
State Board. The plan shall further include financial
projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
or other financial information as required by law, the
State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel

HB1863 Enrolled - 265 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the
Organizational Unit already has a Financial Oversight
Panel, the State Board may extend the duration of the
Panel.
(f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
(1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
this subsection (f).
(2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
(3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded

HB1863 Enrolled - 266 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
shall not include any portion of general State aid
allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
(4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
Percent of Adequacy.
(g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
(1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals

HB1863 Enrolled - 267 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding
equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
(g).
(2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for

HB1863 Enrolled - 268 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
all Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational
Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
(3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
tiers as follows:
(A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
of this subsection (g).
(B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
other Organizational Units, except for Specially
Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than

HB1863 Enrolled - 269 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
0.90.
(C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
(D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
(4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
determined as follows:
(A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
(B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
Organizational Units, unless the result of such
equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
Allocation Rate is 1.0.
(C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
Organizational Units.
(D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
Organizational Units.
(5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
(A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that

HB1863 Enrolled - 270 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
(B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
(C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
(6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
funding may be identified.
(7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
Tier 4 Organizational Units.
(8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
100-465 from any of the funding sources included within
the definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
year ASE of the Organizational Units.
(8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
school district and the cooperative must include the

HB1863 Enrolled - 271 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be
reapportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify the
State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement upon
withdrawal.
(9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
a target for State funding that will keep pace with
inflation and continue to advance equity through the
Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
$50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
$350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
counted toward the Minimum Funding Level. If the sum of
New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax Relief
Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level, than
funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
manner:
(A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
(B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is

HB1863 Enrolled - 272 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
exhausted.
(C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
Tier 4 and Tier 3.
(D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
(9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated
for purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a
maximum of $50,000,000.
(10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
received in accordance with this Section in the prior

HB1863 Enrolled - 273 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
established in the first year of implementation of this
Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
(11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to
the nearest whole dollar.
(h) State Superintendent administration of funding and
district submission requirements.
(1) The State Superintendent shall, in accordance with
appropriations made by the General Assembly, meet the
funding obligations created under this Section.

HB1863 Enrolled - 274 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit under this
Section. No Evidence-Based Funding shall be distributed
within an Organizational Unit without the approval of the
unit's school board.
(3) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
and report to each Organizational Unit the unit's
aggregate financial adequacy amount, which shall be the
sum of the Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit.
The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
separately for each Organizational Unit the unit's total
State funds allocated for its students with disabilities.
The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
separately for each Organizational Unit the amount of
funding and applicable FTE calculated for each Essential
Element of the unit's Adequacy Target.
(4) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
and report to each Organizational Unit the amount the unit
must expend on special education and bilingual education
and computer technology and equipment for Organizational
Units assigned to Tier 1 or Tier 2 that received an
additional $285.50 per student computer technology and
equipment investment grant to their Adequacy Target
pursuant to the unit's Base Funding Minimum, Special
Education Allocation, Bilingual Education Allocation, and
computer technology and equipment investment allocation.

HB1863 Enrolled - 275 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(5) Moneys distributed under this Section shall be
calculated on a school year basis, but paid on a fiscal
year basis, with payments beginning in August and
extending through June. Unless otherwise provided, the
moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be
distributed in 22 equal payments at least 2 times monthly
to each Organizational Unit. If moneys appropriated for
any fiscal year are distributed other than monthly, the
distribution shall be on the same basis for each
Organizational Unit.
(6) Any school district that fails, for any given
school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment
of the school district. "Recognized school" means any
public school that meets the standards for recognition by
the State Board. A school district or attendance center
not having recognition status at the end of a school term
is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
claim that was filed while it was recognized.
(7) School district claims filed under this Section
are subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12 of this Code,

HB1863 Enrolled - 276 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(8) Each fiscal year, the State Superintendent shall
calculate for each Organizational Unit an amount of its
Base Funding Minimum and Evidence-Based Funding that shall
be deemed attributable to the provision of special
educational facilities and services, as defined in Section
14-1.08 of this Code, in a manner that ensures compliance
with maintenance of State financial support requirements
under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act. An Organizational Unit must use such funds only for
the provision of special educational facilities and
services, as defined in Section 14-1.08 of this Code, and
must comply with any expenditure verification procedures
adopted by the State Board.
(9) All Organizational Units in this State must submit
annual spending plans, as part of the budget submission
process, no later than October 31 of each year to the State
Board. The spending plan shall describe how each
Organizational Unit will utilize the Base Funding Minimum
and Evidence-Based Funding it receives from this State
under this Section with specific identification of the
intended utilization of Low-Income, English learner, and
special education resources. Additionally, the annual
spending plans of each Organizational Unit shall describe
how the Organizational Unit expects to achieve student
growth and how the Organizational Unit will achieve State

HB1863 Enrolled - 277 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
education goals, as defined by the State Board, and shall
indicate which stakeholder groups the Organizational Unit
engaged with to inform its annual spending plans. The
State Superintendent may, from time to time, identify
additional requisites for Organizational Units to satisfy
when compiling the annual spending plans required under
this subsection (h). The format and scope of annual
spending plans shall be developed by the State
Superintendent and the State Board of Education. School
districts that serve students under Article 14C of this
Code shall continue to submit information as required
under Section 14C-12 of this Code. Annual spending plans
required under this subsection (h) shall be integrated
into annual school district budgets completed pursuant to
Section 17-1 or Section 34-43. Organizational Units that
do not submit a budget to the State Board shall be provided
with a separate planning template developed by the State
Board. The State Board shall create an Evidence-Based
Funding spending plan tool to make Evidence-Based Funding
spending plan data for each Organizational Unit available
on the State Board's website no later than December 31,
2025, with annual updates thereafter. The tool shall allow
for the selection and review of each Organizational Unit's
planned use of Evidence-Based Funding.
(10) No later than January 1, 2018, the State
Superintendent shall develop a 5-year strategic plan for

HB1863 Enrolled - 278 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
all Organizational Units to help in planning for adequacy
funding under this Section. The State Superintendent shall
submit the plan to the Governor and the General Assembly,
as provided in Section 3.1 of the General Assembly
Organization Act. The plan shall include recommendations
for:
(A) a framework for collaborative, professional,
innovative, and 21st century learning environments
using the Evidence-Based Funding model;
(B) ways to prepare and support this State's
educators for successful instructional careers;
(C) application and enhancement of the current
financial accountability measures, the approved State
plan to comply with the federal Every Student Succeeds
Act, and the Illinois Balanced Accountability Measures
in relation to student growth and elements of the
Evidence-Based Funding model; and
(D) implementation of an effective school adequacy
funding system based on projected and recommended
funding levels from the General Assembly.
(11) On an annual basis, the State Superintendent must
recalibrate all of the following per pupil elements of the
Adequacy Target and applied to the formulas, based on the
study of average expenses and as reported in the most
recent annual financial report:

Funding model, including an assessment of whether or not
the formula is achieving State goals. The Panel shall
report to the State Board, the General Assembly, and the
Governor on the findings of the study.
(6) (Blank).
(7) To ensure that (i) the Adequacy Target calculation
under subsection (b) accurately reflects the needs of
students living in poverty or attending schools located in
areas of high poverty, (ii) racial equity within the
Evidence-Based Funding formula is explicitly explored and
advanced, and (iii) the funding goals of the formula
distribution system established under this Section are
sufficient to provide adequate funding for every student
and to fully fund every school in this State, the Panel
shall review the Essential Elements under paragraph (2) of

following in its review:

HB1863 Enrolled - 284 - LRB104 10416 BDA 20491 b
(A) The financial ability of school districts to
provide instruction in a foreign language to every
student and whether an additional Essential Element
should be added to the formula to ensure that every
student has access to instruction in a foreign
language.
(B) The adult-to-student ratio for each Essential
Element in which a ratio is identified. The Panel
shall consider whether the ratio accurately reflects
the staffing needed to support students living in
poverty or who have traumatic backgrounds.

been previously out of school. These outcomes shall
include enrollment, attendance, skill gains, credit
gains, graduation or promotion to the next grade
level, and the transition to college, training, or
employment, with an emphasis on progressively
increasing the overall attendance.
(H) The evidence-based or research-based practices
that are shown to reduce the gaps and disparities
experienced by African American students in academic
achievement and educational performance, including
practices that have been shown to reduce disparities
in disciplinary rates, drop-out rates, graduation
rates, college matriculation rates, and college
completion rates.
On or before December 31, 2021, the Panel shall report
to the State Board, the General Assembly, and the Governor
on the findings of its review. This paragraph (7) is
inoperative on and after July 1, 2022.
