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 In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section | ||||||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16 | incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the | ||||||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

2 | Acts not included in the list of sources. The list of sources | ||||||
3 | is not a part of the text of the Section. | ||||||

5 | exceptions because of other legislation pending action by the | ||||||
6 | Governor, were considered in the preparation of the combining | ||||||
7 | revisories included in this Act. Many of those combining | ||||||
8 | revisories contain no striking or underscoring because no | ||||||
9 | additional changes are being made in the material that is being | ||||||
10 | combined.

| ||||||
13 | (a) When a person requests a copy of a record maintained in | ||||||

15 | electronic format specified by the requester, if feasible. If | ||||||
16 | it is not feasible to furnish the public records in the | ||||||
17 | specified electronic format, then the public body shall furnish | ||||||
18 | it in the format in which it is maintained by the public body, | ||||||
19 | or in paper format at the option of the requester. A public | ||||||
20 | body may charge the requester for the actual cost of purchasing | ||||||
21 | the recording medium, whether disc, diskette, tape, or other | ||||||
22 | medium. A public body may not charge the requester for the | ||||||
23 | costs of any search for and review of the records or other | ||||||
24 | personnel costs associated with reproducing the records. | ||||||
25 | Except to the extent that the General Assembly expressly |
| |||||||

3 | those records when furnished in an electronic format. | ||||||
4 | (b) Except when a fee is otherwise fixed by statute, each | ||||||
5 | public body may charge fees
reasonably
calculated to
reimburse
| ||||||
6 | its actual cost for reproducing and certifying public records | ||||||
7 | and for the
use, by any person, of the equipment of the public | ||||||
8 | body to copy records. No fees shall be charged for the first 50 | ||||||
9 | pages of black and white, letter or legal sized copies | ||||||
10 | requested by a requester. The fee for black and white, letter | ||||||
11 | or legal sized copies shall not exceed 15 cents per page. If a | ||||||
12 | public body provides copies in color or in a size other than | ||||||
13 | letter or legal, the public body may not charge more than its | ||||||
14 | actual cost for reproducing the records.
In calculating its | ||||||
15 | actual cost for reproducing records or for the use of the | ||||||
16 | equipment of the public body to reproduce records, a public | ||||||
17 | body shall not include the costs of any search for and review | ||||||
18 | of the records or other personnel costs associated with | ||||||
19 | reproducing the records. Such fees shall be imposed
according | ||||||
20 | to a standard scale of fees, established and made public by the
| ||||||
21 | body imposing them. The cost for certifying a record shall not | ||||||
22 | exceed $1.
| ||||||
23 | (c) Documents shall be furnished without charge or at a | ||||||
24 | reduced
charge, as determined by the public body, if the person | ||||||
25 | requesting the
documents states the specific purpose for the | ||||||
26 | request and indicates that a
waiver or reduction of the fee is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the public interest. Waiver or
reduction of the fee is in | ||||||
2 | the public interest if the principal purpose of
the request is | ||||||
3 | to access and disseminate information regarding the health,
| ||||||
4 | safety and welfare or the legal rights of the general public | ||||||
5 | and is not for
the principal purpose of personal or commercial | ||||||
6 | benefit.
For purposes of this subsection, "commercial benefit" | ||||||
7 | shall not apply to
requests
made by news media when the | ||||||
8 | principal purpose of the request is to access and
disseminate | ||||||
9 | information regarding the health, safety, and welfare or the | ||||||
10 | legal
rights of the general public.
In setting the
amount of | ||||||
11 | the waiver or reduction, the public body may take into
| ||||||
12 | consideration the amount of materials requested and the cost of | ||||||
13 | copying
them.
| ||||||
14 | (d) The imposition of a fee not consistent with subsections
| ||||||
15 | (6)(a) and (b) of this Act constitutes a denial of access to | ||||||
16 | public
records for the purposes of judicial review.
| ||||||
17 | (e) (d) The fee for each abstract of a driver's record | ||||||
18 | shall be as provided
in Section 6-118 of "The Illinois Vehicle | ||||||
19 | Code", approved September 29,
1969, as amended, whether | ||||||
20 | furnished as a paper copy or as an electronic copy.

Delegates and alternate delegates to national | ||||||
16 | nominating
conventions shall be chosen according to one of the | ||||||
17 | following alternative
methods of allocating delegates for | ||||||
18 | election. The State central committee
of each political party | ||||||
19 | established pursuant to this Article 7 shall certify
to the | ||||||
20 | State Board of Elections, not less than 30 days prior to the | ||||||
21 | first
date for filing of petitions for election as delegate or | ||||||
22 | alternate delegate
to a national nominating convention, which | ||||||
23 | of the following alternatives
it wishes to be utilized in | ||||||
24 | allocating the delegates and alternate delegates
to which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois will be entitled at its national nominating | ||||||
2 | convention.
The State Board of Elections shall meet promptly | ||||||
3 | and, not less than 20 days
prior to the first date for filing | ||||||
4 | of such petitions, shall publish and
certify to the county | ||||||
5 | clerk in each county the number of delegates or alternate
| ||||||
6 | delegates to be elected from each congressional district or | ||||||
7 | from the State
at large or State convention of a political | ||||||
8 | party, as the case may be,
according to the method chosen by | ||||||
9 | each State central committee. If
a State central committee | ||||||
10 | fails to certify to the State Board of
Elections its choice of | ||||||
11 | one of the following methods prior to the
aforementioned | ||||||
12 | meeting of the State Board of Elections, the State Board
of | ||||||
13 | Elections shall certify delegates for that political party | ||||||
14 | pursuant
to whichever of the alternatives below was used by | ||||||
15 | that political party
pursuant to whichever of the alternatives | ||||||
16 | below was used by that
political party in the most recent year | ||||||
17 | in which delegates were
selected, subject to any subsequent | ||||||
18 | amendments.
| ||||||
19 | Prior to the aforementioned meeting of the State Board of | ||||||
20 | Elections at
which the Board shall publish and certify to the | ||||||
21 | county clerk the number
of delegates or alternate delegates to | ||||||
22 | be elected from each congressional
district or the State at | ||||||
23 | large or State convention, the Secretary of State
shall | ||||||
24 | ascertain from the call of the national convention of each | ||||||
25 | political
party the number of delegates and alternate delegates | ||||||
26 | to which Illinois
will be entitled at the respective national |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | nominating conventions. The
Secretary of State shall report the | ||||||
2 | number
of delegates and alternate delegates to which Illinois | ||||||
3 | will be entitled
at the respective national nominating | ||||||
4 | conventions to the State Board of
Elections convened as | ||||||
5 | aforesaid to be utilized by the State Board of
Elections in | ||||||
6 | calculating the number of delegates and alternates to be
| ||||||
7 | elected from each congressional district in the State at large | ||||||
8 | or State
convention, as the case may be.
| ||||||
9 | Alternative A: The State Board of Elections shall allocate | ||||||
10 | the number of
delegates and alternate delegates to which the | ||||||
11 | State is entitled among the
congressional districts in the | ||||||
12 | State.
| ||||||
13 | 1. Of the number of delegates to which the State is | ||||||
14 | entitled, 10, plus
those remaining unallocated under paragraph | ||||||
15 | 2, shall be delegates at large.
The State central committee of | ||||||
16 | the appropriate political party shall determine
whether the | ||||||
17 | delegates at large shall be (a) elected in the primary from
the | ||||||
18 | State at large, (b) selected by the State convention, or (c) | ||||||
19 | chosen
by a combination of these 2 methods. If the State | ||||||
20 | central committee determines
that all or a specified number of | ||||||
21 | the delegates at large shall be elected
in the primary, the | ||||||
22 | committee shall file with the Board a report of such
| ||||||
23 | determination at the same time it certifies the alternative it | ||||||
24 | wishes to
use in allocating its delegates.
| ||||||
25 | 2. All delegates other than the delegates at large shall be | ||||||
26 | elected from
the congressional districts. Two delegates shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be allocated from this
number to each district. After reserving | ||||||
2 | 10 delegates to be delegates at
large and allocating 2 | ||||||
3 | delegates to each district, the Board shall allocate
the | ||||||
4 | remaining delegates to the congressional districts pursuant to | ||||||
5 | the
following formula:
| ||||||
6 | (a) For each district, the number of remaining | ||||||
7 | delegates shall be multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator | ||||||
8 | of which is the vote cast in the congressional
district for | ||||||
9 | the party's nominee in the last Presidential election, and
| ||||||
10 | the denominator of which is the vote cast in the State for | ||||||
11 | the party's nominee
in the last Presidential election.
| ||||||
12 | (b) The Board shall first allocate to each district a | ||||||
13 | number of delegates
equal to the whole number in the | ||||||
14 | product resulting from the multiplication
procedure in | ||||||
15 | subparagraph (a).
| ||||||
16 | (c) The Board shall then allocate any remaining | ||||||
17 | delegates, one to each
district, in the order of the | ||||||
18 | largest fractional remainder in the product
resulting from | ||||||
19 | the multiplication procedure in subparagraph (a), omitting
| ||||||
20 | those districts for which that product is less than 1.875.
| ||||||
21 | (d) The Board shall then allocate any remaining | ||||||
22 | delegates, one to each
district, in the order of the | ||||||
23 | largest fractional remainder in the product
resulting from | ||||||
24 | the multiplication procedure in subparagraph (a), among | ||||||
25 | those
districts for which that product is at least one but | ||||||
26 | less than 1.875.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) Any delegates remaining unallocated shall be | ||||||
2 | delegates at large and
shall be selected as determined by | ||||||
3 | the State central committee under paragraph
1 of this | ||||||
4 | Alternative A.
| ||||||
5 | 3. The alternate delegates at large shall be allocated in | ||||||
6 | the same manner
as the delegates at large. The alternate | ||||||
7 | delegates other than the alternate
delegates at large shall be | ||||||
8 | allocated in the same manner as the delegates
other than the | ||||||
9 | delegates at large.
| ||||||
10 | Alternative B: the chairman of the State central committee | ||||||
11 | shall file
with the State Board of Elections a statement of the | ||||||
12 | number of delegates
and alternate delegates to which the State | ||||||
13 | is entitled and the number of
such delegates and alternate | ||||||
14 | delegates to be elected from congressional
districts. The State | ||||||
15 | Board of Elections shall allocate such number of
delegates and | ||||||
16 | alternate delegates, as the case may be, among the
| ||||||
17 | congressional districts in the State for election from the | ||||||
18 | congressional districts.
| ||||||
19 | The Board shall utilize the sum of 1/3 of each of the | ||||||
20 | following formulae
to determine the number of delegates and | ||||||
21 | alternate delegates, as the case
may be, to be elected from | ||||||
22 | each congressional district:
| ||||||
23 | (1) Formula 1 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs | ||||||
24 | (a) a , (b), b and (c)
c together as follows:
| ||||||
25 | (a) The fraction derived by dividing the population of | ||||||
26 | the district by
the population of the State and adding to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that fraction the following: 1/2
of the fraction calculated | ||||||
2 | by dividing the total district vote for the party's
| ||||||
3 | candidate in the most recent presidential election by the | ||||||
4 | total statewide
vote for that candidate in that election, | ||||||
5 | plus 1/2 of the fraction calculated
by dividing the total | ||||||
6 | district vote for the party's candidate in the second
most | ||||||
7 | recent Presidential election by the total statewide vote | ||||||
8 | for that
candidate in that election;
| ||||||
9 | (b) 1/2;
| ||||||
10 | (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as | ||||||
11 | the case may be,
to which the State is entitled at the | ||||||
12 | party's national nominating convention.
| ||||||
13 | (2) Formula 2 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs | ||||||
14 | (a) a , (b), b and (c)
c together as follows:
| ||||||
15 | (a) The fraction calculated by dividing the total | ||||||
16 | numbers of votes in
the district for the party's candidate | ||||||
17 | in the most recent Gubernatorial
election by the total | ||||||
18 | statewide vote for that candidate in that election,
plus, | ||||||
19 | the fraction calculated by dividing the total district vote | ||||||
20 | for the
party's candidate in the most recent presidential | ||||||
21 | election by the total
statewide vote for that candidate in | ||||||
22 | that election ; .
| ||||||
23 | (b) 1/2;
| ||||||
24 | (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as | ||||||
25 | the case may be,
to which the State is entitled at the | ||||||
26 | party's national nominating convention.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) Formula 3 shall be determined by multiplying paragraphs | ||||||
2 | (a) a , (b), b and (c)
c together as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (a) 1/2 of the fraction calculated by dividing the | ||||||
4 | total district vote
for the party's candidate in the most | ||||||
5 | recent presidential election by the
total statewide vote | ||||||
6 | for that candidate in that election, plus 1/2 of the
| ||||||
7 | fraction calculated by dividing the total district vote for | ||||||
8 | the party's
candidate in the second most recent | ||||||
9 | presidential election by the total
statewide vote for that | ||||||
10 | candidate in that election. This sum shall be
added to the | ||||||
11 | fraction calculated by dividing the total voter | ||||||
12 | registration
of the party in the district by the total | ||||||
13 | voter registration of the party
in the State as of January | ||||||
14 | 1 of the year prior to the year in which the
national | ||||||
15 | nominating convention is held;
| ||||||
16 | (b) 1/2;
| ||||||
17 | (c) The number of delegates or alternate delegates, as | ||||||
18 | the case may be,
to which the State is entitled at the | ||||||
19 | party's national nominating convention.
| ||||||
20 | Fractional numbers of delegates and alternate delegates | ||||||
21 | shall be rounded
upward in rank order to the next whole number, | ||||||
22 | largest fraction first, until
the total number of delegates and | ||||||
23 | alternate delegates, respectively, to
be so chosen have been | ||||||
24 | allocated.
| ||||||
25 | The remainder of the delegates and alternate delegates | ||||||
26 | shall be selected
as determined by the State central committee |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the party and shall be
certified to the State Board of | ||||||
2 | Elections by the chairman of the State central
committee.
| ||||||
3 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, | ||||||
4 | with
respect to all aspects of the selection of delegates and | ||||||
5 | alternate delegates
to a national nominating convention under | ||||||
6 | Alternative B, this Code shall be superseded
superceded by the | ||||||
7 | delegate selection rules and policies of the
national political | ||||||
8 | party including, but not limited to, the development of
an | ||||||
9 | affirmative action plan.

| ||||||
2 | Sec. 50-5. Governor to submit State budget. The Governor | ||||||

10 | revenues from taxation, the
estimated revenues from sources | ||||||
11 | other than taxation, and an estimate of the
amount required to | ||||||
12 | be raised by taxation. The amounts recommended by the
Governor | ||||||
13 | for appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
| ||||||
14 | institutions shall be formulated according to the various | ||||||
15 | functions and
activities for which the respective department, | ||||||
16 | office or institution of
the State government (including the | ||||||
17 | elective officers in the executive
department and including the | ||||||
18 | University of Illinois and the judicial
department) is | ||||||
19 | responsible. The amounts relating to particular functions
and | ||||||
20 | activities shall be further formulated in accordance with the | ||||||
21 | object
classification specified in Section 13 of the State | ||||||
22 | Finance Act.
| ||||||
23 | The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General | ||||||
24 | Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the | ||||||
25 | resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section.
| ||||||
2 | For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
| ||||||
3 | Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds | ||||||
4 | shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure | ||||||
5 | measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally | ||||||
6 | accepted accounting principles for governments:
| ||||||
7 | (1) General Revenue Fund.
| ||||||
8 | (2) Common School Fund.
| ||||||
9 | (3) Educational Assistance Fund.
| ||||||
10 | (4) Road Fund.
| ||||||
11 | (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
| ||||||
12 | (6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
| ||||||
13 | These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The | ||||||
14 | revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted | ||||||
15 | funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
| ||||||
16 | revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, | ||||||
17 | plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the | ||||||
18 | budgeted year that are expected to
be collected during the | ||||||
19 | lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts | ||||||
20 | collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that | ||||||
21 | became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. | ||||||
22 | Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements | ||||||
23 | associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State | ||||||
24 | Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which | ||||||
25 | current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, | ||||||
26 | the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year.
| ||||||
2 | Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in | ||||||
3 | the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the | ||||||
4 | State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal | ||||||
5 | year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were | ||||||
6 | carried over from the prior year, where the payment is | ||||||
7 | authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any | ||||||
8 | budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed | ||||||
9 | revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be | ||||||
10 | considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year.
| ||||||
11 | Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers | ||||||
12 | between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs | ||||||
13 | incurred during the budget year.
| ||||||
14 | Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all | ||||||
15 | anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations | ||||||
16 | that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal | ||||||
17 | year. | ||||||
18 | By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government | ||||||
19 | Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund | ||||||
20 | transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
| ||||||
21 | Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and | ||||||
22 | the Governor.
| ||||||
23 | For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed | ||||||
24 | expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available | ||||||
25 | for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a | ||||||
26 | fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly to be available during that year.

4 | Section 45. The Attorney General Act is amended by changing | ||||||
5 | Section 7 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (15 ILCS 205/7) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 7. Public Access Counselor. | ||||||
8 | (a) The General Assembly finds that members of the public | ||||||
9 | have encountered obstacles in obtaining copies of public | ||||||
10 | records from units of government, and that many of those | ||||||
11 | obstacles result from difficulties that both members of the | ||||||
12 | public and public bodies have had in interpreting and applying | ||||||
13 | the Freedom of Information Act. The General Assembly further | ||||||
14 | finds that members of the public have encountered difficulties | ||||||
15 | in resolving alleged violations of the Open Meetings Act. The | ||||||
16 | public's significant interest in access to public records and | ||||||
17 | in open meetings would be better served if there were a central | ||||||
18 | office available to provide advice and education with respect | ||||||
19 | to the interpretation and implementation of the Freedom of | ||||||
20 | Information Act and the Open Meetings Act. | ||||||
21 | (b) Therefore, there is created in the Office of the | ||||||
22 | Attorney General the Office of Public Access Counselor. The | ||||||
23 | Attorney General shall appoint a Public Access Counselor, who | ||||||
24 | shall be an attorney licensed to practice in Illinois. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Public Access Counselor's Office shall be comprised of the | ||||||
2 | Public Access Counselor and such assistant attorneys general | ||||||
3 | and other staff as are deemed necessary by the Attorney | ||||||
4 | General. | ||||||
5 | (c) Through the Public Access Counselor, the Attorney | ||||||
6 | General shall have the power: | ||||||
7 | (1) to establish and administer a program to provide | ||||||
8 | free training for public officials and to educate the | ||||||
9 | public on the rights of the public and the responsibilities | ||||||
10 | of public bodies under the Freedom of Information Act and | ||||||
11 | the Open Meetings Act; | ||||||
12 | (2) to prepare and distribute interpretive or | ||||||
13 | educational materials and programs; | ||||||
14 | (3) to resolve disputes involving a potential | ||||||
15 | violation of the Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of | ||||||
16 | Information Act in response to a request for review | ||||||
17 | initiated by an aggrieved party, as provided in those Acts, | ||||||
18 | by mediating or otherwise informally resolving the dispute | ||||||
19 | or by issuing a binding opinion; except that the Attorney | ||||||
20 | General may not issue an opinion concerning a specific | ||||||
21 | matter with respect to which a lawsuit has been filed under | ||||||
22 | Section 3 of the Open Meetings Act or Section 11 of the | ||||||
23 | Freedom of Information Act; | ||||||
24 | (4) to issue advisory opinions with respect to the Open | ||||||
25 | Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act either in | ||||||
26 | response to a request for review or otherwise; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (5) to respond to informal inquiries made by the public | ||||||
2 | and public bodies; | ||||||
3 | (6) to conduct research on compliance issues; | ||||||
4 | (7) to make recommendations to the General Assembly | ||||||
5 | concerning ways to improve access to public records and | ||||||
6 | public access to the processes of government; | ||||||
7 | (8) to develop and make available on the Attorney | ||||||
8 | General's website or by other means an electronic training | ||||||
9 | curriculum for Freedom of Information officers; | ||||||
10 | (9) to develop and make available on the Attorney | ||||||
11 | General's website or by other means an electronic Open | ||||||
12 | Meetings Act training curriculum for employees, officers, | ||||||
13 | and members designated by public bodies; | ||||||
14 | (10) to prepare and distribute to public bodies model | ||||||
15 | policies for compliance with the Freedom of Information | ||||||
16 | Act; and | ||||||
17 | (11) to promulgate rules to implement these powers. | ||||||
18 | (d) To accomplish the objectives and to carry out the | ||||||
19 | duties prescribed by this Section, the Public Access Counselor, | ||||||
20 | in addition to other powers conferred upon him or her by this | ||||||
21 | Section, may request that subpoenas be issued by the Attorney | ||||||
22 | General in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 of the | ||||||
23 | Freedom of Information Act and Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings | ||||||
24 | Act. Service by the Attorney General of any subpoena upon any | ||||||
25 | person shall be made: | ||||||
26 | (1) (i) personally by delivery of a duly executed copy |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | thereof to the person to be served, or in the case of a | ||||||
2 | public body, in the manner provided in Section 2-211 of the | ||||||
3 | Code of Civil Procedure Civil Practice Law ; or | ||||||
4 | (2) (ii) by mailing by certified mail a duly executed | ||||||
5 | copy thereof to the person to be served at his or her last | ||||||
6 | known abode or, in the case of a public body, to its | ||||||
7 | principal place of business. | ||||||
8 | (e) If any person or public body fails or refuses to obey | ||||||
9 | any subpoena issued pursuant to this Section, the Attorney | ||||||
10 | General may file a complaint in the circuit court to: | ||||||
11 | (1) (i) obtain compliance with the subpoena; | ||||||
12 | (2) (ii) obtain injunctive relief to prevent a | ||||||
13 | violation of the Open Meetings Act or Freedom of | ||||||
14 | Information Act; and | ||||||
15 | (3) (iii) obtain such other relief as may be required. | ||||||
16 | (f) The Attorney General has the authority to file an | ||||||
17 | action in the circuit court of Cook or Sangamon County for | ||||||
18 | injunctive or other relief to compel compliance with a binding | ||||||
19 | opinion issued pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings Act | ||||||
20 | or Section 9.5 of the Freedom of Information Act, to prevent a | ||||||
21 | violation of the Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of | ||||||
22 | Information Act, and for such other relief as may be required. | ||||||
23 | (g) The Attorney General shall post his or her binding | ||||||
24 | opinions issued pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Open Meetings | ||||||
25 | Act or Section 9.5 of the Freedom of Information Act and any | ||||||

Governmental public health has a | ||||||

| ||||||
18 | The terms of Board of Health members shall be 3 years, | ||||||
19 | except that members shall continue to serve on the Board of | ||||||
20 | Health until a replacement is appointed. Upon the effective | ||||||
21 | date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, in | ||||||
22 | the appointment of the Board of Health members appointed to | ||||||
23 | vacancies or positions with terms expiring on or before | ||||||

| ||||||
12 | concurrent planning,
as described in subsection (l-1) | ||||||
13 | of this Section so that permanency may
occur at the | ||||||
14 | earliest opportunity. Consideration should be given so | ||||||

16 | placement made is the best available
placement to | ||||||
17 | provide permanency for the child;
| ||||||
18 | (G) (blank);
| ||||||
19 | (H) (blank); and

19 | that services and care shall be available
on an equal basis | ||||||
20 | throughout the State to children requiring such services.
| ||||||
21 | (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for | ||||||
22 | any new program

5 | bills. Advance
disbursement authorizations for new initiatives | ||||||
6 | shall not be made to any
agency after that agency has operated | ||||||
7 | during 2 consecutive fiscal years.
The requirements of this | ||||||
8 | Section concerning advance disbursements shall

| ||||||
6 | Rules and regulations established by the Department shall | ||||||

and drug abuse screening techniques | ||||||
10 | approved by the Department of Human
Services, as a successor to | ||||||
11 | the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse,
for the | ||||||

| ||||||
14 | professional evaluation.
| ||||||
15 | (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate | ||||||
16 | program or
facility within or available to the Department for a | ||||||
17 | ward and that no
licensed private facility has an adequate and | ||||||
18 | appropriate program or none
agrees to accept the ward, the | ||||||
19 | Department shall create an appropriate
individualized, | ||||||
20 | program-oriented plan for such ward. The
plan may be developed | ||||||
21 | within the Department or through purchase of services
by the | ||||||
22 | Department to the extent that it is within its statutory | ||||||
23 | authority
to do.
| ||||||
24 | (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the | ||||||

11 | (3) respite care; and
| ||||||

| ||||||
16 | (j) The Department may provide categories of financial | ||||||
17 | assistance and

| ||||||
18 | establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and | ||||||
19 | grants, to

adopt physically or mentally | ||||||
20 | handicapped, older and other hard-to-place
children who (i) | ||||||
21 | immediately prior to their adoption were legal wards of
the | ||||||
22 | Department
or (ii) were determined eligible for financial | ||||||
23 | assistance with respect to a
prior adoption and who become | ||||||
24 | available for adoption because the
prior adoption has been | ||||||
25 | dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive
parents have | ||||||
26 | been
terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | died.
The Department may continue to provide financial | ||||||
2 | assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was | ||||||
3 | determined eligible for financial assistance under this | ||||||
4 | subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's | ||||||
5 | adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the | ||||||
6 | new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or | ||||||
7 | parents. The Department may also provide categories of | ||||||
8 | financial
assistance and education assistance grants, and
| ||||||
9 | shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and | ||||||
10 | grants, to persons
appointed guardian of the person under | ||||||
11 | Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court
Act or Section 2-27, 3-28, | ||||||
12 | 4-25 or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
for children | ||||||
13 | who were wards of the Department for 12 months immediately
| ||||||
14 | prior to the appointment of the guardian.
| ||||||
15 | The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs | ||||||
16 | of the child
and the adoptive parents,
as set forth in the | ||||||
17 | annual
assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are | ||||||
18 | allowed where the child
requires special service but such costs | ||||||
19 | may not exceed the amounts
which similar services would cost | ||||||
20 | the Department if it were to provide or
secure them as guardian | ||||||
21 | of the child.
| ||||||
22 | Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
| ||||||
23 | inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment, | ||||||
24 | garnishment, or any
other remedy for recovery or collection of | ||||||
25 | a judgment or debt.
| ||||||
26 | (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of a child for
adoption
if an approved family is available | ||||||
2 | either outside of the Department region
handling the case,
or | ||||||
3 | outside of the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
4 | (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any | ||||||
5 | child who has
been adjudicated neglected or abused, or | ||||||
6 | dependent committed to it pursuant
to the Juvenile Court Act or | ||||||
7 | the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
| ||||||
8 | (l) The Department shall
offer family preservation | ||||||
9 | services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused
and
Neglected | ||||||
10 | Child
Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and | ||||||
11 | extended families.
Family preservation
services shall be | ||||||
12 | offered (i) to prevent the
placement
of children in
substitute | ||||||
13 | care when the children can be cared for at home or in the | ||||||
14 | custody of
the person
responsible for the children's welfare,
| ||||||
15 | (ii) to
reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
| ||||||
16 | maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services | ||||||
17 | shall only be
offered when doing so will not endanger the | ||||||
18 | children's health or safety. With
respect to children who are | ||||||
19 | in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987, | ||||||
20 | family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal | ||||||
21 | other
than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of | ||||||
22 | subsection (2) of Section 2-28
of
that Act has been set.
| ||||||
23 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a | ||||||
24 | private right of
action or claim on the part of any individual | ||||||
25 | or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the | ||||||
26 | subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to | ||||||
2 | facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court | ||||||
3 | hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
4 | of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set | ||||||
5 | out in the plan, if those services are not provided with | ||||||
6 | reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
| ||||||
7 | The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
| ||||||
8 | Department's
responsibility to offer and provide family | ||||||
9 | preservation services as
identified in the service plan. The | ||||||
10 | child and his family shall be eligible
for services as soon as | ||||||
11 | the report is determined to be "indicated". The
Department may | ||||||
12 | offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
| ||||||
13 | report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed, | ||||||
14 | prior to
concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the | ||||||
15 | Abused and Neglected
Child Reporting Act. However, the child's | ||||||
16 | or family's willingness to
accept services shall not be | ||||||
17 | considered in the investigation. The
Department may also | ||||||
18 | provide services to any child or family who is the
subject of | ||||||
19 | any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer | ||||||
20 | such
child or family to services available from other agencies | ||||||
21 | in the community,
even if the report is determined to be | ||||||
22 | unfounded, if the conditions in the
child's or family's home | ||||||
23 | are reasonably likely to subject the child or
family to future | ||||||
24 | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
of such | ||||||
25 | services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide | ||||||
26 | services to any child or family after completion of a family |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided | ||||||
2 | under the "differential response program" provided for in | ||||||
3 | subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected | ||||||
4 | Child Reporting Act.
| ||||||
5 | The Department may, at its discretion except for those | ||||||
6 | children also
adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for | ||||||
7 | care and training any child
who has been adjudicated addicted, | ||||||
8 | as a truant minor in need of
supervision or as a minor | ||||||
9 | requiring authoritative intervention, under the
Juvenile Court | ||||||
10 | Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child
shall | ||||||
11 | be committed to the Department by any court without the | ||||||
12 | approval of
the Department. A minor charged with a criminal | ||||||
13 | offense under the Criminal
Code of 1961 or adjudicated | ||||||
14 | delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
committed | ||||||
15 | to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor less than 15 | ||||||
16 | years
of age committed to the Department under Section 5-710 of | ||||||
17 | the Juvenile Court
Act
of 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an | ||||||
18 | independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, | ||||||
19 | which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a minor | ||||||
20 | for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to | ||||||
21 | reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 | ||||||
22 | of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists | ||||||
23 | when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
24 | dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or | ||||||
25 | circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of | ||||||
26 | delinquency.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 ( the effective | ||||||
2 | date of Public Act 96-134) this amendatory Act of the 96th | ||||||
3 | General Assembly , the Department shall develop and implement a | ||||||
4 | special program of family preservation services to support | ||||||
5 | intact, foster, and adoptive families who are experiencing | ||||||
6 | extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress of caring | ||||||
7 | for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive | ||||||
8 | developmental disorder if the Department determines that those | ||||||
9 | services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the | ||||||
10 | child. The Department may offer services to any family whether | ||||||
11 | or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected | ||||||
12 | Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or | ||||||
13 | family to services available from other agencies in the | ||||||
14 | community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are | ||||||
15 | reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future | ||||||
16 | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of | ||||||
17 | these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop | ||||||
18 | and implement a public information campaign to alert health and | ||||||
19 | social service providers and the general public about these | ||||||
20 | special family preservation services. The nature and scope of | ||||||
21 | the services offered and the number of families served under | ||||||
22 | the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be | ||||||
23 | determined by the level of funding that the Department annually | ||||||
24 | allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental | ||||||
25 | disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition, | ||||||
26 | including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and | ||||||
2 | Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American | ||||||
3 | Psychiatric Association. | ||||||
4 | (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of | ||||||
5 | the child
require that
the child be placed in the most | ||||||
6 | permanent living arrangement as soon as is
practically
| ||||||
7 | possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the | ||||||
8 | Department of
Children and
Family Services to conduct | ||||||
9 | concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at
the
| ||||||
10 | earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may | ||||||
11 | include prevention of
placement of a child outside the home of | ||||||
12 | the family when the child can be cared
for at
home without | ||||||
13 | endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with | ||||||
14 | the
family,
when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement | ||||||
15 | is necessary; or movement of
the child
toward the most | ||||||
16 | permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
| ||||||
17 | When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect | ||||||
18 | to a child, as
described in this
subsection, and in making such | ||||||
19 | reasonable efforts, the child's health and
safety shall be the
| ||||||
20 | paramount concern.
| ||||||
21 | When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall | ||||||
22 | ensure and
document that reasonable efforts were made to | ||||||
23 | prevent or eliminate the need to
remove the child from the | ||||||
24 | child's home. The Department must make
reasonable efforts to | ||||||
25 | reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
occurs
| ||||||
26 | unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of 1987.
At any time after the dispositional hearing where the | ||||||
2 | Department believes
that further reunification services would | ||||||
3 | be ineffective, it may request a
finding from the court that | ||||||
4 | reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The
Department is | ||||||
5 | not required to provide further reunification services after | ||||||
6 | such
a
finding.
| ||||||
7 | A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be | ||||||
8 | made with
considerations of the child's health, safety, and | ||||||
9 | best interests. At the
time of placement, consideration should | ||||||
10 | also be given so that if reunification
fails or is delayed, the | ||||||
11 | placement made is the best available placement to
provide | ||||||
12 | permanency for the child.
| ||||||
13 | The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent | ||||||
14 | planning for
reunification and permanency. The Department | ||||||
15 | shall consider the following
factors when determining | ||||||
16 | appropriateness of concurrent planning:
| ||||||
17 | (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
| ||||||
18 | (2) the past history of the family;
| ||||||
19 | (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by | ||||||
20 | the family;
| ||||||
21 | (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
| ||||||
22 | (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the | ||||||
23 | family to reunite;
| ||||||
24 | (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to | ||||||
25 | provide an
adoptive
home or long-term placement;
| ||||||
26 | (7) the age of the child;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (8) placement of siblings.
| ||||||
2 | (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any | ||||||
3 | child if:
| ||||||
4 | (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary | ||||||
5 | custody
signed by the parents of the child or by the parent | ||||||
6 | having custody of the
child if the parents are not living | ||||||
7 | together or by the guardian or
custodian of the child if | ||||||
8 | the child is not in the custody of either
parent, or
| ||||||
9 | (2) the child is found in the State and neither a | ||||||
10 | parent,
guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
| ||||||
11 | If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent, | ||||||
12 | guardian,
custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department | ||||||
13 | may, instead of removing
the child and assuming temporary | ||||||
14 | custody, place an authorized
representative of the Department | ||||||
15 | in that residence until such time as a
parent, guardian or | ||||||
16 | custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness
and | ||||||
17 | apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and | ||||||
18 | resume
permanent
charge of the child, or until a
relative | ||||||
19 | enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's | ||||||
20 | health
and
safety and assume charge of the
child until a | ||||||
21 | parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
| ||||||
22 | such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and | ||||||
23 | resume
permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the | ||||||
24 | home for a period not
to exceed 12 hours, the Department must | ||||||
25 | follow those procedures outlined in
Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or | ||||||
26 | 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities | ||||||
2 | and duties that
a legal custodian of the child would have | ||||||
3 | pursuant to subsection (9) of
Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court | ||||||
4 | Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken
into temporary custody | ||||||
5 | pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
Neglected | ||||||
6 | Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
| ||||||
7 | under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited | ||||||
8 | custody, the
Department, during the period of temporary custody | ||||||
9 | and before the child
is brought before a judicial officer as | ||||||
10 | required by Section 2-9, 3-11,
4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile | ||||||
11 | Court Act of 1987, shall have
the authority, responsibilities | ||||||
12 | and duties that a legal custodian of the child
would have under | ||||||
13 | subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
| ||||||
14 | 1987.
| ||||||
15 | The Department shall ensure that any child taken into | ||||||
16 | custody
is scheduled for an appointment for a medical | ||||||
17 | examination.
| ||||||
18 | A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary | ||||||
19 | custody of the
Department who would have custody of the child | ||||||
20 | if he were not in the
temporary custody of the Department may | ||||||
21 | deliver to the Department a signed
request that the Department | ||||||
22 | surrender the temporary custody of the child.
The Department | ||||||
23 | may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after
the | ||||||
24 | receipt of the request, during which period the Department may | ||||||
25 | cause to
be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
26 | of 1987. If a
petition is so filed, the Department shall retain |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | temporary custody of the
child until the court orders | ||||||
2 | otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
the 10 day period, | ||||||
3 | the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
requesting | ||||||
4 | parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
| ||||||
5 | the 10 day period, at which time the authority and duties of | ||||||
6 | the Department
with respect to the temporary custody of the | ||||||
7 | child shall terminate.
| ||||||
8 | (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of | ||||||
9 | age in a secure
child care facility licensed by the Department | ||||||
10 | that cares for children who are
in need of secure living | ||||||
11 | arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being
after a | ||||||
12 | determination is made by the facility director and the Director | ||||||
13 | or the
Director's designate prior to admission to the facility | ||||||
14 | subject to Section
2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. | ||||||
15 | This subsection (m-1) does not apply
to a child who is subject | ||||||
16 | to placement in a correctional facility operated
pursuant to | ||||||
17 | Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
| ||||||
18 | child is a ward who was placed under the care of the Department | ||||||
19 | before being
subject to placement in a correctional facility | ||||||
20 | and a court of competent
jurisdiction has ordered placement of | ||||||
21 | the child in a secure care facility.
| ||||||
22 | (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age | ||||||
23 | in
licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the | ||||||
24 | Department,
appropriate services aimed at family preservation | ||||||
25 | have been unsuccessful and
cannot ensure the child's health and | ||||||
26 | safety or are unavailable and such
placement would be for their |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | best interest. Payment
for board, clothing, care, training and | ||||||
2 | supervision of any child placed in
a licensed child care | ||||||
3 | facility may be made by the Department, by the
parents or | ||||||
4 | guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
| ||||||
5 | Department and the parents or guardians, except that no | ||||||
6 | payments shall be
made by the Department for any child placed | ||||||
7 | in a licensed child care
facility for board, clothing, care, | ||||||
8 | training and supervision of such a
child that exceed the | ||||||
9 | average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring
for a | ||||||
10 | child in institutions for dependent or neglected children | ||||||
11 | operated by
the Department. However, such restriction on | ||||||
12 | payments does not apply in
cases where children require | ||||||
13 | specialized care and treatment for problems of
severe emotional | ||||||
14 | disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or
any | ||||||
15 | combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement | ||||||
16 | of such
children are not available at payment rates within the | ||||||
17 | limitations set
forth in this Section. All reimbursements for | ||||||
18 | services delivered shall be
absolutely inalienable by | ||||||
19 | assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or
otherwise.
| ||||||
20 | (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child | ||||||
21 | welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve | ||||||
22 | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any | ||||||
23 | minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to | ||||||
24 | subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of | ||||||
25 | 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed, | ||||||
26 | provided that the minor consents to such services and has not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have | ||||||
2 | responsibility for the development and delivery of services | ||||||
3 | under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under | ||||||
4 | this Section through the Department of Children and Family | ||||||
5 | Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services. | ||||||
6 | Youth participating in services under this Section shall | ||||||
7 | cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an | ||||||
8 | agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the | ||||||
9 | youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A | ||||||
10 | homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any | ||||||
11 | youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The | ||||||
12 | Department shall continue child welfare services under this | ||||||
13 | Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years | ||||||
14 | of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves | ||||||
15 | self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The | ||||||
16 | Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear, | ||||||
17 | readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child | ||||||
18 | welfare services under this Section and how such services may | ||||||
19 | be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and | ||||||
20 | the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this | ||||||
21 | information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations | ||||||
22 | describing services intended to assist minors in achieving | ||||||
23 | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults. | ||||||
24 | (o) The Department shall establish an administrative | ||||||
25 | review and appeal
process for children and families who request | ||||||
26 | or receive child welfare
services from the Department. Children |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | who are wards of the Department and
are placed by private child | ||||||
2 | welfare agencies, and foster families with whom
those children | ||||||
3 | are placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
| ||||||
4 | rights as children and families in the case of placement by the | ||||||
5 | Department,
including the right to an initial review of a | ||||||
6 | private agency decision by
that agency. The Department shall | ||||||
7 | insure that any private child welfare
agency, which accepts | ||||||
8 | wards of the Department for placement, affords those
rights to | ||||||
9 | children and foster families. The Department shall accept for
| ||||||
10 | administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made by | ||||||
11 | (i) a child
or foster family concerning a decision following an | ||||||
12 | initial review by a
private child welfare agency or (ii) a | ||||||
13 | prospective adoptive parent who alleges
a violation of | ||||||
14 | subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
| ||||||
15 | concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be | ||||||
16 | conducted in an
expedited manner.
| ||||||
17 | (p) There is hereby created the Department of Children and | ||||||
18 | Family
Services Emergency Assistance Fund from which the | ||||||
19 | Department may provide
special financial assistance to | ||||||
20 | families which are in economic crisis when
such assistance is | ||||||
21 | not available through other public or private sources
and the | ||||||
22 | assistance is deemed necessary to prevent dissolution of the | ||||||
23 | family
unit or to reunite families which have been separated | ||||||
24 | due to child abuse and
neglect. The Department shall establish | ||||||
25 | administrative rules specifying
the criteria for determining | ||||||
26 | eligibility for and the amount and nature of
assistance to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provided. The Department may also enter into written
agreements | ||||||
2 | with private and public social service agencies to provide
| ||||||
3 | emergency financial services to families referred by the | ||||||
4 | Department.
Special financial assistance payments shall be | ||||||
5 | available to a family no
more than once during each fiscal year | ||||||
6 | and the total payments to a
family may not exceed $500 during a | ||||||
7 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
8 | (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety, | ||||||
9 | for the
benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of | ||||||
10 | money or other
property which is received on behalf of such | ||||||
11 | children, or any financial
benefits to which such children are | ||||||
12 | or may become entitled while under
the jurisdiction or care of | ||||||
13 | the Department.
| ||||||
14 | The Department shall set up and administer no-cost, | ||||||
15 | interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial | ||||||
16 | institutions
for children for whom the Department is legally | ||||||
17 | responsible and who have been
determined eligible for Veterans' | ||||||
18 | Benefits, Social Security benefits,
assistance allotments from | ||||||
19 | the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental
voluntary | ||||||
20 | payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
| ||||||
21 | payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous | ||||||
22 | payments. Interest
earned by each account shall be credited to | ||||||
23 | the account, unless
disbursed in accordance with this | ||||||
24 | subsection.
| ||||||
25 | In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the | ||||||
26 | Department
shall:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and | ||||||
2 | federal laws for
disbursing money from children's | ||||||
3 | accounts. In all
circumstances,
the Department's | ||||||
4 | "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
| ||||||
5 | approve disbursements from children's accounts. The | ||||||
6 | Department
shall be responsible for keeping complete | ||||||
7 | records of all disbursements for each account for any | ||||||
8 | purpose.
| ||||||
9 | (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from | ||||||
10 | State funds for the
child's board and care, medical care | ||||||
11 | not covered under Medicaid, and social
services; and | ||||||
12 | utilize funds from the child's account, as
covered by | ||||||
13 | regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly, | ||||||
14 | disbursements from
all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of | ||||||
15 | $13,000,000, shall be
deposited by the Department into the | ||||||
16 | General Revenue Fund and the balance over
1/12 of | ||||||
17 | $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
| ||||||
18 | (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing | ||||||
19 | for the child's costs
of care, as specified in item (2). | ||||||
20 | The balance shall accumulate in accordance
with relevant | ||||||
21 | State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child | ||||||
22 | or his
or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
| ||||||
23 | (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations | ||||||
24 | encouraging all adoption
agencies to voluntarily forward to the | ||||||
25 | Department or its agent names and
addresses of all persons who | ||||||
26 | have applied for and have been approved for
adoption of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hard-to-place or handicapped child and the names of such
| ||||||
2 | children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of such | ||||||
3 | names and
addresses shall be maintained by the Department or | ||||||
4 | its agent, and coded
lists which maintain the confidentiality | ||||||
5 | of the person seeking to adopt the
child and of the child shall | ||||||
6 | be made available, without charge, to every
adoption agency in | ||||||
7 | the State to assist the agencies in placing such
children for | ||||||
8 | adoption. The Department may delegate to an agent its duty to
| ||||||
9 | maintain and make available such lists. The Department shall | ||||||
10 | ensure that
such agent maintains the confidentiality of the | ||||||
11 | person seeking to adopt the
child and of the child.
| ||||||
12 | (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may | ||||||
13 | establish and
implement a program to reimburse Department and | ||||||
14 | private child welfare
agency foster parents licensed by the | ||||||
15 | Department of Children and Family
Services for damages | ||||||
16 | sustained by the foster parents as a result of the
malicious or | ||||||
17 | negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
| ||||||
18 | party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions | ||||||
19 | of foster
children to other individuals. Such coverage will be | ||||||
20 | secondary to the
foster parent liability insurance policy, if | ||||||
21 | applicable. The program shall
be funded through appropriations | ||||||
22 | from the General Revenue Fund,
specifically designated for such | ||||||
23 | purposes.
| ||||||
24 | (t) The Department shall perform home studies and | ||||||
25 | investigations and
shall exercise supervision over visitation | ||||||
26 | as ordered by a court pursuant
to the Illinois Marriage and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption
Act only if:
| ||||||
2 | (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
| ||||||
3 | directs the Department to perform such services; and
| ||||||
4 | (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
| ||||||
5 | the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its | ||||||
6 | reasonable costs for
providing such services in accordance | ||||||
7 | with Department rules, or has
determined that neither party | ||||||
8 | is financially able to pay.
| ||||||
9 | The Department shall provide written notification to the | ||||||
10 | court of the
specific arrangements for supervised visitation | ||||||
11 | and projected monthly costs
within 60 days of the court order. | ||||||
12 | The Department shall send to the court
information related to | ||||||
13 | the costs incurred except in cases where the court
has | ||||||
14 | determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court | ||||||
15 | may
order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
| ||||||
16 | (u) In addition to other information that must be provided, | ||||||
17 | whenever the Department places a child with a prospective | ||||||
18 | adoptive parent or parents or in a licensed foster home,
group | ||||||
19 | home, child care institution, or in a relative home, the | ||||||
20 | Department
shall provide to the prospective adoptive parent or | ||||||
21 | parents or other caretaker:
| ||||||
22 | (1) available detailed information concerning the | ||||||
23 | child's educational
and health history, copies of | ||||||
24 | immunization records (including insurance
and medical card | ||||||
25 | information), a history of the child's previous | ||||||
26 | placements,
if any, and reasons for placement changes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | excluding any information that
identifies or reveals the | ||||||
2 | location of any previous caretaker;
| ||||||
3 | (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client service | ||||||
4 | plan, including
any visitation arrangement, and all | ||||||
5 | amendments or revisions to it as
related to the child; and
| ||||||
6 | (3) information containing details of the child's | ||||||
7 | individualized
educational plan when the child is | ||||||
8 | receiving special education services.
| ||||||
9 | The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or | ||||||
10 | behavioral
information (including, but not limited to, | ||||||
11 | criminal background, fire
setting, perpetuation of
sexual | ||||||
12 | abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to | ||||||
13 | care
for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently | ||||||
14 | in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of | ||||||
15 | the information required by this paragraph, which may be | ||||||
16 | provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in | ||||||
17 | advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive | ||||||
18 | parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file | ||||||
19 | in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency | ||||||
20 | placement, casework staff shall at least provide known | ||||||
21 | information verbally, if necessary, and must subsequently | ||||||
22 | provide the information in writing as required by this | ||||||
23 | subsection.
| ||||||
24 | The information described in this subsection shall be | ||||||
25 | provided in writing. In the case of emergency placements when | ||||||
26 | time does not allow prior review, preparation, and collection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of written information, the Department shall provide such | ||||||
2 | information as it becomes available. Within 10 business days | ||||||
3 | after placement, the Department shall obtain from the | ||||||
4 | prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker a | ||||||
5 | signed verification of receipt of the information provided. | ||||||
6 | Within 10 business days after placement, the Department shall | ||||||
7 | provide to the child's guardian ad litem a copy of the | ||||||
8 | information provided to the prospective adoptive parent or | ||||||
9 | parents or other caretaker. The information provided to the | ||||||
10 | prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker shall | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | (v-1) Prior to final approval for placement of a child, the | ||||||
21 | Department shall conduct a criminal records background check of | ||||||
22 | the prospective foster or adoptive parent, including | ||||||
23 | fingerprint-based checks of national crime information | ||||||
24 | databases. Final approval for placement shall not be granted if | ||||||
25 | the record check reveals a felony conviction for child abuse or | ||||||
26 | neglect, for spousal abuse, for a crime against children, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for a crime involving violence, including rape, sexual assault, | ||||||

10 | foster or adoptive parent or other adult living in the home has | ||||||
11 | resided in another state in the preceding 5 years, the | ||||||
12 | Department shall request a check of that other state's child | ||||||
13 | abuse and neglect registry.
| ||||||
14 | (w) Within 120 days of August 20, 1995 (the effective date | ||||||

16 | to the Governor and the
General Assembly, a written plan for | ||||||
17 | the development of in-state licensed
secure child care | ||||||
18 | facilities that care for children who are in need of secure
| ||||||
19 | living
arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being. | ||||||
20 | For purposes of this
subsection, secure care facility shall | ||||||
21 | mean a facility that is designed and
operated to ensure that | ||||||
22 | all entrances and exits from the facility, a building
or a | ||||||
23 | distinct part of the building, are under the exclusive control | ||||||
24 | of the
staff of the facility, whether or not the child has the | ||||||
25 | freedom of movement
within the perimeter of the facility, | ||||||
26 | building, or distinct part of the
building. The plan shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | include descriptions of the types of facilities that
are needed | ||||||
2 | in Illinois; the cost of developing these secure care | ||||||
3 | facilities;
the estimated number of placements; the potential | ||||||
4 | cost savings resulting from
the movement of children currently | ||||||
5 | out-of-state who are projected to be
returned to Illinois; the | ||||||
6 | necessary geographic distribution of these
facilities in | ||||||
7 | Illinois; and a proposed timetable for development of such
| ||||||
8 | facilities. | ||||||
9 | (x) The Department shall conduct annual credit history | ||||||
10 | checks to determine the financial history of children placed | ||||||
11 | under its guardianship pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of | ||||||
12 | 1987. The Department shall conduct such credit checks starting | ||||||
13 | when a ward turns 12 years old and each year thereafter for the | ||||||
14 | duration of the guardianship as terminated pursuant to the | ||||||
15 | Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The Department shall determine if | ||||||
16 | financial exploitation of the child's personal information has | ||||||
17 | occurred. If financial exploitation appears to have taken place | ||||||
18 | or is presently ongoing, the Department shall notify the proper | ||||||
19 | law enforcement agency, the proper State's Attorney, or the | ||||||
20 | Attorney General. | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | Sec. 34.11. Lou Jones Grandparent Child Care Program.
| ||||||
2 | (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following:
| ||||||
3 | (1) An increasing number of children under the age of | ||||||
4 | 18, including many
children who would otherwise be at risk | ||||||
5 | of abuse or neglect, are in the care of
a grandparent or | ||||||
6 | other nonparent relative.
| ||||||
7 | (2) The principal causes of this increase include | ||||||
8 | parental substance
abuse, chronic illness, child abuse, | ||||||
9 | mental illness, military deployment, poverty, | ||||||
10 | homelessness, deportation, and death, as well as concerted
| ||||||
11 | efforts by families and by the child welfare service system | ||||||
12 | to keep children
with relatives whenever possible.
| ||||||
13 | (3) Grandparents and older relatives providing primary | ||||||
14 | care for at-risk
children may experience unique resultant | ||||||
15 | problems, such as financial stress due
to limited incomes, | ||||||
16 | emotional difficulties dealing with the loss of the child's
| ||||||
17 | parents or the child's unique behaviors, and decreased | ||||||
18 | physical stamina coupled
with a much higher incidence of | ||||||
19 | chronic illness.
| ||||||
20 | (4) Many children being raised by nonparent relatives | ||||||
21 | experience one or a
combination of emotional, behavioral, | ||||||
22 | psychological, academic, or medical
problems, especially | ||||||
23 | those born to a substance-abusing mother or at risk of
| ||||||
24 | child abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
| ||||||
25 | (5) Grandparents and other relatives providing primary | ||||||
26 | care for children
lack appropriate information about the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | issues of kinship care, the special
needs (both physical | ||||||
2 | and psychological) of children born to a substance-abusing
| ||||||
3 | mother or at risk of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment, | ||||||
4 | and the support
resources currently available to them.
| ||||||
5 | (6) An increasing number of grandparents and other | ||||||
6 | relatives age 60 or older are adopting or becoming the | ||||||
7 | subsidized guardians of children placed in their care by | ||||||
8 | the Department. Some of these children will experience the | ||||||
9 | death of their adoptive parent or guardian before reaching | ||||||
10 | the age of 18. For most of these children, no legal plan | ||||||
11 | has been made for the child's future care and custody in | ||||||
12 | the event of the caregiver's death or incapacity. | ||||||
13 | (7) Grandparents and other relatives providing primary | ||||||
14 | care for children lack appropriate information about | ||||||
15 | future care and custody planning for children in their | ||||||
16 | care. They also lack access to resources that may assist | ||||||
17 | them in developing future legal care and custody plans for | ||||||
18 | children in their legal custody.
| ||||||
19 | (b) The Department may establish an informational and | ||||||
20 | educational program
for grandparents and other relatives who | ||||||
21 | provide primary care for children who
are at risk of child | ||||||
22 | abuse, neglect, or abandonment or who were born to
| ||||||
23 | substance-abusing mothers. As a part of the program, the | ||||||
24 | Department may
develop, publish, and distribute an | ||||||
25 | informational brochure for grandparents and
other relatives | ||||||
26 | who provide primary care for children who are at risk of child
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | abuse, neglect, or abandonment or who were born to | ||||||
2 | substance-abusing mothers.
The information provided under the | ||||||
3 | program authorized by this Section may
include, but is not | ||||||
4 | limited to the following:
| ||||||
5 | (1) The most prevalent causes of kinship care, | ||||||
6 | especially the risk of
(i) substance exposure, (ii) child | ||||||
7 | abuse, neglect, or abandonment, (iii) chronic illness, | ||||||
8 | (iv) mental illness, (v) military deployment, or (vi) | ||||||
9 | death.
| ||||||
10 | (2) The problems experienced by children being raised | ||||||
11 | by nonparent
caregivers.
| ||||||
12 | (3) The problems experienced by grandparents and other | ||||||
13 | nonparent relatives
providing primary care for children | ||||||
14 | who have special needs.
| ||||||
15 | (4) The legal system as it relates to children and | ||||||
16 | their nonparent primary
caregivers.
| ||||||
17 | (5) The benefits available to children and their | ||||||
18 | nonparent primary
caregivers.
| ||||||
19 | (6) A list of support groups and resources located | ||||||
20 | throughout the State.
| ||||||
21 | The brochure may be distributed through hospitals, public | ||||||
22 | health nurses,
child protective services, medical professional | ||||||
23 | offices, elementary and
secondary schools, senior citizen | ||||||
24 | centers, public libraries, community action
agencies selected | ||||||
25 | by the Department, and the Department of Human Services.
| ||||||
26 | The Kinship Navigator established under the Kinship |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Navigator Act shall coordinate the grandparent child care | ||||||
2 | program under this Section with the programs and services | ||||||
3 | established and administered by the Department of Human | ||||||
4 | Services under the Kinship Navigator Act. | ||||||
5 | (c) In addition to other provisions of this Section, the | ||||||
6 | Department shall establish a program of information, social | ||||||
7 | work services, and legal services for any person age 60 or over | ||||||
8 | and any other person who may be in need of a future legal care | ||||||
9 | and custody plan who adopt, have adopted, take guardianship of, | ||||||
10 | or have taken guardianship of children previously in the | ||||||
11 | Department's custody. This program shall also assist families | ||||||
12 | of deceased adoptive parents and guardians. As part of the | ||||||
13 | program, the Department shall:
| ||||||
14 | (1) Develop a protocol for identification of persons | ||||||
15 | age 60 or over and others who may be in need of future care | ||||||
16 | and custody plans, including ill caregivers, who are | ||||||
17 | adoptive parents, prospective adoptive parents, guardians, | ||||||
18 | or prospective guardians of children who are or have been | ||||||
19 | in Department custody.
| ||||||
20 | (2) Provide outreach to caregivers before and after | ||||||
21 | adoption and guardianship, and to the families of deceased | ||||||
22 | caregivers, regarding Illinois legal options for future | ||||||
23 | care and custody of children.
| ||||||
24 | (3) Provide training for Department and private agency | ||||||
25 | staff on methods of assisting caregivers before and after | ||||||
26 | adoption and guardianship, and the families of older and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ill caregivers, who wish to make future care and custody | ||||||
2 | plans for children who have been wards of the Department | ||||||
3 | and who are or will be adopted by or are or will become | ||||||
4 | wards of those caregivers.
| ||||||
5 | (4) Ensure that all caregivers age 60 or over who will | ||||||
6 | adopt or will become guardians of children previously in | ||||||
7 | Department custody have specifically designated future | ||||||
8 | caregivers for children in their care. The Department shall | ||||||
9 | document this designation, and the Department shall also | ||||||
10 | document acceptance of this responsibility by any future | ||||||
11 | caregiver. Documentation of future care designation shall | ||||||
12 | be included in each child's case file and adoption or | ||||||
13 | guardianship subsidy files as applicable to the child.
| ||||||
14 | (5) Ensure that any designated future caregiver and the | ||||||
15 | family of a deceased caregiver have information on the | ||||||
16 | financial needs of the child and future resources that may | ||||||
17 | be available to support the child, including any adoption | ||||||
18 | assistance and subsidized guardianship for which the child | ||||||
19 | is or may be eligible.
| ||||||
20 | (6) With respect to programs of social work and legal | ||||||
21 | services:
| ||||||
22 | (i) Provide contracted social work services to | ||||||
23 | older and ill caregivers, and the families of deceased | ||||||
24 | caregivers, including those who will or have adopted or | ||||||
25 | will take or have taken guardianship of children | ||||||
26 | previously in Department custody. Social work services |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to caregivers will have the goal of securing a future | ||||||
2 | care and custody plan for children in their care. Such | ||||||
3 | services will include providing information to the | ||||||
4 | caregivers and families on standby guardianship, | ||||||
5 | guardianship, standby adoption, and adoption. The | ||||||
6 | Department will assist the caregiver in developing a | ||||||
7 | plan for the child if the caregiver becomes | ||||||
8 | incapacitated or terminally ill, or dies while the | ||||||
9 | child is a minor. The Department shall develop a form | ||||||
10 | to document the information given to caregivers and to | ||||||
11 | document plans for future custody, in addition to the | ||||||
12 | documentation described in subsection (b) (4). This | ||||||
13 | form shall be included in each child's case file and | ||||||
14 | adoption or guardianship subsidy files as applicable | ||||||
15 | to the child.
| ||||||
16 | (ii) Through a program of contracted legal | ||||||
17 | services, assist older and ill caregivers, and the | ||||||
18 | families of deceased caregivers, with the goal of | ||||||
19 | securing court-ordered future care and custody plans | ||||||
20 | for children in their care. Court-ordered future care | ||||||
21 | and custody plans may include: standby guardianship, | ||||||
22 | successor guardianship, standby adoption, and | ||||||
23 | successor adoption. The program will also study ways in | ||||||
24 | which to provide timely and cost-effective legal | ||||||
25 | services to older and ill caregivers, and to families | ||||||
26 | of deceased caregivers in order to ensure permanency |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for children in their care.
| ||||||
2 | (7) Ensure that future caregivers designated by | ||||||
3 | adoptive parents or guardians, and the families of deceased | ||||||
4 | caregivers, understand their rights and potential | ||||||
5 | responsibilities and shall be able to provide adequate | ||||||
6 | support and education for children who may become their | ||||||
7 | legal responsibility.
| ||||||
8 | (8) Ensure that future caregivers designated by | ||||||
9 | adoptive parents and guardians, and the families of | ||||||
10 | deceased caregivers, understand the problems of children | ||||||
11 | who have experienced multiple caregivers and who may have | ||||||
12 | experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment or may have been | ||||||
13 | born to substance-abusing mothers.
| ||||||
14 | (9) Ensure that future caregivers designated by | ||||||
15 | adoptive parents and guardians, and the families of | ||||||
16 | deceased caregivers, understand the problems experienced | ||||||
17 | by older and ill caregivers of children, including children | ||||||
18 | with special needs, such as financial stress due to limited | ||||||
19 | income and increased financial responsibility, emotional | ||||||
20 | difficulties associated with the loss of a child's parent | ||||||
21 | or the child's unique behaviors, the special needs of a | ||||||
22 | child who may come into their custody or whose parent or | ||||||
23 | guardian is already deceased, and decreased physical | ||||||
24 | stamina and a higher rate of chronic illness and other | ||||||
25 | health concerns.
| ||||||
26 | (10) Provide additional services as needed to families |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in which a designated caregiver appointed by the court or a | ||||||
2 | caregiver designated in a will or other legal document | ||||||
3 | cannot or will not fulfill the responsibilities as adoptive | ||||||
4 | parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the child.
| ||||||
5 | (d) The Department shall consult with the Department on | ||||||
6 | Aging and any other agency it deems appropriate as the | ||||||
7 | Department develops the program required by subsection (c).
| ||||||
8 | (e) Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1040 | ||||||
9 | this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly , if any, is | ||||||
10 | conditioned on the rules being adopted in accordance with all | ||||||
11 | provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and all | ||||||
12 | rules and procedures of the Joint Committee on Administrative | ||||||
13 | Rules; any purported rule not so adopted, for whatever reason, | ||||||
14 | is unauthorized.

21 | labor organization or its representatives insofar as the | ||||||
22 | persons are acting in a representative capacity to an employee | ||||||
23 | whose conduct is the subject of an investigation or the | ||||||

12 | allegation, or suspicion of any one or more of the | ||||||
13 | following: mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, | ||||||
14 | neglect, or financial exploitation. A required reporter as | ||||||

17 | requirements is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
18 | (2) Deaths. Absent an allegation, a required reporter | ||||||

8 | reporter. | ||||||
9 | (l) Reporting criminal acts. Within 24 hours after | ||||||

13 | shall notify the Department of State Police or other | ||||||
14 | appropriate law enforcement authority, or ensure that such | ||||||
15 | notification is made. The Department of State Police shall | ||||||
16 | investigate any report from a State-operated facility | ||||||
17 | indicating a possible murder, sexual assault, or other felony | ||||||
18 | by an employee. All investigations conducted by the Inspector | ||||||
19 | General shall be conducted in a manner designed to ensure the | ||||||
20 | preservation of evidence for possible use in a criminal | ||||||
21 | prosecution. | ||||||
22 | (m) Investigative reports. Upon completion of an | ||||||

11 | state whether egregious neglect was found. An investigative | ||||||
12 | report may also set forth recommendations. All investigative | ||||||
13 | reports prepared by the Office of the Inspector General shall | ||||||
14 | be considered confidential and shall not be released except as | ||||||
15 | provided by the law of this State or as required under | ||||||
16 | applicable federal law. Unsubstantiated and unfounded reports | ||||||

10 | and reasoned manner, the actions taken to: (i) protect the | ||||||
11 | individual; (ii) prevent recurrences; and (iii) eliminate | ||||||

26 | substantiated allegation of physical or sexual abuse or |

3 | an employee, the employee shall be notified of the | ||||||
4 | Department's obligation to report and shall be granted an | ||||||
5 | opportunity to request an administrative hearing, the sole | ||||||
6 | purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated | ||||||
7 | finding warrants reporting to the registry. Notice to the | ||||||
8 | employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of the | ||||||
9 | grounds on which the report to the registry is based, offer | ||||||
10 | the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and identify the | ||||||
11 | process for requesting such a hearing. Notice is sufficient | ||||||
12 | if provided by certified mail to the employee's last known | ||||||
13 | address. If the employee fails to request a hearing within | ||||||
14 | 30 days from the date of the notice, the Inspector General | ||||||
15 | shall report the name of the employee to the registry. | ||||||
16 | Nothing in this subdivision (s)(2) shall diminish or impair | ||||||
17 | the rights of a person who is a member of a collective | ||||||

21 | administrative hearing, the employee shall be granted an | ||||||
22 | opportunity to appear before an administrative law judge to | ||||||
23 | present reasons why the employee's name should not be | ||||||
24 | reported to the registry. The Department shall bear the | ||||||
25 | burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a | ||||||
26 | preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | finding warrants reporting to the registry. After | ||||||
2 | considering all the evidence presented, the administrative | ||||||
3 | law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as | ||||||
4 | to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting | ||||||
5 | the name of the employee to the registry. The Secretary | ||||||
6 | shall render the final decision. The Department and the | ||||||
7 | employee shall have the right to request that the | ||||||
8 | administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition | ||||||
9 | of these proceedings. | ||||||
10 | (4) Testimony at registry hearings. A person who makes | ||||||
11 | a report or who investigates a report under this Act shall | ||||||
12 | testify fully in any judicial proceeding resulting from | ||||||
13 | such a report, as to any evidence of abuse or neglect, or | ||||||
14 | the cause thereof. No evidence shall be excluded by reason | ||||||
15 | of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
16 | communications between the alleged perpetrator of abuse or | ||||||
17 | neglect, or the individual alleged as the victim in the | ||||||
18 | report, and the person making or investigating the report. | ||||||
19 | Testimony at hearings is exempt from the confidentiality | ||||||
20 | requirements of subsection (f) of Section 10 of the Mental | ||||||
21 | Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. | ||||||
22 | (5) Employee's rights to collateral action. No | ||||||
23 | reporting to the registry shall occur and no hearing shall | ||||||
24 | be set or proceed if an employee notifies the Inspector | ||||||
25 | General in writing, including any supporting | ||||||
26 | documentation, that he or she is formally contesting an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | adverse employment action resulting from a substantiated | ||||||
2 | finding by complaint filed with the Illinois Civil Service | ||||||
3 | Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the | ||||||
4 | employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective | ||||||
5 | bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer | ||||||
6 | against an employee as a result of a finding of physical | ||||||
7 | abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned | ||||||
8 | through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service | ||||||
9 | Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining | ||||||
10 | agreement and if that employee's name has already been sent | ||||||
11 | to the registry, the employee's name shall be removed from | ||||||
12 | the registry. | ||||||
13 | (6) Removal from registry. At any time after the report | ||||||
14 | to the registry, but no more than once in any 12-month | ||||||
15 | period, an employee may petition the Department in writing | ||||||
16 | to remove his or her name from the registry. Upon receiving | ||||||
17 | notice of such request, the Inspector General shall conduct | ||||||
18 | an investigation into the petition. Upon receipt of such | ||||||
19 | request, an administrative hearing will be set by the | ||||||
20 | Department. At the hearing, the employee shall bear the | ||||||
21 | burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a | ||||||
22 | preponderance of the evidence, that removal of the name | ||||||
23 | from the registry is in the public interest. The parties | ||||||
24 | may jointly request that the administrative law judge | ||||||
25 | consider a stipulated disposition of these proceedings. | ||||||
26 | (t) Review of Administrative Decisions. The Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall preserve a record of all proceedings at any formal | ||||||
2 | hearing conducted by the Department involving health care | ||||||
3 | worker registry hearings. Final administrative decisions of | ||||||
4 | the Department are subject to judicial review pursuant to | ||||||
5 | provisions of the Administrative Review Law. | ||||||
6 | (u) Quality Care Board. There is created, within the Office | ||||||
7 | of the Inspector General, a Quality Care Board to be composed | ||||||
8 | of 7 members appointed by the Governor with the advice and | ||||||
9 | consent of the Senate. One of the members shall be designated | ||||||
10 | as chairman by the Governor. Of the initial appointments made | ||||||
11 | by the Governor, 4 Board members shall each be appointed for a | ||||||
12 | term of 4 years and 3 members shall each be appointed for a | ||||||

4 | health care professionals, to provide a service to a patient in | ||||||
5 | contravention of that patient's stated or implied objection to | ||||||
6 | the provision of that service on the ground that that service | ||||||
7 | conflicts with the patient's religious beliefs or practices, | ||||||
8 | nor shall the failure to provide a service to a patient be | ||||||
9 | considered abuse under this Section if the patient has objected | ||||||

15 | identified during the investigation. If the case involves | ||||||
16 | substantiated neglect, the investigative report shall also | ||||||
17 | state whether egregious neglect was found. An investigative | ||||||
18 | report may also set forth recommendations. All investigative | ||||||
19 | reports prepared by the Office of the Inspector General shall | ||||||
20 | be considered confidential and shall not be released except as | ||||||

14 | absent a reconsideration request, the facility or agency | ||||||
15 | shall file a written response that addresses, in a concise | ||||||
16 | and reasoned manner, the actions taken to: (i) protect the | ||||||
17 | individual; (ii) prevent recurrences; and (iii) eliminate | ||||||
18 | the problems identified. The response shall include the | ||||||
19 | implementation and completion dates of such actions. If the | ||||||
20 | written response is not filed within the allotted 30 | ||||||
21 | calendar day period, the Secretary shall determine the | ||||||

10 | an employee, the employee shall be notified of the | ||||||
11 | Department's obligation to report and shall be granted an | ||||||
12 | opportunity to request an administrative hearing, the sole | ||||||
13 | purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated | ||||||
14 | finding warrants reporting to the registry. Notice to the | ||||||
15 | employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of the | ||||||
16 | grounds on which the report to the registry is based, offer | ||||||
17 | the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and identify the | ||||||
18 | process for requesting such a hearing. Notice is sufficient | ||||||
19 | if provided by certified mail to the employee's last known | ||||||
20 | address. If the employee fails to request a hearing within | ||||||
21 | 30 days from the date of the notice, the Inspector General | ||||||
22 | shall report the name of the employee to the registry. | ||||||
23 | Nothing in this subdivision (s)(2) shall diminish or impair | ||||||

3 | opportunity to appear before an administrative law judge to | ||||||
4 | present reasons why the employee's name should not be | ||||||
5 | reported to the registry. The Department shall bear the | ||||||
6 | burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a | ||||||
7 | preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated | ||||||
8 | finding warrants reporting to the registry. After | ||||||
9 | considering all the evidence presented, the administrative | ||||||
10 | law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as | ||||||
11 | to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting | ||||||
12 | the name of the employee to the registry. The Secretary | ||||||
13 | shall render the final decision. The Department and the | ||||||
14 | employee shall have the right to request that the | ||||||
15 | administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition | ||||||
16 | of these proceedings. | ||||||
17 | (4) Testimony at registry hearings. A person who makes | ||||||
18 | a report or who investigates a report under this Act shall | ||||||
19 | testify fully in any judicial proceeding resulting from | ||||||
20 | such a report, as to any evidence of abuse or neglect, or | ||||||
21 | the cause thereof. No evidence shall be excluded by reason | ||||||
22 | of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
23 | communications between the alleged perpetrator of abuse or | ||||||
24 | neglect, or the individual alleged as the victim in the | ||||||
25 | report, and the person making or investigating the report. | ||||||
26 | Testimony at hearings is exempt from the confidentiality |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requirements of subsection (f) of Section 10 of the Mental | ||||||
2 | Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. | ||||||
3 | (5) Employee's rights to collateral action. No | ||||||
4 | reporting to the registry shall occur and no hearing shall | ||||||
5 | be set or proceed if an employee notifies the Inspector | ||||||
6 | General in writing, including any supporting | ||||||
7 | documentation, that he or she is formally contesting an | ||||||
8 | adverse employment action resulting from a substantiated | ||||||
9 | finding by complaint filed with the Illinois Civil Service | ||||||
10 | Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the | ||||||
11 | employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective | ||||||
12 | bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer | ||||||
13 | against an employee as a result of a finding of physical | ||||||
14 | abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned | ||||||
15 | through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service | ||||||
16 | Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining | ||||||
17 | agreement and if that employee's name has already been sent | ||||||
18 | to the registry, the employee's name shall be removed from | ||||||
19 | the registry. | ||||||
20 | (6) Removal from registry. At any time after the report | ||||||
21 | to the registry, but no more than once in any 12-month | ||||||
22 | period, an employee may petition the Department in writing | ||||||
23 | to remove his or her name from the registry. Upon receiving | ||||||
24 | notice of such request, the Inspector General shall conduct | ||||||
25 | an investigation into the petition. Upon receipt of such | ||||||
26 | request, an administrative hearing will be set by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department. At the hearing, the employee shall bear the | ||||||
2 | burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a | ||||||
3 | preponderance of the evidence, that removal of the name | ||||||
4 | from the registry is in the public interest. The parties | ||||||
5 | may jointly request that the administrative law judge | ||||||
6 | consider a stipulated disposition of these proceedings. | ||||||
7 | (t) Review of Administrative Decisions. The Department | ||||||
8 | shall preserve a record of all proceedings at any formal | ||||||
9 | hearing conducted by the Department involving health care | ||||||
10 | worker registry hearings. Final administrative decisions of | ||||||
11 | the Department are subject to judicial review pursuant to | ||||||
12 | provisions of the Administrative Review Law. | ||||||
13 | (u) Quality Care Board. There is created, within the Office | ||||||
14 | of the Inspector General, a Quality Care Board to be composed | ||||||
15 | of 7 members appointed by the Governor with the advice and | ||||||
16 | consent of the Senate. One of the members shall be designated | ||||||
17 | as chairman by the Governor. Of the initial appointments made | ||||||
18 | by the Governor, 4 Board members shall each be appointed for a | ||||||

2 | appointed by the Governor shall be persons with a disability or | ||||||
3 | a parent of a person with a disability. Members shall serve | ||||||
4 | without compensation, but shall be reimbursed for expenses | ||||||
5 | incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as | ||||||
6 | members. | ||||||
7 | The Board shall meet quarterly, and may hold other meetings | ||||||
8 | on the call of the chairman. Four members shall constitute a | ||||||
9 | quorum allowing the Board to conduct its business. The Board | ||||||
10 | may adopt rules and regulations it deems necessary to govern | ||||||
11 | its own procedures. | ||||||
12 | The Board shall monitor and oversee the operations, | ||||||
13 | policies, and procedures of the Inspector General to ensure the | ||||||
14 | prompt and thorough investigation of allegations of neglect and | ||||||
15 | abuse. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Board may do | ||||||
16 | the following: | ||||||
17 | (1) Provide independent, expert consultation to the | ||||||

4 | the General Assembly and the Governor, no later than January 1 | ||||||
5 | of each year, a summary of reports and investigations made | ||||||
6 | under this Act for the prior fiscal year with respect to | ||||||
7 | individuals receiving mental health or developmental | ||||||
8 | disabilities services. The report shall detail the imposition | ||||||
9 | of sanctions, if any, and the final disposition of any | ||||||
10 | corrective or administrative action directed by the Secretary. | ||||||
11 | The summaries shall not contain any confidential or identifying | ||||||
12 | information of any individual, but shall include objective data | ||||||
13 | identifying any trends in the number of reported allegations, | ||||||
14 | the timeliness of the Office of the Inspector General's | ||||||
15 | investigations, and their disposition, for each facility and | ||||||
16 | Department-wide, for the most recent 3-year time period. The | ||||||
17 | report shall also identify, by facility, the staff-to-patient | ||||||
18 | ratios taking account of direct care staff only. The report | ||||||

5 | (x) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to mean that | ||||||
6 | a patient is a victim of abuse or neglect because of health | ||||||
7 | care services appropriately provided or not provided by health | ||||||
8 | care professionals. | ||||||
9 | (y) Nothing in this Section shall require a facility, | ||||||
10 | including its employees, agents, medical staff members, and | ||||||
11 | health care professionals, to provide a service to a patient in | ||||||
12 | contravention of that patient's stated or implied objection to | ||||||
13 | the provision of that service on the ground that that service | ||||||
14 | conflicts with the patient's religious beliefs or practices, | ||||||
15 | nor shall the failure to provide a service to a patient be | ||||||
16 | considered abuse under this Section if the patient has objected | ||||||
17 | to the provision of that service based on his or her religious | ||||||
18 | beliefs or practices.

26 | physician, healthcare provider, or laboratory representative |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall provide the patient with a copy of the consent form and | ||||||
2 | orally review the form together with the patient in order to | ||||||
3 | obtain the informed consent of the patient and the physician's, | ||||||
4 | or healthcare provider's, or laboratory's agreement to | ||||||
5 | participate in the pilot program. A copy of the informed | ||||||
6 | consent document, signed and dated by the client and by the | ||||||
7 | physician, healthcare provider, or laboratory representative | ||||||
8 | must be kept in each client's chart. The consent form shall | ||||||
9 | contain the following: | ||||||
10 | (1) an explanation of the pilot program's purpose and | ||||||
11 | protocol; | ||||||

9 | (2) promote discussion and public information
programs | ||||||
10 | regarding monogenic neonatal diabetes mellitus. | ||||||
11 | (f) Reports, records, and information obtained under this | ||||||
12 | Section are confidential, privileged, not subject to | ||||||
13 | disclosure, and
not subject to subpoena and may not otherwise | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cost analysis for each State road project under its | ||||||
2 | jurisdiction for which the total pavement costs exceed $500,000 | ||||||
3 | funded in whole, or in part, with State or State-appropriated | ||||||
4 | funds. The Department shall design and award these paving | ||||||
5 | projects utilizing material having the lowest life-cycle cost. | ||||||
6 | All pavement design life shall ensure that State and | ||||||
7 | State-appropriated funds are utilized as efficiently as | ||||||
8 | possible. When alternative material options are substantially | ||||||
9 | equivalent on a life-cycle cost basis, the Department may make | ||||||
10 | a decision based on other criteria. At the discretion of the | ||||||
11 | Department, interstate highways with high traffic volumes or | ||||||
12 | experimental projects may be exempt from this requirement. | ||||||
13 | (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, a | ||||||
14 | life-cycle cost analysis shall compare equivalent designs | ||||||
15 | based upon this State's actual historic project schedules and | ||||||
16 | costs as recorded by the pavement management system, and may | ||||||
17 | include estimates of user costs throughout the entire pavement | ||||||
18 | life. | ||||||
19 | (d) For pavement projects for which this State has no | ||||||
20 | actual historic project schedules and costs as recorded by the | ||||||
21 | pavement management system, the Department may use actual | ||||||
22 | historical and comparable data for equivalent designs from | ||||||
23 | states with similar climates, soil structures, or vehicle | ||||||
24 | traffic.

| ||||||
4 | Section 115. The Illinois State Agency Historic Resources | ||||||
5 | Preservation Act is amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (20 ILCS 3420/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 133c24)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 4. State agency undertakings.
| ||||||
8 | (a) As early in the planning process as may be practicable | ||||||
9 | and prior to
the approval of the final design or plan of any | ||||||
10 | undertaking by a State
agency, or prior to the funding of any | ||||||
11 | undertaking by a State agency, or
prior to an action of | ||||||
12 | approval or entitlement of any private undertaking by
a State | ||||||
13 | agency, written notice of the project shall be given to the
| ||||||
14 | Director either by the State agency or the recipients of its | ||||||
15 | funds, permits
or licenses. The State agency shall consult with | ||||||
16 | the Director to determine
the documentation requirements | ||||||
17 | necessary for identification and treatment
of historic | ||||||
18 | resources. For the purposes of identification and evaluation
of | ||||||
19 | historic resources, the Director may require archaeological | ||||||
20 | and historic
investigations. Responsibility for notice and | ||||||
21 | documentation may be
delegated by the State agency to a local | ||||||
22 | or private designee.
| ||||||
23 | (b) Within 30 days after receipt of complete and correct | ||||||
24 | documentation
of a proposed undertaking, the Director shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | review and comment to the
agency on the likelihood that the | ||||||
2 | undertaking will have an adverse effect
on a historic resource. | ||||||
3 | In the case of a private undertaking, the
Director shall, not | ||||||
4 | later than 30 days following the receipt of an
application with | ||||||
5 | complete documentation of the undertaking, either approve
that | ||||||
6 | application allowing the undertaking to proceed or tender to | ||||||
7 | the
applicant a written statement setting forth the reasons for | ||||||
8 | the
requirement of an archaeological investigation. If there is | ||||||
9 | no action
within 30 days after the filing of the application | ||||||
10 | with the complete
documentation of the undertaking, the | ||||||
11 | applicant may deem the application
approved and may proceed | ||||||
12 | with the undertaking. Thereafter, all
requirements for | ||||||
13 | archaeological investigations are waived under this Act.
| ||||||
14 | (c) If the Director finds that an undertaking will | ||||||
15 | adversely affect effect an
historic resource or is inconsistent | ||||||
16 | with agency policies, the State agency
shall consult with the | ||||||
17 | Director and shall discuss alternatives to the proposed
| ||||||
18 | undertaking which could eliminate, minimize, or mitigate its | ||||||
19 | adverse effect.
During the consultation process, the State | ||||||
20 | agency shall explore
all feasible and prudent plans which | ||||||
21 | eliminate, minimize, or mitigate
adverse effects on historic | ||||||
22 | resources. Grantees, permittees, licensees, or
other parties | ||||||
23 | in interest and representatives of national, State, and local
| ||||||
24 | units of government and public and private organizations may | ||||||
25 | participate
in the consultation process. The process may | ||||||
26 | involve on-site inspections and
public informational meetings |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pursuant to regulations issued by the
Historic Preservation | ||||||
2 | Agency.
| ||||||
3 | (d) The State agency and the Director may agree that there | ||||||
4 | is a feasible
and prudent alternative which eliminates, | ||||||
5 | minimizes, or mitigates the
adverse effect of the undertaking. | ||||||
6 | Upon such agreement, or if the State
agency and the Director | ||||||
7 | agree that there are no feasible and prudent
alternatives which | ||||||
8 | eliminate, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effect, the
| ||||||
9 | Director shall prepare a Memorandum of Agreement describing the
| ||||||
10 | alternatives or stating the finding. The State agency may | ||||||
11 | proceed with the
undertaking once a Memorandum of Agreement has | ||||||
12 | been signed by both the
State agency and the Director.
| ||||||
13 | (e) After the consultation process, the Director and the | ||||||
14 | State agency
may fail to agree on the existence of a feasible | ||||||
15 | and prudent alternative
which would eliminate, minimize, or | ||||||
16 | mitigate the adverse effect of the
undertaking on the historic | ||||||
17 | resource. If no agreement is reached, the agency
shall call a | ||||||
18 | public meeting in the county where the undertaking is proposed
| ||||||
19 | within 60 days. If, within 14 days following conclusion of the | ||||||
20 | public
meeting, the State agency and the Director fail to agree | ||||||
21 | on a feasible and
prudent alternative, the proposed | ||||||
22 | undertaking, with supporting
documentation, shall be submitted | ||||||
23 | to the Historic Preservation
Mediation Committee. The document | ||||||
24 | shall be sufficient to identify each
alternative considered by | ||||||
25 | the Agency and the Director during the
consultation process and | ||||||
26 | the reason for its rejection.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) The Mediation Committee shall consist of the Director | ||||||
2 | and 5 persons
appointed by the Director for terms of 3 years | ||||||
3 | each, each of whom shall be
no lower in rank than a division | ||||||
4 | chief and each of whom shall represent a
different State | ||||||
5 | agency. An agency that is a party to mediation shall be
| ||||||
6 | notified of all hearings and deliberations and shall have the | ||||||
7 | right to
participate in deliberations as a non-voting member of | ||||||
8 | the Committee.
Within 30 days after submission of the proposed | ||||||
9 | undertaking, the Committee
shall meet with the Director and the | ||||||
10 | submitting agency to review each
alternative considered by the | ||||||
11 | State agency and the Director and to evaluate
the existence of | ||||||
12 | a feasible and prudent alternative. In the event that the
| ||||||
13 | Director and the submitting agency continue to disagree, the | ||||||
14 | Committee
shall provide a statement of findings or comments | ||||||
15 | setting forth an
alternative to the proposed undertaking or | ||||||
16 | stating the finding that there
is no feasible or prudent | ||||||
17 | alternative. The State agency shall consider the
written | ||||||
18 | comments of the Committee and shall respond in writing to the
| ||||||
19 | Committee before proceeding with the undertaking.
| ||||||
20 | (g) When an undertaking is being reviewed pursuant to | ||||||
21 | Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, | ||||||
22 | the procedures of this law
shall not apply and any review or | ||||||
23 | comment by the Director on such undertaking
shall be within the | ||||||
24 | framework or procedures of the federal law. When an
undertaking | ||||||
25 | involves a structure listed on the Illinois Register of | ||||||
26 | Historic
Places, the rules and procedures of the Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Historic Preservation Act
shall apply. This subsection shall | ||||||
2 | not prevent the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency from | ||||||
3 | entering into an agreement with the Advisory
Council on | ||||||
4 | Historic Preservation pursuant to Section 106 of the National
| ||||||
5 | Historic Preservation Act to substitute this Act and its | ||||||
6 | procedures for

16 | is prepared and shall include (i) taxes, insurance, and | ||||||
17 | other owner's costs and (ii) any assumed escalation in | ||||||
18 | materials and labor beyond the date as of which the | ||||||
19 | operating and maintenance cost quote is expressed. | ||||||
20 | (c) Reasonable amounts paid or due to be paid by the owner | ||||||
21 | or owners of the clean coal SNG facility to third parties | ||||||
22 | unrelated to the owner or owners to prepare the facility cost | ||||||
23 | report will be reimbursed or paid up to $10 million through | ||||||
24 | Coal Development Bonds. | ||||||
25 | (d) The Agency shall review the facility report and based | ||||||
26 | on that report, consider whether to enter into long term |
| |||||||
| |||||||

25 | meet the criteria set forth in rules or refer them to the full | ||||||
26 | Board. The Chairman may approve any unopposed application that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | meets all of the review criteria or refer them to the full | ||||||
2 | Board. | ||||||
3 | Such rules shall
not abridge the right of the Center for | ||||||
4 | Comprehensive Health Planning to make
recommendations on the | ||||||
5 | classification and approval of projects, nor shall
such rules | ||||||
6 | prevent the conduct of a public hearing upon the timely request

| |||||||
1 | contrary. | ||||||
2 | (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
3 | of the 96th General Assembly through June 30, 2010, when any of | ||||||
4 | the funds listed in subsection (a) have insufficient cash from | ||||||

16 | from a federal official or (ii) violates an order of a court of | ||||||
17 | competent jurisdiction, then the Director may order the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer and State Comptroller, in writing, to transfer from | ||||||
19 | the General Revenue Fund to that listed special fund all or | ||||||
20 | part of the amounts transferred from that special fund under | ||||||

25 | Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and | ||||||
2 | Section 8n of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other
State law | ||||||
3 | to the contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from | ||||||
4 | time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to | ||||||
5 | transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray | ||||||
7 | the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total | ||||||
8 | transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year | ||||||
9 | shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be | ||||||
10 | deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an | ||||||
11 | amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July | ||||||

15 | Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by | ||||||
16 | applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the | ||||||
17 | funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a | ||||||
18 | fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing | ||||||
19 | the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the | ||||||
20 | amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total | ||||||
21 | appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that | ||||||
22 | fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any
funds that are | ||||||

10 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
11 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
12 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under | ||||||
13 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
14 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
15 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||
16 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
17 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
18 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
19 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
20 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the | ||||||
21 | Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
| ||||||
22 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
23 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
24 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
25 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
26 | The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be | ||||||
2 | practicable after receiving the direction
to transfer from the | ||||||
3 | Governor.
| ||||||
4 | (a-5) Transfers directed to be made under this Section on | ||||||
5 | or before February 28, 2006 that are still pending on May 19, | ||||||
6 | 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-774) shall be | ||||||
7 | redirected as provided in Section 8n of this Act.
| ||||||
8 | (b) This Section does not apply to: (i) the Ticket For The | ||||||
9 | Cure Fund; (ii) any fund established under the Community Senior | ||||||
10 | Services and Resources Act; or (iii) on or after January 1, | ||||||
11 | 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-511), the Child Labor | ||||||
12 | and Day and Temporary Labor Enforcement Fund. | ||||||
13 | (c) This Section does not apply to the Demutualization | ||||||
14 | Trust Fund established under the Uniform Disposition of | ||||||

15 | Sec. 3-2. Beginning July 1, 1993, in any instance where a | ||||||
16 | State official or
agency is late in payment of a vendor's bill | ||||||
17 | or invoice for goods or services
furnished to the State, as | ||||||
18 | defined in Section 1, properly approved in
accordance with | ||||||
19 | rules promulgated under Section 3-3, the State official or

24 | this Section must be paid
or the payment issued to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payee within 60 days of receipt

If payment is not issued to the payee within this | ||||||
3 | 60 day
period, an
interest penalty of 1.0% of any amount | ||||||
4 | approved and unpaid shall be added
for each month or | ||||||
5 | fraction thereof after the end of this 60 day period,
until | ||||||
6 | final payment is made. Any bill submitted under Article V | ||||||
7 | of the Illinois Public Aid Code approved for payment under | ||||||
8 | this Section must be paid
or the payment issued to the | ||||||
9 | payee within 60 days after receipt
of a proper bill or | ||||||

until | ||||||
14 | final payment is made.
| ||||||
15 | (1.1) A State agency shall review in a timely manner | ||||||
16 | each bill or
invoice after its receipt. If the
State agency | ||||||
17 | determines that the bill or invoice contains a defect | ||||||
18 | making it
unable to process the payment request, the agency
| ||||||
19 | shall notify the vendor requesting payment as soon as | ||||||
20 | possible after

3 | paid.

5 | of a
vendor's bill or invoice properly approved in | ||||||
6 | accordance with this Act, and
different late payment terms | ||||||
7 | are not reduced to writing as a contractual

8 | State official or agency shall automatically pay interest
| ||||||
9 | penalties required by this Section to the appropriate

penalty
is
owed and

19 | the surety shall promptly remedy the default by taking one of | ||||||
20 | the following actions: | ||||||
21 | (1) The surety shall complete the work pursuant to a | ||||||
22 | written takeover agreement, using a completing contractor | ||||||
23 | jointly selected by the surety and the State or any | ||||||
24 | political subdivision; or | ||||||
25 | (2) The surety shall pay a sum of money to the obligee, | ||||||
26 | up to the penal sum of the bond, that represents the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonable cost to complete the work that exceeds the | ||||||
2 | unpaid balance of the contract sum. | ||||||
3 | The surety shall respond to the Notice within 15 working | ||||||
4 | days of receipt indicating the course of action that it intends | ||||||
5 | to take or advising that it requires more time to investigate | ||||||
6 | the default and select a course of action. If the surety | ||||||
7 | requires more than 15 working days to investigate the default | ||||||
8 | and select a course of action or if the surety elects to | ||||||
9 | complete the work with a completing contractor that is not | ||||||
10 | prepared to commence performance within 15 working days after | ||||||
11 | receipt of Notice, and if the State or any political | ||||||
12 | subdivision determines it is in the best interest of the State | ||||||
13 | to maintain the progress of the work, the State or any | ||||||
14 | political subdivision may continue to work until the completing | ||||||
15 | contractor is prepared to commence performance. Unless | ||||||
16 | otherwise agreed to by the procuring agency, in no case may the | ||||||
17 | surety take longer than 30 working days to advise the State or | ||||||
18 | political subdivision on the course of action it intends to | ||||||
19 | take. The surety shall be liable for reasonable costs incurred | ||||||
20 | by the State or any political subdivision to maintain the | ||||||
21 | progress to the extent the costs exceed the unpaid balance of | ||||||
22 | the contract sum, subject to the penal sum of the bond.".
| ||||||
23 | The surety bond required by this Section may be acquired | ||||||
24 | from the
company, agent or broker of the contractor's choice. | ||||||
25 | The bond and sureties
shall
be subject to the right of | ||||||
26 | reasonable approval or disapproval, including
suspension, by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the State or political subdivision thereof concerned. In the
| ||||||
2 | case of State construction contracts, a contractor shall not be | ||||||
3 | required to
post a cash bond or letter of credit in addition to | ||||||
4 | or as a substitute for the
surety bond required by this | ||||||
5 | Section.
| ||||||
6 | When other than motor fuel tax funds, federal-aid funds, or | ||||||
7 | other
funds received from the State are used, a political | ||||||
8 | subdivision may allow
the contractor to provide a | ||||||
9 | non-diminishing irrevocable bank letter of
credit, in lieu of | ||||||
10 | the bond required by this Section, on contracts under
$100,000 | ||||||
11 | to comply with the requirements of this Section. Any such bank
| ||||||
12 | letter of credit shall contain all provisions required for | ||||||
13 | bonds by this
Section.

| ||||||
16 | Sec. 3. Builder or developer cash bond or other surety.
| ||||||
17 | (a) A county or municipality may not require a cash bond, | ||||||
18 | irrevocable
letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of | ||||||
19 | commitment issued by a bank,
savings and loan association, | ||||||
20 | surety, or insurance company from a builder or
developer to
| ||||||
21 | guarantee completion of a project improvement when the builder | ||||||
22 | or developer
has filed with the county or municipal clerk a
| ||||||
23 | current, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or letter | ||||||
24 | of commitment
issued by a bank, savings and loan association, | ||||||
25 | surety, or insurance company,
deemed good and sufficient by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county or
municipality accepting such security, in an amount | ||||||
2 | equal
to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid on each | ||||||
3 | project improvement.
A builder or developer has the option to | ||||||
4 | utilize a
cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit,
surety bond, | ||||||
5 | or letter of commitment, issued by a bank, savings and loan
| ||||||
6 | association, surety, or insurance company, deemed good and
| ||||||
7 | sufficient
by the county or municipality, to
satisfy any cash | ||||||
8 | bond requirement established by a county or municipality.
| ||||||
9 | Except for a municipality or county with a population of | ||||||
10 | 1,000,000 or more,
the county or municipality must approve and | ||||||
11 | deem a surety or
insurance company good and sufficient for the | ||||||
12 | purposes set forth in this
Section if the surety or insurance | ||||||
13 | company is authorized by the
Illinois Department of Insurance | ||||||
14 | to sell and issue sureties in the State of
Illinois.
| ||||||
15 | (b) If a county or municipality receives a cash bond, | ||||||
16 | irrevocable letter
of credit, or surety bond from a builder or
| ||||||
17 | developer to
guarantee completion of a project improvement, the | ||||||
18 | county or municipality shall
(i) register
the bond under
the | ||||||
19 | address of the project and the construction permit number and | ||||||
20 | (ii) give the
builder or developer a receipt for the bond. The | ||||||
21 | county or municipality shall
establish and
maintain a separate | ||||||
22 | account for all cash bonds received from builders and
| ||||||
23 | developers to guarantee completion of a project improvement.
| ||||||
24 | (c) The county or municipality shall refund a cash bond to | ||||||
25 | a builder or
developer, or release the irrevocable letter of | ||||||
26 | credit or surety bond,
within
60 days after the builder or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | developer notifies the county or municipality in
writing of the
| ||||||
2 | completion of the project improvement for which the bond
was | ||||||
3 | required.
For these purposes, "completion" means that the | ||||||
4 | county or municipality has
determined
that the project | ||||||
5 | improvement for which the bond was required is complete or a
| ||||||
6 | licensed engineer or licensed architect has certified to the | ||||||
7 | builder or
developer and the county or municipality that the | ||||||
8 | project improvement has been
completed to the
applicable codes | ||||||
9 | and ordinances.
The county or municipality shall pay interest | ||||||
10 | to the builder or developer,
beginning 60 days
after the | ||||||
11 | builder or developer notifies the county or municipality in | ||||||
12 | writing
of the completion
of the
project improvement, on any | ||||||
13 | bond not refunded to a builder or developer, at
the rate of 1%
| ||||||
14 | per month.
| ||||||
15 | (d) A home rule county or municipality may not require or | ||||||
16 | maintain cash
bonds, irrevocable
letters of credit, surety | ||||||
17 | bonds, or letters of commitment issued by a bank,
savings and | ||||||
18 | loan association, surety, or insurance company
from builders
or | ||||||
19 | developers in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This | ||||||
20 | Section supersedes
supercedes and controls over other | ||||||
21 | provisions of the Counties Code or
Illinois Municipal Code as | ||||||
22 | they apply to and guarantee completion of a project
improvement | ||||||
23 | that is required by the county or municipality, regardless of
| ||||||
24 | whether the project improvement is a condition of annexation | ||||||
25 | agreements.
This Section is a
denial and limitation under | ||||||
26 | subsection (i) of Section
6 of Article VII of the Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||

6 | Council
or by one delegated authority from the Council to make | ||||||

8 | to make such a certification, that a
business entity is a | ||||||
9 | business owned by a
minority, female, or person with a | ||||||
10 | disability for whatever
purpose. A business owned and | ||||||
11 | controlled by females shall select and designate whether such | ||||||

13 | "Minority-owned business" if the females are also minorities.
| ||||||
14 | (9) "Control" means the exclusive or ultimate and sole | ||||||
15 | control of the
business including, but not limited to, capital | ||||||
16 | investment and all other
financial matters, property, | ||||||
17 | acquisitions, contract negotiations, legal

4 | (10) "Business concern or business" means a business that | ||||||
5 | has annual gross sales of less than $75,000,000 as evidenced by | ||||||

7 | gross sales in excess of this cap may apply to the Council for | ||||||
8 | certification for a particular contract if the firm can | ||||||
9 | demonstrate that the contract would have significant impact on | ||||||
10 | businesses owned by minorities, females, or persons with | ||||||
11 | disabilities as suppliers or subcontractors or in employment of | ||||||
12 | minorities, females, or persons with disabilities.
| ||||||
13 | (B) When a business concern is owned at least 51% by any | ||||||
14 | combination of
minority persons, females, or persons with | ||||||
15 | disabilities,
even though none of the 3 classes alone holds at | ||||||
16 | least a 51% interest, the
ownership
requirement for purposes of | ||||||
17 | this Act is considered to be met. The
certification category | ||||||
18 | for the business is that of the class holding the
largest | ||||||
19 | ownership
interest in the business. If 2 or more classes have | ||||||
20 | equal ownership interests,
the certification category shall be | ||||||
21 | determined by
the business concern.

25 | Section 175. The State Property Control Act is amended by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | changing Section 7.1 as follows:
| ||||||
2 | (30 ILCS 605/7.1) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.1)
| ||||||
3 | Sec. 7.1.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all | ||||||
4 | surplus real
property held by the State of Illinois shall be | ||||||
5 | disposed of by the
administrator as provided in this Section. | ||||||
6 | "Surplus real property," as
used in this Section, means any | ||||||
7 | real property to which the State holds fee
simple title or
| ||||||
8 | lesser interest, and is vacant, unoccupied or unused and which | ||||||
9 | has no
foreseeable use by the owning agency.
| ||||||
10 | (b) All responsible officers shall submit an Annual Real | ||||||
11 | Property
Utilization Report to the Administrator, or annual | ||||||
12 | update of such
report, on forms required by the Administrator, | ||||||
13 | by July 31 of each year.
The Administrator may require such | ||||||
14 | documentation as he deems reasonably
necessary in connection | ||||||
15 | with this Report, and shall require that such
Report include | ||||||
16 | the following information:
| ||||||
17 | (1) A legal description of all real property owned by the | ||||||
18 | State
under the control of the responsible officer.
| ||||||
19 | (2) A description of the use of the real property listed | ||||||
20 | under (1).
| ||||||
21 | (3) A list of any improvements made to such real property | ||||||
22 | during the
previous year.
| ||||||
23 | (4) The dates on which the State first acquired its | ||||||
24 | interest in such
real property, and the purchase price and | ||||||
25 | source of the funds used to
acquire the property.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (5) Plans for the future use of currently unused real | ||||||
2 | property.
| ||||||
3 | (6) A declaration of any surplus real property.
On or | ||||||
4 | before October 31 of each year the Administrator shall furnish
| ||||||
5 | copies of each responsible officer's report along with a list | ||||||
6 | of surplus
property indexed by legislative district to the | ||||||
7 | General Assembly.
| ||||||
8 | This report shall be filed with the Speaker, the Minority | ||||||
9 | Leader and the
Clerk of the House of Representatives and the | ||||||
10 | President, the Minority
Leader and the Secretary of the Senate | ||||||
11 | and shall be duplicated and made
available to the members of | ||||||
12 | the General Assembly for evaluation by such
members for | ||||||
13 | possible liquidation of unused public property at public sale.
| ||||||
14 | (c) Following receipt of the Annual Real Property | ||||||
15 | Utilization Report
required under paragraph (b), the | ||||||
16 | Administrator shall notify all State
agencies by October 31 of | ||||||
17 | all declared surplus real
property. Any State
agency may submit | ||||||
18 | a written request to the Administrator, within 60 days
of the | ||||||
19 | date of such notification, to have control of surplus real
| ||||||
20 | property transferred to that agency. Such request must indicate | ||||||
21 | the
reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of | ||||||
22 | such surplus
real property. The Administrator may deny any or | ||||||
23 | all such requests by a
State agency or agencies if the | ||||||
24 | Administrator determines that it is more
advantageous to the | ||||||
25 | State to dispose of the surplus real property under
paragraph | ||||||
26 | (d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | received from more than one State agency, the Administrator | ||||||
2 | shall weigh
the benefits to the State and determine to which | ||||||
3 | agency, if any, to
transfer control of such property. The | ||||||
4 | Administrator shall coordinate
the use and disposal of State | ||||||
5 | surplus real property with any State space
utilization program.
| ||||||
6 | (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to | ||||||
7 | the
control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall | ||||||
8 | be disposed of
by the Administrator. No appraisal is required | ||||||
9 | if during his initial
survey of surplus real property the | ||||||
10 | Administrator determines such
property has a fair market value | ||||||
11 | of less than $5,000. If the value of
such property is | ||||||
12 | determined by the Administrator in his initial survey
to be | ||||||
13 | $5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3 | ||||||
14 | appraisals
of such real property, one of which shall be | ||||||
15 | performed by an appraiser
residing in the county in which said | ||||||
16 | surplus real property is located.
The average of these 3 | ||||||
17 | appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the
appraisals, shall | ||||||
18 | represent the fair market value of the surplus real
property. | ||||||
19 | No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator
| ||||||
20 | for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the | ||||||
21 | surplus real
property for sale to the public the Administrator | ||||||
22 | shall give notice in
writing of the existence and fair market | ||||||
23 | value of the surplus real
property to the governing bodies of | ||||||
24 | the county and of all cities,
villages and incorporated towns | ||||||
25 | in the county in which such real
property is located. Any such | ||||||
26 | governing body may exercise its option to
acquire the surplus |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | real property for the fair market value within 60
days of the | ||||||
2 | notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the
Administrator | ||||||
3 | may sell the surplus real property by public auction
following | ||||||
4 | notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less
| ||||||
5 | than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State | ||||||
6 | newspaper
and in a newspaper having general circulation in the | ||||||
7 | county in which the
surplus real property is located. The | ||||||
8 | Administrator shall post "For
Sale" signs of a conspicuous | ||||||
9 | nature on such surplus real property
offered for sale to the | ||||||
10 | public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus
real property | ||||||
11 | are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of
such | ||||||
12 | property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary | ||||||
13 | to
convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys | ||||||
14 | received
for the sale of surplus real property shall be | ||||||
15 | deposited in the General
Revenue Fund, except that: | ||||||
16 | (1) Where moneys expended for the acquisition of such
| ||||||
17 | real property were from a special fund which is still a | ||||||
18 | special fund in
the State treasury, this special fund shall | ||||||
19 | be reimbursed in the amount
of the original expenditure and | ||||||
20 | any amount in excess thereof shall be
deposited in the | ||||||
21 | General Revenue Fund. | ||||||
22 | (2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by | ||||||
23 | the Department of Human Services is closed and the real | ||||||
24 | estate on which the facility is located is sold by the | ||||||
25 | State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate | ||||||
26 | shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Medicaid Trust Fund. | ||||||
2 | (3) Whenever a State developmental disabilities | ||||||
3 | facility operated by the Department of Human Services is | ||||||
4 | closed and the real estate on which the facility is located | ||||||
5 | is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the | ||||||
6 | real estate shall be deposited into the Community | ||||||
7 | Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.
| ||||||
8 | The Administrator shall have authority to order such | ||||||
9 | surveys, abstracts
of title, or commitments for title insurance | ||||||
10 | as may, in his reasonable
discretion, be deemed necessary to | ||||||
11 | demonstrate to prospective purchasers or
bidders good and | ||||||
12 | marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant
to | ||||||
13 | this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the | ||||||
14 | General
Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the | ||||||
15 | Administrator shall be by
quit claim deed.
| ||||||
16 | (e) The Administrator shall submit an annual report on or | ||||||
17 | before
February 1 to the Governor and the General Assembly | ||||||
18 | containing a
detailed statement of surplus real property either | ||||||
19 | transferred or
conveyed under this Section.

| ||||||
3 | Section 185. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | ||||||
4 | changing Sections 201, 606, and 807 and by setting forth, | ||||||
5 | renumbering, and changing multiple versions of Section 507SS as | ||||||
6 | follows:
| ||||||
7 | (35 ILCS 5/201) (from Ch. 120, par. 2-201)
| ||||||
8 | Sec. 201. Tax Imposed.
| ||||||
9 | (a) In general. A tax measured by net income is hereby | ||||||
10 | imposed on every
individual, corporation, trust and estate for | ||||||
11 | each taxable year ending
after July 31, 1969 on the privilege | ||||||
12 | of earning or receiving income in or
as a resident of this | ||||||
13 | State. Such tax shall be in addition to all other
occupation or | ||||||
14 | privilege taxes imposed by this State or by any municipal
| ||||||
15 | corporation or political subdivision thereof.
| ||||||
16 | (b) Rates. The tax imposed by subsection (a) of this | ||||||
17 | Section shall be
determined as follows, except as adjusted by | ||||||
18 | subsection (d-1):
| ||||||
19 | (1) In the case of an individual, trust or estate, for | ||||||
20 | taxable years
ending prior to July 1, 1989, an amount equal | ||||||
21 | to 2 1/2% of the taxpayer's
net income for the taxable | ||||||
22 | year.
| ||||||
23 | (2) In the case of an individual, trust or estate, for | ||||||
24 | taxable years
beginning prior to July 1, 1989 and ending |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | after June 30, 1989, an amount
equal to the sum of (i) 2 | ||||||
2 | 1/2% of the taxpayer's net income for the period
prior to | ||||||
3 | July 1, 1989, as calculated under Section 202.3, and (ii) | ||||||
4 | 3% of the
taxpayer's net income for the period after June | ||||||
5 | 30, 1989, as calculated
under Section 202.3.
| ||||||
6 | (3) In the case of an individual, trust or estate, for | ||||||
7 | taxable years
beginning after June 30, 1989, an amount | ||||||
8 | equal to 3% of the taxpayer's net
income for the taxable | ||||||
9 | year.
| ||||||
10 | (4) (Blank).
| ||||||
11 | (5) (Blank).
| ||||||
12 | (6) In the case of a corporation, for taxable years
| ||||||
13 | ending prior to July 1, 1989, an amount equal to 4% of the
| ||||||
14 | taxpayer's net income for the taxable year.
| ||||||
15 | (7) In the case of a corporation, for taxable years | ||||||
16 | beginning prior to
July 1, 1989 and ending after June 30, | ||||||
17 | 1989, an amount equal to the sum of
(i) 4% of the | ||||||
18 | taxpayer's net income for the period prior to July 1, 1989,
| ||||||
19 | as calculated under Section 202.3, and (ii) 4.8% of the | ||||||
20 | taxpayer's net
income for the period after June 30, 1989, | ||||||
21 | as calculated under Section
202.3.
| ||||||
22 | (8) In the case of a corporation, for taxable years | ||||||
23 | beginning after
June 30, 1989, an amount equal to 4.8% of | ||||||
24 | the taxpayer's net income for the
taxable year.
| ||||||
25 | (c) Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax.
| ||||||
26 | Beginning on July 1, 1979 and thereafter, in addition to such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | income
tax, there is also hereby imposed the Personal Property | ||||||
2 | Tax Replacement
Income Tax measured by net income on every | ||||||
3 | corporation (including Subchapter
S corporations), partnership | ||||||
4 | and trust, for each taxable year ending after
June 30, 1979. | ||||||
5 | Such taxes are imposed on the privilege of earning or
receiving | ||||||
6 | income in or as a resident of this State. The Personal Property
| ||||||
7 | Tax Replacement Income Tax shall be in addition to the income | ||||||
8 | tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section and in | ||||||
9 | addition to all other
occupation or privilege taxes imposed by | ||||||
10 | this State or by any municipal
corporation or political | ||||||
11 | subdivision thereof.
| ||||||
12 | (d) Additional Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | ||||||
13 | Tax Rates.
The personal property tax replacement income tax | ||||||
14 | imposed by this subsection
and subsection (c) of this Section | ||||||
15 | in the case of a corporation, other
than a Subchapter S | ||||||
16 | corporation and except as adjusted by subsection (d-1),
shall | ||||||
17 | be an additional amount equal to
2.85% of such taxpayer's net | ||||||
18 | income for the taxable year, except that
beginning on January | ||||||
19 | 1, 1981, and thereafter, the rate of 2.85% specified
in this | ||||||
20 | subsection shall be reduced to 2.5%, and in the case of a
| ||||||
21 | partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an | ||||||
22 | additional
amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income | ||||||
23 | for the taxable year.
| ||||||
24 | (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the | ||||||
25 | case of a
foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the | ||||||
26 | Illinois Insurance Code,
whose state or country of domicile |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois
a retaliatory tax | ||||||
2 | (excluding any insurer
whose premiums from reinsurance assumed | ||||||
3 | are 50% or more of its total insurance
premiums as determined | ||||||
4 | under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304,
except | ||||||
5 | that for purposes of this determination premiums from | ||||||
6 | reinsurance do
not include premiums from inter-affiliate | ||||||
7 | reinsurance arrangements),
beginning with taxable years ending | ||||||
8 | on or after December 31, 1999,
the sum of
the rates of tax | ||||||
9 | imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
| ||||||
10 | increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed | ||||||
11 | under this Act,
net of all credits allowed under this Act, | ||||||
12 | shall equal (i) the total amount of
tax that would be imposed | ||||||
13 | on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to
Illinois for | ||||||
14 | the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
| ||||||
15 | domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes | ||||||
16 | and taxes
measured by net income imposed by such foreign | ||||||
17 | insurer's state or country of
domicile, net of all credits | ||||||
18 | allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is
imposed on such | ||||||
19 | income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile.
For the | ||||||
20 | purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes | ||||||
21 | a
mutual insurer under common management.
| ||||||
22 | (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event | ||||||
23 | shall the sum of the
rates of tax imposed by subsections | ||||||
24 | (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at
which the sum of:
| ||||||
25 | (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign | ||||||
26 | insurer under
this Act for a taxable year, net of all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credits allowed under this Act, plus
| ||||||
2 | (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Insurance
Code, the fire insurance company | ||||||
4 | tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
Investigation | ||||||
5 | Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under | ||||||
6 | Section 11-10-1
of the Illinois Municipal Code,
| ||||||
7 | equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31, | ||||||
8 | 2003, or
1.75% for taxable years ending on or after | ||||||
9 | December 31, 2003, of the net
taxable premiums written for | ||||||
10 | the taxable year,
as described by subsection (1) of Section | ||||||
11 | 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code.
This paragraph will in | ||||||
12 | no event increase the rates imposed under subsections
(b) | ||||||
13 | and (d).
| ||||||
14 | (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this | ||||||
15 | subsection shall be
applied first against the rates imposed | ||||||
16 | by subsection (b) and only after the
tax imposed by | ||||||
17 | subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this | ||||||
18 | Section
other than the credit allowed under subsection (i) | ||||||
19 | has been reduced to zero,
against the rates imposed by | ||||||
20 | subsection (d).
| ||||||
21 | This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of | ||||||
22 | Section 250.
| ||||||
23 | (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
| ||||||
24 | against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
| ||||||
25 | investment in qualified property.
| ||||||
26 | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5% |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of
the basis of qualified property placed in service during | ||||||
2 | the taxable year,
provided such property is placed in | ||||||
3 | service on or after
July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an | ||||||
4 | additional credit equal
to .5% of the basis of qualified | ||||||
5 | property placed in service during the
taxable year, | ||||||
6 | provided such property is placed in service on or
after | ||||||
7 | July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
within | ||||||
8 | Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding | ||||||
9 | year as
determined by the taxpayer's employment records | ||||||
10 | filed with the
Illinois Department of Employment Security. | ||||||
11 | Taxpayers who are new to
Illinois shall be deemed to have | ||||||
12 | met the 1% growth in base employment for
the first year in | ||||||
13 | which they file employment records with the Illinois
| ||||||
14 | Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to | ||||||
15 | this Section by
Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public | ||||||
16 | Act 87-895) shall be
construed as declaratory of existing | ||||||
17 | law and not as a new enactment. If,
in any year, the | ||||||
18 | increase in base employment within Illinois over the
| ||||||
19 | preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall | ||||||
20 | be limited to that
percentage times a fraction, the | ||||||
21 | numerator of which is .5% and the denominator
of which is | ||||||
22 | 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall | ||||||
23 | not be
allowed to the extent that it would reduce a | ||||||
24 | taxpayer's liability in any tax
year below zero, nor may | ||||||
25 | any credit for qualified property be allowed for any
year | ||||||
26 | other than the year in which the property was placed in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | service in
Illinois. For tax years ending on or after | ||||||
2 | December 31, 1987, and on or
before December 31, 1988, the | ||||||
3 | credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
which the | ||||||
4 | property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the | ||||||
5 | credit
exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it | ||||||
6 | exceeds the original
liability or the liability as later | ||||||
7 | amended, such excess may be carried
forward and applied to | ||||||
8 | the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following
the | ||||||
9 | excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments | ||||||
10 | which cause
the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time | ||||||
11 | equivalent jobs in Illinois,
(ii) is located in an | ||||||
12 | enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
| ||||||
13 | Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the | ||||||
14 | Department of Commerce
and Community Affairs (now | ||||||
15 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as | ||||||
16 | complying with the requirements specified in
clause (i) and | ||||||
17 | (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
| ||||||
18 | Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
19 | Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all | ||||||
20 | such
certifications immediately. For tax years ending | ||||||
21 | after December 31, 1988,
the credit shall be allowed for | ||||||
22 | the tax year in which the property is
placed in service, | ||||||
23 | or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
liability | ||||||
24 | for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or | ||||||
25 | the
liability as later amended, such excess may be carried | ||||||
26 | forward and applied
to the tax liability of the 5 taxable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | years following the excess credit
years. The credit shall | ||||||
2 | be applied to the earliest year for which there is
a | ||||||
3 | liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year | ||||||
4 | that is
available to offset a liability, earlier credit | ||||||
5 | shall be applied first.
| ||||||
6 | (2) The term "qualified property" means property | ||||||
7 | which:
| ||||||
8 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
9 | buildings and structural
components of buildings and | ||||||
10 | signs that are real property, but not including
land or | ||||||
11 | improvements to real property that are not a structural | ||||||
12 | component of a
building such as landscaping, sewer | ||||||
13 | lines, local access roads, fencing, parking
lots, and | ||||||
14 | other appurtenances;
| ||||||
15 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
16 | Internal Revenue Code,
except that "3-year property" | ||||||
17 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
Code is not | ||||||
18 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
19 | (e);
| ||||||
20 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
21 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code;
| ||||||
22 | (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is | ||||||
23 | primarily engaged in
manufacturing, or in mining coal | ||||||
24 | or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service | ||||||
25 | on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment | ||||||
26 | Zone established pursuant to the River Edge |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Redevelopment Zone Act; and
| ||||||
2 | (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in | ||||||
3 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
4 | the credit provided by this subsection
(e) or | ||||||
5 | subsection (f).
| ||||||
6 | (3) For purposes of this subsection (e), | ||||||
7 | "manufacturing" means
the material staging and production | ||||||
8 | of tangible personal property by
procedures commonly | ||||||
9 | regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
| ||||||
10 | assembling which changes some existing material into new | ||||||
11 | shapes, new
qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of | ||||||
12 | this subsection
(e) the term "mining" shall have the same | ||||||
13 | meaning as the term "mining" in
Section 613(c) of the | ||||||
14 | Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
(e), | ||||||
15 | the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal | ||||||
16 | property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
| ||||||
17 | services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible | ||||||
18 | personal property for use or consumption and not for | ||||||
19 | resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible | ||||||
20 | personal property" has the same meaning as when that term | ||||||
21 | is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for | ||||||
22 | taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not | ||||||
23 | include the generation, transmission, or distribution of | ||||||
24 | electricity.
| ||||||
25 | (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
| ||||||
26 | used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | income tax purposes.
| ||||||
2 | (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
3 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
4 | in service in Illinois by
the taxpayer, the amount of such | ||||||
5 | increase shall be deemed property placed
in service on the | ||||||
6 | date of such increase in basis.
| ||||||
7 | (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
| ||||||
8 | meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
| ||||||
9 | (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
| ||||||
10 | be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within | ||||||
11 | 48 months after
being placed in service, or the situs of | ||||||
12 | any qualified property is
moved outside Illinois within 48 | ||||||
13 | months after being placed in service, the
Personal Property | ||||||
14 | Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
| ||||||
15 | increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i) | ||||||
16 | recomputing the
investment credit which would have been | ||||||
17 | allowed for the year in which
credit for such property was | ||||||
18 | originally allowed by eliminating such
property from such | ||||||
19 | computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
| ||||||
20 | from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the | ||||||
21 | purposes of this
paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of | ||||||
22 | qualified property resulting
from a redetermination of the | ||||||
23 | purchase price shall be deemed a disposition
of qualified | ||||||
24 | property to the extent of such reduction.
| ||||||
25 | (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law, | ||||||
26 | the
basis of qualified property shall not include costs |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | incurred after
December 31, 2013, except for costs incurred | ||||||
2 | pursuant to a binding
contract entered into on or before | ||||||
3 | December 31, 2013.
| ||||||
4 | (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000, | ||||||
5 | a partnership may
elect to pass through to its
partners the | ||||||
6 | credits to which the partnership is entitled under this | ||||||
7 | subsection
(e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the | ||||||
8 | credit allocated to him or her
under this paragraph only | ||||||
9 | against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of
this | ||||||
10 | Section. If the partnership makes that election, those | ||||||
11 | credits shall be
allocated among the partners in the | ||||||
12 | partnership in accordance with the rules
set forth in | ||||||
13 | Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
| ||||||
14 | promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of | ||||||
15 | the credits shall
be allowed to the partners for that | ||||||
16 | taxable year. The partnership shall make
this election on | ||||||
17 | its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
| ||||||
18 | that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits | ||||||
19 | shall be
irrevocable.
| ||||||
20 | For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000, | ||||||
21 | a
partner that qualifies its
partnership for a subtraction | ||||||
22 | under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of
subsection (d) | ||||||
23 | of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter | ||||||
24 | S
corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of | ||||||
25 | paragraph (2) of
subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be | ||||||
26 | allowed a credit under this subsection
(e) equal to its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
| ||||||
2 | the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
3 | corporation, determined in
accordance with the | ||||||
4 | determination of income and distributive share of
income | ||||||
5 | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal | ||||||
6 | Revenue
Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions | ||||||
7 | of Section 250.
| ||||||
8 | (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge | ||||||
9 | Redevelopment Zone.
| ||||||
10 | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the | ||||||
11 | tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for | ||||||
12 | investment in qualified
property which is placed in service | ||||||
13 | in an Enterprise Zone created
pursuant to the Illinois | ||||||
14 | Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on | ||||||
15 | or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone | ||||||
16 | established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone | ||||||
17 | Act. For partners, shareholders
of Subchapter S | ||||||
18 | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
| ||||||
19 | if the liability company is treated as a partnership for | ||||||
20 | purposes of
federal and State income taxation, there shall | ||||||
21 | be allowed a credit under
this subsection (f) to be | ||||||
22 | determined in accordance with the determination
of income | ||||||
23 | and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | ||||||
24 | and
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit | ||||||
25 | shall be .5% of the
basis for such property. The credit | ||||||
26 | shall be available only in the taxable
year in which the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or | ||||||
2 | River Edge Redevelopment Zone and
shall not be allowed to | ||||||
3 | the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's
liability for | ||||||
4 | the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section | ||||||
5 | to
below zero. For tax years ending on or after December | ||||||
6 | 31, 1985, the credit
shall be allowed for the tax year in | ||||||
7 | which the property is placed in
service, or, if the amount | ||||||
8 | of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that
year, | ||||||
9 | whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability | ||||||
10 | as later
amended, such excess may be carried forward and | ||||||
11 | applied to the tax
liability of the 5 taxable years | ||||||
12 | following the excess credit year.
The credit shall be | ||||||
13 | applied to the earliest year for which there is a
| ||||||
14 | liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year | ||||||
15 | that is available
to offset a liability, the credit | ||||||
16 | accruing first in time shall be applied
first.
| ||||||
17 | (2) The term qualified property means property which:
| ||||||
18 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
19 | buildings and
structural components of buildings;
| ||||||
20 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
21 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
22 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
23 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
24 | (f);
| ||||||
25 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
26 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge | ||||||
2 | Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
| ||||||
3 | (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in | ||||||
4 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
5 | the credit provided by this subsection
(f) or | ||||||
6 | subsection (e).
| ||||||
7 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
8 | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
9 | income tax purposes.
| ||||||
10 | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
11 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
12 | in service in the Enterprise
Zone or River Edge | ||||||
13 | Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such | ||||||
14 | increase shall be deemed property
placed in service on the | ||||||
15 | date of such increase in basis.
| ||||||
16 | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | ||||||
17 | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
| ||||||
18 | (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to | ||||||
19 | be qualified
property in the hands of the taxpayer within | ||||||
20 | 48 months after being placed
in service, or the situs of | ||||||
21 | any qualified property is moved outside the
Enterprise Zone | ||||||
22 | or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after | ||||||
23 | being placed in service, the tax
imposed under subsections | ||||||
24 | (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year
shall be | ||||||
25 | increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i) | ||||||
26 | recomputing
the investment credit which would have been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allowed for the year in which
credit for such property was | ||||||
2 | originally allowed by eliminating such
property from such | ||||||
3 | computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
| ||||||
4 | from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the | ||||||
5 | purposes of this
paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of | ||||||
6 | qualified property resulting
from a redetermination of the | ||||||
7 | purchase price shall be deemed a disposition
of qualified | ||||||
8 | property to the extent of such reduction.
| ||||||
9 | (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal | ||||||
10 | to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in | ||||||
11 | service during the taxable year in a River Edge | ||||||
12 | Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in | ||||||
13 | service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base | ||||||
14 | employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over | ||||||
15 | the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's | ||||||
16 | employment records filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
17 | Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois | ||||||
18 | shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base | ||||||
19 | employment for the first year in which they file employment | ||||||
20 | records with the Illinois Department of Employment | ||||||
21 | Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment | ||||||
22 | within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%, | ||||||
23 | the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage | ||||||
24 | times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the | ||||||
25 | denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
| ||||||
26 | (g) Jobs Tax Credit; Enterprise Zone, River Edge |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Redevelopment Zone, and Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.
| ||||||
2 | (1) A taxpayer conducting a trade or business in an | ||||||
3 | enterprise zone

4 | Department of Commerce and
Economic Opportunity or for | ||||||
5 | taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2006, in a | ||||||
6 | River Edge Redevelopment Zone conducting a trade or | ||||||
7 | business in a federally designated
Foreign Trade Zone or | ||||||
8 | Sub-Zone shall be allowed a credit against the tax

11 | the taxable year.
| ||||||
12 | (2) To qualify for the credit:
| ||||||
13 | (A) the taxpayer must hire 5 or more eligible | ||||||
14 | employees to work in an
enterprise zone, River Edge | ||||||
15 | Redevelopment Zone, or federally designated Foreign | ||||||
16 | Trade Zone or Sub-Zone
during the taxable year;
| ||||||
17 | (B) the taxpayer's total employment within the | ||||||
18 | enterprise zone, River Edge Redevelopment Zone, or
| ||||||
19 | federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone | ||||||
20 | must
increase by 5 or more full-time employees beyond | ||||||
21 | the total employed in that
zone at the end of the | ||||||
22 | previous tax year for which a jobs tax
credit under | ||||||
23 | this Section was taken, or beyond the total employed by | ||||||
24 | the
taxpayer as of December 31, 1985, whichever is | ||||||
25 | later; and
| ||||||
26 | (C) the eligible employees must be employed 180 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consecutive days in
order to be deemed hired for | ||||||
2 | purposes of this subsection.
| ||||||
3 | (3) An "eligible employee" means an employee who is:
| ||||||
4 | (A) Certified by the Department of Commerce and | ||||||
5 | Economic Opportunity
as "eligible for services" | ||||||
6 | pursuant to regulations promulgated in
accordance with | ||||||
7 | Title II of the Job Training Partnership Act, Training

| ||||||
15 | (C) Employed in the enterprise zone, River Edge | ||||||
16 | Redevelopment Zone, or Foreign Trade Zone or
Sub-Zone. | ||||||
17 | An employee is employed in an
enterprise zone or | ||||||
18 | federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone
if | ||||||
19 | his services are rendered there or it is the base of
| ||||||
20 | operations for the services performed.
| ||||||
21 | (D) A full-time employee working 30 or more hours | ||||||
22 | per week.
| ||||||
23 | (4) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985 | ||||||
24 | and prior to
December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed | ||||||
25 | for the tax year in which
the eligible employees are hired. | ||||||
26 | For tax years ending on or after
December 31, 1988, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
| ||||||
2 | following the tax year in which the eligible employees are | ||||||
3 | hired. If the
amount of the credit exceeds the tax | ||||||
4 | liability for that year, whether it
exceeds the original | ||||||
5 | liability or the liability as later amended, such
excess | ||||||
6 | may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of | ||||||
7 | the 5
taxable years following the excess credit year. The | ||||||
8 | credit shall be
applied to the earliest year for which | ||||||
9 | there is a liability. If there is
credit from more than one | ||||||
10 | tax year that is available to offset a liability,
earlier | ||||||
11 | credit shall be applied first.
| ||||||
12 | (5) The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such | ||||||
13 | rules and regulations
as may be deemed necessary to carry | ||||||
14 | out the purposes of this subsection (g).
| ||||||
15 | (6) The credit shall be available for eligible | ||||||
16 | employees hired on or
after January 1, 1986.
| ||||||
17 | (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business.
| ||||||
18 | (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section
5.5 | ||||||
19 | of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall be | ||||||
20 | allowed a credit
against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | ||||||
21 | and (b) of this Section for
investment in qualified
| ||||||
22 | property which is placed in service by a Department of | ||||||
23 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity
designated High Impact | ||||||
24 | Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis
for such | ||||||
25 | property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the | ||||||
26 | minimum
investments in qualified property set forth in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subdivision (a)(3)(A) of
Section 5.5 of the Illinois
| ||||||
2 | Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied
or (ii) until the | ||||||
3 | time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
| ||||||
4 | Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact | ||||||
5 | Businesses under
subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and | ||||||
6 | (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
Enterprise Zone | ||||||
7 | Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
| ||||||
8 | reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by | ||||||
9 | subsections (a) and (b) of
this Section to below zero. The | ||||||
10 | credit applicable to such investments shall be
taken in the | ||||||
11 | taxable year in which such investments have been completed. | ||||||
12 | The
credit for additional investments beyond the minimum | ||||||
13 | investment by a designated
high impact business authorized | ||||||
14 | under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of
the Illinois | ||||||
15 | Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable | ||||||
16 | year in
which the property is placed in service and shall | ||||||
17 | not be allowed to the extent
that it would reduce a | ||||||
18 | taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections
(a) | ||||||
19 | and (b) of this Section to below zero.
For tax years ending | ||||||
20 | on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be
allowed | ||||||
21 | for the tax year in which the property is placed in | ||||||
22 | service, or, if
the amount of the credit exceeds the tax | ||||||
23 | liability for that year, whether
it exceeds the original | ||||||
24 | liability or the liability as later amended, such
excess | ||||||
25 | may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of | ||||||
26 | the 5
taxable years following the excess credit year. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credit shall be
applied to the earliest year for which | ||||||
2 | there is a liability. If there is
credit from more than one | ||||||
3 | tax year that is available to offset a liability,
the | ||||||
4 | credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
| ||||||
5 | Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act | ||||||
6 | 88-670
restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and | ||||||
7 | reflect existing law.
| ||||||
8 | (2) The term qualified property means property which:
| ||||||
9 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
10 | buildings and
structural components of buildings;
| ||||||
11 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
12 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
13 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
14 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
15 | (h);
| ||||||
16 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
17 | 179(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code; and
| ||||||
18 | (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone | ||||||
19 | Investment Credit provided
by subsection (f) of this | ||||||
20 | Section.
| ||||||
21 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
22 | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
23 | income tax purposes.
| ||||||
24 | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
25 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
26 | in service in a federally
designated Foreign Trade Zone or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer,
the amount of | ||||||
2 | such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
| ||||||
3 | the date of such increase in basis.
| ||||||
4 | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | ||||||
5 | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
| ||||||
6 | (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before | ||||||
7 | December 31, 1996,
any property ceases to be qualified
| ||||||
8 | property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months | ||||||
9 | after being placed
in service, or the situs of any | ||||||
10 | qualified property is moved outside
Illinois within 48 | ||||||
11 | months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
under | ||||||
12 | subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable | ||||||
13 | year shall
be increased. Such increase shall be determined | ||||||
14 | by (i) recomputing the
investment credit which would have | ||||||
15 | been allowed for the year in which
credit for such property | ||||||
16 | was originally allowed by eliminating such
property from | ||||||
17 | such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed | ||||||
18 | credit
from the amount of credit previously allowed. For | ||||||
19 | the purposes of this
paragraph (6), a reduction of the | ||||||
20 | basis of qualified property resulting
from a | ||||||
21 | redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a | ||||||
22 | disposition
of qualified property to the extent of such | ||||||
23 | reduction.
| ||||||
24 | (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31, | ||||||
25 | 1996, if a
taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this | ||||||
26 | subsection (h) and thereby is
granted a tax abatement and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in
violation of | ||||||
2 | the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
| ||||||
3 | 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under | ||||||
4 | subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased | ||||||
5 | for the taxable year
in which the taxpayer relocated its | ||||||
6 | facility by an amount equal to the
amount of credit | ||||||
7 | received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
| ||||||
8 | (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | ||||||
9 | Tax.
For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit | ||||||
10 | shall be allowed
against the tax imposed by
subsections (a) and | ||||||
11 | (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c)
and | ||||||
12 | (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by | ||||||
13 | multiplying the tax
imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
14 | Section by a fraction, the numerator
of which is base income | ||||||
15 | allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is
Illinois | ||||||
16 | base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax | ||||||
17 | rate
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
| ||||||
18 | Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under
this | ||||||
19 | subsection which is unused in the year
the credit is computed | ||||||
20 | because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by
subsections (a) | ||||||
21 | and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
| ||||||
22 | liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried | ||||||
23 | forward and
applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections | ||||||
24 | (a) and (b) of the 5
taxable years following the excess credit | ||||||
25 | year, provided that no credit may
be carried forward to any | ||||||
26 | year ending on or
after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applied first to the earliest year for which there is a | ||||||
2 | liability. If
there is a credit under this subsection from more | ||||||
3 | than one tax year that is
available to offset a liability the | ||||||
4 | earliest credit arising under this
subsection shall be applied | ||||||
5 | first.
| ||||||
6 | If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
7 | 1986, the
tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
8 | Section for which a taxpayer
has claimed a credit under this | ||||||
9 | subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of
credit for such tax | ||||||
10 | shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be
determined by | ||||||
11 | recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
| ||||||
12 | imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
| ||||||
13 | reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different | ||||||
14 | taxable year, an
amended return shall be filed for such taxable | ||||||
15 | year to reduce the amount of
credit claimed.
| ||||||
16 | (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
17 | ending on or
after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31, | ||||||
18 | 2003, a taxpayer shall be
allowed a credit against the
tax | ||||||
19 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section
for all | ||||||
20 | amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons
employed by | ||||||
21 | the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed
outside | ||||||
22 | of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational | ||||||
23 | training in
semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled | ||||||
24 | or skilled fields, which
were deducted from gross income in the | ||||||
25 | computation of taxable income. The
credit against the tax | ||||||
26 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of
such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
| ||||||
2 | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the | ||||||
3 | liability
company is treated as a partnership for purposes of | ||||||
4 | federal and State income
taxation, there shall be allowed a | ||||||
5 | credit under this subsection (j) to be
determined in accordance | ||||||
6 | with the determination of income and distributive
share of | ||||||
7 | income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the | ||||||
8 | Internal
Revenue Code.
| ||||||
9 | Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in | ||||||
10 | the year
the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of | ||||||
11 | the 5 taxable
years following the year for which the credit is | ||||||
12 | first computed until it is
used. This credit shall be applied | ||||||
13 | first to the earliest year for which
there is a liability. If | ||||||
14 | there is a credit under this subsection from more
than one tax | ||||||
15 | year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
| ||||||
16 | credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No | ||||||
17 | carryforward
credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or | ||||||
18 | after
December 31, 2003.
| ||||||
19 | (k) Research and development credit.
| ||||||
20 | For tax years ending after July 1, 1990 and prior to
| ||||||
21 | December 31, 2003, and beginning again for tax years ending on | ||||||
22 | or after December 31, 2004, a taxpayer shall be
allowed a | ||||||
23 | credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
24 | this
Section for increasing research activities in this State. | ||||||
25 | The credit
allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | ||||||
26 | and (b) shall be equal
to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for increasing research activities
in this State. For partners, | ||||||
2 | shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and
owners of | ||||||
3 | limited liability companies, if the liability company is | ||||||
4 | treated as a
partnership for purposes of federal and State | ||||||
5 | income taxation, there shall be
allowed a credit under this | ||||||
6 | subsection to be determined in accordance with the
| ||||||
7 | determination of income and distributive share of income under | ||||||
8 | Sections 702 and
704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
9 | Code.
| ||||||
10 | For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures" | ||||||
11 | means the
qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal | ||||||
12 | credit for increasing
research activities which would be | ||||||
13 | allowable under Section 41 of the
Internal Revenue Code and | ||||||
14 | which are conducted in this State, "qualifying
expenditures for | ||||||
15 | increasing research activities in this State" means the
excess | ||||||
16 | of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which | ||||||
17 | incurred
over qualifying expenditures for the base period, | ||||||
18 | "qualifying expenditures
for the base period" means the average | ||||||
19 | of the qualifying expenditures for
each year in the base | ||||||
20 | period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
immediately | ||||||
21 | preceding the taxable year for which the determination is
being | ||||||
22 | made.
| ||||||
23 | Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable | ||||||
24 | year
may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
| ||||||
25 | unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over | ||||||
26 | as a credit
against the tax liability for the following 5 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxable years or until it has
been fully used, whichever occurs | ||||||
2 | first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending | ||||||
3 | prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year | ||||||
4 | ending on or after December 31, 2003.
| ||||||
5 | If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from | ||||||
6 | 2 or more
earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest | ||||||
7 | year will be applied
first against the tax liability for the | ||||||
8 | given year. If a tax liability for
the given year still | ||||||
9 | remains, the credit from the next earliest year will
then be | ||||||
10 | applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
| ||||||
11 | liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused | ||||||
12 | credit or
credits then will be carried forward to the next | ||||||
13 | following year in which a
tax liability is incurred, except | ||||||
14 | that no credit can be carried forward to
a year which is more | ||||||
15 | than 5 years after the year in which the expense for
which the | ||||||
16 | credit is given was incurred.
| ||||||
17 | No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
18 | 91st General
Assembly in construing this Section for taxable | ||||||
19 | years beginning before January
1, 1999.
| ||||||
20 | (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
| ||||||
21 | (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on | ||||||
22 | or before
December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a | ||||||
23 | credit against the tax
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
24 | of this Section for certain amounts paid
for unreimbursed | ||||||
25 | eligible remediation costs, as specified in this | ||||||
26 | subsection.
For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | eligible remediation costs" means
costs approved by the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
| ||||||
3 | Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were | ||||||
4 | paid in performing
environmental remediation at a site for | ||||||
5 | which a No Further Remediation Letter
was issued by the | ||||||
6 | Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the | ||||||
7 | Environmental
Protection Act. The credit must be claimed | ||||||
8 | for the taxable year in which
Agency approval of the | ||||||
9 | eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
not | ||||||
10 | available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related | ||||||
11 | party caused or
contributed to, in any material respect, a | ||||||
12 | release of regulated substances on,
in, or under the site | ||||||
13 | that was identified and addressed by the remedial
action | ||||||
14 | pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the | ||||||
15 | Environmental Protection
Act. After the Pollution Control | ||||||
16 | Board rules are adopted pursuant to the
Illinois | ||||||
17 | Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and | ||||||
18 | enforcement of
Section 58.9 of the Environmental | ||||||
19 | Protection Act, determinations as to credit
availability | ||||||
20 | for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with | ||||||
21 | those
rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" | ||||||
22 | includes a person whose tax
attributes the taxpayer has | ||||||
23 | succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal
Revenue Code | ||||||
24 | and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a | ||||||
25 | deduction
for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of | ||||||
26 | Section 267 of the Internal
Revenue Code by virtue of being |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a related taxpayer, as well as any of its
partners. The | ||||||
2 | credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | ||||||
3 | and
(b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible | ||||||
4 | remediation costs in
excess of $100,000 per site, except | ||||||
5 | that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply
to any site | ||||||
6 | contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the | ||||||
7 | Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs (now | ||||||
8 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The | ||||||

17 | unused in the year
the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
18 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years
following the year | ||||||
19 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used.
The | ||||||
20 | term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of | ||||||
21 | unreimbursed eligible
remediation costs in excess of the | ||||||
22 | maximum credit per site authorized under
paragraph (i). | ||||||
23 | This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
for | ||||||
24 | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | ||||||
25 | subsection
from more than one tax year that is available to | ||||||
26 | offset a liability, the
earliest credit arising under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection shall be applied first. A
credit allowed under | ||||||
2 | this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale
of | ||||||
3 | all or part of the remediation site for which the credit | ||||||
4 | was granted. The
purchaser of a remediation site and the | ||||||
5 | tax credit shall succeed to the unused
credit and remaining | ||||||
6 | carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
| ||||||
7 | transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the | ||||||
8 | chain of title for the
site and provide written notice to | ||||||
9 | the Director of the Illinois Department of
Revenue of the | ||||||
10 | assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the | ||||||
11 | amount of
the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of | ||||||
12 | the sale. In no event may a
credit be transferred to any | ||||||
13 | taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would
not be | ||||||
14 | eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
| ||||||
15 | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | ||||||
16 | shall have the same
meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | ||||||
17 | Environmental Protection Act.
| ||||||
18 | (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
19 | ending after

| ||||||
21 | against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this | ||||||
22 | Section for
qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of | ||||||
23 | the qualifying pupils.
The credit shall be equal to 25% of | ||||||
24 | qualified education expenses, but in no
event may the total | ||||||
25 | credit under this subsection claimed by a
family that is the

26 | custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credit under
this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability | ||||||
2 | under this Act to less than
zero. This subsection is exempt | ||||||
3 | from the provisions of Section 250 of this

15 | be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of | ||||||
16 | the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is | ||||||
17 | not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | ||||||
18 | related party caused or contributed to, in any material | ||||||
19 | respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under | ||||||
20 | the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial | ||||||
21 | action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the | ||||||
22 | Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit | ||||||

13 | unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
14 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year | ||||||
15 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This | ||||||
16 | credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for | ||||||
17 | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | ||||||
18 | subsection from more than one tax year that is available to | ||||||

| ||||||
2 | Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this | ||||||
3 | Section, the tax
imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of | ||||||
4 | either the selling price or the
fair market value, if any, of | ||||||
5 | the tangible personal property. In all cases
where property | ||||||
6 | functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
| ||||||
7 | was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling | ||||||
8 | price of the
property. In all cases where property functionally | ||||||
9 | used or consumed is a
by-product or waste product that has been | ||||||
10 | refined, manufactured, or produced
from property purchased at | ||||||
11 | retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of the
fair market | ||||||
12 | value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State | ||||||
13 | or on
the selling price of the property purchased at retail. | ||||||
14 | For purposes of this
Section "fair market value" means the | ||||||
15 | price at which property would change
hands between a willing | ||||||
16 | buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any
compulsion | ||||||
17 | to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
| ||||||
18 | relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by | ||||||
19 | Illinois sales by
the taxpayer of the same property as that | ||||||
20 | functionally used or consumed, or if
there are no such sales by | ||||||
21 | the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of
property of | ||||||
22 | like kind and character in Illinois.

6 | sales made
thereafter.
If, at any time, however, the tax under | ||||||
7 | this Act on sales of gasohol is

18 | 2003 and on or before December 31,
2013 and (ii) 100% of the | ||||||

If, at any time, however, | ||||||
20 | the tax under this Act on sales of biodiesel blends
with no | ||||||
21 | less than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel
is imposed at the | ||||||
22 | rate of
1.25%, then the
tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% | ||||||
23 | of the proceeds of sales of biodiesel
blends with no less than | ||||||
24 | 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel
made
during that time.
| ||||||
25 | With respect to 100% biodiesel and biodiesel blends with | ||||||
26 | more than 10%
but no more than 99% biodiesel, the tax imposed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by this Act does not apply to

7 | be consumed off the premises where
it is sold" includes all | ||||||
8 | food sold through a vending machine, except soft
drinks , and | ||||||

14 | through a vending machine, except soft drinks, candy, and food | ||||||

State agency with which, or State | ||||||
14 | officer with whom, the tangible personal
property must be | ||||||
15 | titled or registered (if titling or registration is
required) | ||||||
16 | if the Department and such agency or State officer determine | ||||||
17 | that
this procedure will expedite the processing of | ||||||
18 | applications for title or
registration.
| ||||||
19 | With each such return, the purchaser shall remit the proper | ||||||
20 | amount of tax
due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that | ||||||
21 | the sale is not taxable if
that is the case), to the Department | ||||||
22 | or its agents, whereupon the
Department shall issue, in the | ||||||
23 | purchaser's name, a tax receipt (or a
certificate of exemption | ||||||
24 | if the Department is satisfied that the particular
sale is tax | ||||||
25 | exempt) which such purchaser may submit to the agency with
| ||||||
26 | which, or State officer with whom, he must title or register |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the tangible
personal property that is involved (if titling or | ||||||
2 | registration is required)
in support of such purchaser's | ||||||
3 | application for an Illinois certificate or
other evidence of | ||||||
4 | title or registration to such tangible personal property.
| ||||||
5 | When a purchaser pays a tax imposed by this Act directly to | ||||||
6 | the Department,
the Department (upon request therefor from such | ||||||
7 | purchaser) shall issue an
appropriate receipt to such purchaser | ||||||
8 | showing that he has paid such tax to
the Department. Such | ||||||
9 | receipt shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser
from | ||||||
10 | further liability for the tax to which such receipt may refer.
| ||||||
11 | A user who is liable to pay use tax directly to the | ||||||
12 | Department only
occasionally and not on a frequently recurring | ||||||

required to file returns with the | ||||||
14 | Department as a retailer under Section 9
of this Act, or under | ||||||
15 | the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act", or as a
registrant with | ||||||
16 | the Department under the "Service Occupation Tax Act" or
the | ||||||
17 | "Service Use Tax Act", need not register with the Department.
| ||||||
18 | However, if such a user has a frequently recurring direct use | ||||||
19 | tax liability
to pay to the Department, such user shall be | ||||||
20 | required to register with the
Department on forms prescribed by | ||||||
21 | the Department and to obtain and display
a certificate of | ||||||
22 | registration from the Department. In that event, all of
the | ||||||
23 | provisions of Section 9 of this Act concerning the filing of | ||||||
24 | regular
monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns and all of the | ||||||
25 | provisions of
Section 2a of the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act" | ||||||
26 | concerning the
requirements for registrants to post bond or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other security with the
Department, as the provisions of such | ||||||
2 | sections now exist or may hereafter
be amended, shall apply to | ||||||
3 | such users to the same extent as if such
provisions were | ||||||

19 | shall be construed to require the removal of the vehicle from | ||||||
20 | this state following the filing of an intent to title the | ||||||
21 | vehicle in the purchaser's state of residence if the purchaser | ||||||
22 | titles the vehicle in his or her state of residence within 30 | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | statement, signed under penalty of perjury, of his or her | ||||||

8 | residence. In addition, the retailer must retain a signed copy | ||||||
9 | of the statement in his or her records. Nothing in this item | ||||||
10 | shall be construed to require the removal of the vehicle from | ||||||
11 | this state following the filing of an intent to title the | ||||||
12 | vehicle in the purchaser's state of residence if the purchaser | ||||||
13 | titles the vehicle in his or her state of residence within 30 | ||||||
14 | days after the date of sale. The tax collected under this Act | ||||||
15 | in accordance with this item (25-5) shall be proportionately | ||||||
16 | distributed as if the tax were collected at the 6.25% general | ||||||
17 | rate imposed under this Act.

8 | item (25-7) are met. The certificate must also include the | ||||||
9 | name and address of the purchaser, the address of the | ||||||
10 | location where the aircraft is to be titled or registered, | ||||||
11 | the address of the primary physical location of the | ||||||

Illinois has | ||||||
4 | eliminated the State's share of sales tax on motor fuel and

7 | printed in bold print on a sign
that is no smaller than 4 | ||||||
8 | inches by 8 inches. The sign shall be clearly
visible to | ||||||
9 | customers. Any retailer who fails to post or maintain a | ||||||

11 | offense for which the fine
shall be $500 per day per each | ||||||

If, at any time, | ||||||
19 | however, the tax under this Act on sales of gasohol, as

22 | sales of gasohol
made during that time.
| ||||||
23 | With respect to majority blended ethanol fuel, as defined | ||||||
24 | in the Use Tax Act,

25 | to the proceeds of sales made on or after
July 1, 2003 and on or | ||||||
26 | before December 31, 2013 but applies to 100% of the

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sales made thereafter.
| ||||||
2 | With respect to biodiesel blends, as defined in the Use Tax | ||||||
3 | Act, with no less

6 | "Base year" means the taxable year prior to the taxable | ||||||
7 | year for which the
applicant first qualifies and applies for | ||||||
8 | the exemption provided that in the
prior taxable year the | ||||||
9 | property was improved with a permanent structure that
was | ||||||
10 | occupied as a residence by the applicant who was liable for | ||||||
11 | paying real
property taxes on the property and who was either | ||||||
12 | (i) an owner of record of the
property or had legal or | ||||||
13 | equitable interest in the property as evidenced by a
written | ||||||
14 | instrument or (ii) had a legal or equitable interest as a | ||||||
15 | lessee in the
parcel of property that was single family | ||||||
16 | residence.
If in any subsequent taxable year for which the | ||||||
17 | applicant applies and
qualifies for the exemption the equalized | ||||||
18 | assessed value of the residence is
less than the equalized | ||||||
19 | assessed value in the existing base year
(provided that such | ||||||
20 | equalized assessed value is not
based
on an
assessed value that | ||||||
21 | results from a temporary irregularity in the property that
| ||||||
22 | reduces the
assessed value for one or more taxable years), then | ||||||
23 | that
subsequent taxable year shall become the base year until a | ||||||
24 | new base year is
established under the terms of this paragraph. | ||||||
25 | For taxable year 1999 only, the
Chief County Assessment Officer | ||||||
26 | shall review (i) all taxable years for which
the
applicant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applied and qualified for the exemption and (ii) the existing | ||||||
2 | base
year.
The assessment officer shall select as the new base | ||||||
3 | year the year with the
lowest equalized assessed value.
An | ||||||
4 | equalized assessed value that is based on an assessed value | ||||||
5 | that results
from a
temporary irregularity in the property that | ||||||
6 | reduces the assessed value for one
or more
taxable years shall | ||||||
7 | not be considered the lowest equalized assessed value.
The | ||||||
8 | selected year shall be the base year for
taxable year 1999 and | ||||||
9 | thereafter until a new base year is established under the
terms | ||||||
10 | of this paragraph.

22 | property shall be deemed the residence for the

18 | taxes on that property.
| ||||||
19 | In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the amount of | ||||||
20 | the exemption for all taxable years is the equalized assessed | ||||||
21 | value of the
residence in the taxable year for which | ||||||
22 | application is made minus the base
amount. In all other | ||||||
23 | counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i) | ||||||
24 | through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and | ||||||
25 | thereafter, the amount of this exemption shall be the equalized | ||||||
26 | assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year for which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | application is made minus the base
amount; and (ii) for
taxable | ||||||
2 | year 2006, the amount of the exemption is as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (1) For an applicant who has a household income of | ||||||
4 | $45,000 or less, the amount of the exemption is the | ||||||
5 | equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable | ||||||
6 | year for which application is made minus the base
amount. | ||||||
7 | (2) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
8 | exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of | ||||||
9 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
10 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
11 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8. | ||||||
12 | (3) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
13 | exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of | ||||||
14 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
15 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
16 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.6. | ||||||
17 | (4) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
18 | exceeding $47,500 but not exceeding $48,750, the amount of | ||||||
19 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
20 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
21 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.4. | ||||||
22 | (5) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
23 | exceeding $48,750 but not exceeding $50,000, the amount of | ||||||
24 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | When the applicant is a surviving spouse of an applicant | ||||||
2 | for a prior year for
the same residence for which an exemption | ||||||
3 | under this Section has been granted,
the base year and base | ||||||
4 | amount for that residence are the same as for the
applicant for | ||||||
5 | the prior year.
| ||||||
6 | Each year at the time the assessment books are certified to | ||||||
7 | the County Clerk,
the Board of Review or Board of Appeals shall | ||||||
8 | give to the County Clerk a list
of the assessed values of | ||||||
9 | improvements on each parcel qualifying for this
exemption that | ||||||
10 | were added after the base year for this parcel and that
| ||||||
11 | increased the assessed value of the property.
| ||||||
12 | In the case of land improved with an apartment building | ||||||
13 | owned and operated as
a cooperative or a building that is a | ||||||
14 | life care facility that qualifies as a
cooperative, the maximum | ||||||
15 | reduction from the equalized assessed value of the
property is | ||||||
16 | limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
| ||||||
17 | occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of | ||||||
18 | age or older, (ii) with a
household income that does not exceed | ||||||
19 | the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract | ||||||
20 | with the
owner
or owners of record, for paying real property | ||||||
21 | taxes on the property, and (iv) who is
an owner of record of a | ||||||
22 | legal or equitable interest in the cooperative
apartment | ||||||
23 | building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
| ||||||
24 | cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under | ||||||
25 | this Section,
the cooperative association or its management | ||||||
26 | firm shall credit the savings
resulting from that exemption |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | only to the apportioned tax liability of the
owner who | ||||||
2 | qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses | ||||||
3 | to
credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the | ||||||
4 | exemption is guilty of a
Class B misdemeanor.
| ||||||
5 | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this | ||||||
6 | Section and an
applicant then becomes a resident of a facility | ||||||
7 | licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act or | ||||||
8 | the Nursing Home
Care Act, the exemption shall be granted in | ||||||
9 | subsequent years so long as the
residence (i) continues to be | ||||||
10 | occupied by the qualified applicant's spouse or
(ii) if | ||||||
11 | remaining unoccupied, is still owned by the qualified applicant | ||||||
12 | for the
homestead exemption.
| ||||||
13 | Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who | ||||||
14 | would have qualified
for an exemption under this Section, and | ||||||
15 | the surviving spouse does not
independently qualify for this | ||||||
16 | exemption because of age, the exemption under
this Section | ||||||
17 | shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
| ||||||
18 | preceding and the taxable
year of the death, provided that, | ||||||
19 | except for age, the surviving spouse meets
all
other | ||||||
20 | qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those | ||||||
21 | years.
| ||||||
22 | When married persons maintain separate residences, the | ||||||
23 | exemption provided for
in this Section may be claimed by only | ||||||
24 | one of such persons and for only one
residence.
| ||||||
25 | For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than | ||||||
26 | 3,000,000
inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | submit an application by
February 15, 1995 to the Chief County | ||||||
2 | Assessment Officer
of the county in which the property is | ||||||
3 | located. In counties having 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, for | ||||||
4 | taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to
receive | ||||||
5 | the exemption, a person
may submit an application to the Chief | ||||||
6 | County
Assessment Officer of the county in which the property | ||||||
7 | is located during such
period as may be specified by the Chief | ||||||
8 | County Assessment Officer. The Chief
County Assessment Officer | ||||||
9 | in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall
annually | ||||||
10 | give notice of the application period by mail or by | ||||||
11 | publication. In
counties having less than 3,000,000 | ||||||
12 | inhabitants, beginning with taxable year
1995 and thereafter, | ||||||
13 | to receive the exemption, a person
shall
submit an
application | ||||||
14 | by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
15 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. A | ||||||
16 | county may, by
ordinance, establish a date for submission of | ||||||
17 | applications that is
different than
July 1.
The applicant shall | ||||||
18 | submit with the
application an affidavit of the applicant's | ||||||
19 | total household income, age,
marital status (and if married the | ||||||
20 | name and address of the applicant's spouse,
if known), and | ||||||
21 | principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
| ||||||
22 | 1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule, | ||||||
23 | a method for
verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by | ||||||
24 | applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment | ||||||
25 | Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an | ||||||
26 | exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall | ||||||
2 | contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made | ||||||
3 | under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a | ||||||
4 | fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in | ||||||
5 | Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
The applications | ||||||
6 | shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior
Citizens | ||||||
7 | Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice | ||||||
8 | that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an | ||||||
9 | audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
| ||||||
10 | Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in | ||||||
11 | counties having fewer
than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an | ||||||
12 | applicant fails
to file the application required by this | ||||||
13 | Section in a timely manner and this
failure to file is due to a | ||||||
14 | mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so
as to | ||||||
15 | render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a | ||||||
16 | timely
manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend | ||||||
17 | the filing deadline for
a period of 30 days after the applicant | ||||||
18 | regains the capability to file the
application, but in no case | ||||||
19 | may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3
months of the | ||||||
20 | original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
| ||||||
21 | provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the | ||||||
22 | Chief County
Assessment Officer with a signed statement from | ||||||
23 | the applicant's physician
stating the nature and extent of the | ||||||
24 | condition, that, in the
physician's opinion, the condition was | ||||||
25 | so severe that it rendered the applicant
incapable of filing | ||||||
26 | the application in a timely manner, and the date on which
the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applicant regained the capability to file the application.
| ||||||
2 | Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other | ||||||
3 | provision to the
contrary, in counties having fewer than | ||||||
4 | 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant
fails to file the | ||||||
5 | application required by this Section in a timely manner and
| ||||||
6 | this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition | ||||||
7 | sufficiently
severe so as to render the applicant incapable of | ||||||
8 | filing the application in a
timely manner, the Chief County | ||||||
9 | Assessment Officer may extend the filing
deadline for a period | ||||||
10 | of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided
in this | ||||||
11 | paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County | ||||||
12 | Assessment
Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's | ||||||
13 | physician stating the
nature and extent of the condition, and | ||||||
14 | that, in the physician's opinion, the
condition was so severe | ||||||
15 | that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
| ||||||
16 | application in a timely manner.
| ||||||
17 | In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an | ||||||
18 | applicant was
denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the | ||||||
19 | denial occurred due to an
error on the part of an assessment
| ||||||
20 | official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in | ||||||
21 | taxable year 1997
the
applicant's base year, for purposes of | ||||||
22 | determining the amount of the exemption,
shall be 1993 rather | ||||||
23 | than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the
applicant's | ||||||
24 | exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount | ||||||
25 | of
any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995 | ||||||
26 | as a result of using
1994, rather than 1993, as the base year, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) the amount of any exemption
denied to the applicant in | ||||||
2 | taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather
than 1993, | ||||||
3 | as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption | ||||||
4 | erroneously
denied for taxable year 1994.
| ||||||
5 | For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years | ||||||
6 | of age during the
current taxable year shall be eligible to | ||||||
7 | apply for the homestead exemption
during that taxable year. | ||||||
8 | Application shall be made during the application
period in | ||||||
9 | effect for the county of his or her residence.
| ||||||
10 | The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the | ||||||
11 | eligibility of a life
care facility that qualifies as a | ||||||
12 | cooperative to receive the benefits
provided by this Section by | ||||||
13 | use of an affidavit, application, visual
inspection, | ||||||
14 | questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure | ||||||
15 | that
the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited | ||||||
16 | by the management
firm to the apportioned tax liability of each | ||||||
17 | qualifying resident. The Chief
County Assessment Officer may | ||||||
18 | request reasonable proof that the management firm
has so | ||||||
19 | credited that exemption.
| ||||||
20 | Except as provided in this Section, all information | ||||||
21 | received by the chief
county assessment officer or the | ||||||
22 | Department from applications filed under this
Section, or from | ||||||
23 | any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
| ||||||
24 | Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes or
| ||||||
25 | pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State or | ||||||
26 | local tax or
enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sanction imposed by this Act or
by any statute or ordinance | ||||||
2 | imposing a State or local tax. Any person who
divulges any such | ||||||
3 | information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
| ||||||
4 | judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
5 | Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the | ||||||
6 | Director or chief county
assessment officer from publishing or | ||||||
7 | making available reasonable statistics
concerning the | ||||||
8 | operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
| ||||||
9 | the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a | ||||||
10 | way that
information contained in any individual claim shall | ||||||
11 | not be disclosed.
| ||||||
12 | (d) Each Chief County Assessment Officer shall annually | ||||||
13 | publish a notice
of availability of the exemption provided | ||||||
14 | under this Section. The notice
shall be published at least 60 | ||||||
15 | days but no more than 75 days prior to the date
on which the | ||||||
16 | application must be submitted to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
17 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. The | ||||||
18 | notice shall
appear in a newspaper of general circulation in | ||||||
19 | the county.
| ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act, | ||||||
21 | no reimbursement by the State is required for the | ||||||
22 | implementation of any mandate created by this Section.

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Exemption.
| ||||||

5 | "Applicant" means an individual who has filed an | ||||||
6 | application under this
Section.
| ||||||
7 | "Base amount" means the base year equalized assessed value | ||||||
8 | of the residence
plus the first year's equalized assessed value | ||||||
9 | of any added improvements which
increased the assessed value of | ||||||
10 | the residence after the base year.
| ||||||
11 | "Base year" means the taxable year prior to the taxable | ||||||
12 | year for which the
applicant first qualifies and applies for | ||||||
13 | the exemption provided that in the
prior taxable year the | ||||||
14 | property was improved with a permanent structure that
was | ||||||
15 | occupied as a residence by the applicant who was liable for | ||||||
16 | paying real
property taxes on the property and who was either | ||||||
17 | (i) an owner of record of the
property or had legal or | ||||||
18 | equitable interest in the property as evidenced by a
written | ||||||
19 | instrument or (ii) had a legal or equitable interest as a | ||||||
20 | lessee in the
parcel of property that was single family | ||||||
21 | residence.
If in any subsequent taxable year for which the | ||||||
22 | applicant applies and
qualifies for the exemption the equalized | ||||||
23 | assessed value of the residence is
less than the equalized | ||||||
24 | assessed value in the existing base year
(provided that such | ||||||
25 | equalized assessed value is not
based
on an
assessed value that | ||||||
26 | results from a temporary irregularity in the property that
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reduces the
assessed value for one or more taxable years), then | ||||||
2 | that
subsequent taxable year shall become the base year until a | ||||||
3 | new base year is
established under the terms of this paragraph. | ||||||
4 | For taxable year 1999 only, the
Chief County Assessment Officer | ||||||
5 | shall review (i) all taxable years for which
the
applicant | ||||||
6 | applied and qualified for the exemption and (ii) the existing | ||||||
7 | base
year.
The assessment officer shall select as the new base | ||||||
8 | year the year with the
lowest equalized assessed value.
An | ||||||
9 | equalized assessed value that is based on an assessed value | ||||||
10 | that results
from a
temporary irregularity in the property that | ||||||
11 | reduces the assessed value for one
or more
taxable years shall | ||||||
12 | not be considered the lowest equalized assessed value.
The | ||||||
13 | selected year shall be the base year for
taxable year 1999 and | ||||||
14 | thereafter until a new base year is established under the
terms | ||||||
15 | of this paragraph.
| ||||||
16 | "Chief County Assessment Officer" means the County | ||||||

25 | of a household

2 | of the Senior
Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief | ||||||
3 | and Pharmaceutical Assistance
Act, except that, beginning in | ||||||
4 | assessment year 2001, "income" does not
include veteran's | ||||||
5 | benefits.
| ||||||
6 | "Internal Revenue Code of 1986" means the United States | ||||||
7 | Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 or any successor law or laws | ||||||
8 | relating to federal income taxes in effect
for the year | ||||||

the parcel | ||||||
23 | upon which the dwelling place is situated, as is used for
| ||||||
24 | residential purposes. If the Chief County Assessment Officer | ||||||
25 | has established a
specific legal description for a portion of | ||||||
26 | property constituting the

23 | taxes on that property.
| ||||||
24 | In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the amount of | ||||||
25 | the exemption for all taxable years is the equalized assessed | ||||||
26 | value of the
residence in the taxable year for which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | application is made minus the base
amount. In all other | ||||||
2 | counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i) | ||||||
3 | through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and | ||||||
4 | thereafter, the amount of this exemption shall be the equalized | ||||||
5 | assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year for which | ||||||
6 | application is made minus the base
amount; and (ii) for
taxable | ||||||
7 | year 2006, the amount of the exemption is as follows:
| ||||||
8 | (1) For an applicant who has a household income of | ||||||
9 | $45,000 or less, the amount of the exemption is the | ||||||
10 | equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable | ||||||
11 | year for which application is made minus the base
amount. | ||||||
12 | (2) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
13 | exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of | ||||||
14 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
15 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
16 | minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8. | ||||||
17 | (3) For an applicant who has a household income | ||||||
18 | exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of | ||||||
19 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
20 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
21 | minus the base

24 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
| ||||||
25 | residence in the taxable year for which application is made | ||||||
26 | minus the base

2 | exceeding $48,750 but not exceeding $50,000, the amount of | ||||||
3 | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the

7 | for a prior year for
the same residence for which an exemption | ||||||
8 | under this Section has been granted,
the base year and base | ||||||
9 | amount for that residence are the same as for the
applicant for | ||||||
10 | the prior year.
| ||||||
11 | Each year at the time the assessment books are certified to | ||||||
12 | the County Clerk,
the Board of Review or Board of Appeals shall | ||||||
13 | give to the County Clerk a list
of the assessed values of | ||||||
14 | improvements on each parcel qualifying for this
exemption that | ||||||
15 | were added after the base year for this parcel and that
| ||||||
16 | increased the assessed value of the property.
| ||||||
17 | In the case of land improved with an apartment building | ||||||
18 | owned and operated as
a cooperative or a building that is a | ||||||
19 | life care facility that qualifies as a
cooperative, the maximum | ||||||
20 | reduction from the equalized assessed value of the
property is | ||||||
21 | limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
| ||||||
22 | occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of | ||||||
23 | age or older, (ii) with a
household income that does not exceed | ||||||
24 | the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract | ||||||
25 | with the
owner
or owners of record, for paying real property | ||||||
26 | taxes on the property, and (iv) who is
an owner of record of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | legal or equitable interest in the cooperative
apartment | ||||||
2 | building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
| ||||||
3 | cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under | ||||||
4 | this Section,
the cooperative association or its management | ||||||
5 | firm shall credit the savings
resulting from that exemption | ||||||
6 | only to the apportioned tax liability of the
owner who | ||||||
7 | qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses | ||||||
8 | to
credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the | ||||||
9 | exemption is guilty of a
Class B misdemeanor.
| ||||||
10 | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this | ||||||
11 | Section and an
applicant then becomes a resident of a facility | ||||||
12 | licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act , or | ||||||
13 | the Nursing Home
Care Act , or the MR/DD Community Care Act, the | ||||||
14 | exemption shall be granted in subsequent years so long as the
| ||||||
15 | residence (i) continues to be occupied by the qualified | ||||||
16 | applicant's spouse or
(ii) if remaining unoccupied, is still | ||||||
17 | owned by the qualified applicant for the
homestead exemption.
| ||||||
18 | Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who | ||||||
19 | would have qualified
for an exemption under this Section, and | ||||||
20 | the surviving spouse does not
independently qualify for this | ||||||
21 | exemption because of age, the exemption under
this Section | ||||||
22 | shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
| ||||||
23 | preceding and the taxable
year of the death, provided that, | ||||||
24 | except for age, the surviving spouse meets
all
other | ||||||
25 | qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those | ||||||
26 | years.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | When married persons maintain separate residences, the | ||||||
2 | exemption provided for
in this Section may be claimed by only | ||||||
3 | one of such persons and for only one
residence.
| ||||||
4 | For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than | ||||||
5 | 3,000,000
inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall | ||||||
6 | submit an application by
February 15, 1995 to the Chief County | ||||||
7 | Assessment Officer
of the county in which the property is | ||||||
8 | located. In counties having 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, for | ||||||
9 | taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to
receive | ||||||
10 | the exemption, a person
may submit an application to the Chief | ||||||
11 | County
Assessment Officer of the county in which the property | ||||||
12 | is located during such
period as may be specified by the Chief | ||||||
13 | County Assessment Officer. The Chief
County Assessment Officer | ||||||
14 | in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall
annually | ||||||
15 | give notice of the application period by mail or by | ||||||
16 | publication. In
counties having less than 3,000,000 | ||||||
17 | inhabitants, beginning with taxable year
1995 and thereafter, | ||||||
18 | to receive the exemption, a person
shall
submit an
application | ||||||
19 | by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
20 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. A | ||||||
21 | county may, by
ordinance, establish a date for submission of | ||||||
22 | applications that is
different than
July 1.
The applicant shall | ||||||
23 | submit with the
application an affidavit of the applicant's | ||||||
24 | total household income, age,
marital status (and if married the | ||||||
25 | name and address of the applicant's spouse,
if known), and | ||||||
26 | principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 1 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule, | ||||||
2 | a method for
verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by | ||||||
3 | applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment | ||||||
4 | Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an | ||||||
5 | exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is | ||||||
6 | eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall | ||||||
7 | contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made | ||||||
8 | under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a | ||||||
9 | fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in | ||||||
10 | Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
The applications | ||||||
11 | shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior
Citizens | ||||||
12 | Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice | ||||||
13 | that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an | ||||||
14 | audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
| ||||||
15 | Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in | ||||||
16 | counties having fewer
than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an | ||||||
17 | applicant fails
to file the application required by this | ||||||
18 | Section in a timely manner and this
failure to file is due to a | ||||||
19 | mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so
as to | ||||||
20 | render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a | ||||||
21 | timely
manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend | ||||||
22 | the filing deadline for
a period of 30 days after the applicant | ||||||
23 | regains the capability to file the
application, but in no case | ||||||
24 | may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3
months of the | ||||||
25 | original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
| ||||||
26 | provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Chief County
Assessment Officer with a signed statement from | ||||||
2 | the applicant's physician
stating the nature and extent of the | ||||||
3 | condition, that, in the
physician's opinion, the condition was | ||||||
4 | so severe that it rendered the applicant
incapable of filing | ||||||
5 | the application in a timely manner, and the date on which
the | ||||||
6 | applicant regained the capability to file the application.
| ||||||
7 | Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other | ||||||
8 | provision to the
contrary, in counties having fewer than | ||||||
9 | 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant
fails to file the | ||||||
10 | application required by this Section in a timely manner and
| ||||||
11 | this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition | ||||||
12 | sufficiently
severe so as to render the applicant incapable of | ||||||
13 | filing the application in a
timely manner, the Chief County | ||||||
14 | Assessment Officer may extend the filing
deadline for a period | ||||||
15 | of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided
in this | ||||||
16 | paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County | ||||||
17 | Assessment
Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's | ||||||
18 | physician stating the
nature and extent of the condition, and | ||||||
19 | that, in the physician's opinion, the
condition was so severe | ||||||
20 | that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
| ||||||
21 | application in a timely manner.
| ||||||
22 | In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an | ||||||
23 | applicant was
denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the | ||||||
24 | denial occurred due to an
error on the part of an assessment
| ||||||
25 | official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in | ||||||
26 | taxable year 1997
the
applicant's base year, for purposes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determining the amount of the exemption,
shall be 1993 rather | ||||||
2 | than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the
applicant's | ||||||
3 | exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount | ||||||
4 | of
any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995 | ||||||
5 | as a result of using
1994, rather than 1993, as the base year, | ||||||
6 | (ii) the amount of any exemption
denied to the applicant in | ||||||
7 | taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather
than 1993, | ||||||
8 | as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption | ||||||
9 | erroneously
denied for taxable year 1994.
| ||||||
10 | For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years | ||||||
11 | of age during the
current taxable year shall be eligible to | ||||||
12 | apply for the homestead exemption
during that taxable year. | ||||||
13 | Application shall be made during the application
period in | ||||||
14 | effect for the county of his or her residence.
| ||||||
15 | The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the | ||||||
16 | eligibility of a life
care facility that qualifies as a | ||||||
17 | cooperative to receive the benefits
provided by this Section by | ||||||
18 | use of an affidavit, application, visual
inspection, | ||||||
19 | questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure | ||||||
20 | that
the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited | ||||||
21 | by the management
firm to the apportioned tax liability of each | ||||||
22 | qualifying resident. The Chief
County Assessment Officer may | ||||||
23 | request reasonable proof that the management firm
has so | ||||||
24 | credited that exemption.
| ||||||
25 | Except as provided in this Section, all information | ||||||
26 | received by the chief
county assessment officer or the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department from applications filed under this
Section, or from | ||||||
2 | any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
| ||||||
3 | Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes or
| ||||||
4 | pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State or | ||||||
5 | local tax or
enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or | ||||||
6 | sanction imposed by this Act or
by any statute or ordinance | ||||||
7 | imposing a State or local tax. Any person who
divulges any such | ||||||
8 | information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
| ||||||
9 | judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
10 | Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the | ||||||
11 | Director or chief county
assessment officer from publishing or | ||||||
12 | making available reasonable statistics
concerning the | ||||||
13 | operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
| ||||||
14 | the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a | ||||||
15 | way that
information contained in any individual claim shall | ||||||
16 | not be disclosed.
| ||||||
17 | (d) Each Chief County Assessment Officer shall annually | ||||||
18 | publish a notice
of availability of the exemption provided | ||||||
19 | under this Section. The notice
shall be published at least 60 | ||||||
20 | days but no more than 75 days prior to the date
on which the | ||||||
21 | application must be submitted to the Chief County Assessment
| ||||||
22 | Officer of the county in which the property is located. The | ||||||
23 | notice shall
appear in a newspaper of general circulation in | ||||||
24 | the county.
| ||||||
25 | Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act, | ||||||
26 | no reimbursement by the State is required for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | implementation of any mandate created by this Section.

| ||||||
8 | "Consumer Price Index" means the Consumer Price Index for | ||||||
9 | All Urban
Consumers for all items published by the United | ||||||
10 | States Department of Labor.
| ||||||
11 | "Extension limitation" means (a) the lesser of 5% or the | ||||||

| ||||||
15 | "Affected county" means a county of 3,000,000 or more | ||||||
16 | inhabitants or a

2 | district not subject to this Law before the 1995 levy year | ||||||
3 | having the
majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value in an | ||||||
4 | affected county or
counties. Beginning with the levy year in
| ||||||
5 | which this Law becomes applicable to a taxing district as
| ||||||
6 | provided in Section 18-213, "taxing district" also includes | ||||||
7 | those taxing
districts made subject to this Law as provided in | ||||||
8 | Section 18-213.

10 | Law applied before

9 | levy year that resulted in the over or under extension of | ||||||
10 | taxes, or (ii) increased or decreased the tax extension for the | ||||||
11 | last preceding levy year as required by Section 18-135(c). | ||||||
12 | Whenever an adjustment is required under Section 18-135, the | ||||||
13 | aggregate extension base of the taxing district shall be equal | ||||||

3 | value, after
final board of review or board of appeals action, | ||||||
4 | of real property not exempt

6 | portion of the immediately preceding levy year, multiplied by
| ||||||
7 | the equalization factor issued by the Department under Section | ||||||
8 | 17-30, including the assessed value, upon final stabilization | ||||||
9 | of occupancy after new construction is complete, of any real | ||||||
10 | property located within the boundaries of an otherwise or | ||||||
11 | previously exempt military reservation that is intended for | ||||||
12 | residential use and owned by or leased to a private corporation | ||||||

1 | "Recovered tax increment value" means, except as otherwise | ||||||
2 | provided in this
paragraph, the amount of the current year's | ||||||

5 | redevelopment project area previously

6 | Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois
| ||||||
7 | Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial | ||||||
8 | Jobs Recovery Law

17 | district that first became subject
to this Law for the 1995 | ||||||
18 | levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized
assessed | ||||||
19 | value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased | ||||||
20 | if a
municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993 | ||||||
21 | as a redevelopment

Development Act in the Illinois | ||||||
23 | Municipal Code, previously established under

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assessed value of each taxable lot,
block, tract, or parcel of | ||||||
2 | real property in the redevelopment project area over
and above | ||||||
3 | the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
| ||||||
4 | redevelopment project area.
In the first year after a | ||||||
5 | municipality
removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of | ||||||
6 | real property from a
redevelopment project area established | ||||||
7 | under the Tax Increment Allocation
Development Act in the | ||||||

property before | ||||||
15 | removal from the redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
16 | Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting | ||||||
17 | rate" means a
fraction the numerator of which is the last
| ||||||
18 | preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one | ||||||
19 | plus the

20 | denominator of which
is the current year's equalized assessed | ||||||
21 | value of all real property in the
territory under the | ||||||
22 | jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior
levy year. | ||||||
23 | For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
| ||||||
24 | extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest | ||||||
25 | aggregate extension
in any of the last 3 preceding levy years | ||||||
26 | shall be used for the purpose of
computing the limiting rate. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The denominator shall not include new
property or the recovered | ||||||
2 | tax increment
value.
If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a | ||||||
3 | limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held | ||||||
4 | after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable | ||||||
5 | limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate | ||||||
6 | or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the | ||||||
7 | case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase, | ||||||
8 | the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth
in the | ||||||
9 | proposition approved by the voters for each of the years | ||||||
10 | specified in the proposition, after
which the limiting rate of | ||||||
11 | the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.

15 | fiscal year 2010 and each fiscal
year
thereafter shall be | ||||||
16 | transferred to the Transportation
Regulatory Fund and shall be | ||||||
17 | accounted for as part of the rail carrier
portion of such funds | ||||||
18 | and shall be used to pay the cost of administration
of the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in | ||||||
20 | connection
with its duties under subsection (3) of Section | ||||||
21 | 18c-7401 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be | ||||||
22 | used by the Department of Transportation
upon order of the | ||||||
23 | Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the
cost | ||||||
24 | apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the | ||||||
25 | interest
of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets, | ||||||
26 | or
pedestrian walkways in the
county highway system, township |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and district road system, or municipal
street system as defined | ||||||
2 | in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may
from time to time | ||||||
3 | be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
| ||||||
4 | construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or | ||||||
5 | reconstruction,
alteration, relocation including construction | ||||||
6 | or improvement of any
existing highway necessary for access to | ||||||
7 | property or improvement of any
grade crossing and grade | ||||||
8 | crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches | ||||||
9 | thereto of any
railroad across the highway or public road, or | ||||||
10 | for the installation,
construction, reconstruction, or | ||||||
11 | maintenance of a pedestrian walkway over or
under a railroad | ||||||
12 | right-of-way, as provided for in and in
accordance with Section | ||||||
13 | 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
The Commission may order | ||||||
14 | up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund | ||||||
15 | moneys for the improvement of grade crossing surfaces and up to | ||||||
16 | $300,000 per year for the maintenance and renewal of 4-quadrant | ||||||
17 | gate vehicle detection systems located at non-high speed rail | ||||||
18 | grade crossings. The Commission shall not order more than | ||||||
19 | $2,000,000 per year in Grade
Crossing Protection Fund moneys | ||||||
20 | for pedestrian walkways.
In entering orders for projects for | ||||||
21 | which payments from the Grade Crossing
Protection Fund will be | ||||||
22 | made, the Commission shall account for expenditures
authorized | ||||||
23 | by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For | ||||||
24 | purposes
of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that | ||||||
25 | the total cost of the
project is expended in the fiscal year in | ||||||
26 | which the order is entered, while a
"cash basis" allocates the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cost of the project among fiscal years as
expenditures are | ||||||
2 | actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection,
the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year | ||||||
4 | project plans
of rail crossing capital improvements that will | ||||||
5 | be paid for with moneys from
the Grade Crossing Protection | ||||||
6 | Fund. The annual project plan shall identify
projects for the | ||||||
7 | succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall
| ||||||
8 | identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years. | ||||||
9 | The Commission
shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans | ||||||
10 | for this Fund to the Governor,
the President of the Senate, the | ||||||
11 | Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the
House of | ||||||
12 | Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
| ||||||
13 | Representatives on
the first Wednesday in April of each year;
| ||||||
14 | (d) of the amount remaining after allocations provided for | ||||||
15 | in
subsections (a), (b) and (c), a sufficient amount shall be | ||||||
16 | reserved to
pay all of the following:
| ||||||
17 | (1) the costs of the Department of Revenue in | ||||||
18 | administering this
Act;
| ||||||
19 | (2) the costs of the Department of Transportation in | ||||||
20 | performing its
duties imposed by the Illinois Highway Code | ||||||
21 | for supervising the use of motor
fuel tax funds apportioned | ||||||
22 | to municipalities, counties and road districts;
| ||||||
23 | (3) refunds provided for in Section 13 of this Act and | ||||||
24 | under the terms
of the International Fuel Tax Agreement | ||||||
25 | referenced in Section 14a;
| ||||||
26 | (4) from October 1, 1985 until June 30, 1994, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administration of the
Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law, | ||||||
2 | which amount shall be certified monthly by
the | ||||||
3 | Environmental Protection Agency to the State Comptroller | ||||||
4 | and shall promptly
be transferred by the State Comptroller | ||||||
5 | and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel Tax
Fund to the Vehicle | ||||||
6 | Inspection Fund, and for the period July 1, 1994 through
| ||||||
7 | June 30, 2000, one-twelfth of $25,000,000 each month, for | ||||||
8 | the period July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2003,
one-twelfth | ||||||

$30,000,000
each month,
and $15,000,000 on July 1, 2003, | ||||||
10 | and $15,000,000 on January 1, 2004, and $15,000,000
on
each
| ||||||
11 | July
1 and October 1, or as soon thereafter as may be | ||||||
12 | practical, during the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, | ||||||
13 | 2010,
for the administration of the Vehicle Emissions | ||||||
14 | Inspection Law of
2005, to be transferred by the State | ||||||
15 | Comptroller and Treasurer from the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund into | ||||||
16 | the Vehicle Inspection Fund;
| ||||||
17 | (5) amounts ordered paid by the Court of Claims; and
| ||||||
18 | (6) payment of motor fuel use taxes due to member | ||||||
19 | jurisdictions under
the terms of the International Fuel Tax | ||||||
20 | Agreement. The Department shall
certify these amounts to | ||||||
21 | the Comptroller by the 15th day of each month; the
| ||||||
22 | Comptroller shall cause orders to be drawn for such | ||||||
23 | amounts, and the Treasurer
shall administer those amounts | ||||||
24 | on or before the last day of each month;
| ||||||
25 | (e) after allocations for the purposes set forth in | ||||||
26 | subsections
(a), (b), (c) and (d), the remaining amount shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||

3 | 1, 2000, 45.6%
shall be deposited as follows:
| ||||||
4 | (A) 37% into the State Construction Account Fund, | ||||||
5 | and
| ||||||
6 | (B) 63% into the Road Fund, $1,250,000 of which | ||||||
7 | shall be reserved each
month for the Department of | ||||||
8 | Transportation to be used in accordance with
the | ||||||
9 | provisions of Sections 6-901 through 6-906 of the | ||||||
10 | Illinois Highway Code;
| ||||||
11 | (2) Until January 1, 2000, 41.6%, and beginning January | ||||||
12 | 1, 2000, 54.4%
shall be transferred to the Department of | ||||||
13 | Transportation to be
distributed as follows:
| ||||||
14 | (A) 49.10% to the municipalities of the State,
| ||||||
15 | (B) 16.74% to the counties of the State having | ||||||
16 | 1,000,000 or more inhabitants,
| ||||||
17 | (C) 18.27% to the counties of the State having less | ||||||
18 | than 1,000,000 inhabitants,
| ||||||
19 | (D) 15.89% to the road districts of the State.
| ||||||
20 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month the | ||||||
21 | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each municipality | ||||||
22 | its share of the amount
apportioned to the several | ||||||
23 | municipalities which shall be in proportion
to the population | ||||||
24 | of such municipalities as determined by the last
preceding | ||||||
25 | municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
| ||||||
26 | Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsequent
to the time of the last preceding census the | ||||||
2 | corporate authorities of
such municipality may cause a census | ||||||
3 | to be taken of such annexed
territory and the population so | ||||||
4 | ascertained for such territory shall be
added to the population | ||||||
5 | of the municipality as determined by the last
preceding census | ||||||
6 | for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
| ||||||
7 | municipality. If the population of any municipality was not | ||||||
8 | determined
by the last Federal census preceding any | ||||||
9 | apportionment, the
apportionment to such municipality shall be | ||||||
10 | in accordance with any
census taken by such municipality. Any | ||||||
11 | municipal census used in
accordance with this Section shall be | ||||||
12 | certified to the Department of
Transportation by the clerk of | ||||||
13 | such municipality, and the accuracy
thereof shall be subject to | ||||||
14 | approval of the Department which may make
such corrections as | ||||||
15 | it ascertains to be necessary.
| ||||||
16 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month the | ||||||
17 | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each county its | ||||||
18 | share of the amount
apportioned to the several counties of the | ||||||
19 | State as herein provided.
Each allotment to the several | ||||||
20 | counties having less than 1,000,000
inhabitants shall be in | ||||||
21 | proportion to the amount of motor vehicle
license fees received | ||||||
22 | from the residents of such counties, respectively,
during the | ||||||
23 | preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
| ||||||
24 | before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
| ||||||
25 | Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of | ||||||
26 | motor
vehicle license fees received from the residents of each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county,
respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The | ||||||
2 | Department of
Transportation shall, each month, use for | ||||||
3 | allotment purposes the last
such report received from the | ||||||
4 | Secretary of State.
| ||||||
5 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the | ||||||
6 | Department
of Transportation shall allot to the several | ||||||
7 | counties their share of the
amount apportioned for the use of | ||||||
8 | road districts. The allotment shall
be apportioned among the | ||||||
9 | several counties in the State in the proportion
which the total | ||||||
10 | mileage of township or district roads in the respective
| ||||||
11 | counties bears to the total mileage of all township and | ||||||
12 | district roads
in the State. Funds allotted to the respective | ||||||
13 | counties for the use of
road districts therein shall be | ||||||
14 | allocated to the several road districts
in the county in the | ||||||
15 | proportion which the total mileage of such township
or district | ||||||
16 | roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
| ||||||
17 | mileage of all such township or district roads in the county. | ||||||
18 | After
July 1 of any year, no allocation shall be made for any | ||||||
19 | road district
unless it levied a tax for road and bridge | ||||||
20 | purposes in an amount which
will require the extension of such | ||||||
21 | tax against the taxable property in
any such road district at a | ||||||
22 | rate of not less than either .08% of the value
thereof, based | ||||||
23 | upon the assessment for the year immediately prior to the year
| ||||||
24 | in which such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department | ||||||
25 | of Revenue
or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater | ||||||
26 | than $12,000 per mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | road district, whichever is less. If any
road district has | ||||||
2 | levied a special tax for road purposes
pursuant to Sections | ||||||
3 | 6-601, 6-602 and 6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and
such | ||||||
4 | tax was levied in an amount which would require extension at a
| ||||||
5 | rate of not less than .08% of the value of the taxable property | ||||||
6 | thereof,
as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
| ||||||
7 | or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than | ||||||
8 | $12,000 per mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road | ||||||
9 | district, whichever is less,
such levy shall, however, be | ||||||
10 | deemed a proper compliance with this
Section and shall qualify | ||||||
11 | such road district for an allotment under this
Section. If a | ||||||
12 | township has transferred to the road and bridge fund
money | ||||||
13 | which, when added to the amount of any tax levy of the road
| ||||||
14 | district would be the equivalent of a tax levy requiring | ||||||
15 | extension at a
rate of at least .08%, or, in DuPage County, an | ||||||
16 | amount equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under | ||||||
17 | the jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less, such | ||||||
18 | transfer, together with any such tax levy,
shall be deemed a | ||||||
19 | proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify
the road | ||||||
20 | district for an allotment under this Section.
| ||||||
21 | In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is | ||||||
22 | imposed
under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road | ||||||
23 | districts may retain
their entitlement to a motor fuel tax | ||||||
24 | allotment if, at the time the property
tax
extension limitation | ||||||
25 | was imposed, the road district was levying a road and
bridge | ||||||
26 | tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allotment
and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount | ||||||
2 | after the imposition of the
property tax extension limitation. | ||||||
3 | Any road district may in all circumstances
retain its | ||||||
4 | entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment if it levied a road | ||||||
5 | and
bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of | ||||||
6 | the tax against the
taxable property in the road district at a | ||||||
7 | rate of not less than 0.08% of the
assessed value of the | ||||||
8 | property, based upon the assessment for the year
immediately | ||||||
9 | preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized | ||||||
10 | by
the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount | ||||||
11 | equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under the | ||||||
12 | jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less.
| ||||||
13 | As used in this Section the term "road district" means any | ||||||
14 | road
district, including a county unit road district, provided | ||||||
15 | for by the
Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or | ||||||
16 | district road"
means any road in the township and district road | ||||||
17 | system as defined in the
Illinois Highway Code. For the | ||||||
18 | purposes of this Section, "road
district" also includes park | ||||||
19 | districts, forest preserve districts and
conservation | ||||||
20 | districts organized under Illinois law and "township or
| ||||||
21 | district road" also includes such roads as are maintained by | ||||||
22 | park
districts, forest preserve districts and conservation | ||||||
23 | districts. The
Department of Transportation shall determine | ||||||
24 | the mileage of all township
and district roads for the purposes | ||||||
25 | of making allotments and allocations of
motor fuel tax funds | ||||||
26 | for use in road districts.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and | ||||||
2 | counties shall
be made as soon as possible after the allotment | ||||||
3 | is made. The treasurer
of the municipality or county may invest | ||||||
4 | these funds until their use is
required and the interest earned | ||||||
5 | by these investments shall be limited
to the same uses as the | ||||||
6 | principal funds.

6 | Article. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the | ||||||
7 | contrary, the term of office of each member of a board | ||||||
8 | established on or before the 3rd Monday in April, 2006 shall | ||||||
9 | terminate on the 3rd Monday in April, 2006, but all incumbent | ||||||
10 | members shall continue to exercise all of the powers and be | ||||||

| ||||||
24 | For the purposes
of this Section, a firefighter receiving a | ||||||
25 | disability pension
shall be considered a retired firefighter. | ||||||
26 | In the event
that there are no retired firefighters under the |

3 | lieu of the
retired firefighter that would otherwise be | ||||||
4 | elected.
| ||||||
5 | If the regularly constituted fire department of a | ||||||
6 | municipality is
dissolved and Section 4-106.1 is not | ||||||
7 | applicable, the board shall continue
to exist and administer | ||||||
8 | the Fund so long as there continues to be any
annuitant or | ||||||
9 | deferred pensioner in the Fund. In such cases, elections
shall | ||||||
10 | continue to be held as specified in this Section, except that: | ||||||
11 | (1)
deferred pensioners shall be deemed to be active members | ||||||
12 | for the purposes
of such elections; (2) any otherwise | ||||||
13 | unfillable positions on the board,
including ex officio | ||||||
14 | positions, shall be filled by election from the
remaining | ||||||
15 | firefighters and deferred pensioners of the Fund, to the extent

23 | and under such regulations
as shall be prescribed by the board.
| ||||||
24 | No person shall cast more than one vote for each
candidate | ||||||
25 | for whom he or she is eligible to vote. In the elections for | ||||||
26 | board

firefighters and no
others may vote. In the elections | ||||||
2 | for board members to be chosen from

6 | elected and qualified.
| ||||||
7 | The board shall canvass the ballots and declare which | ||||||
8 | persons have been
elected and for what term
or terms | ||||||
9 | respectively. In case of a tie vote between 2 or more
| ||||||
10 | candidates, the board shall determine by lot which candidate or | ||||||
11 | candidates
have been elected and for what term or terms | ||||||
12 | respectively. In the event
of the failure, resignation, or | ||||||
13 | inability to act of any board member,
a successor shall be | ||||||
14 | elected for the unexpired
term at a special election called by | ||||||
15 | the board and conducted
in the same manner as a
regular | ||||||
16 | election.
| ||||||
17 | The board shall elect annually from its members a president
| ||||||
18 | and secretary.
| ||||||
19 | Board members shall not receive or have any right to | ||||||
20 | receive any salary
from a pension fund for services performed | ||||||
21 | as board members.

10 | obligations to the Fund, and that the actuarial
soundness | ||||||
11 | of the Fund may be reasonably expected to be unimpaired by

12 | approval of participation by the applicant.

| ||||||
22 | Intergovernmental Cooperation Act and approved by the State | ||||||
23 | Board of
Education shall be included within and be subject to | ||||||
24 | this
Article as participating instrumentalities. If any such | ||||||
25 | governing boards
or boards of control are unable to pay the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | districts served by such boards shall make

1980 shall not be subject to this Article unless the | ||||||
23 | joint agreement is
modified, by the districts and | ||||||
24 | municipalities which are parties to the
agreement, to provide | ||||||
25 | that the governing board is subject to this Article.
| ||||||
26 | If the Board returns any employer and employee |

employer which erroneously submitted such | ||||||
2 | contributions on behalf of a
special recreation joint | ||||||
3 | agreement, the Board shall include interest

cost of the benefit plus | ||||||
19 | interest, but with all of the interest calculated
from the date | ||||||
20 | the employee last became a member of the System or November 19,

1 | subsection (j), when
added to the amount of military service | ||||||
2 | credit granted to the member under
subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
3 | 14-105, shall not exceed 5 years. The change
in the manner of | ||||||
4 | calculating interest under this subsection (j) made by this

9 | actuarial tables and other
assumptions adopted by the Board, | ||||||
10 | using the formula in subsection (e).
| ||||||
11 | The Board shall also determine a State contribution rate | ||||||
12 | for each fiscal
year, expressed as a percentage of payroll, | ||||||
13 | based on the total required State
contribution for that fiscal | ||||||
14 | year (less the amount received by the System from
| ||||||
15 | appropriations under Section 8.12 of the State Finance Act and | ||||||
16 | Section 1 of the
State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation | ||||||
17 | Act, if any, for the fiscal year
ending on the June 30 | ||||||
18 | immediately preceding the applicable November 15
certification | ||||||
19 | deadline), the estimated payroll (including all forms of
| ||||||
20 | compensation) for personal services rendered by eligible | ||||||
21 | employees, and the
recommendations of the actuary.
| ||||||
22 | For the purposes of this Section and Section 14.1 of the | ||||||
23 | State Finance Act,
the term "eligible employees" includes | ||||||
24 | employees who participate in the System,
persons who may elect | ||||||
25 | to participate in the System but have not so elected,
persons | ||||||
26 | who are serving a qualifying period that is required for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participation,
and annuitants employed by a department as | ||||||
2 | described in subdivision (a)(1) or
(a)(2) of Section 14-111.
| ||||||
3 | (c) Contributions shall be made by the several departments | ||||||
4 | for each pay
period by warrants drawn by the State Comptroller | ||||||
5 | against their respective
funds or appropriations based upon | ||||||
6 | vouchers stating the amount to be so
contributed. These amounts | ||||||
7 | shall be based on the full rate certified by the
Board under | ||||||
8 | Section 14-135.08 for that fiscal year.
From the effective date | ||||||
9 | of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General
Assembly through the | ||||||
10 | payment of the final payroll from fiscal year 2004
| ||||||
11 | appropriations, the several departments shall not make | ||||||
12 | contributions
for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 but shall | ||||||
13 | instead make payments
as required under subsection (a-1) of | ||||||
14 | Section 14.1 of the State Finance Act.
The several departments | ||||||
15 | shall resume those contributions at the commencement of
fiscal | ||||||
16 | year 2005.
| ||||||
17 | (c-1) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section, for | ||||||
18 | fiscal year 2010 only, contributions by the several departments | ||||||
19 | are not required to be made for General Revenue Funds payrolls | ||||||
20 | processed by the Comptroller. Payrolls paid by the several | ||||||
21 | departments from all other State funds must continue to be | ||||||
22 | processed pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section. | ||||||
23 | (c-2) For State fiscal year 2010 only, on or as soon as | ||||||
24 | possible after the 15th day of each month the Board shall | ||||||
25 | submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the | ||||||
26 | System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the fiscal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | year 2010 General Revenue Fund appropriation to the System. | ||||||
2 | (d) If an employee is paid from trust funds or federal | ||||||
3 | funds, the
department or other employer shall pay employer | ||||||
4 | contributions from those funds
to the System at the certified | ||||||
5 | rate, unless the terms of the trust or the
federal-State | ||||||
6 | agreement preclude the use of the funds for that purpose, in
| ||||||
7 | which case the required employer contributions shall be paid by | ||||||
8 | the State.
From the effective date of this amendatory
Act of | ||||||
9 | the 93rd General Assembly through the payment of the final
| ||||||
10 | payroll from fiscal year 2004 appropriations, the department or | ||||||
11 | other
employer shall not pay contributions for the remainder of | ||||||
12 | fiscal year
2004 but shall instead make payments as required | ||||||
13 | under subsection (a-1) of
Section 14.1 of the State Finance | ||||||
14 | Act. The department or other employer shall
resume payment of
| ||||||
15 | contributions at the commencement of fiscal year 2005.
| ||||||
16 | (e) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum | ||||||
17 | contribution
to the System to be made by the State for each | ||||||
18 | fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to be | ||||||
19 | sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% of | ||||||
20 | the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end
of | ||||||
21 | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | ||||||
22 | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | ||||||
23 | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | ||||||
24 | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | ||||||
25 | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| ||||||
26 | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | ||||||
2 | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | ||||||
3 | so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is contributing at | ||||||
4 | the rate required under this Section; except that
(i) for State | ||||||
5 | fiscal year 1998, for all purposes of this Code and any other
| ||||||
6 | law of this State, the certified percentage of the applicable | ||||||
7 | employee payroll
shall be 5.052% for employees earning eligible | ||||||
8 | creditable service under Section
14-110 and 6.500% for all | ||||||
9 | other employees, notwithstanding any contrary
certification | ||||||
10 | made under Section 14-135.08 before the effective date of this
| ||||||
11 | amendatory Act of 1997, and (ii)
in the following specified | ||||||
12 | State fiscal years, the State contribution to
the System shall | ||||||
13 | not be less than the following indicated percentages of the
| ||||||
14 | applicable employee payroll, even if the indicated percentage | ||||||
15 | will produce a
State contribution in excess of the amount | ||||||
16 | otherwise required under this
subsection and subsection (a):
| ||||||
17 | 9.8% in FY 1999;
10.0% in FY 2000;
10.2% in FY 2001;
10.4% in FY | ||||||
18 | 2002;
10.6% in FY 2003; and
10.8% in FY 2004.
| ||||||
19 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | ||||||
20 | total required State
contribution to the System for State | ||||||
21 | fiscal year 2006 is $203,783,900.
| ||||||
22 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | ||||||
23 | total required State
contribution to the System for State | ||||||
24 | fiscal year 2007 is $344,164,400.
| ||||||
25 | For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State | ||||||
26 | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | ||||||
2 | from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | ||||||
3 | 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is | ||||||
4 | contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
| ||||||
5 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | ||||||
6 | total required State General Revenue Fund contribution for | ||||||
7 | State fiscal year 2010 is $723,703,100 and shall be made from | ||||||
8 | the proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to | ||||||
9 | Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the | ||||||
10 | pro rata share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's | ||||||
11 | share of total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from | ||||||
12 | the General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any | ||||||
13 | reduction in bond proceeds due to the issuance of discounted | ||||||
14 | bonds, if applicable. | ||||||
15 | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | ||||||
16 | contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to | ||||||
17 | maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total | ||||||
18 | actuarial liabilities of the System.
| ||||||
19 | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of | ||||||
20 | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State | ||||||
21 | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not | ||||||
22 | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State | ||||||
23 | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. | ||||||
24 | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the | ||||||
25 | calculation of, the required State contributions under this | ||||||
26 | Article in any future year until the System has reached a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to | ||||||
2 | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar | ||||||
3 | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the | ||||||
4 | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
| ||||||
5 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the | ||||||
6 | required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for | ||||||
7 | fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
calculated | ||||||
8 | under this Section and
certified under Section 14-135.08, shall | ||||||
9 | not exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of the required | ||||||
10 | State contribution that would have been calculated under
this | ||||||
11 | Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any | ||||||
12 | payments
under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General | ||||||
13 | Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the portion of the State's | ||||||
14 | total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | ||||||
15 | issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and | ||||||
16 | certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's | ||||||
17 | portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | ||||||
18 | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining | ||||||
19 | this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | ||||||
20 | the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | ||||||
21 | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | ||||||
22 | increments calculated from the sum of the required State | ||||||
23 | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable | ||||||
24 | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal | ||||||
25 | year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2 | ||||||
26 | of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | ||||||
2 | required under this Section.
| ||||||
3 | (f) After the submission of all payments for eligible | ||||||
4 | employees
from personal services line items in fiscal year 2004 | ||||||
5 | have been made,
the Comptroller shall provide to the System a | ||||||
6 | certification of the sum
of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures | ||||||
7 | for personal services that would
have been covered by payments | ||||||
8 | to the System under this Section if the
provisions of this | ||||||
9 | amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly had not been
| ||||||
10 | enacted. Upon
receipt of the certification, the System shall | ||||||
11 | determine the amount
due to the System based on the full rate | ||||||
12 | certified by the Board under
Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year | ||||||
13 | 2004 in order to meet the State's
obligation under this | ||||||
14 | Section. The System shall compare this amount
due to the amount | ||||||
15 | received by the System in fiscal year 2004 through
payments | ||||||
16 | under this Section and under Section 6z-61 of the State Finance | ||||||
17 | Act.
If the amount
due is more than the amount received, the | ||||||
18 | difference shall be termed the
"Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall" for | ||||||
19 | purposes of this Section, and the
Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall | ||||||
20 | shall be satisfied under Section 1.2 of the State
Pension Funds | ||||||
21 | Continuing Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than | ||||||
22 | the
amount received, the
difference shall be termed the "Fiscal | ||||||
23 | Year 2004 Overpayment" for purposes of
this Section, and the | ||||||
24 | Fiscal Year 2004 Overpayment shall be repaid by
the System to | ||||||
25 | the Pension Contribution Fund as soon as practicable
after the | ||||||
26 | certification.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) For purposes of determining the required State | ||||||
2 | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets | ||||||
3 | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, | ||||||
4 | which shall be calculated as follows: | ||||||
5 | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's | ||||||
6 | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of | ||||||
7 | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's | ||||||
8 | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | ||||||
9 | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | ||||||
10 | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the | ||||||
11 | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | ||||||
12 | (h) For purposes of determining the required State | ||||||
13 | contribution to the System for a particular year, the actuarial | ||||||
14 | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | ||||||
15 | to the System's actuarially assumed rate of return. | ||||||
16 | (i) (g) After the submission of all payments for eligible | ||||||
17 | employees from personal services line items paid from the | ||||||
18 | General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010 have been made, the | ||||||
19 | Comptroller shall provide to the System a certification of the | ||||||
20 | sum of all fiscal year 2010 expenditures for personal services | ||||||
21 | that would have been covered by payments to the System under | ||||||
22 | this Section if the provisions of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
23 | 96th General Assembly had not been enacted. Upon receipt of the | ||||||
24 | certification, the System shall determine the amount due to the | ||||||
25 | System based on the full rate certified by the Board under | ||||||
26 | Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2010 in order to meet the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare | ||||||
2 | this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal | ||||||
3 | year 2010 through payments under this Section. If the amount | ||||||
4 | due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be | ||||||
5 | termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall" for purposes of this | ||||||
6 | Section, and the Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall shall be satisfied | ||||||
7 | under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing | ||||||
8 | Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount | ||||||
9 | received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 | ||||||
10 | Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year | ||||||
11 | 2010 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General | ||||||
12 | Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification. | ||||||

11 | (g) Trustees (other than the trustees incumbent on June 30, | ||||||
12 | 1995 or as provided in subsection (c) of this Section)
shall | ||||||
13 | continue in office until their respective successors are | ||||||
14 | appointed
and have qualified, except that a trustee appointed | ||||||
15 | to one of the

16 | immediately upon the termination of
his or her status as a | ||||||
17 | participant and a trustee appointed to one of the
annuitant | ||||||

23 | the
presentation to the board of a certified copy of the oath. | ||||||
24 | The oath must state
that the person will diligently and | ||||||
25 | honestly administer the affairs of the
retirement system, and | ||||||
26 | will not knowingly violate or wilfully permit to be
violated |
| |||||||
| |||||||

16 | participant
in service on or after such date shall be 3 1/2% of | ||||||
17 | final average salary,
as defined in this Section, for each of | ||||||
18 | the first 10 years of service, and
5% of such final average | ||||||
19 | salary for each year of service on excess of 10.
| ||||||
20 | For purposes of this Section, final average salary for a | ||||||
21 | participant who first serves as a judge before August 10, 2009 | ||||||
22 | ( the effective date of Public Act 96-207) this amendatory Act | ||||||
23 | of the 96th General Assembly shall be:
| ||||||
24 | (1) the average salary for the last 4 years of credited | ||||||
25 | service as a
judge for a participant who terminates service |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | before July 1, 1975.

5 | (3) for any participant who terminates service after | ||||||
6 | June 30, 1982 and
before January 1, 1990, the average | ||||||
7 | salary for the final year of service as
a judge.
| ||||||
8 | (4) for a participant who terminates service on or | ||||||
9 | after January 1,
1990 but before the effective date of this | ||||||
10 | amendatory Act of 1995, the
salary on the last day of | ||||||
11 | employment as a judge.

15 | highest salary received by the participant for employment | ||||||
16 | as
a judge in a position held by the participant for at | ||||||
17 | least 4 consecutive years,
whichever is greater.
| ||||||
18 | However, in the case of a participant who elects to | ||||||
19 | discontinue contributions
as provided in subdivision (a)(2) of | ||||||
20 | Section 18-133, the time of such
election shall be considered | ||||||
21 | the last day of employment in the determination
of final | ||||||
22 | average salary under this subsection.
| ||||||
23 | For a participant who first serves as a judge on or after | ||||||
24 | August 10, 2009 ( the effective date of Public Act 96-207) this | ||||||
25 | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly , final average | ||||||
26 | salary shall be the average monthly salary obtained by dividing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the total salary of the participant during the period of: (1) | ||||||
2 | the 48 consecutive months of service within the last 120 months | ||||||
3 | of service in which the total compensation was the highest, or | ||||||
4 | (2) the total period of service, if less than 48 months, by the | ||||||
5 | number of months of service in that period. | ||||||
6 | The maximum retirement annuity for any participant shall be | ||||||
7 | 85% of final
average salary.
| ||||||
8 | (c) The retirement annuity for a participant who retires | ||||||
9 | prior to age 60
with less than 28 years of service in the | ||||||
10 | System shall be reduced 1/2 of 1%
for each month that the | ||||||
11 | participant's age is under 60 years at the time the
annuity | ||||||
12 | commences. However, for a participant who retires on or after | ||||||
13 | the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General | ||||||
14 | Assembly, the
percentage reduction in retirement annuity | ||||||
15 | imposed under this subsection shall
be reduced by 5/12 of 1% | ||||||
16 | for every month of service in this System in excess of
20 | ||||||
17 | years, and therefore a participant with at least 26 years of | ||||||
18 | service in this
System may retire at age 55 without any | ||||||
19 | reduction in annuity.
| ||||||
20 | The reduction in retirement annuity imposed by this | ||||||
21 | subsection shall not
apply in the case of retirement on account | ||||||
22 | of disability.

14 | not fewer than 5 members, one of whom
must be a
public member | ||||||
15 | who is a resident of the local exchange service territory

22 | equipped with
automatic vehicle locators, and maintenance, | ||||||
23 | replacement and
update thereof
to increase operational | ||||||
24 | efficiency and improve the provision of emergency
| ||||||
25 | services.
| ||||||

4 | reimbursement of costs
therefor to other governmental | ||||||
5 | bodies that have incurred those costs, of road

7 | emergency
telephone system and that are not duplicative of | ||||||
8 | signs that are the
responsibility of the jurisdiction | ||||||
9 | charged with maintaining road and street
signs.
| ||||||
10 | (7) Other products and services necessary for the | ||||||
11 | implementation,
upgrade, and maintenance of the system and | ||||||
12 | any other purpose related to the

20 | (8) In the case of a municipality that imposes a | ||||||
21 | surcharge under subsection (h) of Section 15.3, moneys may | ||||||
22 | also be used for any anti-terrorism or emergency | ||||||
23 | preparedness measures, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
24 | preparedness planning, providing local matching funds for | ||||||
25 | federal or State grants, personnel training, and | ||||||
26 | specialized equipment, including surveillance cameras as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | needed to deal with natural and terrorist-inspired | ||||||
2 | emergency situations or events.
| ||||||
3 | Moneys in the fund may also be transferred to a | ||||||
4 | participating fire protection district to reimburse volunteer | ||||||
5 | firefighters who man remote telephone switching facilities | ||||||
6 | when dedicated 9-1-1 lines are down.
| ||||||
7 | (d) The board shall complete the data base before | ||||||
8 | implementation of the
9-1-1 system. The error ratio of the data | ||||||
9 | base shall not at any time
exceed 1% of the total data base.

20 | personal
property, other than personal property titled or | ||||||

24 | for public safety, public facility, or transportation purposes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in that county, if a
proposition for the
tax has been submitted | ||||||
2 | to the electors of that county and
approved by a majority of | ||||||

21 | construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, | ||||||
22 | financing, architectural planning, and installation of | ||||||
23 | capital facilities consisting of buildings, structures, | ||||||
24 | and durable equipment and for the acquisition and | ||||||
25 | improvement of real property and interest in real property | ||||||
26 | required, or expected to be required, in connection with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the public facilities, for use by the county for the | ||||||
2 | furnishing of governmental services to its citizens, | ||||||
3 | including but not limited to museums and nursing homes. | ||||||
4 | The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". | ||||||
5 | If a majority of the electors voting on
the proposition | ||||||
6 | vote in favor of it, the county may impose the tax.
A county | ||||||
7 | may not submit more than one proposition authorized by this | ||||||
8 | Section
to the electors at any one time.
| ||||||
9 | This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of food | ||||||
10 | for human
consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
11 | where it is sold (other
than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
12 | and food which has been prepared for
immediate consumption) and | ||||||
13 | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs,
medical | ||||||
14 | appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and | ||||||
15 | needles
used by diabetics. The tax imposed by a county under | ||||||
16 | this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an | ||||||
17 | incident of the tax shall be
collected and enforced by the | ||||||
18 | Illinois Department of Revenue and deposited
into a special | ||||||
19 | fund created for that purpose. The certificate
of registration | ||||||
20 | that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
| ||||||
21 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to | ||||||
22 | engage in a business
that is taxable without registering | ||||||
23 | separately with the Department under an
ordinance or resolution | ||||||
24 | under this Section. The Department has full
power to administer | ||||||
25 | and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
penalties | ||||||
26 | due under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to | ||||||
2 | determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of | ||||||
3 | the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. | ||||||
4 | In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
5 | Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall | ||||||
6 | (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
7 | powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
8 | restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
9 | terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are | ||||||
10 | prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f,
1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, | ||||||
11 | 1n,
2 through 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in | ||||||
12 | those Sections
other than the
State rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 | ||||||
13 | (except provisions
relating to
transaction returns and quarter | ||||||
14 | monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, | ||||||
15 | 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of | ||||||
16 | the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the | ||||||
17 | Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act as if those provisions were | ||||||
18 | set forth in this Section.
| ||||||
19 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
20 | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
21 | sellers' tax liability by
separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
22 | additional charge, which charge may be stated
in combination, | ||||||
23 | in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
| ||||||
24 | to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed | ||||||
25 | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
26 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
2 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
3 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
the | ||||||
4 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | ||||||
5 | from the
Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer out of the County
Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
7 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
| ||||||
8 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
| ||||||
9 | service occupation tax shall
also be imposed at the same rate | ||||||
10 | upon all persons engaged, in the county, in
the business
of | ||||||
11 | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | ||||||
12 | sales of
service, transfer tangible personal property within | ||||||
13 | the county
as an
incident to a sale of service.
This tax may | ||||||
14 | not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is | ||||||
15 | to
be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than | ||||||
16 | alcoholic beverages,
soft drinks, and food prepared for | ||||||
17 | immediate consumption) and prescription and
non-prescription | ||||||
18 | medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
| ||||||
19 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
The | ||||||
20 | tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that | ||||||
21 | may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and | ||||||
22 | enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department has
full | ||||||
23 | power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all | ||||||
24 | taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and | ||||||
25 | penalties so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
26 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the | ||||||
2 | administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
| ||||||
3 | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
4 | (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
5 | powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
6 | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
7 | and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes
of | ||||||
8 | procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
| ||||||
9 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
10 | place of
business in this State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, | ||||||
11 | 2c, 3 through
3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | ||||||
12 | than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to | ||||||
13 | the State shall be to the county),
5, 7, 8 (except that the | ||||||
14 | jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to
the extent | ||||||
15 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as
| ||||||
16 | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, 11, | ||||||
17 | 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
| ||||||
18 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference | ||||||
19 | to the State
shall mean the county), Section 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 | ||||||
20 | and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
the | ||||||
21 | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those | ||||||
22 | provisions were
set forth herein.
| ||||||
23 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
24 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
25 | serviceman's tax liability
by separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
26 | additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen are | ||||||
2 | authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
| ||||||
3 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
4 | prescribe.
| ||||||
5 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
6 | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
7 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
8 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
9 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
10 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
11 | Treasurer out
of the County Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
12 | Retailers' Occupation Fund.
| ||||||
13 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
14 | the county
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
15 | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
16 | may not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
| ||||||
17 | (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer, ex
officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
19 | collected under this Section to be
deposited into the County | ||||||
20 | Public Safety or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Tax | ||||||
21 | Fund, which
shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside | ||||||
22 | of the State treasury. On
or before the 25th
day of each | ||||||
23 | calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to the
| ||||||
24 | Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money
to the | ||||||
25 | counties from which retailers have paid
taxes or penalties to | ||||||
26 | the Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount to be paid to each county, and deposited by the
county | ||||||
2 | into its special fund created for the purposes of this Section, | ||||||
3 | shall
be the amount (not
including credit memoranda) collected | ||||||
4 | under this Section during the second
preceding
calendar month | ||||||
5 | by the Department plus an amount the Department determines is
| ||||||
6 | necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a | ||||||
7 | different
taxing body, and not including (i) an amount equal to | ||||||
8 | the amount of refunds
made
during the second preceding calendar | ||||||
9 | month by the Department on behalf of
the county and (ii) any | ||||||
10 | amount that the Department determines is
necessary to offset | ||||||
11 | any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body
but | ||||||
12 | were erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after | ||||||
13 | receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to | ||||||
14 | the counties provided for in
this Section to be given to the | ||||||
15 | Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
shall cause the | ||||||
16 | orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance
| ||||||
17 | with directions contained in the certification.
| ||||||
18 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
19 | paragraph, an
allocation shall be made in March of each year to | ||||||
20 | each county that received
more than $500,000 in disbursements | ||||||
21 | under the preceding paragraph in the
preceding calendar year. | ||||||
22 | The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the
average | ||||||
23 | monthly distribution made to each such county under the | ||||||
24 | preceding
paragraph during the preceding calendar year | ||||||
25 | (excluding the 2 months of
highest receipts). The distribution | ||||||
26 | made in March of each year subsequent to
the year in which an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
| ||||||
2 | preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated | ||||||
3 | and disbursed
under this paragraph in the preceding calendar | ||||||
4 | year. The Department shall
prepare and certify to the | ||||||
5 | Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
| ||||||
6 | accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
7 | (d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental | ||||||
8 | unit whose tax is
applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | ||||||
9 | coal or another mineral mined in
Illinois is a sale at retail | ||||||
10 | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois | ||||||
11 | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to | ||||||
12 | coal
or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
13 | seller to the
purchaser
at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
14 | sale is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale | ||||||
15 | in interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
16 | (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
17 | a county to
impose a
tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | ||||||
18 | business that under the Constitution
of the United States may | ||||||
19 | not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
20 | (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the | ||||||
21 | county board may,
by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate | ||||||
22 | of the tax. If the county board
lowers the tax rate or | ||||||
23 | discontinues the tax, a referendum must be
held in accordance | ||||||
24 | with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
| ||||||
25 | rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
| ||||||
26 | (f) Beginning April 1, 1998, the results of any election |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authorizing a
proposition to impose a tax
under this Section or | ||||||
2 | effecting a change in the rate of tax, or any ordinance
| ||||||
3 | lowering the rate or discontinuing the tax,
shall be certified
| ||||||
4 | by the
county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
5 | Revenue
either (i) on or
before the first day of April, | ||||||
6 | whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and | ||||||
7 | enforce the tax as of the first day of July next following
the | ||||||
8 | filing; or (ii)
on or before the first day of October, | ||||||
9 | whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
10 | enforce the tax as of the first
day of January next following | ||||||
11 | the filing.
| ||||||
12 | (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to | ||||||
13 | a county under
this
Section, the Department shall increase or | ||||||
14 | decrease the amounts by an amount
necessary to offset any | ||||||
15 | miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount | ||||||
16 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6 | ||||||
17 | months
from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
| ||||||
18 | (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County | ||||||
19 | Occupation Tax
For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or | ||||||
20 | Transportation Law".
| ||||||
21 | (i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes, | ||||||
22 | but is not
limited to, crime prevention, detention, fire | ||||||
23 | fighting, police, medical,
ambulance, or other emergency
| ||||||
24 | services. The county may share tax proceeds received under this | ||||||
25 | Section for public safety purposes, including proceeds | ||||||
26 | received before August 4, 2009 ( the effective date of Public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act 96-124) this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly , | ||||||
2 | with any fire protection district located in the county. For | ||||||
3 | the purposes of this Section, "transportation" includes, but
is | ||||||
4 | not limited to, the construction,
maintenance, operation, and | ||||||
5 | improvement of public highways, any other
purpose for which a | ||||||
6 | county may expend funds under the Illinois Highway Code,
and | ||||||
7 | passenger rail transportation. For the purposes of this | ||||||
8 | Section, "public facilities purposes" includes, but is not | ||||||
9 | limited to, the acquisition, development, construction, | ||||||
10 | reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, financing, | ||||||
11 | architectural planning, and installation of capital facilities | ||||||
12 | consisting of buildings, structures, and durable equipment and | ||||||
13 | for the acquisition and improvement of real property and | ||||||
14 | interest in real property required, or expected to be required, | ||||||
15 | in connection with the public facilities, for use by the county | ||||||
16 | for the furnishing of governmental services to its citizens, | ||||||
17 | including but not limited to museums and nursing homes. | ||||||
18 | (j) The Department may promulgate rules to implement Public | ||||||
19 | Act 95-1002 this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly | ||||||
20 | only to the extent necessary to apply the existing rules for | ||||||
21 | the Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax for Public Safety | ||||||
22 | to this new purpose for public facilities.

| ||||||
2 | For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or Transportation. | ||||||
3 | (a) The county board of any county may impose a
tax upon | ||||||
4 | all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
5 | personal
property, other than personal property titled or | ||||||
6 | registered with an agency of
this State's government, at retail | ||||||
7 | in the county on the gross receipts from the
sales made in the | ||||||
8 | course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively
| ||||||
9 | for public safety, public facility, or transportation purposes | ||||||
10 | in that county, if a
proposition for the
tax has been submitted | ||||||
11 | to the electors of that county and
approved by a majority of | ||||||
12 | those voting on the question. If imposed, this tax
shall be | ||||||
13 | imposed only in one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, | ||||||
14 | the
county board may order the proposition to be submitted at | ||||||
15 | any election.
If the tax is imposed for
transportation purposes | ||||||
16 | for expenditures for public highways or as
authorized
under the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Highway Code, the county board must publish notice
of | ||||||
18 | the existence of its long-range highway transportation
plan as | ||||||
19 | required or described in Section 5-301 of the Illinois
Highway | ||||||
20 | Code and must make the plan publicly available prior to
| ||||||
21 | approval of the ordinance or resolution
imposing the tax. If | ||||||
22 | the tax is imposed for transportation purposes for
expenditures | ||||||
23 | for passenger rail transportation, the county board must | ||||||
24 | publish
notice of the existence of its long-range passenger | ||||||
25 | rail transportation plan
and
must make the plan publicly | ||||||
26 | available prior to approval of the ordinance or
resolution |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imposing the tax. | ||||||
2 | If a tax is imposed for public facilities purposes, then | ||||||
3 | the name of the project may be included in the proposition at | ||||||
4 | the discretion of the county board as determined in the | ||||||
5 | enabling resolution. For example, the "XXX Nursing Home" or the | ||||||
6 | "YYY Museum". | ||||||
7 | The county clerk shall certify the
question to the proper | ||||||
8 | election authority, who
shall submit the proposition at an | ||||||
9 | election in accordance with the general
election law.
| ||||||
10 | (1) The proposition for public safety purposes shall be | ||||||
11 | in
substantially the following form: | ||||||
12 | "To pay for public safety purposes, shall (name of | ||||||

14 | local sales taxes by (insert rate)?" | ||||||
15 | As additional information on the ballot below the | ||||||

17 | "This would mean that a consumer would pay an | ||||||
18 | additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | The county board may also opt to establish a sunset | ||||||
21 | provision at which time the additional sales tax would | ||||||
22 | cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote | ||||||
23 | of the county board. If the county board votes to include a | ||||||
24 | sunset provision, the proposition for public safety | ||||||
25 | purposes shall be in substantially the following form: | ||||||

6 | capital facilities consisting of buildings, structures, | ||||||
7 | and durable equipment and for the acquisition and | ||||||
8 | improvement of real property and interest in real property | ||||||
9 | required, or expected to be required, in connection with | ||||||
10 | the public facilities, for use by the county for the | ||||||
11 | furnishing of governmental services to its citizens, | ||||||
12 | including but not limited to museums and nursing homes. | ||||||
13 | The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". | ||||||
14 | If a majority of the electors voting on
the proposition | ||||||
15 | vote in favor of it, the county may impose the tax.
A county | ||||||
16 | may not submit more than one proposition authorized by this | ||||||
17 | Section
to the electors at any one time.
| ||||||
18 | This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of food | ||||||
19 | for human
consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
20 | where it is sold (other
than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
21 | and food which has been prepared for
immediate consumption) and | ||||||
22 | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs,
medical | ||||||
23 | appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and | ||||||
24 | needles
used by diabetics. The tax imposed by a county under | ||||||
25 | this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an | ||||||
26 | incident of the tax shall be
collected and enforced by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Department of Revenue and deposited
into a special | ||||||
2 | fund created for that purpose. The certificate
of registration | ||||||
3 | that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
| ||||||
4 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to | ||||||
5 | engage in a business
that is taxable without registering | ||||||
6 | separately with the Department under an
ordinance or resolution | ||||||
7 | under this Section. The Department has full
power to administer | ||||||
8 | and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
penalties | ||||||
9 | due under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
| ||||||
10 | collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to | ||||||
11 | determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of | ||||||
12 | the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. | ||||||
13 | In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
14 | Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall | ||||||
15 | (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
16 | powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
17 | restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
18 | terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are | ||||||
19 | prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f,
1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, | ||||||
20 | 1n,
2 through 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in | ||||||
21 | those Sections
other than the
State rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 | ||||||
22 | (except provisions
relating to
transaction returns and quarter | ||||||
23 | monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, | ||||||
24 | 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of | ||||||
25 | the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the | ||||||
26 | Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act as if those provisions were |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | set forth in this Section.
| ||||||
2 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
3 | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
4 | sellers' tax liability by
separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
5 | additional charge, which charge may be stated
in combination, | ||||||
6 | in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
| ||||||
7 | to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed | ||||||
8 | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
9 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
10 | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
11 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
12 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
the | ||||||
13 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | ||||||
14 | from the
Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
15 | Treasurer out of the County
Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
16 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
| ||||||
17 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
| ||||||
18 | service occupation tax shall
also be imposed at the same rate | ||||||
19 | upon all persons engaged, in the county, in
the business
of | ||||||
20 | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | ||||||
21 | sales of
service, transfer tangible personal property within | ||||||
22 | the county
as an
incident to a sale of service.
This tax may | ||||||
23 | not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is | ||||||
24 | to
be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than | ||||||
25 | alcoholic beverages,
soft drinks, and food prepared for | ||||||
26 | immediate consumption) and prescription and
non-prescription |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
| ||||||
2 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
The | ||||||
3 | tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that | ||||||
4 | may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and | ||||||
5 | enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department has
full | ||||||
6 | power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all | ||||||
7 | taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and | ||||||
8 | penalties so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
9 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account | ||||||
10 | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the | ||||||
11 | administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
| ||||||
12 | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
13 | (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
14 | powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
15 | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
16 | and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes
of | ||||||
17 | procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
| ||||||
18 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
19 | place of
business in this State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, | ||||||
20 | 2c, 3 through
3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | ||||||
21 | than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to | ||||||
22 | the State shall be to the county),
5, 7, 8 (except that the | ||||||
23 | jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to
the extent | ||||||
24 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as
| ||||||
25 | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, 11, | ||||||
26 | 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference | ||||||
2 | to the State
shall mean the county), Section 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 | ||||||
3 | and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
the | ||||||
4 | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those | ||||||
5 | provisions were
set forth herein.
| ||||||
6 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
7 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
8 | serviceman's tax liability
by separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
9 | additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, | ||||||
10 | in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen are | ||||||
11 | authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
| ||||||
12 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
13 | prescribe.
| ||||||
14 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
15 | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
16 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
17 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
18 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
19 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
20 | Treasurer out
of the County Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
21 | Retailers' Occupation Fund.
| ||||||
22 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
23 | the county
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
24 | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
25 | may not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
| ||||||
26 | (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Treasurer, ex
officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
2 | collected under this Section to be
deposited into the County | ||||||
3 | Public Safety or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Tax | ||||||
4 | Fund, which
shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside | ||||||
5 | of the State treasury. On
or before the 25th
day of each | ||||||
6 | calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to the
| ||||||
7 | Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money
to the | ||||||
8 | counties from which retailers have paid
taxes or penalties to | ||||||
9 | the Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The | ||||||
10 | amount to be paid to each county, and deposited by the
county | ||||||
11 | into its special fund created for the purposes of this Section, | ||||||
12 | shall
be the amount (not
including credit memoranda) collected | ||||||
13 | under this Section during the second
preceding
calendar month | ||||||
14 | by the Department plus an amount the Department determines is
| ||||||
15 | necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a | ||||||
16 | different
taxing body, and not including (i) an amount equal to | ||||||
17 | the amount of refunds
made
during the second preceding calendar | ||||||
18 | month by the Department on behalf of
the county and (ii) any | ||||||
19 | amount that the Department determines is
necessary to offset | ||||||
20 | any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body
but | ||||||
21 | were erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after | ||||||
22 | receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to | ||||||
23 | the counties provided for in
this Section to be given to the | ||||||
24 | Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
shall cause the | ||||||
25 | orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance
| ||||||
26 | with directions contained in the certification.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
2 | paragraph, an
allocation shall be made in March of each year to | ||||||
3 | each county that received
more than $500,000 in disbursements | ||||||
4 | under the preceding paragraph in the
preceding calendar year. | ||||||
5 | The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the
average | ||||||
6 | monthly distribution made to each such county under the | ||||||
7 | preceding
paragraph during the preceding calendar year | ||||||
8 | (excluding the 2 months of
highest receipts). The distribution | ||||||
9 | made in March of each year subsequent to
the year in which an | ||||||
10 | allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
| ||||||
11 | preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated | ||||||
12 | and disbursed
under this paragraph in the preceding calendar | ||||||
13 | year. The Department shall
prepare and certify to the | ||||||
14 | Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
| ||||||
15 | accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
16 | A county may direct, by ordinance, that all or a portion of | ||||||
17 | the taxes and penalties collected under the Special County | ||||||
18 | Retailers' Occupation Tax For Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
19 | be deposited into the Transportation Development Partnership | ||||||
20 | Trust Fund. | ||||||
21 | (d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental | ||||||
22 | unit whose tax is
applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | ||||||
23 | coal or another mineral mined in
Illinois is a sale at retail | ||||||
24 | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois | ||||||
25 | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to | ||||||
26 | coal
or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | seller to the
purchaser
at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
2 | sale is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale | ||||||
3 | in interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
4 | (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
5 | a county to
impose a
tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | ||||||
6 | business that under the Constitution
of the United States may | ||||||
7 | not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
8 | (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the | ||||||
9 | county board may,
by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate | ||||||
10 | of the tax. If the county board
lowers the tax rate or | ||||||
11 | discontinues the tax, a referendum must be
held in accordance | ||||||
12 | with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
| ||||||
13 | rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
| ||||||
14 | (f) Beginning April 1, 1998, the results of any election | ||||||
15 | authorizing a
proposition to impose a tax
under this Section or | ||||||
16 | effecting a change in the rate of tax, or any ordinance
| ||||||
17 | lowering the rate or discontinuing the tax,
shall be certified
| ||||||
18 | by the
county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
19 | Revenue
either (i) on or
before the first day of April, | ||||||
20 | whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and | ||||||
21 | enforce the tax as of the first day of July next following
the | ||||||
22 | filing; or (ii)
on or before the first day of October, | ||||||
23 | whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
24 | enforce the tax as of the first
day of January next following | ||||||
25 | the filing.
| ||||||
26 | (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a county under
this
Section, the Department shall increase or | ||||||
2 | decrease the amounts by an amount
necessary to offset any | ||||||
3 | miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount | ||||||
4 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6 | ||||||
5 | months
from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
| ||||||
6 | (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County | ||||||
7 | Occupation Tax
For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or | ||||||
8 | Transportation Law".
| ||||||
9 | (i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes, | ||||||
10 | but is not
limited to, crime prevention, detention, fire | ||||||
11 | fighting, police, medical,
ambulance, or other emergency
| ||||||
12 | services. The county may share tax proceeds received under this | ||||||
13 | Section for public safety purposes, including proceeds | ||||||
14 | received before August 4, 2009 ( the effective date of Public | ||||||
15 | Act 96-124) this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly , | ||||||
16 | with any fire protection district located in the county. For | ||||||
17 | the purposes of this Section, "transportation" includes, but
is | ||||||
18 | not limited to, the construction,
maintenance, operation, and | ||||||
19 | improvement of public highways, any other
purpose for which a | ||||||
20 | county may expend funds under the Illinois Highway Code,
and | ||||||
21 | passenger rail transportation. For the purposes of this | ||||||
22 | Section, "public facilities purposes" includes, but is not | ||||||
23 | limited to, the acquisition, development, construction, | ||||||
24 | reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, financing, | ||||||
25 | architectural planning, and installation of capital facilities | ||||||
26 | consisting of buildings, structures, and durable equipment and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for the acquisition and improvement of real property and | ||||||
2 | interest in real property required, or expected to be required, | ||||||
3 | in connection with the public facilities, for use by the county | ||||||
4 | for the furnishing of governmental services to its citizens, | ||||||
5 | including but not limited to museums and nursing homes. | ||||||
6 | (j) The Department may promulgate rules to implement Public | ||||||
7 | Act 95-1002 this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly | ||||||
8 | only to the extent necessary to apply the existing rules for | ||||||
9 | the Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax for Public Safety | ||||||
10 | to this new purpose for public facilities.

1 | of the State and is a denial and limitation under
Article VII, | ||||||

| ||||||
18 | Sec. 5-1123. Builder or developer cash bond or other | ||||||
19 | surety.
| ||||||
20 | (a) A county may not require a cash bond, irrevocable | ||||||
21 | letter of credit,
surety bond, or letter of commitment issued | ||||||
22 | by a bank, savings and loan
association, surety, or insurance | ||||||
23 | company from a builder or developer to
guarantee completion of | ||||||
24 | a project improvement when the builder or developer
has filed | ||||||
25 | with the county clerk a current, irrevocable letter of credit, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | surety
bond, or letter of commitment, issued by a bank, savings | ||||||
2 | and loan association,
surety, or insurance company, deemed good | ||||||
3 | and sufficient by the county
accepting such security, in an | ||||||
4 | amount equal to or greater than 110% of the
amount of the bid | ||||||
5 | on each project improvement. A builder or developer has
the | ||||||
6 | option to utilize a cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit, | ||||||
7 | surety
bond, or letter of
commitment issued by a bank, savings | ||||||
8 | and loan association, surety, or insurance
company, deemed good | ||||||
9 | and sufficient by the county, to satisfy any cash bond
| ||||||
10 | requirement established by a county. The county must approve
| ||||||
11 | and deem a surety or insurance company good and sufficient for | ||||||
12 | the purposes
set forth in this Section if the surety or | ||||||
13 | insurance company is
authorized by the Illinois Department
of | ||||||
14 | Insurance to sell and issue sureties in the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
15 | (b) If a county receives a cash bond, irrevocable letter of | ||||||
16 | credit, or
surety bond from a builder or developer to
guarantee | ||||||
17 | completion of a project improvement, the county shall (i) | ||||||
18 | register
the bond under
the address of the project and the | ||||||
19 | construction permit number and (ii) give the
builder or | ||||||
20 | developer a receipt for the bond. The county shall establish | ||||||
21 | and
maintain a separate account for all cash bonds received | ||||||
22 | from builders and
developers to guarantee completion of a | ||||||
23 | project improvement.
| ||||||
24 | (c) The county shall refund a cash bond to a builder or | ||||||
25 | developer, or
release the irrevocable letter of credit or | ||||||
26 | surety bond, within
60 days after the builder or developer |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | notifies the county in writing of the
completion of the project | ||||||
2 | improvement for which the bond was required. For
these | ||||||
3 | purposes, "completion" means that the county has determined
| ||||||
4 | that the project improvement for which the bond was required is | ||||||
5 | complete or a
licensed engineer or licensed architect has | ||||||
6 | certified to the builder or
developer and the county that the | ||||||
7 | project improvement has been completed to the
applicable codes | ||||||
8 | and ordinances. The county shall pay interest to the builder
or | ||||||
9 | developer, beginning 60 days after the builder or developer | ||||||
10 | notifies the
county in writing of the completion of the project | ||||||
11 | improvement, on any bond not
refunded to a builder or | ||||||
12 | developer, at the rate of 1% per month.
| ||||||
13 | (d) A home rule county may not require or maintain cash | ||||||
14 | bonds, irrevocable
letters of credit, surety bonds, or other | ||||||
15 | adequate securities from builders
or developers in a manner | ||||||
16 | inconsistent with this Section. This Section
supersedes | ||||||
17 | supercedes and controls over other provisions of this Code as
| ||||||
18 | they apply to and guarantee completion of a project improvement | ||||||
19 | that is
required by the county. This Section is a
denial and | ||||||
20 | limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of | ||||||
21 | the
Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by a home | ||||||
22 | rule county of
powers and functions exercised by the State.

25 | Sec. 5-12020. Wind farms. A county may establish standards |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for wind farms and electric-generating wind devices. The | ||||||
2 | standards may include, without limitation, the height of the | ||||||
3 | devices and the number of devices that may be located within a | ||||||
4 | geographic area. A county may also regulate the siting of wind | ||||||
5 | farms and electric-generating wind devices in unincorporated | ||||||
6 | areas of the county outside of the zoning jurisdiction of a | ||||||
7 | municipality and the 1.5 mile radius surrounding the zoning | ||||||
8 | jurisdiction of a municipality. There shall be at least one | ||||||
9 | public hearing not more than 30 days prior to a siting decision | ||||||
10 | by the county board. Notice of the hearing shall be published | ||||||
11 | in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. Counties | ||||||
12 | may allow test wind towers to be sited without formal approval | ||||||
13 | by the county board. Any provision of a county zoning ordinance | ||||||
14 | pertaining to wind farms that is in effect before the effective | ||||||
15 | date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly may | ||||||
16 | continue in effect notwithstanding any requirements of this | ||||||
17 | Section. | ||||||
18 | A county may not require a wind tower or other renewable | ||||||
19 | energy system that is used exclusively by an end user to be | ||||||
20 | setback more than 1.1 times the height of the renewable energy | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | Sec. 7-1-1. Annexation of contiguous territory. Any | ||||||
21 | territory that is not within the corporate limits of any | ||||||
22 | municipality but
is contiguous to a municipality may be annexed | ||||||
23 | to the municipality as provided
in this Article. For the | ||||||
24 | purposes of this Article any territory to be annexed
to a | ||||||
25 | municipality shall be considered to be contiguous to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality
notwithstanding that the territory is separated | ||||||
2 | from the municipality by a
strip parcel, railroad or public | ||||||
3 | utility right-of-way, or former railroad right-of-way that has | ||||||
4 | been converted to a recreational trail, but upon annexation the | ||||||
5 | area included
within that strip parcel, right-of-way, or former | ||||||
6 | right-of-way shall not be considered to be annexed to the
| ||||||
7 | municipality. For purposes of this Section, "strip parcel" | ||||||
8 | means a separation no wider than 30 feet between the territory | ||||||
9 | to be annexed and the municipal boundary.
| ||||||
10 | Except in counties with a population of more than
600,000
| ||||||
11 | but
less than 3,000,000, territory which is not contiguous to a | ||||||
12 | municipality but is
separated therefrom only by a forest | ||||||
13 | preserve district, federal wildlife refuge, or open land or | ||||||
14 | open space that is part of an open space program, as defined in | ||||||
15 | Section 115-5 of the Township Code, may be annexed to the
| ||||||
16 | municipality pursuant to Section 7-1-7 or 7-1-8, but
only if | ||||||
17 | the annexing municipality can show that the forest preserve | ||||||
18 | district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
| ||||||
19 | creates an artificial barrier preventing the annexation and | ||||||
20 | that the location
of the forest preserve district, federal | ||||||
21 | wildlife refuge, open land, or open space property prevents the | ||||||
22 | orderly natural growth of
the annexing municipality. It shall | ||||||
23 | be conclusively presumed that the forest
preserve district, | ||||||
24 | federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
does not | ||||||
25 | create an artificial barrier if the property sought
to be | ||||||
26 | annexed is bounded on at least 3 sides by (i) one or more other
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipalities (other than the municipality seeking annexation | ||||||
2 | through the
existing forest preserve district, federal | ||||||
3 | wildlife refuge, open land, or open space), (ii) forest | ||||||
4 | preserve district property, federal wildlife refuge, open | ||||||
5 | land, or open space, or
(iii) a combination of other | ||||||
6 | municipalities and forest preserve district
property, federal | ||||||
7 | wildlife refuge property, open land, or open space. It shall | ||||||
8 | also be conclusively presumed that the forest preserve
| ||||||
9 | district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space
| ||||||
10 | does not create an artificial barrier if the municipality | ||||||
11 | seeking
annexation is not the closest municipality within the | ||||||
12 | county to the property to be annexed.
The territory included
| ||||||
13 | within such forest preserve district, federal wildlife refuge,
| ||||||
14 | open land, or open space shall not be annexed to the | ||||||
15 | municipality
nor shall the territory of the forest preserve | ||||||
16 | district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space be | ||||||
17 | subject to
rights-of-way for access or services between the | ||||||
18 | parts of the municipality
separated by the forest preserve | ||||||
19 | district, federal wildlife refuge, open land, or open space | ||||||
20 | without the consent of the governing
body of the forest | ||||||
21 | preserve district or federal wildlife refuge.
The changes made | ||||||
22 | to this Section by Public Act 91-824 this amendatory Act of | ||||||
23 | 91st General
Assembly are
declaratory of existing law and shall | ||||||
24 | not be construed as a new enactment.
| ||||||
25 | In counties that are contiguous to the Mississippi River | ||||||
26 | with populations
of more than 200,000 but less than 255,000, a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality that is partially
located in territory that is | ||||||
2 | wholly surrounded by the Mississippi River and a
canal, | ||||||
3 | connected at both ends to the Mississippi River and located on | ||||||
4 | property
owned by the United States of America, may annex | ||||||
5 | noncontiguous territory in the
surrounded territory under | ||||||
6 | Sections 7-1-7, 7-1-8, or 7-1-9 if that territory is
separated | ||||||
7 | from the municipality by property owned by the United States of
| ||||||
8 | America, but that federal property shall not be annexed without | ||||||
9 | the consent of
the federal government.
| ||||||
10 | For the purposes of this Article, any territory to be | ||||||
11 | annexed to a municipality that is located in a county with more | ||||||
12 | than 500,000 inhabitants shall be considered to be contiguous | ||||||
13 | to the municipality if only a river and a national heritage | ||||||
14 | corridor separate the territory from the municipality. Upon | ||||||
15 | annexation, no river or national heritage corridor shall be | ||||||
16 | considered annexed to the municipality.
| ||||||
17 | When any land proposed to be annexed is part of any Fire | ||||||
18 | Protection
District or of any Public Library District and the | ||||||
19 | annexing
municipality provides fire protection or a public | ||||||
20 | library, as the case
may be, the Trustees of each District | ||||||
21 | shall be notified in writing by
certified or registered mail | ||||||
22 | before any court hearing or other action is
taken for | ||||||
23 | annexation. The notice shall be served 10 days in advance.
An | ||||||
24 | affidavit that service of notice has been had as provided by | ||||||
25 | this
Section must be filed with the clerk of the court in which | ||||||
26 | the
annexation proceedings are pending or will be instituted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or, when no
court proceedings are involved, with the recorder | ||||||
2 | for the
county where the land is situated. No annexation of | ||||||
3 | that land is
effective unless service is had and the affidavit | ||||||
4 | filed as provided in
this Section.
| ||||||
5 | The new boundary shall extend to the far side of any | ||||||
6 | adjacent highway
and shall include all of every highway within | ||||||
7 | the area annexed. These
highways shall be considered to be | ||||||
8 | annexed even though not included in
the legal description set | ||||||
9 | forth in the petition for annexation. When
any land proposed to | ||||||
10 | be annexed includes any highway under the
jurisdiction of any | ||||||
11 | township, the Township Commissioner of Highways,
the Board of | ||||||
12 | Town Trustees, the Township Supervisor, and the Township Clerk | ||||||
13 | shall be notified in writing by certified or
registered mail | ||||||
14 | before any court hearing or other action is taken for
| ||||||
15 | annexation. In the event that a municipality fails to notify | ||||||
16 | the Township
Commissioner of Highways, the Board of Town | ||||||
17 | Trustees, the Township Supervisor, and the Township Clerk of | ||||||
18 | the annexation
of an area within the township, the municipality | ||||||
19 | shall reimburse that
township for any loss or liability caused | ||||||
20 | by the failure to give
notice. If any municipality has annexed | ||||||
21 | any area before October 1,
1975, and the legal description in | ||||||
22 | the petition for annexation did not
include the entire adjacent | ||||||
23 | highway, any such annexation shall be valid and any
highway | ||||||
24 | adjacent to the area annexed shall be considered to be annexed
| ||||||
25 | notwithstanding the failure of the petition to annex to include | ||||||
26 | the
description of the entire adjacent highway.
|

| |||||||
1 | Any annexation, disconnection and annexation, or | ||||||
2 | disconnection under
this Article of any territory must be | ||||||
3 | reported by certified or
registered mail by the corporate | ||||||
4 | authority initiating the action to the
election authorities | ||||||
5 | having jurisdiction in the territory and the post
office | ||||||
6 | branches serving the territory within 30 days of the | ||||||
7 | annexation,
disconnection and annexation, or disconnection.
| ||||||
8 | Failure to give notice to the required election authorities | ||||||
9 | or
post office branches will not invalidate the annexation or
| ||||||
10 | disconnection. For purposes of this Section "election | ||||||
11 | authorities"
means the county clerk where the clerk acts as the | ||||||
12 | clerk of elections
or the clerk of the election commission | ||||||
13 | having jurisdiction.
| ||||||
14 | No annexation, disconnection and annexation, or | ||||||
15 | disconnection under
this Article of territory having electors | ||||||
16 | residing therein made (1)

affected thereby and after the | ||||||
18 | time for filing petitions as a candidate
for nomination to any | ||||||
19 | office to be chosen at the primary election or (2) within
60 | ||||||
20 | days before any general election to be held within the | ||||||
21 | municipality shall be
effective until the day after the date of | ||||||
22 | the primary or general election, as
the case may be.
| ||||||
23 | For the purpose of this Section, a toll highway or | ||||||
24 | connection between
parcels via an overpass bridge over a toll | ||||||
25 | highway shall not be
considered a deterrent to the definition | ||||||
26 | of contiguous territory.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | When territory is proposed to be annexed
by court order | ||||||
2 | under this Article, the corporate
authorities or petitioners
| ||||||
3 | initiating the action shall notify each person who pays real | ||||||
4 | estate taxes on
property within that territory unless the | ||||||
5 | person is a petitioner. The notice
shall be served
by certified
| ||||||
6 | or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least 20 days | ||||||
7 | before a court
hearing or other court action.
If the person
who | ||||||
8 | pays real estate taxes on the property is not the owner of
| ||||||
9 | record, then the payor shall notify the owner of record of the | ||||||
10 | proposed
annexation.

246,000 according to the | ||||||
13 | 1990 federal census and bordered by the Mississippi
River,

15 | time the agreement is signed, ownership or control of all | ||||||
16 | property
that would make the property that is the subject of | ||||||

25 | Sec. 11-20-15. Lien for removal costs. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) If the municipality incurs a removal cost under Section | ||||||
2 | 11-20-7, 11-20-8, 11-20-12, or 11-20-13 with respect to any | ||||||
3 | underlying parcel, then that cost is a lien upon that | ||||||
4 | underlying parcel. This lien is superior to all other liens and | ||||||
5 | encumbrances, except tax liens and as otherwise provided in | ||||||
6 | subsection (c)
of this Section. | ||||||
7 | (b) To perfect a lien under this Section, the municipality | ||||||
8 | must, within one year after the removal cost is incurred, file | ||||||
9 | notice of lien in the office of the recorder in the county in | ||||||
10 | which the underlying parcel is located or, if the underlying | ||||||
11 | parcel is registered under the Torrens system, in the office of | ||||||
12 | the Registrar of Titles of that county. The notice must consist | ||||||
13 | of a sworn statement setting out: | ||||||
14 | (1) a description of the underlying parcel that | ||||||
15 | sufficiently identifies the parcel; | ||||||
16 | (2) the amount of the removal cost; and | ||||||
17 | (3) the date or dates when the removal cost was | ||||||
18 | incurred by the municipality. | ||||||
19 | If, for any one parcel, the municipality engaged in any | ||||||
20 | removal activity on more than one occasion during the course of | ||||||
21 | one year, then the municipality may combine any or all of the | ||||||
22 | costs of each of those activities into a single notice of lien. | ||||||
23 | (c) A lien under this Section is not valid as to: (i) any | ||||||
24 | purchaser whose rights in and to the underlying parcel arose | ||||||
25 | after the removal activity but before the filing of the notice | ||||||
26 | of lien; or (ii) any mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | lienor whose rights in and to the underlying parcel arose | ||||||
2 | before the filing of the notice of lien. | ||||||
3 | (d) The removal cost is not a lien on the underlying parcel | ||||||
4 | unless a notice is personally served on, or sent by certified | ||||||
5 | mail to, the person to whom was sent the tax bill for the | ||||||
6 | general taxes on the property for the taxable year immediately | ||||||
7 | preceding the removal activities. The notice must be delivered | ||||||
8 | or sent after the removal activities have been performed, and | ||||||
9 | it must: (i) state the substance of this Section and the | ||||||
10 | substance of any ordinance of the municipality implementing | ||||||
11 | this Section; (ii) identify the underlying parcel, by common | ||||||
12 | description; and (iii) describe the removal activity. | ||||||
13 | (e) A lien under this Section may be enforced by | ||||||
14 | proceedings to foreclose as in case of mortgages or mechanics' | ||||||
15 | liens. An action to foreclose a lien under this Section must be | ||||||
16 | commenced within 2 years after the date of filing notice of | ||||||
17 | lien. | ||||||
18 | (f) Any person who performs a removal activity by the | ||||||
19 | authority of the municipality may, in his or her own name, file | ||||||
20 | a lien and foreclose on that lien in the same manner as a | ||||||
21 | municipality under this Section. | ||||||
22 | (g) A failure to file a foreclosure action does not, in any | ||||||
23 | way, affect the validity of the lien against the underlying | ||||||
24 | parcel. | ||||||
25 | (h) Upon payment of the lien cost by the owner of the | ||||||
26 | underlying parcel after notice of lien has been filed, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality (or its agent under subsection (f)) shall release | ||||||
2 | the lien, and the release may be filed of record by the owner | ||||||
3 | at his or her sole expense as in the case of filing notice of | ||||||
4 | lien. | ||||||
5 | (i) For the purposes of this Section: | ||||||
6 | "Lien cost" means the removal cost and the filing costs for | ||||||
7 | any notice of lien under subsection (b). | ||||||
8 | "Removal activity" means any activity for which a removal | ||||||
9 | cost was incurred. | ||||||
10 | "Removal cost" means a removal cost as defined under | ||||||
11 | Section 11-20-7, 11-20-8, 11-20-12, or 11-20-13. | ||||||
12 | "Underlying parcel" means a parcel of private property upon | ||||||
13 | which a removal activity was performed. | ||||||
14 | "Year" means a 365-day period. | ||||||
15 | (j) This Section applies only to liens filed after August | ||||||
16 | 14, 2009 (the effective date of Public Act 96-462).
| ||||||
17 | (k) This Section shall not apply to a lien filed pursuant | ||||||
18 | to Section 11-20-15.1. | ||||||

21 | Sec. 11-20-16 11-20-15 . Retail food establishments. | ||||||
22 | (a) A municipality in a county having a population of | ||||||
23 | 2,000,000 or more inhabitants must regulate and inspect retail | ||||||
24 | food establishments in the municipality. A municipality must | ||||||
25 | regulate and inspect retail food establishments in accordance |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with applicable federal and State laws pertaining to the | ||||||
2 | operation of retail food establishments including but not | ||||||
3 | limited to the Illinois Food Handling Regulation Enforcement | ||||||
4 | Act, the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Sanitary | ||||||
5 | Food Preparation Act, the regulations of the Illinois | ||||||
6 | Department of Public Health, and local ordinances and | ||||||
7 | regulations. This subsection shall not apply to a municipality | ||||||
8 | that is served by a certified local health department other | ||||||
9 | than a county certified local health department. | ||||||
10 | A home rule unit may not regulate retail food | ||||||
11 | establishments in a less restrictive manner than as provided in | ||||||
12 | this Section. This Section is a limitation of home rule powers | ||||||
13 | under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the | ||||||
14 | Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule | ||||||
15 | units of the powers and functions exercised by the State. | ||||||
16 | (b) A municipality may enter into an intergovernmental | ||||||
17 | agreement with a county that provides for the county's | ||||||
18 | certified local health department to perform any or all | ||||||
19 | inspection functions for the municipality. The municipality | ||||||
20 | must pay the county's reasonable costs. An intergovernmental | ||||||
21 | agreement shall not preclude a municipality from continuing to | ||||||
22 | license retail food establishments within its jurisdiction. | ||||||
23 | (c) For the purpose of this Section, "retail food | ||||||
24 | establishment" includes a food service establishment, a | ||||||
25 | temporary food service establishment, and a retail food store | ||||||
26 | as defined in the Food Service Sanitation Code, 77 Ill. Adm. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Code Part 750, and the Retail Food Store Sanitation Code, 77 | ||||||

| ||||||
5 | Sec. 11-39-3. Builder or developer cash bond or other | ||||||
6 | surety.
| ||||||
7 | (a) A municipality may not require a cash bond, irrevocable | ||||||
8 | letter of
credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued | ||||||
9 | by a bank, savings and loan
association, surety, or insurance | ||||||
10 | company from a builder or developer
to guarantee completion of | ||||||
11 | a project improvement when the builder or developer
has filed | ||||||
12 | with the municipal clerk a
current, irrevocable letter of | ||||||
13 | credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment
issued by a bank, | ||||||
14 | savings and loan association, surety, or insurance company,
| ||||||
15 | deemed good and sufficient
by the municipality accepting such | ||||||
16 | security, in an
amount
equal
to or greater than 110% of the | ||||||
17 | amount of the bid on each project improvement.
A builder or | ||||||
18 | developer has the option to utilize a
cash bond, irrevocable | ||||||
19 | letter of credit,
surety bond, or letter of commitment, issued | ||||||
20 | by a bank, savings and loan
association, surety, or insurance | ||||||
21 | company, deemed good and
sufficient
by the municipality, to
| ||||||
22 | satisfy any cash bond requirement established by a | ||||||
23 | municipality.
Except for a municipality or county with a | ||||||
24 | population of 1,000,000 or more,
the municipality must approve | ||||||
25 | and deem a surety or insurance
company good and sufficient for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the purposes set forth in this Section if the
surety or | ||||||
2 | insurance company is authorized by the Illinois Department
of | ||||||
3 | Insurance to sell and issue sureties in the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
4 | (b) If a municipality receives a cash bond, irrevocable | ||||||
5 | letter of credit,
or surety bond from a builder or developer to
| ||||||
6 | guarantee completion of a project improvement, the | ||||||
7 | municipality shall (i)
register the bond
under
the address of | ||||||
8 | the project and the construction permit number and (ii) give | ||||||
9 | the
builder or developer a receipt for the bond. The | ||||||
10 | municipality shall establish
and
maintain a separate account | ||||||
11 | for all cash bonds received from builders and
developers to | ||||||
12 | guarantee completion of a project improvement.
| ||||||
13 | (c) The municipality shall refund a cash bond to a builder | ||||||
14 | or developer,
or release the irrevocable letter of credit or | ||||||
15 | surety bond
within
60 days after the builder or developer | ||||||
16 | notifies the municipality in writing of
the
completion of the | ||||||
17 | project improvement for which the bond
was required.
For these | ||||||
18 | purposes, "completion" means that the municipality has | ||||||
19 | determined
that the project improvement for which the bond was | ||||||
20 | required is complete or a
licensed engineer or licensed | ||||||
21 | architect has certified to the builder or
developer and the | ||||||
22 | municipality that the project improvement has been completed
to | ||||||
23 | the applicable codes and ordinances.
The municipality shall pay | ||||||
24 | interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60
days after | ||||||
25 | builder or developer notifies the municipality in writing of | ||||||
26 | the
completion of
the
project improvement, on any bond not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | refunded to a builder or developer, at
the rate of 1%
per | ||||||
2 | month.
| ||||||
3 | (d) A home rule municipality may not require or maintain | ||||||
4 | cash bonds,
irrevocable letters of credit, surety bonds, or | ||||||
5 | letters of commitment issued by
a bank, savings and loan | ||||||
6 | association, surety, or insurance company
from
builders or | ||||||
7 | developers in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This
| ||||||
8 | Section supersedes supercedes and controls over other | ||||||
9 | provisions of this Code
as they apply to and guarantee | ||||||
10 | completion of a project improvement that is
required by the | ||||||
11 | municipality, regardless of whether the project improvement is
| ||||||
12 | a condition of annexation agreements. This
Section is a denial | ||||||
13 | and limitation under subsection (i) of Section
6 of Article VII | ||||||
14 | of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by a
| ||||||
15 | home rule municipality of powers and functions exercised by the | ||||||
16 | State.

| ||||||
19 | Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms, wherever | ||||||
20 | used or
referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have the | ||||||
21 | following respective meanings,
unless in any case a different | ||||||
22 | meaning clearly appears from the context.
| ||||||
23 | (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been | ||||||
24 | designated pursuant
to this
Section by an ordinance adopted | ||||||
25 | prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective
date of Public Act
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set
forth in | ||||||
2 | this Section
prior to that date.
| ||||||
3 | On and after November 1, 1999,
"blighted area" means any | ||||||
4 | improved or vacant area within the boundaries
of a | ||||||
5 | redevelopment project area located within the territorial | ||||||
6 | limits of
the municipality where:
| ||||||
7 | (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and | ||||||
8 | residential buildings or
improvements are detrimental to | ||||||
9 | the public safety, health, or welfare
because of a | ||||||
10 | combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of | ||||||
11 | which
is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a | ||||||
12 | meaningful extent so
that a municipality may reasonably | ||||||
13 | find that the factor is clearly
present within the intent | ||||||
14 | of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout
the | ||||||
15 | improved part of the redevelopment project area:
| ||||||
16 | (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair | ||||||
17 | or neglect of
necessary
repairs to the primary | ||||||
18 | structural components of buildings or improvements in
| ||||||
19 | such a combination that a documented building | ||||||
20 | condition analysis determines
that major repair is | ||||||
21 | required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
| ||||||
22 | that the buildings must be removed.
| ||||||
23 | (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of | ||||||
24 | falling into disuse.
Structures have become ill-suited | ||||||
25 | for the original use.
| ||||||
26 | (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defects
including, but not limited to, major defects in
| ||||||
2 | the secondary building components such as doors, | ||||||
3 | windows, porches, gutters and
downspouts, and fascia. | ||||||
4 | With respect to surface improvements, that the
| ||||||
5 | condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, | ||||||
6 | sidewalks, off-street parking,
and surface storage | ||||||
7 | areas evidence deterioration, including, but not | ||||||
8 | limited
to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, | ||||||
9 | depressions, loose paving material,
and weeds | ||||||
10 | protruding through paved surfaces.
| ||||||
11 | (D) Presence of structures below minimum code | ||||||
12 | standards. All structures
that do not meet the | ||||||
13 | standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
| ||||||
14 | other governmental codes applicable to property, but | ||||||
15 | not including housing and
property maintenance codes.
| ||||||
16 | (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use | ||||||
17 | of structures in
violation of applicable federal, | ||||||
18 | State, or local laws, exclusive of those
applicable to | ||||||
19 | the presence of structures below minimum code | ||||||
20 | standards.
| ||||||
21 | (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of
buildings | ||||||
22 | that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that | ||||||
23 | represent an adverse
influence on the area because of | ||||||
24 | the frequency, extent, or duration of the
vacancies.
| ||||||
25 | (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary | ||||||
26 | facilities. The absence of
adequate ventilation for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
| ||||||
2 | windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, | ||||||
3 | gas, smoke, or other
noxious airborne materials. | ||||||
4 | Inadequate natural light and ventilation means
the | ||||||
5 | absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or | ||||||
6 | rooms and improper
window sizes and amounts by room | ||||||
7 | area to window area ratios. Inadequate
sanitary | ||||||
8 | facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of | ||||||
9 | garbage storage and
enclosure,
bathroom facilities, | ||||||
10 | hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
| ||||||
11 | preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and | ||||||
12 | units within a
building.
| ||||||
13 | (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead | ||||||
14 | utilities
such as storm sewers and storm drainage, | ||||||
15 | sanitary sewers, water lines, and
gas, telephone, and
| ||||||
16 | electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. | ||||||
17 | Inadequate utilities are
those that are: (i) of | ||||||
18 | insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
| ||||||
19 | redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
| ||||||
20 | antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) | ||||||
21 | lacking within the
redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
22 | (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of | ||||||
23 | structures and community
facilities. The | ||||||
24 | over-intensive use of property and the crowding of | ||||||
25 | buildings
and accessory facilities onto a site. | ||||||
26 | Examples of problem conditions
warranting the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land | ||||||
2 | coverage
are: (i) the presence of buildings either | ||||||
3 | improperly situated on parcels or
located
on parcels of | ||||||
4 | inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day | ||||||
5 | standards of
development for health and safety and (ii) | ||||||
6 | the presence of multiple buildings
on a
single parcel. | ||||||
7 | For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
| ||||||
8 | these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following | ||||||
9 | conditions:
insufficient provision for
light and air | ||||||
10 | within or around buildings, increased threat of spread | ||||||
11 | of fire
due to the close proximity of buildings, lack | ||||||
12 | of adequate or proper access to a
public right-of-way, | ||||||
13 | lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
| ||||||
14 | inadequate provision for loading and service.
| ||||||
15 | (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence | ||||||
16 | of incompatible
land-use
relationships, buildings | ||||||
17 | occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
| ||||||
18 | considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for | ||||||
19 | the
surrounding area.
| ||||||
20 | (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed | ||||||
21 | redevelopment project area
has incurred Illinois | ||||||
22 | Environmental Protection Agency or United States
| ||||||
23 | Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for, | ||||||
24 | or a study conducted by
an independent consultant | ||||||
25 | recognized as having expertise in environmental
| ||||||
26 | remediation has determined a need for, the
clean-up of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hazardous
waste, hazardous substances, or underground | ||||||
2 | storage tanks required by State or
federal law, | ||||||
3 | provided that the remediation costs constitute a | ||||||
4 | material
impediment to the development or | ||||||
5 | redevelopment of the redevelopment project
area.
| ||||||
6 | (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed | ||||||
7 | redevelopment project area
was
developed prior to or | ||||||
8 | without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
| ||||||
9 | This means that the development occurred prior to the | ||||||
10 | adoption by the
municipality of a comprehensive or | ||||||
11 | other community plan or that the plan was
not followed | ||||||
12 | at the time of the area's development. This factor must | ||||||
13 | be
documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible | ||||||
14 | land-use relationships,
inadequate street layout, | ||||||
15 | improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
| ||||||
16 | size to meet contemporary development standards, or | ||||||
17 | other evidence
demonstrating
an absence of effective | ||||||
18 | community planning.
| ||||||
19 | (M) The total equalized assessed value of the | ||||||
20 | proposed redevelopment
project area has declined for 3 | ||||||
21 | of the last 5 calendar years
prior to the year in which | ||||||
22 | the redevelopment project area is designated
or is | ||||||
23 | increasing at an
annual rate that is less
than the | ||||||
24 | balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 | ||||||
25 | calendar years
for which
information is available or is | ||||||
26 | increasing at an annual rate that is less than
the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers published | ||||||
2 | by the United States Department of Labor or
successor | ||||||
3 | agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years
prior to the | ||||||
4 | year in which the redevelopment project area is | ||||||
5 | designated.
| ||||||
6 | (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment | ||||||
7 | project area
is impaired by a
combination of 2 or more of | ||||||
8 | the following factors, each of which
is (i) present, with | ||||||
9 | that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so
that
a | ||||||
10 | municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly | ||||||
11 | present
within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably | ||||||
12 | distributed throughout the
vacant part of the
| ||||||
13 | redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
| ||||||
14 | (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results | ||||||
15 | in parcels of
limited or
narrow size or configurations | ||||||
16 | of parcels of irregular size or shape that would
be | ||||||
17 | difficult to develop on
a planned basis and in a manner | ||||||
18 | compatible with contemporary standards and
| ||||||
19 | requirements, or platting that failed to create | ||||||
20 | rights-of-ways for streets or
alleys or that created | ||||||
21 | inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
| ||||||
22 | other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements | ||||||
23 | for public utilities.
| ||||||
24 | (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant | ||||||
25 | land sufficient in
number to
retard or impede the | ||||||
26 | ability to assemble the land for development.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist | ||||||
2 | or the property has
been the subject of tax sales under | ||||||
3 | the Property Tax Code within the last 5
years.
| ||||||
4 | (D) Deterioration of structures or site | ||||||
5 | improvements in neighboring
areas adjacent to the | ||||||
6 | vacant land.
| ||||||
7 | (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental | ||||||
8 | Protection Agency or
United States Environmental | ||||||
9 | Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
| ||||||
10 | conducted by an independent consultant recognized as | ||||||
11 | having expertise in
environmental remediation has | ||||||
12 | determined a need for, the
clean-up of hazardous
waste, | ||||||
13 | hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks | ||||||
14 | required by State or
federal law, provided that the | ||||||
15 | remediation costs
constitute a material impediment to | ||||||
16 | the development or redevelopment of
the
redevelopment | ||||||
17 | project area.
| ||||||
18 | (F) The total equalized assessed value of the | ||||||
19 | proposed redevelopment
project area has declined for 3 | ||||||
20 | of the last 5 calendar years
prior to the year in which | ||||||
21 | the redevelopment project area is designated
or is | ||||||
22 | increasing at an
annual rate that is less
than the | ||||||
23 | balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 | ||||||
24 | calendar years for
which information is available or is | ||||||
25 | increasing at an annual rate that is less
than
the | ||||||
26 | Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers published |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by the United States Department of Labor or
successor | ||||||
2 | agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years
prior to the | ||||||
3 | year in which the redevelopment project area is | ||||||
4 | designated.
| ||||||
5 | (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment | ||||||
6 | project area is
impaired by one of the
following factors | ||||||
7 | that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
| ||||||
8 | meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably | ||||||
9 | find that the factor is
clearly
present within the intent | ||||||
10 | of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed
throughout | ||||||
11 | the vacant part of the
redevelopment project area to which | ||||||
12 | it pertains:
| ||||||
13 | (A) The area consists of one or more unused | ||||||
14 | quarries, mines, or strip
mine ponds.
| ||||||
15 | (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail | ||||||
16 | tracks, or railroad
rights-of-way.
| ||||||
17 | (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject | ||||||
18 | to (i) chronic
flooding
that adversely impacts on real | ||||||
19 | property in the area as certified by a
registered
| ||||||
20 | professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency | ||||||
21 | or (ii) surface water
that
discharges from all or a | ||||||
22 | part of the area and contributes to flooding within
the
| ||||||
23 | same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project | ||||||
24 | provides for facilities
or
improvements to contribute | ||||||
25 | to the alleviation of all or part of the
flooding.
| ||||||
26 | (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | disposal site containing
earth,
stone, building | ||||||
2 | debris, or similar materials that were removed from
| ||||||
3 | construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
| ||||||
4 | (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area
is not less | ||||||
5 | than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75%
of which is | ||||||
6 | vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
for | ||||||
7 | commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior | ||||||
8 | to the designation
of the redevelopment project area), | ||||||
9 | and the area meets at least one of
the factors itemized | ||||||
10 | in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area
has been | ||||||
11 | designated as a town or village center by ordinance or | ||||||
12 | comprehensive
plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982, | ||||||
13 | and the area has not been developed
for that designated | ||||||
14 | purpose.
| ||||||
15 | (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area | ||||||
16 | immediately prior to
becoming vacant, unless there has | ||||||
17 | been substantial private investment in the
immediately | ||||||
18 | surrounding area.
| ||||||
19 | (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been | ||||||
20 | designated pursuant
to this
Section by an ordinance adopted | ||||||
21 | prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective
date of Public Act
| ||||||
22 | 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning
set forth | ||||||
23 | in this
Section prior to that date.
| ||||||
24 | On and after November 1, 1999,
"conservation area" means | ||||||
25 | any improved area within the boundaries
of a redevelopment | ||||||
26 | project area located within the territorial limits of
the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area | ||||||
2 | have
an age of 35 years or more.
Such an area is not yet a | ||||||
3 | blighted area but
because of a combination of 3 or more of the | ||||||
4 | following factors is detrimental
to the public safety, health, | ||||||
5 | morals
or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
| ||||||
6 | (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or | ||||||
7 | neglect of
necessary
repairs to the primary structural | ||||||
8 | components of buildings or improvements in
such a | ||||||
9 | combination that a documented building condition analysis | ||||||
10 | determines
that major repair is required or the defects are | ||||||
11 | so serious and so extensive
that the buildings must be | ||||||
12 | removed.
| ||||||
13 | (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling | ||||||
14 | into disuse.
Structures have become ill-suited for the | ||||||
15 | original use.
| ||||||
16 | (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
| ||||||
17 | including, but not limited to, major defects in
the | ||||||
18 | secondary building components such as doors, windows, | ||||||
19 | porches, gutters and
downspouts, and fascia. With respect | ||||||
20 | to surface improvements, that the
condition of roadways, | ||||||
21 | alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking,
and | ||||||
22 | surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including, | ||||||
23 | but not limited
to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, | ||||||
24 | depressions, loose paving material,
and weeds protruding | ||||||
25 | through paved surfaces.
| ||||||
26 | (4) Presence of structures below minimum code |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | standards. All structures
that do not meet the standards of | ||||||
2 | zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
other | ||||||
3 | governmental codes applicable to property, but not | ||||||
4 | including housing and
property maintenance codes.
| ||||||
5 | (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of | ||||||
6 | structures in
violation of applicable federal, State, or | ||||||
7 | local laws, exclusive of those
applicable to the presence | ||||||
8 | of structures below minimum code standards.
| ||||||
9 | (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of
buildings | ||||||
10 | that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an | ||||||
11 | adverse
influence on the area because of the frequency, | ||||||
12 | extent, or duration of the
vacancies.
| ||||||
13 | (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary | ||||||
14 | facilities. The absence of
adequate ventilation for light | ||||||
15 | or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
windows, or | ||||||
16 | that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or | ||||||
17 | other
noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light | ||||||
18 | and ventilation means
the absence or inadequacy of | ||||||
19 | skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms
and | ||||||
20 | improper
window sizes and amounts by room area to window | ||||||
21 | area ratios. Inadequate
sanitary facilities refers to the | ||||||
22 | absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and
enclosure,
| ||||||
23 | bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and | ||||||
24 | structural inadequacies
preventing ingress and egress to | ||||||
25 | and from all rooms and units within a
building.
| ||||||
26 | (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | utilities
such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary | ||||||
2 | sewers, water lines, and gas,
telephone, and
electrical | ||||||
3 | services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate | ||||||
4 | utilities are
those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity | ||||||
5 | to serve the uses in the
redevelopment project area, (ii) | ||||||
6 | deteriorated,
antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or | ||||||
7 | (iii) lacking within the
redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
8 | (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of | ||||||
9 | structures and community
facilities. The over-intensive | ||||||
10 | use of property and the crowding of buildings
and accessory | ||||||
11 | facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
| ||||||
12 | warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting | ||||||
13 | excessive land coverage
are: the presence of buildings | ||||||
14 | either improperly situated on parcels or located
on parcels | ||||||
15 | of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day | ||||||
16 | standards of
development for health and safety and the | ||||||
17 | presence of multiple buildings on a
single parcel. For | ||||||
18 | there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
these | ||||||
19 | parcels must exhibit one or more of the following | ||||||
20 | conditions:
insufficient provision for
light and air | ||||||
21 | within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of | ||||||
22 | fire
due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of | ||||||
23 | adequate or proper access to a
public right-of-way, lack of | ||||||
24 | reasonably required off-street parking, or
inadequate | ||||||
25 | provision for loading and service.
| ||||||
26 | (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | incompatible
land-use
relationships, buildings occupied by | ||||||
2 | inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
considered to be | ||||||
3 | noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the
surrounding | ||||||
4 | area.
| ||||||
5 | (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed | ||||||
6 | redevelopment project area
was
developed prior to or | ||||||
7 | without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
This | ||||||
8 | means that the development occurred prior to the adoption | ||||||
9 | by the
municipality of a comprehensive or other community | ||||||
10 | plan or that the plan was
not followed at the time of the | ||||||
11 | area's development. This factor must be
documented by | ||||||
12 | evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use | ||||||
13 | relationships,
inadequate street layout, improper | ||||||
14 | subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
size to meet | ||||||
15 | contemporary development standards, or other evidence
| ||||||
16 | demonstrating
an absence of effective community planning.
| ||||||
17 | (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental | ||||||
18 | Protection Agency or
United
States Environmental | ||||||
19 | Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
| ||||||
20 | conducted by an independent consultant recognized as | ||||||
21 | having expertise in
environmental remediation has | ||||||
22 | determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
waste, | ||||||
23 | hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks | ||||||
24 | required by State
or federal law, provided that the | ||||||
25 | remediation costs constitute a material
impediment to the | ||||||
26 | development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | area.
| ||||||
2 | (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed | ||||||
3 | redevelopment
project area has declined for 3 of the last 5 | ||||||
4 | calendar years
for which information is
available or is | ||||||
5 | increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance | ||||||
6 | of
the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for | ||||||
7 | which information is
available or is increasing at an | ||||||
8 | annual rate that is less
than the Consumer Price Index for | ||||||
9 | All Urban Consumers published by the United
States | ||||||
10 | Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5 | ||||||
11 | calendar
years for which information is available.
| ||||||
12 | (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or | ||||||
13 | conservation
area suitable for use by any manufacturing, | ||||||
14 | industrial, research or
transportation enterprise, of | ||||||
15 | facilities to include but not be limited to
factories, mills, | ||||||
16 | processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants,
| ||||||
17 | fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers, | ||||||
18 | warehouses, repair
overhaul or service facilities, freight | ||||||
19 | terminals, research facilities,
test facilities or railroad | ||||||
20 | facilities.
| ||||||
21 | (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area | ||||||
22 | within the
boundaries of a redevelopment project area located | ||||||
23 | within the territorial
limits of a municipality that is a labor | ||||||
24 | surplus municipality or within 1
1/2 miles of the territorial | ||||||
25 | limits of a municipality that is a labor
surplus municipality | ||||||
26 | if the area is annexed to the municipality; which
area is zoned |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as industrial no later than at the time the municipality by
| ||||||
2 | ordinance designates the redevelopment project area, and which | ||||||
3 | area
includes both vacant land suitable for use as an | ||||||
4 | industrial park and a
blighted area or conservation area | ||||||
5 | contiguous to such vacant land.
| ||||||
6 | (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in | ||||||
7 | which, at any
time during the 6 months before the municipality | ||||||
8 | by ordinance designates
an industrial park conservation area, | ||||||
9 | the unemployment rate was over 6% and was
also 100% or more of | ||||||
10 | the national average unemployment rate for that same
time as | ||||||
11 | published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of | ||||||
12 | Labor
Statistics publication entitled "The Employment | ||||||
13 | Situation" or its successor
publication. For the purpose of | ||||||
14 | this subsection, if unemployment rate
statistics for the | ||||||
15 | municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in
the | ||||||
16 | municipality shall be deemed to be the same as the unemployment | ||||||
17 | rate in
the principal county in which the municipality is | ||||||
18 | located.
| ||||||
19 | (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village, | ||||||
20 | incorporated town, or a township that is located in the | ||||||
21 | unincorporated portion of a county with 3 million or more | ||||||
22 | inhabitants, if the county adopted an ordinance that approved | ||||||
23 | the township's redevelopment plan.
| ||||||
24 | (g) "Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount of taxes | ||||||
25 | paid under
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act, | ||||||
26 | Service Use Tax Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
and the Municipal | ||||||
2 | Service Occupation Tax Act by
retailers and servicemen on | ||||||
3 | transactions at places located in a
State Sales Tax Boundary | ||||||
4 | during the calendar year 1985.
| ||||||
5 | (g-1) "Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount | ||||||
6 | of taxes paid
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax | ||||||
7 | Act, Service Use Tax Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act, the | ||||||
8 | Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
and the Municipal | ||||||
9 | Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen on
| ||||||
10 | transactions at places located within the State Sales Tax | ||||||
11 | Boundary
revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) of this Act.
| ||||||
12 | (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal | ||||||
13 | to the
increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid to a | ||||||
14 | municipality from the
Local Government Tax Fund arising from | ||||||
15 | sales by retailers and servicemen
within the redevelopment | ||||||
16 | project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as
the case may be, | ||||||
17 | for as long as the redevelopment project area or State
Sales | ||||||
18 | Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist over and above the | ||||||
19 | aggregate
amount of taxes as certified by the Illinois | ||||||
20 | Department of Revenue and paid
under the Municipal Retailers' | ||||||
21 | Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service
Occupation Tax Act | ||||||
22 | by retailers and servicemen, on transactions at places
of | ||||||
23 | business located in the redevelopment project area or State | ||||||
24 | Sales Tax
Boundary, as the case may be, during the
base year | ||||||
25 | which shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year | ||||||
26 | in
which the municipality adopted tax increment allocation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | financing. For
purposes of computing the aggregate amount of | ||||||
2 | such taxes for base years
occurring prior to 1985, the | ||||||
3 | Department of Revenue shall determine the
Initial Sales Tax | ||||||
4 | Amounts for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount
equal to | ||||||
5 | 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the
| ||||||
6 | base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction | ||||||
7 | of 12%.
The amount so determined shall be known as the | ||||||
8 | "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
Amounts". For purposes of | ||||||
9 | determining the Municipal Sales Tax Increment,
the Department | ||||||
10 | of Revenue shall for each period subtract from the amount
paid | ||||||
11 | to the municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising | ||||||
12 | from
sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions
located | ||||||
13 | in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax | ||||||
14 | Boundary,
as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
| ||||||
15 | Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised | ||||||
16 | Initial
Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
| ||||||
17 | Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service
Occupation Tax | ||||||
18 | Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall
be | ||||||
19 | made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax | ||||||
20 | amounts
received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this | ||||||
21 | calculation shall be made
by utilizing the period from January | ||||||
22 | 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to
determine the tax amounts | ||||||
23 | received from retailers and servicemen pursuant
to the | ||||||
24 | Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
| ||||||
25 | Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
| ||||||
26 | nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Adjusted Initial
Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales | ||||||
2 | Tax Amounts as appropriate.
For the State Fiscal Year 1991, | ||||||
3 | this calculation shall be made by utilizing
the period from | ||||||
4 | October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax
amounts | ||||||
5 | received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the | ||||||
6 | Municipal
Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service | ||||||
7 | Occupation Tax Act
which shall have deducted therefrom | ||||||
8 | nine-twelfths of the
certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, | ||||||
9 | Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales | ||||||
10 | Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every
State Fiscal Year | ||||||
11 | thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
| ||||||
12 | beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax | ||||||
13 | amounts received
which shall have deducted therefrom the | ||||||
14 | certified Initial Sales Tax
Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales | ||||||
15 | Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial
Sales Tax Amounts, as the | ||||||
16 | case may be.
| ||||||
17 | (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the | ||||||
18 | following: (a)
80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax | ||||||
19 | Increment annually generated
within a State Sales Tax Boundary; | ||||||
20 | (b) 60% of the amount in excess of
$100,000 but not exceeding | ||||||
21 | $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
generated within | ||||||
22 | a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
| ||||||
23 | excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually | ||||||
24 | generated within a
State Sales Tax Boundary. If, however, a | ||||||
25 | municipality established a tax
increment financing district in | ||||||
26 | a county with a population in excess of
3,000,000 before |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a
contract | ||||||
2 | or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before December 31, | ||||||
3 | 1986,
to finance redevelopment project costs within a State | ||||||
4 | Sales Tax
Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment | ||||||
5 | means, for the fiscal years
beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1, | ||||||
6 | 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax
Increment annually generated | ||||||
7 | within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and
notwithstanding any | ||||||
8 | other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the
| ||||||
9 | Department of Revenue shall distribute to those municipalities | ||||||
10 | 100% of
their Net State Sales Tax Increment before any | ||||||
11 | distribution to any other
municipality and regardless of | ||||||
12 | whether or not those other municipalities
will receive 100% of | ||||||
13 | their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For Fiscal Year
1999, and | ||||||
14 | every year thereafter until the year 2007, for any municipality
| ||||||
15 | that has not entered into a contract or has not issued bonds | ||||||
16 | prior to June
1, 1988 to finance redevelopment project costs | ||||||
17 | within a State Sales Tax
Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax | ||||||
18 | Increment shall be calculated as follows:
By multiplying the | ||||||
19 | Net State Sales Tax Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal
Year | ||||||
20 | 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State | ||||||
21 | Fiscal Year
2001; 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the | ||||||
22 | State Fiscal Year 2003; 40%
in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% | ||||||
23 | in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in
the State Fiscal Year | ||||||
24 | 2006; and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No
payment shall | ||||||
25 | be made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
| ||||||
26 | Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | redevelopment project
in a redevelopment project area within | ||||||
2 | the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to
July 29, 1991,
or that | ||||||
3 | entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment | ||||||
4 | project in
a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
| ||||||
5 | shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
| ||||||
6 | Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on | ||||||
7 | which the
redevelopment project is completed or terminated.
If, | ||||||
8 | however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection with a
| ||||||
9 | redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within | ||||||
10 | the State Sales
Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the | ||||||
11 | bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or
a municipality that entered | ||||||
12 | into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
project in a | ||||||
13 | redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
| ||||||
14 | contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the | ||||||
15 | redevelopment project is
not
completed or is not terminated, | ||||||
16 | the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be
calculated, | ||||||
17 | beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the
| ||||||
18 | contracts are completed, as follows: By multiplying the Net | ||||||
19 | State Sales Tax
Increment by 60% in the State Fiscal Year
2002; | ||||||
20 | 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year | ||||||
21 | 2004; 30%
in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State | ||||||
22 | Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in
the State Fiscal Year 2007. No | ||||||
23 | payment shall be made for State Fiscal Year
2008 and | ||||||
24 | thereafter.
Refunding of any bonds issued
prior to July 29, | ||||||
25 | 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax Increment.
| ||||||
26 | (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equal to the
aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax | ||||||
2 | charges imposed on owners
and tenants, other than residential | ||||||
3 | customers, of properties located within
the redevelopment | ||||||
4 | project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities
Act, | ||||||
5 | over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by | ||||||
6 | the
Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants, other | ||||||
7 | than
residential customers, of properties within the | ||||||
8 | redevelopment project area
during the base year, which shall be | ||||||
9 | the calendar year immediately prior to
the year of the adoption | ||||||
10 | of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
| ||||||
11 | financing.
| ||||||
12 | (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the | ||||||
13 | following:
(a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax | ||||||
14 | Increment annually
generated by a redevelopment project area; | ||||||
15 | (b) 60% of the amount in excess
of $100,000 but not exceeding | ||||||
16 | $500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment
annually generated | ||||||
17 | by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all
amounts in | ||||||
18 | excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
| ||||||
19 | generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State Fiscal | ||||||
20 | Year 1999,
and every year thereafter until the year 2007, for | ||||||
21 | any municipality that
has not entered into a contract or has | ||||||
22 | not issued bonds prior to June 1,
1988 to finance redevelopment | ||||||
23 | project costs within a redevelopment project
area, the Net | ||||||
24 | State Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows:
By | ||||||
25 | multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in the | ||||||
26 | State
Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% |
| |||||||

4 | State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State
Fiscal Year 2007. | ||||||
5 | No payment shall be made for the State Fiscal Year 2008
and | ||||||
6 | thereafter.
| ||||||
7 | Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the | ||||||
8 | redevelopment project
during the period from June 1, 1988 until | ||||||
9 | 3 years after the effective date
of this Amendatory Act of 1988 | ||||||
10 | shall receive the Net State Utility Tax
Increment, subject to | ||||||
11 | appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the
issuance of | ||||||
12 | such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State Fiscal Years
| ||||||
13 | after issuance of the bonds, the Net State Utility Tax | ||||||
14 | Increment shall be
calculated as follows: By multiplying the | ||||||
15 | Net State Utility Tax Increment
by 90% in year 16; 80% in year | ||||||
16 | 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50%
in year 20. | ||||||
17 | Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June 1, 1988, shall not
| ||||||
18 | alter the revised Net State Utility Tax Increment payments set | ||||||
19 | forth above.
| ||||||
20 | (l) "Obligations" mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes, | ||||||
21 | special certificates

| ||||||
24 | (m) "Payment in lieu of taxes" means those estimated tax | ||||||
25 | revenues from
real property in a redevelopment project area | ||||||
26 | derived from real property that
has been acquired by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality
which according to the redevelopment project or | ||||||
2 | plan is to be used for a
private use which taxing districts | ||||||
3 | would have received had a municipality
not acquired the real | ||||||
4 | property and adopted tax increment allocation
financing and | ||||||
5 | which would result from
levies made after the time of the | ||||||
6 | adoption of tax increment allocation
financing to the time the | ||||||
7 | current equalized value of real property in the
redevelopment | ||||||
8 | project area exceeds the total initial equalized value of
real | ||||||
9 | property in said area.
| ||||||
10 | (n) "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program | ||||||
11 | of
the municipality for development or redevelopment intended | ||||||
12 | by the payment of
redevelopment project costs to reduce or | ||||||
13 | eliminate those conditions the
existence of which qualified the | ||||||
14 | redevelopment project area as
a "blighted
area" or | ||||||
15 | "conservation area" or combination thereof or "industrial park
| ||||||
16 | conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the | ||||||
17 | taxing
districts which extend into the redevelopment project | ||||||
18 | area.
On and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
| ||||||
19 | Public Act 91-478), no
redevelopment plan may be approved or | ||||||
20 | amended that includes the development of
vacant land (i) with a | ||||||
21 | golf course and related clubhouse and other facilities
or (ii) | ||||||

23 | as public
land for outdoor recreational activities or for | ||||||

25 | to the adoption of the redevelopment plan. For the purpose of
| ||||||
26 | this subsection, "recreational activities" is limited to mean |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | camping and
hunting.
Each
redevelopment plan shall set forth in | ||||||

23 | affirmative action
plan;
| ||||||
24 | (I) if it concerns an industrial park
conservation | ||||||
25 | area, the plan shall
also include a general description
of | ||||||
26 | any proposed developer, user and tenant of any property, a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | description
of the type, structure and general character of | ||||||
2 | the facilities to be
developed, a description of the type, | ||||||
3 | class and number of new employees to
be employed in the | ||||||
4 | operation of the facilities to be developed; and
| ||||||
5 | (J) if property is to be annexed to the municipality, | ||||||
6 | the plan shall

| ||||||
8 | The provisions of items (B) and (C) of this subsection (n) | ||||||
9 | shall not apply to
a municipality that before March 14, 1994 | ||||||
10 | (the effective date of Public Act
88-537) had fixed, either by | ||||||
11 | its
corporate authorities or by a commission designated under | ||||||
12 | subsection (k) of
Section 11-74.4-4, a time and place for a | ||||||
13 | public hearing as required by
subsection (a) of Section | ||||||
14 | 11-74.4-5.
No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
| ||||||
15 | municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
| ||||||
16 | (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment | ||||||
17 | project area on
the whole has not been subject to growth | ||||||
18 | and development through investment
by private enterprise | ||||||
19 | and would not reasonably be anticipated to be
developed | ||||||
20 | without the adoption of the redevelopment plan.
| ||||||
21 | (2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan | ||||||
22 | and project conform
to the comprehensive plan for the | ||||||
23 | development of the municipality as a whole,
or, for | ||||||
24 | municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more, | ||||||
25 | regardless of when
the redevelopment plan and project was | ||||||
26 | adopted, the redevelopment plan and
project either: (i) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | conforms to the strategic economic development or
| ||||||
2 | redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning | ||||||
3 | authority of the
municipality, or (ii) includes land uses | ||||||
4 | that have been approved by the
planning commission of the | ||||||
5 | municipality.
| ||||||
6 | (3) The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated | ||||||
7 | dates of completion
of the redevelopment project and | ||||||
8 | retirement of obligations issued to finance
redevelopment | ||||||
9 | project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates | ||||||
10 | set forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
| ||||||
11 | A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an | ||||||
12 | existing redevelopment
plan to conform to this paragraph | ||||||
13 | (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which
municipal | ||||||
14 | ordinance may be adopted without
further hearing or
notice | ||||||
15 | and without complying with the procedures provided in this | ||||||
16 | Act
pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval | ||||||
17 | of a redevelopment plan
and project and
designation of a | ||||||
18 | redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
19 | (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an | ||||||
20 | industrial
park
conservation area, also that the | ||||||
21 | municipality is a labor surplus municipality
and that the | ||||||
22 | implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce | ||||||
23 | unemployment,
create new jobs and by the provision of new | ||||||
24 | facilities enhance the tax base of
the taxing districts | ||||||
25 | that extend into the redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
26 | (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under
Section 8(a)(1)
or 8(a)(2) of this Act in | ||||||
2 | redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance
after | ||||||
3 | January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the | ||||||
4 | redevelopment
project area would not reasonably be | ||||||
5 | developed without the use of such
incremental revenues, and | ||||||
6 | (b) that such incremental revenues will be
exclusively | ||||||
7 | utilized for the development of the redevelopment project | ||||||
8 | area.
| ||||||
9 | (5) If
the redevelopment plan will not result in
| ||||||
10 | displacement of
residents from 10 or more inhabited | ||||||
11 | residential units, and the
municipality certifies in the | ||||||
12 | plan that
such displacement will not result from the plan, | ||||||
13 | a housing impact study
need not be performed.
If, however, | ||||||
14 | the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement
of
| ||||||
15 | residents from 10 or more inhabited
residential units,
or | ||||||
16 | if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more | ||||||
17 | inhabited residential
units and no
certification is made,
| ||||||
18 | then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the | ||||||
19 | separate
feasibility report required by subsection (a) of | ||||||
20 | Section 11-74.4-5, a housing
impact study.
| ||||||
21 | Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i) | ||||||
22 | data as to whether
the residential units are single family | ||||||
23 | or multi-family units,
(ii) the number and type of rooms | ||||||
24 | within the units, if that information is
available, (iii) | ||||||
25 | whether
the
units are inhabited or uninhabited, as | ||||||
26 | determined not less than 45
days before the date that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordinance or resolution required
by subsection (a) of | ||||||
2 | Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the
racial | ||||||
3 | and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited | ||||||
4 | residential
units. The data requirement as to the racial | ||||||
5 | and ethnic composition of the
residents in the inhabited | ||||||
6 | residential units shall be deemed to be fully
satisfied by | ||||||
7 | data from the most recent federal census.
| ||||||
8 | Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the | ||||||
9 | inhabited
residential units in the proposed redevelopment | ||||||
10 | project area that are to be or
may be removed. If inhabited | ||||||
11 | residential units are to be removed, then the
housing | ||||||
12 | impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of | ||||||
13 | those units
that will or may be removed, (ii) the | ||||||
14 | municipality's plans for relocation
assistance for those | ||||||
15 | residents in the proposed redevelopment project area

incorporated in | ||||||
23 | the redevelopment plan for the
redevelopment project area.
| ||||||
24 | (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no
redevelopment | ||||||
25 | plan shall be adopted, nor an
existing plan amended, nor | ||||||
26 | shall residential housing that is
occupied by households of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | low-income and very low-income
persons in currently | ||||||
2 | existing redevelopment project
areas be removed after | ||||||
3 | November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides, | ||||||
4 | with
respect to inhabited housing units that are to be | ||||||
5 | removed for
households of low-income and very low-income | ||||||
6 | persons, affordable
housing and relocation assistance not | ||||||
7 | less than that which would
be provided under the federal | ||||||
8 | Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property | ||||||
9 | Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations
under | ||||||
10 | that Act, including the eligibility criteria.
Affordable | ||||||
11 | housing may be either existing or newly constructed
| ||||||
12 | housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
| ||||||
13 | households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
| ||||||

16 | faith effort to ensure that this affordable
housing is | ||||||
17 | located in or near the redevelopment project area within | ||||||
18 | the
municipality.
| ||||||
19 | (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if,
after the | ||||||
20 | adoption of the redevelopment plan for the
redevelopment | ||||||
21 | project area, any municipality desires to amend its
| ||||||
22 | redevelopment plan
to remove more inhabited residential | ||||||
23 | units than
specified in its original redevelopment plan, | ||||||
24 | that change shall be made in
accordance with the procedures | ||||||
25 | in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.

1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended | ||||||
2 | without further joint review board
meeting or hearing, | ||||||
3 | provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
| ||||||
4 | such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and | ||||||

4 | which costs shall be paid by the municipality
from the | ||||||
5 | Special Tax Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue | ||||||

follows:
| ||||||
8 | (A) for foundation districts, excluding any school | ||||||
9 | district in a
municipality with a population in excess | ||||||
10 | of 1,000,000, by multiplying the

of necessary | ||||||
17 | infrastructure improvements within the boundaries of | ||||||
18 | the housing
sites necessary for the completion of that | ||||||
19 | housing as authorized by this Act
since the designation | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | financial assistance through an agreement with the | ||||||
2 | municipality or because the
municipality incurs the | ||||||
3 | cost of necessary infrastructure improvements within
| ||||||
4 | the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the | ||||||
5 | completion of that
housing as authorized by this Act | ||||||
6 | since the designation of the redevelopment
project | ||||||
7 | area by the most recently available per capita tuition | ||||||
8 | cost as defined
in Section 10-20.12a of the School Code | ||||||
9 | less any increase in general state aid
as defined in | ||||||
10 | Section 18-8.05 of the School Code attributable to | ||||||

| ||||||
2 | (C) For any school district in a municipality with | ||||||
3 | a population in
excess of
1,000,000, the following | ||||||
4 | restrictions shall apply to the
reimbursement of | ||||||
5 | increased costs under this paragraph (7.5):
| ||||||
6 | (i) no increased costs shall be reimbursed | ||||||
7 | unless the school district
certifies that each of | ||||||
8 | the schools affected by the assisted housing | ||||||
9 | project
is at or over its student capacity;
| ||||||
10 | (ii) the amount reimbursable shall be reduced | ||||||
11 | by the value of any
land
donated to the school | ||||||
12 | district by the municipality or developer, and by | ||||||
13 | the
value of any physical improvements made to the | ||||||
14 | schools by the
municipality or developer; and
| ||||||
15 | (iii) the amount reimbursed may not affect | ||||||
16 | amounts otherwise obligated
by
the terms of any | ||||||
17 | bonds, notes, or other funding instruments, or the | ||||||
18 | terms of
any redevelopment agreement.
| ||||||
19 | Any school district seeking payment under this | ||||||
20 | paragraph (7.5) shall,
after July 1 and before | ||||||
21 | September 30 of each year,
provide the municipality | ||||||
22 | with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
| ||||||
23 | reimbursement before the municipality shall be | ||||||
24 | required to approve or make
the payment to the school | ||||||
25 | district. If the school district fails to provide
the | ||||||
26 | information during this period in any year, it shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | forfeit any claim to
reimbursement for that year. | ||||||
2 | School districts may adopt a resolution
waiving the | ||||||
3 | right to all or a portion of the reimbursement | ||||||
4 | otherwise required
by this paragraph
(7.5). By | ||||||
5 | acceptance of this reimbursement the school
district | ||||||
6 | waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside, | ||||||
7 | modify, or
contest in any manner the establishment of | ||||||
8 | the redevelopment project area or
projects;
| ||||||
9 | (7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or | ||||||
10 | redevelopment
project areas amended to add or increase the | ||||||
11 | number of
tax-increment-financing assisted housing units) | ||||||
12 | on or after
January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public | ||||||
13 | Act 93-961),
a public library
district's increased costs | ||||||
14 | attributable to assisted housing units located
within the
| ||||||
15 | redevelopment project area for which the developer or | ||||||
16 | redeveloper receives
financial assistance through an | ||||||
17 | agreement with the municipality or because the
| ||||||
18 | municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure | ||||||
19 | improvements within
the boundaries of the assisted housing | ||||||
20 | sites necessary for the completion of
that housing
as | ||||||
21 | authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library | ||||||
22 | district by the
municipality
from the Special Tax | ||||||
23 | Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
| ||||||
24 | as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph | ||||||
25 | (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located | ||||||
26 | in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located | ||||||
2 | in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension | ||||||
3 | Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other | ||||||
4 | law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter | ||||||
5 | referendum.
| ||||||
6 | The amount paid to a library district under this | ||||||
7 | paragraph (7.7) shall be
calculated
by multiplying (i) the | ||||||
8 | net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain
a
| ||||||
9 | library card
in that district who reside in housing units | ||||||
10 | within
the redevelopment project area that have received | ||||||
11 | financial assistance through
an agreement with the | ||||||
12 | municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost
of | ||||||
13 | necessary infrastructure improvements within the | ||||||
14 | boundaries of the housing
sites necessary for the | ||||||
15 | completion of that housing as authorized by this Act
since | ||||||
16 | the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
| ||||||
17 | the per-patron cost of providing library services so long | ||||||
18 | as it does not exceed $120.
The per-patron cost shall be | ||||||
19 | the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in | ||||||
20 | the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics | ||||||
21 | produced by the Library Research Center at the University | ||||||
22 | of Illinois.
The municipality may deduct from the amount | ||||||
23 | that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph | ||||||
24 | any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library | ||||||
25 | district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to | ||||||
26 | a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | more
than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing | ||||||
2 | units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
| ||||||
3 | A library district is not eligible for any payment | ||||||
4 | under this paragraph
(7.7)
unless the library district has | ||||||
5 | experienced an increase in the
number of patrons from the | ||||||
6 | municipality that created the tax-increment-financing | ||||||
7 | district since the designation of the redevelopment | ||||||
8 | project area.
| ||||||
9 | Any library district seeking payment under this | ||||||
10 | paragraph (7.7) shall,
after July 1 and before September 30 | ||||||
11 | of each year,
provide the municipality with convincing | ||||||
12 | evidence to support its claim for
reimbursement before the | ||||||
13 | municipality shall be required to approve or make
the | ||||||
14 | payment to the library district. If the library district | ||||||
15 | fails to provide
the information during this period in any | ||||||
16 | year, it shall forfeit any claim to
reimbursement for that | ||||||
17 | year. Library districts may adopt a resolution
waiving the | ||||||
18 | right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise | ||||||
19 | required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such | ||||||
20 | reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any | ||||||
21 | right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or | ||||||
22 | contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the | ||||||
23 | redevelopment project area or
projects;
| ||||||
24 | (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality | ||||||
25 | determines that
relocation costs shall be paid or is | ||||||
26 | required to make payment of relocation
costs by federal or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
| ||||||
2 | subsection (n);
| ||||||
3 | (9) Payment in lieu of taxes;
| ||||||
4 | (10) Costs of job training, retraining, advanced | ||||||
5 | vocational education
or career
education, including but | ||||||
6 | not limited to courses in occupational,
semi-technical or | ||||||
7 | technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
| ||||||
8 | by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs | ||||||
9 | (i) are related
to the establishment and maintenance of | ||||||
10 | additional job training, advanced
vocational education or | ||||||
11 | career education programs for persons employed or
to be | ||||||
12 | employed by employers located in a redevelopment project | ||||||
13 | area; and
(ii) when incurred by a taxing district or taxing | ||||||
14 | districts other than the
municipality, are set forth in a | ||||||
15 | written agreement by or among the
municipality and the | ||||||
16 | taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
| ||||||
17 | describes the program to be undertaken, including but not | ||||||
18 | limited to the
number of employees to be trained, a | ||||||
19 | description of the training and
services to be provided, | ||||||
20 | the number and type of positions available or to
be | ||||||
21 | available, itemized costs of the program and sources of | ||||||
22 | funds to pay for the
same, and the term of the agreement. | ||||||
23 | Such costs include, specifically, the
payment by community | ||||||
24 | college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37,
3-38, | ||||||
25 | 3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by | ||||||
26 | school
districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and 10-23.3a of The School
Code;
| ||||||
2 | (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related to | ||||||
3 | the
construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a | ||||||
4 | redevelopment project
provided that:
| ||||||
5 | (A) such costs are to be paid directly from the | ||||||
6 | special tax
allocation fund established pursuant to | ||||||
7 | this Act;
| ||||||
8 | (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed | ||||||
9 | 30% of the annual
interest costs incurred by the | ||||||
10 | redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment
project | ||||||
11 | during that year;
| ||||||
12 | (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in | ||||||
13 | the special tax
allocation fund to make the payment | ||||||
14 | pursuant to this paragraph (11) then
the amounts so due | ||||||
15 | shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
| ||||||
16 | available in the special tax allocation fund;
| ||||||
17 | (D) the total of such interest payments paid | ||||||
18 | pursuant to this Act
may not exceed 30% of the total | ||||||
19 | (i) cost paid or incurred by the
redeveloper for the | ||||||
20 | redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
| ||||||
21 | costs excluding any property assembly costs and any | ||||||
22 | relocation costs
incurred by a municipality pursuant | ||||||
23 | to this Act; and
| ||||||
24 | (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B) | ||||||
25 | and (D) of
paragraph (11) shall be modified for the | ||||||
26 | financing of rehabilitated or
new housing units for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | low-income households and very low-income households, | ||||||
2 | as
defined in
Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable | ||||||
3 | Housing Act. The percentage of
75% shall be substituted | ||||||
4 | for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of
paragraph (11).
| ||||||
5 | (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by | ||||||
6 | subparagraphs (B) and (D)
of
paragraph (11), as | ||||||
7 | modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding
any | ||||||
8 | other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the | ||||||
9 | municipality may
pay from tax increment revenues up to | ||||||
10 | 50% of the cost of construction
of new housing units to | ||||||
11 | be occupied by low-income households and very
| ||||||
12 | low-income
households as defined in Section 3 of the | ||||||
13 | Illinois Affordable Housing
Act. The cost of | ||||||
14 | construction of those units may be derived from the
| ||||||
15 | proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this | ||||||
16 | Act or
other constitutional or statutory authority or | ||||||
17 | from other sources of
municipal revenue that may be | ||||||
18 | reimbursed from tax increment
revenues or the proceeds | ||||||
19 | of bonds issued to finance the construction
of that | ||||||
20 | housing.
| ||||||
21 | The eligible costs provided under this | ||||||
22 | subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11)
shall
be
an eligible | ||||||
23 | cost for the construction, renovation, and | ||||||
24 | rehabilitation of all
low and very low-income housing | ||||||
25 | units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
| ||||||
26 | Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | project area. If the low and
very
low-income units are | ||||||
2 | part of a residential redevelopment project that | ||||||
3 | includes
units not affordable to low and very | ||||||
4 | low-income households, only the low and
very | ||||||
5 | low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under | ||||||
6 | subparagraph (F) of
paragraph (11).
The standards for | ||||||
7 | maintaining the occupancy
by low-income households and | ||||||
8 | very low-income households,
as
defined in Section 3 of | ||||||
9 | the Illinois Affordable Housing Act,
of those units | ||||||
10 | constructed with eligible costs made available under | ||||||
11 | the
provisions of
this subparagraph (F) of paragraph | ||||||
12 | (11)
shall be
established by guidelines adopted by the | ||||||
13 | municipality. The
responsibility for annually | ||||||
14 | documenting the initial occupancy of
the units by | ||||||
15 | low-income households and very low-income households, | ||||||
16 | as defined
in
Section 3
of the Illinois Affordable | ||||||
17 | Housing Act, shall be that of the then current
owner of | ||||||
18 | the property.
For ownership units, the guidelines will | ||||||
19 | provide, at a minimum, for a
reasonable recapture of | ||||||
20 | funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
| ||||||
21 | preserve the original affordability of the ownership | ||||||
22 | units. For rental units,
the guidelines will provide, | ||||||
23 | at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low
and | ||||||
24 | very low-income households. As units become available, | ||||||
25 | they shall be
rented to income-eligible tenants.
The | ||||||
26 | municipality may modify these
guidelines from time to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect
for | ||||||
2 | as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay | ||||||
3 | for costs
associated with the units or for the | ||||||
4 | retirement of bonds issued to finance
the units or for | ||||||
5 | the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever | ||||||
6 | is
later.
| ||||||
7 | (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located | ||||||
8 | within a municipality
with a population of more than | ||||||
9 | 100,000, the cost of day care services for
children of | ||||||
10 | employees from
low-income
families working for businesses | ||||||
11 | located within the redevelopment project area
and all or a
| ||||||
12 | portion of the cost of operation of day care centers | ||||||
13 | established by
redevelopment project
area businesses to | ||||||
14 | serve employees from low-income families working in
| ||||||
15 | businesses
located in the redevelopment project area. For | ||||||
16 | the purposes of this paragraph,
"low-income families" | ||||||
17 | means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
| ||||||
18 | the
municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted | ||||||
19 | for family size, as the
annual
income and municipal, | ||||||
20 | county, or regional median income are determined from
time | ||||||
21 | to
time by the United States Department of Housing and | ||||||
22 | Urban Development.
| ||||||
23 | (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of | ||||||
24 | construction of new
privately-owned buildings shall not be | ||||||
25 | an eligible redevelopment project cost.
| ||||||
26 | (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Public Act
91-478), none of
the
redevelopment project costs | ||||||
2 | enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
| ||||||
3 | redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide | ||||||
4 | direct financial
support to a
retail entity initiating | ||||||
5 | operations in the
redevelopment project area while
| ||||||
6 | terminating operations at another Illinois location within | ||||||
7 | 10 miles of the
redevelopment project area but outside the | ||||||
8 | boundaries of the redevelopment
project area municipality. | ||||||
9 | For
purposes of this paragraph, termination means a
closing | ||||||
10 | of a retail operation that is directly related to the | ||||||
11 | opening of the
same operation or like retail entity owned | ||||||
12 | or operated by more than 50% of the
original ownership in a | ||||||
13 | redevelopment project area, but
it does not mean
closing an | ||||||
14 | operation for reasons beyond the control of the
retail | ||||||
15 | entity, as
documented by the retail entity, subject to a | ||||||
16 | reasonable finding by the
municipality that the current | ||||||
17 | location contained inadequate space, had become
| ||||||
18 | economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location | ||||||
19 | for the retailer or
serviceman.
| ||||||
20 | (14) No cost shall be a redevelopment project cost in a | ||||||
21 | redevelopment project area if used to demolish, remove, or | ||||||
22 | substantially modify a historic resource, after August 26, | ||||||
23 | 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-934), unless no | ||||||
24 | prudent and feasible alternative exists. "Historic | ||||||
25 | resource" for the purpose of this item (14) means (i) a | ||||||
26 | place or structure that is included or eligible for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places or | ||||||
2 | (ii) a contributing structure in a district on the National | ||||||
3 | Register of Historic Places. This item (14) does not apply | ||||||
4 | to a place or structure for which demolition, removal, or | ||||||
5 | modification is subject to review by the preservation | ||||||
6 | agency of a Certified Local Government designated as such | ||||||
7 | by the National Park Service of the United States | ||||||
8 | Department of the Interior. | ||||||
9 | If a special service area has been established pursuant to
| ||||||
10 | the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax | ||||||
11 | Law, then any
tax increment revenues derived
from the tax | ||||||
12 | imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
| ||||||
13 | Service Area Tax Law may
be used within the redevelopment | ||||||
14 | project area for the purposes permitted by
that Act or Law as | ||||||
15 | well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
| ||||||
16 | (q-1) For redevelopment project areas created pursuant to | ||||||
17 | subsection (p-1), " redevelopment project costs " are limited to | ||||||
18 | those costs in paragraph (q) that are related to the existing | ||||||
19 | or proposed Regional Transportation Authority Suburban Transit | ||||||
20 | Access Route (STAR Line) station. | ||||||
21 | (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment | ||||||
22 | project area or
the amended redevelopment project area | ||||||
23 | boundaries which are determined
pursuant to subsection (9) of | ||||||
24 | Section 11-74.4-8a of this
Act. The Department of Revenue shall | ||||||
25 | certify pursuant to subsection (9) of
Section 11-74.4-8a the | ||||||
26 | appropriate boundaries eligible for the
determination of State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sales Tax Increment.
| ||||||
2 | (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to | ||||||
3 | the increase
in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by retailers | ||||||
4 | and servicemen, other
than retailers and servicemen subject to | ||||||
5 | the Public Utilities Act,
on transactions at places of business | ||||||
6 | located within a State Sales Tax
Boundary pursuant to the | ||||||
7 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
the Service Use | ||||||
8 | Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
| ||||||
9 | portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local | ||||||
10 | Sales Tax
Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund, | ||||||
11 | the Local
Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit | ||||||
12 | District Fund, for as
long as State participation exists, over | ||||||
13 | and above the Initial Sales Tax
Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales | ||||||
14 | Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
Tax Amounts for such | ||||||
15 | taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and
paid under | ||||||
16 | those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at | ||||||
17 | places
of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary | ||||||
18 | during the base
year which shall be the calendar year | ||||||
19 | immediately prior to the year in
which the municipality adopted | ||||||
20 | tax increment allocation financing, less
3.0% of such amounts | ||||||
21 | generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use
Tax Act | ||||||
22 | and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act, | ||||||
23 | which
sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to | ||||||
24 | cover its costs
of administering and enforcing this Section. | ||||||
25 | For purposes of computing the
aggregate amount of such taxes | ||||||
26 | for base years occurring prior to 1985, the
Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
| ||||||
2 | taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the | ||||||
3 | aggregate amount of
taxes per year for each year the base year | ||||||
4 | is prior to 1985, but not to
exceed a total deduction of 12%. | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted | ||||||
20 | therefrom
nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax | ||||||
21 | Amounts, Adjusted Initial
Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised | ||||||
22 | Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate.
For the State Fiscal | ||||||
23 | Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing
the | ||||||
24 | period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine | ||||||
25 | the tax
amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which | ||||||
26 | shall have
deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Initial State Sales Tax
Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax | ||||||
2 | Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales
Tax Amounts as | ||||||
3 | appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
| ||||||
4 | applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and | ||||||
5 | ending on
June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which | ||||||
6 | shall have deducted
therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax | ||||||
7 | Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
Tax Amounts or the Revised | ||||||
8 | Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities
intending to receive | ||||||

| ||||||
5 | Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax | ||||||
6 | allocation fund
set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the | ||||||
7 | redevelopment project area may be
issued to provide for | ||||||
8 | redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when
so issued, | ||||||
9 | shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
| ||||||
10 | authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of | ||||||
11 | taxes
levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the | ||||||
12 | taxable property
included in the area, by revenues as specified | ||||||
13 | by Section 11-74.4-8a and
other revenue designated by the | ||||||
14 | municipality. A municipality may in the
ordinance pledge all or | ||||||
15 | any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the
special tax | ||||||
16 | allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
| ||||||
17 | payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any | ||||||
18 | pledge of
funds in the special tax allocation fund shall | ||||||
19 | provide for distribution to
the taxing districts and to the | ||||||
20 | Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys
not required, pledged, | ||||||
21 | earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and
securing of | ||||||
22 | the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs | ||||||
23 | and
such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed | ||||||
24 | to be "surplus"
funds. In the event a municipality only applies | ||||||
25 | or pledges a portion of the
funds in the special tax allocation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fund for the payment or securing of
anticipated redevelopment | ||||||
2 | project costs or of obligations, any such funds
remaining in | ||||||
3 | the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
| ||||||
4 | requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be | ||||||
5 | calculated annually
and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus | ||||||
6 | funds in the special tax allocation
fund shall be distributed | ||||||
7 | annually within 180 days after the close of the
municipality's | ||||||
8 | fiscal year by being paid by the
municipal treasurer to the | ||||||
9 | County Collector, to the Department of Revenue
and to the | ||||||
10 | municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental | ||||||
11 | revenue
received as a result of an increase in the equalized | ||||||
12 | assessed value of
property in the redevelopment project area, | ||||||
13 | tax incremental revenue
received from the State and tax | ||||||
14 | incremental revenue received from the
municipality, but not to | ||||||
15 | exceed as to each such source the total
incremental revenue | ||||||
16 | received from that source. The County Collector shall
| ||||||
17 | thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing | ||||||
18 | districts in the same
manner and proportion as the most recent | ||||||
19 | distribution by the county
collector to the affected districts | ||||||
20 | of real property taxes from real
property in the redevelopment | ||||||
21 | project area.
| ||||||
22 | Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the | ||||||
23 | municipality may in
addition to obligations secured by the | ||||||
24 | special tax allocation fund pledge
for a period not greater | ||||||
25 | than the term of the obligations towards payment
of such | ||||||
26 | obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | net
revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b) | ||||||
2 | taxes levied and
collected on any or all property in the | ||||||
3 | municipality; (c) the full faith
and credit of the | ||||||
4 | municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
| ||||||
5 | redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated | ||||||
6 | receipts that
the municipality may lawfully pledge.
| ||||||
7 | Such obligations may be issued in one or more series | ||||||
8 | bearing interest at
such rate or rates as the corporate | ||||||
9 | authorities of the municipality shall
determine by ordinance. | ||||||
10 | Such obligations shall bear such date or dates,
mature at such | ||||||
11 | time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
| ||||||
12 | dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration | ||||||
13 | privileges, be executed
in such manner, be payable in such | ||||||
14 | medium of payment at such place or places,
contain such | ||||||
15 | covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
| ||||||
16 | as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to | ||||||
17 | this Act
may be sold at public or private sale at such price as | ||||||
18 | shall be determined
by the corporate authorities of the | ||||||
19 | municipalities. No referendum approval
of the electors shall be | ||||||
20 | required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
pursuant | ||||||
21 | to this Division except as provided in this Section.
| ||||||
22 | In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of | ||||||
23 | obligations pursuant
to the authority of this Division secured | ||||||
24 | by the full faith and credit of
the municipality, which | ||||||
25 | obligations are other than obligations which may
be issued | ||||||
26 | under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the
Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or | ||||||
2 | (c) of the second
paragraph of this section, the ordinance | ||||||
3 | authorizing the issuance of such
obligations or pledging such | ||||||
4 | taxes shall be published within 10 days after
such ordinance | ||||||
5 | has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
| ||||||
6 | circulation within such municipality. The publication of the | ||||||
7 | ordinance
shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific | ||||||
8 | number of voters
required to sign a petition requesting the | ||||||
9 | question of the issuance of such
obligations or pledging taxes | ||||||
10 | to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time
in which such | ||||||
11 | petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
| ||||||
12 | referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form | ||||||
13 | to any
individual requesting one.
| ||||||
14 | If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as | ||||||
15 | hereinafter provided
in this Section, within 30 days after the | ||||||
16 | publication of the ordinance,
the ordinance shall be in effect. | ||||||
17 | But, if within that 30 day period a petition
is filed with the | ||||||
18 | municipal clerk, signed by electors in the
municipality | ||||||
19 | numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
| ||||||
20 | municipality, asking that the question of issuing
obligations | ||||||
21 | using full faith and credit of the municipality as security
for | ||||||
22 | the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of | ||||||
23 | pledging taxes
for the payment of such obligations, or both, be | ||||||
24 | submitted to the electors
of the municipality, the corporate | ||||||
25 | authorities of the municipality shall
call a special election | ||||||
26 | in the manner provided by law to vote upon that
question, or, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
| ||||||
2 | a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date | ||||||
3 | such petition
is filed, shall submit the question at the next | ||||||
4 | general, State or municipal
election. If it appears upon the | ||||||
5 | canvass of the election by the corporate
authorities that a | ||||||
6 | majority of electors voting upon the question voted in
favor | ||||||
7 | thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of | ||||||
8 | the
electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof, | ||||||
9 | the ordinance
shall not take effect.
| ||||||
10 | The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that | ||||||
11 | the obligations
shall contain a recital that they are issued | ||||||
12 | pursuant to this Division,
which recital shall be conclusive | ||||||
13 | evidence of their validity and of the
regularity of their | ||||||
14 | issuance.
| ||||||
15 | In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of | ||||||
16 | obligations pursuant
to this Section secured by the full faith | ||||||
17 | and credit of the municipality,
the ordinance authorizing the | ||||||
18 | obligations may provide for the levy and
collection of a direct | ||||||
19 | annual tax upon all taxable property within the
municipality | ||||||
20 | sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon
as | ||||||
21 | it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of | ||||||
22 | the
maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the | ||||||
23 | municipality,
which levy, however, shall be abated to the | ||||||
24 | extent that monies from other
sources are available for payment | ||||||
25 | of the obligations and the municipality
certifies the amount of | ||||||
26 | said monies available to the county clerk.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the | ||||||
2 | county clerk
of each county in which any portion of the | ||||||
3 | municipality is situated, and
shall constitute the authority | ||||||
4 | for the extension and collection of the taxes
to be deposited | ||||||
5 | in the special tax allocation fund.
| ||||||
6 | A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in | ||||||
7 | whole or in
part, obligations theretofore issued by such | ||||||
8 | municipality under the authority
of this Act, whether at or | ||||||
9 | prior to maturity, provided however, that the
last maturity of | ||||||
10 | the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set | ||||||
11 | forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5. , or (NNN) if the ordinance | ||||||
12 | was adopted on December 22, 1986 by the Village of Hoffman | ||||||
13 | Estates
| ||||||
14 | In the event a municipality issues obligations under home | ||||||
15 | rule powers or
other legislative authority the proceeds of | ||||||
16 | which are pledged to pay
for redevelopment project costs, the | ||||||
17 | municipality may, if it has followed
the procedures in | ||||||
18 | conformance with this division, retire said obligations
from | ||||||
19 | funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such | ||||||
20 | manner
as if such obligations had been issued pursuant to the | ||||||
21 | provisions of this
division.
| ||||||
22 | All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to | ||||||
23 | this Act shall
not be regarded as indebtedness of the | ||||||
24 | municipality issuing such obligations
or any other taxing | ||||||
25 | district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.

5 | 22-50, and 34-18.37, and by setting forth, renumbering, and | ||||||
6 | changing multiple versions of Section 10-20.46 as follows:
| ||||||
7 | (105 ILCS 5/2-3.64) (from Ch. 122, par. 2-3.64)
| ||||||
8 | Sec. 2-3.64. State goals and assessment.
| ||||||
9 | (a) Beginning in the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board | ||||||
10 | of Education
shall establish standards and periodically, in | ||||||
11 | collaboration with local school
districts, conduct studies of | ||||||
12 | student performance in the learning areas of fine
arts and | ||||||
13 | physical development/health.
| ||||||
14 | Beginning with the 1998-1999 school
year until the | ||||||
15 | 2004-2005 school year, the State Board of
Education shall | ||||||
16 | annually test: (i) all pupils enrolled
in the 3rd, 5th, and 8th | ||||||
17 | grades in English language arts (reading, writing, and
English | ||||||
18 | grammar) and mathematics; and (ii) all pupils enrolled in the | ||||||
19 | 4th and
7th grades in the biological and physical sciences and | ||||||
20 | the social sciences
(history, geography, civics, economics, | ||||||
21 | and government).
Unless the testing required to be implemented | ||||||
22 | no later than the 2005-2006 school year under this subsection | ||||||
23 | (a) is implemented for the 2004-2005 school year, for the | ||||||
24 | 2004-2005 school year, the State Board of
Education shall test: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) all pupils enrolled
in the 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades in | ||||||
2 | English language arts (reading and
English grammar) and | ||||||
3 | mathematics and (ii) all pupils enrolled in the 4th and
7th | ||||||
4 | grades in the biological and physical sciences. The maximum | ||||||
5 | time allowed for all actual testing required under this
| ||||||
6 | paragraph shall not exceed 25 hours, as allocated among the | ||||||
7 | required
tests by the State Board of Education, across all | ||||||
8 | grades tested.
| ||||||
9 | Beginning no later than the 2005-2006 school year, the | ||||||
10 | State
Board of Education shall annually test: (i) all pupils | ||||||
11 | enrolled in the 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in | ||||||
12 | reading and mathematics
and (ii) all pupils
enrolled in the 4th | ||||||
13 | and 7th grades in the biological and physical
sciences. In | ||||||
14 | addition, the State Board of Education shall test (1) all | ||||||
15 | pupils enrolled in the 5th and 8th grades in writing during the | ||||||
16 | 2006-2007 school year; (2) all pupils enrolled in the 5th, 6th, | ||||||
17 | and 8th grades in writing during the 2007-2008 school year; and | ||||||
18 | (3) all pupils enrolled in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 8th grades in | ||||||
19 | writing during the 2008-2009 school year and each school year | ||||||
20 | thereafter. After the addition of grades and change in subjects | ||||||
21 | as delineated in this paragraph and including whatever other
| ||||||
22 | tests that may be approved from time to time no later than the
| ||||||
23 | 2005-2006 school year, the maximum time allowed for all State | ||||||
24 | testing in
grades 3 through 8 shall not exceed 38 hours across | ||||||
25 | those grades.
| ||||||
26 | Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, the State Board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Education shall not test pupils under this subsection (a) in | ||||||
2 | physical development and health, fine arts, and the social | ||||||
3 | sciences (history, geography, civics, economics, and | ||||||
4 | government). The State Board of Education shall not test pupils | ||||||
5 | under this subsection (a) in writing during the 2005-2006 | ||||||
6 | school year.
| ||||||
7 | The State Board of
Education shall establish the academic | ||||||
8 | standards that are to be applicable to
pupils who are subject | ||||||
9 | to State tests under this Section beginning with the
1998-1999 | ||||||
10 | school year. However, the State Board of Education shall not
| ||||||
11 | establish any such standards in final form without first | ||||||
12 | providing
opportunities for public participation and local | ||||||
13 | input in the development
of the final academic standards. Those | ||||||
14 | opportunities shall include a
well-publicized period of public | ||||||
15 | comment, public hearings throughout the State,
and | ||||||
16 | opportunities to file written comments. Beginning with the | ||||||
17 | 1998-99 school
year and thereafter, the State tests will | ||||||
18 | identify pupils in the 3rd grade or
5th grade who do not meet | ||||||
19 | the State standards.
| ||||||
20 | If, by performance on the State
tests or local assessments | ||||||
21 | or by teacher judgment, a student's performance is
determined | ||||||
22 | to be 2 or more grades below current placement, the student | ||||||
23 | shall be
provided a remediation program developed by the | ||||||
24 | district in consultation with a
parent or guardian. Such | ||||||
25 | remediation programs may include, but shall not be
limited to, | ||||||
26 | increased or concentrated instructional time, a remedial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | summer
school program of not less than 90 hours, improved | ||||||
2 | instructional approaches,
tutorial sessions, retention in | ||||||
3 | grade, and modifications to instructional
materials. Each | ||||||
4 | pupil for whom a remediation program is developed under this
| ||||||
5 | subsection shall be required to enroll in and attend whatever | ||||||
6 | program the
district determines is appropriate for the pupil. | ||||||
7 | Districts may combine
students in remediation programs where | ||||||
8 | appropriate and may cooperate with other
districts in the | ||||||
9 | design and delivery of those programs. The parent or guardian
| ||||||
10 | of a student required to attend a remediation program under | ||||||
11 | this Section shall
be given written notice of that requirement | ||||||
12 | by the school district a reasonable
time prior to commencement | ||||||
13 | of the remediation program that the student is to
attend. The | ||||||
14 | State shall be responsible for providing school districts with | ||||||
15 | the
new and additional funding, under Section 2-3.51.5 or by | ||||||
16 | other or additional
means, that is required to enable the | ||||||
17 | districts to operate remediation programs
for the pupils who | ||||||
18 | are required to enroll in and attend those programs under
this | ||||||
19 | Section. Every individualized educational program as described | ||||||
20 | in Article
14 shall identify if the State test or components | ||||||
21 | thereof are appropriate for
that student. The State Board of | ||||||
22 | Education shall develop rules and
regulations governing the | ||||||
23 | administration of alternative tests prescribed within
each | ||||||
24 | student's individualized educational program which are | ||||||
25 | appropriate to the
disability of each student.
| ||||||
26 | All pupils who are in a State approved
transitional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | bilingual education program or transitional program of | ||||||
2 | instruction
shall participate in the State
tests. The time | ||||||
3 | allotted to take the State tests, however, may be extended as
| ||||||
4 | determined by the State Board of Education by rule. Any student | ||||||
5 | who has been enrolled in a
State approved bilingual education | ||||||
6 | program less than 3 cumulative academic
years may take an | ||||||
7 | accommodated Limited English Proficient student academic | ||||||
8 | content assessment, as determined by the State Board of | ||||||
9 | Education, if the student's lack of English as determined by an | ||||||
10 | English
language
proficiency test would keep the student from | ||||||
11 | understanding the regular
State test. If the
school district | ||||||
12 | determines, on a case-by-case individual basis,
that a Limited | ||||||
13 | English Proficient student academic content assessment would | ||||||
14 | likely yield more accurate and reliable information on
what the | ||||||
15 | student knows and can do, the school district may make a
| ||||||
16 | determination to assess the student using a Limited English | ||||||
17 | Proficient student academic content assessment for a period | ||||||
18 | that does
not exceed 2 additional consecutive years, provided | ||||||
19 | that the student has
not yet reached a level of English | ||||||
20 | language proficiency sufficient to yield
valid and reliable | ||||||
21 | information on what the student knows and can do on
the regular | ||||||
22 | State test.
| ||||||
23 | Reasonable accommodations as prescribed by
the State Board | ||||||
24 | of Education shall be provided for individual students in the
| ||||||
25 | testing procedure. All test procedures prescribed by the State | ||||||
26 | Board of
Education shall require: (i) that each test used for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State and local student
testing under this Section identify by | ||||||
2 | name the pupil taking the test; (ii)
that the name of the pupil | ||||||
3 | taking the test be placed on the test at the time
the test is | ||||||
4 | taken; (iii) that the results or scores of each test taken | ||||||
5 | under
this Section by a pupil of the school district be | ||||||
6 | reported to that district and
identify by name the pupil who | ||||||
7 | received the reported results or scores; and
(iv) that the | ||||||
8 | results or scores of each test taken under this Section be made
| ||||||
9 | available to the parents of the pupil. In addition, in each | ||||||
10 | school year the
scores
attained by
a student on the Prairie | ||||||
11 | State Achievement
Examination administered under subsection | ||||||
12 | (c) of this Section and any Prairie
State Achievement Awards | ||||||
13 | received by the student shall become part
of the student's | ||||||
14 | permanent record and shall be entered on the student's
| ||||||
15 | transcript pursuant to regulations that the State Board of | ||||||
16 | Education shall
promulgate for that purpose in accordance with | ||||||
17 | Section 3 and subsection (e) of
Section 2 of the Illinois | ||||||
18 | School Student Records Act. Beginning with the
1998-1999 school | ||||||
19 | year and in every school year thereafter, scores received by
| ||||||
20 | students on the State assessment tests administered in grades 3 | ||||||
21 | through 8 shall
be placed into students' temporary records.
| ||||||
22 | The State Board of Education shall
establish a
period of | ||||||
23 | time, to be referred to as the State test window, in each | ||||||
24 | school year for which State
testing shall occur to meet the | ||||||
25 | objectives of this Section. However, if the
schools of a | ||||||
26 | district are closed and classes are not scheduled during any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | week
that is established by the State Board of Education as the | ||||||
2 | State test
window, the school district may
(at the discretion | ||||||
3 | of the State Board of Education) move its State test
window one | ||||||
4 | week earlier or one week later than the established State test
| ||||||
5 | window, so long as
the school district gives the State Board of | ||||||
6 | Education written notice of its
intention to deviate from the | ||||||
7 | established schedule by December 1 of the school
year in which | ||||||
8 | falls the State test window established by the State
Board of | ||||||
9 | Education for
the testing.
| ||||||
10 | (a-5) All tests administered pursuant to this Section shall | ||||||
11 | be academically
based. For the purposes of this Section | ||||||
12 | "academically based tests" shall mean
tests consisting of | ||||||
13 | questions and answers that are measurable and quantifiable
to | ||||||
14 | measure the knowledge, skill, and ability of students in the | ||||||
15 | subject matters
covered by tests. The scoring of academically | ||||||
16 | based tests shall be reliable,
valid, unbiased and shall meet | ||||||
17 | the guidelines for test development and use
prescribed by the | ||||||
18 | American Psychological Association, the National Council of
| ||||||
19 | Measurement and Evaluation, and the American Educational | ||||||
20 | Research Association.
Academically based tests shall not | ||||||
21 | include assessments or evaluations of
attitudes, values, or | ||||||
22 | beliefs, or testing of personality, self-esteem, or
| ||||||
23 | self-concept. Nothing in this amendatory Act is intended, nor | ||||||
24 | shall it be
construed, to nullify, supersede, or contradict the | ||||||
25 | legislative intent on
academic testing expressed during the | ||||||
26 | passage of HB 1005/P.A. 90-296.
Nothing in this Section is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | intended, nor shall it be construed, to nullify,
supersede, or | ||||||
2 | contradict the legislative intent on academic testing
| ||||||
3 | expressed in the preamble of this amendatory Act of the 93rd | ||||||
4 | General
Assembly.
| ||||||
5 | The State Board of Education shall monitor the use of
short | ||||||
6 | answer
questions in the math
and reading assessments or in | ||||||
7 | other assessments in order to demonstrate that the use of short
| ||||||
8 | answer questions results in a statistically significant | ||||||
9 | improvement in student
achievement as measured on the State | ||||||
10 | assessments for math and reading or on
other State assessments | ||||||
11 | and is
justifiable in terms of cost and student performance.
| ||||||
12 | (b) It shall be the policy of the State to encourage school | ||||||
13 | districts
to continuously test pupil proficiency in the | ||||||
14 | fundamental learning areas in
order to: (i) provide timely | ||||||
15 | information on individual students' performance
relative to | ||||||
16 | State standards that is adequate to guide instructional | ||||||
17 | strategies;
(ii) improve future instruction; and (iii) | ||||||
18 | complement the information provided
by the State testing system | ||||||
19 | described in this Section. To assist
school districts in | ||||||
20 | testing pupil proficiency in reading in the primary grades,
the | ||||||
21 | State Board shall make optional reading inventories for | ||||||
22 | diagnostic purposes
available to each school district that | ||||||
23 | requests such assistance. Districts
that administer the | ||||||
24 | reading inventories may develop remediation programs for
| ||||||
25 | students who perform in the bottom half of the student | ||||||
26 | population. Those
remediation programs may be funded by moneys |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provided under the School Safety
and Educational Improvement | ||||||
2 | Block Grant Program established under Section
2-3.51.5.
| ||||||
3 | (c) Beginning with the 2000-2001 school year, each school | ||||||
4 | district that
operates a high school program for students in | ||||||
5 | grades 9 through 12 shall
annually administer the Prairie State | ||||||
6 | Achievement Examination
established under this subsection to | ||||||
7 | its students as set forth
below. The Prairie State Achievement | ||||||
8 | Examination shall be developed by
the State Board of Education | ||||||
9 | to measure student performance in the academic
areas of | ||||||
10 | reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social sciences. | ||||||
11 | Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, however, the State | ||||||
12 | Board of Education shall not test a student in the social | ||||||
13 | sciences (history, geography, civics, economics, and | ||||||
14 | government) as part of the Prairie State Achievement | ||||||
15 | Examination unless the student is retaking the Prairie State | ||||||
16 | Achievement Examination in the fall of 2004. In addition, the | ||||||
17 | State Board of Education shall not test a student in writing as | ||||||
18 | part of the Prairie State Achievement Examination during the | ||||||
19 | 2005-2006 school year. The
State Board of Education shall | ||||||
20 | establish the academic standards that are to
apply in measuring | ||||||
21 | student performance on the Prairie State Achievement
| ||||||
22 | Examination including the minimum examination score in each | ||||||
23 | area that will
qualify a student to receive a Prairie State | ||||||
24 | Achievement Award from the State
in recognition of the | ||||||
25 | student's excellent performance. Each school district
that is | ||||||
26 | subject to the requirements of this subsection (c) shall afford |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | all
students one opportunity to take the Prairie State | ||||||
2 | Achievement Examination
beginning as late as practical during | ||||||
3 | the spring semester of grade 11, but in
no event before March | ||||||
4 | 1. The State Board of Education shall annually notify
districts | ||||||
5 | of the weeks during which this test administration shall be
| ||||||
6 | required to occur. Every individualized educational program as | ||||||
7 | described in
Article 14 shall identify if the Prairie State | ||||||
8 | Achievement Examination or
components thereof are appropriate | ||||||
9 | for that student. Each student, exclusive of
a student whose | ||||||
10 | individualized educational program developed under Article 14
| ||||||
11 | identifies the Prairie State Achievement Examination as | ||||||
12 | inappropriate for the
student, shall be required to take the | ||||||
13 | examination in grade 11. For each
academic area the State Board | ||||||
14 | of Education shall establish the score that
qualifies for the | ||||||
15 | Prairie State Achievement Award on that portion of the
| ||||||
16 | examination. Districts shall inform their students of the
| ||||||
17 | timelines and procedures applicable to their participation in | ||||||
18 | every yearly
administration of the Prairie State Achievement | ||||||
19 | Examination. Students
receiving special education services | ||||||
20 | whose individualized educational programs
identify the Prairie | ||||||
21 | State Achievement Examination as inappropriate for them
| ||||||
22 | nevertheless shall have the option of taking the examination, | ||||||
23 | which shall be
administered to those students in accordance | ||||||
24 | with standards adopted by the
State Board of Education to | ||||||
25 | accommodate the respective disabilities of those
students. A | ||||||
26 | student who successfully completes all other applicable high
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | school graduation requirements but fails to receive a score on | ||||||
2 | the Prairie
State Achievement Examination that qualifies the | ||||||
3 | student for receipt of a
Prairie State Achievement Award shall | ||||||
4 | nevertheless qualify for the receipt
of a regular high school | ||||||
5 | diploma. In no case, however, shall a student receive a regular | ||||||
6 | high school diploma without taking the Prairie State | ||||||
7 | Achievement Examination, unless the student is exempted from | ||||||
8 | taking the Prairie State Achievement Examination under this | ||||||
9 | subsection (c) because (i) the student's individualized | ||||||
10 | educational program developed under Article 14 of this Code | ||||||
11 | identifies the Prairie State Achievement Examination as | ||||||
12 | inappropriate for the student, (ii) the student is exempt due | ||||||
13 | to the student's lack of English language proficiency under | ||||||
14 | subsection (a) of this Section, (iii) the student is enrolled | ||||||
15 | in a program of Adult and Continuing Education as defined in | ||||||
16 | the Adult Education Act, (iv) the school district is not | ||||||
17 | required to test the individual student for purposes of | ||||||
18 | accountability under federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 | ||||||
19 | requirements, or (v) the student is otherwise identified by the | ||||||
20 | State Board of Education through rules as being exempt from the | ||||||
21 | assessment.
| ||||||
22 | (d) Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, all schools | ||||||
23 | in this
State that are part of the sample drawn by the National | ||||||
24 | Center for
Education Statistics, in collaboration with their | ||||||
25 | school districts and the
State Board of Education, shall | ||||||
26 | administer the biennial State academic
assessments of 4th and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 8th grade reading and mathematics under the
National Assessment | ||||||
2 | of Educational Progress carried out under Section 411(b)(2)
| ||||||
3 | m11(b)(2) of the National Education Statistics Act of 1994 (20 | ||||||
4 | U.S.C.
9010) if the Secretary of Education pays the costs of | ||||||
5 | administering the
assessments.
| ||||||
6 | (e) Beginning no later than the 2005-2006 school year, | ||||||
7 | subject to
available federal funds to this State for the | ||||||
8 | purpose of student
assessment, the State Board of Education | ||||||
9 | shall provide additional tests
and assessment resources that | ||||||
10 | may be used by school districts for local
diagnostic purposes. | ||||||
11 | These tests and resources shall include without
limitation | ||||||
12 | additional high school writing, physical development and
| ||||||
13 | health, and fine arts assessments. The State Board of Education | ||||||
14 | shall
annually distribute a listing of these additional tests | ||||||
15 | and resources,
using funds available from appropriations made | ||||||
16 | for student assessment
purposes.
| ||||||
17 | (f) For the assessment and accountability purposes of this | ||||||
18 | Section,
"all pupils" includes those pupils enrolled in a | ||||||
19 | public or
State-operated elementary school, secondary school, | ||||||
20 | or cooperative or
joint agreement with a governing body or | ||||||
21 | board of control, a charter
school operating in compliance with | ||||||
22 | the Charter Schools Law, a school
operated by a regional office | ||||||
23 | of education under Section 13A-3 of this
Code, or a public | ||||||
24 | school administered by a local public agency or the
Department | ||||||
25 | of Human Services.

| ||||||
2 | Sec. 2-3.117a. School Technology Revolving Loan Program.
| ||||||
3 | (a) The State
Board of Education is authorized to | ||||||
4 | administer a School Technology Revolving
Loan Program from | ||||||
5 | funds appropriated from the School Technology Revolving Loan
| ||||||
6 | Fund for the purpose of making the financing of school | ||||||
7 | technology hardware
improvements affordable
and making the | ||||||
8 | integration of technology in the classroom possible. School
| ||||||
9 | technology loans shall be made available to
public school | ||||||
10 | districts, charter schools, area vocational centers,
| ||||||
11 | laboratory schools, and State-recognized, non-public schools | ||||||
12 | to purchase technology hardware for eligible grade
levels on a | ||||||
13 | 2-year rotating basis: grades 9 through 12 in fiscal year 2004
| ||||||
14 | and each second year thereafter and grades K through 8 in | ||||||
15 | fiscal year
2005 and each second year thereafter. However, | ||||||
16 | priority shall be given to public school districts, charter | ||||||
17 | schools, area vocational centers, and laboratory schools that | ||||||
18 | apply prior to October 1 of each year.
| ||||||
19 | The State Board of Education shall determine the interest | ||||||
20 | rate the loans
shall bear which shall not be greater than 50% | ||||||
21 | of the rate for the most recent
date shown in the 20 G.O. Bonds | ||||||
22 | Index of average municipal bond yields as
published in the most | ||||||
23 | recent edition of The Bond
Buyer, published in New York, New | ||||||
24 | York. The repayment period for School
Technology Revolving | ||||||
25 | Loans shall not exceed 3 years. Participants shall use at least |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 90% of the loan proceeds for technology
hardware
investments | ||||||
2 | for
students and staff (including computer hardware, | ||||||
3 | technology networks,
related
wiring, and other items as defined | ||||||
4 | in rules adopted by the State Board of
Education) and up to 10% | ||||||
5 | of the loan proceeds for computer furniture. No
participant | ||||||

24 | Sec. 2-3.150 2-3.148 . Textbook digital technology; pilot | ||||||
25 | program. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings: | ||||||
2 | (1) The use of digital technologies in the kindergarten | ||||||
3 | through grade 12 school environment is rapidly increasing | ||||||
4 | in this State. | ||||||
5 | (2) There is a need for the State Board of Education to | ||||||
6 | explore the expanded use of digital technologies in | ||||||

13 | following issues: | ||||||
14 | (1) the development of alternative textbook formats, | ||||||
15 | including various digital formats; and | ||||||
16 | (2) any possible adaptation of existing standard print | ||||||
17 | textbooks that would be beneficial to the health and | ||||||
18 | educational achievement of pupils in this State. | ||||||
19 | (c) The State Board of Education shall report the results | ||||||
20 | of its
findings on the pilot program and make recommendations | ||||||
21 | to the Governor and the General
Assembly on or before January | ||||||

3 | Sec. 2-3.151 2-3.148 . Green career and technical education
| ||||||

5 | (a) As used in this Section, "green industries"
means | ||||||
6 | industries that contribute directly to preserving or
enhancing | ||||||
7 | environmental quality by reducing waste and pollution
or | ||||||
8 | producing sustainable products using sustainable processes
and | ||||||
9 | materials and that provide opportunities for advancement
along | ||||||
10 | a career track of increasing skills and wages. Green
industries | ||||||
11 | include any of the following: | ||||||
12 | (1) Energy system retrofits to increase energy
| ||||||
13 | efficiency and conservation. | ||||||
14 | (2) The production and distribution of biofuels
and | ||||||
15 | vehicle retrofits for biofuels. | ||||||

5 | (10) Horticulture. | ||||||
6 | (b) It is the purpose and intent of this Section to | ||||||
7 | establish a State grant program that develops secondary | ||||||
8 | programs that introduce students to developing green | ||||||
9 | industries. | ||||||
10 | (c) Subject to appropriation, the State Board of Education | ||||||
11 | shall establish a State grant program that develops, through a | ||||||
12 | competitive process, 2-year pilot programs to assist in the | ||||||
13 | creation and promotion of green career and technical education | ||||||
14 | programs in public secondary
schools in this State. Preference | ||||||
15 | must be given to proposals that include the integration of | ||||||
16 | academic and career and technical education content, arranged | ||||||
17 | in sequences of courses that lead to post-secondary completion. | ||||||
18 | (d) The State Board of Education may adopt any rules
| ||||||
19 | necessary for the implementation of this Section. | ||||||
20 | (e) The State Board of Education may use up to 5% of the | ||||||
21 | funds appropriated for the purposes of this Section for | ||||||
22 | administrative costs,
including the hiring of positions for the | ||||||
23 | implementation and administration of the grant program, | ||||||
24 | provided that if no appropriation is made to the State Board | ||||||
25 | for a given fiscal year for the purposes of the grant program, | ||||||
26 | then the State Board is not required to make any expenditures |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in support of the program during that fiscal year.

3 | (105 ILCS 5/2-3.152) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 2-3.152 2-3.148 . Community schools. | ||||||
5 | (a) This Section applies beginning with the 2009-2010 | ||||||
6 | school year. | ||||||
7 | (b) The General Assembly finds all of the following: | ||||||
8 | (1) All children are capable of success. | ||||||
9 | (2) Schools are the centers of vibrant communities. | ||||||
10 | (3) Strong families build strong educational | ||||||
11 | communities. | ||||||
12 | (4) Children succeed when adults work together to | ||||||
13 | foster positive educational outcomes. | ||||||
14 | (5) Schools work best when families take active roles | ||||||
15 | in the education of children. | ||||||
16 | (6) Schools today are limited in their ability to | ||||||
17 | dedicate time and resources to provide a wide range of | ||||||
18 | educational opportunities to students because of the focus | ||||||
19 | on standardized test outcomes. | ||||||
20 | (7) By providing learning opportunities outside of | ||||||
21 | normal school hours, including programs on life skills and | ||||||
22 | health, students are more successful academically, more | ||||||
23 | engaged in their communities, safer, and better prepared to | ||||||
24 | make a successful transition from school to adulthood. | ||||||
25 | (8) A community school is a traditional school that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | actively partners with its community to leverage existing | ||||||
2 | resources and identify new resources to support the | ||||||
3 | transformation of the school to provide enrichment and | ||||||
4 | additional life skill opportunities for students, parents, | ||||||
5 | and community members at-large. Each community school is | ||||||
6 | unique because its programming is designed by and for the | ||||||
7 | school staff, in partnership with parents, community | ||||||
8 | stakeholders, and students. | ||||||
9 | (9) Community schools currently exist in this State in | ||||||
10 | urban, rural, and suburban communities. | ||||||
11 | (10) Research shows that community schools have a | ||||||
12 | powerful positive impact on students, as demonstrated by | ||||||
13 | increased academic success, a positive change in attitudes | ||||||
14 | toward school and learning, and decreased behavioral | ||||||
15 | problems. | ||||||
16 | (11) After-school and evening programs offered by | ||||||
17 | community schools provide academic enrichment consistent | ||||||
18 | with the Illinois Learning Standards and general school | ||||||
19 | curriculum; an opportunity for physical fitness activities | ||||||
20 | for students, fine arts programs, structured learning | ||||||
21 | "play" time, and other recreational opportunities; a safe | ||||||
22 | haven for students; and work supports for working families. | ||||||
23 | (12) Community schools are cost-effective because they | ||||||
24 | leverage existing resources provided by local, State, | ||||||
25 | federal, and private sources and bring programs to the | ||||||
26 | schools, where the students are already congregated. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Community schools have been shown to leverage between $5 to | ||||||
2 | $8 in existing programming for every $1 spent on a | ||||||
3 | community school. | ||||||
4 | (c) Subject to an appropriation or the availability of | ||||||
5 | funding for such purposes, the State Board of Education shall | ||||||
6 | make grants available to fund community schools and to enhance | ||||||
7 | programs at community schools. A request-for-proposal process | ||||||
8 | must be used in awarding grants under this subsection (c). | ||||||
9 | Proposals may be submitted on behalf of a school, a school | ||||||
10 | district, or a consortium of 2 or more schools or school | ||||||
11 | districts. Proposals must be evaluated and scored on the basis | ||||||
12 | of criteria consistent with this Section and other factors | ||||||
13 | developed and adopted by the State Board of Education. | ||||||
14 | Technical assistance in grant writing must be made available to | ||||||
15 | schools, school districts, or consortia of school districts | ||||||
16 | through the State Board of Education directly or through a | ||||||
17 | resource and referral directory established and maintained by | ||||||
18 | the State Board of Education. | ||||||
19 | (d) In order to qualify for a community school grant under | ||||||
20 | this Section, a school must, at a minimum, have the following | ||||||
21 | components: | ||||||
22 | (1) Before and after-school programming each school | ||||||
23 | day to meet the identified needs of students. | ||||||
24 | (2) Weekend programming. | ||||||
25 | (3) At least 4 weeks of summer programming. | ||||||
26 | (4) A local advisory group comprised of school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | leadership, parents, and community stakeholders that | ||||||
2 | establishes school-specific programming goals, assesses | ||||||
3 | program needs, and oversees the process of implementing | ||||||
4 | expanded programming. | ||||||
5 | (5) A program director or resource coordinator who is | ||||||
6 | responsible for establishing a local advisory group, | ||||||
7 | assessing the needs of students and community members, | ||||||
8 | identifying programs to meet those needs, developing the | ||||||
9 | before and after-school, weekend, and summer programming | ||||||
10 | and overseeing the implementation of programming to ensure | ||||||
11 | high quality, efficiency, and robust participation. | ||||||
12 | (6) Programming that includes academic excellence | ||||||
13 | aligned with the Illinois Learning Standards, life skills, | ||||||
14 | healthy minds and bodies, parental support, and community | ||||||
15 | engagement and that promotes staying in school and | ||||||
16 | non-violent behavior and non-violent conflict resolution. | ||||||
17 | (7) Maintenance of attendance records in all | ||||||
18 | programming components. | ||||||
19 | (8) Maintenance of measurable data showing annual | ||||||
20 | participation and the impact of programming on the | ||||||
21 | participating children and adults. | ||||||
22 | (9) Documentation of true collaboration between the | ||||||
23 | school and community stakeholders, including local | ||||||
24 | governmental units, civic organizations, families, | ||||||
25 | businesses, and social service providers. | ||||||
26 | (10) A non-discrimination policy ensuring that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | community school does not condition participation upon | ||||||
2 | race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, or disability.

12 | opening at which the contents of the bids
must be announced. | ||||||
13 | Each bidder must receive at least 3 days' notice of the
time | ||||||
14 | and place of the bid opening. For purposes of this Section due

20 | and certified education purchasing contracts, as defined in | ||||||
21 | Article 28A of this Code, are not subject to the requirements | ||||||
22 | of this paragraph.
| ||||||
23 | Under this Section, the acceptance of bids sealed by a | ||||||
24 | bidder and the opening of these bids at a public bid opening | ||||||
25 | may be permitted by an electronic process for communicating, | ||||||
26 | accepting, and opening competitive bids. However, bids for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | construction purposes are prohibited from being communicated, | ||||||
2 | accepted, or opened electronically. An electronic bidding | ||||||
3 | process must provide for, but is not limited to, the following | ||||||
4 | safeguards: | ||||||
5 | (1) On the date and time certain of a bid opening, the | ||||||
6 | primary person conducting the competitive, sealed, | ||||||
7 | electronic bid process shall log onto a specified database | ||||||

17 | disaster recovery plan.
| ||||||
18 | It is the legislative intent of Public Act 96-841 this | ||||||
19 | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly to maintain the | ||||||
20 | integrity of the sealed bidding process provided for in this | ||||||
21 | Section, to further limit any possibility of bid-rigging, to | ||||||
22 | reduce administrative costs to school districts, and to effect | ||||||
23 | efficiencies in communications with bidders. | ||||||
24 | (b) To require, as a condition of any contract for goods | ||||||
25 | and services,
that persons
bidding for and awarded a contract | ||||||
26 | and all affiliates of the person collect and
remit
Illinois Use |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Tax on all sales of tangible personal property into the State | ||||||
2 | of
Illinois in
accordance with the provisions of the Illinois | ||||||
3 | Use Tax Act regardless of whether
the
person or affiliate is a | ||||||
4 | "retailer maintaining a place of business within this
State" as
| ||||||
5 | defined in Section 2 of the Use Tax Act. For purposes of this | ||||||
6 | Section, the term
"affiliate"
means any entity that (1) | ||||||
7 | directly, indirectly, or constructively controls
another | ||||||
8 | entity, (2)
is directly, indirectly, or constructively | ||||||
9 | controlled by another entity, or (3)
is subject to
the control | ||||||
10 | of a common entity. For purposes of this subsection (b), an | ||||||
11 | entity
controls
another entity if it owns, directly or | ||||||
12 | individually, more than 10% of the
voting
securities
of that | ||||||
13 | entity. As used in this subsection (b), the term "voting | ||||||
14 | security"
means a security
that (1) confers upon the holder the | ||||||
15 | right to vote for the election of members
of the board
of | ||||||
16 | directors or similar governing body of the business or (2) is | ||||||
17 | convertible
into, or entitles
the holder to receive upon its | ||||||
18 | exercise, a security that confers such a right
to
vote. A
| ||||||
19 | general partnership interest is a voting security.
| ||||||
20 | To require that bids and contracts include a certification | ||||||
21 | by the bidder

20 | (a) It is recommended that every occupied school building | ||||||
21 | of a school district be tested every 5 years for radon pursuant | ||||||
22 | to rules established by the Illinois Emergency Management | ||||||
23 | Agency (IEMA). |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) It is recommended that new schools of a school district | ||||||
2 | be built using radon resistant new construction techniques, as | ||||||
3 | shown in the United States Environmental Protection Agency | ||||||

17 | one or more employees from the district attend an | ||||||
18 | IEMA-approved, Internet-based training course on school | ||||||
19 | testing in order to receive an exemption to conduct testing in | ||||||
20 | that school district. These school district employees must | ||||||
21 | perform the measurements in accordance with procedures | ||||||
22 | approved by IEMA. If an exemption from IEMA is not received, | ||||||
23 | the school district must use a licensed radon professional to | ||||||
24 | conduct measurements. | ||||||
25 | (e) If the results of a radon screening test under this | ||||||
26 | Section are found to be 4.0 pCi/L or above, the school district |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may hire a licensed radon professional to perform measurements | ||||||
2 | before any mitigation decisions are made. If radon levels of | ||||||
3 | 4.0 pCi/L or above are found, it is recommended that affected | ||||||
4 | areas be mitigated by a licensed radon mitigation professional | ||||||
5 | with respect to both design and installation. IEMA may provide | ||||||
6 | the school district with a list of licensed radon mitigation | ||||||
7 | professionals. | ||||||
8 | (f) A screening test under this Section may be done with a | ||||||
9 | test kit found in a hardware store, department store, or home | ||||||
10 | improvement store or with a kit ordered through the mail or | ||||||
11 | over the Internet. However, the kit must be provided by a | ||||||

and | ||||||
12 | other professional workers may be employed by one district, | ||||||
13 | which
shall be reimbursed on a mutually agreed basis by other | ||||||
14 | districts
that are parties to the joint agreement. Such | ||||||
15 | agreements may provide that
one district may supply | ||||||

14 | an amendment may include the removal of a school district from | ||||||
15 | or the addition of a school district to the joint agreement | ||||||
16 | without a petition as otherwise required in this Section if all | ||||||
17 | member districts adopt concurring resolutions to that effect. A | ||||||

4 | board of school trustees holds the hearing, approval of the | ||||||
5 | petition must be by a two-thirds majority vote of the school | ||||||
6 | trustees. In instances in which a joint hearing of 2 or more | ||||||
7 | regional boards of school trustees is required, approval of the | ||||||

12 | petitions for withdrawal shall be made to the school boards of | ||||||
13 | those districts that fall under the oversight or governance of | ||||||

26 | cooperating district and designated by such
boards to act in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accordance with the joint agreement. No such governing
board | ||||||
2 | may levy taxes and no such governing board may incur any
| ||||||
3 | indebtedness except within an annual budget for the joint | ||||||
4 | agreement
approved by the governing board and by the boards of | ||||||
5 | at least a majority
of the cooperating school districts or a | ||||||
6 | number of districts greater
than a majority if required by
the | ||||||
7 | joint agreement. The governing board may appoint an executive | ||||||
8 | board of at
least 7 members to administer the joint agreement | ||||||
9 | in accordance with
its terms. However, if 7 or more school | ||||||
10 | districts are parties to a joint agreement that does not have | ||||||
11 | an
administrative district: (i) at least a majority of the | ||||||
12 | members appointed by
the governing board to the executive
board | ||||||
13 | shall
be members of the school boards of the cooperating | ||||||
14 | districts; or
(ii) if the
governing
board wishes to appoint | ||||||
15 | members who are not school board members, they shall be
| ||||||
16 | superintendents from the
cooperating districts.
| ||||||
17 | (c) To employ a full-time director of special education of | ||||||
18 | the joint agreement program under a one-year or multi-year
| ||||||
19 | contract. No such contract can be offered or accepted for less | ||||||
20 | than one year. Such contract
may be discontinued at any time by | ||||||
21 | mutual agreement of the contracting
parties, or may be extended | ||||||
22 | for an additional one-year or multi-year period at the end of | ||||||
23 | any year.
| ||||||
24 | The contract year is July 1 through the following June | ||||||
25 | 30th, unless the
contract specifically provides otherwise. | ||||||
26 | Notice of intent not to renew a
contract when given by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | controlling board or administrative district must
be in writing | ||||||
2 | stating the specific reason therefor. Notice of intent not
to | ||||||
3 | renew the contract must be given by the controlling board or | ||||||
4 | the
administrative district at least 90 days before the | ||||||
5 | contract expires.
Failure to do so will automatically extend | ||||||
6 | the contract for one
additional year.
| ||||||
7 | By accepting the terms of the contract, the director of a
| ||||||
8 | special education joint agreement waives all rights granted | ||||||
9 | under Sections
24-11 through 24-16 for the duration of his or | ||||||
10 | her employment as a director
of a special education joint | ||||||
11 | agreement.
| ||||||
12 | (d) To designate a district that is a party to the joint | ||||||
13 | agreement as the
issuer of bonds or notes for the purposes and | ||||||
14 | in the manner provided in
this Section. It is not necessary for | ||||||
15 | such district to also be the
administrative district for the | ||||||
16 | joint agreement, nor is it necessary for
the same district to | ||||||
17 | be designated as the issuer of all series of bonds or
notes | ||||||
18 | issued hereunder. Any district so designated may, from time to | ||||||
19 | time,
borrow money and, in evidence of its obligation to repay | ||||||
20 | the borrowing,
issue its negotiable bonds or notes for the | ||||||
21 | purpose of acquiring,
constructing, altering, repairing, | ||||||
22 | enlarging and equipping any building or
portion thereof, | ||||||
23 | together with any land or interest therein, necessary to
| ||||||
24 | provide special educational facilities and services as defined | ||||||
25 | in Section
14-1.08. Title in and to any such facilities shall | ||||||
26 | be held in accordance
with the joint agreement.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Any such bonds or notes shall be authorized by a resolution | ||||||
2 | of the board
of education of the issuing district. The | ||||||
3 | resolution may contain such
covenants as may be deemed | ||||||
4 | necessary or advisable by the district to
assure the payment of | ||||||
5 | the bonds or notes. The resolution shall be
effective | ||||||
6 | immediately upon its adoption.
| ||||||
7 | Prior to the issuance of such bonds or notes, each school | ||||||
8 | district that
is a party to the joint agreement shall agree, | ||||||
9 | whether by amendment to the
joint agreement or by resolution of | ||||||
10 | the board of education, to be jointly
and severally liable for | ||||||
11 | the payment of the bonds and notes. The bonds or
notes shall be | ||||||
12 | payable solely and only from the payments made pursuant to
such | ||||||
13 | agreement.
| ||||||
14 | Neither the bonds or notes nor the obligation to pay the | ||||||
15 | bonds or notes under
any joint agreement shall constitute an | ||||||
16 | indebtedness of any district,
including the issuing district, | ||||||
17 | within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory | ||||||
18 | limitation.
| ||||||
19 | As long as any bonds or notes are outstanding and unpaid, | ||||||
20 | the agreement
by a district to pay the bonds and notes shall be | ||||||
21 | irrevocable
notwithstanding the district's withdrawal from | ||||||
22 | membership in the joint
special education program.
| ||||||
23 | (e) If a district whose employees are on strike was, prior | ||||||
24 | to the strike,
sending students with disabilities to special | ||||||
25 | educational
facilities and services
in another district or | ||||||
26 | cooperative, the district affected by the strike
shall continue |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to send such students during the strike and shall be
eligible | ||||||
2 | to receive appropriate State reimbursement.
| ||||||
3 | (f) With respect to those joint agreements that have a | ||||||
4 | governing board
composed of one member of the school board of | ||||||
5 | each cooperating district and
designated by those boards to act | ||||||
6 | in accordance with the joint agreement, the
governing board | ||||||
7 | shall have, in addition to its other powers under this Section,
| ||||||
8 | the authority to issue bonds or notes for the purposes and in | ||||||
9 | the manner
provided in this subsection. The governing board of | ||||||
10 | the joint agreement
may from time to time borrow money and, in | ||||||
11 | evidence of its
obligation to repay the borrowing,
issue its | ||||||
12 | negotiable bonds or notes for the purpose of acquiring,
| ||||||
13 | constructing, altering, repairing, enlarging and equipping any | ||||||
14 | building or
portion thereof, together with any land or interest | ||||||
15 | therein, necessary to
provide special educational facilities | ||||||
16 | and services as defined in Section
14-1.08 and including also | ||||||
17 | facilities for activities of administration and
educational | ||||||
18 | support personnel employees. Title in and to any such | ||||||
19 | facilities
shall be held in accordance with the joint | ||||||
20 | agreement.
| ||||||
21 | Any such bonds or notes shall be authorized by a resolution | ||||||
22 | of the
governing board. The resolution may contain such
| ||||||
23 | covenants as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the | ||||||
24 | governing board
to assure the payment of the bonds or notes and | ||||||
25 | interest accruing thereon.
The resolution shall be effective | ||||||
26 | immediately upon its adoption.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Each school district that
is a party to the joint agreement | ||||||
2 | shall be automatically liable, by virtue of
its membership in | ||||||
3 | the joint agreement, for its proportionate share of the
| ||||||
4 | principal amount of the bonds and notes plus interest accruing | ||||||
5 | thereon, as
provided in the resolution. Subject to the joint | ||||||
6 | and several liability
hereinafter provided for, the resolution | ||||||
7 | may provide for different payment
schedules for different | ||||||
8 | districts except that the aggregate amount of scheduled
| ||||||
9 | payments for each district shall be equal to its proportionate | ||||||
10 | share of the
debt service in the bonds or notes based upon the | ||||||
11 | fraction that its
equalized assessed valuation bears to the | ||||||
12 | total equalized assessed valuation of
all the district members | ||||||
13 | of the joint agreement as adjusted in the manner
hereinafter | ||||||
14 | provided. In computing that fraction the most recent available
| ||||||
15 | equalized assessed valuation at the time of the issuance of the | ||||||
16 | bonds and notes
shall be used, and the equalized assessed | ||||||
17 | valuation of any district maintaining
grades K to 12 shall be | ||||||
18 | doubled in both the numerator and denominator of the
fraction | ||||||
19 | used for all of the districts that are members of the joint
| ||||||
20 | agreement. In case of default in payment by any
member, each | ||||||
21 | school district that is a party to the joint agreement shall
| ||||||
22 | automatically be jointly and severally liable for the amount of | ||||||
23 | any
deficiency. The bonds or
notes and interest thereon shall | ||||||
24 | be payable solely and only from the
funds made available | ||||||
25 | pursuant to the procedures set forth in this
subsection. No | ||||||
26 | project authorized under this subsection may require an
annual |
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
4 | Sec. 18-8.05. Basis for apportionment of general State | ||||||
5 | financial aid and
supplemental general State aid to the common | ||||||
6 | schools for the 1998-1999 and
subsequent school years.
| ||||||
7 | (A) General Provisions.
| ||||||
8 | (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999 | ||||||
9 | and subsequent
school years. The system of general State | ||||||
10 | financial aid provided for in this
Section
is designed to | ||||||
11 | assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
| ||||||
12 | required local resources, the financial support provided each | ||||||
13 | pupil in Average
Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
| ||||||
14 | prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach | ||||||
15 | imputes a level
of per pupil Available Local Resources and | ||||||
16 | provides for the basis to calculate
a per pupil level of | ||||||
17 | general State financial aid that, when added to Available
Local | ||||||
18 | Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The
amount | ||||||
19 | of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts, | ||||||
20 | in
general, varies in inverse
relation to Available Local | ||||||
21 | Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon
each school | ||||||
22 | district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in | ||||||
23 | this
Section.
| ||||||
24 | (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | districts with
specified levels or concentrations of pupils | ||||||
2 | from low income households are
eligible to receive supplemental | ||||||
3 | general State financial aid grants as provided
pursuant to | ||||||
4 | subsection (H).
The supplemental State aid grants provided for | ||||||
5 | school districts under
subsection (H) shall be appropriated for | ||||||
6 | distribution to school districts as
part of the same line item | ||||||
7 | in which the general State financial aid of school
districts is | ||||||
8 | appropriated under this Section.
| ||||||
9 | (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section, | ||||||
10 | school districts
are required to file claims with the State | ||||||
11 | Board of Education, subject to the
following requirements:
| ||||||
12 | (a) Any school district which fails for any given | ||||||
13 | school year to maintain
school as required by law, or to | ||||||
14 | maintain a recognized school is not
eligible to file for | ||||||
15 | such school year any claim upon the Common School
Fund. In | ||||||
16 | case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in | ||||||
17 | a
school district otherwise operating recognized schools, | ||||||
18 | the claim of the
district shall be reduced in the | ||||||
19 | proportion which the Average Daily
Attendance in the | ||||||
20 | attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
| ||||||
21 | Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school" | ||||||
22 | means any
public school which meets the standards as | ||||||
23 | established for recognition
by the State Board of | ||||||
24 | Education. A school district or attendance center
not | ||||||
25 | having recognition status at the end of a school term is | ||||||
26 | entitled to
receive State aid payments due upon a legal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | claim which was filed while
it was recognized.
| ||||||
2 | (b) School district claims filed under this Section are | ||||||
3 | subject to
Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise | ||||||
4 | provided in this
Section.
| ||||||
5 | (c) If a school district operates a full year school | ||||||
6 | under Section
10-19.1, the general State aid to the school | ||||||
7 | district shall be determined
by the State Board of | ||||||
8 | Education in accordance with this Section as near as
may be | ||||||
9 | applicable.
| ||||||
10 | (d) (Blank).
| ||||||
11 | (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the | ||||||
12 | board of any district
receiving any of the grants provided for | ||||||
13 | in this Section may apply those funds
to any fund so received | ||||||
14 | for which that board is authorized to make expenditures
by law.
| ||||||
15 | School districts are not required to exert a minimum | ||||||
16 | Operating Tax Rate in
order to qualify for assistance under | ||||||
17 | this Section.
| ||||||
18 | (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when | ||||||
19 | capitalized, shall
have the meaning ascribed herein:
| ||||||
20 | (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil | ||||||
21 | attendance in school,
averaged as provided for in | ||||||
22 | subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil
financial | ||||||
23 | support levels.
| ||||||
24 | (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of | ||||||
25 | local financial
support, calculated on the basis of Average | ||||||
26 | Daily Attendance and derived as
provided pursuant to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (D).
| ||||||
2 | (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes": | ||||||
3 | Funds paid to local
school districts pursuant to "An Act in | ||||||
4 | relation to the abolition of ad valorem
personal property | ||||||
5 | tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and
| ||||||
6 | amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in | ||||||
7 | connection therewith",
certified August 14, 1979, as | ||||||
8 | amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
| ||||||
9 | (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil | ||||||
10 | financial support
as provided for in subsection (B).
| ||||||
11 | (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property | ||||||
12 | taxes extended for
all purposes, except Bond and
Interest, | ||||||
13 | Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational | ||||||
14 | Education
Building purposes.
| ||||||
15 | (B) Foundation Level.
| ||||||
16 | (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the | ||||||
17 | State representing
the minimum level of per pupil financial | ||||||
18 | support that should be available to
provide for the basic | ||||||
19 | education of each pupil in
Average Daily Attendance. As set | ||||||
20 | forth in this Section, each school district
is assumed to exert
| ||||||
21 | a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with | ||||||
22 | the aggregate
of general State
financial aid provided the | ||||||
23 | district, an aggregate of State and local resources
are | ||||||
24 | available to meet
the basic education needs of pupils in the | ||||||
25 | district.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of | ||||||
2 | support is
$4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the | ||||||
3 | Foundation Level of support is
$4,325. For the 2000-2001 school | ||||||
4 | year, the Foundation Level of support is
$4,425. For the | ||||||
5 | 2001-2002 school year and 2002-2003 school year, the
Foundation | ||||||
6 | Level of support is $4,560. For the 2003-2004 school year, the | ||||||
7 | Foundation Level of support is $4,810. For the 2004-2005 school | ||||||
8 | year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,964.
For the | ||||||
9 | 2005-2006 school year,
the Foundation Level of support is | ||||||
10 | $5,164. For the 2006-2007 school year, the Foundation Level of | ||||||
11 | support is $5,334. For the 2007-2008 school year, the | ||||||
12 | Foundation Level of support is $5,734. For the 2008-2009 school | ||||||
13 | year, the Foundation Level of support is $5,959.
| ||||||
14 | (3) For the 2009-2010 school year and each school year | ||||||
15 | thereafter,
the Foundation Level of support is $6,119 or such | ||||||
16 | greater amount as
may be established by law by the General | ||||||
17 | Assembly.
| ||||||
18 | (C) Average Daily Attendance.
| ||||||
19 | (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant | ||||||
20 | to subsection
(E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be | ||||||
21 | utilized. The Average Daily
Attendance figure for formula
| ||||||
22 | calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual | ||||||
23 | number of
pupils in attendance of
each school district, as | ||||||
24 | further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil
attendance for | ||||||
25 | each
school district. In compiling the figures for the number |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of pupils in
attendance, school districts
and the State Board | ||||||
2 | of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid
funding, | ||||||
3 | conform
attendance figures to the requirements of subsection | ||||||
4 | (F).
| ||||||
5 | (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in | ||||||
6 | subsection (E) shall be
the requisite attendance data for the | ||||||
7 | school year immediately preceding
the
school year for which | ||||||
8 | general State aid is being calculated
or the average of the | ||||||
9 | attendance data for the 3 preceding school
years, whichever is | ||||||
10 | greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures
utilized in | ||||||
11 | subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
| ||||||
12 | school year immediately preceding the school year for which | ||||||
13 | general
State aid is being calculated.
| ||||||
14 | (D) Available Local Resources.
| ||||||
15 | (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant | ||||||
16 | to subsection
(E), a representation of Available Local | ||||||
17 | Resources per pupil, as that term is
defined and determined in | ||||||
18 | this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local
Resources | ||||||
19 | per pupil shall include a calculated
dollar amount representing | ||||||
20 | local school district revenues from local property
taxes and | ||||||
21 | from
Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed | ||||||
22 | on the basis of pupils
in Average
Daily Attendance. Calculation | ||||||
23 | of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty | ||||||
24 | funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
| ||||||
25 | (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property taxes,
the State Board of Education shall utilize the | ||||||
2 | equalized assessed valuation of
all taxable property of each | ||||||
3 | school
district as of September 30 of the previous year. The | ||||||
4 | equalized assessed
valuation utilized shall
be obtained and | ||||||
5 | determined as provided in subsection (G).
| ||||||
6 | (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten | ||||||
7 | through 12, local
property tax
revenues per pupil shall be | ||||||
8 | calculated as the product of the applicable
equalized assessed
| ||||||
9 | valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by | ||||||
10 | the district's
Average Daily
Attendance figure. For school | ||||||
11 | districts maintaining grades kindergarten
through 8, local
| ||||||
12 | property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the | ||||||
13 | product of the
applicable equalized
assessed valuation for the | ||||||
14 | district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the
district's | ||||||
15 | Average
Daily Attendance figure. For school districts | ||||||
16 | maintaining grades 9 through 12,
local property
tax revenues | ||||||
17 | per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation | ||||||
18 | of
the district
multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the | ||||||
19 | district's Average Daily
Attendance
figure.
| ||||||
20 | For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to | ||||||
21 | Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil | ||||||
22 | shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed | ||||||
23 | valuation for property within the partial elementary unit | ||||||
24 | district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of | ||||||
25 | this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's | ||||||
26 | Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial | ||||||
2 | elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined | ||||||
3 | in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by | ||||||
4 | the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
| ||||||
5 | (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid | ||||||
6 | to each school
district during the calendar year one year | ||||||
7 | before the calendar year in which a
school year begins, divided | ||||||
8 | by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that
district, shall | ||||||
9 | be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as
| ||||||
10 | derived by the application of the immediately preceding | ||||||
11 | paragraph (3). The sum
of these per pupil figures for each | ||||||
12 | school district shall constitute Available
Local Resources as | ||||||
13 | that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation
of | ||||||
14 | general State aid.
| ||||||
15 | (E) Computation of General State Aid.
| ||||||
16 | (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid | ||||||
17 | allotted to a
school district shall be computed by the State | ||||||
18 | Board of Education as provided
in this subsection.
| ||||||
19 | (2) For any school district for which Available Local | ||||||
20 | Resources per pupil
is less than the product of 0.93 times the | ||||||
21 | Foundation Level, general State aid
for that district shall be | ||||||
22 | calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation
Level minus | ||||||
23 | Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
| ||||||
24 | Attendance of the school district.
| ||||||
25 | (3) For any school district for which Available Local |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Resources per pupil
is equal to or greater than the product of | ||||||
2 | 0.93 times the Foundation Level and
less than the product of | ||||||
3 | 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid
per | ||||||
4 | pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level | ||||||
5 | derived using a
linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm, | ||||||
6 | the calculated general State
aid per pupil shall decline in | ||||||
7 | direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the
Foundation Level for | ||||||
8 | a school district with Available Local Resources equal to
the | ||||||
9 | product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the | ||||||
10 | Foundation
Level for a school district with Available Local | ||||||
11 | Resources equal to the product
of 1.75 times the Foundation | ||||||
12 | Level. The allocation of general
State aid for school districts | ||||||
13 | subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the
calculated general | ||||||
14 | State aid
per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily | ||||||
15 | Attendance of the school
district.
| ||||||
16 | (4) For any school district for which Available Local | ||||||
17 | Resources per pupil
equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times | ||||||
18 | the Foundation Level, the general
State aid for the school | ||||||
19 | district shall be calculated as the product of $218
multiplied | ||||||
20 | by the Average Daily Attendance of the school
district.
| ||||||
21 | (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school | ||||||
22 | district for
the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements | ||||||
23 | set forth in paragraph (4)
of subsection
(G) shall be increased | ||||||
24 | by an amount equal to the general State aid that
would have | ||||||
25 | been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
| ||||||
26 | utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Valuation as calculated
in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less | ||||||
2 | the general State aid allotted for the
1998-1999
school year. | ||||||
3 | This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
| ||||||
4 | affect any future general State aid allocations.
| ||||||
5 | (F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
| ||||||
6 | (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year, | ||||||
7 | submit to the State
Board of Education, on forms prescribed by | ||||||
8 | the State Board of Education,
attendance figures for the school | ||||||
9 | year that began in the preceding calendar
year. The attendance | ||||||
10 | information so transmitted shall identify the average
daily | ||||||
11 | attendance figures for each month of the school year. Beginning | ||||||
12 | with
the general State aid claim form for the 2002-2003 school
| ||||||
13 | year, districts shall calculate Average Daily Attendance as | ||||||
14 | provided in
subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph | ||||||
15 | (1).
| ||||||
16 | (a) In districts that do not hold year-round classes,
| ||||||
17 | days of attendance in August shall be added to the month of | ||||||
18 | September and any
days of attendance in June shall be added | ||||||
19 | to the month of May.
| ||||||
20 | (b) In districts in which all buildings hold year-round | ||||||
21 | classes,
days of attendance in July and August shall be | ||||||
22 | added to the month
of September and any days of attendance | ||||||
23 | in June shall be added to
the month of May.
| ||||||
24 | (c) In districts in which some buildings, but not all, | ||||||
25 | hold
year-round classes, for the non-year-round buildings, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | days of
attendance in August shall be added to the month of | ||||||
2 | September
and any days of attendance in June shall be added | ||||||
3 | to the month of
May. The average daily attendance for the | ||||||
4 | year-round buildings
shall be computed as provided in | ||||||
5 | subdivision (b) of this paragraph
(1). To calculate the | ||||||
6 | Average Daily Attendance for the district, the
average | ||||||
7 | daily attendance for the year-round buildings shall be
| ||||||
8 | multiplied by the days in session for the non-year-round | ||||||
9 | buildings
for each month and added to the monthly | ||||||
10 | attendance of the
non-year-round buildings.
| ||||||
11 | Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
| ||||||
12 | attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not | ||||||
13 | less than
5 clock hours of school work per day under direct | ||||||
14 | supervision of: (i)
teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or | ||||||
15 | volunteer personnel when engaging
in non-teaching duties and | ||||||
16 | supervising in those instances specified in
subsection (a) of | ||||||
17 | Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18, with
pupils | ||||||
18 | of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1 through | ||||||
19 | 12.
| ||||||
20 | Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited | ||||||
21 | only to the
districts that pay the tuition to a recognized | ||||||
22 | school.
| ||||||
23 | (2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours | ||||||
24 | of school
shall be subject to the following provisions in the | ||||||
25 | compilation of Average
Daily Attendance.
| ||||||
26 | (a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | only a part of
the school day may be counted on the basis | ||||||
2 | of 1/6 day for every class hour
of instruction of 40 | ||||||
3 | minutes or more attended pursuant to such enrollment,
| ||||||
4 | unless a pupil is
enrolled in a block-schedule format of 80 | ||||||
5 | minutes or more of instruction,
in which case the pupil may | ||||||
6 | be counted on the basis of the proportion of
minutes of | ||||||
7 | school work completed each day to the minimum number of
| ||||||
8 | minutes that school work is required to be held that day.
| ||||||
9 | (b) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours | ||||||
10 | on the opening
and closing of the school term, and upon the | ||||||
11 | first day of pupil
attendance, if preceded by a day or days | ||||||
12 | utilized as an institute or
teachers' workshop.
| ||||||
13 | (c) A session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted | ||||||
14 | as a day of
attendance upon certification by the regional | ||||||
15 | superintendent, and
approved by the State Superintendent | ||||||
16 | of Education to the extent that the
district has been | ||||||
17 | forced to use daily multiple sessions.
| ||||||
18 | (d) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted | ||||||
19 | as a day of
attendance (1) when the remainder of the school | ||||||
20 | day or at least
2 hours in the evening of that day is | ||||||
21 | utilized for an
in-service training program for teachers, | ||||||
22 | up to a maximum of 5 days per
school year, provided a | ||||||
23 | district conducts an in-service
training program for | ||||||
24 | teachers in accordance with Section 10-22.39 of this Code; | ||||||
25 | or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may
be used, in | ||||||
26 | which event each such day
may be counted as a day required |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for a legal school calendar pursuant to Section 10-19 of | ||||||
2 | this Code; (1.5) when, of the 5 days allowed under item | ||||||
3 | (1), a maximum of 4 days are used for parent-teacher | ||||||
4 | conferences, or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days are | ||||||
5 | used, in which case each such day may be counted as a | ||||||
6 | calendar day required under Section 10-19 of this Code, | ||||||
7 | provided that the full-day, parent-teacher conference | ||||||
8 | consists of (i) a minimum of 5 clock hours of | ||||||
9 | parent-teacher conferences, (ii) both a minimum of 2 clock | ||||||
10 | hours of parent-teacher conferences held in the evening | ||||||
11 | following a full day of student attendance, as specified in | ||||||
12 | subsection (F)(1)(c), and a minimum of 3 clock hours of | ||||||
13 | parent-teacher conferences held on the day immediately | ||||||
14 | following evening parent-teacher conferences, or (iii) | ||||||
15 | multiple parent-teacher conferences held in the evenings | ||||||
16 | following full days of student attendance, as specified in | ||||||
17 | subsection (F)(1)(c), in which the time used for the | ||||||
18 | parent-teacher conferences is equivalent to a minimum of 5 | ||||||
19 | clock hours; and (2) when days in
addition to
those | ||||||
20 | provided in items (1) and (1.5) are scheduled by a school | ||||||
21 | pursuant to its school
improvement plan adopted under | ||||||
22 | Article 34 or its revised or amended school
improvement | ||||||
23 | plan adopted under Article 2, provided that (i) such | ||||||
24 | sessions of
3 or more clock hours are scheduled to occur at | ||||||
25 | regular intervals, (ii) the
remainder of the school days in | ||||||
26 | which such sessions occur are utilized
for in-service |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | training programs or other staff development activities | ||||||
2 | for
teachers, and (iii) a sufficient number of minutes of | ||||||
3 | school work under the
direct supervision of teachers are | ||||||
4 | added to the school days between such
regularly scheduled | ||||||
5 | sessions to accumulate not less than the number of minutes
| ||||||
6 | by which such sessions of 3 or more clock hours fall short | ||||||
7 | of 5 clock hours.
Any full days used for the purposes of | ||||||
8 | this paragraph shall not be considered
for
computing | ||||||
9 | average daily attendance. Days scheduled for in-service | ||||||
10 | training
programs, staff development activities, or | ||||||
11 | parent-teacher conferences may be
scheduled separately for | ||||||
12 | different
grade levels and different attendance centers of | ||||||
13 | the district.
| ||||||
14 | (e) A session of not less than one clock hour of | ||||||
15 | teaching
hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by | ||||||
16 | telephone to the classroom may
be counted as 1/2 day of | ||||||
17 | attendance, however these pupils must receive 4 or
more | ||||||
18 | clock hours of instruction to be counted for a full day of | ||||||
19 | attendance.
| ||||||
20 | (f) A session of at least 4 clock hours may be counted | ||||||
21 | as a day of
attendance for first grade pupils, and pupils | ||||||
22 | in full day kindergartens,
and a session of 2 or more hours | ||||||
23 | may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance by
pupils in | ||||||
24 | kindergartens which provide only 1/2 day of attendance.
| ||||||
25 | (g) For children with disabilities who are below the | ||||||
26 | age of 6 years and
who
cannot attend 2 or more clock hours |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | because of their disability or
immaturity, a session of not | ||||||
2 | less than one clock hour may be counted as 1/2 day
of | ||||||
3 | attendance; however for such children whose educational | ||||||
4 | needs so require
a session of 4 or more clock hours may be | ||||||
5 | counted as a full day of attendance.
| ||||||
6 | (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only | ||||||
7 | 1/2 day of
attendance by each pupil shall not have more | ||||||
8 | than 1/2 day of attendance
counted in any one day. However, | ||||||
9 | kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days
of
attendance in any 5 | ||||||
10 | consecutive school days. When a pupil attends such a
| ||||||
11 | kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, the | ||||||
12 | pupil shall have
the following day as a day absent from | ||||||
13 | school, unless the school district
obtains permission in | ||||||
14 | writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
| ||||||
15 | Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of | ||||||
16 | attendance by
each pupil shall be counted the same as | ||||||
17 | attendance by first grade pupils.
Only the first year of | ||||||
18 | attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted,
except in | ||||||
19 | case of children who entered the kindergarten in their | ||||||
20 | fifth year
whose educational development requires a second | ||||||
21 | year of kindergarten as
determined under the rules and | ||||||
22 | regulations of the State Board of Education.
| ||||||
23 | (i) On the days when the Prairie State Achievement | ||||||
24 | Examination is
administered under subsection (c) of | ||||||
25 | Section 2-3.64 of this Code, the day
of attendance for a | ||||||
26 | pupil whose school
day must be shortened to accommodate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | required testing procedures may
be less than 5 clock hours | ||||||
2 | and shall be counted towards the 176 days of actual pupil | ||||||
3 | attendance required under Section 10-19 of this Code, | ||||||
4 | provided that a sufficient number of minutes
of school work | ||||||
5 | in excess of 5 clock hours are first completed on other | ||||||
6 | school
days to compensate for the loss of school work on | ||||||
7 | the examination days.
| ||||||
8 | (G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
| ||||||
9 | (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local | ||||||
10 | Resources required
pursuant to subsection (D), the
State Board | ||||||
11 | of Education shall secure from the Department of
Revenue the | ||||||
12 | value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of
| ||||||
13 | all taxable property of every school district, together with | ||||||
14 | (i) the applicable
tax rate used in extending taxes for the | ||||||
15 | funds of the district as of
September 30 of the previous year
| ||||||
16 | and (ii) the limiting rate for all school
districts subject to | ||||||
17 | property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
| ||||||
18 | Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
| ||||||
19 | The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized | ||||||
20 | assessed value of all
taxable
property of each school district | ||||||
21 | situated entirely or partially within a county
that is or was | ||||||
22 | subject to the
provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the | ||||||
23 | Property Tax Code (a)
an amount equal to the total amount by | ||||||
24 | which the
homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or | ||||||
25 | 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for
real
property situated in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that school district exceeds the total amount that would
have | ||||||
2 | been
allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction | ||||||
3 | under Section 15-176
was
(i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in | ||||||
4 | all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all | ||||||
5 | counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount | ||||||
6 | equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all | ||||||
7 | additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax | ||||||
8 | Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The | ||||||
9 | county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the | ||||||
10 | provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code | ||||||
11 | shall
annually calculate and certify to the Department of | ||||||
12 | Revenue for each school
district all
homestead exemption | ||||||
13 | amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code | ||||||
14 | and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175 | ||||||
15 | of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of | ||||||
16 | $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the | ||||||
17 | general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is | ||||||
18 | determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax | ||||||
19 | Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of | ||||||
20 | Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the | ||||||
21 | difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead | ||||||
22 | exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section | ||||||
23 | 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that | ||||||
24 | would have been allowed had the general homestead exemption for | ||||||
25 | that parcel of property been determined under Section 15-175 of | ||||||
26 | the Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph that if additional exemptions are allowed under | ||||||
2 | Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a | ||||||
3 | household income of less than $30,000, then the calculation of | ||||||
4 | Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the | ||||||
5 | difference, if any, because of those additional exemptions.
| ||||||
6 | This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by | ||||||
7 | the requirements of
this subsection, shall be utilized in the | ||||||
8 | calculation of Available Local
Resources.
| ||||||
9 | (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall | ||||||
10 | be adjusted, as
applicable, in the following manner:
| ||||||
11 | (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under | ||||||
12 | this Section,
with respect to any part of a school district | ||||||
13 | within a redevelopment
project area in respect to which a | ||||||
14 | municipality has adopted tax
increment allocation | ||||||
15 | financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
| ||||||
16 | Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11 | ||||||
17 | of the Illinois
Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs | ||||||
18 | Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through
11-74.6-50 of the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized
| ||||||
20 | assessed valuation of real property located in any such | ||||||
21 | project area which is
attributable to an increase above the | ||||||
22 | total initial equalized assessed
valuation of such | ||||||
23 | property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed
| ||||||
24 | valuation of the district, until such time as all
| ||||||
25 | redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in | ||||||
26 | Section 11-74.4-8
of the Tax Increment Allocation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of
the | ||||||
2 | Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of
the | ||||||
3 | equalized assessed valuation of the
district, the total | ||||||
4 | initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
| ||||||
5 | equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be | ||||||
6 | used until
such time as all redevelopment project costs | ||||||
7 | have been paid.
| ||||||
8 | (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for | ||||||
9 | a school district
shall be adjusted by subtracting from the | ||||||
10 | real property
value as equalized or assessed by the | ||||||
11 | Department of Revenue for the
district an amount computed | ||||||
12 | by dividing the amount of any abatement of
taxes under | ||||||
13 | Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a | ||||||
14 | district
maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by | ||||||
15 | 2.30% for a district
maintaining grades kindergarten | ||||||
16 | through 8, or by 1.05% for a
district
maintaining grades 9 | ||||||
17 | through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
| ||||||
18 | the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a) | ||||||
19 | of Section 18-165 of
the Property Tax Code by the same | ||||||
20 | percentage rates for district type as
specified in this | ||||||
21 | subparagraph (b).
| ||||||
22 | (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year | ||||||
23 | thereafter, if a
school district meets all of the criteria of | ||||||
24 | this subsection (G)(3), the school
district's Available Local | ||||||
25 | Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D)
using the | ||||||
26 | district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as
calculated under this
subsection (G)(3).
| ||||||
2 | For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms | ||||||
3 | shall have
the following meanings:
| ||||||
4 | "Budget Year": The school year for which general State | ||||||
5 | aid is calculated
and
awarded under subsection (E).
| ||||||
6 | "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to | ||||||
7 | calculate the Budget
Year
allocation of general State aid.
| ||||||
8 | "Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year | ||||||
9 | immediately preceding the
Base Tax Year.
| ||||||
10 | "Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the | ||||||
11 | equalized assessed
valuation utilized by the County Clerk | ||||||
12 | in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the
limiting rate as | ||||||
13 | calculated by the County Clerk and defined in the Property | ||||||
14 | Tax
Extension Limitation Law.
| ||||||
15 | "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of | ||||||
16 | the equalized assessed
valuation utilized by the County | ||||||
17 | Clerk in the Preceding Tax Year multiplied by
the Operating | ||||||
18 | Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A).
| ||||||
19 | "Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio, | ||||||
20 | certified by the
County Clerk, in which the numerator is | ||||||
21 | the Base Tax Year's Tax
Extension and the denominator is | ||||||
22 | the Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension.
| ||||||
23 | "Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined | ||||||
24 | in subsection (A).
| ||||||
25 | If a school district is subject to property tax extension | ||||||
26 | limitations as
imposed under
the Property Tax Extension |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Limitation Law, the State Board of Education shall
calculate | ||||||
2 | the Extension
Limitation
Equalized Assessed Valuation of that | ||||||
3 | district. For the 1999-2000 school
year, the
Extension | ||||||
4 | Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
| ||||||
5 | calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to | ||||||
6 | the product of the
district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation | ||||||
7 | and the district's Extension
Limitation Ratio. Except as | ||||||
8 | otherwise provided in this paragraph for a school district that | ||||||
9 | has approved or does approve an increase in its limiting rate, | ||||||
10 | for the 2000-2001 school year and each school year
thereafter,
| ||||||
11 | the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a | ||||||
12 | school district as
calculated by the State Board of Education | ||||||
13 | shall be equal to the product of
the Equalized Assessed | ||||||
14 | Valuation last used in the calculation of general State
aid and | ||||||
15 | the
district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension | ||||||
16 | Limitation
Equalized
Assessed Valuation of a school district as | ||||||
17 | calculated under
this subsection (G)(3) is less than the | ||||||
18 | district's equalized assessed valuation
as calculated pursuant | ||||||
19 | to subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of
| ||||||
20 | calculating the district's general State aid for the Budget | ||||||
21 | Year pursuant to
subsection (E), that Extension
Limitation | ||||||
22 | Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the
| ||||||
23 | district's Available Local Resources
under subsection (D). For | ||||||
24 | the 2009-2010 school year and each school year thereafter, if a | ||||||
25 | school district has approved or does approve an increase in its | ||||||
26 | limiting rate, pursuant to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Code, affecting the Base Tax Year, the Extension Limitation | ||||||
2 | Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district, as | ||||||
3 | calculated by the State Board of Education, shall be equal to | ||||||
4 | the product of the Equalized Assessed Valuation last used in | ||||||
5 | the calculation of general State aid times an amount equal to | ||||||
6 | one plus the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price | ||||||
7 | Index for all Urban Consumers for all items published by the | ||||||
8 | United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar | ||||||
9 | year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the Equalized Assessed | ||||||
10 | Valuation of new property, annexed property, and recovered tax | ||||||
11 | increment value and minus the Equalized Assessed Valuation of | ||||||
12 | disconnected property. New property and recovered tax | ||||||
13 | increment value shall have the meanings set forth in the | ||||||
14 | Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
| ||||||
15 | Partial elementary unit districts created in accordance | ||||||
16 | with Article 11E of this Code shall not be eligible for the | ||||||
17 | adjustment in this subsection (G)(3) until the fifth year | ||||||
18 | following the effective date of the reorganization.
| ||||||
19 | (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for | ||||||
20 | the 1999-2000
school year only, if a school district | ||||||
21 | experienced a triennial reassessment on
the equalized assessed | ||||||
22 | valuation used in calculating its general State
financial aid | ||||||
23 | apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
| ||||||
24 | Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized | ||||||
25 | Assessed Valuation
that would have been used to calculate the | ||||||
26 | district's 1998-1999 general State
aid. This amount shall equal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the product of the equalized assessed valuation
used to
| ||||||
2 | calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and | ||||||
3 | the district's
Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension | ||||||
4 | Limitation Equalized Assessed
Valuation of the school district | ||||||
5 | as calculated under this paragraph (4) is
less than the | ||||||
6 | district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in | ||||||
7 | calculating
the
district's 1998-1999 general State aid | ||||||
8 | allocation, then for purposes of
calculating the district's | ||||||
9 | general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of
subsection (E),
| ||||||
10 | that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall | ||||||
11 | be utilized to
calculate the district's Available Local | ||||||
12 | Resources.
| ||||||
13 | (5) For school districts having a majority of their | ||||||
14 | equalized assessed
valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage, | ||||||
15 | Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if
the amount of general State | ||||||
16 | aid allocated to the school district for the
1999-2000 school | ||||||
17 | year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of
| ||||||
18 | this Section is less than the amount of general State aid | ||||||
19 | allocated to the
district for the 1998-1999 school year under | ||||||
20 | these subsections, then the
general
State aid of the district | ||||||
21 | for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased
by the | ||||||
22 | difference between these amounts. The total payments made under | ||||||
23 | this
paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall | ||||||
24 | be prorated if they
exceed $14,000,000.
| ||||||
25 | (H) Supplemental General State Aid.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district | ||||||
2 | is allotted
pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school | ||||||
3 | districts shall receive a grant,
paid in conjunction with a | ||||||
4 | district's payments of general State aid, for
supplemental | ||||||
5 | general State aid based upon the concentration level of | ||||||
6 | children
from low-income households within the school | ||||||
7 | district.
Supplemental State aid grants provided for school | ||||||
8 | districts under this
subsection shall be appropriated for | ||||||
9 | distribution to school districts as part
of the same line item | ||||||
10 | in which the general State financial aid of school
districts is | ||||||
11 | appropriated under this Section.
If the appropriation in any | ||||||
12 | fiscal year for general State aid and
supplemental general | ||||||
13 | State aid is insufficient to pay the amounts required
under the | ||||||
14 | general State aid and supplemental general State aid | ||||||
15 | calculations,
then the
State Board of Education shall ensure | ||||||
16 | that
each school district receives the full amount due for | ||||||
17 | general State aid
and the remainder of the appropriation shall | ||||||
18 | be used
for supplemental general State aid, which the State | ||||||
19 | Board of Education shall
calculate and pay to eligible | ||||||
20 | districts on a prorated basis.
| ||||||
21 | (1.5) This paragraph (1.5) applies only to those school | ||||||
22 | years
preceding the 2003-2004 school year.
For purposes of this
| ||||||
23 | subsection (H), the term "Low-Income Concentration Level" | ||||||
24 | shall be the
low-income
eligible pupil count from the most | ||||||
25 | recently available federal census divided by
the Average Daily | ||||||
26 | Attendance of the school district.
If, however, (i) the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal
censuses
in | ||||||
2 | the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district | ||||||
3 | with fewer
than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the | ||||||
4 | percentage change in the total
low-income eligible pupil count | ||||||
5 | of contiguous elementary school districts,
whose boundaries | ||||||
6 | are coterminous with the high school district,
or (ii) a high | ||||||
7 | school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
| ||||||
8 | school
districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the | ||||||
9 | high school
district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most | ||||||
10 | recent federal
censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count | ||||||
11 | and there is a percentage
increase in the total low-income | ||||||
12 | eligible pupil count of a majority of the
elementary school | ||||||
13 | districts in excess of 50% from the 2 most recent
federal | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | school district a distribution of noncategorical funds and | ||||||
17 | other
categorical funds to which an attendance center is | ||||||
18 | entitled under law in
order that the general State aid and | ||||||
19 | supplemental general State aid provided
by application of | ||||||
20 | this subsection supplements rather than supplants the
| ||||||
21 | noncategorical funds and other categorical funds provided | ||||||
22 | by the school
district to the attendance centers.
| ||||||
23 | (d) Any funds made available under this subsection that | ||||||

Funds provided shall not be | ||||||
13 | expended for any political or lobbying purposes
as defined | ||||||
14 | by board rule.

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

period specified herein, the

8 | State aid funds affected by that plan or modified plan | ||||||
9 | shall be withheld by the
State Board of Education until a | ||||||
10 | plan or modified plan is submitted.
| ||||||
11 | If the district fails to distribute State aid to | ||||||
12 | attendance centers in
accordance with an approved plan, the | ||||||
13 | plan for the following year shall
allocate funds, in | ||||||
14 | addition to the funds otherwise required by this
| ||||||
15 | subsection, to those attendance centers which were | ||||||
16 | underfunded during the
previous year in amounts equal to | ||||||
17 | such underfunding.
| ||||||
18 | For purposes of determining compliance with this | ||||||
19 | subsection in relation
to the requirements of attendance | ||||||
20 | center funding, each district subject to the
provisions of | ||||||
21 | this
subsection shall submit as a separate document by | ||||||
22 | December 1 of each year a
report of expenditure data for | ||||||
23 | the prior year in addition to any
modification of its | ||||||
24 | current plan. If it is determined that there has been
a | ||||||
25 | failure to comply with the expenditure provisions of this | ||||||
26 | subsection
regarding contravention or supplanting, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State Superintendent of
Education shall, within 60 days of | ||||||

district and any affected | ||||||
3 | local school council. The district shall within

4 | receipt of that notification inform the State | ||||||
5 | Superintendent of
Education of the remedial or corrective | ||||||
6 | action to be taken, whether by
amendment of the current | ||||||
7 | plan, if feasible, or by adjustment in the plan
for the | ||||||
8 | following year. Failure to provide the expenditure report | ||||||
9 | or the
notification of remedial or corrective action in a | ||||||
10 | timely manner shall
result in a withholding of the affected | ||||||
11 | funds.
| ||||||
12 | The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and | ||||||
13 | regulations
to implement the provisions of this | ||||||
14 | subsection. No funds shall be released

3 | Section)
for the 1997-98 school year,
pursuant to the | ||||||

If a | ||||||
5 | school district qualifies to receive a supplementary payment | ||||||

7 | general State aid in combination with supplemental general
| ||||||

3 | of a public
university that operates a laboratory school under | ||||||
4 | this Section or to any
alternative school that is operated by a | ||||||
5 | regional superintendent of schools,
the State
Board of | ||||||
6 | Education shall require by rule such reporting requirements as | ||||||
7 | it
deems necessary.
| ||||||
8 | As used in this Section, "laboratory school" means a public | ||||||
9 | school which is
created and operated by a public university and | ||||||
10 | approved by the State Board of
Education. The governing board | ||||||
11 | of a public university which receives funds

12 | Board under this subsection (K) may not increase the number of
| ||||||
13 | students enrolled in its laboratory
school from a single | ||||||
14 | district, if that district is already sending 50 or more
| ||||||
15 | students, except under a mutual agreement between the school | ||||||
16 | board of a
student's district of residence and the university | ||||||
17 | which operates the
laboratory school. A laboratory school may | ||||||
18 | not have more than 1,000 students,
excluding students with | ||||||
19 | disabilities in a special education program.
| ||||||
20 | As used in this Section, "alternative school" means a | ||||||
21 | public school which is
created and operated by a Regional | ||||||
22 | Superintendent of Schools and approved by
the State Board of | ||||||
23 | Education. Such alternative schools may offer courses of
| ||||||
24 | instruction for which credit is given in regular school | ||||||
25 | programs, courses to
prepare students for the high school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equivalency testing program or vocational
and occupational | ||||||
2 | training. A regional superintendent of schools may contract
| ||||||
3 | with a school district or a public community college district | ||||||
4 | to operate an
alternative school. An alternative school serving | ||||||
5 | more than one educational
service region may be established by | ||||||
6 | the regional superintendents of schools
of the affected | ||||||
7 | educational service regions. An alternative school
serving | ||||||
8 | more than one educational service region may be operated under | ||||||
9 | such
terms as the regional superintendents of schools of those | ||||||
10 | educational service
regions may agree.
| ||||||
11 | Each laboratory and alternative school shall file, on forms | ||||||
12 | provided by the
State Superintendent of Education, an annual | ||||||
13 | State aid claim which states the
Average Daily Attendance of | ||||||
14 | the school's students by month. The best 3 months'
Average | ||||||
15 | Daily Attendance shall be computed for each school.
The general | ||||||
16 | State aid entitlement shall be computed by multiplying the
| ||||||
17 | applicable Average Daily Attendance by the Foundation Level as | ||||||
18 | determined under
this Section.
| ||||||
19 | (L) Payments, Additional Grants in Aid and Other Requirements.

State aid, shall be | ||||||
24 | reduced by an amount equal to the budget for
the operations of | ||||||
25 | the Authority as certified by the Authority to the State
Board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Education, and an amount equal to such reduction shall be | ||||||
2 | paid
to the Authority created for such district for its | ||||||
3 | operating expenses in
the manner provided in Section 18-11. The | ||||||
4 | remainder
of general State school aid for any such district | ||||||
5 | shall be paid in accordance
with Article 34A when that Article | ||||||
6 | provides for a disposition other than that
provided by this | ||||||

1 | is appointed as the chairperson shall serve for
a term that | ||||||
2 | commences on the date of his or her appointment and expires on | ||||||
3 | the
third Monday of January, 2002, and the remaining 4 members, | ||||||
4 | by lots drawn at
the first meeting of the Board that is
held
| ||||||
5 | after all 5 members are appointed, shall determine 2 of their | ||||||

13 | shall be filled in the same manner as
original appointments. If | ||||||
14 | a vacancy in membership occurs at a time when the
Senate is not | ||||||

the next meeting of the Senate, when he or she shall | ||||||
17 | appoint, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, a | ||||||
18 | person to fill that membership for the
unexpired term. If the | ||||||
19 | Senate is not in session when the initial appointments
are | ||||||
20 | made, those appointments shall
be made as in the case of | ||||||
21 | vacancies.
| ||||||
22 | The Education Funding Advisory Board shall be deemed | ||||||
23 | established,
and the initial
members appointed by the Governor | ||||||
24 | to serve as members of the
Board shall take office,
on the date | ||||||
25 | that the
Governor makes his or her appointment of the fifth | ||||||
26 | initial member of the
Board, whether those initial members are |

14 | subsection (H) of this Section
for districts with high | ||||||
15 | concentrations of children from poverty. The
recommended | ||||||
16 | foundation level shall be determined based on a methodology | ||||||
17 | which
incorporates the basic education expenditures of | ||||||
18 | low-spending schools
exhibiting high academic performance. The | ||||||
19 | Education Funding Advisory Board

20 | Sec. 19-1. Debt limitations of school districts.
| ||||||
21 | (a) School districts shall not be subject to the provisions | ||||||
22 | limiting their
indebtedness prescribed in "An Act to limit the | ||||||
23 | indebtedness of counties having
a population of less than | ||||||
24 | 500,000 and townships, school districts and other
municipal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | corporations having a population of less than 300,000", | ||||||

February 15, 1928, as amended.
| ||||||
3 | No school districts maintaining grades K through 8 or 9 | ||||||
4 | through 12
shall become indebted in any manner or for any | ||||||
5 | purpose to an amount,
including existing indebtedness, in the | ||||||
6 | aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the
value of the taxable property | ||||||
7 | therein to be ascertained by the last assessment
for State and | ||||||
8 | county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum | ||||||
9 | that
is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 | ||||||
10 | equalized assessed
valuation by the debt limitation percentage | ||||||
11 | in effect on January 1, 1979,
previous to the incurring of such | ||||||
12 | indebtedness.
| ||||||
13 | No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall | ||||||
14 | become
indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount, | ||||||
15 | including
existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding | ||||||
16 | 13.8% on the value of
the taxable property therein to be | ||||||
17 | ascertained by the last assessment
for State and county taxes | ||||||
18 | or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that
is produced | ||||||
19 | by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed
| ||||||
20 | valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on | ||||||
21 | January 1, 1979,
previous to the incurring of such | ||||||
22 | indebtedness.
| ||||||
23 | No partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article | ||||||
24 | 11E of this Code, shall become indebted in any manner or for | ||||||
25 | any purpose in an amount, including existing indebtedness, in | ||||||
26 | the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property of the entire district, to be ascertained by the last | ||||||
2 | assessment for State and county taxes, plus an amount, | ||||||
3 | including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding | ||||||
4 | 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of that portion of | ||||||
5 | the district included in the elementary and high school | ||||||
6 | classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for | ||||||
7 | State and county taxes. Moreover, no partial elementary unit | ||||||
8 | district, as defined in Article 11E of this Code, shall become | ||||||
9 | indebted on account of bonds issued by the district for high | ||||||
10 | school purposes in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of | ||||||
11 | the taxable property of the entire district, to be ascertained | ||||||
12 | by the last assessment for State and county taxes, nor shall | ||||||
13 | the district become indebted on account of bonds issued by the | ||||||
14 | district for elementary purposes in the aggregate exceeding | ||||||
15 | 6.9% of the value of the taxable property for that portion of | ||||||
16 | the district included in the elementary and high school | ||||||
17 | classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for | ||||||
18 | State and county taxes.
| ||||||
19 | Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the | ||||||
20 | contrary, in any
case in which the voters of a school district | ||||||
21 | have approved a proposition
for the issuance of bonds of such | ||||||
22 | school district at an election held prior
to January 1, 1979, | ||||||
23 | and all of the bonds approved at such election have
not been | ||||||
24 | issued, the debt limitation applicable to such school district
| ||||||
25 | during the calendar year 1979 shall be computed by multiplying | ||||||
26 | the value
of taxable property therein, including personal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property, as ascertained
by the last assessment for State and | ||||||
2 | county taxes, previous to the incurring
of such indebtedness, | ||||||
3 | by the percentage limitation applicable to such school
district | ||||||
4 | under the provisions of this subsection (a).
| ||||||
5 | (b) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in | ||||||
6 | subsection (a)
of this Section, additional indebtedness may be | ||||||
7 | incurred in an amount
not to exceed the estimated cost of | ||||||
8 | acquiring or improving school sites
or constructing and | ||||||
9 | equipping additional building facilities under the
following | ||||||
10 | conditions:
| ||||||
11 | (1) Whenever the enrollment of students for the next | ||||||
12 | school year is
estimated by the board of education to | ||||||
13 | increase over the actual present
enrollment by not less | ||||||
14 | than 35% or by not less than 200 students or the
actual | ||||||
15 | present enrollment of students has increased over the | ||||||
16 | previous
school year by not less than 35% or by not less | ||||||
17 | than 200 students and
the board of education determines | ||||||
18 | that additional school sites or
building facilities are | ||||||
19 | required as a result of such increase in
enrollment; and
| ||||||
20 | (2) When the Regional Superintendent of Schools having | ||||||
21 | jurisdiction
over the school district and the State | ||||||
22 | Superintendent of Education
concur in such enrollment | ||||||
23 | projection or increase and approve the need
for such | ||||||
24 | additional school sites or building facilities and the
| ||||||
25 | estimated cost thereof; and
| ||||||
26 | (3) When the voters in the school district approve a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proposition for
the issuance of bonds for the purpose of | ||||||
2 | acquiring or improving such
needed school sites or | ||||||
3 | constructing and equipping such needed additional
building | ||||||
4 | facilities at an election called and held for that purpose.
| ||||||
5 | Notice of such an election shall state that the amount of | ||||||
6 | indebtedness
proposed to be incurred would exceed the debt | ||||||
7 | limitation otherwise
applicable to the school district. | ||||||
8 | The ballot for such proposition
shall state what percentage | ||||||
9 | of the equalized assessed valuation will be
outstanding in | ||||||
10 | bonds if the proposed issuance of bonds is approved by
the | ||||||
11 | voters; or
| ||||||
12 | (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) | ||||||
13 | through (3) of
this subsection (b), if the school board | ||||||
14 | determines that additional
facilities are needed to | ||||||
15 | provide a quality educational program and not
less than 2/3 | ||||||
16 | of those voting in an election called by the school board
| ||||||
17 | on the question approve the issuance of bonds for the | ||||||
18 | construction of
such facilities, the school district may | ||||||
19 | issue bonds for this
purpose; or
| ||||||
20 | (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) | ||||||
21 | through (3) of this
subsection (b), if (i) the school | ||||||
22 | district has previously availed itself of the
provisions of | ||||||
23 | paragraph (4) of this subsection (b) to enable it to issue | ||||||
24 | bonds,
(ii) the voters of the school district have not | ||||||
25 | defeated a proposition for the
issuance of bonds since the | ||||||
26 | referendum described in paragraph (4) of this
subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) was held, (iii) the school board determines that | ||||||
2 | additional
facilities are needed to provide a quality | ||||||
3 | educational program, and (iv) a
majority of those voting in | ||||||
4 | an election called by the school board on the
question | ||||||
5 | approve the issuance of bonds for the construction of such | ||||||
6 | facilities,
the school district may issue bonds for this | ||||||
7 | purpose.
| ||||||
8 | In no event shall the indebtedness incurred pursuant to | ||||||
9 | this
subsection (b) and the existing indebtedness of the school | ||||||
10 | district
exceed 15% of the value of the taxable property | ||||||
11 | therein to be
ascertained by the last assessment for State and | ||||||
12 | county taxes, previous
to the incurring of such indebtedness | ||||||
13 | or, until January 1, 1983, if greater,
the sum that is produced | ||||||
14 | by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized
assessed | ||||||
15 | valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on | ||||||
16 | January 1,
1979.
| ||||||
17 | The indebtedness provided for by this subsection (b) shall | ||||||
18 | be in
addition to and in excess of any other debt limitation.
| ||||||
19 | (c) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in | ||||||
20 | subsection (a)
of this Section, in any case in which a public | ||||||
21 | question for the issuance
of bonds of a proposed school | ||||||
22 | district maintaining grades kindergarten
through 12 received | ||||||
23 | at least 60% of the valid ballots cast on the question at
an | ||||||
24 | election held on or prior to November 8, 1994, and in which the | ||||||
25 | bonds
approved at such election have not been issued, the | ||||||
26 | school district pursuant to
the requirements of Section 11A-10 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (now repealed) may issue the total amount of bonds approved
at | ||||||
2 | such election for the purpose stated in the question.
| ||||||
3 | (d) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in | ||||||
4 | subsection (a)
of this Section, a school district that meets | ||||||
5 | all the criteria set forth in
paragraphs (1) and (2) of this | ||||||
6 | subsection (d) may incur an additional
indebtedness in an | ||||||
7 | amount not to exceed $4,500,000, even though the amount of
the | ||||||
8 | additional indebtedness authorized by this subsection (d), | ||||||
9 | when incurred
and added to the aggregate amount of indebtedness | ||||||
10 | of the district existing
immediately prior to the district | ||||||
11 | incurring the additional indebtedness
authorized by this | ||||||
12 | subsection (d), causes the aggregate indebtedness of the
| ||||||
13 | district to exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to | ||||||
14 | that district
under subsection (a):
| ||||||
15 | (1) The additional indebtedness authorized by this | ||||||
16 | subsection (d) is
incurred by the school district through | ||||||
17 | the issuance of bonds under and in
accordance with Section | ||||||
18 | 17-2.11a for the purpose of replacing a school
building | ||||||
19 | which, because of mine subsidence damage, has been closed | ||||||
20 | as provided
in paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) or | ||||||
21 | through the issuance of bonds under
and in accordance with | ||||||
22 | Section 19-3 for the purpose of increasing the size of,
or | ||||||
23 | providing for additional functions in, such replacement | ||||||
24 | school buildings, or
both such purposes.
| ||||||
25 | (2) The bonds issued by the school district as provided | ||||||
26 | in paragraph (1)
above are issued for the purposes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | construction by the school district of
a new school | ||||||
2 | building pursuant to Section 17-2.11, to replace an | ||||||
3 | existing
school building that, because of mine subsidence | ||||||
4 | damage, is closed as of the
end of the 1992-93 school year | ||||||
5 | pursuant to action of the regional
superintendent of | ||||||
6 | schools of the educational service region in which the
| ||||||
7 | district is located under Section 3-14.22 or are issued for | ||||||
8 | the purpose of
increasing the size of, or providing for | ||||||
9 | additional functions in, the new
school building being | ||||||
10 | constructed to replace a school building closed as the
| ||||||
11 | result of mine subsidence damage, or both such purposes.
| ||||||

any other law, bonds in not to exceed the | ||||||
15 | aggregate amount of $5,500,000 and
issued by a school district | ||||||
16 | meeting the following criteria shall not be
considered | ||||||
17 | indebtedness for purposes of any statutory limitation and may | ||||||
18 | be
issued in an amount or amounts, including existing | ||||||
19 | indebtedness, in excess of
any heretofore or hereafter imposed | ||||||
20 | statutory limitation as to indebtedness:

21 | (1) At the time of the sale of such bonds, the board of | ||||||
22 | education of the
district shall have determined by | ||||||

| ||||||
26 | (2) The board of education shall also determine by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resolution that the
improvements to be financed with the | ||||||
2 | proceeds of the bonds are needed because
of the projected | ||||||
3 | enrollment increases.
| ||||||
4 | (3) The board of education shall also determine by | ||||||
5 | resolution that the
projected increases in enrollment are | ||||||
6 | the result of improvements made or
expected to be made to | ||||||
7 | passenger rail facilities located in the school
district.
| ||||||
8 | Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this | ||||||
9 | Section or of any other law, a school district that has availed | ||||||

assessed value of the | ||||||
20 | taxable property of a school district and issued by a

limitation and may be issued pursuant | ||||||
24 | to resolution of the school board in an
amount or amounts, | ||||||
25 | including existing indebtedness, in
excess of any statutory | ||||||

7 | nondiscriminatory admissions policy.
| ||||||
8 | (b) In the case of a proposal to establish a charter school | ||||||

16 | certified teachers and a petition in support of the
charter | ||||||
17 | school signed by parents and guardians and, if applicable, by a | ||||||
18 | vote of

13 | school district in which the proposed

16 | 4.0 pCi/L or above are found, it is recommended that affected | ||||||
17 | areas be mitigated by a licensed radon mitigation professional | ||||||
18 | with respect to both design and installation. IEMA may provide | ||||||
19 | the school district with a list of licensed radon mitigation | ||||||
20 | professionals. | ||||||

2 | cardiopulmonary resuscitation (which training must be in
| ||||||
3 | accordance with standards of the
American Red Cross, the | ||||||

available to all elementary | ||||||
24 | and secondary schools in this State
instructional materials and | ||||||
25 | guidelines which will assist the schools in
incorporating the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | districts may offer, as part of existing curricula during
the | ||||||

| ||||||
2 | Sec. 2-6. License issuance and renewal; fee.
| ||||||
3 | (a) Beginning July 1, 2003, licenses shall be renewed every | ||||||
4 | year on the
anniversary of the date of issuance of the original | ||||||
5 | license, or the common renewal date of the Nationwide Mortgage | ||||||
6 | Licensing System and Registry as adopted by the Director. To | ||||||
7 | comply with the common renewal date of the Nationwide Mortgage | ||||||
8 | Licensing System and Registry, the term of existing licenses | ||||||
9 | may be extended or shortened with applicable fees prorated | ||||||
10 | accordingly.
Properly completed renewal application forms and | ||||||
11 | filing fees must be received
by the Secretary 60 days prior to | ||||||
12 | the renewal date.
| ||||||
13 | (b) It shall be the responsibility of each licensee to | ||||||
14 | accomplish renewal
of its license; failure of the licensee to | ||||||
15 | receive renewal forms absent a
request sent by certified mail | ||||||
16 | for such forms will not waive said
responsibility. Failure by a | ||||||
17 | licensee to submit a properly completed
renewal application | ||||||
18 | form and fees in a timely fashion, absent a written
extension | ||||||
19 | from the Secretary, will result in the assessment of
additional | ||||||
20 | fees, as follows:
| ||||||
21 | (1) A fee of $567.50 will be assessed to the licensee | ||||||
22 | 30 days
after the
proper renewal date and $1,135 each month | ||||||
23 | thereafter, until the
license is
either renewed or expires | ||||||
24 | pursuant to Section 2-6, subsections (c) and (d),
of this | ||||||
25 | Act.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) Such fee will be assessed without prior notice to | ||||||
2 | the licensee, but
will be assessed only in cases wherein | ||||||
3 | the Secretary has in his or her
possession documentation of | ||||||
4 | the licensee's continuing activity for which
the unrenewed | ||||||
5 | license was issued.
| ||||||
6 | (c) A license which is not renewed by the date required in | ||||||
7 | this Section
shall automatically become inactive. No activity | ||||||
8 | regulated by this Act
shall be conducted by the licensee when a | ||||||
9 | license becomes inactive. The Commissioner may require the | ||||||
10 | licensee to provide a plan for the disposition of any | ||||||
11 | residential mortgage loans not closed or funded when the | ||||||
12 | license becomes inactive. The Commissioner may allow a licensee | ||||||
13 | with an inactive license to conduct activities regulated by | ||||||
14 | this Act for the sole purpose of assisting borrowers in the | ||||||
15 | closing or funding of loans for which the loan application was | ||||||
16 | taken from a borrower while the license was active. An
inactive | ||||||
17 | license may be reactivated by the Commissioner upon payment of | ||||||
18 | the renewal fee, and payment
of a reactivation fee equal to the | ||||||
19 | renewal fee.
| ||||||
20 | (d) A license which is not renewed within one year of | ||||||
21 | becoming inactive
shall expire.
| ||||||
22 | (e) A licensee ceasing an activity or activities regulated | ||||||
23 | by this Act
and desiring to no longer be licensed shall so | ||||||
24 | inform the Commissioner in
writing and, at the same time, | ||||||
25 | convey the license and all other symbols or
indicia of | ||||||
26 | licensure. The licensee shall include a plan for the withdrawal
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from regulated business, including a timetable for the | ||||||
2 | disposition of the
business, and comply with the surrender | ||||||
3 | guidelines or requirements of the Director. Upon receipt of | ||||||
4 | such written notice, the Commissioner shall post the | ||||||
5 | cancellation or issue
a certified statement canceling the | ||||||
6 | license.

health care model | ||||||
22 | in substantial compliance with this Act and rules and
(ii) the | ||||||
23 | health and safety of the patients of the alternative
health | ||||||
24 | care model will be protected during the period for which the | ||||||
25 | provisional
license is issued. The Department shall advise the | ||||||
26 | licensee of
the conditions under which the provisional license |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is issued, including
the manner in which the alternative health | ||||||
2 | care model fails to comply with
the provisions of this Act and | ||||||
3 | rules, and the time within which the changes
and corrections | ||||||
4 | necessary for the alternative health care model to
| ||||||
5 | substantially comply with this Act and rules shall be | ||||||
6 | completed.
| ||||||
7 | (d) Alternative health care models shall seek | ||||||
8 | certification under Titles

facilities | ||||||
16 | participating in the demonstration program. The Department of | ||||||
17 | Healthcare and Family Services shall keep a record of services | ||||||
18 | provided under the demonstration
program to recipients of | ||||||
19 | medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code
and shall | ||||||
20 | submit an annual report of that information to the Illinois
| ||||||
21 | Department of Public Health.
| ||||||
22 | (e) Alternative health care models shall, to the extent | ||||||
23 | possible,
link and integrate their services with nearby health | ||||||
24 | care facilities.
| ||||||
25 | (f) Each alternative health care model shall implement a | ||||||
26 | quality
assurance program with measurable benefits and at |

| ||||||
22 | (1) Within 5 days of the effective date of this amendatory |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act of 1982,
or, if later, within 5 days after the filing of a | ||||||
2 | notice of appeal of an
order of liquidation, which order has | ||||||
3 | not been stayed, the Director shall
present for the circuit | ||||||
4 | court's approval a plan for the continued performance
of the | ||||||
5 | defendant company's policy claims obligations, including the | ||||||

to defend insureds under liability insurance policies, | ||||||

payment of policy claims | ||||||
9 | obligations in the normal course of events, notwithstanding
the | ||||||
10 | grounds alleged in support of the order of liquidation | ||||||

12 | company's financial condition
will not, in the judgment of the | ||||||
13 | Director, support the full performance
of all policy claims | ||||||
14 | obligations during the appeal pendency period, the
plan may | ||||||
15 | prefer the claims of certain policyholders and claimants over | ||||||
16 | creditors
and interested parties as well as other policyholders | ||||||
17 | and claimants, as
the Director finds to be fair and equitable | ||||||
18 | considering the relative circumstances
of such policyholders | ||||||
19 | and claimants. The circuit court shall examine the
plan | ||||||
20 | submitted by the Director and if it finds the plan to be in the | ||||||
21 | best
interests of the parties, the circuit court shall approve | ||||||
22 | the plan.
No action shall lie against the Director or any of | ||||||
23 | his deputies, agents,
clerks, assistants or attorneys by any | ||||||
24 | party based on preference in an appeal
pendency plan approved | ||||||
25 | by the circuit court.

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or affect the obligations
of any insurance guaranty fund which | ||||||
2 | under its own state law is required
to pay covered claims | ||||||
3 | obligations during the appeal pendency period.

10 | 95th General Assembly must provide individuals under 21 years | ||||||
11 | of age coverage for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders | ||||||
12 | and for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders to the | ||||||
13 | extent that the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum | ||||||
14 | disorders are not already covered by the policy of accident and | ||||||
15 | health insurance or managed care plan. | ||||||
16 | (b) Coverage provided under this Section shall be subject | ||||||
17 | to a maximum benefit of $36,000 per year, but shall not be | ||||||
18 | subject to any limits on the number of visits to a service | ||||||
19 | provider. After December 30, 2009, the Director of the Division | ||||||
20 | of Insurance shall, on an annual basis, adjust the maximum | ||||||
21 | benefit for inflation using the Medical Care Component of the | ||||||
22 | United States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All | ||||||
23 | Urban Consumers. Payments made by an insurer on behalf of a | ||||||
24 | covered individual for any care, treatment, intervention, | ||||||
25 | service, or item, the provision of which was for the treatment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of a health condition not diagnosed as an autism spectrum | ||||||
2 | disorder, shall not be applied toward any maximum benefit | ||||||
3 | established under this subsection. | ||||||
4 | (c) Coverage under this Section shall be subject to | ||||||
5 | copayment, deductible, and coinsurance provisions of a policy | ||||||
6 | of accident and health insurance or managed care plan to the | ||||||
7 | extent that other medical services covered by the policy of | ||||||
8 | accident and health insurance or managed care plan are subject | ||||||
9 | to these provisions. | ||||||
10 | (d) This Section shall not be construed as limiting | ||||||
11 | benefits that are otherwise available to an individual under a | ||||||
12 | policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan | ||||||
13 | and benefits provided under this Section may not be subject to | ||||||
14 | dollar limits, deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance | ||||||
15 | provisions that are less favorable to the insured than the | ||||||
16 | dollar limits, deductibles, or coinsurance provisions that | ||||||
17 | apply to physical illness generally. | ||||||
18 | (e) An insurer may not deny or refuse to provide otherwise | ||||||
19 | covered services, or refuse to renew, refuse to reissue, or | ||||||
20 | otherwise terminate or restrict coverage under an individual | ||||||
21 | contract to provide services to an individual because the | ||||||
22 | individual or their dependent is diagnosed with an autism | ||||||
23 | spectrum disorder or due to the individual utilizing benefits | ||||||
24 | in this Section. | ||||||
25 | (f) Upon request of the reimbursing insurer, a provider of | ||||||
26 | treatment for autism spectrum disorders shall furnish medical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | records, clinical notes, or other necessary data that | ||||||
2 | substantiate that initial or continued medical treatment is | ||||||

4 | status. When treatment is anticipated to require continued | ||||||
5 | services to achieve demonstrable progress, the insurer may | ||||||
6 | request a treatment plan consisting of diagnosis, proposed | ||||||
7 | treatment by type, frequency, anticipated duration of | ||||||
8 | treatment, the anticipated outcomes stated as goals, and the | ||||||
9 | frequency by which the treatment plan will be updated. | ||||||
10 | (g) When making a determination of medical necessity for a | ||||||
11 | treatment modality for autism spectrum disorders, an insurer | ||||||
12 | must make the determination in a manner that is consistent with | ||||||
13 | the manner used to make that determination with respect to | ||||||
14 | other diseases or illnesses covered under the policy, including | ||||||
15 | an appeals process. During the appeals process, any challenge | ||||||
16 | to medical necessity must be viewed as reasonable only if the | ||||||
17 | review includes a physician with expertise in the most current | ||||||
18 | and effective treatment modalities for autism spectrum | ||||||
19 | disorders. | ||||||
20 | (h) Coverage for medically necessary early intervention | ||||||
21 | services must be delivered by certified early intervention | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 415. The Public Utilities Act is amended by | ||||||
2 | changing Sections 8-103, 19-105, and 19-112 and by setting | ||||||
3 | forth, renumbering, and changing multiple versions of Section | ||||||
4 | 16-111.8 as follows:
| ||||||
5 | (220 ILCS 5/8-103)
| ||||||
6 | Sec. 8-103. Energy efficiency and demand-response | ||||||
7 | measures. | ||||||
8 | (a) It is the policy of the State that electric utilities | ||||||
9 | are required to use cost-effective energy efficiency and | ||||||
10 | demand-response measures to reduce delivery load. Requiring | ||||||
11 | investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and | ||||||
12 | demand-response measures will reduce direct and indirect costs | ||||||
13 | to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and by | ||||||
14 | avoiding or delaying the need for new generation, transmission, | ||||||
15 | and distribution infrastructure. It serves the public interest | ||||||
16 | to allow electric utilities to recover costs for reasonably and | ||||||
17 | prudently incurred expenses for energy efficiency and | ||||||
18 | demand-response measures. As used in this Section, | ||||||
19 | "cost-effective" means that the measures satisfy the total | ||||||
20 | resource cost test. The low-income measures described in | ||||||
21 | subsection (f)(4) of this Section shall not be required to meet | ||||||
22 | the total resource cost test. For purposes of this Section, the | ||||||
23 | terms "energy-efficiency", "demand-response", "electric | ||||||
24 | utility", and "total resource cost test" shall have the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | meanings set forth in the Illinois Power Agency Act. For | ||||||
2 | purposes of this Section, the amount per kilowatthour means the | ||||||
3 | total amount paid for electric service expressed on a per | ||||||
4 | kilowatthour basis. For purposes of this Section, the total | ||||||
5 | amount paid for electric service includes without limitation | ||||||
6 | estimated amounts paid for supply, transmission, distribution, | ||||||
7 | surcharges, and add-on-taxes. | ||||||
8 | (b) Electric utilities shall implement cost-effective | ||||||
9 | energy efficiency measures to meet the following incremental | ||||||
10 | annual energy savings goals: | ||||||
11 | (1) 0.2% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
12 | June 1, 2008; | ||||||
13 | (2) 0.4% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
14 | June 1, 2009; | ||||||
15 | (3) 0.6% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
16 | June 1, 2010; | ||||||
17 | (4) 0.8% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
18 | June 1, 2011; | ||||||
19 | (5) 1% of energy delivered in the year commencing June | ||||||
20 | 1, 2012; | ||||||
21 | (6) 1.4% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
22 | June 1, 2013; | ||||||
23 | (7) 1.8% of energy delivered in the year commencing | ||||||
24 | June 1, 2014; and | ||||||
25 | (8) 2% of energy delivered in the year commencing June | ||||||
26 | 1, 2015 and each year thereafter. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) Electric utilities shall implement cost-effective | ||||||
2 | demand-response measures to reduce peak demand by 0.1% over the | ||||||
3 | prior year for eligible retail customers, as defined in Section | ||||||
4 | 16-111.5 of this Act, and for customers that elect hourly | ||||||
5 | service from the utility pursuant to Section 16-107 of this | ||||||
6 | Act, provided those customers have not been declared | ||||||
7 | competitive. This requirement commences June 1, 2008 and | ||||||
8 | continues for 10 years. | ||||||
9 | (d) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsections (b) | ||||||
10 | and (c) of this Section, an electric utility shall reduce the | ||||||
11 | amount of energy efficiency and demand-response measures | ||||||
12 | implemented in any single year by an amount necessary to limit | ||||||
13 | the estimated average increase in the amounts paid by retail | ||||||
14 | customers in connection with electric service due to the cost | ||||||
15 | of those measures to: | ||||||
16 | (1) in 2008, no more than 0.5% of the amount paid per | ||||||
17 | kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May | ||||||
18 | 31, 2007; | ||||||
19 | (2) in 2009, the greater of an additional 0.5% of the | ||||||
20 | amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the | ||||||
21 | year ending May 31, 2008 or 1% of the amount paid per | ||||||
22 | kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May | ||||||
23 | 31, 2007; | ||||||
24 | (3) in 2010, the greater of an additional 0.5% of the | ||||||
25 | amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the | ||||||
26 | year ending May 31, 2009 or 1.5% of the amount paid per |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May | ||||||
2 | 31, 2007; | ||||||
3 | (4) in 2011, the greater of an additional 0.5% of the | ||||||
4 | amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the | ||||||
5 | year ending May 31, 2010 or 2% of the amount paid per | ||||||
6 | kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May | ||||||
7 | 31, 2007; and
| ||||||
8 | (5) thereafter, the amount of energy efficiency and | ||||||
9 | demand-response measures implemented for any single year | ||||||
10 | shall be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the | ||||||
11 | estimated average net increase due to the cost of these | ||||||
12 | measures included in the amounts paid by eligible retail | ||||||
13 | customers in connection with electric service to no more | ||||||
14 | than the greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per | ||||||
15 | kilowatthour by those customers during the year ending May | ||||||
16 | 31, 2007 or the incremental amount per kilowatthour paid | ||||||
17 | for these measures in 2011.
| ||||||
18 | No later than June 30, 2011, the Commission shall review | ||||||
19 | the limitation on the amount of energy efficiency and | ||||||
20 | demand-response measures implemented pursuant to this Section | ||||||
21 | and report to the General Assembly its findings as to whether | ||||||
22 | that limitation unduly constrains the procurement of energy | ||||||
23 | efficiency and demand-response measures. | ||||||
24 | (e) Electric utilities shall be responsible for overseeing | ||||||
25 | the design, development, and filing of energy efficiency and | ||||||
26 | demand-response plans with the Commission. Electric utilities |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall implement 100% of the demand-response measures in the | ||||||
2 | plans. Electric utilities shall implement 75% of the energy | ||||||
3 | efficiency measures approved by the Commission, and may, as | ||||||
4 | part of that implementation, outsource various aspects of | ||||||
5 | program development and implementation. The remaining 25% of | ||||||
6 | those energy efficiency measures approved by the Commission | ||||||
7 | shall be implemented by the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
8 | Opportunity, and must be designed in conjunction with the | ||||||
9 | utility and the filing process. The Department may outsource | ||||||
10 | development and implementation of energy efficiency measures. | ||||||
11 | A minimum of 10% of the entire portfolio of cost-effective | ||||||
12 | energy efficiency measures shall be procured from units of | ||||||
13 | local government, municipal corporations, school districts, | ||||||
14 | and community college districts. The Department shall | ||||||
15 | coordinate the implementation of these measures. | ||||||
16 | The apportionment of the dollars to cover the costs to | ||||||
17 | implement the Department's share of the portfolio of energy | ||||||
18 | efficiency measures shall be made to the Department once the | ||||||
19 | Department has executed grants or contracts for energy | ||||||
20 | efficiency measures and provided supporting documentation for | ||||||
21 | those grants and the contracts to the utility. | ||||||
22 | The details of the measures implemented by the Department | ||||||
23 | shall be submitted by the Department to the Commission in | ||||||
24 | connection with the utility's filing regarding the energy | ||||||
25 | efficiency and demand-response measures that the utility | ||||||
26 | implements. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A utility providing approved energy efficiency and | ||||||
2 | demand-response measures in the State shall be permitted to | ||||||
3 | recover costs of those measures through an automatic adjustment | ||||||
4 | clause tariff filed with and approved by the Commission. The | ||||||
5 | tariff shall be established outside the context of a general | ||||||
6 | rate case. Each year the Commission shall initiate a review to | ||||||
7 | reconcile any amounts collected with the actual costs and to | ||||||
8 | determine the required adjustment to the annual tariff factor | ||||||
9 | to match annual expenditures. | ||||||
10 | Each utility shall include, in its recovery of costs, the | ||||||
11 | costs estimated for both the utility's and the Department's | ||||||
12 | implementation of energy efficiency and demand-response | ||||||
13 | measures. Costs collected by the utility for measures | ||||||
14 | implemented by the Department shall be submitted to the | ||||||
15 | Department pursuant to Section 605-323 of the Civil | ||||||
16 | Administrative Code of Illinois and shall be used by the | ||||||
17 | Department solely for the purpose of implementing these | ||||||
18 | measures. A utility shall not be required to advance any moneys | ||||||
19 | to the Department but only to forward such funds as it has | ||||||
20 | collected. The Department shall report to the Commission on an | ||||||
21 | annual basis regarding the costs actually incurred by the | ||||||
22 | Department in the implementation of the measures. Any changes | ||||||
23 | to the costs of energy efficiency measures as a result of plan | ||||||
24 | modifications shall be appropriately reflected in amounts | ||||||
25 | recovered by the utility and turned over to the Department. | ||||||
26 | The portfolio of measures, administered by both the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | utilities and the Department, shall, in combination, be | ||||||
2 | designed to achieve the annual savings targets described in | ||||||
3 | subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, as modified by | ||||||
4 | subsection (d) of this Section. | ||||||
5 | The utility and the Department shall agree upon a | ||||||
6 | reasonable portfolio of measures and determine the measurable | ||||||
7 | corresponding percentage of the savings goals associated with | ||||||
8 | measures implemented by the utility or Department. | ||||||
9 | No utility shall be assessed a penalty under subsection (f) | ||||||
10 | of this Section for failure to make a timely filing if that | ||||||
11 | failure is the result of a lack of agreement with the | ||||||
12 | Department with respect to the allocation of responsibilities | ||||||
13 | or related costs or target assignments. In that case, the | ||||||
14 | Department and the utility shall file their respective plans | ||||||
15 | with the Commission and the Commission shall determine an | ||||||
16 | appropriate division of measures and programs that meets the | ||||||
17 | requirements of this Section. | ||||||
18 | If the Department is unable to meet incremental annual | ||||||
19 | performance goals for the portion of the portfolio implemented | ||||||
20 | by the Department, then the utility and the Department shall | ||||||
21 | jointly submit a modified filing to the Commission explaining | ||||||
22 | the performance shortfall and recommending an appropriate | ||||||
23 | course going forward, including any program modifications that | ||||||
24 | may be appropriate in light of the evaluations conducted under | ||||||
25 | item (7) of subsection (f) of this Section. In this case, the | ||||||
26 | utility obligation to collect the Department's costs and turn |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | over those funds to the Department under this subsection (e) | ||||||
2 | shall continue only if the Commission approves the | ||||||
3 | modifications to the plan proposed by the Department. | ||||||
4 | (f) No later than November 15, 2007, each electric utility | ||||||
5 | shall file an energy efficiency and demand-response plan with | ||||||
6 | the Commission to meet the energy efficiency and | ||||||
7 | demand-response standards for 2008 through 2010. Every 3 years | ||||||
8 | thereafter, each electric utility shall file, no later than | ||||||
9 | October 1, an energy efficiency and demand-response plan with | ||||||
10 | the Commission. If a utility does not file such a plan by | ||||||
11 | October 1 of an applicable year, it shall face a penalty of | ||||||
12 | $100,000 per day until the plan is filed. Each utility's plan | ||||||
13 | shall set forth the utility's proposals to meet the utility's | ||||||
14 | portion of the energy efficiency standards identified in | ||||||
15 | subsection (b) and the demand-response standards identified in | ||||||
16 | subsection (c) of this Section as modified by subsections (d) | ||||||
17 | and (e), taking into account the unique circumstances of the | ||||||
18 | utility's service territory. The Commission shall seek public | ||||||
19 | comment on the utility's plan and shall issue an order | ||||||
20 | approving or disapproving each plan within 3 months after its | ||||||
21 | submission. If the Commission disapproves a plan, the | ||||||
22 | Commission shall, within 30 days, describe in detail the | ||||||
23 | reasons for the disapproval and describe a path by which the | ||||||
24 | utility may file a revised draft of the plan to address the | ||||||
25 | Commission's concerns satisfactorily. If the utility does not | ||||||
26 | refile with the Commission within 60 days, the utility shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subject to penalties at a rate of $100,000 per day until the | ||||||
2 | plan is filed. This process shall continue, and penalties shall | ||||||
3 | accrue, until the utility has successfully filed a portfolio of | ||||||
4 | energy efficiency and demand-response measures. Penalties | ||||||
5 | shall be deposited into the Energy Efficiency Trust Fund. In | ||||||
6 | submitting proposed energy efficiency and demand-response | ||||||
7 | plans and funding levels to meet the savings goals adopted by | ||||||
8 | this Act the utility shall: | ||||||
9 | (1) Demonstrate that its proposed energy efficiency | ||||||
10 | and demand-response measures will achieve the requirements | ||||||
11 | that are identified in subsections (b) and (c) of this | ||||||
12 | Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e). | ||||||
13 | (2) Present specific proposals to implement new | ||||||
14 | building and appliance standards that have been placed into | ||||||
15 | effect. | ||||||
16 | (3) Present estimates of the total amount paid for | ||||||
17 | electric service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis | ||||||
18 | associated with the proposed portfolio of measures | ||||||
19 | designed to meet the requirements that are identified in | ||||||
20 | subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, as modified by | ||||||
21 | subsections (d) and (e). | ||||||
22 | (4) Coordinate with the Department to present a | ||||||
23 | portfolio of energy efficiency measures proportionate to | ||||||
24 | the share of total annual utility revenues in Illinois from | ||||||
25 | households at or below 150% of the poverty level. The | ||||||
26 | energy efficiency programs shall be targeted to households |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with incomes at or below 80% of area median income. | ||||||
2 | (5) Demonstrate that its overall portfolio of energy | ||||||
3 | efficiency and demand-response measures, not including | ||||||
4 | programs covered by item (4) of this subsection (f), are | ||||||
5 | cost-effective using the total resource cost test and | ||||||
6 | represent a diverse cross-section of opportunities for | ||||||
7 | customers of all rate classes to participate in the | ||||||
8 | programs. | ||||||
9 | (6) Include a proposed cost-recovery tariff mechanism | ||||||
10 | to fund the proposed energy efficiency and demand-response | ||||||
11 | measures and to ensure the recovery of the prudently and | ||||||
12 | reasonably incurred costs of Commission-approved programs. | ||||||
13 | (7) Provide for an annual independent evaluation of the | ||||||
14 | performance of the cost-effectiveness of the utility's | ||||||
15 | portfolio of measures and the Department's portfolio of | ||||||
16 | measures, as well as a full review of the 3-year results of | ||||||
17 | the broader net program impacts and, to the extent | ||||||
18 | practical, for adjustment of the measures on a | ||||||
19 | going-forward basis as a result of the evaluations. The | ||||||
20 | resources dedicated to evaluation shall not exceed 3% of | ||||||
21 | portfolio resources in any given year. | ||||||
22 | (g) No more than 3% of energy efficiency and | ||||||
23 | demand-response program revenue may be allocated for | ||||||
24 | demonstration of breakthrough equipment and devices. | ||||||
25 | (h) This Section does not apply to an electric utility that | ||||||
26 | on December 31, 2005 provided electric service to fewer than |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 100,000 customers in Illinois. | ||||||
2 | (i) If, after 2 years, an electric utility fails to meet | ||||||
3 | the efficiency standard specified in subsection (b) of this | ||||||
4 | Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e), it shall make | ||||||
5 | a contribution to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance | ||||||
6 | Program. The combined total liability for failure to meet the | ||||||
7 | goal shall be $1,000,000, which shall be assessed as follows: a | ||||||
8 | large electric utility shall pay $665,000, and a medium | ||||||
9 | electric utility shall pay $335,000. If, after 3 years, an | ||||||
10 | electric utility fails to meet the efficiency standard | ||||||
11 | specified in subsection (b) of this Section, as modified by | ||||||
12 | subsections (d) and (e), it shall make a contribution to the | ||||||
13 | Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The combined total | ||||||
14 | liability for failure to meet the goal shall be $1,000,000, | ||||||
15 | which shall be assessed as follows: a large electric utility | ||||||
16 | shall pay $665,000, and a medium electric utility shall pay | ||||||
17 | $335,000. In addition, the responsibility for implementing the | ||||||
18 | energy efficiency measures of the utility making the payment | ||||||
19 | shall be transferred to the Illinois Power Agency if, after 3 | ||||||
20 | years, or in any subsequent 3-year period, the utility fails to | ||||||
21 | meet the efficiency standard specified in subsection (b) of | ||||||
22 | this Section, as modified by subsections (d) and (e). The | ||||||
23 | Agency shall implement a competitive procurement program to | ||||||
24 | procure resources necessary to meet the standards specified in | ||||||
25 | this Section as modified by subsections (d) and (e), with costs | ||||||
26 | for those resources to be recovered in the same manner as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | products purchased through the procurement plan as provided in | ||||||
2 | Section 16-111.5. The Director shall implement this | ||||||
3 | requirement in connection with the procurement plan as provided | ||||||
4 | in Section 16-111.5. | ||||||
5 | For purposes of this Section, (i) a "large electric | ||||||
6 | utility" is an electric utility that, on December 31, 2005, | ||||||
7 | served more than 2,000,000 electric customers in Illinois; (ii) | ||||||
8 | a "medium electric utility" is an electric utility that, on | ||||||
9 | December 31, 2005, served 2,000,000 or fewer but more than | ||||||
10 | 100,000 electric customers in Illinois; and (iii) Illinois | ||||||
11 | electric utilities that are affiliated by virtue of a common | ||||||
12 | parent company are considered a single electric utility. | ||||||
13 | (j) If, after 3 years, or any subsequent 3-year period, the | ||||||
14 | Department fails to implement the Department's share of energy | ||||||
15 | efficiency measures required by the standards in subsection | ||||||
16 | (b), then the Illinois Power Agency may assume responsibility | ||||||
17 | for and control of the Department's share of the required | ||||||
18 | energy efficiency measures. The Agency shall implement a | ||||||
19 | competitive procurement program to procure resources necessary | ||||||
20 | to meet the standards specified in this Section, with the costs | ||||||
21 | of these resources to be recovered in the same manner as | ||||||
22 | provided for the Department in this Section.
| ||||||
23 | (k) No electric utility shall be deemed to have failed to | ||||||
24 | meet the energy efficiency standards to the extent any such | ||||||
25 | failure is due to a failure of the Department or the Agency.

| ||||||
3 | Sec. 16-111.8. Automatic adjustment clause tariff; | ||||||
4 | uncollectibles.
| ||||||
5 | (a) An electric utility shall be permitted, at its | ||||||
6 | election, to recover through an automatic adjustment clause | ||||||
7 | tariff the incremental difference between its actual | ||||||
8 | uncollectible amount as set forth in Account 904 in the | ||||||
9 | utility's most recent annual FERC Form 1 and the uncollectible | ||||||
10 | amount included in the utility's rates for the period reported | ||||||
11 | in such annual FERC Form 1. The Commission may, in a proceeding | ||||||
12 | to review a general rate case filed subsequent to the effective | ||||||
13 | date of the tariff established under this Section, | ||||||
14 | prospectively switch from using the actual uncollectible | ||||||
15 | amount set forth in Account 904 to using net write-offs in such | ||||||
16 | tariff, but only if net write-offs are also used to determine | ||||||
17 | the utility's uncollectible amount in rates. In the event the | ||||||
18 | Commission requires such a change, it shall be made effective | ||||||
19 | at the beginning of the first full calendar year after the new | ||||||
20 | rates approved in such proceeding are first placed in effect | ||||||
21 | and an adjustment shall be made, if necessary, to ensure the | ||||||
22 | change does not result in double-recovery or unrecovered | ||||||
23 | uncollectible amounts for any year. For purposes of this | ||||||
24 | Section, "uncollectible amount" means the expense set forth in | ||||||
25 | Account 904 of the utility's FERC Form 1 or cost of net |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | write-offs as appropriate. In the event the utility's rates | ||||||
2 | change during the period of time reported in its most recent | ||||||
3 | annual FERC Form 1, the uncollectible amount included in the | ||||||
4 | utility's rates during such period of time for purposes of this | ||||||
5 | Section will be a weighted average, based on revenues earned | ||||||
6 | during such period by the utility under each set of rates, of | ||||||
7 | the uncollectible amount included in the utility's rates at the | ||||||
8 | beginning of such period and at the end of such period. This | ||||||
9 | difference may either be a charge or a credit to customers | ||||||
10 | depending on whether the uncollectible amount is more or less | ||||||
11 | than the uncollectible amount then included in the utility's | ||||||
12 | rates. | ||||||
13 | (b) The tariff may be established outside the context of a | ||||||
14 | general rate case filing and shall specify the terms of any | ||||||
15 | applicable audit. The Commission shall review and by order | ||||||
16 | approve, or approve as modified, the proposed tariff within 180 | ||||||
17 | days after the date on which it is filed. Charges and credits | ||||||
18 | under the tariff shall be allocated to the appropriate customer | ||||||
19 | class or classes. In addition, customers who purchase their | ||||||
20 | electric supply from an alternative retail electric supplier | ||||||
21 | shall not be charged by the utility for uncollectible amounts | ||||||
22 | associated with electric supply provided by the utility to the | ||||||
23 | utility's customers, provided that nothing in this Section is | ||||||
24 | intended to affect or alter the rights and obligations imposed | ||||||
25 | pursuant to Section 16-118 of this Act and any Commission order | ||||||
26 | issued thereunder. Upon approval of the tariff, the utility |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall, based on the 2008 FERC Form 1, apply the appropriate | ||||||
2 | credit or charge based on the full year 2008 amounts for the | ||||||
3 | remainder of the 2010 calendar year. Starting with the 2009 | ||||||
4 | FERC Form 1 reporting period and each subsequent period, the | ||||||
5 | utility shall apply the appropriate credit or charge over a | ||||||
6 | 12-month period beginning with the June billing period and | ||||||
7 | ending with the May billing period, with the first such billing | ||||||
8 | period beginning June 2010. | ||||||
9 | (c) The approved tariff shall provide that the utility | ||||||
10 | shall file a petition with the Commission annually, no later | ||||||
11 | than August 31st, seeking initiation of an annual review to | ||||||
12 | reconcile all amounts collected with the actual uncollectible | ||||||
13 | amount in the prior period. As part of its review, the | ||||||
14 | Commission shall verify that the utility collects no more and | ||||||
15 | no less than its actual uncollectible amount in each applicable | ||||||
16 | FERC Form 1 reporting period. The Commission shall review the | ||||||
17 | prudence and reasonableness of the utility's actions to pursue | ||||||
18 | minimization and collection of uncollectibles which shall | ||||||
19 | include, at a minimum, the 6 enumerated criteria set forth in | ||||||
20 | this Section. The Commission shall determine any required | ||||||
21 | adjustments and may include suggestions for prospective | ||||||
22 | changes in current practices. Nothing in this Section or the | ||||||
23 | implementing tariffs shall affect or alter the electric | ||||||
24 | utility's existing obligation to pursue collection of | ||||||
25 | uncollectibles or the electric utility's right to disconnect | ||||||
26 | service. A utility that has in effect a tariff authorized by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section shall pursue minimization of and collection of | ||||||
2 | uncollectibles through the following activities, including, | ||||||
3 | but not limited to: | ||||||
4 | (1) identifying customers with late payments; | ||||||
5 | (2) contacting the customers in an effort to obtain | ||||||
6 | payment; | ||||||
7 | (3) providing delinquent customers with information | ||||||
8 | about possible options, including payment plans and | ||||||
9 | assistance programs; | ||||||
10 | (4) serving disconnection notices; | ||||||
11 | (5) implementing disconnections based on the level of | ||||||
12 | uncollectibles; and | ||||||
13 | (6) pursuing collection activities based on the level | ||||||
14 | of uncollectibles. | ||||||
15 | (d) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require a | ||||||
16 | utility to immediately disconnect service for nonpayment.

26 | disciplinary action by the Department.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The entry of an order or judgment by any circuit court | ||||||
2 | establishing that any
person holding a license under this Act | ||||||
3 | is a person in need of mental treatment
operates as a | ||||||
4 | suspension of that license. That person may resume their
| ||||||
5 | practice only upon the entry of a Departmental order based upon | ||||||
6 | a finding by
the Medical Disciplinary Board that they have been | ||||||
7 | determined to be recovered
from mental illness by the court and | ||||||
8 | upon the Disciplinary Board's
recommendation that they be | ||||||
9 | permitted to resume their practice.
| ||||||
10 | The Department may refuse to issue or take disciplinary | ||||||
11 | action concerning the license of any person
who fails to file a | ||||||
12 | return, or to pay the tax, penalty or interest shown in a
filed | ||||||
13 | return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or | ||||||
14 | interest, as
required by any tax Act administered by the | ||||||
15 | Illinois Department of Revenue,
until such time as the | ||||||
16 | requirements of any such tax Act are satisfied as
determined by | ||||||
17 | the Illinois Department of Revenue.
| ||||||
18 | The Department, upon the recommendation of the | ||||||
19 | Disciplinary Board, shall
adopt rules which set forth standards | ||||||
20 | to be used in determining:
| ||||||
21 | (a) when a person will be deemed sufficiently | ||||||
22 | rehabilitated to warrant the
public trust;
| ||||||
23 | (b) what constitutes dishonorable, unethical or | ||||||
24 | unprofessional conduct of
a character likely to deceive, | ||||||
25 | defraud, or harm the public;
| ||||||
26 | (c) what constitutes immoral conduct in the commission |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of any act,
including, but not limited to, commission of an | ||||||
2 | act of sexual misconduct
related
to the licensee's | ||||||
3 | practice; and
| ||||||
4 | (d) what constitutes gross negligence in the practice | ||||||
5 | of medicine.
| ||||||
6 | However, no such rule shall be admissible into evidence in | ||||||
7 | any civil action
except for review of a licensing or other | ||||||
8 | disciplinary action under this Act.
| ||||||
9 | In enforcing this Section, the Medical Disciplinary Board,
| ||||||
10 | upon a showing of a possible violation, may compel any | ||||||
11 | individual licensed to
practice under this Act, or who has | ||||||
12 | applied for licensure or a permit
pursuant to this Act, to | ||||||
13 | submit to a mental or physical examination, or both,
as | ||||||
14 | required by and at the expense of the Department. The examining | ||||||
15 | physician
or physicians shall be those specifically designated | ||||||
16 | by the Disciplinary Board.
The Medical Disciplinary Board or | ||||||
17 | the Department may order the examining
physician to present | ||||||
18 | testimony concerning this mental or physical examination
of the | ||||||
19 | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | ||||||
20 | reason of
any common
law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
21 | communication between the licensee or
applicant and
the | ||||||
22 | examining physician.
The individual to be examined may have, at | ||||||
23 | his or her own expense, another
physician of his or her choice | ||||||
24 | present during all aspects of the examination.
Failure of any | ||||||
25 | individual to submit to mental or physical examination, when
| ||||||
26 | directed, shall be grounds for suspension of his or her license |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | until such time
as the individual submits to the examination if | ||||||
2 | the Disciplinary Board finds,
after notice and hearing, that | ||||||
3 | the refusal to submit to the examination was
without reasonable | ||||||
4 | cause. If the Disciplinary Board finds a physician unable
to | ||||||
5 | practice because of the reasons set forth in this Section, the | ||||||
6 | Disciplinary
Board shall require such physician to submit to | ||||||
7 | care, counseling, or treatment
by physicians approved or | ||||||
8 | designated by the Disciplinary Board, as a condition
for | ||||||
9 | continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to practice. Any | ||||||
10 | physician,
whose license was granted pursuant to Sections 9, | ||||||
11 | 17, or 19 of this Act, or,
continued, reinstated, renewed, | ||||||
12 | disciplined or supervised, subject to such
terms, conditions or | ||||||
13 | restrictions who shall fail to comply with such terms,
| ||||||
14 | conditions or restrictions, or to complete a required program | ||||||
15 | of care,
counseling, or treatment, as determined by the Chief | ||||||
16 | Medical Coordinator or
Deputy Medical Coordinators, shall be | ||||||
17 | referred to the Secretary for a
determination as to whether the | ||||||
18 | licensee shall have their license suspended
immediately, | ||||||
19 | pending a hearing by the Disciplinary Board. In instances in
| ||||||
20 | which the Secretary immediately suspends a license under this | ||||||
21 | Section, a hearing
upon such person's license must be convened | ||||||
22 | by the Disciplinary Board within 15
days after such suspension | ||||||
23 | and completed without appreciable delay. The
Disciplinary | ||||||
24 | Board shall have the authority to review the subject | ||||||
25 | physician's
record of treatment and counseling regarding the | ||||||
26 | impairment, to the extent
permitted by applicable federal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | statutes and regulations safeguarding the
confidentiality of | ||||||
2 | medical records.
| ||||||
3 | An individual licensed under this Act, affected under this | ||||||
4 | Section, shall be
afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the | ||||||
5 | Disciplinary Board that they can
resume practice in compliance | ||||||
6 | with acceptable and prevailing standards under
the provisions | ||||||

to submit to a
mental or | ||||||
11 | physical
examination, or both, as required by and at the | ||||||
12 | expense of the Department. The
examining physicians or clinical | ||||||
13 | psychologists shall be those specifically
designated by the | ||||||

| ||||||
15 | physician or clinical psychologist to present testimony | ||||||
16 | concerning this mental
or physical examination of the licensee | ||||||
17 | or applicant. No information shall be
excluded by reason of any | ||||||
18 | common law or statutory privilege relating to
communications | ||||||
19 | between the licensee or applicant and the examining physician | ||||||

clinical psychologist. Eye examinations may be provided by a | ||||||
21 | licensed
optometrist. The individual to be examined may have,
| ||||||
22 | at his or her own expense, another physician of his or her | ||||||
23 | choice present
during all aspects of the examination. Failure | ||||||
24 | of any individual to submit to
a mental or physical | ||||||
25 | examination, when directed, shall be grounds for
suspension of | ||||||
26 | a license until such time as the individual submits to the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | examination if the Board finds, after notice and hearing, that | ||||||
2 | the refusal to
submit to the examination was without reasonable | ||||||
3 | cause.
| ||||||
4 | If the Board finds an individual unable to practice because | ||||||
5 | of the reasons
set forth in this Section, the Board shall | ||||||
6 | require such individual to submit to
care, counseling, or | ||||||
7 | treatment by physicians or clinical psychologists approved
or | ||||||
8 | designated by the Board, as a condition, term, or restriction | ||||||
9 | for continued,
reinstated, or renewed licensure to practice, or | ||||||
10 | in lieu of care, counseling,
or treatment, the Board may | ||||||
11 | recommend to the Department to file a complaint to immediately | ||||||
12 | suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the
license of the | ||||||
13 | individual, or the Board may recommend to the Department to | ||||||
14 | file
a complaint to suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline | ||||||
15 | the license of the
individual. Any individual whose license was | ||||||
16 | granted pursuant to this Act, or
continued, reinstated, | ||||||
17 | renewed, disciplined, or supervised, subject to such
| ||||||
18 | conditions, terms, or restrictions, who shall fail to comply | ||||||
19 | with such
conditions, terms, or restrictions, shall be referred | ||||||
20 | to the Secretary for a
determination as to whether the | ||||||
21 | individual shall have his or her license
suspended immediately, | ||||||
22 | pending a hearing by the Board.
| ||||||
23 | (b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
24 | subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission as | ||||||
25 | provided in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
26 | Code operates as an
automatic suspension. The suspension will |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | end only upon a finding by a
court that the patient is no | ||||||
2 | longer subject to involuntary admission or
judicial admission | ||||||
3 | and issues an order so finding and discharging the
patient; and | ||||||
4 | upon the recommendation of the Board to the Secretary
that
the | ||||||
5 | licensee be allowed to resume his or her practice.

12 | continue to be
a member of the Board who is, or whose spouse, | ||||||

15 | subject to the jurisdiction of this Board, or any race
track, | ||||||
16 | race meeting, racing association or the operations thereof | ||||||
17 | subject
to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Racing Board. No | ||||||
18 | Board member shall
hold any other public office for which he | ||||||
19 | shall receive compensation other
than necessary travel or other | ||||||
20 | incidental expenses. No person shall be a
member of the Board | ||||||
21 | who is not of good moral character or who has been

22 | of, or is under indictment for, a felony under the laws of
| ||||||
23 | Illinois or any other state, or the United States.
| ||||||
24 | (6) Any member of the Board may be removed by the Governor | ||||||

26 | in office.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (7) Before entering upon the discharge of the duties of his | ||||||
2 | office, each
member of the Board shall take an oath that he | ||||||
3 | will faithfully execute the

10 | or is likely to become invalid or
insufficient, he shall | ||||||
11 | require such member forthwith to renew his bond,
which is to be | ||||||
12 | approved by the Governor. Any member of the Board who fails

14 | appointment,
or who fails to renew his bond within 30 days | ||||||
15 | after it is demanded by the

1 | horse racing within this
State. Any employee violating these | ||||||
2 | prohibitions shall be subject to
termination of employment.
| ||||||
3 | (9) An Administrator shall perform any and all duties that | ||||||
4 | the Board
shall assign him. The salary of the Administrator | ||||||

| ||||||
12 | (4) To provide for the establishment and collection of | ||||||

necessary and proper;

Board shall | ||||||
18 | constitute a quorum, and 3 votes shall be required for any
| ||||||
19 | final determination by the Board. The Board shall keep a | ||||||
20 | complete and
accurate record of all its meetings. A | ||||||
21 | majority of the members of the Board
shall constitute a | ||||||
22 | quorum for the transaction of any business, for the
| ||||||
23 | performance of any duty, or for the exercise of any power | ||||||
24 | which this Act
requires the Board members to transact, | ||||||
25 | perform or exercise en banc, except
that, upon order of the | ||||||
26 | Board, one of the Board members or an
administrative law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | judge designated by the Board may conduct any hearing
| ||||||
2 | provided for under this Act or by Board rule and may | ||||||
3 | recommend findings and
decisions to the Board. The Board | ||||||
4 | member or administrative law judge
conducting such hearing | ||||||
5 | shall have all powers and rights granted to the
Board in | ||||||
6 | this Act. The record made at the time of the hearing shall | ||||||
7 | be
reviewed by the Board, or a majority thereof, and the | ||||||
8 | findings and decision
of the majority of the Board shall | ||||||
9 | constitute the order of the Board in
such case;
| ||||||
10 | (9) To maintain records which are separate and distinct | ||||||
11 | from the records

by the Director | ||||||
26 | of Revenue; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (13) To assume responsibility for administration and | ||||||

5 | Board shall have all powers
necessary and proper to fully and | ||||||
6 | effectively execute the provisions of
this Act, including, but | ||||||
7 | not limited to, the following:

13 | riverboat gambling

16 | of administering
the provisions of this Act and to | ||||||
17 | prescribe rules, regulations and
conditions under which | ||||||
18 | all riverboat gambling in the State shall be
conducted. | ||||||
19 | Such rules and regulations are to provide for the | ||||||
20 | prevention of
practices detrimental to the public interest | ||||||
21 | and for the best interests of
riverboat gambling, including | ||||||
22 | rules and regulations regarding the
inspection of such | ||||||
23 | riverboats and the review of any permits or licenses
| ||||||
24 | necessary to operate a riverboat under any laws or | ||||||
25 | regulations applicable
to riverboats, and to impose | ||||||
26 | penalties for violations thereof.

19 | gambling operations submit to the Board an annual balance
| ||||||
20 | sheet and profit and loss statement, list of the | ||||||
21 | stockholders or other

| ||||||
24 | necessary in order to effectively administer this Act and | ||||||
25 | all rules,
regulations, orders and final decisions | ||||||
26 | promulgated under this Act.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (9) To conduct hearings, issue subpoenas for the | ||||||

13 | (11) To revoke or suspend licenses, as the Board may | ||||||
14 | see fit and in

Board may | ||||||
17 | suspend an owners license, without notice or hearing upon a
| ||||||
18 | determination that the safety or health of patrons or | ||||||
19 | employees is
jeopardized by continuing a riverboat's | ||||||
20 | operation. The suspension may
remain in effect until the | ||||||
21 | Board determines that the cause for suspension
has been | ||||||
22 | abated. The Board may revoke the owners license upon a
| ||||||
23 | determination that the owner has not made satisfactory | ||||||
24 | progress toward
abating the hazard.
| ||||||
25 | (12) To eject or exclude or authorize the ejection or | ||||||
26 | exclusion of, any
person from riverboat gambling |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facilities where such person is in violation
of this Act, | ||||||
2 | rules and regulations thereunder, or final orders of the
| ||||||
3 | Board, or where such person's conduct or reputation is such | ||||||
4 | that his
presence within the riverboat gambling facilities | ||||||
5 | may, in the opinion of
the Board, call into question the | ||||||
6 | honesty and integrity of the gambling
operations or | ||||||
7 | interfere with orderly conduct thereof; provided that the

8 | propriety of such ejection or exclusion is subject to | ||||||
9 | subsequent hearing

11 | utilize a
cashless wagering system whereby all players' | ||||||
12 | money is converted to tokens,
electronic cards, or chips | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | (15) To suspend, revoke or restrict licenses, to | ||||||
17 | require the

impose civil | ||||||
20 | penalties of up to $5,000 against individuals and up to
| ||||||
21 | $10,000 or an amount equal to the daily gross receipts, | ||||||
22 | whichever is
larger, against licensees for each violation | ||||||
23 | of any provision of the Act,
any rules adopted by the | ||||||
24 | Board, any order of the Board or any other action

26 | riverboat
gambling operations.

| |||||||

2 | investigations
and carry out any other tasks contemplated | ||||||

8 | of 1934 on board a riverboat
and to have exclusive | ||||||
9 | authority to establish the hours for sale and
consumption | ||||||
10 | of alcoholic liquor on board a riverboat, notwithstanding | ||||||
11 | any
provision of the Liquor Control Act of 1934 or any | ||||||
12 | local ordinance, and
regardless of whether the riverboat | ||||||
13 | makes excursions. The
establishment of the hours for sale | ||||||
14 | and consumption of alcoholic liquor on
board a riverboat is | ||||||
15 | an exclusive power and function of the State. A home
rule | ||||||
16 | unit may not establish the hours for sale and consumption | ||||||
17 | of alcoholic
liquor on board a riverboat. This amendatory | ||||||
18 | Act of 1991 is a denial and
limitation of home rule powers | ||||||
19 | and functions under subsection (h) of
Section 6 of Article | ||||||
20 | VII of the Illinois Constitution.

26 | acts of God or other extreme circumstances.

4 | (20.6) To appoint investigators to conduct | ||||||
5 | investigations, searches, seizures, arrests, and other | ||||||
6 | duties imposed under this Act, as deemed necessary by the | ||||||
7 | Board. These investigators have and may exercise all of the | ||||||
8 | rights and powers of peace officers, provided that these | ||||||
9 | powers shall be limited to offenses or violations occurring | ||||||
10 | or committed on a riverboat or dock, as defined in | ||||||
11 | subsections (d) and (f) of Section 4, or as otherwise | ||||||
12 | provided by this Act or any other law. | ||||||
13 | (20.7) To contract with the Department of State Police | ||||||
14 | for the use of trained and qualified State police officers | ||||||
15 | and with the Department of Revenue for the use of trained | ||||||
16 | and qualified Department of Revenue investigators to | ||||||
17 | conduct investigations, searches, seizures, arrests, and | ||||||
18 | other duties imposed under this Act and to exercise all of | ||||||
19 | the rights and powers of peace officers, provided that the | ||||||
20 | powers of Department of Revenue investigators under this | ||||||
21 | subdivision (20.7) shall be limited to offenses or | ||||||
22 | violations occurring or committed on a riverboat or dock, | ||||||
23 | as defined in subsections (d) and (f) of Section 4, or as | ||||||
24 | otherwise provided by this Act or any other law. In the | ||||||
25 | event the Department of State Police or the Department of | ||||||
26 | Revenue is unable to fill contracted police or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | investigative positions, the Board may appoint | ||||||
2 | investigators to fill those positions pursuant to | ||||||
3 | subdivision (20.6).
| ||||||
4 | (21) To take any other action as may be reasonable or | ||||||
5 | appropriate to
enforce this Act and rules and regulations | ||||||
6 | hereunder.
| ||||||
7 | (d) The Board may seek and shall receive the cooperation of | ||||||
8 | the
Department of State Police in conducting background | ||||||
9 | investigations of
applicants and in fulfilling its | ||||||
10 | responsibilities under
this Section. Costs incurred by the | ||||||
11 | Department of State Police as
a result of such cooperation | ||||||
12 | shall be paid by the Board in conformance
with the requirements | ||||||
13 | of Section 2605-400 of the Department of State Police Law
(20 | ||||||
14 | ILCS 2605/2605-400).
| ||||||
15 | (e) The Board must authorize to each investigator and to | ||||||
16 | any other
employee of the Board exercising the powers of a | ||||||
17 | peace officer a distinct badge
that, on its face, (i) clearly | ||||||
18 | states that the badge is authorized by the Board
and
(ii) | ||||||
19 | contains a unique identifying number. No other badge shall be | ||||||
20 | authorized

14 | produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine may make | ||||||
15 | application to the Commission for a self-distribution | ||||||
16 | exemption to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons | ||||||
17 | of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per | ||||||
18 | year. | ||||||
19 | (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under | ||||||
20 | penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the | ||||||
21 | date it was established; (2) its volume of production | ||||||
22 | and sales for each year since its establishment; (3) | ||||||
23 | its efforts to establish distributor relationships; | ||||||
24 | (4) that a self-distribution exemption is necessary to | ||||||
25 | facilitate the marketing of its wine; and (5) that it | ||||||
26 | will comply with the liquor and revenue laws of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | United States, this State, and any other state where it | ||||||
2 | is licensed. | ||||||
3 | (C) The Commission shall approve the application | ||||||
4 | for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) | ||||||
5 | is in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; | ||||||
6 | (2) is not a member of any affiliated group that | ||||||
7 | produces more than 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or | ||||||
8 | produces any other alcoholic liquor; (3) will not | ||||||
9 | annually produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of | ||||||
10 | wine; and (4) will not annually sell more than 5,000 | ||||||
11 | gallons of its wine to retail licensees. | ||||||
12 | (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall | ||||||
13 | annually certify to the Commission its production of | ||||||
14 | wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated | ||||||
15 | production and sales for the next 12 months. The | ||||||
16 | Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a | ||||||
17 | self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it | ||||||
18 | finds that the exemption holder has made a material | ||||||
19 | misrepresentation in its application, violated a | ||||||
20 | revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production | ||||||
21 | of 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or | ||||||
22 | become part of an affiliated group producing more than | ||||||
23 | 25,000 gallons of wine or any other alcoholic liquor. | ||||||
24 | (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act | ||||||
25 | or amendatory Act or a bona fide investigation by duly | ||||||
26 | sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | its agents, the Commission shall maintain the | ||||||
2 | production and sales information of a | ||||||
3 | self-distribution exemption holder as confidential and | ||||||
4 | shall not release such information to any person. | ||||||
5 | (F) The Commission shall issue regulations | ||||||
6 | governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with | ||||||
7 | this Section and this Act. | ||||||
8 | (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit | ||||||
9 | a self-distribution exemption holder from entering | ||||||
10 | into or simultaneously having a distribution agreement | ||||||
11 | with a licensed Illinois distributor. | ||||||
12 | (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to | ||||||
13 | promote and continue orderly markets. The General | ||||||
14 | Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois' | ||||||
15 | regulatory distribution system it is necessary to | ||||||
16 | create an exception for smaller makers of wine as their | ||||||
17 | wines are frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, | ||||||
18 | vintages, and taste to find and create market niches | ||||||
19 | sometimes too small for distributor or importing | ||||||
20 | distributor business strategies. Limited | ||||||
21 | self-distribution rights will afford and allow smaller | ||||||
22 | makers of wine access to the marketplace in order to | ||||||
23 | develop a customer base without impairing the | ||||||
24 | integrity of the 3-tier system.
| ||||||
25 | (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall | ||||||
26 | present a written
report to the Governor and the General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly that shall be based on a study
of the impact of this | ||||||
2 | amendatory Act of 1998 on the business of soliciting,
selling, | ||||||
3 | and shipping
alcoholic liquor from outside of this State | ||||||
4 | directly to residents of this
State.
| ||||||
5 | As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the | ||||||
6 | following
information:
| ||||||
7 | (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues | ||||||
8 | generated as a
result of this amendatory Act of 1998;
| ||||||
9 | (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result | ||||||
10 | of this amendatory
Act of 1998;
| ||||||
11 | (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of | ||||||
12 | cease and desist
notices issued by the Commission, the | ||||||
13 | number of notices of violations issued
to the Department of | ||||||
14 | Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
| ||||||
15 | violations to law enforcement officials.

| ||||||
19 | Sec. 6-16.1. Enforcement actions.
| ||||||
20 | (a) A licensee or an officer, associate,
member, | ||||||
21 | representative, agent, or employee of a licensee may sell, | ||||||
22 | give, or
deliver alcoholic liquor to a person under the age of | ||||||
23 | 21 years or authorize the
sale, gift, or delivery of alcoholic | ||||||
24 | liquor to a person under the age of 21
years pursuant to a plan | ||||||
25 | or action to investigate, patrol, or otherwise conduct
a "sting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operation" or enforcement action against a person employed by | ||||||
2 | the
licensee or on any licensed premises if the licensee or | ||||||
3 | officer, associate,
member, representative, agent, or employee | ||||||
4 | of the licensee provides written
notice, at least 14 days | ||||||
5 | before the "sting operation" or enforcement action,
unless | ||||||
6 | governing body of the municipality or county having | ||||||
7 | jurisdiction sets a
shorter period by ordinance, to the law | ||||||
8 | enforcement agency having jurisdiction,
the local liquor | ||||||
9 | control commissioner, or both. Notice provided under this
| ||||||
10 | Section shall be valid for a "sting operation" or enforcement | ||||||
11 | action conducted
within 60 days of the provision of that | ||||||
12 | notice, unless the governing body of
the municipality or county | ||||||
13 | having jurisdiction sets a shorter period by
ordinance.
| ||||||
14 | (b) A local liquor control commission or unit of local | ||||||
15 | government that
conducts alcohol and tobacco compliance | ||||||
16 | operations shall establish a policy and
standards for alcohol | ||||||
17 | and tobacco compliance operations to investigate whether
a | ||||||
18 | licensee is furnishing (1) alcoholic liquor to persons under 21 | ||||||
19 | years of age
in violation of this Act or (2) tobacco to persons | ||||||
20 | in violation of the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors and | ||||||
21 | Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products Act.
| ||||||
22 | (c) The Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board | ||||||
23 | shall
develop a model policy and guidelines for the operation | ||||||
24 | of alcohol and tobacco
compliance checks by local law | ||||||
25 | enforcement officers. The Illinois Law
Enforcement Training | ||||||
26 | Standards Board shall also require the supervising
officers of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | such compliance checks to have met a minimum training standard | ||||||
2 | as
determined by the Board. The Board shall have the right to | ||||||
3 | waive any training
based on current written policies and | ||||||
4 | procedures for alcohol and tobacco
compliance check operations | ||||||
5 | and in-service training already administered by
the local law | ||||||
6 | enforcement agency, department, or office.
| ||||||
7 | (d) The provisions of subsections (b) and (c) do not apply | ||||||
8 | to a home rule
unit with more than 2,000,000 inhabitants.
| ||||||
9 | (e) A home rule unit, other than a home rule unit with more | ||||||
10 | than 2,000,000
inhabitants, may not regulate enforcement | ||||||
11 | actions in a manner inconsistent with
the regulation of | ||||||
12 | enforcement actions under this Section. This subsection (e)
is | ||||||
13 | a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII | ||||||
14 | of the
Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home | ||||||
15 | rule units
of powers and functions
exercised by the State.
| ||||||
16 | (f) A licensee who is the subject of an enforcement action | ||||||
17 | or "sting
operation" under this Section and is found, pursuant | ||||||
18 | to the enforcement action,
to be in compliance with this Act | ||||||
19 | shall be notified by the enforcement agency action that no | ||||||
20 | violation was found within 30 days after the finding.

| ||||||
23 | (235 ILCS 5/8-1)
| ||||||
24 | Sec. 8-1.
A tax is imposed upon the privilege of engaging | ||||||
25 | in business as a
manufacturer or as an importing distributor of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alcoholic liquor other than beer
at the rate of $0.185 per | ||||||
2 | gallon until September 1, 2009 and $0.231 per gallon beginning | ||||||
3 | September 1, 2009 for cider containing not less than
0.5% | ||||||
4 | alcohol by volume nor more than 7% alcohol by volume, $0.73
per | ||||||
5 | gallon until September 1, 2009 and $1.39 per gallon beginning | ||||||
6 | September 1, 2009 for wine other than
cider containing less | ||||||
7 | than 7% alcohol by volume, and $4.50
per gallon until September | ||||||
8 | 1, 2009 and $8.55 per gallon beginning September 1, 2009 on | ||||||
9 | alcohol and spirits manufactured and sold or used by such
| ||||||
10 | manufacturer, or as agent for any other person, or sold or used | ||||||
11 | by such
importing distributor, or as agent for any other | ||||||
12 | person. A tax is imposed
upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
13 | business as a manufacturer of beer or as an
importing | ||||||
14 | distributor of beer at the rate of $0.185 per gallon until | ||||||
15 | September 1, 2009 and $0.231 per gallon beginning September 1, | ||||||
16 | 2009 on
all beer manufactured and sold or used by such | ||||||
17 | manufacturer, or as agent for
any other person, or sold or used | ||||||
18 | by such importing distributor, or as agent
for any other | ||||||
19 | person. Any brewer manufacturing beer in this State shall be
| ||||||
20 | entitled to and given a credit or refund of 75% of the tax | ||||||
21 | imposed on each
gallon of beer up to 4.9 million gallons per | ||||||
22 | year in any given calendar year
for tax paid or payable on beer | ||||||
23 | produced and sold in the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
24 | For the purpose of this Section, "cider" means any | ||||||
25 | alcoholic beverage
obtained by the alcohol fermentation of the | ||||||
26 | juice of apples or pears
including, but not limited to, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | flavored, sparkling, or carbonated cider.
| ||||||
2 | The credit or refund created by this Act shall apply to all | ||||||
3 | beer taxes
in the calendar years 1982 through 1986.
| ||||||
4 | The increases made by this amendatory Act of the 91st | ||||||
5 | General Assembly in
the rates of taxes imposed under this | ||||||
6 | Section shall apply beginning on July
1, 1999.
| ||||||
7 | A tax at the rate of 1¢ per gallon on beer and 48¢ per | ||||||
8 | gallon on
alcohol and spirits is also imposed upon the | ||||||
9 | privilege of engaging in
business as a retailer or as a | ||||||
10 | distributor who is not also an importing
distributor with | ||||||
11 | respect to all beer and all alcohol and spirits owned
or | ||||||
12 | possessed by such retailer or distributor when this amendatory | ||||||
13 | Act of
1969 becomes effective, and with respect to which the | ||||||
14 | additional tax
imposed by this amendatory Act upon | ||||||
15 | manufacturers and importing
distributors does not apply. | ||||||
16 | Retailers and distributors who are subject
to the additional | ||||||
17 | tax imposed by this paragraph of this Section shall be
required | ||||||
18 | to inventory such alcoholic liquor and to pay this additional
| ||||||
19 | tax in a manner prescribed by the Department.
| ||||||
20 | The provisions of this Section shall be construed to apply | ||||||
21 | to any
importing distributor engaging in business in this | ||||||
22 | State, whether
licensed or not.
| ||||||
23 | However, such tax is not imposed upon any such business as | ||||||
24 | to any
alcoholic liquor shipped outside Illinois by an Illinois | ||||||
25 | licensed
manufacturer or importing distributor, nor as to any | ||||||
26 | alcoholic liquor
delivered in Illinois by an Illinois licensed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | manufacturer or importing
distributor to a purchaser for | ||||||
2 | immediate transportation by the purchaser
to another state into | ||||||
3 | which the purchaser has a legal right, under the
laws of such | ||||||
4 | state, to import such alcoholic liquor, nor as to any
alcoholic | ||||||
5 | liquor other than beer sold by one Illinois licensed
| ||||||
6 | manufacturer or importing distributor to another Illinois | ||||||
7 | licensed
manufacturer or importing distributor to the extent to | ||||||
8 | which the sale of
alcoholic liquor other than beer by one | ||||||
9 | Illinois licensed manufacturer
or importing distributor to | ||||||
10 | another Illinois licensed manufacturer or
importing | ||||||
11 | distributor is authorized by the licensing provisions of this
| ||||||
12 | Act, nor to alcoholic liquor whether manufactured in or | ||||||
13 | imported into
this State when sold to a "non-beverage user" | ||||||
14 | licensed by the State for
use in the manufacture of any of the | ||||||
15 | following when they are unfit for
beverage purposes:
| ||||||
16 | Patent and proprietary medicines and medicinal, | ||||||
17 | antiseptic, culinary
and toilet preparations;
| ||||||
18 | Flavoring extracts and syrups and food products;
| ||||||
19 | Scientific, industrial and chemical products, excepting | ||||||
20 | denatured
alcohol;
| ||||||
21 | Or for scientific, chemical, experimental or mechanical | ||||||
22 | purposes;
| ||||||
23 | Nor is the tax imposed upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
24 | any business
in interstate commerce or otherwise, which | ||||||
25 | business may not, under the
Constitution and Statutes of the | ||||||
26 | United States, be made the subject of
taxation by this State.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The tax herein imposed shall be in addition to all other | ||||||
2 | occupation
or privilege taxes imposed by the State of Illinois | ||||||
3 | or political
subdivision thereof.
| ||||||
4 | If any alcoholic liquor manufactured in or imported into | ||||||
5 | this State
is sold to a licensed manufacturer or importing | ||||||
6 | distributor by a
licensed manufacturer or importing | ||||||
7 | distributor to be used solely as an
ingredient in the | ||||||
8 | manufacture of any beverage for human consumption, the
tax | ||||||
9 | imposed upon such purchasing manufacturer or importing | ||||||
10 | distributor
shall be reduced by the amount of the taxes which | ||||||
11 | have been paid by the
selling manufacturer or importing | ||||||
12 | distributor under this Act as to such
alcoholic liquor so used | ||||||
13 | to the Department of Revenue.
| ||||||
14 | If any person received any alcoholic liquors from a | ||||||
15 | manufacturer or
importing distributor, with respect to which | ||||||
16 | alcoholic liquors no tax is
imposed under this Article, and | ||||||
17 | such alcoholic liquor shall thereafter
be disposed of in such | ||||||
18 | manner or under such circumstances as may cause
the same to | ||||||
19 | become the base for the tax imposed by this Article, such
| ||||||
20 | person shall make the same reports and returns, pay the same | ||||||
21 | taxes and
be subject to all other provisions of this Article | ||||||
22 | relating to
manufacturers and importing distributors.
| ||||||
23 | Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require the | ||||||
24 | payment to
the Department of the taxes imposed by this Article | ||||||
25 | more than once with
respect to any quantity of alcoholic liquor | ||||||
26 | sold or used within this
State.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | No tax is imposed by this Act on sales of alcoholic liquor | ||||||
2 | by
Illinois licensed foreign importers to Illinois licensed | ||||||
3 | importing
distributors.
| ||||||
4 | All of the proceeds of the additional tax imposed by Public | ||||||
5 | Act 96-34 this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly | ||||||
6 | shall be deposited by the Department into the Capital Projects | ||||||
7 | Fund. The remainder of the tax imposed by this Act shall be | ||||||
8 | deposited by the Department into the General Revenue Fund. | ||||||
9 | The provisions of this Section 8-1 are severable under | ||||||
10 | Section 1.31 of the Statute on Statutes.
| ||||||
11 | (Source: P.A. 96-34, eff. 7-13-09; 96-37, eff. 7-13-09; 96-38, | ||||||

| ||||||
13 | Section 500. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | ||||||
14 | changing Sections 4-2, 5-2, 5-5.4, 5-5, 12-4.11, and 12-4.201 | ||||||
15 | and by setting forth and renumbering multiple versions of | ||||||
16 | Section 12-4.37 as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (305 ILCS 5/4-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-2)
| ||||||
18 | Sec. 4-2. Amount of aid.
| ||||||
19 | (a) The amount and nature of financial aid shall be | ||||||
20 | determined in accordance
with the grant amounts, rules and | ||||||
21 | regulations of the Illinois Department. Due
regard shall be | ||||||
22 | given to the self-sufficiency requirements of the family and to
| ||||||
23 | the income, money contributions and other support and resources | ||||||
24 | available, from
whatever source. However, the amount and nature |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of any financial aid is not
affected by the payment of any | ||||||
2 | grant under the "Senior Citizens and Disabled
Persons Property | ||||||
3 | Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
| ||||||
4 | distributions or items of income described under subparagraph | ||||||
5 | (X) of paragraph
(2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the | ||||||
6 | Illinois Income Tax Act. The aid
shall be sufficient, when | ||||||
7 | added to all other income, money contributions and
support to | ||||||
8 | provide the family with a grant in the amount established by
| ||||||
9 | Department regulation. Beginning July 1, 2008, the Department | ||||||
10 | of Human Services shall increase TANF grant amounts in effect | ||||||
11 | on June 30, 2008 by 9%.
| ||||||
12 | Subject to appropriation, beginning on July 1, 2008, the | ||||||
13 | Department of Human Services shall increase TANF grant amounts | ||||||
14 | in effect on June 30, 2008 by 15%. The Department is authorized | ||||||
15 | to administer this increase but may not otherwise adopt any | ||||||
16 | rule to implement this increase. | ||||||
17 | (b) The Illinois Department may conduct special projects, | ||||||
18 | which may be
known as Grant Diversion Projects, under which | ||||||
19 | recipients of financial aid
under this Article are placed in | ||||||
20 | jobs and their grants are diverted to the
employer who in turn | ||||||
21 | makes payments to the recipients in the form of salary
or other | ||||||
22 | employment benefits. The Illinois Department shall by rule | ||||||
23 | specify
the terms and conditions of such Grant Diversion | ||||||
24 | Projects. Such projects
shall take into consideration and be | ||||||
25 | coordinated with the programs
administered under the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Emergency Employment Development Act.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The amount and nature of the financial aid for a child | ||||||
2 | requiring
care outside his own home shall be determined in | ||||||
3 | accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Illinois | ||||||
4 | Department, with due regard to the needs
and requirements of | ||||||
5 | the child in the foster home or institution in which
he has | ||||||
6 | been placed.
| ||||||
7 | (d) If the Department establishes grants for family units | ||||||
8 | consisting
exclusively of a pregnant woman with no dependent | ||||||
9 | child or including her
husband if living with her, the grant | ||||||
10 | amount for such a unit
shall be equal to the grant amount for | ||||||
11 | an assistance unit consisting of one
adult, or 2 persons if the | ||||||
12 | husband is included. Other than as herein
described, an unborn | ||||||
13 | child shall not be counted
in determining the size of an | ||||||
14 | assistance unit or for calculating grants.
| ||||||
15 | Payments for basic maintenance requirements of a child or | ||||||
16 | children
and the relative with whom the child or children are | ||||||
17 | living shall be
prescribed, by rule, by the Illinois | ||||||
18 | Department.
| ||||||
19 | Grants under this Article shall not be supplemented by | ||||||
20 | General
Assistance provided under Article VI.
| ||||||
21 | (e) Grants shall be paid to the parent or other person with | ||||||
22 | whom the
child or children are living, except for such amount | ||||||
23 | as is paid in
behalf of the child or his parent or other | ||||||
24 | relative to other persons or
agencies pursuant to this Code or | ||||||
25 | the rules and regulations of the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
26 | (f) Subject to subsection (f-5), an assistance unit, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receiving
financial
aid under this Article or
temporarily | ||||||
2 | ineligible to receive aid under this Article under a penalty
| ||||||
3 | imposed by the Illinois Department for failure to comply with | ||||||
4 | the eligibility
requirements or that voluntarily requests | ||||||
5 | termination of financial assistance
under this Article and | ||||||
6 | becomes subsequently eligible for assistance within 9
months, | ||||||
7 | shall not receive any increase in the amount of aid solely on | ||||||
8 | account
of the birth of a child; except that an increase is not | ||||||
9 | prohibited when the
birth is (i) of a child of a pregnant woman
| ||||||
10 | who became eligible for aid under this Article during the | ||||||
11 | pregnancy,
or (ii) of a child born within 10 months after the | ||||||
12 | date of implementation of
this subsection, or (iii) of a child | ||||||
13 | conceived after a family became
ineligible for assistance due | ||||||
14 | to income or marriage and at least 3 months of
ineligibility | ||||||
15 | expired before any reapplication for assistance. This | ||||||
16 | subsection
does not, however, prevent a unit from receiving a | ||||||
17 | general increase in the
amount of aid that is provided to all | ||||||
18 | recipients of aid under this Article.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department is authorized to transfer funds, | ||||||
20 | and shall use any
budgetary savings attributable to not | ||||||
21 | increasing the grants due to the births
of additional children, | ||||||
22 | to supplement existing funding for employment and
training | ||||||
23 | services for recipients of aid under this Article IV. The | ||||||
24 | Illinois
Department shall target, to the extent the | ||||||
25 | supplemental funding allows,
employment and training services | ||||||
26 | to the families who do not receive a grant
increase after the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | birth of a child. In addition, the Illinois Department
shall | ||||||
2 | provide, to the extent the supplemental funding allows, such | ||||||
3 | families
with up to 24 months of transitional child care | ||||||
4 | pursuant to Illinois Department
rules. All remaining | ||||||
5 | supplemental funds shall be used for employment and
training | ||||||
6 | services or transitional child care support.
| ||||||
7 | In making the transfers authorized by this subsection, the | ||||||
8 | Illinois
Department shall first determine, pursuant to | ||||||
9 | regulations adopted by the
Illinois Department for this | ||||||
10 | purpose, the amount of savings attributable to
not increasing | ||||||
11 | the grants due to the births of additional children. Transfers
| ||||||
12 | may be made from General Revenue Fund appropriations for | ||||||
13 | distributive purposes
authorized by Article IV of this Code | ||||||
14 | only to General Revenue Fund
appropriations for employability | ||||||
15 | development services including operating
and administrative | ||||||
16 | costs and related distributive purposes under Article
IXA of | ||||||
17 | this Code. The Director, with the approval of the Governor, | ||||||
18 | shall
certify the amount and affected line item appropriations | ||||||
19 | to the State
Comptroller.
| ||||||
20 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit | ||||||
21 | the Illinois
Department from using funds under this Article IV | ||||||
22 | to provide
assistance in the form of vouchers
that may be used | ||||||
23 | to pay for goods and services deemed by the Illinois
| ||||||
24 | Department, by rule, as suitable for the care of the child such | ||||||
25 | as diapers,
clothing, school supplies, and cribs.
| ||||||
26 | (f-5) Subsection (f) shall not apply to affect the monthly |
| |||||||
| |||||||

amount of
any family as a result of the birth of a | ||||||
2 | child on or after January 1, 2004.
As resources permit after | ||||||
3 | January 1, 2004, the Department may
cease applying subsection | ||||||
4 | (f) to limit assistance to families receiving
assistance under | ||||||
5 | this Article on January 1, 2004, with respect to children
born | ||||||

| ||||||
9 | (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
10 | Illinois
Department is authorized to reduce payment levels used | ||||||
11 | to determine cash grants
under this Article after December 31 | ||||||
12 | of any fiscal year if the Illinois
Department determines that | ||||||
13 | the caseload upon which the appropriations for the
current | ||||||
14 | fiscal year are based have increased by more than 5% and the
| ||||||
15 | appropriation is not sufficient to ensure that
cash benefits | ||||||
16 | under this Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for
| ||||||
17 | those cash benefits. Reductions in payment levels may be | ||||||
18 | accomplished by
emergency rule under Section 5-45 of the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Administrative Procedure Act,
except that the | ||||||
20 | limitation on the number of emergency rules that may be adopted
| ||||||
21 | in a 24-month period shall not apply and the provisions of | ||||||
22 | Sections 5-115 and
5-125 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
23 | Procedure Act shall not apply.
Increases in payment levels | ||||||
24 | shall be accomplished only in accordance with
Section 5-40 of | ||||||
25 | the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Before any rule
to | ||||||
26 | increase payment levels
promulgated under this Section shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | become effective, a joint resolution
approving the rule must be | ||||||
2 | adopted by a roll call vote by a majority of the
members | ||||||
3 | elected to each chamber of the General Assembly.

22 | Assembly by adopting the medical assistance rules in effect | ||||||

3 | of Health and Human Services, and the countable income | ||||||
4 | eligibility standard authorized by this paragraph 15. The | ||||||
5 | Department may not otherwise adopt any rule to implement | ||||||
6 | this increase except as authorized by law, to meet the | ||||||
7 | eligibility standards authorized by the federal government | ||||||
8 | in the Medicaid State Plan or the Title XXI Plan, or to | ||||||
9 | meet an order from the federal government or any court. | ||||||
10 | 16. 15. Subject to appropriation, uninsured persons | ||||||
11 | who are not otherwise eligible under this Section who have | ||||||
12 | been certified and referred by the Department of Public | ||||||
13 | Health as having been screened and found to need diagnostic | ||||||
14 | evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and | ||||||
15 | treatment, for prostate or testicular cancer. For the | ||||||
16 | purposes of this paragraph 16 15 , uninsured persons are | ||||||
17 | those who do not have creditable coverage, as defined under | ||||||
18 | the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, | ||||||
19 | or have otherwise exhausted any insurance benefits they may | ||||||
20 | have had, for prostate or testicular cancer diagnostic | ||||||
21 | evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and | ||||||
22 | treatment.
To be eligible, a person must furnish a Social | ||||||
23 | Security number.
A person's assets are exempt from | ||||||
24 | consideration in determining eligibility under this | ||||||
25 | paragraph 16 15 .
Such persons shall be eligible for medical | ||||||
26 | assistance under this paragraph 16 15 for so long as they |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | need treatment for the cancer. A person shall be considered | ||||||
2 | to need treatment if, in the opinion of the person's | ||||||
3 | treating physician, the person requires therapy directed | ||||||
4 | toward cure or palliation of prostate or testicular cancer, | ||||||
5 | including recurrent metastatic cancer that is a known or | ||||||
6 | presumed complication of prostate or testicular cancer and | ||||||
7 | complications resulting from the treatment modalities | ||||||
8 | themselves. Persons who require only routine monitoring | ||||||
9 | services are not considered to need treatment.
"Medical | ||||||
10 | assistance" under this paragraph 16 15 shall be identical | ||||||
11 | to the benefits provided under the State's approved plan | ||||||
12 | under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.
Notwithstanding | ||||||
13 | any other provision of law, the Department (i) does not | ||||||
14 | have a claim against the estate of a deceased recipient of | ||||||

16 | a lien against any homestead property or other legal or | ||||||
17 | equitable real property interest owned by a recipient of | ||||||
18 | services under this paragraph 16 15 . | ||||||
19 | In implementing the provisions of Public Act 96-20 this | ||||||
20 | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly , the Department is | ||||||
21 | authorized to adopt only those rules necessary, including | ||||||
22 | emergency rules. Nothing in Public Act 96-20 this amendatory | ||||||
23 | Act of the 96th General Assembly permits the Department to | ||||||
24 | adopt rules or issue a decision that expands eligibility for | ||||||
25 | the FamilyCare Program to a person whose income exceeds 185% of | ||||||
26 | the Federal Poverty Level as determined from time to time by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, unless the | ||||||
2 | Department is provided with express statutory authority. | ||||||
3 | The Illinois Department and the Governor shall provide a | ||||||
4 | plan for
coverage of the persons eligible under paragraph 7 as | ||||||
5 | soon as possible after
July 1, 1984.
| ||||||
6 | The eligibility of any such person for medical assistance | ||||||
7 | under this
Article is not affected by the payment of any grant | ||||||
8 | under the Senior
Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax | ||||||
9 | Relief and Pharmaceutical
Assistance Act or any distributions | ||||||
10 | or items of income described under
subparagraph (X) of
| ||||||
11 | paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Income Tax
Act. The Department shall by rule establish the | ||||||
13 | amounts of
assets to be disregarded in determining eligibility | ||||||
14 | for medical assistance,
which shall at a minimum equal the | ||||||
15 | amounts to be disregarded under the
Federal Supplemental | ||||||
16 | Security Income Program. The amount of assets of a
single | ||||||
17 | person to be disregarded
shall not be less than $2,000, and the | ||||||
18 | amount of assets of a married couple
to be disregarded shall | ||||||
19 | not be less than $3,000.
| ||||||
20 | To the extent permitted under federal law, any person found | ||||||
21 | guilty of a
second violation of Article VIIIA
shall be | ||||||
22 | ineligible for medical assistance under this Article, as | ||||||
23 | provided
in Section 8A-8.
| ||||||
24 | The eligibility of any person for medical assistance under | ||||||
25 | this Article
shall not be affected by the receipt by the person | ||||||
26 | of donations or benefits
from fundraisers held for the person |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in cases of serious illness,
as long as neither the person nor | ||||||
2 | members of the person's family
have actual control over the | ||||||
3 | donations or benefits or the disbursement
of the donations or | ||||||
4 | benefits.

22 | induced premature birth
intended to produce a live viable child | ||||||
23 | and such procedure is necessary

2 | wilful and wanton
manner upon a woman who was not pregnant at | ||||||
3 | the time such abortion
procedure was performed. The term "any | ||||||
4 | other type of remedial care" shall
include nursing care and | ||||||
5 | nursing home service for persons who rely on
treatment by | ||||||
6 | spiritual means alone through prayer for healing.
| ||||||
7 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a | ||||||
8 | comprehensive
tobacco use cessation program that includes | ||||||
9 | purchasing prescription drugs or
prescription medical devices | ||||||
10 | approved by the Food and Drug administration shall
be covered | ||||||
11 | under the medical assistance
program under this Article for | ||||||
12 | persons who are otherwise eligible for
assistance under this | ||||||
13 | Article.
| ||||||
14 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
15 | Illinois
Department may not require, as a condition of payment | ||||||
16 | for any laboratory
test authorized under this Article, that a | ||||||
17 | physician's handwritten signature
appear on the laboratory | ||||||
18 | test order form. The Illinois Department may,
however, impose | ||||||
19 | other appropriate requirements regarding laboratory test
order | ||||||
20 | documentation.
| ||||||
21 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall | ||||||
22 | provide the following services to
persons
eligible for | ||||||
23 | assistance under this Article who are participating in
| ||||||
24 | education, training or employment programs operated by the | ||||||
25 | Department of Human
Services as successor to the Department of | ||||||
26 | Public Aid:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) dental services provided by or under the | ||||||
2 | supervision of a dentist; and
| ||||||
3 | (2) eyeglasses prescribed by a physician skilled in the | ||||||
4 | diseases of the
eye, or by an optometrist, whichever the | ||||||
5 | person may select.
| ||||||
6 | The Illinois Department, by rule, may distinguish and | ||||||
7 | classify the
medical services to be provided only in accordance | ||||||
8 | with the classes of
persons designated in Section 5-2.
| ||||||
9 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
10 | provide coverage and reimbursement for amino acid-based | ||||||
11 | elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the | ||||||
12 | diagnosis and treatment of (i) eosinophilic disorders and (ii) | ||||||
13 | short bowel syndrome when the prescribing physician has issued | ||||||
14 | a written order stating that the amino acid-based elemental | ||||||
15 | formula is medically necessary.
| ||||||
16 | The Illinois Department shall authorize the provision of, | ||||||
17 | and shall
authorize payment for, screening by low-dose | ||||||
18 | mammography for the presence of
occult breast cancer for women | ||||||
19 | 35 years of age or older who are eligible
for medical | ||||||
20 | assistance under this Article, as follows: | ||||||
21 | (A) A baseline
mammogram for women 35 to 39 years of | ||||||
22 | age.
| ||||||
23 | (B) An annual mammogram for women 40 years of age or | ||||||
24 | older. | ||||||
25 | (C) A mammogram at the age and intervals considered | ||||||
26 | medically necessary by the woman's health care provider for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | women under 40 years of age and having a family history of | ||||||
2 | breast cancer, prior personal history of breast cancer, | ||||||
3 | positive genetic testing, or other risk factors. | ||||||
4 | (D) A comprehensive ultrasound screening of an entire | ||||||
5 | breast or breasts if a mammogram demonstrates | ||||||
6 | heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, when medically | ||||||
7 | necessary as determined by a physician licensed to practice | ||||||
8 | medicine in all of its branches. | ||||||
9 | All screenings
shall
include a physical breast exam, | ||||||
10 | instruction on self-examination and
information regarding the | ||||||
11 | frequency of self-examination and its value as a
preventative | ||||||
12 | tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography" | ||||||
13 | means
the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment | ||||||
14 | dedicated specifically
for mammography, including the x-ray | ||||||
15 | tube, filter, compression device,
and image receptor, with an | ||||||
16 | average radiation exposure delivery
of less than one rad per | ||||||
17 | breast for 2 views of an average size breast.
The term also | ||||||
18 | includes digital mammography.
| ||||||
19 | On and after July 1, 2008, screening and diagnostic | ||||||
20 | mammography shall be reimbursed at the same rate as the | ||||||
21 | Medicare program's rates, including the increased | ||||||
22 | reimbursement for digital mammography. | ||||||
23 | The Department shall convene an expert panel including | ||||||
24 | representatives of hospitals, free-standing mammography | ||||||
25 | facilities, and doctors, including radiologists, to establish | ||||||
26 | quality standards. Based on these quality standards, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department shall provide for bonus payments to mammography | ||||||
2 | facilities meeting the standards for screening and diagnosis. | ||||||
3 | The bonus payments shall be at least 15% higher than the | ||||||
4 | Medicare rates for mammography. | ||||||
5 | Subject to federal approval, the Department shall | ||||||
6 | establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally | ||||||
7 | qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics. | ||||||
8 | These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other | ||||||
9 | hospital-based mammography facilities. | ||||||
10 | The Department shall establish a methodology to remind | ||||||
11 | women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but | ||||||
12 | who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18 | ||||||
13 | months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography. | ||||||
14 | The Department shall establish a performance goal for | ||||||
15 | primary care providers with respect to their female patients | ||||||
16 | over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance | ||||||
17 | goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the | ||||||
18 | form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers | ||||||
19 | who meet that goal. | ||||||
20 | The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or | ||||||
21 | patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast | ||||||
22 | cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program | ||||||
23 | in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality | ||||||
24 | related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall | ||||||
25 | be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall | ||||||
26 | be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes | ||||||
2 | and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared | ||||||
3 | to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot | ||||||
4 | program. | ||||||
5 | Any medical or health care provider shall immediately | ||||||
6 | recommend, to
any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal | ||||||
7 | services and is suspected
of drug abuse or is addicted as | ||||||
8 | defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse
and Dependency | ||||||
9 | Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
| ||||||
10 | licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
| ||||||
11 | hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. | ||||||
12 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall assure | ||||||
13 | coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
| ||||||
14 | addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the | ||||||
15 | Illinois Medicaid
Program in conjunction with the Department of | ||||||
16 | Human Services.
| ||||||
17 | All medical providers providing medical assistance to | ||||||
18 | pregnant women
under this Code shall receive information from | ||||||
19 | the Department on the
availability of services under the Drug | ||||||
20 | Free Families with a Future or any
comparable program providing | ||||||
21 | case management services for addicted women,
including | ||||||
22 | information on appropriate referrals for other social services
| ||||||
23 | that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment | ||||||
24 | for addiction.
| ||||||
25 | The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the | ||||||
26 | Departments of Human
Services (as successor to the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse) and Public Health, through a | ||||||
2 | public awareness campaign, may
provide information concerning | ||||||
3 | treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and
addiction, prenatal | ||||||
4 | health care, and other pertinent programs directed at
reducing | ||||||
5 | the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of | ||||||
6 | medical
assistance.
| ||||||
7 | Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
8 | nor the Department of Human
Services shall sanction the | ||||||
9 | recipient solely on the basis of
her substance abuse.
| ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations | ||||||
11 | governing
the dispensing of health services under this Article | ||||||
12 | as it shall deem
appropriate. The Department
should
seek the | ||||||
13 | advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
| ||||||
14 | the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of | ||||||
15 | providing regular
advice on policy and administrative matters, | ||||||
16 | information dissemination and
educational activities for | ||||||
17 | medical and health care providers, and
consistency in | ||||||
18 | procedures to the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department may develop and contract with | ||||||
20 | Partnerships of
medical providers to arrange medical services | ||||||
21 | for persons eligible under
Section 5-2 of this Code. | ||||||
22 | Implementation of this Section may be by
demonstration projects | ||||||
23 | in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall
be | ||||||
24 | represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule, | ||||||
25 | shall
develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships. | ||||||
26 | Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sponsor organization be a
medical organization.
| ||||||
2 | The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with | ||||||
3 | medical
providers for physician services, inpatient and | ||||||
4 | outpatient hospital care,
home health services, treatment for | ||||||
5 | alcoholism and substance abuse, and
other services determined | ||||||
6 | necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for
delivery by | ||||||
7 | Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
| ||||||
8 | obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse | ||||||
9 | medical services
delivered by Partnership providers to clients | ||||||
10 | in target areas according to
provisions of this Article and the | ||||||
11 | Illinois Health Finance Reform Act,
except that:
| ||||||
12 | (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and | ||||||
13 | providing certain
services, which shall be determined by | ||||||
14 | the Illinois Department, to persons
in areas covered by the | ||||||
15 | Partnership may receive an additional surcharge
for such | ||||||
16 | services.
| ||||||
17 | (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate | ||||||
18 | financial
incentives to encourage the development of | ||||||
19 | Partnerships and the efficient
delivery of medical care.
| ||||||
20 | (3) Persons receiving medical services through | ||||||
21 | Partnerships may receive
medical and case management | ||||||
22 | services above the level usually offered
through the | ||||||
23 | medical assistance program.
| ||||||
24 | Medical providers shall be required to meet certain | ||||||
25 | qualifications to
participate in Partnerships to ensure the | ||||||
26 | delivery of high quality medical
services. These |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
| ||||||
2 | Department and may be higher than qualifications for | ||||||
3 | participation in the
medical assistance program. Partnership | ||||||
4 | sponsors may prescribe reasonable
additional qualifications | ||||||
5 | for participation by medical providers, only with
the prior | ||||||
6 | written approval of the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
7 | Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of | ||||||
8 | practitioners,
hospitals, and other providers of medical | ||||||
9 | services by clients.
In order to ensure patient freedom of | ||||||
10 | choice, the Illinois Department shall
immediately promulgate | ||||||
11 | all rules and take all other necessary actions so that
provided | ||||||
12 | services may be accessed from therapeutically certified | ||||||
13 | optometrists
to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric | ||||||
14 | Practice Act of 1987 without
discriminating between service | ||||||
15 | providers.
| ||||||
16 | The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United | ||||||
17 | States Health
Care Financing Administration to allow for the | ||||||
18 | implementation of
Partnerships under this Section.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department shall require health care | ||||||
20 | providers to maintain
records that document the medical care | ||||||
21 | and services provided to recipients
of Medical Assistance under | ||||||
22 | this Article. The Illinois Department shall
require health care | ||||||
23 | providers to make available, when authorized by the
patient, in | ||||||
24 | writing, the medical records in a timely fashion to other
| ||||||
25 | health care providers who are treating or serving persons | ||||||
26 | eligible for
Medical Assistance under this Article. All |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | dispensers of medical services
shall be required to maintain | ||||||
2 | and retain business and professional records
sufficient to | ||||||
3 | fully and accurately document the nature, scope, details and
| ||||||
4 | receipt of the health care provided to persons eligible for | ||||||
5 | medical
assistance under this Code, in accordance with | ||||||
6 | regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Department. The rules | ||||||
7 | and regulations shall require that proof
of the receipt of | ||||||
8 | prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
| ||||||
9 | eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany | ||||||
10 | each claim
for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such | ||||||
11 | medical services.
No such claims for reimbursement shall be | ||||||
12 | approved for payment by the Illinois
Department without such | ||||||
13 | proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department
shall have put | ||||||
14 | into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
| ||||||
15 | audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed | ||||||
16 | adequate by
the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs, | ||||||
17 | dentures, prosthetic
devices and eyeglasses for which payment | ||||||
18 | is being made are actually being
received by eligible | ||||||
19 | recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of
this | ||||||
20 | amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish | ||||||
21 | a
current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices | ||||||
22 | and any
other items recognized as medical equipment and | ||||||
23 | supplies reimbursable under
this Article and shall update such | ||||||
24 | list on a quarterly basis, except that
the acquisition costs of | ||||||
25 | all prescription drugs shall be updated no
less frequently than | ||||||
26 | every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall | ||||||
2 | require
that a written statement including the required opinion | ||||||
3 | of a physician
shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for | ||||||
4 | abortions, or induced
miscarriages or premature births. This | ||||||
5 | statement shall indicate what
procedures were used in providing | ||||||
6 | such medical services.
| ||||||
7 | The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of | ||||||
8 | medical
services, other than an individual practitioner or | ||||||
9 | group of practitioners,
desiring to participate in the Medical | ||||||
10 | Assistance program
established under this Article to disclose | ||||||
11 | all financial, beneficial,
ownership, equity, surety or other | ||||||
12 | interests in any and all firms,
corporations, partnerships, | ||||||
13 | associations, business enterprises, joint
ventures, agencies, | ||||||
14 | institutions or other legal entities providing any
form of | ||||||
15 | health care services in this State under this Article.
| ||||||
16 | The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of | ||||||
17 | medical
services desiring to participate in the medical | ||||||
18 | assistance program
established under this Article disclose, | ||||||
19 | under such terms and conditions as
the Illinois Department may | ||||||
20 | by rule establish, all inquiries from clients
and attorneys | ||||||
21 | regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
| ||||||
22 | inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens | ||||||
23 | for the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
24 | Enrollment of a vendor that provides non-emergency medical | ||||||
25 | transportation,
defined by the Department by rule,
shall be
| ||||||
26 | conditional for 180 days. During that time, the Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Healthcare and Family Services may
terminate the vendor's | ||||||
2 | eligibility to participate in the medical assistance
program | ||||||
3 | without cause. That termination of eligibility is not subject | ||||||
4 | to the
Department's hearing process.
| ||||||
5 | The Illinois Department shall establish policies, | ||||||
6 | procedures,
standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition, | ||||||
7 | repair and replacement
of orthotic and prosthetic devices and | ||||||
8 | durable medical equipment. Such
rules shall provide, but not be | ||||||
9 | limited to, the following services: (1)
immediate repair or | ||||||
10 | replacement of such devices by recipients without
medical | ||||||
11 | authorization; and (2) rental, lease, purchase or | ||||||
12 | lease-purchase of
durable medical equipment in a | ||||||
13 | cost-effective manner, taking into
consideration the | ||||||
14 | recipient's medical prognosis, the extent of the
recipient's | ||||||
15 | needs, and the requirements and costs for maintaining such
| ||||||
16 | equipment. Such rules shall enable a recipient to temporarily | ||||||
17 | acquire and
use alternative or substitute devices or equipment | ||||||
18 | pending repairs or
replacements of any device or equipment | ||||||
19 | previously authorized for such
recipient by the Department.
| ||||||
20 | The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home | ||||||
21 | prescreening
project, written inter-agency agreements with the | ||||||
22 | Department of Human
Services and the Department on Aging, to | ||||||
23 | effect the following: (i) intake
procedures and common | ||||||
24 | eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving
| ||||||
25 | non-institutional services; and (ii) the establishment and | ||||||
26 | development of
non-institutional services in areas of the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | where they are not currently
available or are undeveloped.
| ||||||
2 | The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in | ||||||
3 | cooperation
with other State Departments and agencies and in | ||||||
4 | compliance with
applicable federal laws and regulations, | ||||||
5 | appropriate and effective
systems of health care evaluation and | ||||||
6 | programs for monitoring of
utilization of health care services | ||||||
7 | and facilities, as it affects
persons eligible for medical | ||||||
8 | assistance under this Code.
| ||||||
9 | The Illinois Department shall report annually to the | ||||||
10 | General Assembly,
no later than the second Friday in April of | ||||||
11 | 1979 and each year
thereafter, in regard to:

| ||||||
7 | Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1045 this | ||||||
8 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly , if any, is | ||||||
9 | conditioned on the rules being adopted in accordance with all | ||||||
10 | provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and all | ||||||

diagnostic, | ||||||
15 | screening, preventive, and rehabilitative services; (14)
| ||||||
16 | transportation and such other expenses as may be necessary; | ||||||
17 | (15) medical
treatment of sexual assault survivors, as defined | ||||||
18 | in
Section 1a of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency | ||||||
19 | Treatment Act, for
injuries sustained as a result of the sexual | ||||||
20 | assault, including
examinations and laboratory tests to | ||||||
21 | discover evidence which may be used in
criminal proceedings | ||||||
22 | arising from the sexual assault; (16) the
diagnosis and | ||||||
23 | treatment of sickle cell anemia; and (17)
any other medical | ||||||
24 | care, and any other type of remedial care recognized
under the | ||||||
25 | laws of this State, but not including abortions, or induced
| ||||||
26 | miscarriages or premature births, unless, in the opinion of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | physician,
such procedures are necessary for the preservation | ||||||
2 | of the life of the
woman seeking such treatment, or except an | ||||||
3 | induced premature birth
intended to produce a live viable child | ||||||
4 | and such procedure is necessary
for the health of the mother or | ||||||
5 | her unborn child. The Illinois Department,
by rule, shall | ||||||
6 | prohibit any physician from providing medical assistance
to | ||||||
7 | anyone eligible therefor under this Code where such physician | ||||||
8 | has been
found guilty of performing an abortion procedure in a | ||||||
9 | wilful and wanton
manner upon a woman who was not pregnant at | ||||||
10 | the time such abortion
procedure was performed. The term "any | ||||||
11 | other type of remedial care" shall
include nursing care and | ||||||
12 | nursing home service for persons who rely on
treatment by | ||||||
13 | spiritual means alone through prayer for healing.
| ||||||
14 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a | ||||||
15 | comprehensive
tobacco use cessation program that includes | ||||||
16 | purchasing prescription drugs or
prescription medical devices | ||||||
17 | approved by the Food and Drug administration shall
be covered | ||||||
18 | under the medical assistance
program under this Article for | ||||||
19 | persons who are otherwise eligible for
assistance under this | ||||||
20 | Article.
| ||||||
21 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
22 | Illinois
Department may not require, as a condition of payment | ||||||
23 | for any laboratory
test authorized under this Article, that a | ||||||
24 | physician's handwritten signature
appear on the laboratory | ||||||
25 | test order form. The Illinois Department may,
however, impose | ||||||
26 | other appropriate requirements regarding laboratory test
order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | documentation.
| ||||||
2 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall | ||||||
3 | provide the following services to
persons
eligible for | ||||||
4 | assistance under this Article who are participating in
| ||||||
5 | education, training or employment programs operated by the | ||||||
6 | Department of Human
Services as successor to the Department of | ||||||
7 | Public Aid:
| ||||||
8 | (1) dental services provided by or under the | ||||||
9 | supervision of a dentist; and
| ||||||
10 | (2) eyeglasses prescribed by a physician skilled in the | ||||||
11 | diseases of the
eye, or by an optometrist, whichever the | ||||||
12 | person may select.
| ||||||
13 | The Illinois Department, by rule, may distinguish and | ||||||
14 | classify the
medical services to be provided only in accordance | ||||||
15 | with the classes of
persons designated in Section 5-2.
| ||||||
16 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
17 | provide coverage and reimbursement for amino acid-based | ||||||
18 | elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the | ||||||
19 | diagnosis and treatment of (i) eosinophilic disorders and (ii) | ||||||
20 | short bowel syndrome when the prescribing physician has issued | ||||||
21 | a written order stating that the amino acid-based elemental | ||||||
22 | formula is medically necessary.
| ||||||
23 | The Illinois Department shall authorize the provision of, | ||||||
24 | and shall
authorize payment for, screening by low-dose | ||||||
25 | mammography for the presence of
occult breast cancer for women | ||||||
26 | 35 years of age or older who are eligible
for medical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assistance under this Article, as follows: | ||||||
2 | (A) A baseline
mammogram for women 35 to 39 years of | ||||||
3 | age.
| ||||||
4 | (B) An annual mammogram for women 40 years of age or | ||||||
5 | older. | ||||||
6 | (C) A mammogram at the age and intervals considered | ||||||
7 | medically necessary by the woman's health care provider for | ||||||
8 | women under 40 years of age and having a family history of | ||||||
9 | breast cancer, prior personal history of breast cancer, | ||||||
10 | positive genetic testing, or other risk factors. | ||||||
11 | (D) A comprehensive ultrasound screening of an entire | ||||||
12 | breast or breasts if a mammogram demonstrates | ||||||
13 | heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, when medically | ||||||
14 | necessary as determined by a physician licensed to practice | ||||||
15 | medicine in all of its branches. | ||||||
16 | All screenings
shall
include a physical breast exam, | ||||||
17 | instruction on self-examination and
information regarding the | ||||||
18 | frequency of self-examination and its value as a
preventative | ||||||
19 | tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography" | ||||||
20 | means
the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment | ||||||
21 | dedicated specifically
for mammography, including the x-ray | ||||||
22 | tube, filter, compression device,
and image receptor, with an | ||||||
23 | average radiation exposure delivery
of less than one rad per | ||||||
24 | breast for 2 views of an average size breast.
The term also | ||||||
25 | includes digital mammography.
| ||||||
26 | On and after July 1, 2008, screening and diagnostic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mammography shall be reimbursed at the same rate as the | ||||||
2 | Medicare program's rates, including the increased | ||||||
3 | reimbursement for digital mammography. | ||||||
4 | The Department shall convene an expert panel including | ||||||
5 | representatives of hospitals, free-standing mammography | ||||||
6 | facilities, and doctors, including radiologists, to establish | ||||||
7 | quality standards. Based on these quality standards, the | ||||||
8 | Department shall provide for bonus payments to mammography | ||||||
9 | facilities meeting the standards for screening and diagnosis. | ||||||
10 | The bonus payments shall be at least 15% higher than the | ||||||
11 | Medicare rates for mammography. | ||||||
12 | Subject to federal approval, the Department shall | ||||||
13 | establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally | ||||||
14 | qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics. | ||||||
15 | These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other | ||||||
16 | hospital-based mammography facilities. | ||||||
17 | The Department shall establish a methodology to remind | ||||||
18 | women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but | ||||||
19 | who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18 | ||||||
20 | months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography. | ||||||
21 | The Department shall establish a performance goal for | ||||||
22 | primary care providers with respect to their female patients | ||||||
23 | over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance | ||||||
24 | goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the | ||||||
25 | form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers | ||||||
26 | who meet that goal. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or | ||||||
2 | patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast | ||||||
3 | cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program | ||||||
4 | in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality | ||||||
5 | related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall | ||||||
6 | be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall | ||||||
7 | be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the | ||||||
8 | pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes | ||||||
9 | and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared | ||||||
10 | to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot | ||||||
11 | program. | ||||||
12 | Any medical or health care provider shall immediately | ||||||
13 | recommend, to
any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal | ||||||
14 | services and is suspected
of drug abuse or is addicted as | ||||||
15 | defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse
and Dependency | ||||||
16 | Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
| ||||||
17 | licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
| ||||||
18 | hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. | ||||||
19 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall assure | ||||||
20 | coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
| ||||||
21 | addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the | ||||||
22 | Illinois Medicaid
Program in conjunction with the Department of | ||||||
23 | Human Services.
| ||||||
24 | All medical providers providing medical assistance to | ||||||
25 | pregnant women
under this Code shall receive information from | ||||||
26 | the Department on the
availability of services under the Drug |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Free Families with a Future or any
comparable program providing | ||||||
2 | case management services for addicted women,
including | ||||||
3 | information on appropriate referrals for other social services
| ||||||
4 | that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment | ||||||
5 | for addiction.
| ||||||
6 | The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the | ||||||
7 | Departments of Human
Services (as successor to the Department | ||||||
8 | of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse) and Public Health, through a | ||||||
9 | public awareness campaign, may
provide information concerning | ||||||
10 | treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and
addiction, prenatal | ||||||
11 | health care, and other pertinent programs directed at
reducing | ||||||
12 | the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of | ||||||
13 | medical
assistance.
| ||||||
14 | Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
15 | nor the Department of Human
Services shall sanction the | ||||||
16 | recipient solely on the basis of
her substance abuse.
| ||||||
17 | The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations | ||||||
18 | governing
the dispensing of health services under this Article | ||||||
19 | as it shall deem
appropriate. The Department
should
seek the | ||||||
20 | advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
| ||||||
21 | the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of | ||||||
22 | providing regular
advice on policy and administrative matters, | ||||||
23 | information dissemination and
educational activities for | ||||||
24 | medical and health care providers, and
consistency in | ||||||
25 | procedures to the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
26 | Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a health care |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provider under the medical assistance program may elect, in | ||||||
2 | lieu of receiving direct payment for services provided under | ||||||
3 | that program, to participate in the State Employees Deferred | ||||||
4 | Compensation Plan adopted under Article 24 of the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Pension Code. A health care provider who elects to participate | ||||||
6 | in the plan does not have a cause of action against the State | ||||||
7 | for any damages allegedly suffered by the provider as a result | ||||||
8 | of any delay by the State in crediting the amount of any | ||||||
9 | contribution to the provider's plan account. | ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department may develop and contract with | ||||||
11 | Partnerships of
medical providers to arrange medical services | ||||||
12 | for persons eligible under
Section 5-2 of this Code. | ||||||
13 | Implementation of this Section may be by
demonstration projects | ||||||
14 | in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall
be | ||||||
15 | represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule, | ||||||
16 | shall
develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships. | ||||||
17 | Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require that the | ||||||
18 | sponsor organization be a
medical organization.
| ||||||
19 | The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with | ||||||
20 | medical
providers for physician services, inpatient and | ||||||
21 | outpatient hospital care,
home health services, treatment for | ||||||
22 | alcoholism and substance abuse, and
other services determined | ||||||
23 | necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for
delivery by | ||||||
24 | Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
| ||||||
25 | obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse | ||||||
26 | medical services
delivered by Partnership providers to clients |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in target areas according to
provisions of this Article and the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Health Finance Reform Act,
except that:
| ||||||
3 | (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and | ||||||
4 | providing certain
services, which shall be determined by | ||||||
5 | the Illinois Department, to persons
in areas covered by the | ||||||
6 | Partnership may receive an additional surcharge
for such | ||||||
7 | services.
| ||||||
8 | (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate | ||||||
9 | financial
incentives to encourage the development of | ||||||
10 | Partnerships and the efficient
delivery of medical care.
| ||||||
11 | (3) Persons receiving medical services through | ||||||
12 | Partnerships may receive
medical and case management | ||||||
13 | services above the level usually offered
through the | ||||||
14 | medical assistance program.
| ||||||
15 | Medical providers shall be required to meet certain | ||||||
16 | qualifications to
participate in Partnerships to ensure the | ||||||
17 | delivery of high quality medical
services. These | ||||||
18 | qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
| ||||||
19 | Department and may be higher than qualifications for | ||||||
20 | participation in the
medical assistance program. Partnership | ||||||
21 | sponsors may prescribe reasonable
additional qualifications | ||||||
22 | for participation by medical providers, only with
the prior | ||||||
23 | written approval of the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
24 | Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of | ||||||
25 | practitioners,
hospitals, and other providers of medical | ||||||
26 | services by clients.
In order to ensure patient freedom of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | choice, the Illinois Department shall
immediately promulgate | ||||||
2 | all rules and take all other necessary actions so that
provided | ||||||
3 | services may be accessed from therapeutically certified | ||||||
4 | optometrists
to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric | ||||||
5 | Practice Act of 1987 without
discriminating between service | ||||||
6 | providers.
| ||||||
7 | The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United | ||||||
8 | States Health
Care Financing Administration to allow for the | ||||||
9 | implementation of
Partnerships under this Section.
| ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall require health care | ||||||
11 | providers to maintain
records that document the medical care | ||||||
12 | and services provided to recipients
of Medical Assistance under | ||||||
13 | this Article. The Illinois Department shall
require health care | ||||||
14 | providers to make available, when authorized by the
patient, in | ||||||
15 | writing, the medical records in a timely fashion to other
| ||||||
16 | health care providers who are treating or serving persons | ||||||
17 | eligible for
Medical Assistance under this Article. All | ||||||
18 | dispensers of medical services
shall be required to maintain | ||||||
19 | and retain business and professional records
sufficient to | ||||||
20 | fully and accurately document the nature, scope, details and
| ||||||
21 | receipt of the health care provided to persons eligible for | ||||||
22 | medical
assistance under this Code, in accordance with | ||||||
23 | regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Department. The rules | ||||||
24 | and regulations shall require that proof
of the receipt of | ||||||
25 | prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
| ||||||
26 | eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | each claim
for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such | ||||||
2 | medical services.
No such claims for reimbursement shall be | ||||||
3 | approved for payment by the Illinois
Department without such | ||||||
4 | proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department
shall have put | ||||||
5 | into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
| ||||||
6 | audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed | ||||||
7 | adequate by
the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs, | ||||||
8 | dentures, prosthetic
devices and eyeglasses for which payment | ||||||
9 | is being made are actually being
received by eligible | ||||||
10 | recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of
this | ||||||
11 | amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish | ||||||
12 | a
current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices | ||||||
13 | and any
other items recognized as medical equipment and | ||||||
14 | supplies reimbursable under
this Article and shall update such | ||||||
15 | list on a quarterly basis, except that
the acquisition costs of | ||||||
16 | all prescription drugs shall be updated no
less frequently than | ||||||
17 | every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
| ||||||
18 | The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall | ||||||
19 | require
that a written statement including the required opinion | ||||||
20 | of a physician
shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for | ||||||
21 | abortions, or induced
miscarriages or premature births. This | ||||||
22 | statement shall indicate what
procedures were used in providing | ||||||
23 | such medical services.
| ||||||
24 | The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of | ||||||
25 | medical
services, other than an individual practitioner or | ||||||
26 | group of practitioners,
desiring to participate in the Medical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assistance program
established under this Article to disclose | ||||||
2 | all financial, beneficial,
ownership, equity, surety or other | ||||||
3 | interests in any and all firms,
corporations, partnerships, | ||||||
4 | associations, business enterprises, joint
ventures, agencies, | ||||||
5 | institutions or other legal entities providing any
form of | ||||||
6 | health care services in this State under this Article.
| ||||||
7 | The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of | ||||||
8 | medical
services desiring to participate in the medical | ||||||
9 | assistance program
established under this Article disclose, | ||||||
10 | under such terms and conditions as
the Illinois Department may | ||||||
11 | by rule establish, all inquiries from clients
and attorneys | ||||||
12 | regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
| ||||||
13 | inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens | ||||||
14 | for the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
15 | Enrollment of a vendor that provides non-emergency medical | ||||||
16 | transportation,
defined by the Department by rule,
shall be
| ||||||
17 | conditional for 180 days. During that time, the Department of | ||||||
18 | Healthcare and Family Services may
terminate the vendor's | ||||||
19 | eligibility to participate in the medical assistance
program | ||||||
20 | without cause. That termination of eligibility is not subject | ||||||
21 | to the
Department's hearing process.
| ||||||
22 | The Illinois Department shall establish policies, | ||||||
23 | procedures,
standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition, | ||||||
24 | repair and replacement
of orthotic and prosthetic devices and | ||||||
25 | durable medical equipment. Such
rules shall provide, but not be | ||||||
26 | limited to, the following services: (1)
immediate repair or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | replacement of such devices by recipients without
medical | ||||||
2 | authorization; and (2) rental, lease, purchase or | ||||||
3 | lease-purchase of
durable medical equipment in a | ||||||
4 | cost-effective manner, taking into
consideration the | ||||||
5 | recipient's medical prognosis, the extent of the
recipient's | ||||||
6 | needs, and the requirements and costs for maintaining such
| ||||||
7 | equipment. Such rules shall enable a recipient to temporarily | ||||||
8 | acquire and
use alternative or substitute devices or equipment | ||||||
9 | pending repairs or
replacements of any device or equipment | ||||||
10 | previously authorized for such
recipient by the Department.
| ||||||
11 | The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home | ||||||
12 | prescreening
project, written inter-agency agreements with the | ||||||
13 | Department of Human
Services and the Department on Aging, to | ||||||
14 | effect the following: (i) intake
procedures and common | ||||||
15 | eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving
| ||||||
16 | non-institutional services; and (ii) the establishment and | ||||||
17 | development of
non-institutional services in areas of the State | ||||||
18 | where they are not currently
available or are undeveloped.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in | ||||||
20 | cooperation
with other State Departments and agencies and in | ||||||
21 | compliance with
applicable federal laws and regulations, | ||||||
22 | appropriate and effective
systems of health care evaluation and | ||||||
23 | programs for monitoring of
utilization of health care services | ||||||
24 | and facilities, as it affects
persons eligible for medical | ||||||
25 | assistance under this Code.
| ||||||
26 | The Illinois Department shall report annually to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | General Assembly,
no later than the second Friday in April of | ||||||
2 | 1979 and each year
thereafter, in regard to:

6 | the various medical
services by medical vendors;
| ||||||
7 | (c) current rate structures and proposed changes in | ||||||
8 | those rate structures
for the various medical vendors; and
| ||||||
9 | (d) efforts at utilization review and control by the | ||||||
10 | Illinois Department.
| ||||||
11 | The period covered by each report shall be the 3 years | ||||||

| ||||||
24 | Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1045 this | ||||||
25 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly , if any, is | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

for inflation, except that the capital cost element | ||||||
2 | for newly constructed
facilities shall be based upon projected | ||||||
3 | budgets. The annually established

12 | Division of Specialized Care for Children shall jointly prepare | ||||||
13 | a work plan for fully integrating these data sets into the | ||||||
14 | medical data warehouse. The work plan shall provide an overall | ||||||
15 | project design, including defining a mutually acceptable | ||||||
16 | transfer format for each discrete data set, the data update | ||||||
17 | frequency, and a single method of data transfer for each data | ||||||
18 | set. By October 1, 2009, the Department of Public Health shall | ||||||
19 | grant to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
20 | complete access to all vital records data. The Department of | ||||||
21 | Public Health shall prepare a report detailing that this task | ||||||
22 | has been accomplished and submit this report to the Commission | ||||||
23 | on Government Forecasting and Accountability by October 15, | ||||||

25 | loaded into the medical data warehouse. By July 1, 2010, data | ||||||
26 | from the various sources shall be processed so as to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compatible with other data in the medical data warehouse and | ||||||
2 | available for analysis in an integrated manner. | ||||||
3 | With the cooperation of the other agencies, HFS shall | ||||||
4 | submit status reports on the progress of these efforts to the | ||||||
5 | Governor and the General Assembly no later than October 1, 2009 | ||||||
6 | and April 1, 2010, with a final report due no later than | ||||||
7 | November 1, 2010. | ||||||
8 | On an ongoing basis, the 4 agencies shall review the | ||||||
9 | feasibility of adding data from additional sources to the | ||||||
10 | warehouse. Such review may take into account the cost | ||||||
11 | effectiveness of adding the data, the utility of adding data | ||||||
12 | that is not available as identifiable individual record level | ||||||
13 | data, the requirements related to adding data owned by another | ||||||
14 | entity or not available in electronic form, whether sharing of | ||||||
15 | the data is otherwise prohibited by law and the resources | ||||||
16 | required and available for effecting the addition. | ||||||

11 | changing Sections 6 and 13 as follows:
| ||||||
12 | (305 ILCS 20/6) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1406)
| ||||||
13 | Sec. 6. Eligibility, Conditions of Participation, and | ||||||
14 | Energy Assistance.
| ||||||
15 | (a) Any person who is a resident of the State of Illinois | ||||||
16 | and whose
household income is not greater than an amount | ||||||
17 | determined annually by the
Department, in consultation with the | ||||||
18 | Policy Advisory Council, may
apply for assistance pursuant to | ||||||
19 | this Act in accordance with regulations
promulgated by the | ||||||
20 | Department. In setting the annual eligibility level, the
| ||||||
21 | Department shall consider the amount of available funding and | ||||||
22 | may not set a
limit higher than 150% of the federal nonfarm | ||||||
23 | poverty level as established by
the federal Office of | ||||||
24 | Management and Budget; except that for the period ending June |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 30, 2012, or until the expenditure of federal resources | ||||||
2 | allocated for energy assistance programs by the American | ||||||
3 | Recovery and Reinvestment Act, whichever occurs first, the | ||||||
4 | Department may not establish limits higher than 200% of that | ||||||
5 | poverty level.
| ||||||
6 | (b) Applicants who qualify for assistance pursuant to | ||||||
7 | subsection (a) of
this Section shall, subject to appropriation | ||||||
8 | from the General Assembly and
subject to availability of funds | ||||||
9 | to the Department, receive energy
assistance as provided by | ||||||
10 | this Act. The Department, upon receipt
of monies authorized | ||||||
11 | pursuant to this Act for energy assistance, shall commit
funds | ||||||
12 | for each qualified applicant in an amount determined by the
| ||||||
13 | Department. In determining the amounts of assistance to be | ||||||
14 | provided to or
on behalf of a qualified applicant, the | ||||||
15 | Department shall ensure that the
highest amounts of assistance | ||||||
16 | go to households with the greatest energy
costs in relation to | ||||||
17 | household income. The Department shall include
factors such as | ||||||
18 | energy costs, household size, household income, and region
of | ||||||
19 | the State when determining individual household benefits. In | ||||||
20 | setting
assistance levels, the Department shall attempt to | ||||||
21 | provide assistance to
approximately the same number of | ||||||
22 | households who participated in the 1991
Residential Energy | ||||||
23 | Assistance Partnership Program. Such assistance levels
shall | ||||||
24 | be adjusted annually on the basis of funding
availability and | ||||||
25 | energy costs. In promulgating rules for the
administration of | ||||||
26 | this
Section the Department shall assure that a minimum of 1/3 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of funds
available for benefits to eligible households with the | ||||||
2 | lowest incomes and that elderly and
disabled households are | ||||||
3 | offered a priority application
period.
| ||||||
4 | (c) If the applicant is not a customer of record of an | ||||||
5 | energy provider for
energy services or an applicant for such | ||||||
6 | service, such applicant shall
receive a direct energy | ||||||
7 | assistance payment in an amount established by the
Department | ||||||
8 | for all such applicants under this Act; provided, however, that
| ||||||
9 | such an applicant must have rental expenses for housing greater | ||||||
10 | than 30% of
household income.
| ||||||
11 | (c-1) This subsection shall apply only in cases where: (1) | ||||||
12 | the applicant is not a customer of record of an energy provider | ||||||
13 | because energy services are provided by the owner of the unit | ||||||
14 | as a portion of the rent; (2) the applicant resides in housing | ||||||
15 | subsidized or developed with funds provided under the Rental | ||||||
16 | Housing Support Program Act or under a similar locally funded | ||||||
17 | rent subsidy program, or is the voucher holder who resides in a | ||||||
18 | rental unit within the State of Illinois and whose monthly rent | ||||||
19 | is subsidized by the tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher | ||||||
20 | Program under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; and | ||||||
21 | (3) the rental expenses for housing are no more than 30% of | ||||||
22 | household income. In such cases, the household may apply for an | ||||||
23 | energy assistance payment under this Act and the owner of the | ||||||
24 | housing unit shall cooperate with the applicant by providing | ||||||
25 | documentation of the energy costs for that unit. Any | ||||||
26 | compensation paid to the energy provider who supplied energy |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | services to the household shall be paid on behalf of the owner | ||||||
2 | of the housing unit providing energy services to the household. | ||||||
3 | The Department shall report annually to the General Assembly on | ||||||
4 | the number of households receiving energy assistance under this | ||||||
5 | subsection and the cost of such assistance. The provisions of | ||||||
6 | this subsection (c-1), other than this sentence, are | ||||||
7 | inoperative after August 31, 2012. | ||||||
8 | (d) If the applicant is a customer of an energy provider, | ||||||
9 | such
applicant shall receive energy assistance in an amount | ||||||
10 | established by the
Department for all such applicants under | ||||||
11 | this Act, such amount to be paid
by the Department to the | ||||||
12 | energy provider supplying winter energy service to
such | ||||||
13 | applicant. Such applicant shall:
| ||||||
14 | (i) make all reasonable efforts to apply to any other | ||||||
15 | appropriate
source of public energy assistance; and
| ||||||
16 | (ii) sign a waiver permitting the Department to receive | ||||||
17 | income
information from any public or private agency | ||||||
18 | providing income or energy
assistance and from any | ||||||
19 | employer, whether public or private.
| ||||||
20 | (e) Any qualified applicant pursuant to this Section may | ||||||
21 | receive or have
paid on such applicant's behalf an emergency | ||||||
22 | assistance payment to enable
such applicant to obtain access to | ||||||
23 | winter energy services. Any such
payments shall be made in | ||||||
24 | accordance with regulations of the Department.
| ||||||
25 | (f) The Department may, if sufficient funds are available, | ||||||
26 | provide
additional benefits to certain qualified applicants:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) for the reduction of past due amounts owed to | ||||||
2 | energy providers;
and
| ||||||
3 | (ii) to assist the household in responding to | ||||||
4 | excessively high summer
temperatures or energy costs. | ||||||
5 | Households containing elderly members, children,
a person | ||||||
6 | with a disability, or a person with a medical need for | ||||||
7 | conditioned air
shall receive priority for receipt of such | ||||||
8 | benefits.

administration of the | ||||||
6 | Supplemental Low-Income Energy
Assistance Fund. The yearly | ||||||
7 | expenditures for weatherization may not exceed 10%

9 | yearly administrative expenses of the
Supplemental Low-Income | ||||||
10 | Energy Assistance Fund may not exceed

11 | collected during that year
pursuant to this Section.
| ||||||
12 | (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16-111
of the | ||||||

cooperative, as defined | ||||||
15 | in Section 3.4 of the Electric Supplier Act,
and municipal | ||||||
16 | utility, as referenced in Section 3-105 of the Public Utilities
| ||||||
17 | Act, that is engaged in the delivery of electricity or the
| ||||||

19 | effective January 1, 1998,
assess each of
its customer accounts | ||||||
20 | a monthly Energy Assistance Charge for
the Supplemental | ||||||
21 | Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund.
The delivering public | ||||||
22 | utility, municipal electric or gas utility, or electric

the
fee imposed by this Section.
The

26 | (1) $0.48 per month on each account for
residential |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | electric service;

2 | (2) $0.48 per month on each account for
residential gas | ||||||
3 | service;
| ||||||

5 | electric service
which had less than 10 megawatts
of peak | ||||||
6 | demand during the previous calendar year;
| ||||||
7 | (4) $4.80 per month on each account for non-residential | ||||||

9 | therms of gas during the previous calendar year;
| ||||||
10 | (5) $360 per month on each account for non-residential | ||||||

14 | gas service
which had 4,000,000 or more therms of

15 | distributed to it during the previous calendar year. | ||||||
16 | The incremental change to such charges imposed by this | ||||||
17 | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall not (i) be | ||||||
18 | used for any purpose other than to directly assist customers | ||||||
19 | and (ii) be applicable to utilities serving less than 100,000 | ||||||
20 | customers in Illinois on January 1, 2009. | ||||||
21 | In addition, electric and gas utilities have committed, and | ||||||
22 | shall contribute, a one-time payment of $22 million to the | ||||||
23 | Fund, within 10 days after the effective date of the tariffs | ||||||
24 | established pursuant to Sections 16-111.8 and 19-145 of the | ||||||
25 | Public Utilities Act to be used for the Department's cost of | ||||||
26 | implementing the programs described in Section 18 of this |

1 | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the Arrearage | ||||||

5 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | ||||||
6 | Assembly, then the contribution from such utility shall be made | ||||||
7 | no later than February 1, 2010.

| ||||||
9 | (1) "residential electric service" means

| ||||||
4 | utility engaged in the delivery of electricity or the
| ||||||
5 | distribution of natural gas shall file with the Illinois
| ||||||
6 | Commerce Commission tariffs incorporating the Energy
| ||||||
7 | Assistance Charge in other charges stated in such tariffs, | ||||||
8 | which shall become effective no later than the beginning of the | ||||||
9 | first billing cycle following such filing.
| ||||||
10 | (e) The Energy Assistance Charge assessed by
electric and | ||||||
11 | gas public utilities shall be considered a charge
for public | ||||||
12 | utility service.
| ||||||
13 | (f) By the 20th day of the month following the month in | ||||||
14 | which the charges
imposed by the Section were collected, each | ||||||

Energy Assistance Charge on a return prescribed | ||||||
18 | and furnished by the

reasonably | ||||||
20 | require; provided, however, that a utility offering an | ||||||
21 | Arrearage Reduction Program pursuant to Section 18 of this Act | ||||||
22 | shall be entitled to net those amounts necessary to fund and | ||||||
23 | recover the costs of such Program as authorized by that Section | ||||||
24 | that is no more than the incremental change in such Energy | ||||||

1 | public
utility, municipal
utility, or electric cooperative may | ||||||
2 | elect either: (i) to apply
such partial payments first to | ||||||
3 | amounts owed to the
utility or cooperative for its services and | ||||||
4 | then to payment
for the Energy Assistance Charge or (ii) to | ||||||
5 | apply such partial payments
on a pro-rata basis between amounts | ||||||
6 | owed to the
utility or cooperative for its services and to | ||||||
7 | payment for the
Energy Assistance Charge.
| ||||||
8 | (g) The Department of Revenue shall deposit into the
| ||||||
9 | Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund all moneys
| ||||||
10 | remitted to it in accordance with subsection (f) of this
| ||||||
11 | Section; provided, however, that the amounts remitted by each | ||||||
12 | utility shall be used to provide assistance to that utility's | ||||||
13 | customers. The utilities shall coordinate with the Department | ||||||
14 | to establish an equitable and practical methodology for | ||||||
15 | implementing this subsection (g) beginning with the 2010 | ||||||
16 | program year.
| ||||||
17 | (h) (Blank). On or before December 31, 2002, the Department | ||||||
18 | shall
prepare a report for the General Assembly on the | ||||||
19 | expenditure of funds
appropriated from the Low-Income Energy | ||||||
20 | Assistance Block Grant Fund for the
program authorized under | ||||||
21 | Section 4 of this Act.

22 | (i) The Department of Revenue may establish such
rules as | ||||||
23 | it deems necessary to implement this Section.
| ||||||
24 | (j) The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (k) The charges imposed by this Section shall only apply to | ||||||
2 | customers of
municipal electric or gas utilities and electric | ||||||
3 | or gas cooperatives if
the municipal
electric or gas
utility or | ||||||
4 | electric or gas cooperative makes an affirmative decision to
| ||||||
5 | impose the
charge. If a municipal electric or gas utility or an | ||||||
6 | electric
cooperative makes an affirmative decision to impose | ||||||
7 | the charge provided by
this
Section, the municipal electric or | ||||||
8 | gas utility or electric cooperative shall
inform the
Department | ||||||
9 | of Revenue in writing of such decision when it begins to impose | ||||||
10 | the
charge. If a municipal electric or gas utility or electric | ||||||
11 | or gas
cooperative does not
assess
this charge, the Department | ||||||
12 | may not use funds from the Supplemental Low-Income
Energy | ||||||
13 | Assistance Fund to provide benefits to its customers under the | ||||||
14 | program
authorized by Section 4 of this Act.
| ||||||
15 | In its use of federal funds under this Act, the Department | ||||||
16 | may not cause a
disproportionate share of those federal funds | ||||||
17 | to benefit customers of systems
which do not assess the charge | ||||||
18 | provided by this Section.
| ||||||
19 | This Section is repealed effective December 31, 2013
unless
| ||||||
20 | renewed by action of the General Assembly. The General Assembly | ||||||
21 | shall
consider the results of the evaluations described in | ||||||
22 | Section 8 in its
deliberations.

24 | this suspicion to an agency designated to receive such
reports | ||||||
25 | under this Act or to the Department.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a-5) If any mandated reporter has reason to believe that | ||||||
2 | an eligible

modification, or other change | ||||||
21 | in the report or the forwarding of the report
to an agency | ||||||
22 | designated to receive such
reports under this Act or
to the | ||||||
23 | Department. The privileged quality of communication between | ||||||
24 | any
professional
person required to report
and his or her | ||||||
25 | patient or client shall not apply to situations involving
| ||||||
26 | abused, neglected, or financially exploited eligible adults |

constitute
grounds for failure to
report
as | ||||||
2 | required by this Act.

7 | notwithstanding any
requirements concerning the | ||||||
8 | confidentiality of information with respect to

15 | making of
a report, providing
information or records related to | ||||||
16 | a report, assessment, or services, or
participating in the | ||||||
17 | investigation of a report under
this Act in good faith, or | ||||||
18 | taking photographs or x-rays as a result of an
authorized | ||||||
19 | assessment, shall have immunity from any civil, criminal or
| ||||||
20 | other liability in any civil, criminal or other proceeding | ||||||
21 | brought in
consequence of making such report or assessment or | ||||||
22 | on account of submitting
or otherwise disclosing such | ||||||
23 | photographs or x-rays to any agency designated
to receive | ||||||
24 | reports of alleged or suspected abuse or neglect. Any person,
| ||||||
25 | institution or agency authorized by the Department to provide | ||||||
26 | assessment,
intervention, or administrative services under |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | services, have immunity from any civil, criminal
or other | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 520. The Older Adult Services Act is amended by | ||||||
2 | changing Sections 25 and 30 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (320 ILCS 42/25)
| ||||||
4 | Sec. 25. Older adult services restructuring. No later than | ||||||
5 | January 1, 2005, the Department shall commence the process of | ||||||
6 | restructuring the older adult services delivery system. | ||||||
7 | Priority shall be given to both the expansion of services and | ||||||
8 | the development of new services in priority service areas. | ||||||
9 | Subject to the availability of funding, the restructuring shall | ||||||
10 | include, but not be limited to, the following:
| ||||||
11 | (1) Planning. The Department on Aging and the Departments | ||||||
12 | of Public Health and Healthcare and Family Services shall | ||||||
13 | develop a plan to restructure the State's service delivery | ||||||
14 | system for older adults pursuant to this Act no later than | ||||||
15 | September 30, 2010. The plan shall include a schedule for the | ||||||
16 | implementation of the initiatives outlined in this Act and all | ||||||
17 | other initiatives identified by the participating agencies to | ||||||
18 | fulfill the purposes of this Act and shall protect the rights | ||||||
19 | of all older Illinoisans to services based on their health | ||||||
20 | circumstances and functioning level, regardless of whether | ||||||
21 | they receive their care in their homes, in a community setting, | ||||||
22 | or in a residential facility. Financing for older adult | ||||||
23 | services shall be based on the principle that "money follows | ||||||
24 | the individual" taking into account individual preference, but | ||||||
25 | shall not jeopardize the health, safety, or level of care of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | nursing home residents. The plan shall also identify potential | ||||||
2 | impediments to delivery system restructuring and include any | ||||||
3 | known regulatory or statutory barriers. | ||||||
4 | (2) Comprehensive case management. The Department shall | ||||||
5 | implement a statewide system of holistic comprehensive case | ||||||
6 | management. The system shall include the identification and | ||||||
7 | implementation of a universal, comprehensive assessment tool | ||||||
8 | to be used statewide to determine the level of functional, | ||||||
9 | cognitive, socialization, and financial needs of older adults. | ||||||
10 | This tool shall be supported by an electronic intake, | ||||||
11 | assessment, and care planning system linked to a central | ||||||
12 | location. "Comprehensive case management" includes services | ||||||
13 | and coordination such as (i) comprehensive assessment of the | ||||||
14 | older adult (including the physical, functional, cognitive, | ||||||
15 | psycho-social, and social needs of the individual); (ii) | ||||||
16 | development and implementation of a service plan with the older | ||||||
17 | adult to mobilize the formal and family resources and services | ||||||
18 | identified in the assessment to meet the needs of the older | ||||||
19 | adult, including coordination of the resources and services | ||||||
20 | with any other plans that exist for various formal services, | ||||||
21 | such as hospital discharge plans, and with the information and | ||||||
22 | assistance services; (iii) coordination and monitoring of | ||||||
23 | formal and family service delivery, including coordination and | ||||||
24 | monitoring to ensure that services specified in the plan are | ||||||
25 | being provided; (iv) periodic reassessment and revision of the | ||||||
26 | status of the older adult with the older adult or, if |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | necessary, the older adult's designated representative; and | ||||||
2 | (v) in accordance with the wishes of the older adult, advocacy | ||||||
3 | on behalf of the older adult for needed services or resources. | ||||||
4 | (3) Coordinated point of entry. The Department shall | ||||||
5 | implement and publicize a statewide coordinated point of entry | ||||||
6 | using a uniform name, identity, logo, and toll-free number. | ||||||
7 | (4) Public web site. The Department shall develop a public | ||||||
8 | web site that provides links to available services, resources, | ||||||
9 | and reference materials concerning caregiving, diseases, and | ||||||
10 | best practices for use by professionals, older adults, and | ||||||
11 | family caregivers. | ||||||
12 | (5) Expansion of older adult services. The Department shall | ||||||
13 | expand older adult services that promote independence and | ||||||
14 | permit older adults to remain in their own homes and | ||||||
15 | communities. | ||||||
16 | (6) Consumer-directed home and community-based services. | ||||||
17 | The Department shall expand the range of service options | ||||||
18 | available to permit older adults to exercise maximum choice and | ||||||
19 | control over their care. | ||||||
20 | (7) Comprehensive delivery system. The Department shall | ||||||
21 | expand opportunities for older adults to receive services in | ||||||
22 | systems that integrate acute and chronic care. | ||||||
23 | (8) Enhanced transition and follow-up services. The | ||||||
24 | Department shall implement a program of transition from one | ||||||
25 | residential setting to another and follow-up services, | ||||||
26 | regardless of residential setting, pursuant to rules with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | respect to (i) resident eligibility, (ii) assessment of the | ||||||
2 | resident's health, cognitive, social, and financial needs, | ||||||
3 | (iii) development of transition plans, and (iv) the level of | ||||||
4 | services that must be available before transitioning a resident | ||||||
5 | from one setting to another. | ||||||
6 | (9) Family caregiver support. The Department shall develop | ||||||
7 | strategies for public and private financing of services that | ||||||
8 | supplement and support family caregivers.
| ||||||
9 | (10) Quality standards and quality improvement. The | ||||||
10 | Department shall establish a core set of uniform quality | ||||||
11 | standards for all providers that focus on outcomes and take | ||||||
12 | into consideration consumer choice and satisfaction, and the | ||||||
13 | Department shall require each provider to implement a | ||||||
14 | continuous quality improvement process to address consumer | ||||||
15 | issues. The continuous quality improvement process must | ||||||
16 | benchmark performance, be person-centered and data-driven, and | ||||||
17 | focus on consumer satisfaction.
| ||||||
18 | (11) Workforce. The Department shall develop strategies to | ||||||
19 | attract and retain a qualified and stable worker pool, provide | ||||||
20 | living wages and benefits, and create a work environment that | ||||||
21 | is conducive to long-term employment and career development. | ||||||
22 | Resources such as grants, education, and promotion of career | ||||||
23 | opportunities may be used. | ||||||
24 | (12) Coordination of services. The Department shall | ||||||
25 | identify methods to better coordinate service networks to | ||||||
26 | maximize resources and minimize duplication of services and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ease of application. | ||||||
2 | (13) Barriers to services. The Department shall identify | ||||||
3 | barriers to the provision, availability, and accessibility of | ||||||
4 | services and shall implement a plan to address those barriers. | ||||||
5 | The plan shall: (i) identify barriers, including but not | ||||||
6 | limited to, statutory and regulatory complexity, reimbursement | ||||||
7 | issues, payment issues, and labor force issues; (ii) recommend | ||||||
8 | changes to State or federal laws or administrative rules or | ||||||
9 | regulations; (iii) recommend application for federal waivers | ||||||
10 | to improve efficiency and reduce cost and paperwork; (iv) | ||||||
11 | develop innovative service delivery models; and (v) recommend | ||||||
12 | application for federal or private service grants. | ||||||
13 | (14) Reimbursement and funding. The Department shall | ||||||
14 | investigate and evaluate costs and payments by defining costs | ||||||
15 | to implement a uniform, audited provider cost reporting system | ||||||
16 | to be considered by all Departments in establishing payments. | ||||||
17 | To the extent possible, multiple cost reporting mandates shall | ||||||
18 | not be imposed. | ||||||
19 | (15) Medicaid nursing home cost containment and Medicare | ||||||
20 | utilization. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
21 | (formerly Department of Public Aid), in collaboration with the | ||||||
22 | Department on Aging and the Department of Public Health and in | ||||||
23 | consultation with the Advisory Committee, shall propose a plan | ||||||
24 | to contain Medicaid nursing home costs and maximize Medicare | ||||||
25 | utilization. The plan must not impair the ability of an older | ||||||
26 | adult to choose among available services. The plan shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | include, but not be limited to, (i) techniques to maximize the | ||||||
2 | use of the most cost-effective services without sacrificing | ||||||
3 | quality and (ii) methods to identify and serve older adults in | ||||||
4 | need of minimal services to remain independent, but who are | ||||||
5 | likely to develop a need for more extensive services in the | ||||||
6 | absence of those minimal services. | ||||||
7 | (16) Bed reduction. The Department of Public Health shall | ||||||
8 | implement a nursing home conversion program to reduce the | ||||||
9 | number of Medicaid-certified nursing home beds in areas with | ||||||
10 | excess beds. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
11 | shall investigate changes to the Medicaid nursing facility | ||||||
12 | reimbursement system in order to reduce beds. Such changes may | ||||||
13 | include, but are not limited to, incentive payments that will | ||||||
14 | enable facilities to adjust to the restructuring and expansion | ||||||
15 | of services required by the Older Adult Services Act, including | ||||||
16 | adjustments for the voluntary closure or layaway of nursing | ||||||
17 | home beds certified under Title XIX of the federal Social | ||||||
18 | Security Act. Any savings shall be reallocated to fund | ||||||
19 | home-based or community-based older adult services pursuant to | ||||||
20 | Section 20. | ||||||
21 | (17) Financing. The Department shall investigate and | ||||||
22 | evaluate financing options for older adult services and shall | ||||||
23 | make recommendations in the report required by Section 15 | ||||||
24 | concerning the feasibility of these financing arrangements. | ||||||
25 | These arrangements shall include, but are not limited to: | ||||||
26 | (A) private long-term care insurance coverage for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | older adult services; | ||||||
2 | (B) enhancement of federal long-term care financing | ||||||
3 | initiatives; | ||||||
4 | (C) employer benefit programs such as medical savings | ||||||
5 | accounts for long-term care; | ||||||
6 | (D) individual and family cost-sharing options; | ||||||
7 | (E) strategies to reduce reliance on government | ||||||
8 | programs; | ||||||
9 | (F) fraudulent asset divestiture and financial | ||||||
10 | planning prevention; and | ||||||
11 | (G) methods to supplement and support family and | ||||||
12 | community caregiving. | ||||||
13 | (18) Older Adult Services Demonstration Grants. The | ||||||
14 | Department shall implement a program of demonstration grants | ||||||
15 | that will assist in the restructuring of the older adult | ||||||
16 | services delivery system, and shall provide funding for | ||||||
17 | innovative service delivery models and system change and | ||||||
18 | integration initiatives pursuant to subsection (g) of Section | ||||||
19 | 20. | ||||||
20 | (19) Bed need methodology update. For the purposes of | ||||||
21 | determining areas with excess beds, the Departments shall | ||||||
22 | provide information and assistance to the Health Facilities and | ||||||
23 | Services Review Board to update the Bed Need Methodology for | ||||||
24 | Long-Term Care to update the assumptions used to establish the | ||||||
25 | methodology to make them consistent with modern older adult | ||||||
26 | services.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (20) Affordable housing. The Departments shall utilize the | ||||||
2 | recommendations of Illinois' Annual Comprehensive Housing | ||||||
3 | Plan, as developed by the Affordable Housing Task Force through | ||||||
4 | the Governor's Executive Order 2003-18, in their efforts to | ||||||
5 | address the affordable housing needs of older adults.
| ||||||
6 | The Older Adult Services Advisory Committee shall | ||||||
7 | investigate innovative and promising practices operating as | ||||||
8 | demonstration or pilot projects in Illinois and in other | ||||||
9 | states. The Department on Aging shall provide the Older Adult | ||||||
10 | Services Advisory Committee with a list of all demonstration or | ||||||
11 | pilot projects funded by the Department on Aging, including | ||||||
12 | those specified by rule, law, policy memorandum, or funding | ||||||
13 | arrangement. The Committee shall work with the Department on | ||||||
14 | Aging to evaluate the viability of expanding these programs | ||||||
15 | into other areas of the State.

| ||||||
18 | (320 ILCS 42/30)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 30. Nursing home conversion program. | ||||||
20 | (a) The Department of Public Health, in collaboration with | ||||||
21 | the Department on Aging and the Department of Healthcare and | ||||||
22 | Family Services, shall establish a nursing home conversion | ||||||
23 | program. Start-up grants, pursuant to subsections (l) and (m) | ||||||
24 | of this Section, shall be made available to nursing homes as | ||||||
25 | appropriations permit as an incentive to reduce certified beds, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | retrofit, and retool operations to meet new service delivery | ||||||
2 | expectations and demands. | ||||||
3 | (b) Grant moneys shall be made available for capital and | ||||||
4 | other costs related to: (1) the conversion of all or a part of | ||||||
5 | a nursing home to an assisted living establishment or a special | ||||||
6 | program or unit for persons with Alzheimer's disease or related | ||||||
7 | disorders licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing | ||||||
8 | Act or a supportive living facility established under Section | ||||||
9 | 5-5.01a of the Illinois Public Aid Code; (2) the conversion of | ||||||
10 | multi-resident bedrooms in the facility into single-occupancy | ||||||
11 | rooms; and (3) the development of any of the services | ||||||
12 | identified in a priority service plan that can be provided by a | ||||||
13 | nursing home within the confines of a nursing home or | ||||||
14 | transportation services. Grantees shall be required to provide | ||||||
15 | a minimum of a 20% match toward the total cost of the project. | ||||||
16 | (c) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the co-location of | ||||||
17 | services or the development of multifunctional centers under | ||||||
18 | subsection (f) of Section 20, including a nursing home offering | ||||||
19 | community-based services or a community provider establishing | ||||||
20 | a residential facility. | ||||||
21 | (d) A certified nursing home with at least 50% of its | ||||||
22 | resident population having their care paid for by the Medicaid | ||||||
23 | program is eligible to apply for a grant under this Section. | ||||||
24 | (e) Any nursing home receiving a grant under this Section | ||||||
25 | shall reduce the number of certified nursing home beds by a | ||||||
26 | number equal to or greater than the number of beds being |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | converted for one or more of the permitted uses under item (1) | ||||||
2 | or (2) of subsection (b). The nursing home shall retain the | ||||||
3 | Certificate of Need for its nursing and sheltered care beds | ||||||
4 | that were converted for 15 years. If the beds are reinstated by | ||||||
5 | the provider or its successor in interest, the provider shall | ||||||
6 | pay to the fund from which the grant was awarded, on an | ||||||
7 | amortized basis, the amount of the grant. The Department shall | ||||||
8 | establish, by rule, the bed reduction methodology for nursing | ||||||
9 | homes that receive a grant pursuant to item (3) of subsection | ||||||
10 | (b). | ||||||
11 | (f) Any nursing home receiving a grant under this Section | ||||||
12 | shall agree that, for a minimum of 10 years after the date that | ||||||
13 | the grant is awarded, a minimum of 50% of the nursing home's | ||||||
14 | resident population shall have their care paid for by the | ||||||
15 | Medicaid program. If the nursing home provider or its successor | ||||||
16 | in interest ceases to comply with the requirement set forth in | ||||||
17 | this subsection, the provider shall pay to the fund from which | ||||||
18 | the grant was awarded, on an amortized basis, the amount of the | ||||||
19 | grant. | ||||||
20 | (g) Before awarding grants, the Department of Public Health | ||||||
21 | shall seek recommendations from the Department on Aging and the | ||||||
22 | Department of Healthcare and Family Services. The Department of | ||||||
23 | Public Health shall attempt to balance the distribution of | ||||||
24 | grants among geographic regions, and among small and large | ||||||
25 | nursing homes. The Department of Public Health shall develop, | ||||||
26 | by rule, the criteria for the award of grants based upon the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | following factors:
| ||||||
2 | (1) the unique needs of older adults (including those | ||||||
3 | with moderate and low incomes), caregivers, and providers | ||||||
4 | in the geographic area of the State the grantee seeks to | ||||||
5 | serve; | ||||||
6 | (2) whether the grantee proposes to provide services in | ||||||
7 | a priority service area; | ||||||
8 | (3) the extent to which the conversion or transition | ||||||
9 | will result in the reduction of certified nursing home beds | ||||||
10 | in an area with excess beds; | ||||||
11 | (4) the compliance history of the nursing home; and | ||||||
12 | (5) any other relevant factors identified by the | ||||||
13 | Department, including standards of need. | ||||||
14 | (h) A conversion funded in whole or in part by a grant | ||||||
15 | under this Section must not: | ||||||
16 | (1) diminish or reduce the quality of services | ||||||
17 | available to nursing home residents; | ||||||
18 | (2) force any nursing home resident to involuntarily | ||||||
19 | accept home-based or community-based services instead of | ||||||
20 | nursing home services; | ||||||
21 | (3) diminish or reduce the supply and distribution of | ||||||
22 | nursing home services in any community below the level of | ||||||
23 | need, as defined by the Department by rule; or | ||||||
24 | (4) cause undue hardship on any person who requires | ||||||
25 | nursing home care. | ||||||
26 | (i) The Department shall prescribe, by rule, the grant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | application process. At a minimum, every application must | ||||||
2 | include: | ||||||
3 | (1) the type of grant sought; | ||||||
4 | (2) a description of the project; | ||||||
5 | (3) the objective of the project; | ||||||
6 | (4) the likelihood of the project meeting identified | ||||||
7 | needs; | ||||||
8 | (5) the plan for financing, administration, and | ||||||
9 | evaluation of the project; | ||||||
10 | (6) the timetable for implementation;
| ||||||
11 | (7) the roles and capabilities of responsible | ||||||
12 | individuals and organizations; | ||||||
13 | (8) documentation of collaboration with other service | ||||||
14 | providers, local community government leaders, and other | ||||||
15 | stakeholders, other providers, and any other stakeholders | ||||||
16 | in the community;
| ||||||
17 | (9) documentation of community support for the | ||||||
18 | project, including support by other service providers, | ||||||
19 | local community government leaders, and other | ||||||
20 | stakeholders; | ||||||
21 | (10) the total budget for the project;
| ||||||
22 | (11) the financial condition of the applicant; and | ||||||
23 | (12) any other application requirements that may be | ||||||
24 | established by the Department by rule.
| ||||||
25 | (j) A conversion project funded in whole or in part by a | ||||||
26 | grant under this Section is exempt from the requirements of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act.
The Department of | ||||||
2 | Public Health, however, shall send to the Health Facilities and | ||||||
3 | Services Review Board a copy of each grant award made under | ||||||
4 | this Section. | ||||||
5 | (k) Applications for grants are public information, except | ||||||
6 | that nursing home financial condition and any proprietary data | ||||||
7 | shall be classified as nonpublic data.
| ||||||
8 | (l) The Department of Public Health may award grants from | ||||||
9 | the Long Term Care Civil Money Penalties Fund established under | ||||||
10 | Section 1919(h)(2)(A)(ii) of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR | ||||||
11 | 488.422(g) if the award meets federal requirements.
| ||||||
12 | (m) The Nursing Home Conversion Fund is created as a | ||||||
13 | special fund in the State treasury. Moneys appropriated by the | ||||||
14 | General Assembly or transferred from other sources for the | ||||||
15 | purposes of this Section shall be deposited into the Fund. All | ||||||
16 | interest earned on moneys in the fund shall be credited to the | ||||||
17 | fund. Moneys contained in the fund shall be used to support the | ||||||
18 | purposes of this Section. | ||||||

| ||||||
6 | denial of paternity. The signing and witnessing of the | ||||||
7 | acknowledgment of
parentage or, if the presumed father of | ||||||
8 | the child is not the biological father,
the acknowledgment | ||||||
9 | of parentage and denial of paternity conclusively
| ||||||
10 | establishes a parent and child relationship in accordance | ||||||
11 | with Sections 5 and 6
of the Illinois Parentage Act of | ||||||
12 | 1984.
| ||||||
13 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall | ||||||

the acknowledgment of parentage and denial of | ||||||
15 | paternity form to institutions,
county clerks, and State | ||||||
16 | and local registrars' offices. The form shall

| ||||||
17 | instructions to send the
original signed and witnessed | ||||||
18 | acknowledgment of parentage and denial of
paternity to the | ||||||

20 | acknowledgement of paternity and denial of paternity form | ||||||
21 | shall also include a statement informing the mother, the | ||||||
22 | alleged father, and the presumed father, if any, that they | ||||||
23 | have the right to request deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) tests | ||||||
24 | regarding the issue of the child's paternity and that by | ||||||
25 | signing the form, they expressly waive such tests. The | ||||||
26 | statement shall be set forth in bold-face boldface capital |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | letters not less than 0.25 inches in height.
| ||||||

| ||||||
5 | presumed to be the child's father is not the biological | ||||||
6 | father) presumed father
for their review at
the time the | ||||||
7 | opportunity is provided to establish a parent and child
| ||||||
8 | relationship:
| ||||||
9 | (i) An explanation of the implications of, | ||||||
10 | alternatives to, legal
consequences of, and the rights | ||||||
11 | and responsibilities
that arise from signing an
| ||||||
12 | acknowledgment of parentage and, if necessary, a | ||||||
13 | denial of
paternity, including an explanation of the | ||||||
14 | parental rights and
responsibilities of child support, | ||||||
15 | visitation, custody, retroactive support,
health | ||||||
16 | insurance coverage, and payment of birth expenses.
| ||||||
17 | (ii) An explanation of the benefits of having a | ||||||
18 | child's parentage
established and the availability of | ||||||
19 | parentage establishment and child
support
enforcement | ||||||
20 | services.
| ||||||
21 | (iii) A request for an application for child | ||||||
22 | support enforcement
services from
the
Department of | ||||||
23 | Healthcare and Family Services.
| ||||||
24 | (iv) Instructions concerning the opportunity to | ||||||
25 | speak, either by
telephone or in person, with staff of
| ||||||
26 | the Department of Healthcare and Family Services who |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | are trained to clarify information
and answer | ||||||
2 | questions about paternity establishment.
| ||||||
3 | (v) Instructions for completing and signing the | ||||||
4 | acknowledgment of
parentage and denial of paternity.
| ||||||
5 | (c) Provide an oral explanation of the documents and | ||||||
6 | instructions set
forth in subdivision (5)(b), including an | ||||||
7 | explanation of the implications of,
alternatives to, legal | ||||||
8 | consequences of, and the rights and responsibilities
that | ||||||
9 | arise from signing an acknowledgment of parentage and, if | ||||||
10 | necessary, a
denial of paternity. The oral explanation may | ||||||
11 | be given in person or through
the use of video or audio | ||||||
12 | equipment.
| ||||||
13 | (6) The institution, State or local registrar, or county | ||||||
14 | clerk shall provide
an
opportunity for the child's father or | ||||||
15 | mother to sign a rescission of parentage.
The signing and | ||||||
16 | witnessing of the rescission of parentage voids the
| ||||||
17 | acknowledgment of parentage and nullifies the presumption of | ||||||
18 | paternity if
executed and filed with the Department of | ||||||
19 | Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Illinois Department | ||||||
20 | of Public Aid) within the
time frame contained in Section 5
of | ||||||
21 | the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984.

22 | Healthcare and Family Services shall furnish the rescission of | ||||||
23 | parentage
form to institutions, county clerks, and State and | ||||||
24 | local registrars' offices.
The form shall include instructions | ||||||
25 | to send the original signed and witnessed
rescission of | ||||||
26 | parentage to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (7) An acknowledgment of paternity signed pursuant to | ||||||
2 | Section 6 of the
Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 may be | ||||||
3 | challenged in court only on the basis of
fraud, duress, or | ||||||
4 | material mistake of fact, with the burden of proof upon the
| ||||||
5 | challenging party. Pending outcome of a challenge to the | ||||||
6 | acknowledgment of
paternity, the legal responsibilities of the | ||||||
7 | signatories shall remain in full
force and effect, except upon | ||||||
8 | order of the court upon a showing of good cause.
| ||||||
9 | (8) When the process for acknowledgment of parentage as | ||||||
10 | provided for under
subsection (5) establishes the paternity of | ||||||
11 | a child whose certificate of birth
is on file in
another state, | ||||||
12 | the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall forward | ||||||
13 | a copy of
the
acknowledgment of parentage, the denial of | ||||||
14 | paternity, if applicable, and the
rescission of parentage, if | ||||||
15 | applicable, to the birth record agency of the state
where the | ||||||
16 | child's certificate of birth is on file.
| ||||||
17 | (9) In the event the parent-child relationship has been | ||||||
18 | established in
accordance with subdivision (a)(1) of Section 6 | ||||||
19 | of the Parentage Act of 1984,
the names of the biological | ||||||
20 | mother and biological father so established shall
be entered on | ||||||
21 | the child's birth certificate, and the names of the surrogate
| ||||||
22 | mother and surrogate mother's husband, if any, shall not be on | ||||||
23 | the birth
certificate.

24 | (1) the duration and gravity of the violation;
| ||||||
25 | (2) the presence or absence of due diligence on the | ||||||
26 | part of the
respondent in attempting to comply with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requirements of this
Act and regulations thereunder or to | ||||||
2 | secure relief therefrom as provided by
this Act;
| ||||||
3 | (3) any economic benefits accrued by the respondent
| ||||||
4 | because of delay in compliance with requirements, in which | ||||||
5 | case the economic
benefits shall be determined by the | ||||||
6 | lowest cost alternative for achieving
compliance;
| ||||||
7 | (4) the amount of monetary penalty which will serve to | ||||||
8 | deter further
violations by the respondent and to otherwise | ||||||
9 | aid in enhancing
voluntary
compliance with this Act by the | ||||||
10 | respondent and other persons
similarly
subject to the Act;
| ||||||
11 | (5) the number, proximity in time, and gravity of | ||||||
12 | previously
adjudicated violations of this Act by the | ||||||
13 | respondent;
| ||||||
14 | (6) whether the respondent voluntarily self-disclosed, | ||||||
15 | in accordance
with subsection (i) of this Section, the | ||||||
16 | non-compliance to the Agency; and
| ||||||
17 | (7) whether the respondent has agreed to undertake a | ||||||
18 | "supplemental
environmental project," which means an | ||||||
19 | environmentally beneficial project that
a respondent | ||||||
20 | agrees to undertake in settlement of an enforcement action | ||||||
21 | brought
under this Act, but which the respondent is not | ||||||
22 | otherwise legally required to
perform.
| ||||||
23 | In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be imposed | ||||||
24 | under subsection
(a) or paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (5) of | ||||||
25 | subsection (b) of this Section, the
Board shall ensure, in all | ||||||
26 | cases, that the penalty is at least as great as the
economic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | benefits, if any, accrued by the respondent as a result of the
| ||||||
2 | violation, unless the Board finds that imposition of such | ||||||
3 | penalty would result
in an arbitrary or unreasonable financial | ||||||
4 | hardship. However, such civil
penalty
may be off-set in whole | ||||||
5 | or in part pursuant to a supplemental
environmental project | ||||||
6 | agreed to by the complainant and the respondent.
| ||||||
7 | (i) A person who voluntarily self-discloses non-compliance | ||||||
8 | to the Agency,
of which the Agency had been unaware, is | ||||||
9 | entitled to a 100% reduction in the
portion of the penalty that | ||||||
10 | is not based on the economic benefit of
non-compliance if the | ||||||
11 | person can
establish the following:

16 | and
correcting violations;
| ||||||
17 | (2) that the non-compliance was disclosed in writing | ||||||
18 | within 30 days of
the date on which the person discovered | ||||||
19 | it;

26 | Illinois Attorney
General, or the State's Attorney of |

1 | the county in which the violation occurred;
| ||||||
2 | (iv) the reporting of the non-compliance by an | ||||||
3 | employee of the person
without that person's | ||||||
4 | knowledge; or
| ||||||
5 | (v) imminent discovery of the non-compliance by | ||||||
6 | the Agency;
| ||||||
7 | (4) that the non-compliance is being corrected and any | ||||||
8 | environmental
harm is being remediated in a timely fashion;
| ||||||
9 | (5) that the person agrees to prevent a recurrence of | ||||||
10 | the non-compliance;
| ||||||
11 | (6) that no related non-compliance events have | ||||||
12 | occurred in the
past 3 years at the same facility or in the | ||||||
13 | past 5 years as part of a

| ||||||
15 | (7) that the non-compliance did not result in serious | ||||||
16 | actual
harm or present an imminent and substantial | ||||||
17 | endangerment to human
health or the environment or violate | ||||||
18 | the specific terms of any judicial or
administrative order | ||||||
19 | or consent agreement;
| ||||||
20 | (8) that the person cooperates as reasonably requested | ||||||
21 | by the Agency
after the disclosure; and
| ||||||
22 | (9) that the non-compliance was identified voluntarily | ||||||
23 | and not through a
monitoring, sampling, or auditing | ||||||
24 | procedure that is required by statute, rule,
permit, | ||||||
25 | judicial or administrative order, or consent agreement.
| ||||||
26 | If a person can establish all of the elements under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection except
the element set forth in paragraph (1) of | ||||||
2 | this subsection, the person is
entitled to a 75% reduction in | ||||||
3 | the portion of the penalty that is not based
upon the economic | ||||||
4 | benefit of non-compliance.
| ||||||
5 | (j) In addition to an other remedy or penalty that may
| ||||||
6 | apply, whether civil or criminal, any person who violates | ||||||

| ||||||
21 | Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations | ||||||
22 | of traffic
regulations concerning the standing, parking, or | ||||||
23 | condition of
vehicles and automated traffic law violations.
| ||||||
24 | (a) Any municipality may provide by ordinance for a system | ||||||
25 | of
administrative adjudication of vehicular standing and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | parking violations and
vehicle compliance violations as | ||||||
2 | defined in this subsection and automated traffic law violations | ||||||
3 | as defined in Section 11-208.6 or 11-1201.1.
The administrative | ||||||
4 | system shall have as its purpose the fair and
efficient | ||||||
5 | enforcement of municipal regulations through the
| ||||||
6 | administrative adjudication of automated traffic law | ||||||
7 | violations and violations of municipal ordinances
regulating | ||||||
8 | the standing and parking of vehicles, the condition and use of
| ||||||
9 | vehicle equipment, and the display of municipal wheel tax | ||||||
10 | licenses within the
municipality's
borders. The administrative | ||||||
11 | system shall only have authority to adjudicate
civil offenses | ||||||
12 | carrying fines not in excess of $500 or requiring the | ||||||
13 | completion of a traffic education program, or both, that occur | ||||||
14 | after the
effective date of the ordinance adopting such a | ||||||
15 | system under this Section.
For purposes of this Section, | ||||||
16 | "compliance violation" means a violation of a
municipal | ||||||
17 | regulation governing the condition or use of equipment on a | ||||||
18 | vehicle
or governing the display of a municipal wheel tax | ||||||
19 | license.
| ||||||
20 | (b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative | ||||||
21 | adjudication
under this Section shall provide for:
| ||||||
22 | (1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to
| ||||||
23 | adopt, distribute and
process parking, compliance, and | ||||||
24 | automated traffic law violation notices and other notices | ||||||
25 | required
by this
Section, collect money paid as fines and | ||||||
26 | penalties for violation of parking
and compliance
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordinances and automated traffic law violations, and | ||||||
2 | operate an administrative adjudication system. The traffic
| ||||||
3 | compliance
administrator also may make a certified report | ||||||
4 | to the Secretary of State
under Section 6-306.5.
| ||||||
5 | (2) A parking, standing, compliance, or automated | ||||||
6 | traffic law violation notice
that
shall specify the date,
| ||||||
7 | time, and place of violation of a parking, standing,
| ||||||
8 | compliance, or automated traffic law
regulation; the | ||||||
9 | particular regulation
violated; any requirement to | ||||||
10 | complete a traffic education program; the fine and any | ||||||
11 | penalty that may be assessed for late payment or failure to | ||||||
12 | complete a required traffic education program, or both,
| ||||||
13 | when so provided by ordinance; the vehicle make and state | ||||||
14 | registration
number; and the identification number of the
| ||||||
15 | person issuing the notice.
With regard to automated traffic | ||||||
16 | law violations, vehicle make shall be specified on the | ||||||
17 | automated traffic law violation notice if the make is | ||||||
18 | available and readily discernible. With regard to | ||||||
19 | municipalities with a population of 1 million or more, it
| ||||||
20 | shall be grounds for
dismissal of a parking
violation if | ||||||
21 | the state registration number or vehicle make specified is
| ||||||
22 | incorrect. The violation notice shall state that the | ||||||
23 | completion of any required traffic education program, the | ||||||
24 | payment of any indicated
fine, and the payment of any | ||||||
25 | applicable penalty for late payment or failure to complete | ||||||
26 | a required traffic education program, or both, shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operate as a
final disposition of the violation. The notice | ||||||
2 | also shall contain
information as to the availability of a | ||||||
3 | hearing in which the violation may
be contested on its | ||||||
4 | merits. The violation notice shall specify the
time and | ||||||
5 | manner in which a hearing may be had.
| ||||||
6 | (3) Service of the parking, standing, or compliance
| ||||||
7 | violation notice by affixing the
original or a facsimile of | ||||||
8 | the notice to an unlawfully parked vehicle or by

| ||||||
10 | present and service of an automated traffic law violation | ||||||
11 | notice by mail to the
address
of the registered owner of | ||||||
12 | the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of
State | ||||||

14 | municipality or county of the identity of the owner of the | ||||||
15 | vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the | ||||||
16 | violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and | ||||||
17 | serve parking,
standing, and compliance
violation notices | ||||||
18 | shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered
on | ||||||
19 | the violation notice by signing his or her name to the | ||||||
20 | notice at
the time of service or in the case of a notice | ||||||
21 | produced by a computerized
device, by signing a single | ||||||
22 | certificate to be kept by the traffic
compliance
| ||||||
23 | administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices | ||||||
24 | produced by the
device while it was under his or her | ||||||
25 | control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation, | ||||||
26 | the ordinance shall
require
a
determination by a technician |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employed or contracted by the municipality or county that,
| ||||||
2 | based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle | ||||||
3 | was being operated in
violation of Section 11-208.6 or | ||||||
4 | 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance.
If the technician | ||||||
5 | determines that the
vehicle entered the intersection as | ||||||
6 | part of a funeral procession or in order to
yield the | ||||||
7 | right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation shall not | ||||||
8 | be issued. The original or a
facsimile of the violation | ||||||
9 | notice or, in the case of a notice produced by a
| ||||||
10 | computerized device, a printed record generated by the | ||||||
11 | device showing the facts
entered on the notice, shall be | ||||||
12 | retained by the
traffic compliance
administrator, and | ||||||
13 | shall be a record kept in the ordinary course of
business. | ||||||
14 | A parking, standing, compliance, or automated traffic law | ||||||
15 | violation notice issued,
signed and served in
accordance | ||||||
16 | with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the computer
| ||||||
17 | generated record shall be prima facie
correct and shall be | ||||||
18 | prima facie evidence of the correctness of the facts
shown | ||||||
19 | on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer generated
| ||||||
20 | record shall be admissible in any
subsequent | ||||||
21 | administrative or legal proceedings.
| ||||||
22 | (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered | ||||||
23 | owner of the
vehicle cited in the parking, standing, | ||||||
24 | compliance, or automated traffic law violation notice in
| ||||||
25 | which the owner may

26 | violation, and during which formal or
technical rules of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | evidence shall not apply; provided, however, that under
| ||||||
2 | Section 11-1306 of this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited | ||||||
3 | in the
violation notice likewise shall be provided an | ||||||
4 | opportunity for a hearing of
the same kind afforded the | ||||||
5 | registered owner. The hearings shall be
recorded, and the | ||||||
6 | person conducting the hearing on behalf of the traffic
| ||||||
7 | compliance
administrator shall be empowered to administer | ||||||
8 | oaths and to secure by
subpoena both the attendance and | ||||||
9 | testimony of witnesses and the production
of relevant books | ||||||
10 | and papers. Persons appearing at a hearing under this
| ||||||
11 | Section may be represented by counsel at their expense. The | ||||||
12 | ordinance may
also provide for internal administrative | ||||||
13 | review following the decision of
the hearing officer.

11 | state that the incomplete traffic education program or | ||||||
12 | the unpaid fine or
penalty, or both, is a debt due and | ||||||
13 | owing the municipality. The notice shall contain
| ||||||
14 | warnings that failure to complete any required traffic | ||||||
15 | education program or to pay any fine or penalty due and | ||||||
16 | owing the

17 | specified may result in the municipality's
filing of a | ||||||
18 | petition in the Circuit Court to have the incomplete | ||||||
19 | traffic education program or unpaid
fine or penalty, or | ||||||
20 | both, rendered a judgment as provided by this Section, | ||||||
21 | or may
result in suspension of the person's drivers | ||||||
22 | license for failure to complete a traffic education | ||||||
23 | program or to pay
fines or penalties, or both, for 10 | ||||||
24 | or more parking violations under Section 6-306.5 or 5 | ||||||

shall state that failure | ||||||
7 | to complete a required traffic education program or to pay | ||||||
8 | the fine or penalty owing, or both, within 45 days of
the | ||||||
9 | notice's date will result in the municipality notifying the | ||||||
10 | Secretary
of State that the person is eligible for | ||||||
11 | initiation of suspension
proceedings under Section 6-306.5 | ||||||
12 | of this Code. The notice shall also state

The notice of impending
drivers | ||||||
17 | license suspension shall be sent by first class United | ||||||
18 | States mail,
postage prepaid, to the address recorded with | ||||||
19 | the Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is | ||||||
20 | returned as undeliverable, to the last known address | ||||||
21 | recorded in a United States Post Office approved database.
| ||||||
22 | (7) Final determinations of violation liability. A | ||||||
23 | final
determination of violation liability shall occur | ||||||
24 | following failure to complete the required traffic | ||||||
25 | education program or
to pay the fine or penalty, or both, | ||||||
26 | after a hearing officer's determination of violation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any
| ||||||
2 | administrative review procedures provided by ordinance. | ||||||
3 | Where a person
fails to appear at a hearing to contest the | ||||||
4 | alleged violation in the time
and manner specified in a | ||||||
5 | prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's
determination | ||||||
6 | of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon
denial | ||||||
7 | of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or | ||||||
8 | (B) upon
expiration of the period for filing the petition | ||||||
9 | without a
filing having been made.
| ||||||
10 | (8) A petition to set aside a determination of parking, | ||||||
11 | standing,
compliance, or automated traffic law violation
| ||||||
12 | liability that may be filed by a person owing an unpaid | ||||||
13 | fine or penalty. A petition to set aside a determination of | ||||||
14 | liability may also be filed by a person required to | ||||||
15 | complete a traffic education program.
The petition shall be | ||||||
16 | filed with and ruled upon by the traffic compliance
| ||||||
17 | administrator in the manner and within the time specified | ||||||
18 | by ordinance.
The grounds for the petition may be limited | ||||||
19 | to: (A) the person not having
been the owner or lessee of | ||||||
20 | the cited vehicle on the date the
violation notice was | ||||||
21 | issued, (B) the person having already completed the | ||||||
22 | required traffic education program or paid the fine or
| ||||||
23 | penalty, or both, for the violation in question, and (C) | ||||||
24 | excusable failure to
appear at or
request a new date for a | ||||||
25 | hearing.
With regard to municipalities with a population of | ||||||
26 | 1 million or more, it
shall be grounds for
dismissal of a
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | parking violation if the state registration number, or | ||||||
2 | vehicle make if specified, is
incorrect. After the | ||||||
3 | determination of
parking, standing, compliance, or | ||||||
4 | automated traffic law violation liability has been set | ||||||
5 | aside
upon a showing of just
cause, the registered owner | ||||||
6 | shall be provided with a hearing on the merits
for that | ||||||
7 | violation.
| ||||||
8 | (9) Procedures for non-residents. Procedures by which | ||||||
9 | persons who are
not residents of the municipality may | ||||||
10 | contest the merits of the alleged
violation without | ||||||
11 | attending a hearing.
| ||||||
12 | (10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of | ||||||
13 | vehicular standing,
parking, compliance, or automated | ||||||
14 | traffic law regulations enacted by ordinance pursuant to | ||||||
15 | this
Section, and a
schedule of penalties for late payment | ||||||
16 | of the fines or failure to complete required traffic | ||||||
17 | education programs, provided, however,
that the total | ||||||
18 | amount of the fine and penalty for any one violation shall
| ||||||
19 | not exceed $250, except as provided in subsection (c) of | ||||||
20 | Section 11-1301.3 of this Code.
| ||||||
21 | (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to | ||||||
22 | carry into
effect the powers granted and purposes stated in | ||||||
23 | this Section.
| ||||||
24 | (c) Any municipality establishing vehicular standing, | ||||||
25 | parking,
compliance, or automated traffic law
regulations | ||||||
26 | under this Section may also provide by ordinance for a
program |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of vehicle immobilization for the purpose of facilitating
| ||||||
2 | enforcement of those regulations. The program of vehicle
| ||||||
3 | immobilization shall provide for immobilizing any eligible | ||||||
4 | vehicle upon the
public way by presence of a restraint in a | ||||||
5 | manner to prevent operation of
the vehicle. Any ordinance | ||||||
6 | establishing a program of vehicle
immobilization under this | ||||||
7 | Section shall provide:
| ||||||
8 | (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible | ||||||
9 | for
immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for | ||||||
10 | immobilization when the
registered owner of the vehicle has | ||||||
11 | accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education | ||||||
12 | programs or unpaid final
determinations of parking, | ||||||
13 | standing, compliance, or automated traffic law violation | ||||||
14 | liability, or both, as
determined by ordinance.
| ||||||
15 | (2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a | ||||||
16 | right to a
hearing to challenge the validity of the notice | ||||||
17 | by disproving liability
for the incomplete traffic | ||||||
18 | education programs or unpaid final determinations of | ||||||
19 | parking, standing, compliance, or automated traffic law
| ||||||
20 | violation liability, or both, listed
on the notice.
| ||||||
21 | (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has | ||||||
22 | been immobilized
or subsequently towed without the | ||||||
23 | completion of the required traffic education program or | ||||||
24 | payment of the outstanding fines and
penalties on parking, | ||||||
25 | standing, compliance, or automated traffic law violations, | ||||||
26 | or both, for which final
determinations have been
issued. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | An order issued after the hearing is a final administrative
| ||||||
2 | decision within the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of | ||||||
3 | Civil Procedure.
| ||||||
4 | (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice | ||||||
5 | advising the registered
owner of the vehicle of the right | ||||||
6 | to a hearing to challenge the validity
of the impoundment.
| ||||||
7 | (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking, | ||||||
8 | standing,
compliance, or automated traffic law
violations and | ||||||
9 | final administrative decisions issued after hearings
regarding | ||||||
10 | vehicle immobilization and impoundment made
under this Section | ||||||
11 | shall be subject to the provisions of
the Administrative Review | ||||||
12 | Law.
| ||||||
13 | (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education | ||||||
14 | program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining
unpaid | ||||||
15 | after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust, | ||||||
16 | administrative
remedies created under this Section and the | ||||||
17 | conclusion of any judicial
review procedures shall be a debt | ||||||
18 | due and owing the municipality and, as
such, may be collected | ||||||
19 | in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any required | ||||||
20 | traffic education program and payment in full
of any fine or | ||||||
21 | penalty resulting from a standing, parking,
compliance, or | ||||||
22 | automated traffic law violation shall
constitute a final | ||||||
23 | disposition of that violation.
| ||||||
24 | (f) After the expiration of the period within which | ||||||
25 | judicial review may
be sought for a final determination of | ||||||
26 | parking, standing, compliance, or automated traffic law
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violation, the municipality
may commence a proceeding in the | ||||||
2 | Circuit Court for purposes of obtaining a
judgment on the final | ||||||
3 | determination of violation. Nothing in this
Section shall | ||||||
4 | prevent a municipality from consolidating multiple final
| ||||||
5 | determinations of parking, standing, compliance, or automated | ||||||
6 | traffic law violations against a
person in a proceeding.
Upon | ||||||
7 | commencement of the action, the municipality shall file a | ||||||
8 | certified
copy or record of the final determination of parking, | ||||||
9 | standing, compliance, or automated traffic law
violation, | ||||||
10 | which shall be
accompanied by a certification that recites | ||||||
11 | facts sufficient to show that
the final determination of | ||||||
12 | violation was
issued in accordance with this Section and the | ||||||
13 | applicable municipal
ordinance. Service of the summons and a | ||||||
14 | copy of the petition may be by
any method provided by Section | ||||||
15 | 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
certified mail, | ||||||
16 | return receipt requested, provided that the total amount of
| ||||||
17 | fines and penalties for final determinations of parking, | ||||||
18 | standing,
compliance, or automated traffic law violations does | ||||||
19 | not
exceed $2500. If the court is satisfied that the final | ||||||
20 | determination of
parking, standing, compliance, or automated | ||||||
21 | traffic law violation was entered in accordance with
the | ||||||
22 | requirements of
this Section and the applicable municipal | ||||||
23 | ordinance, and that the registered
owner or the lessee, as the | ||||||
24 | case may be, had an opportunity for an
administrative hearing | ||||||
25 | and for judicial review as provided in this Section,
the court | ||||||
26 | shall render judgment in favor of the municipality and against
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in | ||||||
2 | the final
determination of parking, standing, compliance, or | ||||||
3 | automated traffic law violation, plus costs.
The judgment shall | ||||||
4 | have
the same effect and may be enforced in the same manner as | ||||||
5 | other judgments
for the recovery of money.
| ||||||
6 | (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education | ||||||
7 | program under this Section shall not exceed $25. | ||||||

10 | eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under | ||||||
11 | Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned | ||||||
12 | income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax | ||||||
13 | Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a | ||||||
14 | required traffic education program. | ||||||

Person with disabilities decals or devices issued and | ||||||

displaying
registration plates or decals issued | ||||||
21 | to a person with disabilities, as defined
by Section 1-159.1, | ||||||

and shall display signs | ||||||
4 | indicating the fine imposed. If the amount of
the fine is | ||||||
5 | subsequently changed, the municipality shall change the sign to

6 | indicate the current amount of the fine.
It shall not be a | ||||||
7 | defense to a charge under this Section that either the sign | ||||||
8 | posted
pursuant to this
Section or the intended accessible | ||||||
9 | parking place does not comply with the technical requirements | ||||||
10 | of Section 11-301,
Department
regulations, or local ordinance | ||||||
11 | if a reasonable person would be made aware by

25 | Section, to the law enforcement agency that issued the citation | ||||||
26 | or made the arrest. If more than one law enforcement agency is |

1 | responsible for issuing the citation or making the arrest, the | ||||||
2 | 50% of the fine imposed shall be shared equally.
If an officer | ||||||
3 | of the Secretary of State Department of Police arrested a | ||||||
4 | person for a violation of this Section, 50% of the fine imposed | ||||||
5 | shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Police Services | ||||||

8 | subsections
(c) and (c-1) for violations of this Section.

| ||||||
9 | Sec. 2-23. Kinds of dispositional orders.
| ||||||
10 | (1) The following kinds of orders of disposition may be | ||||||
11 | made in respect of
wards of the court:
| ||||||
12 | (a) A minor under 18 years of age found to be neglected | ||||||
13 | or abused under
Section 2-3 or dependent under Section 2-4 | ||||||
14 | may be (1) continued in the
custody of his or her parents,
| ||||||
15 | guardian or legal custodian; (2) placed in accordance with | ||||||
16 | Section 2-27;
(3) restored to the custody of the parent, | ||||||
17 | parents, guardian, or legal
custodian, provided the court | ||||||
18 | shall order the parent, parents, guardian, or
legal | ||||||
19 | custodian to cooperate with the Department of Children and | ||||||
20 | Family
Services and comply with the terms of an after-care | ||||||
21 | plan or risk the loss of
custody of the child and the | ||||||
22 | possible termination of their parental rights;
or
(4) | ||||||
23 | ordered partially or completely emancipated in accordance | ||||||
24 | with
the provisions of the Emancipation of Minors Act.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | However, in any case in which a minor is found by the | ||||||
2 | court to be
neglected or abused under Section 2-3 of this | ||||||
3 | Act, custody of the minor
shall not be restored to any | ||||||
4 | parent, guardian or legal custodian whose acts
or omissions | ||||||
5 | or both have been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of
| ||||||
6 | Section 2-21, as forming the basis for the court's finding | ||||||
7 | of abuse or
neglect, until such time
as a
hearing is held | ||||||
8 | on the issue of the best interests of the minor and the | ||||||
9 | fitness
of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care | ||||||
10 | for the minor without
endangering the minor's health or | ||||||
11 | safety, and the court
enters an order that such parent, | ||||||
12 | guardian or legal custodian is fit to care
for the minor.
| ||||||
13 | (b) A minor under 18 years of age found to be dependent | ||||||
14 | under
Section 2-4 may be (1) placed in accordance with | ||||||
15 | Section 2-27 or (2)
ordered partially or completely | ||||||
16 | emancipated in accordance with the
provisions of the | ||||||
17 | Emancipation of Minors Act.
| ||||||
18 | However, in any case in which a minor is found by the | ||||||
19 | court to be
dependent under Section 2-4 of this Act, | ||||||
20 | custody of the minor shall not be
restored to
any parent, | ||||||
21 | guardian or legal custodian whose acts or omissions or both | ||||||
22 | have
been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of Section | ||||||
23 | 2-21, as forming the
basis for the court's finding of | ||||||
24 | dependency, until such
time as a hearing is
held on the | ||||||
25 | issue of the fitness of such parent, guardian or legal
| ||||||
26 | custodian to care for the minor without endangering the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | minor's health or
safety, and the court enters an order | ||||||
2 | that such
parent, guardian or legal custodian is fit to | ||||||
3 | care for the minor.
| ||||||
4 | (b-1) A minor between the ages of 18 and 21 may be | ||||||
5 | placed pursuant to Section 2-27 of this Act if (1) the | ||||||
6 | court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate | ||||||
7 | wardship of the minor pursuant to subsection (2) of Section | ||||||
8 | 2-33, or (2) the court has adjudicated the minor a ward of | ||||||
9 | the court, permitted the minor to return home under an | ||||||
10 | order of protection, and subsequently made a finding that | ||||||
11 | it is in the minor's best interest to vacate the order of | ||||||
12 | protection and commit the minor to the Department of | ||||||
13 | Children and Family Services for care and service.
| ||||||
14 | (c) When the court awards guardianship to the | ||||||
15 | Department of Children and
Family Services, the court shall | ||||||
16 | order the parents to cooperate with the
Department of | ||||||
17 | Children and Family Services, comply with the terms of the
| ||||||
18 | service plans, and correct the conditions that require the | ||||||
19 | child to be in care,
or risk termination of their parental | ||||||
20 | rights.
| ||||||
21 | (2) Any order of disposition may provide for protective | ||||||
22 | supervision
under Section 2-24 and may include an order of | ||||||
23 | protection under Section 2-25.
| ||||||
24 | Unless the order of disposition expressly so provides, it | ||||||
25 | does
not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition, | ||||||
26 | but is subject
to modification, not inconsistent with Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 2-28, until final closing and discharge of the proceedings | ||||||
2 | under
Section 2-31.
| ||||||
3 | (3) The court also shall enter any other orders necessary | ||||||
4 | to fulfill the
service plan, including, but not limited to, (i) | ||||||
5 | orders requiring parties to
cooperate with services, (ii) | ||||||
6 | restraining orders controlling the conduct of any
party likely | ||||||
7 | to frustrate the achievement of the goal, and (iii) visiting
| ||||||
8 | orders. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, the | ||||||
9 | court is not
empowered under this subsection (3) to order | ||||||
10 | specific placements, specific
services, or specific service
| ||||||
11 | providers to be included in the plan. If, after receiving | ||||||
12 | evidence, the court determines that the services contained in | ||||||
13 | the plan are not reasonably calculated to facilitate | ||||||
14 | achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall put in | ||||||
15 | writing the factual basis supporting the determination and | ||||||
16 | enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court also | ||||||
17 | shall enter an order for the Department to develop and | ||||||
18 | implement a new service plan or to implement changes to the | ||||||
19 | current service plan consistent with the court's findings. The | ||||||
20 | new service plan shall be filed with the court and served on | ||||||
21 | all parties within 45 days after the date of the order. The | ||||||
22 | court shall continue the matter until the new service plan is | ||||||
23 | filed. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, the | ||||||
24 | court is not empowered under this subsection (3) or under | ||||||
25 | subsection (2) to order specific placements, specific | ||||||
26 | services, or specific service providers to be included in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | plan.
| ||||||
2 | (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the | ||||||
3 | court may order
any minor adjudicated neglected with respect to | ||||||
4 | his or her own injurious
behavior to make restitution, in | ||||||
5 | monetary or non-monetary form, under the
terms and conditions | ||||||
6 | of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
except | ||||||
7 | that the "presentence hearing" referred to therein shall be the
| ||||||
8 | dispositional hearing for purposes of this Section. The parent, | ||||||
9 | guardian
or legal custodian of the minor may pay some or all of | ||||||
10 | such restitution on
the minor's behalf.
| ||||||
11 | (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is committed | ||||||
12 | or placed in
accordance with Section 2-27 shall provide for the | ||||||
13 | parents or guardian of
the estate of such minor to pay to the | ||||||
14 | legal custodian or guardian of the
person of the minor such | ||||||
15 | sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian
of the | ||||||
16 | person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. Such | ||||||
17 | payments
may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by | ||||||
18 | Section 9.1 of the
Children and Family Services Act.
| ||||||
19 | (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor to | ||||||
20 | attend
school or participate in a program of training, the | ||||||
21 | truant officer or
designated school official shall regularly | ||||||
22 | report to the court if the minor
is a chronic or habitual | ||||||
23 | truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
| ||||||
24 | (7) The court may terminate the parental rights of a parent | ||||||
25 | at the initial
dispositional hearing if all of the conditions | ||||||
26 | in subsection (5) of Section
2-21 are met.

| ||||||
4 | Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders.
| ||||||
5 | (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in | ||||||
6 | respect of
wards of the court:
| ||||||
7 | (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, 5-815, | ||||||
8 | a minor who is
found
guilty under Section 5-620 may be:
| ||||||
9 | (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and | ||||||
10 | released to his or her
parents, guardian or legal | ||||||
11 | custodian, provided, however, that any such minor
who | ||||||
12 | is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice | ||||||
13 | under
this subsection and who is found to be a | ||||||
14 | delinquent for an offense which is
first degree murder, | ||||||
15 | a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed | ||||||
16 | on
probation;
| ||||||
17 | (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with | ||||||
18 | or without also being
put on probation or conditional | ||||||

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

11 | determined by the court but only until he or she
| ||||||
12 | attains 18 years of age;
| ||||||
13 | (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge | ||||||
14 | and placed in detention
under Section 3-6039 of the | ||||||
15 | Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period
of | ||||||
16 | incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty | ||||||
17 | of the same offense
or offenses for which the minor was | ||||||
18 | adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no
longer than | ||||||
19 | upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii) | ||||||
20 | notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the law;
| ||||||
21 | (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other | ||||||
22 | procedure to have a tattoo
symbolizing allegiance to a | ||||||
23 | street gang removed from his or her body; or | ||||||
24 | (x) placed in electronic home detention under Part | ||||||
25 | 7A of this Article.
| ||||||
26 | (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of
Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the | ||||||
2 | minor is 13 years of age or
older,
provided that the | ||||||
3 | commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice shall be | ||||||
4 | made only if a term of incarceration is permitted by law | ||||||
5 | for
adults found guilty of the offense for which the minor | ||||||
6 | was adjudicated
delinquent. The time during which a minor | ||||||
7 | is in custody before being released
upon the request of a | ||||||
8 | parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be considered
as | ||||||
9 | time spent in detention.
| ||||||
10 | (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense | ||||||
11 | which is a violation
of the Illinois Controlled Substances | ||||||
12 | Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine | ||||||
13 | Control and Community Protection Act and made
a ward of the | ||||||
14 | court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring | ||||||
15 | the
minor to undergo assessment,
counseling or treatment in | ||||||
16 | a substance abuse program approved by the Department
of | ||||||
17 | Human Services.
| ||||||
18 | (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the | ||||||
19 | Department of
Juvenile Justice may provide for protective | ||||||
20 | supervision under
Section 5-725 and may include an order of | ||||||
21 | protection under Section 5-730.
| ||||||
22 | (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it | ||||||
23 | does not operate
to close proceedings on the pending petition, | ||||||
24 | but is subject to modification
until final closing and | ||||||
25 | discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
| ||||||
26 | (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any
minor
found to be delinquent to make restitution, in | ||||||
2 | monetary or non-monetary form,
under the terms and conditions | ||||||
3 | of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, except | ||||||
4 | that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that
Section
| ||||||
5 | shall be
the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section. | ||||||
6 | The parent, guardian or
legal custodian of the minor may be | ||||||
7 | ordered by the court to pay some or all of
the restitution on | ||||||
8 | the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
| ||||||
9 | Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act
on behalf of any | ||||||
10 | victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
| ||||||
11 | Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the | ||||||
12 | Parental
Responsibility Law.
| ||||||
13 | (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or | ||||||
14 | placed in
accordance
with Section 5-740 shall provide for the | ||||||
15 | parents or guardian of the estate of
the minor to pay to the | ||||||
16 | legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor
such | ||||||
17 | sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the | ||||||
18 | person of the
minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The | ||||||
19 | payments may not exceed the
maximum amounts provided for by | ||||||
20 | Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services
Act.
| ||||||
21 | (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to | ||||||
22 | attend school or
participate in a program of training, the | ||||||
23 | truant officer or designated school
official shall regularly | ||||||
24 | report to the court if the minor is a chronic or
habitual | ||||||
25 | truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding | ||||||
26 | any other provision of this Act, in instances in which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | educational services are to be provided to a minor in a | ||||||
2 | residential facility where the minor has been placed by the | ||||||
3 | court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational | ||||||
4 | services must be allocated based on the requirements of the | ||||||
5 | School Code.
| ||||||
6 | (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the | ||||||
7 | Department of
Juvenile Justice for a period of time in
excess | ||||||
8 | of
that period for which an adult could be committed for the | ||||||
9 | same act.
| ||||||
10 | (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a | ||||||
11 | violation of
Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall | ||||||
12 | be ordered to perform
community service for not less than 30 | ||||||
13 | and not more than 120 hours, if
community service is available | ||||||
14 | in the jurisdiction. The community service
shall include, but | ||||||
15 | need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of the damage
| ||||||
16 | that was caused by the violation or similar damage to property | ||||||
17 | located in the
municipality or county in which the violation | ||||||
18 | occurred. The order may be in
addition to any other order | ||||||
19 | authorized by this Section.
| ||||||
20 | (8.5) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a | ||||||
21 | violation of
Section
3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care | ||||||
22 | for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of
subsection (1) of
Section | ||||||
23 | 21-1 of
the Criminal Code
of
1961 shall be ordered to undergo | ||||||
24 | medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by
a
psychiatrist or | ||||||
25 | psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
| ||||||
26 | The order
may be in addition to any other order authorized by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section.
| ||||||
2 | (9) In addition to any other sentencing order, the court | ||||||
3 | shall order any
minor found
to be guilty for an act which would | ||||||
4 | constitute, predatory criminal sexual
assault of a child, | ||||||
5 | aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault, | ||||||
6 | aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if
| ||||||
7 | committed by an
adult to undergo medical testing to determine | ||||||
8 | whether the defendant has any
sexually transmissible disease | ||||||
9 | including a test for infection with human
immunodeficiency | ||||||
10 | virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
| ||||||
11 | acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test | ||||||
12 | shall be performed
only by appropriately licensed medical | ||||||
13 | practitioners and may include an
analysis of any bodily fluids | ||||||
14 | as well as an examination of the minor's person.
Except as | ||||||
15 | otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be | ||||||
16 | kept
strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in | ||||||
17 | the testing and must
be personally delivered in a sealed | ||||||
18 | envelope to the judge of the court in which
the sentencing | ||||||
19 | order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
| ||||||
20 | in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the | ||||||
21 | public, the judge
shall have the discretion to determine to | ||||||
22 | whom the results of the testing may
be revealed. The court | ||||||
23 | shall notify the minor of the results of the test for
infection | ||||||
24 | with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall | ||||||
25 | also
notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the | ||||||
26 | victim is under the
age of 15 and if requested by the victim's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | parents or legal guardian, the court
shall notify the victim's | ||||||
2 | parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the
test for | ||||||
3 | infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The | ||||||
4 | court
shall provide information on the availability of HIV | ||||||
5 | testing and counseling at
the Department of Public Health | ||||||
6 | facilities to all parties to whom the
results of the testing | ||||||
7 | are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of
any test | ||||||
8 | shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against | ||||||
9 | the
minor.
| ||||||
10 | (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court | ||||||
11 | shall, before
entering a sentencing order under this Section, | ||||||
12 | make a finding whether the
offense committed either: (a) was | ||||||
13 | related to or in furtherance of the criminal
activities of an | ||||||
14 | organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
or | ||||||
15 | allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
| ||||||
16 | subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, | ||||||
17 | a violation of
any
Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code | ||||||
18 | of 1961, or a violation of any
statute that involved the | ||||||
19 | wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines
the question | ||||||
20 | in the affirmative,
and the court does not commit the minor to | ||||||
21 | the Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the | ||||||
22 | minor to perform community service
for not less than 30 hours | ||||||
23 | nor more than 120 hours, provided that community
service is | ||||||
24 | available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
| ||||||
25 | county board of the county where the offense was committed. The | ||||||
26 | community
service shall include, but need not be limited to, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the cleanup and repair of
any damage caused by a violation of | ||||||
2 | Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961
and similar damage | ||||||
3 | to property located in the municipality or county in which
the | ||||||
4 | violation occurred. When possible and reasonable, the | ||||||
5 | community service
shall be performed in the minor's | ||||||
6 | neighborhood. This order shall be in
addition to any other | ||||||
7 | order authorized by this Section
except for an order to place | ||||||
8 | the minor in the custody of the Department of
Juvenile Justice. | ||||||
9 | For the purposes of this Section, "organized
gang" has the | ||||||
10 | meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
| ||||||
11 | Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
| ||||||
12 | (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed | ||||||
13 | in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang, | ||||||
14 | as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved | ||||||
15 | the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a | ||||||
16 | driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the | ||||||
17 | Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for | ||||||
18 | which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the | ||||||
19 | time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's | ||||||
20 | license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall | ||||||
21 | not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her | ||||||
22 | 18th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit | ||||||
23 | at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that | ||||||
24 | the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until | ||||||
25 | his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence | ||||||
26 | determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | at the time of the determination, the court may direct the | ||||||
2 | Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving | ||||||
3 | permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the | ||||||
4 | same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the | ||||||
5 | Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that | ||||||
6 | the JDP be effective immediately.
| ||||||
7 | (12) If a minor is found to be guilty of a violation of
| ||||||
8 | subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use | ||||||
9 | by Minors Act, the
court may, in its discretion, and upon
| ||||||
10 | recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and | ||||||
11 | his or her parents
or legal
guardian to attend a smoker's | ||||||
12 | education or youth diversion program as defined
in that Act if | ||||||
13 | that
program is available in the jurisdiction where the | ||||||
14 | offender resides.
Attendance at a smoker's education or youth | ||||||
15 | diversion program
shall be time-credited against any community | ||||||
16 | service time imposed for any
first violation of subsection | ||||||
17 | (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any
other
| ||||||
18 | penalty
that the court may impose for a violation of subsection | ||||||
19 | (a-7) of Section 1 of
that Act, the
court, upon request by the | ||||||
20 | State's Attorney, may in its discretion
require
the offender to | ||||||
21 | remit a fee for his or her attendance at a smoker's
education | ||||||
22 | or
youth diversion program.
| ||||||
23 | For purposes of this Section, "smoker's education program" | ||||||
24 | or "youth
diversion program" includes, but is not limited to, a | ||||||
25 | seminar designed to
educate a person on the physical and | ||||||
26 | psychological effects of smoking tobacco
products and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | health consequences of smoking tobacco products that can be
| ||||||
2 | conducted with a locality's youth diversion program.
| ||||||
3 | In addition to any other penalty that the court may impose | ||||||
4 | under this
subsection
(12):
| ||||||
5 | (a) If a minor violates subsection (a-7) of Section 1 | ||||||
6 | of the Prevention of
Tobacco Use by Minors Act, the court | ||||||
7 | may
impose a sentence of 15 hours of
community service or a | ||||||
8 | fine of $25 for a first violation.
| ||||||
9 | (b) A second violation by a minor of subsection (a-7) | ||||||
10 | of Section 1 of that Act
that occurs
within 12 months after | ||||||
11 | the first violation is punishable by a fine of $50 and
25
| ||||||
12 | hours of community service.
| ||||||
13 | (c) A third or subsequent violation by a minor of | ||||||
14 | subsection (a-7) of Section
1 of that Act
that
occurs | ||||||
15 | within 12 months after the first violation is punishable by | ||||||
16 | a $100
fine
and 30 hours of community service.
| ||||||
17 | (d) Any second or subsequent violation not within the | ||||||
18 | 12-month time period
after the first violation is | ||||||
19 | punishable as provided for a first violation.

11 | Family" means the family members of an
individual who was | ||||||
12 | killed in the line of duty and who was employed or serving in a | ||||||
13 | capacity defined in Section 2 of the Illinois Line of Duty | ||||||
14 | Compensation Act. | ||||||
15 | (c) Toll-free helpline. The Gold Star and Fallen Heroes | ||||||
16 | Families Assistance Program shall include a toll-free helpline | ||||||
17 | dedicated to families seeking information about the Line of | ||||||
18 | Duty Compensation Act, including, but not limited to, the | ||||||
19 | status of claims filed pursuant to that Act. The helpline phone | ||||||

| ||||||
12 | Section 600. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by | ||||||
13 | changing Sections 9-1.2, 10-5, 10-5.5, 10-9, 11-9.4, 11-20.1, | ||||||
14 | 11-20.3, 12-2, 12-3.3, 12-4, 12-7.5, 14-3, 16-1, 16D-2, 16D-3, | ||||||

16 | 36-1 as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (720 ILCS 5/9-1.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 9-1.2)
| ||||||
18 | Sec. 9-1.2. Intentional Homicide of an Unborn Child.
| ||||||
19 | (a) A person
commits the offense of intentional homicide of | ||||||
20 | an unborn child if, in
performing acts which cause the death of | ||||||
21 | an unborn child, he without lawful
justification:
| ||||||
22 | (1) either intended to cause the death of or do great | ||||||
23 | bodily harm to the
pregnant woman or her unborn child or | ||||||
24 | knew that such acts would cause death
or great bodily harm |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to the pregnant woman or her unborn child; or
| ||||||
2 | (2) he knew that his acts created a strong probability | ||||||
3 | of death or great
bodily harm to the pregnant woman or her | ||||||
4 | unborn child; and
| ||||||
5 | (3) he knew that the woman was pregnant.
| ||||||
6 | (b) For purposes of this Section, (1) "unborn child" shall | ||||||
7 | mean any
individual of the human species from fertilization | ||||||
8 | until birth, and (2)
"person" shall not include the pregnant | ||||||
9 | woman whose unborn child is killed.
| ||||||
10 | (c) This Section shall not apply to acts which cause the | ||||||
11 | death of an
unborn child if those acts were committed during | ||||||
12 | any abortion, as defined
in Section 2 of the Illinois Abortion | ||||||
13 | Law of 1975, as amended, to which the
pregnant woman has | ||||||
14 | consented. This Section shall not apply to acts which
were | ||||||
15 | committed pursuant to usual and customary standards of medical
| ||||||
16 | practice during diagnostic testing or therapeutic treatment.
| ||||||
17 | (d) Penalty. The sentence for intentional homicide of an | ||||||
18 | unborn child
shall be the same as for first degree murder, | ||||||
19 | except that:
| ||||||
20 | (1) the death penalty may not be imposed;
| ||||||
21 | (2) if the person committed the offense while armed | ||||||
22 | with a firearm, 15
years shall be added to the term of | ||||||
23 | imprisonment imposed by the court;
| ||||||
24 | (3) if, during the commission of the offense, the | ||||||
25 | person personally
discharged a firearm, 20 years shall be | ||||||
26 | added to the term of imprisonment
imposed by the court;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) if, during the commission of the offense, the | ||||||
2 | person personally
discharged a firearm that proximately | ||||||
3 | caused great bodily harm, permanent
disability, permanent | ||||||
4 | disfigurement, or death to another person, 25 years or up
| ||||||
5 | to a term of natural life shall be added to the term of | ||||||
6 | imprisonment imposed by
the court.
| ||||||

8 | prohibit the
prosecution of any person under any other | ||||||
9 | provision of law.

| ||||||
11 | (720 ILCS 5/10-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
| ||||||
12 | Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
| ||||||
13 | (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
| ||||||
14 | the following meanings:
| ||||||
15 | (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged | ||||||
16 | violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or
severely or | ||||||
17 | profoundly mentally retarded.
| ||||||
18 | (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical | ||||||
19 | custody of a child,
whether or not the child resists or | ||||||
20 | objects.
| ||||||
21 | (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons | ||||||
22 | granted legal custody
of a child or entitled to physical | ||||||
23 | possession of a child pursuant to a
court order. It is | ||||||
24 | presumed that, when the parties have never been
married to | ||||||
25 | each other, the mother has legal custody of the child |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unless a
valid court order states otherwise. If an | ||||||
2 | adjudication of paternity has
been completed and the father | ||||||
3 | has been assigned support obligations or
visitation | ||||||
4 | rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of | ||||||
5 | this
Section, be considered a valid court order granting | ||||||
6 | custody to the mother.
| ||||||
7 | (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable | ||||||
8 | belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who | ||||||
9 | is not his wife. | ||||||
10 | (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he | ||||||
11 | or she does any one of the following:
| ||||||
12 | (1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid court | ||||||
13 | order granting
sole or joint custody, care, or possession | ||||||
14 | to another by concealing or
detaining the child or removing | ||||||
15 | the child from the jurisdiction of the
court.
| ||||||
16 | (2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting | ||||||
17 | the person from
concealing or detaining the child or | ||||||
18 | removing the child
from the jurisdiction of the court.
| ||||||
19 | (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the | ||||||
20 | child without the
consent of the mother or lawful custodian | ||||||
21 | of the child if the person is a
putative father and either: | ||||||
22 | (A) the paternity of the child has not been
legally | ||||||
23 | established or (B) the paternity of the child has been | ||||||
24 | legally
established but no orders relating to custody have | ||||||
25 | been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by | ||||||
26 | paragraph (3) of subsection (a),
however, a mother commits |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
| ||||||
2 | a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of, | ||||||
3 | from an
unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing | ||||||
4 | care and custody of the
child in her absence.
| ||||||
5 | (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a | ||||||
6 | parent after
filing a petition or being served with process | ||||||
7 | in an action affecting
marriage or paternity but prior to | ||||||
8 | the issuance of a temporary or final
order determining | ||||||
9 | custody.
| ||||||
10 | (5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside the | ||||||
11 | State,
intentionally fails or refuses to return or impedes | ||||||
12 | the return of the child
to the lawful custodian in | ||||||
13 | Illinois.
| ||||||
14 | (6) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of | ||||||
15 | that child
are or have been married and there has been no | ||||||
16 | court order of custody,
knowingly conceals the child for 15 | ||||||
17 | days, and fails to make reasonable attempts
within the | ||||||
18 | 15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
| ||||||
19 | whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to | ||||||
20 | contact the child,
or to arrange reasonable visitation or | ||||||
21 | contact with the child. It is not a
violation of this | ||||||
22 | Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take
the | ||||||
23 | child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic | ||||||
24 | violence program.
| ||||||
25 | (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of | ||||||
26 | the child
are or have been married and there has been no |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | court order of
custody, knowingly conceals, detains, or | ||||||
2 | removes the child with physical force or
threat of physical | ||||||
3 | force.
| ||||||
4 | (8) Knowingly conceals, detains, or removes the child | ||||||
5 | for payment or promise of
payment at the instruction of a | ||||||
6 | person who has no legal right to custody.
| ||||||
7 | (9) Knowingly retains in this State for 30 days a child | ||||||
8 | removed from another state
without the consent of the | ||||||
9 | lawful custodian or in violation of a valid
court order of | ||||||
10 | custody.
| ||||||
11 | (10) Intentionally lures or attempts to lure a child | ||||||
12 | under the age of 16
into a motor vehicle, building, | ||||||
13 | housetrailer, or dwelling place without the
consent of the | ||||||
14 | child's parent or lawful custodian for other than a lawful | ||||||
15 | purpose. For the purposes of this item (10), the luring
or | ||||||
16 | attempted luring of a child under the age of 16 into a | ||||||
17 | motor vehicle,
building, housetrailer, or dwelling place | ||||||
18 | without the consent of the child's parent
or lawful | ||||||
19 | custodian is prima facie evidence of other
than a lawful | ||||||
20 | purpose.
| ||||||
21 | (11) With the intent to obstruct or prevent efforts to | ||||||
22 | locate the child victim of a child abduction, knowingly | ||||||
23 | destroys, alters, conceals, or disguises physical evidence | ||||||
24 | or furnishes false information. | ||||||
25 | (c) It is an affirmative defense to subsections (b)(1) | ||||||
26 | through (b)(10) of this Section that:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) the person had custody of the child pursuant to a | ||||||
2 | court order
granting legal custody or visitation rights | ||||||
3 | that existed at the time of
the alleged violation;
| ||||||
4 | (2) the person had physical custody of the child | ||||||
5 | pursuant to a court
order granting legal custody or | ||||||
6 | visitation rights and failed to return the
child as a | ||||||
7 | result of circumstances beyond his or her control, and the
| ||||||
8 | person notified and disclosed to the other parent or legal | ||||||
9 | custodian the
specific whereabouts of the child and a means | ||||||
10 | by which the child could be
contacted or made a reasonable | ||||||
11 | attempt to notify the other parent or lawful
custodian of | ||||||
12 | the child of those circumstances and made the disclosure
| ||||||
13 | within 24 hours after the visitation period had expired and | ||||||
14 | returned the
child as soon as possible;
| ||||||
15 | (3) the person was fleeing an incidence or pattern of | ||||||
16 | domestic violence; or
| ||||||
17 | (4) the person lured or attempted to lure a child under | ||||||
18 | the age of 16
into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer, | ||||||
19 | or dwelling place for a
lawful purpose in prosecutions | ||||||
20 | under paragraph (10) of subsection (b).
| ||||||
21 | (d) A person convicted of child abduction under this | ||||||
22 | Section is guilty of
a Class 4 felony. A person convicted of a | ||||||
23 | second or subsequent violation of
paragraph (10) of subsection | ||||||
24 | (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 3
felony. It is a | ||||||
25 | factor in aggravation under subsections (b)(1) through (b)(10) | ||||||
26 | of this Section for which a court
may impose a more severe |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sentence under Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 | ||||||
2 | of Chapter V of the Unified Code
of Corrections if, upon | ||||||
3 | sentencing, the court finds evidence of any of the
following | ||||||
4 | aggravating factors:
| ||||||
5 | (1) that the defendant abused or neglected the child | ||||||
6 | following the
concealment, detention, or removal of the | ||||||
7 | child;
| ||||||
8 | (2) that the defendant inflicted or threatened to | ||||||
9 | inflict physical harm
on a parent or lawful custodian of | ||||||
10 | the child or on the child with intent to
cause that parent | ||||||
11 | or lawful custodian to discontinue criminal prosecution
of | ||||||
12 | the defendant under this Section;
| ||||||
13 | (3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange for | ||||||
14 | return of the
child or demanded that he or she be relieved | ||||||
15 | of the financial or legal
obligation to support the child | ||||||
16 | in exchange for return of the child;
| ||||||
17 | (4) that the defendant has previously been convicted of | ||||||
18 | child abduction;
| ||||||
19 | (5) that the defendant committed the abduction while | ||||||
20 | armed with a deadly
weapon or the taking of the child | ||||||
21 | resulted in serious bodily injury to

4 | representative. | ||||||
5 | (j) A person who commits the offense of involuntary | ||||||
6 | servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||||||
7 | trafficking in persons for forced labor or services under | ||||||
8 | subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section is subject to the | ||||||
9 | property forfeiture provisions set forth in Article 124B of the | ||||||
10 | Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. shall forfeit to the State | ||||||
11 | of Illinois any profits or proceeds and any interest or | ||||||
12 | property he or she has acquired or maintained in violation of | ||||||
13 | subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section that the sentencing | ||||||
14 | court determines, after a forfeiture hearing, to have been | ||||||
15 | acquired or maintained as a result of maintaining a person in | ||||||
16 | involuntary servitude or participating in trafficking in | ||||||
17 | persons for forced labor or services. | ||||||
18 | Upon petition by the Attorney General or State's Attorney | ||||||
19 | at any time following sentencing, the court shall conduct a | ||||||
20 | hearing to determine whether any property or property interest | ||||||
21 | is subject to forfeiture under this Section. At the forfeiture | ||||||
22 | hearing the People have the burden of establishing, by a | ||||||
23 | preponderance of the evidence, that property or property | ||||||
24 | interests are subject to forfeiture under this Section. | ||||||
25 | In any action brought by the People of the State of | ||||||
26 | Illinois under this Section, in which a restraining order, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | injunction, or prohibition or any other action in connection | ||||||
2 | with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this | ||||||
3 | Section is sought, the circuit court presiding over the trial | ||||||
4 | of the person or persons charged with involuntary servitude, | ||||||
5 | involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in | ||||||
6 | persons for forced labor or services shall first determine | ||||||
7 | whether there is probable cause to believe that the person or | ||||||
8 | persons so charged have committed the offense of involuntary | ||||||
9 | servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||||||
10 | trafficking in persons for forced labor or services and whether | ||||||
11 | the property or interest is subject to forfeiture under this | ||||||
12 | Section. In order to make that determination, prior to entering | ||||||
13 | any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a | ||||||
14 | jury, in which the People shall establish that there is: (i) | ||||||
15 | probable cause that the person or persons so charged have | ||||||
16 | committed the offense of involuntary servitude, involuntary | ||||||
17 | sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in persons for | ||||||
18 | forced labor or services and (ii) probable cause that any | ||||||
19 | property or interest may be subject to forfeiture under this | ||||||
20 | Section. The hearing may be conducted simultaneously with a | ||||||
21 | preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by | ||||||
22 | information or complaint, or by motion of the People, at any | ||||||
23 | stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of | ||||||
24 | probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing of | ||||||
25 | an information charging the offense of involuntary servitude, | ||||||
26 | involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | persons for forced labor or services or the return of an | ||||||
2 | indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of involuntary | ||||||
3 | servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||||||
4 | trafficking in persons for forced labor or services as | ||||||
5 | sufficient evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) | ||||||
6 | of this paragraph. Upon a finding, the circuit court shall | ||||||
7 | enter the restraining order, injunction, or prohibition, or | ||||||
8 | shall take such other action in connection with any such | ||||||
9 | property or other interest subject to forfeiture, as is | ||||||
10 | necessary to ensure that the property is not removed from the | ||||||
11 | jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed, or otherwise | ||||||
12 | disposed of by the owner of that property or interest prior to | ||||||
13 | a forfeiture hearing under this Section. The Attorney General | ||||||
14 | or State's Attorney shall file a certified copy of the | ||||||
15 | restraining order, injunction, or other prohibition with the | ||||||
16 | recorder or registrar of titles of each county where any such | ||||||
17 | property of the defendant may be located. No such injunction, | ||||||
18 | restraining order, or other prohibition shall affect the rights | ||||||
19 | of any bona fide purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or | ||||||
20 | other lien holder arising prior to the date of that filing. At | ||||||
21 | any time, upon verified petition by the defendant or an | ||||||
22 | innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder | ||||||
23 | who neither had knowledge of, nor consented to, the illegal act | ||||||
24 | or omission, the court may conduct a hearing to release all or | ||||||
25 | portions of any such property or interest that the court | ||||||
26 | previously determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other | ||||||
2 | action. The court may release that property to the defendant or | ||||||
3 | innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder | ||||||
4 | who neither had knowledge of nor consented to the illegal act | ||||||
5 | or omission for good cause shown and within the sound | ||||||
6 | discretion of the court. | ||||||
7 | Upon conviction of a person of involuntary servitude, | ||||||
8 | involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in | ||||||
9 | persons for forced labor or services, the court shall authorize | ||||||
10 | the Attorney General to seize all property or other interest | ||||||
11 | declared forfeited under this Section upon terms and conditions | ||||||
12 | the court deems proper. | ||||||
13 | All moneys forfeited and the sale proceeds of all other | ||||||
14 | property forfeited and seized under this Section shall be | ||||||
15 | distributed as follows: | ||||||
16 | (1) one-half shall be divided equally between all State | ||||||
17 | agencies and units of local government whose officers or | ||||||
18 | employees conducted the investigation that resulted in the | ||||||
19 | forfeiture; and | ||||||
20 | (2) one-half shall be deposited into the Violent Crime
| ||||||
21 | Victims Assistance Fund and targeted to services for | ||||||
22 | victims of the offenses of involuntary servitude, | ||||||
23 | involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in | ||||||
24 | persons for forced labor or services.

1 | (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
| ||||||
2 | (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
| ||||||
3 | (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective | ||||||
4 | January 1, 1995,
contained provisions amending the | ||||||
5 | child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1
of the | ||||||
6 | Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained | ||||||
7 | other provisions.
| ||||||
8 | (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled | ||||||
9 | "AN ACT to create a
Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A) | ||||||
10 | Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and
amended the | ||||||
11 | Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled | ||||||
12 | GANGS and
amended various provisions of the Criminal | ||||||
13 | Code of 1961 and the Unified Code
of Corrections. (C) | ||||||
14 | Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended | ||||||
15 | various
provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D) | ||||||
16 | Article 25 was entitled DRUG
ABUSE and amended the | ||||||
17 | Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
| ||||||
18 | Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS | ||||||
19 | and amended the Criminal
Code of 1961 and the Code of | ||||||
20 | Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35
amended the | ||||||
21 | Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and | ||||||
22 | Witnesses
Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G) | ||||||
23 | Article 40 amended the Criminal
Code of 1961 to | ||||||
24 | increase the penalty for compelling organization | ||||||
25 | membership of
persons. (H) Article 45 created the | ||||||
26 | Secure Residential Youth Care Facility
Licensing Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court | ||||||
2 | Act of
1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the | ||||||
3 | Private Correctional Facility
Moratorium Act. (I) | ||||||
4 | Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
| ||||||
5 | Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile | ||||||
6 | Court Act of 1987, the
Criminal Code of 1961, the | ||||||
7 | Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
| ||||||
8 | Corrections.
| ||||||
9 | (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District | ||||||
10 | Appellate Court in
People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118, | ||||||
11 | ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the
single | ||||||
12 | subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article | ||||||
13 | IV, Section 8 (d))
and was unconstitutional in its | ||||||
14 | entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act
of 1999 | ||||||
15 | was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to | ||||||
16 | appeal.
| ||||||
17 | (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the | ||||||
18 | people of this State
and the validity of future | ||||||
19 | prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
| ||||||
20 | the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
| ||||||
21 | (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to | ||||||
22 | prevent or
minimize any problems relating to prosecutions | ||||||
23 | for child pornography that may
result from challenges to | ||||||
24 | the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
| ||||||
25 | re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that | ||||||
26 | was included in
Public Act 88-680.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section | ||||||
2 | 11-20.1 of the
Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been | ||||||
3 | amended. This re-enactment is intended
to remove any | ||||||
4 | question as to the validity or content of that Section; it | ||||||
5 | is not
intended to supersede any other Public Act that | ||||||
6 | amends the text of the Section
as set forth in this | ||||||
7 | amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
| ||||||
8 | text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time | ||||||
9 | this amendatory Act
of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty | ||||||
10 | was subject to appeal to the Illinois
Supreme Court.
| ||||||
11 | (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of | ||||||
12 | Section 11-20.1 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to | ||||||
13 | child pornography that was amended by
Public Act 88-680 is | ||||||
14 | not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
| ||||||
15 | Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any | ||||||
16 | legal argument
concerning whether those provisions were | ||||||
17 | substantially re-enacted by other
Public Acts.

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b)(1) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of | ||||||
2 | aggravated child pornography that the defendant reasonably | ||||||
3 | believed, under all of the circumstances, that the child was 13 | ||||||
4 | years of age or older, but only where, prior to the act or acts | ||||||
5 | giving rise to a prosecution under this Section, he or she took | ||||||
6 | some affirmative action or made a bonafide inquiry designed to | ||||||

22 | (4) The charge of aggravated child pornography does not | ||||||
23 | apply to a person who does not voluntarily possess a film, | ||||||
24 | videotape, or visual reproduction or depiction by computer in | ||||||
25 | which aggravated child pornography is depicted. Possession is | ||||||

2 | sufficient time to be able to terminate his or her possession. | ||||||
3 | (5) Any violation of paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), or | ||||||

10 | (e) Duty to enforce this Article. | ||||||
11 | (1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police, | ||||||
12 | and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all | ||||||
13 | provisions of this Article, except those specifically | ||||||
14 | delegated, and to cooperate with all agencies charged with | ||||||
15 | the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or of any | ||||||
16 | state, relating to money laundering. Only an agent, | ||||||
17 | officer, or investigator designated by the Director may be | ||||||
18 | authorized in accordance with this Section to serve seizure | ||||||
19 | notices, warrants, subpoenas, and summonses under the | ||||||
20 | authority of this State. | ||||||
21 | (2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer | ||||||
22 | designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of | ||||||
23 | property pursuant to the provisions of this Article; and | ||||||
24 | (B) perform such other law enforcement duties as the | ||||||
25 | Director designates. It is the duty of all State's | ||||||
26 | Attorneys to prosecute violations of this Article and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | institute legal proceedings as authorized under this | ||||||
2 | Article. | ||||||
3 | (f) Protective orders. | ||||||
4 | (1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter | ||||||
5 | a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of | ||||||
6 | a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action | ||||||
7 | to preserve the availability of property described in | ||||||
8 | subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article: | ||||||
9 | (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information, | ||||||
10 | or complaint charging a violation of this Article for | ||||||
11 | which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and | ||||||
12 | alleging that the property with respect to which the | ||||||
13 | order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under | ||||||
14 | this Article; or
| ||||||
15 | (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment, | ||||||
16 | information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons | ||||||
17 | appearing to have an interest in the property and | ||||||
18 | opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that: | ||||||
19 | (i) there is probable cause to believe that the | ||||||
20 | State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and | ||||||
21 | that failure to enter the order will result in the | ||||||
22 | property being destroyed, removed from the | ||||||
23 | jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made | ||||||
24 | unavailable for forfeiture; and | ||||||
25 | (ii) the need to preserve the availability of | ||||||
26 | the property through the entry of the requested |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | order outweighs the hardship on any party against | ||||||
2 | whom the order is to be entered. | ||||||
3 | Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant | ||||||
4 | to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more | ||||||
5 | than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good | ||||||
6 | cause shown or unless an indictment, information, | ||||||
7 | complaint, or administrative notice has been filed. | ||||||
8 | (2) A temporary restraining order under this | ||||||
9 | subsection may be entered upon application of the State | ||||||
10 | without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an | ||||||
11 | indictment, information, complaint, or administrative | ||||||
12 | notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property, | ||||||
13 | if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to | ||||||
14 | believe that the property with respect to which the order | ||||||
15 | is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section | ||||||
16 | and that provision of notice will jeopardize the | ||||||
17 | availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a | ||||||
18 | temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after | ||||||
19 | the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good | ||||||
20 | cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered | ||||||
21 | consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing | ||||||
22 | requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph | ||||||
23 | shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to | ||||||
24 | the expiration of the temporary order. | ||||||
25 | (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing | ||||||
26 | held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | information that would be inadmissible under the Illinois | ||||||
2 | rules of evidence.
| ||||||
3 | (4) Order to repatriate and deposit. | ||||||
4 | (A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter | ||||||
5 | a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the | ||||||
6 | court may order a defendant to repatriate any property | ||||||
7 | that may be seized and forfeited and to deposit that | ||||||
8 | property pending trial with the Illinois State Police | ||||||
9 | or another law enforcement agency designated by the | ||||||
10 | Illinois State Police. | ||||||
11 | (B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an | ||||||
12 | order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a | ||||||
13 | civil or criminal contempt of court.
| ||||||
14 | (g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance | ||||||
15 | of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in | ||||||
16 | subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search | ||||||
17 | warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause | ||||||
18 | to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to | ||||||
19 | forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the | ||||||
20 | seizure of such property. | ||||||
21 | (h) Forfeiture. | ||||||
22 | (1) The following are subject to forfeiture: | ||||||
23 | (A) any property, real or personal, constituting, | ||||||
24 | derived from, or traceable to any proceeds the person | ||||||

9 | concealment of property described in subparagraphs (A) | ||||||
10 | and (B), but: | ||||||
11 | (i) no conveyance used by any person as a | ||||||
12 | common carrier in the transaction of business as a | ||||||
13 | common carrier is subject to forfeiture under this | ||||||
14 | Section unless it appears that the owner or other | ||||||
15 | person in charge of the conveyance is a consenting | ||||||
16 | party or privy to a violation of this Article; | ||||||
17 | (ii) no conveyance is subject to forfeiture | ||||||
18 | under this Section by reason of any act or omission | ||||||
19 | which the owner proves to have been committed or | ||||||
20 | omitted without his or her knowledge or consent; | ||||||
21 | (iii) a forfeiture of a conveyance encumbered | ||||||
22 | by a bona fide security interest is subject to the | ||||||
23 | interest of the secured party if he or she neither | ||||||
24 | had knowledge of nor consented to the act or | ||||||
25 | omission; | ||||||
26 | (D) all real property, including any right, title, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and interest (including, but not limited to, any | ||||||

7 | violation of this Article or that is the proceeds of | ||||||
8 | any violation or act that constitutes a violation of | ||||||
9 | this Article.
| ||||||
10 | (2) Property subject to forfeiture under this Article | ||||||
11 | may be seized by the Director or any peace officer upon | ||||||
12 | process or seizure warrant issued by any court having | ||||||
13 | jurisdiction over the property. Seizure by the Director or | ||||||
14 | any peace officer without process may be made: | ||||||
15 | (A) if the seizure is incident to a seizure | ||||||
16 | warrant; | ||||||
17 | (B) if the property subject to seizure has been the | ||||||
18 | subject of a prior judgment in favor of the State in a | ||||||
19 | criminal proceeding, or in an injunction or forfeiture | ||||||
20 | proceeding based upon this Article; | ||||||
21 | (C) if there is probable cause to believe that the | ||||||
22 | property is directly or indirectly dangerous to health | ||||||
23 | or safety; | ||||||
24 | (D) if there is probable cause to believe that the | ||||||
25 | property is subject to forfeiture under this Article | ||||||
26 | and the property is seized under circumstances in which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a warrantless seizure or arrest would be reasonable; or | ||||||
2 | (E) in accordance with the Code of Criminal | ||||||
3 | Procedure of 1963. | ||||||
4 | (3) In the event of seizure pursuant to paragraph (2), | ||||||
5 | forfeiture proceedings shall be instituted in accordance | ||||||
6 | with subsections (i) through (r). | ||||||
7 | (4) Property taken or detained under this Section shall | ||||||
8 | not be subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the | ||||||
9 | custody of the Director subject only to the order and | ||||||
10 | judgments of the circuit court having jurisdiction over the | ||||||
11 | forfeiture proceedings and the decisions of the State's | ||||||
12 | Attorney under this Article. When property is seized under | ||||||
13 | this Article, the seizing agency shall promptly conduct an | ||||||
14 | inventory of the seized property and estimate the | ||||||
15 | property's value and shall forward a copy of the inventory | ||||||
16 | of seized property and the estimate of the property's value | ||||||
17 | to the Director. Upon receiving notice of seizure, the | ||||||
18 | Director may: | ||||||
19 | (A) place the property under seal; | ||||||
20 | (B) remove the property to a place designated by | ||||||
21 | the Director; | ||||||
22 | (C) keep the property in the possession of the | ||||||
23 | seizing agency; | ||||||
24 | (D) remove the property to a storage area for | ||||||
25 | safekeeping or, if the property is a negotiable | ||||||
26 | instrument or money and is not needed for evidentiary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | purposes, deposit it in an interest bearing account; | ||||||
2 | (E) place the property under constructive seizure | ||||||
3 | by posting notice of pending forfeiture on it, by | ||||||
4 | giving notice of pending forfeiture to its owners and | ||||||
5 | interest holders, or by filing notice of pending | ||||||
6 | forfeiture in any appropriate public record relating | ||||||
7 | to the property; or | ||||||
8 | (F) provide for another agency or custodian, | ||||||
9 | including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to | ||||||
10 | take custody of the property upon the terms and | ||||||
11 | conditions set by the Director. | ||||||
12 | (5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the | ||||||
13 | Director shall sell all such property unless such property | ||||||
14 | is required by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the | ||||||
15 | public, and shall distribute the proceeds of the sale, | ||||||
16 | together with any moneys forfeited or seized, in accordance | ||||||
17 | with paragraph (6). However, upon the application of the | ||||||
18 | seizing agency or prosecutor who was responsible for the | ||||||
19 | investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution which | ||||||
20 | lead to the forfeiture, the Director may return any item of | ||||||
21 | forfeited property to the seizing agency or prosecutor for | ||||||
22 | official use in the enforcement of laws, if the agency or | ||||||
23 | prosecutor can demonstrate that the item requested would be | ||||||
24 | useful to the agency or prosecutor in its enforcement | ||||||
25 | efforts. When any real property returned to the seizing | ||||||
26 | agency is sold by the agency or its unit of government, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceeds of the sale shall be delivered to the Director and | ||||||
2 | distributed in accordance with paragraph (6). | ||||||
3 | (6) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other | ||||||
4 | property forfeited and seized under this Article shall be | ||||||
5 | distributed as follows: | ||||||
6 | (A) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan | ||||||
7 | enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State | ||||||
8 | law enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or | ||||||
9 | participated in the investigation resulting in the | ||||||
10 | forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable | ||||||
11 | relationship to the degree of direct participation of | ||||||
12 | the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in | ||||||
13 | the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of | ||||||
14 | the property forfeited and the total law enforcement | ||||||
15 | effort with respect to the violation of the law upon | ||||||
16 | which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to | ||||||
17 | the agency or agencies shall be used for the | ||||||
18 | enforcement of laws. | ||||||
19 | (B)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of | ||||||
20 | the State's Attorney of the county in which the | ||||||
21 | prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was | ||||||
22 | instituted, deposited in a special fund in the county | ||||||
23 | treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney for | ||||||
24 | use in the enforcement of laws. In counties over | ||||||
25 | 3,000,000 population, 25% shall be distributed to the | ||||||
26 | Office of the State's Attorney for use in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement of laws. If the prosecution is undertaken | ||||||
2 | solely by the Attorney General, the portion provided | ||||||
3 | hereunder shall be distributed to the Attorney General | ||||||
4 | for use in the enforcement of laws. | ||||||
5 | (ii) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office | ||||||
6 | of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and | ||||||
7 | deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund | ||||||
8 | of that office to be used for additional expenses | ||||||
9 | incurred in the investigation, prosecution and | ||||||
10 | appeal of cases arising under laws. The Office of | ||||||
11 | the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor shall | ||||||
12 | not receive distribution from cases brought in | ||||||
13 | counties with over 3,000,000 population. | ||||||
14 | (C) 10% shall be retained by the Department of | ||||||
15 | State Police for expenses related to the | ||||||
16 | administration and sale of seized and forfeited | ||||||
17 | property. | ||||||
18 | (i) Notice to owner or interest holder. | ||||||
19 | (1) Whenever notice of pending forfeiture or service of | ||||||
20 | an in rem complaint is required under the provisions of | ||||||
21 | this Article, such notice or service shall be given as | ||||||
22 | follows: | ||||||
23 | (A) If the owner's or interest holder's name and | ||||||
24 | current address are known, then by either personal | ||||||
25 | service or mailing a copy of the notice by certified | ||||||
26 | mail, return receipt requested, to that address. For |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | purposes of notice under this Section, if a person has | ||||||
2 | been arrested for the conduct giving rise to the | ||||||
3 | forfeiture, then the address provided to the arresting | ||||||
4 | agency at the time of arrest shall be deemed to be that | ||||||
5 | person's known address. Provided, however, if an owner | ||||||
6 | or interest holder's address changes prior to the | ||||||
7 | effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the | ||||||
8 | owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the | ||||||
9 | seizing agency of the change in address or, if the | ||||||
10 | owner or interest holder's address changes subsequent | ||||||
11 | to the effective date of the notice of pending | ||||||
12 | forfeiture, the owner or interest holder shall | ||||||
13 | promptly notify the State's Attorney of the change in | ||||||
14 | address; or | ||||||
15 | (B) If the property seized is a conveyance, to the | ||||||
16 | address reflected in the office of the agency or | ||||||
17 | official in which title or interest to the conveyance | ||||||
18 | is required by law to be recorded, then by mailing a | ||||||
19 | copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt | ||||||
20 | requested, to that address; or | ||||||
21 | (C) If the owner's or interest holder's address is | ||||||
22 | not known, and is not on record as provided in | ||||||
23 | paragraph (B), then by publication for 3 successive | ||||||
24 | weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the | ||||||
25 | county in which the seizure occurred. | ||||||
26 | (2) Notice served under this Article is effective upon |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | personal service, the last date of publication, or the | ||||||
2 | mailing of written notice, whichever is earlier. | ||||||
3 | (j) Notice to State's Attorney. The law enforcement agency | ||||||
4 | seizing property for forfeiture under this Article shall, | ||||||
5 | within 90 days after seizure, notify the State's Attorney for | ||||||
6 | the county, either where an act or omission giving rise to the | ||||||
7 | forfeiture occurred or where the property was seized, of the | ||||||
8 | seizure of the property and the facts and circumstances giving | ||||||
9 | rise to the seizure and shall provide the State's Attorney with | ||||||
10 | the inventory of the property and its estimated value. When the | ||||||
11 | property seized for forfeiture is a vehicle, the law | ||||||
12 | enforcement agency seizing the property shall immediately | ||||||
13 | notify the Secretary of State that forfeiture proceedings are | ||||||
14 | pending regarding such vehicle. | ||||||
15 | (k) Non-judicial forfeiture. If non-real property that | ||||||
16 | exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance, | ||||||
17 | or if real property is seized under the provisions of this | ||||||
18 | Article, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial in rem | ||||||
19 | forfeiture proceedings as described in subsection (l) of this | ||||||
20 | Section within 45 days from receipt of notice of seizure from | ||||||
21 | the seizing agency under subsection (j) of this Section. | ||||||
22 | However, if non-real property that does not exceed $20,000 in | ||||||
23 | value excluding the value of any conveyance is seized, the | ||||||
24 | following procedure shall be used: | ||||||
25 | (1) If, after review of the facts surrounding the | ||||||
26 | seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 | ||||||
2 | days after the receipt of notice of seizure from the | ||||||
3 | seizing agency, the State's Attorney shall cause notice of | ||||||
4 | pending forfeiture to be given to the owner of the property | ||||||
5 | and all known interest holders of the property in | ||||||
6 | accordance with subsection (i) of this Section. | ||||||
7 | (2) The notice of pending forfeiture must include a | ||||||
8 | description of the property, the estimated value of the | ||||||
9 | property, the date and place of seizure, the conduct giving | ||||||
10 | rise to forfeiture or the violation of law alleged, and a | ||||||
11 | summary of procedures and procedural rights applicable to | ||||||
12 | the forfeiture action. | ||||||
13 | (3)(A) Any person claiming an interest in property | ||||||
14 | which is the subject of notice under paragraph (1) of this | ||||||
15 | subsection (k), must, in order to preserve any rights or | ||||||
16 | claims to the property, within 45 days after the effective | ||||||
17 | date of notice as described in subsection (i) of this | ||||||
18 | Section, file a verified claim with the State's Attorney | ||||||
19 | expressing his or her interest in the property. The claim | ||||||
20 | must set forth: | ||||||
21 | (i) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on | ||||||
22 | the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the | ||||||
23 | claimant; | ||||||
24 | (ii) the address at which the claimant will accept | ||||||
25 | mail; | ||||||
26 | (iii) the nature and extent of the claimant's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interest in the property; | ||||||
2 | (iv) the date, identity of the transferor, and | ||||||
3 | circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the | ||||||
4 | interest in the property;
| ||||||
5 | (v) the name and address of all other persons known | ||||||
6 | to have an interest in the property; | ||||||
7 | (vi) the specific provision of law relied on in | ||||||
8 | asserting the property is not subject to forfeiture; | ||||||
9 | (vii) all essential facts supporting each | ||||||
10 | assertion; and | ||||||
11 | (viii) the relief sought. | ||||||
12 | (B) If a claimant files the claim and deposits with the | ||||||
13 | State's Attorney a cost bond, in the form of a cashier's | ||||||
14 | check payable to the clerk of the court, in the sum of 10% | ||||||
15 | of the reasonable value of the property as alleged by the | ||||||
16 | State's Attorney or the sum of $100, whichever is greater, | ||||||
17 | upon condition that, in the case of forfeiture, the | ||||||
18 | claimant must pay all costs and expenses of forfeiture | ||||||
19 | proceedings, then the State's Attorney shall institute | ||||||
20 | judicial in rem forfeiture proceedings and deposit the cost | ||||||
21 | bond with the clerk of the court as described in subsection | ||||||
22 | (l) of this Section within 45 days after receipt of the | ||||||
23 | claim and cost bond. In lieu of a cost bond, a person | ||||||
24 | claiming interest in the seized property may file, under | ||||||
25 | penalty of perjury, an indigency affidavit which has been | ||||||
26 | approved by a circuit court judge. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (C) If none of the seized property is forfeited in the | ||||||
2 | judicial in rem proceeding, the clerk of the court shall | ||||||
3 | return to the claimant, unless the court orders otherwise, | ||||||
4 | 90% of the sum which has been deposited and shall retain as | ||||||
5 | costs 10% of the money deposited. If any of the seized | ||||||
6 | property is forfeited under the judicial forfeiture | ||||||
7 | proceeding, the clerk of the court shall transfer 90% of | ||||||
8 | the sum which has been deposited to the State's Attorney | ||||||
9 | prosecuting the civil forfeiture to be applied to the costs | ||||||
10 | of prosecution and the clerk shall retain as costs 10% of | ||||||
11 | the sum deposited. | ||||||
12 | (4) If no claim is filed or bond given within the 45 | ||||||
13 | day period as described in paragraph (3) of this subsection | ||||||
14 | (k), the State's Attorney shall declare the property | ||||||
15 | forfeited and shall promptly notify the owner and all known | ||||||
16 | interest holders of the property and the Director of State | ||||||
17 | Police of the declaration of forfeiture and the Director | ||||||
18 | shall dispose of the property in accordance with law. | ||||||
19 | (l) Judicial in rem procedures. If property seized under | ||||||
20 | the provisions of this Article is non-real property that | ||||||
21 | exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance, | ||||||
22 | or is real property, or a claimant has filed a claim and a cost | ||||||
23 | bond under paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section, the | ||||||
24 | following judicial in rem procedures shall apply: | ||||||
25 | (1) If, after a review of the facts surrounding the | ||||||
26 | seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 | ||||||
2 | days of the receipt of notice of seizure by the seizing | ||||||
3 | agency or the filing of the claim and cost bond, whichever | ||||||
4 | is later, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial | ||||||
5 | forfeiture proceedings by filing a verified complaint for | ||||||
6 | forfeiture and, if the claimant has filed a claim and cost | ||||||
7 | bond, by depositing the cost bond with the clerk of the | ||||||
8 | court. When authorized by law, a forfeiture must be ordered | ||||||
9 | by a court on an action in rem brought by a State's | ||||||
10 | Attorney under a verified complaint for forfeiture. | ||||||
11 | (2) During the probable cause portion of the judicial | ||||||
12 | in rem proceeding wherein the State presents its | ||||||
13 | case-in-chief, the court must receive and consider, among | ||||||
14 | other things, all relevant hearsay evidence and | ||||||
15 | information. The laws of evidence relating to civil actions | ||||||
16 | apply to all other portions of the judicial in rem | ||||||
17 | proceeding. | ||||||
18 | (3) Only an owner of or interest holder in the property | ||||||
19 | may file an answer asserting a claim against the property | ||||||
20 | in the action in rem. For purposes of this Section, the | ||||||
21 | owner or interest holder shall be referred to as claimant. | ||||||
22 | Upon motion of the State, the court shall first hold a | ||||||
23 | hearing, wherein any claimant must establish by a | ||||||
24 | preponderance of the evidence, that he or she has a lawful, | ||||||
25 | legitimate ownership interest in the property and that it | ||||||
26 | was obtained through a lawful source. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) The answer must be signed by the owner or interest | ||||||
2 | holder under penalty of perjury and must set forth: | ||||||
3 | (A) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on | ||||||
4 | the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the | ||||||
5 | claimant; | ||||||
6 | (B) the address at which the claimant will accept | ||||||
7 | mail; | ||||||
8 | (C) the nature and extent of the claimant's | ||||||
9 | interest in the property; | ||||||
10 | (D) the date, identity of transferor, and | ||||||
11 | circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the | ||||||
12 | interest in the property; | ||||||
13 | (E) the name and address of all other persons known | ||||||
14 | to have an interest in the property; | ||||||
15 | (F) all essential facts supporting each assertion; | ||||||
16 | and | ||||||
17 | (G) the precise relief sought.
| ||||||
18 | (5) The answer must be filed with the court within 45 | ||||||
19 | days after service of the civil in rem complaint. | ||||||
20 | (6) The hearing must be held within 60 days after | ||||||
21 | filing of the answer unless continued for good cause.
| ||||||
22 | (7) The State shall show the existence of probable | ||||||
23 | cause for forfeiture of the property. If the State shows | ||||||
24 | probable cause, the claimant has the burden of showing by a | ||||||
25 | preponderance of the evidence that the claimant's interest | ||||||
26 | in the property is not subject to forfeiture.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (8) If the State does not show existence of probable | ||||||
2 | cause, the court shall order the interest in the property | ||||||
3 | returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all | ||||||
4 | other property forfeited to the State. If the State does | ||||||
5 | show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all | ||||||
6 | property forfeited to the State. | ||||||
7 | (9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is | ||||||
8 | precluded from later denying the essential allegations of | ||||||
9 | the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted | ||||||
10 | in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the | ||||||
11 | pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However, | ||||||
12 | evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible. | ||||||
13 | (10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding | ||||||
14 | does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article; | ||||||
15 | however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's | ||||||
16 | Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings | ||||||
17 | during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment | ||||||
18 | or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such | ||||||
19 | a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property | ||||||
20 | subject to forfeiture under this Article shall not be | ||||||
21 | subject to return or release by a court exercising | ||||||
22 | jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of | ||||||
23 | such property unless such return or release is consented to | ||||||
24 | by the State's Attorney. | ||||||
25 | (11) All property declared forfeited under this | ||||||
26 | Article vests in this State on the commission of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the | ||||||
2 | proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property | ||||||
3 | or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain | ||||||
4 | subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered | ||||||
5 | forfeited. | ||||||
6 | (12) A civil action under this Article must be | ||||||
7 | commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise | ||||||
8 | to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5 | ||||||
9 | years after the forfeitable property is discovered, | ||||||
10 | whichever is later, excluding any time during which either | ||||||
11 | the property or claimant is out of the State or in | ||||||
12 | confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating | ||||||
13 | to the same conduct are in progress. | ||||||
14 | (m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for | ||||||
15 | evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting | ||||||
16 | judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not | ||||||
17 | begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence. | ||||||
18 | (n) Settlement of claims. Notwithstanding other provisions | ||||||
19 | of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized | ||||||
20 | property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning | ||||||
21 | the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as | ||||||
22 | are set out in writing in a settlement agreement. | ||||||
23 | (o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this | ||||||
24 | Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona | ||||||
25 | fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered | ||||||
26 | or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was | ||||||
2 | paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure | ||||||
3 | warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and | ||||||
4 | where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property | ||||||
5 | did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under | ||||||
6 | this Article. | ||||||
7 | (p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly | ||||||
8 | that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally | ||||||
9 | construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The | ||||||
10 | forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be | ||||||
11 | considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any | ||||||
12 | sentence or other remedy provided by law. | ||||||
13 | (q) Judicial review. If property has been declared | ||||||
14 | forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who | ||||||
15 | has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within | ||||||
16 | 30 days after the effective date of the notice of the | ||||||
17 | declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as | ||||||
18 | described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section. | ||||||
19 | If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the | ||||||
20 | procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply. | ||||||
21 | (r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not | ||||||
22 | necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in | ||||||
23 | this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other | ||||||
24 | pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under | ||||||
25 | this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception | ||||||
26 | is upon the person claiming it. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (s) Review of administrative decisions.
All administrative | ||||||
2 | findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and | ||||||
3 | conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article | ||||||
4 | are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any | ||||||
5 | person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the | ||||||
6 | decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative | ||||||
7 | Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending | ||||||
8 | final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders, | ||||||
9 | and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full | ||||||
10 | force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court | ||||||
11 | pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such | ||||||
12 | review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's | ||||||
13 | Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order | ||||||
14 | of court. However, no stay of any decision of the | ||||||
15 | administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved | ||||||
16 | by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence | ||||||
17 | that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause, | ||||||
18 | the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a | ||||||
19 | substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that | ||||||
20 | granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the | ||||||
21 | general public.

15 | device has been placed in a school in which the offender knows | ||||||
16 | that such bomb or explosive device was not placed in the | ||||||
17 | school, to reimburse the unit of government that employs the | ||||||
18 | emergency response officer or officers that were dispatched to | ||||||
19 | the school for the cost of the search for a bomb or explosive | ||||||
20 | device. For the purposes of this Section, "emergency response" | ||||||
21 | means any incident requiring a response by a police officer, a | ||||||
22 | firefighter, a State Fire Marshal employee, or an ambulance. | ||||||

the county of seizure about the | ||||||
16 | seizure.

24 | When a person discharges a firearm at another individual | ||||||
25 | from a vehicle with
the knowledge and consent of the owner of | ||||||
26 | the vehicle and with the intent to
cause death or great bodily |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | harm to that individual and as a result causes
death or great | ||||||
2 | bodily harm to that individual, the vehicle shall be subject to
| ||||||
3 | seizure and forfeiture under the same procedures provided in | ||||||
4 | this Article for
the seizure and forfeiture of vehicles used in | ||||||
5 | violations of clauses (a), (b),

an | ||||||
7 | offense described in subsection (g) of Section 6-303 of the
| ||||||
8 | Illinois Vehicle Code,
a violation of
subdivision (c-1)(1), | ||||||

of Section 11-501 | ||||||
10 | of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or Section 9-3 of this
Code makes | ||||||
11 | a showing
that the seized vehicle is the only source of | ||||||
12 | transportation and it is
determined that the financial hardship | ||||||
13 | to the family as a result of the seizure
outweighs the benefit | ||||||
14 | to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be
forfeited to | ||||||
15 | the spouse or family member and the title to the vehicle shall | ||||||
16 | be
transferred to the spouse or family member who is properly | ||||||
17 | licensed and who
requires the use of the vehicle for employment | ||||||
18 | or family transportation
purposes. A written declaration of | ||||||
19 | forfeiture of a vehicle under this
Section shall be sufficient | ||||||
20 | cause for the title to be transferred to the spouse
or family | ||||||
21 | member. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to | ||||||
22 | one
forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a | ||||||
23 | subsequent
forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent | ||||||
24 | conviction of either spouse or
the family member, the spouse or | ||||||
25 | family member to whom the vehicle was
forfeited under the first | ||||||
26 | forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the
provisions of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of
the | ||||||
2 | vehicle seized owns more than one vehicle,
the procedure set | ||||||
3 | out in this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
| ||||||
4 | Property declared contraband under Section 40 of the | ||||||
5 | Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act may be | ||||||

Article.

| ||||||
8 | Date of Notice
| ||||||
9 | "To (Name of offender):
| ||||||
10 | Under a recent change in the law you are provided with this | ||||||
11 | choice:
| ||||||
12 | (1) You may remain under your present indeterminate | ||||||
13 | sentence and
continue to be eligible for parole; or (2) you may | ||||||
14 | waive your right to
parole and accept the release date which | ||||||
15 | has been set for you. From
this release date will be deducted | ||||||
16 | any good conduct credit you may earn.
| ||||||
17 | If you accept the release date established by the Board, | ||||||
18 | you will no
longer be eligible for parole.
| ||||||
19 | Your release date from prison has been set for: (release | ||||||
20 | date) ........ ,
subject to a term of mandatory supervised | ||||||
21 | release as provided by law.
| ||||||
22 | If you accumulate the maximum amount of good conduct credit | ||||||
23 | as
allowed by law recently enacted, you can be released on:
| ||||||
24 | ........ , subject to a term of mandatory supervised release as | ||||||
25 | provided by law.
| ||||||
26 | Should you choose not to accept the release date, your next |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | parole
hearing will be: ........ .
| ||||||
2 | The Board has based its determination of your release date | ||||||
3 | on the
following:
| ||||||
4 | (1) The material that normally would be examined in | ||||||
5 | connection with
your parole hearing, as set forth in | ||||||
6 | paragraph (d) of Section 3-3-4 of
the Unified Code of | ||||||
7 | Corrections:
| ||||||
8 | (2) the intent of the court in imposing sentence on | ||||||
9 | you;
| ||||||
10 | (3) the present schedule of sentences for similar | ||||||
11 | offenses provided
by Articles 4.5 and 5 of Chapter V
of the | ||||||
12 | Unified Code of Corrections, as
amended;
| ||||||
13 | (4) the factors in mitigation and aggravation provided | ||||||
14 | by Sections
5-5-3.1 and 5-5-3.2 of the Unified Code of | ||||||
15 | Corrections, as amended;
| ||||||
16 | (5) The rate of accumulating good conduct credits | ||||||
17 | provided by
Section 3-6-3 of the Unified Code of | ||||||
18 | Corrections, as amended;
| ||||||
19 | (6) your behavior since commitment.
| ||||||
20 | You now have 60 days in which to decide whether to remain | ||||||
21 | under your
indeterminate sentence and continue to be eligible | ||||||
22 | for parole or waive
your right to parole and accept the release | ||||||
23 | date established for you by
the Board. If you do nothing within | ||||||
24 | 60 days, you will remain under the
parole system.
| ||||||
25 | If you accept the release date, you may accumulate good | ||||||
26 | conduct
credit at the maximum rate provided under the law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recently enacted.
| ||||||
2 | If you feel that the release date set for you is unfair or | ||||||
3 | is not
based on complete information required to be considered | ||||||
4 | by the Board,
you may request that the Board reconsider the | ||||||
5 | date. In your request you
must set forth specific reasons why | ||||||
6 | you feel the Board's release date is
unfair and you may submit | ||||||
7 | relevant material in support of your request.
| ||||||
8 | The Department of Corrections is obligated to assist you in | ||||||
9 | that
effort, if you ask it to do so.
| ||||||
10 | The Board will notify you within 60 days whether or not it | ||||||
11 | will
reconsider its decision. The Board's decision with respect | ||||||
12 | to
reconsidering your release date is final and cannot be | ||||||
13 | appealed to any
court.
| ||||||
14 | If the Board decides not to reconsider your case you will | ||||||
15 | have 60
days in which to decide whether to accept the release | ||||||
16 | date and waive
your right to parole or to continue under the | ||||||
17 | parole system. If you do
nothing within 60 days after you | ||||||
18 | receive notification of the Board's
decision you will remain | ||||||
19 | under the parole system.
| ||||||
20 | If the Board decides to reconsider its decision with | ||||||
21 | respect to your
release date, the Board will schedule a date | ||||||
22 | for reconsideration as soon
as practicable, but no later than | ||||||
23 | 60 days from the date it receives your
request, and give you at | ||||||
24 | least 30 days notice. You may submit material
to the Board | ||||||
25 | which you believe will be helpful in deciding a proper date
for | ||||||
26 | your release. The Department of Corrections is obligated to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assist
you in that effort, if you ask it to do so.
| ||||||
2 | Neither you nor your lawyer has the right to be present on | ||||||
3 | the date
of reconsideration, nor the right to call witnesses. | ||||||
4 | However, the
Board may ask you or your lawyer to appear or may | ||||||
5 | ask to hear witnesses.
The Board will base its determination on | ||||||
6 | the same data on which it made
its earlier determination, plus | ||||||
7 | any new information which may be
available to it.
| ||||||
8 | When the Board has made its decision you will be informed | ||||||
9 | of the
release date. In no event will it be longer than the | ||||||
10 | release date
originally determined. From this date you may | ||||||
11 | continue to accumulate
good conduct credits at the maximum | ||||||
12 | rate. You will not be able to
appeal the Board's decision to a | ||||||
13 | court.
| ||||||
14 | Following the Board's reconsideration and upon being | ||||||
15 | notified of your
release date you will have 60 days in which to | ||||||
16 | decide whether to accept
the release date and waive your right | ||||||
17 | to parole or to continue under the
parole system. If you do | ||||||
18 | nothing within 60 days after notification of
the Board's | ||||||
19 | decision you will remain under the parole system."
| ||||||
20 | (d) The Board shall provide each eligible offender with a | ||||||
21 | form
substantially as follows:
| ||||||
22 | "I (name of offender) am fully aware of my right to choose | ||||||
23 | between
parole eligibility and a fixed release date. I know | ||||||
24 | that if I accept
the release date established, I will give up | ||||||
25 | my right to seek parole. I
have read and understood the | ||||||
26 | Prisoner Review Board's letter, and I know
how and under what |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | circumstances the Board has set my release date. I
know that I | ||||||
2 | will be released on that date and will be released earlier
if I | ||||||
3 | accumulate good conduct credit. I know that the date set by the
| ||||||
4 | Board is final, and can't be appealed to a court.
| ||||||
5 | Fully aware of all the implications, I expressly and | ||||||
6 | knowingly waive
my right to seek parole and accept the release | ||||||
7 | date as established by
the Prisoner Review Board."
| ||||||
8 | (e) The Board shall use the following information and | ||||||
9 | standards in
establishing a release date for each eligible | ||||||
10 | offender who requests that
a date be set:

23 | (f) After the release date is set by the Board, the | ||||||
24 | offender can
accumulate good conduct credits in accordance with | ||||||
25 | Section 3-6-3 of this
Code.
| ||||||
26 | (g) The release date established by the Board shall not be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sooner
than the earliest date that the offender would have been | ||||||
2 | eligible for
release under the sentence imposed on him by the | ||||||
3 | court, less time credit
previously earned for good behavior, | ||||||
4 | nor shall it be later than the
latest date at which the | ||||||
5 | offender would have been eligible for release
under such | ||||||
6 | sentence, less time credit previously earned for good behavior.
| ||||||
7 | (h) (1) Except as provided in subsection (b), each prisoner
| ||||||
8 | appearing at his next parole hearing subsequent to the | ||||||
9 | effective date of
the amendatory Act of 1977, shall be notified | ||||||
10 | within 7 days of the
hearing that he will either be released on | ||||||
11 | parole or that a release date
has been set by the Board. The | ||||||
12 | notice and waiver form provided for in
subsections (c) and (d) | ||||||
13 | shall be presented to eligible prisoners no
later than 7 days | ||||||
14 | following their parole hearing. A written statement
of the | ||||||
15 | basis for the decision with regard to the release date set | ||||||
16 | shall
be given to such prisoners no later than 14 days | ||||||
17 | following the parole
hearing.
| ||||||
18 | (2) Each prisoner upon notification of his release date | ||||||
19 | shall have
60 days to choose whether to remain under the parole | ||||||
20 | system or to accept
the release date established by the Board. | ||||||
21 | No release date shall be
effective unless the prisoner waives | ||||||
22 | his right to parole in writing. If
no choice is made by such | ||||||
23 | prisoner within 60 days from the date of his
notification of a | ||||||
24 | release date, such prisoner shall remain under the
parole | ||||||
25 | system.

shall notify the prisoner as to | ||||||

Board's | ||||||
7 | decision. No prisoner shall be entitled to more than one | ||||||
8 | request
for reconsideration of his release date.
| ||||||
9 | (A) If the Board decides not to reconsider the release | ||||||
10 | date, the
prisoner shall have 60 days to choose whether to | ||||||
11 | remain under the parole
system or to accept the release | ||||||
12 | date established by the Board. No
release date shall be | ||||||
13 | effective unless the prisoner waives his right to
parole in | ||||||
14 | writing. If no choice is made by such prisoner within 60 | ||||||
15 | days
from the date of the notification by the Board | ||||||
16 | refusing to reconsider
his release date, such prisoner | ||||||
17 | shall remain under the parole system.
| ||||||
18 | (B) If the Board decides to reconsider its decision | ||||||
19 | with respect to
such release date, the Board shall schedule | ||||||
20 | a date for reconsideration
as soon as practicable, but no | ||||||
21 | later than 60 days from the date of the
prisoner's request, | ||||||
22 | and give such prisoner at least 30 days notice.
Such | ||||||

| ||||||
14 | Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
| ||||||
15 | Discharge and Disposition of Supervision.
The General Assembly | ||||||
16 | finds that in order to protect the public, the
criminal justice | ||||||
17 | system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
| ||||||
18 | by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair | ||||||
19 | punishments and
intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each | ||||||
20 | circuit shall adopt a system of
structured, intermediate | ||||||
21 | sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions
of a | ||||||
22 | sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
| ||||||
23 | supervision.
| ||||||
24 | (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
| ||||||
25 | provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence
of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | probation or conditional discharge upon an offender
unless, | ||||||
2 | having regard to the nature and circumstance of
the offense, | ||||||
3 | and to the history, character and condition
of the offender, | ||||||
4 | the court is of the opinion that:
| ||||||
5 | (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is | ||||||
6 | necessary
for the protection of the public; or
| ||||||
7 | (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
| ||||||
8 | the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
| ||||||
9 | inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
| ||||||
10 | (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or | ||||||
11 | consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted | ||||||
12 | into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug | ||||||
13 | Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the | ||||||
14 | public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
| ||||||
15 | The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of | ||||||
16 | probation,
conditional discharge, or supervision, that the | ||||||
17 | probation agency may invoke any
sanction from the list of | ||||||
18 | intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of
the | ||||||
19 | circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the | ||||||
20 | sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, | ||||||
21 | subject to the provisions of
Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
| ||||||
22 | (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
| ||||||
23 | discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion
that | ||||||
24 | neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic
imprisonment | ||||||
25 | nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
| ||||||
26 | (b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of | ||||||
3 | the Criminal Code of 1961 if the defendant within the past 12 | ||||||
4 | months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor | ||||||
5 | or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide | ||||||
6 | under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961. | ||||||
7 | (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
| ||||||
8 | by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
| ||||||
9 | finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the
imposition | ||||||
10 | of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the | ||||||
11 | defendant,
if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A | ||||||
12 | misdemeanor, as
defined by the following provisions of the | ||||||
13 | Criminal Code of 1961: Sections
11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5; | ||||||

17 | Section
3.01,
3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care
for Animals | ||||||
18 | Act; or (iii)
a felony.
If the defendant
is not barred from | ||||||
19 | receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
| ||||||
20 | subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after | ||||||
21 | considering the
circumstances of the offense, and the history,
| ||||||
22 | character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the | ||||||
23 | opinion

12 | age found guilty of any
alcohol, cannabis or controlled | ||||||
13 | substance violation, refrain from acquiring

16 | may require that
the minor refrain from driving or operating | ||||||
17 | any motor vehicle during the
period of probation or conditional | ||||||
18 | discharge, except as may be necessary in
the course of the | ||||||
19 | minor's lawful employment.
| ||||||
20 | (d) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional | ||||||

probation or conditional discharge |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the offender be committed to a
period of imprisonment in | ||||||
2 | excess of 6 months.
This 6 month limit shall not include | ||||||
3 | periods of confinement given pursuant to
a sentence of county | ||||||
4 | impact incarceration under Section 5-8-1.2.
| ||||||
5 | Persons committed to imprisonment as a condition of | ||||||
6 | probation or
conditional discharge shall not be committed to | ||||||
7 | the Department of
Corrections.
| ||||||
8 | (f) The court may combine a sentence of periodic | ||||||
9 | imprisonment under
Article 7 or a sentence to a county impact | ||||||
10 | incarceration program under
Article 8 with a sentence of | ||||||
11 | probation or conditional discharge.
| ||||||
12 | (g) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional | ||||||
13 | discharge and
who during the term of either undergoes mandatory | ||||||
14 | drug or alcohol testing,
or both, or is assigned to be placed | ||||||
15 | on an approved electronic monitoring
device, shall be ordered | ||||||
16 | to pay all costs incidental to such mandatory drug
or alcohol | ||||||
17 | testing, or both, and all costs
incidental to such approved | ||||||
18 | electronic monitoring in accordance with the
defendant's | ||||||
19 | ability to pay those costs. The county board with
the | ||||||
20 | concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial
circuit in which | ||||||
21 | the county is located shall establish reasonable fees for
the | ||||||
22 | cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses related | ||||||
23 | to the
mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and all | ||||||
24 | costs incidental to
approved electronic monitoring, involved | ||||||
25 | in a successful probation program
for the county. The | ||||||
26 | concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of
an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administrative order.
The fees shall be collected by the clerk | ||||||
2 | of the circuit court. The clerk of
the circuit court shall pay | ||||||
3 | all moneys collected from these fees to the county
treasurer | ||||||
4 | who shall use the moneys collected to defray the costs of
drug | ||||||
5 | testing, alcohol testing, and electronic monitoring.
The | ||||||
6 | county treasurer shall deposit the fees collected in the
county | ||||||
7 | working cash fund under Section 6-27001 or Section 6-29002 of | ||||||
8 | the
Counties Code, as the case may be.
| ||||||
9 | (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from | ||||||
10 | the
sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the | ||||||
11 | concurrence of
both courts. Further transfers or retransfers of
| ||||||
12 | jurisdiction are also
authorized in the same manner. The court | ||||||
13 | to which jurisdiction has been
transferred shall have the same | ||||||
14 | powers as the sentencing court.
| ||||||
15 | (i) The court shall impose upon an offender
sentenced to | ||||||
16 | probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
| ||||||
17 | after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the | ||||||
18 | supervision of a
probation or court services department after | ||||||
19 | January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or | ||||||
20 | conditional
discharge or supervised community service, a fee of | ||||||
21 | $50
for each month of probation or
conditional
discharge | ||||||
22 | supervision or supervised community service ordered by the | ||||||
23 | court, unless after
determining the inability of the person | ||||||
24 | sentenced to probation or conditional
discharge or supervised | ||||||
25 | community service to pay the
fee, the court assesses a lesser | ||||||
26 | fee. The court may not impose the fee on a
minor who is made a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ward of the State under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
while | ||||||
2 | the minor is in placement.
The fee shall be imposed only upon
| ||||||
3 | an offender who is actively supervised by the
probation and | ||||||
4 | court services
department. The fee shall be collected by the | ||||||
5 | clerk
of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court | ||||||
6 | shall pay all monies
collected from this fee to the county | ||||||
7 | treasurer for deposit in the
probation and court services fund | ||||||
8 | under Section 15.1 of the
Probation and Probation Officers Act.
| ||||||
9 | A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this | ||||||
10 | subsection (i) in excess of $25
per month unless: (1) the | ||||||
11 | circuit court has adopted, by administrative
order issued by | ||||||
12 | the chief judge, a standard probation fee guide
determining an | ||||||
13 | offender's ability to pay, under guidelines developed by
the | ||||||
14 | Administrative
Office of the Illinois Courts; and (2) the | ||||||
15 | circuit court has authorized, by
administrative order issued by | ||||||
16 | the chief judge, the creation of a Crime
Victim's Services | ||||||
17 | Fund, to be administered by the Chief Judge or his or
her | ||||||
18 | designee, for services to crime victims and their families. Of | ||||||
19 | the
amount collected as a probation fee, up to $5 of that fee
| ||||||
20 | collected per month may be used to provide services to crime | ||||||
21 | victims
and their families.
| ||||||
22 | This amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly deletes | ||||||
23 | the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was | ||||||
24 | imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to | ||||||
25 | control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that | ||||||
26 | retains or incorporates that fee increase. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i) | ||||||
2 | of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a | ||||||
3 | felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management | ||||||
4 | Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation department | ||||||
5 | has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined in the Sex | ||||||
6 | Offender Management Board Act), the court or the probation | ||||||
7 | department shall assess additional fees to pay for all costs of | ||||||
8 | treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and treatment, and | ||||||
9 | monitoring the offender, based on that offender's ability to | ||||||
10 | pay those costs either as they occur or under a payment plan. | ||||||
11 | (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any | ||||||
12 | violation of
Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle | ||||||
13 | Code, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and any | ||||||
14 | violation of the Child Passenger
Protection Act, or a similar | ||||||
15 | provision of a local ordinance, shall be
collected and | ||||||
16 | disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section 27.5
| ||||||
17 | of the Clerks of Courts Act.
| ||||||
18 | (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or | ||||||
19 | conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in | ||||||
20 | the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the | ||||||
21 | court or probation department has determined to be sexually | ||||||
22 | motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act | ||||||
23 | shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or | ||||||
24 | indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall | ||||||
25 | be available for all evaluations and treatment programs | ||||||
26 | required by the court or the probation department.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to | ||||||
2 | probation or conditional
discharge for a violation of an order | ||||||
3 | of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as | ||||||
4 | provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code. | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | Sec. 5-6-3.1. Incidents and Conditions of Supervision.
| ||||||
12 | (a) When a defendant is placed on supervision, the court | ||||||
13 | shall enter
an order for supervision specifying the period of | ||||||
14 | such supervision, and
shall defer further proceedings in the | ||||||
15 | case until the conclusion of the
period.
| ||||||
16 | (b) The period of supervision shall be reasonable under all | ||||||
17 | of the
circumstances of the case, but may not be longer than 2 | ||||||
18 | years, unless the
defendant has failed to pay the assessment | ||||||
19 | required by Section 10.3 of the
Cannabis Control Act,
Section | ||||||
20 | 411.2 of the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, or Section 80 | ||||||
21 | of the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, in | ||||||
22 | which case the court may extend supervision beyond 2 years.
| ||||||
23 | Additionally, the court shall order the defendant to perform no | ||||||
24 | less than 30
hours of community service and not more than 120 | ||||||
25 | hours of community service, if
community service is available |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the
jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county | ||||||
2 | board where the offense
was committed,
when the offense (1) was
| ||||||
3 | related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an | ||||||
4 | organized gang or
was motivated by the defendant's membership | ||||||
5 | in or allegiance to an organized
gang; or (2) is a violation of | ||||||
6 | any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 where a | ||||||
7 | disposition of supervision is not prohibited by Section
5-6-1 | ||||||
8 | of this Code.
The
community service shall include, but not be | ||||||
9 | limited to, the cleanup and repair
of any damage caused by | ||||||
10 | violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of
1961 and | ||||||
11 | similar damages to property located within the municipality or | ||||||
12 | county
in which the violation occurred. Where possible and | ||||||
13 | reasonable, the community
service should be performed in the | ||||||
14 | offender's neighborhood.
| ||||||
15 | For the purposes of this
Section, "organized gang" has the | ||||||
16 | meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the
Illinois Streetgang | ||||||
17 | Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

6 | Department of Corrections at the
time of the commission of | ||||||
7 | the offense, the sentence shall be served consecutive to | ||||||

9 | Department of Corrections. If, however, the defendant is | ||||||
10 | sentenced to punishment by death, the sentence shall be | ||||||
11 | executed at such time as the court may fix without regard | ||||||
12 | to the sentence under which the defendant may be held by | ||||||

25 | correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a | ||||||
26 | sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail |

2 | battery shall be served consecutively with the sentence | ||||||
3 | imposed upon conviction of the earlier misdemeanor or | ||||||
4 | felony, regardless of the order in which the
judgments of | ||||||

separate felony while free on bond or | ||||||
8 | if a person detained in a county jail facility or county | ||||||
9 | detention facility following conviction of a felony | ||||||
10 | commits a separate felony while in detention, then any | ||||||
11 | sentence following conviction of the separate felony shall | ||||||

13 | the defendant was on bond or detained.
| ||||||
14 | (10) If a person is found to be in possession of an | ||||||

sentence of imprisonment on a | ||||||
26 | defendant and the defendant is subsequently sentenced to a term |

2 | then the Illinois sentence shall run consecutively to the | ||||||
3 | sentence imposed by the court of the other state or the federal | ||||||
4 | court. That same Illinois court, however, may order that the | ||||||
5 | Illinois sentence run concurrently with the sentence imposed by | ||||||

16 | under Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of | ||||||
17 | Chapter V for the 2 most serious felonies involved. The | ||||||
18 | aggregate minimum period of consecutive sentences shall | ||||||
19 | not exceed the highest minimum term authorized under | ||||||
20 | Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter | ||||||
21 | V for the 2 most serious felonies involved. When sentenced | ||||||
22 | only for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be | ||||||
23 | consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one | ||||||
24 | Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||

the aggregate of consecutive |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sentences for offenses that were committed as part of a | ||||||
2 | single
course of conduct during which there was no | ||||||
3 | substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective | ||||||
4 | shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized | ||||||
5 | under Section 5-8-2 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-2) for the 2 most | ||||||
6 | serious felonies involved, but no such limitation shall | ||||||
7 | apply for offenses that were not committed as part of a | ||||||
8 | single course of conduct during which there was no | ||||||
9 | substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective. | ||||||
10 | When sentenced only for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not | ||||||
11 | be consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one | ||||||
12 | Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
13 | (g) Consecutive terms; manner served. In determining the | ||||||
14 | manner in which consecutive sentences of imprisonment, one or | ||||||
15 | more of which is for a felony, will be served, the Department | ||||||
16 | of Corrections shall treat the defendant as though he or she | ||||||
17 | had been committed for a single term subject to each of the | ||||||
18 | following: | ||||||
19 | (1) The maximum period of a term of imprisonment shall | ||||||
20 | consist of the aggregate
of the maximums of the imposed | ||||||
21 | indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the | ||||||
22 | imposed determinate sentences for felonies, plus the | ||||||
23 | aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for | ||||||
24 | misdemeanors, subject to subsection (f) of this Section. | ||||||

2 | involved. | ||||||
3 | (3) The minimum period of imprisonment shall be the | ||||||
4 | aggregate of the minimum
and determinate periods of | ||||||
5 | imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to subsection | ||||||
6 | (f) of this Section. | ||||||
7 | (4) The defendant shall be awarded credit against the | ||||||
8 | aggregate maximum term
and the aggregate minimum term of | ||||||
9 | imprisonment for all time served in an institution since | ||||||

| ||||||
18 | Section 625. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by | ||||||
19 | changing Section 15-1701 as follows:
| ||||||
20 | (735 ILCS 5/15-1701) (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1701)
| ||||||
21 | Sec. 15-1701. Right to possession.
| ||||||
22 | (a) General. The provisions of
this Article shall govern | ||||||
23 | the right to possession of the mortgaged real
estate during |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | foreclosure. Possession under this Article includes physical
| ||||||
2 | possession of the mortgaged real estate to the same extent to | ||||||
3 | which the
mortgagor, absent the foreclosure, would have been | ||||||
4 | entitled to physical
possession. For the purposes of Part 17, | ||||||
5 | real estate is residential real estate
only if it is | ||||||
6 | residential real estate at the time the foreclosure is | ||||||
7 | commenced.
| ||||||
8 | (b) Pre-Judgment. Prior to the entry of a judgment of | ||||||
9 | foreclosure:
| ||||||
10 | (1) In the case of residential real estate, the | ||||||
11 | mortgagor shall be
entitled to possession of the real | ||||||
12 | estate except if (i) the mortgagee shall
object and show | ||||||
13 | good cause, (ii) the mortgagee is so authorized by the | ||||||
14 | terms of
the mortgage or other written instrument, and | ||||||
15 | (iii) the court is satisfied that
there is a reasonable | ||||||
16 | probability that the mortgagee will prevail on a final
| ||||||
17 | hearing of the cause, the court shall upon request place | ||||||
18 | the mortgagee in
possession. If the residential real estate | ||||||
19 | consists of more than one dwelling
unit, then for the | ||||||
20 | purpose of this Part residential real estate shall mean | ||||||
21 | only
that dwelling unit or units occupied by persons | ||||||
22 | described in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) of Section | ||||||
23 | 15-1219.
| ||||||
24 | (2) In all other cases, if (i) the mortgagee is so | ||||||
25 | authorized by the
terms of the mortgage or other written | ||||||
26 | instrument, and (ii) the court is
satisfied that there is a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonable probability that the mortgagee will
prevail on a | ||||||
2 | final hearing of the cause, the mortgagee shall
upon | ||||||
3 | request be placed in possession of the real estate, except | ||||||
4 | that if the
mortgagor shall object and show good cause, the | ||||||
5 | court shall allow the
mortgagor to remain in possession.
| ||||||
6 | (c) Judgment Through 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. After | ||||||
7 | the entry
of a judgment of foreclosure and through the 30th day | ||||||
8 | after a foreclosure
sale is confirmed:
| ||||||
9 | (1) Subsection (b) of Section 15-1701 shall be | ||||||
10 | applicable, regardless of
the provisions of the mortgage or | ||||||
11 | other instrument, except that after a
sale pursuant to the | ||||||
12 | judgment the holder of the certificate of sale
(or, if | ||||||
13 | none, the purchaser at the sale) shall have the mortgagee's | ||||||
14 | right to be
placed in possession, with all rights and | ||||||
15 | duties of a mortgagee in possession
under this Article.
| ||||||
16 | (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subsection (b) | ||||||
17 | and paragraph (1) of
subsection (c) of Section 15-1701, | ||||||
18 | upon request of the mortgagee, a mortgagor
of residential | ||||||
19 | real estate shall not be allowed to remain in possession | ||||||
20 | between
the expiration of the redemption period and through | ||||||
21 | the 30th day after sale
confirmation unless (i) the | ||||||
22 | mortgagor pays to the mortgagee or such holder or
| ||||||
23 | purchaser, whichever is applicable, monthly the lesser of | ||||||
24 | the interest due
under the mortgage calculated at the | ||||||
25 | mortgage rate of interest applicable as if
no default had | ||||||
26 | occurred or the fair rental value of the real estate, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii)
the mortgagor otherwise shows good cause. Any amounts | ||||||
2 | paid by the mortgagor
pursuant to this subsection shall be | ||||||
3 | credited against the amounts due from the
mortgagor.
| ||||||
4 | (d) After 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. The holder of
| ||||||
5 | the certificate of sale or deed issued pursuant to that | ||||||
6 | certificate or, if
no certificate or deed was issued, the | ||||||
7 | purchaser, except to the extent the
holder or purchaser may | ||||||
8 | consent otherwise, shall be entitled to possession of
the | ||||||
9 | mortgaged real estate, as of the date 30 days after the order | ||||||
10 | confirming
the sale is entered, against those parties to the | ||||||
11 | foreclosure whose interests
the court has ordered terminated, | ||||||
12 | without further notice to any party, further
order of the | ||||||
13 | court, or resort to proceedings under any other statute other | ||||||
14 | than
this Article.
This right to possession shall be limited by | ||||||
15 | the provisions
governing entering and enforcing orders of | ||||||
16 | possession under subsection (g) of
Section
15-1508.
If the | ||||||
17 | holder or purchaser determines that there are occupants
of the | ||||||
18 | mortgaged real estate who have not been made parties to the | ||||||
19 | foreclosure
and had their interests terminated therein, the | ||||||
20 | holder or purchaser may bring a
proceeding under subsection (h) | ||||||
21 | of this Section or under Article 9 of this Code
to terminate | ||||||
22 | the rights of possession of any such occupants. The holder or
| ||||||
23 | purchaser shall not be entitled to proceed against any such | ||||||
24 | occupant under
Article 9 of this Code until after 30 days after | ||||||
25 | the order confirming the sale
is entered.
| ||||||
26 | (e) Termination of Leases. A lease of all or any part of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the mortgaged
real estate shall not be terminated automatically | ||||||
2 | solely by virtue of the entry
into possession by (i) a | ||||||
3 | mortgagee or receiver prior to the entry of an order
confirming | ||||||
4 | the sale, (ii) the holder of the certificate of sale, (iii) the
| ||||||
5 | holder of the deed issued pursuant to that certificate, or (iv) | ||||||
6 | if no
certificate or deed was issued, the purchaser at the | ||||||
7 | sale.
| ||||||
8 | (f) Other Statutes; Instruments. The provisions of this | ||||||
9 | Article
providing for possession of mortgaged real estate shall | ||||||
10 | supersede any other
inconsistent statutory provisions. In | ||||||
11 | particular, and without limitation,
whenever a receiver is | ||||||
12 | sought to be appointed in any action in which a
foreclosure is | ||||||
13 | also pending, a receiver shall be appointed only in
accordance | ||||||
14 | with this Article. Except as may be authorized by this Article,
| ||||||
15 | no mortgage or other instrument may modify or supersede the | ||||||
16 | provisions of this
Article.
| ||||||
17 | (g) Certain Leases. Leases of the mortgaged real estate | ||||||
18 | entered into by
a mortgagee in possession or a receiver and | ||||||
19 | approved by the court in a
foreclosure shall be binding on all | ||||||
20 | parties, including the mortgagor after
redemption, the | ||||||
21 | purchaser at a sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure
and | ||||||
22 | any person acquiring an interest in the mortgaged real estate | ||||||
23 | after
entry of a judgment of foreclosure in accordance with | ||||||
24 | Sections 15-1402 and
15-1403.
| ||||||
25 | (h) Proceedings Against Certain Occupants.
| ||||||
26 | (1) The mortgagee-in-possession of the mortgaged real |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | estate under Section
15-1703, a receiver appointed under | ||||||
2 | Section 15-1704, a holder of the
certificate of sale or | ||||||
3 | deed, or the purchaser may, at any time during the
pendency | ||||||
4 | of the foreclosure and up to 90 days after the date of the | ||||||
5 | order
confirming the sale,
file a supplemental petition for | ||||||
6 | possession against a person not personally
named as a party
| ||||||
7 | to the foreclosure. The supplemental petition for | ||||||
8 | possession shall name each such
occupant against whom | ||||||
9 | possession is sought and state the facts upon which the
| ||||||
10 | claim for relief is premised.
| ||||||
11 | (2) The petitioner shall serve upon each named occupant | ||||||
12 | the petition,
a notice of hearing on the petition, and, if | ||||||
13 | any, a copy of the certificate of
sale or deed. The | ||||||
14 | proceeding for the termination of such occupant's | ||||||
15 | possessory
interest, including service of the notice of the | ||||||
16 | hearing and the petition,
shall in all respects comport | ||||||
17 | with the requirements of Article 9 of this Code,
except as | ||||||
18 | otherwise specified in this Section. The hearing shall be | ||||||
19 | no less
than 21 days from the date of service of the | ||||||
20 | notice.
| ||||||
21 | (3) The supplemental petition shall be heard as part of | ||||||
22 | the foreclosure
proceeding and without the payment of | ||||||
23 | additional filing fees. An order for
possession obtained | ||||||
24 | under this Section shall name each occupant whose interest
| ||||||
25 | has been terminated, shall recite that it is only effective | ||||||
26 | as to the occupant
so named and those holding under them, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and shall be enforceable for no more
than 120 days after | ||||||
2 | its entry, except that the 120-day period may be extended | ||||||
3 | to
the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9-117 | ||||||
4 | of Article 9 and except as provided in item (4) of this | ||||||
5 | subsection (h). | ||||||
6 | (4) In a case of foreclosure where the occupant is | ||||||
7 | current on his or her rent, or where timely written notice | ||||||
8 | of to whom and where the rent is to be paid has not been | ||||||
9 | provided to the occupant, or where the occupant has made | ||||||
10 | good-faith efforts to make rental payments in order to keep | ||||||
11 | current, any order of possession must allow the occupant to | ||||||
12 | retain possession of the property covered in his or her | ||||||
13 | rental agreement (i) for 120 days following the notice of | ||||||
14 | the hearing on the supplemental petition that has been | ||||||
15 | properly served upon the occupant, or (ii) through the | ||||||
16 | duration of his or her lease, whichever is shorter, | ||||||
17 | provided that if the duration of his or her lease is less | ||||||
18 | than 30 days from the date of the order, the order shall | ||||||
19 | allow the occupant to retain possession for 30 days from | ||||||
20 | the date of the order. A mortgagee in possession, receiver, | ||||||
21 | holder of a certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser at | ||||||
22 | the judicial sale, who asserts that the occupant is not | ||||||
23 | current in rent, shall file an affidavit to that effect in | ||||||
24 | the supplemental petition proceeding. If the occupant has | ||||||
25 | been given timely written notice of to whom and where the | ||||||
26 | rent is to be paid, this item (4) shall only apply if the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | occupant continues to pay his or her rent in full during | ||||||
2 | the 120-day period or has made good-faith efforts to pay | ||||||
3 | the rent in full during that period.
No | ||||||
4 | mortgagee-in-possession, receiver or holder of a | ||||||
5 | certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser who fails to file | ||||||
6 | a supplemental petition under this subsection during the | ||||||
7 | pendency of a mortgage foreclosure shall file a forcible | ||||||
8 | entry and detainer action against an occupant of the | ||||||
9 | mortgaged real estate until 90 days after a notice of | ||||||
10 | intent to file such action has been properly served upon | ||||||
11 | the occupant. | ||||||
12 | (5) The court records relating to a supplemental | ||||||
13 | petition for possession filed under this subsection (h) | ||||||
14 | against an occupant who is entitled to notice under item | ||||||
15 | (4) of this subsection (h), or relating to a forcible entry | ||||||
16 | and detainer action brought against an occupant who would | ||||||
17 | have lawful possession of the premises but for the | ||||||
18 | foreclosure of a mortgage on the property, shall be ordered | ||||||
19 | sealed and shall not be disclosed to any person, other than | ||||||
20 | a law enforcement officer or any other representative of a | ||||||
21 | governmental entity, except upon further order of the | ||||||
22 | court.

| ||||||
21 | Sec. 13-3.1. (a) Compensation of public guardian. ) | ||||||
22 | (a) In counties having a population
in excess of 1,000,000 | ||||||
23 | the public guardian shall be paid an annual salary,
to be set | ||||||
24 | by the County Board at a figure not to exceed the salary of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | public defender for the county. All expenses connected with the | ||||||
2 | operation
of the office shall be subject to the approval of the | ||||||
3 | County Board and shall

6 | the public guardian shall receive all the fees of his office | ||||||
7 | and bear the expenses connected with the operation of the | ||||||
8 | office. A public guardian shall be entitled to reasonable and | ||||||
9 | appropriate compensation for services related to guardianship | ||||||
10 | duties but all fees must be reviewed and approved by the court. | ||||||
11 | A public guardian may petition the court for the payment of | ||||||
12 | reasonable and appropriate fees. In counties having a | ||||||
13 | population of 1,000,000 or less, the public guardian shall do | ||||||
14 | so on not less than a yearly basis, or sooner as approved by | ||||||
15 | the court. Any fees or expenses charged by a public guardian | ||||||
16 | shall be documented through billings and maintained by the | ||||||
17 | guardian and supplied to the court for review. In considering | ||||||
18 | the reasonableness of any fee petition brought by a public | ||||||
19 | guardian under this Section, the court shall consider the | ||||||
20 | following: | ||||||
21 | (1) the powers and duties assigned to the public | ||||||
22 | guardian by the court; | ||||||
23 | (2) the necessity of any services provided; | ||||||
24 | (3) the time required, the degree of difficulty, and | ||||||
25 | the experience needed to complete the task; | ||||||
26 | (4) the needs of the ward and the costs of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alternatives; and | ||||||
2 | (5) other facts and circumstances material to the best | ||||||
3 | interests of the ward or his or her estate. | ||||||
4 | (c) When the public guardian is appointed as the temporary | ||||||
5 | guardian of a disabled adult pursuant to an emergency petition | ||||||
6 | under circumstances when the court finds that the immediate | ||||||
7 | establishment of a temporary guardianship is necessary to | ||||||
8 | protect the disabled adult's health, welfare, or estate, the | ||||||
9 | public guardian shall be entitled to reasonable and appropriate | ||||||
10 | fees, as determined by the court, for the period of the | ||||||
11 | temporary guardianship, including fees directly associated | ||||||
12 | with establishing the temporary guardianship. | ||||||

14 | Section 645. The Health Care Surrogate Act is amended by | ||||||
15 | changing Section 15 as follows:
| ||||||
16 | (755 ILCS 40/15) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 851-15)
| ||||||
17 | Sec. 15. Applicability. This Act applies to patients who | ||||||
18 | lack
decisional capacity
or who have a qualifying condition. | ||||||
19 | This Act does not
apply to instances in which the patient has | ||||||
20 | an operative and unrevoked
living will under the Illinois | ||||||
21 | Living Will Act, an operative and unrevoked
declaration for | ||||||
22 | mental health treatment under the Mental Health Treatment
| ||||||
23 | Preferences Declaration Act, or an authorized agent under
a | ||||||
24 | power of attorney for health care under the Illinois Power of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Attorney
Act and the patient's condition falls within the | ||||||
2 | coverage of the living
will, the declaration for mental health | ||||||
3 | treatment, or the power of attorney
for health care. In those | ||||||
4 | instances, the
living will, declaration for mental health | ||||||
5 | treatment, or power of
attorney for health care, as the case | ||||||
6 | may be, shall
be given effect according to its terms. This Act | ||||||
7 | does apply in
circumstances in which a patient has a qualifying | ||||||
8 | condition but the
patient's condition does not fall within the | ||||||
9 | coverage of the living will, the
declaration for mental health | ||||||
10 | treatment, or
the power of attorney for health care.
| ||||||
11 | Each health care facility shall maintain any advance
| ||||||
12 | directives proffered by the patient or other authorized person,
| ||||||
13 | including a do not resuscitate order, a living will, a | ||||||
14 | declaration for mental
health treatment, a declaration of a | ||||||
15 | potential surrogate or surrogates should the person become | ||||||
16 | incapacitated or impaired, or a
power of attorney for health | ||||||
17 | care, in the patient's medical records. This Act does apply to | ||||||
18 | patients without
a qualifying condition. If a patient is an | ||||||
19 | adult with
decisional
capacity, then the right to refuse | ||||||
20 | medical treatment
or life-sustaining
treatment does
not | ||||||
21 | require the presence of a qualifying condition.

18 | provided, that such
limits shall not be applicable to | ||||||
19 | expenditures for repair, replacement, or
restoration of | ||||||

9 | of the annual budget, the board of managers, upon written | ||||||
10 | petition
by unit owners with 20% of the votes of the | ||||||

9 | organization, and further state that: | ||||||
10 | (1) no significant purpose of the company is the | ||||||
11 | production of income or the appreciation of property; | ||||||
12 | however, the fact that a person produces significant income | ||||||
13 | or capital appreciation shall not, in the absence of other | ||||||
14 | factors, be conclusive evidence of a significant purpose | ||||||
15 | involving the production of income or the appreciation of | ||||||
16 | property; and | ||||||
17 | (2) no purpose of the company is to accomplish one or | ||||||
18 | more political or legislative purposes within the meaning | ||||||

22 | this Section 1-26 continues to exist as a limited liability | ||||||
23 | company and shall promptly amend its articles of organization | ||||||
24 | so that its name and purpose no longer identify it as a | ||||||
25 | low-profit limited liability company or L3C. | ||||||
26 | (d) Any company operating or holding itself out as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | low-profit limited liability company in Illinois, any company | ||||||
2 | formed as a low-profit limited liability company under this | ||||||
3 | Act, and any chief operating officer, director, or manager of | ||||||
4 | any such company is a "trustee" as defined in Section 3 of the
| ||||||
5 | Charitable Trust Act. | ||||||
6 | (e) Nothing in this Section 1-26 prevents a limited | ||||||

19 | operate, or maintain an establishment for any of the purposes | ||||||
20 | for which a limited liability company may be organized under | ||||||

3 | If the Department finds that the organizers, managers, and | ||||||
4 | members are each licensed pursuant to the laws of Illinois to | ||||||
5 | engage in the particular profession or related professions | ||||||
6 | involved (except that an initial organizer may be a licensed | ||||||
7 | attorney) and if no disciplinary action is pending before the | ||||||
8 | Department against any of them and if it appears that the | ||||||
9 | limited liability company will be conducted in compliance with | ||||||
10 | the law and the rules and regulations of the Department, the | ||||||
11 | Department shall issue, upon payment of a registration fee of | ||||||
12 | $50, a certificate of registration. | ||||||
13 | Upon written application of the holder, the Department | ||||||
14 | shall renew the certificate if it finds that the limited | ||||||
15 | liability company has complied with its regulations and the | ||||||
16 | provisions of this Act and the applicable licensing Act. This | ||||||

The certificate of | ||||||
19 | registration shall be conspicuously posted upon the premises to | ||||||

22 | in the articles of organization, or as changed by amendment of | ||||||
23 | such articles. A certificate of registration shall not be | ||||||

16 | by changing Section 5 as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (815 ILCS 720/5) (from Ch. 43, par. 305)
| ||||||
18 | Sec. 5. Prohibited conduct. No brewer shall:
| ||||||
19 | (1) Induce or coerce, or attempt to induce or coerce, | ||||||
20 | any wholesaler to
engage in any illegal act or
course of | ||||||
21 | conduct either by threatening to
amend, modify, cancel, | ||||||
22 | terminate, or refuse to renew any agreement existing
| ||||||
23 | between the brewer and the wholesaler, or by any other | ||||||
24 | means.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) Require a wholesaler to assent to any unreasonable | ||||||
2 | requirement,
condition, understanding or term or an | ||||||
3 | agreement prohibiting a wholesaler
from selling the | ||||||
4 | product of any other brewer or brewers.
| ||||||
5 | (3) Directly or indirectly fix or maintain
the price at | ||||||
6 | which a wholesaler may resell beer.

11 | (5) Require any wholesaler to accept delivery of any | ||||||
12 | beer, signs,

14 | require
any wholesaler to accept a common carrier for | ||||||
15 | delivery of beer into this State
unless the wholesaler | ||||||
16 | consents to the common carrier. In the event
a brewer | ||||||
17 | adopts a uniform practice of delivering beer into this | ||||||
18 | State to the
premises of all licensed wholesalers, the | ||||||
19 | brewer may select the common carrier
in this State.
| ||||||
20 | (6) Require a wholesaler without the wholesaler's | ||||||

authority. Nothing herein shall | ||||||
4 | prohibit the brewer from having the first
right to purchase | ||||||

not | ||||||
6 | to exceed the original cost of the product or to | ||||||
7 | subsequently
repurchase the product from the insurance | ||||||
8 | company or salvage company.
| ||||||
9 | (8) Refuse to approve or require a wholesaler to | ||||||
10 | terminate a manager
or successor manager without good | ||||||
11 | cause. A brewer has good cause only if

12 | designated as manager or successor manager by the | ||||||
13 | wholesaler
fails to meet reasonable standards and | ||||||
14 | qualifications.
| ||||||
15 | (9) Present an agreement to a wholesaler that attempts | ||||||
16 | to waive
compliance with any provision of this Act or that | ||||||
17 | requires the wholesaler to
waive compliance with any | ||||||
18 | provision of this Act.
A wholesaler entering into an | ||||||
19 | agreement containing provisions in conflict with this Act | ||||||
20 | shall not be deemed to waive compliance with any provision | ||||||
21 | of this Act. No brewer shall induce or coerce, or attempt | ||||||
22 | to induce or coerce, any
wholesaler to assent to any | ||||||
23 | agreement, amendment, renewal, or replacement
agreement | ||||||
24 | that does not comply with this Act and
the laws of this | ||||||

3 | (11) Discriminate against a wholesaler who has entered | ||||||
4 | into a contract
relative to signs or advertising materials | ||||||
5 | by not making signs or advertising
materials or any | ||||||
6 | quantity or types thereof available to the wholesaler when | ||||||
7 | the
brewer makes available such signs or advertising | ||||||
8 | materials to other similarly
situated wholesalers in this | ||||||
9 | State.
| ||||||
10 | (12) Present an agreement requiring the wholesaler to | ||||||
11 | arbitrate all
disputes without offering the wholesaler in | ||||||
12 | writing the opportunity to reject
arbitration and elect to | ||||||
13 | resolve all disputes by maintaining a civil suit in
| ||||||
14 | accordance with this Act.
| ||||||
15 | (13) Fail to assign brand extensions to a wholesaler | ||||||
16 | who has been granted the territory to the brand from which | ||||||
17 | the brand extension resulted and agrees to accept the brand | ||||||
18 | extension; however, this requirement does not apply if the | ||||||

20 | time the brewer offers the brand extension to the | ||||||
21 | wholesaler.
| ||||||
22 | (14) Terminate, cancel, or non-renew or attempt to | ||||||
23 | terminate, cancel, or non-renew an agreement on the basis | ||||||
24 | that the wholesaler fails to agree or consent to an | ||||||
25 | amendment at the time such amendment is presented to the | ||||||
26 | wholesaler. A brewer may amend an agreement including |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operating standards at any time without the wholesaler's | ||||||
2 | consent if such amendment does not materially, | ||||||
3 | substantially, and adversely affect the wholesaler and | ||||||
4 | such amendment is effective as to all wholesalers of the | ||||||
5 | brewer in the State. | ||||||
6 | (15) Coerce or attempt to coerce a transferring | ||||||
7 | wholesaler to sign a renewal agreement, replacement | ||||||
8 | agreement, or an amendment to an agreement by threatening | ||||||
9 | to refuse to approve or delay issuing an approval for the | ||||||
10 | sale or transfer of a wholesaler's business. | ||||||
11 | The agreement must provide in substance that the agreement | ||||||
12 | shall be governed by all applicable provisions of State law, | ||||||
13 | and that such State law is incorporated into the agreement, | ||||||
14 | shall be deemed to be a part thereof, and shall supersede | ||||||
15 | supercede any provision of the agreement in conflict with such | ||||||
16 | State law. If an agreement presented to the wholesaler does not | ||||||
17 | provide this provision in substance the brewer must furnish an | ||||||
18 | executed Illinois addendum to the wholesaler stating that the | ||||||
19 | agreement shall be governed by all applicable provisions of | ||||||
20 | State law, and that such State law is incorporated into the | ||||||
21 | agreement, shall be deemed to be a part hereof, shall supersede | ||||||
22 | supercede any provision of the agreement in conflict with such | ||||||
23 | State law, and shall govern and control. | ||||||
24 | No brewer who, pursuant to an agreement with a wholesaler | ||||||
25 | which does not
violate antitrust laws, has designated a sales | ||||||
26 | territory for which the
wholesaler is exclusively responsible |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or in which the wholesaler is required
to concentrate its | ||||||
2 | efforts, shall enter into an agreement with any other
| ||||||
3 | wholesaler for the purpose of establishing an additional | ||||||
4 | wholesaler for the
brewer's brand, brands, or brand extension | ||||||
5 | in the territory.
| ||||||
6 | No wholesaler who, pursuant to an agreement is granted a | ||||||
7 | sales territory
for which it shall be exclusively responsible | ||||||
8 | or in which it is required to
concentrate its efforts, shall | ||||||
9 | make any sale or delivery of beer to any
retail licensee whose | ||||||
10 | place of business is not within the territory granted
to the | ||||||
11 | wholesaler.

Employment Eligibility Verification System to access | ||||||
