26    securities of that entity. As used in  this  subsection  (a),
27    the  term "voting security" means a security that (1) confers

11    and interest shown therein, or has failed to  pay  any  final
12    assessment of tax, penalty or interest due under this Act. An
13    assessment  is final when all proceedings in court for review
14    of such assessment have terminated or the time for the taking
15    thereof  has   expired   without   such   proceedings   being
16    instituted.   For  taxable  years ending on or after December
17    31, 1987, the Director may make available to the Director  or

16    Director from divulging information to any person pursuant to
17    a request or  authorization  made  by  the  taxpayer,  by  an
18    authorized representative of the taxpayer, or, in the case of
19    information  related  to a joint return, by the spouse filing
20    the joint return with the taxpayer.

29    also may take  into  consideration  whether  a  bidder  is  a
30    private  enterprise  or  a  State-controlled  enterprise and,
31    notwithstanding any other provision  of  this  Section  or  a
32    lower  bid  by  a  State-controlled  enterprise,  may  let  a
 
                            -22-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1    contract  to  the lowest responsible bidder that is a private
 2    enterprise.
 3        (c)  This Section does not apply to contracts by a county
 4    with  the  federal  government  or  to  purchases   of   used
 5    equipment, purchases at auction or similar transactions which
 6    by  their  very  nature are not suitable to competitive bids,
 7    pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the county board.
 8        (d)  Notwithstanding the provisions of  this  Section,  a
 9    county  may  let  without advertising for bids in the case of
10    purchases and contracts, when individual orders do not exceed
11    $25,000,  for  the  use,  purchase,  delivery,  movement,  or
12    installation  of  data  processing  equipment,  software,  or
13    services and telecommunications and inter-connect  equipment,

15        (e)  A county may require, as a condition of any contract
16    for goods and services, that persons awarded a contract  with
17    the county and all affiliates of the person collect and remit
18    Illinois  Use  Tax on all sales of tangible personal property
19    into the State of Illinois in accordance with the  provisions
20    of  the Illinois Use Tax Act regardless of whether the person
21    or affiliate is a "retailer maintaining a place  of  business
22    within  this  State"  as  defined in Section 2 of the Use Tax
23    Act.  For  purposes  of  this  subsection   (e),   the   term

25    or constructively controls another entity, (2)  is  directly,
26    indirectly,  or  constructively controlled by another entity,
27    or (3) is subject to the control  of  a  common  entity.  For
28    purposes  of  this subsection (e), an entity controls another
29    entity if it owns, directly or individually, more than 10% of
30    the voting  securities  of  that  entity.  As  used  in  this
31    subsection  (e),  the term "voting security" means a security
32    that (1) confers upon the holder the right to  vote  for  the
33    election  of  members  of  the  board of directors or similar
34    governing body of the business or (2) is convertible into, or
 
                            -23-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1    entitles the holder to receive upon its exercise, a  security
 2    that  confers  such  a  right  to vote. A general partnership
 3    interest is a voting security.
 4        (f) Bids submitted to, and  contracts  executed  by,  the
 5    county   may   require  a  certification  by  the  bidder  or
 6    contractor that the bidder or contractor is not  barred  from
 7    bidding  for  or  entering into a contract under this Section
 8    and that the  bidder  or  contractor  acknowledges  that  the
 9    county  may  declare  the  contract void if the certification
10    completed pursuant to this subsection (f) is false.

10    municipality, and the contractor may be subject to such other
11    penalties  or  the exercise of such remedies as may be stated
12    in the contract or the ordinance adopted under this  Section.
13    An   ordinance   adopted   under  this  Section  may  contain
14    exceptions for emergencies or other  circumstances  when  the
15    exception is in the best interest of the public. For purposes
16    of  this  Section, the term "affiliate" means any entity that

21    (b), an entity controls another entity if it owns,  directly,

23    that entity. As used in this subsection (b), the term "voting
24    security" means a security that (1) confers upon  the  holder
25    the right to vote for the election of members of the board of
26    directors or similar governing body of the business or (2) is

 5    competitive   bidding  after  advertisement,  to  the  lowest
 6    responsible bidder, or in the appropriate  instance,  to  the

11    Affairs Law of the Civil Administrative Code of  Illinois  is
12    amended  by  changing  Section  605-705 and by adding Section
13    605-807 as follows:

16    bureaus.
17        (a)  To  establish  a grant program for local tourism and
18    convention  bureaus.   The  Department   will   develop   and
19    implement a program for the use of funds, as authorized under
20    this  Act,  by local tourism and convention bureaus.  For the
21    purposes of this Act, bureaus eligible to receive  funds  are
22    those  local  tourism  and  convention  bureaus  that are (i)
23    either  units  of  local  government   or   incorporated   as
24    not-for-profit  organizations;  (ii) in legal existence for a
25    minimum of 2 years before July 1, 2001; (iii) operating  with
26    a  paid,  full-time  staff  whose  sole purpose is to promote
27    tourism in the designated service area; and  (iv)  affiliated
28    with  one or more municipalities or counties that support the
29    bureau with local hotel-motel taxes.   After  July  1,  2001,
30    bureaus  requesting  certification  in order to receive funds
31    for the first time  must  be  local  tourism  and  convention
32    bureaus  that  are  (i)  either  units of local government or
 
                            -31-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a

 4    whose  sole  purpose  is to promote tourism in the designated
 5    service   area;   and   (iv)   affiliated    with    multiple
 6    municipalities or counties that support the bureau with local
 7    hotel-motel taxes. Each bureau receiving funds under this Act
 8    will  be  certified  by  the  Department  as  the  designated
 9    recipient  to serve an area of the State. Notwithstanding the
10    criteria set forth  in  this  subsection  (a),  or  any  rule
11    adopted  under  this  subsection  (a),  the  Director  of the
12    Department may provide for the award of grant funds to one or
13    more entities if in the Department's judgment that action  is
14    necessary  in  order to prevent a loss of funding critical to

16    State.
17        (b)  To distribute grants to local tourism and convention
18    bureaus  from appropriations made from the Local Tourism Fund
19    for that purpose.  Of the amounts  appropriated  annually  to
20    the  Department for expenditure under this Section, one-third
21    of those monies shall be used for grants  to  convention  and
22    tourism  bureaus  in  cities  with  a population greater than
23    500,000.    The   remaining   two-thirds   of   the    annual

13        (30 ILCS 105/8j new)
14        Sec.  8j.   Allocation  and  transfer  of fee receipts to
15    General Revenue Fund.  If and only if  any  one  or  more  of
16    Senate  Bills  774,  841,  842,  and 1903 of the 93rd General
17    Assembly become law, notwithstanding any  other  law  to  the
18    contrary,   additional  amounts  generated  by  the  new  and
19    increased fees created or authorized by these amendatory Acts
20    of the 93rd General Assembly shall be allocated  between  the
21    fund  otherwise  entitled  to receive the fee and the General
22    Revenue Fund by the Bureau of the Budget.  In determining the
23    amount of the allocation to the  General  Revenue  Fund,  the
24    Director  of the Bureau of the Budget shall calculate whether
25    the available resources in the fund are sufficient to satisfy
26    the unexpended and unreserved appropriations  from  the  fund
27    for the fiscal year.
28        In  calculating  the  available  resources in a fund, the
29    Director of the Bureau of the Budget  may  include  receipts,
30    transfers  into  the fund, and other resources anticipated to
31    be available in the fund in that fiscal year.
32        Upon determining the  amount  of  an  allocation  to  the
33    General  Revenue Fund under this Section, the Director of the
 
                            -53-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1    Bureau of the Budget  may  direct  the  State  Treasurer  and
 2    Comptroller  to  transfer  the amount of that allocation from
 3    the fund in which the fee amounts have been deposited to  the
 4    General  Revenue  Fund;  provided, however, that the Director
 5    shall not direct the transfer of any amount that  would  have
 6    the effect of reducing the available resources in the fund to
 7    an  amount  less  than  the  amount  remaining unexpended and
 8    unreserved from the total appropriation from  that  fund  for
 9    that fiscal year.
10        The  State  Treasurer  and Comptroller shall transfer the
11    amounts designated under this  Section  as  soon  as  may  be
12    practicable  after  receiving  the direction to transfer from
13    the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.

14        Section 50-20.  The Pretrial Services Act is  amended  by
15    changing Section 33 as follows:

16        (725 ILCS 185/33) (from Ch. 38, par. 333)
17        Sec.   33.   The  Supreme  Court  shall  pay  from  funds
18    appropriated to it for this  purpose  100%  of  all  approved
19    costs  for  pretrial  services,  including  pretrial services
20    officers,   necessary   support   personnel,   travel   costs
21    reasonably related to  the  delivery  of  pretrial  services,

26    which exceed or are not provided for in the approved plan and
27    budget.  For  State  fiscal  year  2004  only,  the Mandatory
28    Arbitration Fund may be used to reimburse approved costs  for
29    pretrial services.

 7        (b)  The Chief Judge of each circuit  shall  appoint  the
 8    Chief  Probation Officer and all other probation officers for
 9    his  or  her  circuit  from  lists  of  qualified  applicants
10    supplied by the Supreme Court. Candidates for chief  managing
11    officer and other probation officer positions must apply with
12    both the Chief Judge of the circuit and the Supreme Court.
13        (3)  A Probation and Court Service Department shall apply
14    to  the  Supreme  Court for funds for basic services, and may
15    apply  for  funds  for   new   and   expanded   programs   or
16    Individualized   Services   and   Programs.  Costs  shall  be

18    Supreme Court. No Department  may  be  reimbursed  for  costs
19    which  exceed  or are not provided for in the approved annual
20    plan and budget. After the effective date of this  amendatory
21    Act  of  1985,  each  county  must  provide basic services in
22    accordance with the annual plan and standards created by  the
23    division. No department may receive funds for new or expanded
24    programs  or individualized services and programs unless they
25    are in compliance with standards as enumerated  in  paragraph
26    (h)  of  subsection (1) of this Section, the annual plan, and
27    standards for basic services.
28        (4)  The Division shall reimburse the county or  counties
29    for probation services as follows:
30             (a)  100%  of  the  salary  of  all  chief  managing
31        officers  designated  as  such by the Chief Judge and the
32        division.
33             (b)  100% of the salary for  all  probation  officer
34        and  supervisor  positions  approved for reimbursement by
 
                            -57-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1        the division  after  April  1,  1984,  to  meet  workload
 2        standards   and   to  implement  intensive  sanction  and
 3        probation supervision programs and other  basic  services
 4        as defined in this Act.
 5             (c)  100%  of  the  salary  for all secure detention
 6        personnel and non-secure group  home  personnel  approved
 7        for  reimbursement  after  December 1, 1990. For all such
 8        positions approved for reimbursement before  December  1,
 9        1990,  the  counties shall be reimbursed $1,250 per month
10        beginning July 1, 1995, and an additional $250 per  month
11        beginning  each  July  1st thereafter until the positions
12        receive 100% salary  reimbursement.  Allocation  of  such
13        positions  will  be based on comparative need considering
14        capacity,  staff/resident  ratio,  physical   plant   and
15        program.
16             (d)  $1,000 per month for salaries for the remaining
17        probation officer positions engaged in basic services and
18        new  or  expanded  services.  All such positions shall be
19        approved by the division in accordance with this Act  and
20        division standards.
21             (e)  100%  of the travel expenses in accordance with
22        Division standards for all Probation  positions  approved
23        under paragraph (b) of subsection 4 of this Section.
24             (f)  If the amount of funds reimbursed to the county
25        under  paragraphs (a) through (e) of subsection 4 of this
26        Section on an annual basis is less than  the  amount  the
27        county   had   received   during   the  12  month  period
28        immediately  prior  to  the  effective   date   of   this
29        amendatory Act of 1985, then the Division shall reimburse
30        the amount of the difference to the county. The effect of
31        paragraph  (b)  of  subsection 7 of this Section shall be
32        considered    in    implementing    this     supplemental
33        reimbursement provision.
34        (5)  The  Division shall provide funds beginning on April
 
                            -58-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1    1, 1987 for the counties to provide  Individualized  Services
 2    and Programs as provided in Section 16 of this Act.
 3        (6)  A  Probation  and Court Services Department in order
 4    to be eligible for  the  reimbursement  must  submit  to  the
 5    Supreme  Court an application containing such information and
 6    in such a form and by such dates as  the  Supreme  Court  may
 7    require.  Departments to be eligible for funding must satisfy
 8    the following conditions:
 9             (a)  The Department shall  have  on  file  with  the
10        Supreme  Court  an  annual Probation plan for continuing,
11        improved, and new Probation and Court  Services  Programs
12        approved  by the Supreme Court or its designee. This plan
13        shall indicate the manner in which  Probation  and  Court
14        Services  will be delivered and improved, consistent with
15        the minimum standards and regulations for  Probation  and
16        Court  Services,  as established by the Supreme Court. In
17        counties with more than one Probation and Court  Services
18        Department  eligible  to  receive  funds, all Departments
19        within that county must submit plans which  are  approved
20        by the Supreme Court.
21             (b)  The   annual   probation  plan  shall  seek  to
22        generally improve the quality of probation  services  and
23        to  reduce the commitment of adult and juvenile offenders
24        to the Department of Corrections and shall require,  when
25        appropriate,   coordination   with   the   Department  of
26        Corrections and the Department  of  Children  and  Family
27        Services   in   the  development  and  use  of  community
28        resources,   information   systems,   case   review   and
29        permanency planning systems to avoid the  duplication  of
30        services.
31             (c)  The  Department  shall  be  in  compliance with
32        standards developed by the Supreme Court for  basic,  new
33        and  expanded  services,  training,  personnel hiring and
34        promotion.

 1             (d)  The  Department  shall  in  its   annual   plan
 2        indicate  the  manner in which it will support the rights
 3        of crime victims and in which manner  it  will  implement
 4        Article  I,  Section 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and
 5        in what manner it will coordinate crime victims'  support
 6        services  with other criminal justice agencies within its
 7        jurisdiction, including but not limited to,  the  State's
 8        Attorney,   the   Sheriff   and   any   municipal  police
 9        department.
10        (7)  No statement shall be verified by the Supreme  Court
11    or  its  designee or vouchered by the Comptroller unless each
12    of the following conditions have been met:
13             (a)  The probation officer is a  full-time  employee
14        appointed   by  the  Chief  Judge  to  provide  probation
15        services.
16             (b)  The probation officer, in order to be  eligible
17        for  State  reimbursement,  is  receiving  a salary of at
18        least $17,000 per year.
19             (c)  The  probation  officer  is  appointed  or  was
20        reappointed in accordance with minimum qualifications  or
21        criteria  established  by the Supreme Court; however, all
22        probation officers appointed prior to  January  1,  1978,
23        shall   be   exempted   from   the  minimum  requirements
24        established by the Supreme Court. Payments shall be  made
25        to  counties  employing these exempted probation officers
26        as long as they are employed in the position held on  the
27        effective   date   of   this   amendatory  Act  of  1985.
28        Promotions shall be governed  by  minimum  qualifications
29        established by the Supreme Court.
30             (d)  The  Department has an established compensation
31        schedule approved by the Supreme Court. The  compensation
32        schedule  shall  include  salary  ranges  with  necessary
33        increments  to  compensate  each employee. The increments
34        shall, within the salary ranges, be based on such factors
 
                            -60-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1        as bona fide  occupational  qualifications,  performance,
 2        and  length  of  service. Each position in the Department
 3        shall be placed on the compensation schedule according to
 4        job duties and responsibilities  of  such  position.  The
 5        policy  and procedures of the compensation schedule shall
 6        be made available to each employee.
 7        (8)  In  order  to  obtain  full  reimbursement  of   all
 8    approved  costs,  each  Department must continue to employ at
 9    least the same number of  probation  officers  and  probation
10    managers  as  were  authorized  for employment for the fiscal
11    year which includes January 1, 1985.  This  number  shall  be
12    designated as the base amount of the Department. No positions
13    approved  by the Division under paragraph (b) of subsection 4
14    will be included in the base amount. In the  event  that  the
15    Department  employs  fewer  Probation  officers and Probation
16    managers than the base  amount  for  a  period  of  90  days,
17    funding received by the Department under subsection 4 of this
18    Section  may  be  reduced on a monthly basis by the amount of
19    the current salaries of any positions below the base amount.
20        (9)  Before the 15th day of each month, the treasurer  of
21    any   county   which  has  a  Probation  and  Court  Services
22    Department, or the treasurer of the most populous county,  in
23    the  case  of a Probation or Court Services Department funded
24    by more than one county, shall submit an  itemized  statement
25    of  all  approved  costs  incurred  in  the delivery of Basic
26    Probation and Court Services under this Act  to  the  Supreme
27    Court. The treasurer may also submit an itemized statement of
28    all  approved  costs  incurred  in  the  delivery  of new and
29    expanded  Probation   and   Court   Services   as   well   as
30    Individualized  Services  and  Programs. The Supreme Court or
31    its designee shall verify compliance with  this  Section  and
32    shall  examine  and  audit  the  monthly  statement and, upon
33    finding them  to  be  correct,  shall  forward  them  to  the
34    Comptroller  for payment to the county treasurer. In the case
 
                            -61-     LRB093 02818 SJM 17306 a
 1    of payment to a treasurer of  a  county  which  is  the  most
 2    populous  of  counties  sharing  the salary and expenses of a
 3    Probation and Court Services Department, the treasurer  shall
 4    divide  the  money  between  the  counties  in  a manner that
