    Section 3-5. Findings and intent. The General Assembly
finds that:
        (1) Public Act 102-662 places the State on a path
    toward 100% clean energy by 2050;
        (2) the transition to a carbon-free energy economy
    will have a significant economic, ecological, and
    sociological impact on the State's residents;
        (3) rigorous data collection and research are needed
    to help minimize job loss, maximize high-quality job
    creation and economic development, and facilitate just
    transitions, workforce development programs, and
    activities necessary to meet the increased labor demand in
    the State's clean-energy sector;
        (4) the State finds that an equitable transition to a
    clean-energy economy must be guided by applied research
    that provides detailed, nuanced information about the
    labor, employment, and broader social and economic impacts
    of decarbonizing the State's economy;
        (5) collecting and analyzing labor and employment data
    in the clean-energy sector is essential for creating a
    clean-energy economy that prioritizes local resources,
    improves resiliency, and promotes energy independence; and
        (6) the State has a strong interest in ensuring that
    State residents, especially those from environmental
    justice and historically underserved communities, have
    access to safe, well-paying, clean-energy jobs, supporting
    displaced energy workers in the transition to a
    clean-energy economy; and creating workforce development
    programs to meet the labor demand in the clean-energy
    industry.
    The General Assembly intends that, in order to promote
those interests in the State's growing clean-energy sector, a
Climate Jobs Institute should be created that will produce
high-quality data, research, and educational opportunities to
inform policymakers, industry partners, labor organizations,
and other relevant stakeholders in the development and
implementation of innovative and data-supported labor policies
for the emerging clean-energy economy.

    Sec. 605-705. Grants to local tourism and convention
bureaus.
    (a) To establish a grant program for local tourism and

this Act, bureaus eligible to receive funds are those local
tourism and convention bureaus that are (i) either units of
local government or incorporated as not-for-profit
organizations; (ii) in legal existence for a minimum of 2
years before July 1, 2001; (iii) operating with a paid,

receiving funds under this Act will be certified by the
Department as the designated recipient to serve an area of the
State. Notwithstanding the criteria set forth in this
subsection (a), or any rule adopted under this subsection (a),
the Director of the Department may provide for the award of
grant funds to one or more entities if in the Department's
judgment that action is necessary in order to prevent a loss of
funding critical to promoting tourism in a designated
geographic area of the State.
    (b) To distribute grants to local tourism and convention
bureaus from appropriations made from the Local Tourism Fund
for that purpose. Of the amounts appropriated annually to the
Department for expenditure under this Section prior to July 1,
2011, one-third of those monies shall be used for grants to
convention and tourism bureaus in cities with a population
greater than 500,000. The remaining two-thirds of the annual
appropriation prior to July 1, 2011 shall be used for grants to
convention and tourism bureaus in the remainder of the State,
in accordance with a formula based upon the population served.
Of the amounts appropriated annually to the Department for
expenditure under this Section beginning July 1, 2011, 18% of
such moneys shall be used for grants to convention and tourism
bureaus in cities with a population greater than 500,000. Of
the amounts appropriated annually to the Department for
expenditure under this Section beginning July 1, 2011, 82% of
such moneys shall be used for grants to convention bureaus in
the remainder of the State, in accordance with a formula based
upon the population served. The Department may reserve up to
3% of total local tourism funds available for costs of
administering the program to conduct audits of grants, to
provide incentive funds to those bureaus that will conduct
promotional activities designed to further the Department's
statewide advertising campaign, to fund special statewide
promotional activities, and to fund promotional activities
that support an increased use of the State's parks or historic
sites. The Department shall require that any convention and
tourism bureau receiving a grant under this Section that
requires matching funds shall provide matching funds equal to
no less than 50% of the grant amount except that in Fiscal
Years 2021 through 2023 and 2022 only, the Department shall
require that any convention and tourism bureau receiving a
grant under this Section that requires matching funds shall
provide matching funds equal to no less than 25% of the grant
amount. During fiscal year 2013, the Department shall reserve
$2,000,000 of the available local tourism funds for
appropriation to the Historic Preservation Agency for the
operation of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and
Museum and State historic sites.
    To provide for the expeditious and timely implementation
of the changes made by Public Act 101-636 this amendatory Act

the changes made by Public Act 101-636 this amendatory Act of

off or furloughed, and hotels lost $3,600,000,000 in economic
activity. Unlike other segments of the hospitality industry,

accordance with the ARPA legislation and other State and
federal law. Upon receipt or availability of such State or
federal funds, and subject to appropriations for their use,
the Department shall establish the Hotel Jobs Recovery Grant
Program for the purpose of providing direct relief to hotels
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on an application
filed by the hotel operator, the Department shall award a
one-time grant in an amount of up to $1,500 for each room in
the hotel. Every hotel in operation in the state prior to March
12, 2020 that remains in operation shall be eligible to apply
for the grant. Grant awards shall be scaled based on a process
determined by the Department, including reducing the grant
amount by previous state and local relief provided to the
business during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    (d) Any operator who receives grant funds under this
Section shall use a minimum of 80% of the funds on payroll
costs, to the extent permitted by Section 9901 of ARPA,
including, but not limited to, wages, benefits, and employer
contributions to employee healthcare costs. The remaining
funds shall be used on any other costs and losses permitted by
ARPA.

this Section, the operator shall submit a written attestation
to the Department acknowledging compliance with subsection
(d).

    Section 5-25. The Illinois Lottery Law is amended by
changing Sections 2, 7.12, and 9.1 and by adding Sections 9.2
and 9.3 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 1605/2)  (from Ch. 120, par. 1152)
    Sec. 2. This Act is enacted to implement and establish
within the State a lottery to be conducted by the State through
the Department. The entire net proceeds of the Lottery are to
be used for the support of the State's Common School Fund,
except as otherwise provided in this Act subsection (o) of
Section 9.1 and Sections 21.5, 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, 21.10,
21.11, 21.12, and 21.13. The General Assembly finds that it is
in the public interest for the Department to conduct the
functions of the Lottery with the assistance of a private
manager under a management agreement overseen by the
Department. The Department shall be accountable to the General
Assembly and the people of the State through a comprehensive
system of regulation, audits, reports, and enduring
operational oversight. The Department's ongoing conduct of the
Lottery through a management agreement with a private manager
shall act to promote and ensure the integrity, security,
honesty, and fairness of the Lottery's operation and
administration. It is the intent of the General Assembly that
the Department shall conduct the Lottery with the assistance
of a private manager under a management agreement at all times
in a manner consistent with 18 U.S.C. 1307(a)(1), 1307(b)(1),
1953(b)(4).
    Beginning with Fiscal Year 2018 and every year thereafter,
any moneys transferred from the State Lottery Fund to the
Common School Fund shall be supplemental to, and not in lieu
of, any other money due to be transferred to the Common School
Fund by law or appropriation.

    (20 ILCS 1605/7.12)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2022)
    Sec. 7.12. Internet program.
    (a) The General Assembly finds that:
        (1) the consumer market in Illinois has changed since
    the creation of the Illinois State Lottery in 1974;
        (2) the Internet has become an integral part of
    everyday life for a significant number of Illinois
    residents not only in regards to their professional life,
    but also in regards to personal business and
    communication; and
        (3) the current practices of selling lottery tickets
    does not appeal to the new form of market participants who
    prefer to make purchases on the Internet at their own
    convenience.
    It is the intent of the General Assembly to create an
Internet program for the sale of lottery tickets to capture
this new form of market participant.
    (b) The Department shall create a program that allows an
individual 18 years of age or older to purchase lottery
tickets or shares on the Internet without using a Lottery
retailer with on-line status, as those terms are defined by
rule. The Department shall restrict the sale of lottery
tickets on the Internet to transactions initiated and received
or otherwise made exclusively within the State of Illinois.
The Department shall adopt rules necessary for the
administration of this program. These rules shall include,
among other things, requirements for marketing of the Lottery
to infrequent players, as well as limitations on the purchases
that may be made through any one individual's lottery account.
The provisions of this Act and the rules adopted under this Act
shall apply to the sale of lottery tickets or shares under this
program.
    The Department is obligated to implement the program set
forth in this Section and Sections 7.15 and 7.16. The
Department may offer Lotto, Lucky Day Lotto, Mega Millions,
Powerball, Pick 3, Pick 4, and other draw games that are
offered at retail locations through the Internet program. The
private manager shall obtain the Director's approval before
providing any draw games. Any draw game tickets that are
approved for sale by lottery licensees are automatically
approved for sale through the Internet program. The Department
shall maintain responsible gaming controls in its policies.
    The Department shall authorize the private manager to
implement and administer the program pursuant to the
management agreement entered into under Section 9.1 and in a
manner consistent with the provisions of this Section. If a
private manager has not been selected pursuant to Section 9.1
at the time the Department is obligated to implement the
program, then the Department shall not proceed with the
program until after the selection of the private manager, at
which time the Department shall authorize the private manager
to implement and administer the program pursuant to the
management agreement entered into under Section 9.1 and in a
manner consistent with the provisions of this Section.
    Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting
the Department from implementing and operating a website
portal whereby individuals who are 18 years of age or older
with an Illinois mailing address may apply to purchase lottery
tickets via subscription. Nothing in this Section shall also
be construed as prohibiting the Lottery draw game tickets
authorized for sale through the Internet program under this
Section from also continuing to be sold at retail locations by
a lottery licensee pursuant to the Department's rules.
    (c) (Blank).
    (d) This Section is repealed on July 1, 2025 2022.

    Sec. 9.1. Private manager and management agreement.
    (a) As used in this Section:
    "Offeror" means a person or group of persons that responds
to a request for qualifications under this Section.
    "Request for qualifications" means all materials and
documents prepared by the Department to solicit the following
from offerors:
        (1) Statements of qualifications.
        (2) Proposals to enter into a management agreement,
    including the identity of any prospective vendor or
    vendors that the offeror intends to initially engage to
    assist the offeror in performing its obligations under the
    management agreement.
    "Final offer" means the last proposal submitted by an
offeror in response to the request for qualifications,
including the identity of any prospective vendor or vendors
that the offeror intends to initially engage to assist the

    "Final offeror" means the offeror ultimately selected by
the Governor to be the private manager for the Lottery under
subsection (h) of this Section.
    (b) By September 15, 2010, the Governor shall select a
private manager for the total management of the Lottery with
integrated functions, such as lottery game design, supply of
goods and services, and advertising and as specified in this
Section.
    (c) Pursuant to the terms of this subsection, the
Department shall endeavor to expeditiously terminate the
existing contracts in support of the Lottery in effect on July
13, 2009 (the effective date of Public Act 96-37) in
connection with the selection of the private manager. As part
of its obligation to terminate these contracts and select the
private manager, the Department shall establish a mutually
agreeable timetable to transfer the functions of existing
contractors to the private manager so that existing Lottery
operations are not materially diminished or impaired during
the transition. To that end, the Department shall do the
following:
        (1) where such contracts contain a provision
    authorizing termination upon notice, the Department shall
    provide notice of termination to occur upon the mutually
    agreed timetable for transfer of functions;
        (2) upon the expiration of any initial term or renewal
    term of the current Lottery contracts, the Department
    shall not renew such contract for a term extending beyond
    the mutually agreed timetable for transfer of functions;
    or
        (3) in the event any current contract provides for
    termination of that contract upon the implementation of a
    contract with the private manager, the Department shall
    perform all necessary actions to terminate the contract on
    the date that coincides with the mutually agreed timetable
    for transfer of functions.
    If the contracts to support the current operation of the
Lottery in effect on July 13, 2009 (the effective date of
Public Act 96-34) are not subject to termination as provided
for in this subsection (c), then the Department may include a
provision in the contract with the private manager specifying
a mutually agreeable methodology for incorporation.
    (c-5) The Department shall include provisions in the
management agreement whereby the private manager shall, for a
fee, and pursuant to a contract negotiated with the Department
(the "Employee Use Contract"), utilize the services of current
Department employees to assist in the administration and
operation of the Lottery. The Department shall be the employer
of all such bargaining unit employees assigned to perform such
work for the private manager, and such employees shall be
State employees, as defined by the Personnel Code. Department
employees shall operate under the same employment policies,
rules, regulations, and procedures, as other employees of the
Department. In addition, neither historical representation
rights under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, nor
existing collective bargaining agreements, shall be disturbed
by the management agreement with the private manager for the
management of the Lottery.

        time;
            (B) has ready access at any time to information
        regarding Lottery operations;
            (C) has the right to demand and receive
        information from the private manager concerning any
        aspect of the Lottery operations at any time; and
            (D) retains ownership of all trade names,
        trademarks, and intellectual property associated with
        the Lottery.
        (3) A provision imposing an affirmative duty on the
    private manager to provide the Department with material
    information and with any information the private manager
    reasonably believes the Department would want to know to
    enable the Department to conduct the Lottery.
        (4) A provision requiring the private manager to
    provide the Department with advance notice of any
    operating decision that bears significantly on the public
    interest, including, but not limited to, decisions on the
    kinds of games to be offered to the public and decisions
    affecting the relative risk and reward of the games being
    offered, so the Department has a reasonable opportunity to
    evaluate and countermand that decision.
        (5) A provision providing for compensation of the
    private manager that may consist of, among other things, a
    fee for services and a performance based bonus as
    consideration for managing the Lottery, including terms
    that may provide the private manager with an increase in
    compensation if Lottery revenues grow by a specified
    percentage in a given year.
        (6) (Blank).
        (7) A provision requiring the deposit of all Lottery
    proceeds to be deposited into the State Lottery Fund

    the Lottery, other than contracts with sales agents or
    technical advisors, be awarded to businesses that are a
    minority-owned business, a women-owned business, or a
    business owned by a person with disability, as those terms
    are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities,
    Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act.
        (9) A requirement that so long as the private manager
    complies with all the conditions of the agreement under
    the oversight of the Department, the private manager shall
    have the following duties and obligations with respect to
    the management of the Lottery:

        used in the operation of the Lottery.
            (B) The rights and obligations under contracts

        (11) A requirement that the private manager market the

    permitted by law.
        (12) A code of ethics for the private manager's
    officers and employees.
        (13) A requirement that the Department monitor and

    agreement, to negotiate and sign its own contracts with
    vendors.

    shall favor the selection of a vendor deemed to have
    submitted a proposal that provides the Lottery with the
    best overall value. The process shall not be subject to
    the provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code, unless
    specifically required by the management agreement.
        (20) The transition of rights and obligations,
    including any associated equipment or other assets used in
    the operation of the Lottery, from the manager to any
    successor manager of the lottery, including the
    Department, following the termination of or foreclosure
    upon the management agreement.
        (21) Right of use of copyrights, trademarks, and

    subsection (p) of this Section.
    (e) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the
Department shall select a private manager through a
competitive request for qualifications process consistent with
Section 20-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code, which shall
take into account:
        (1) the offeror's ability to market the Lottery to
    those residents who are new, infrequent, or lapsed players
    of the Lottery, especially those who are most likely to
    make regular purchases on the Internet;
        (2) the offeror's ability to address the State's
    concern with the social effects of gambling on those who

or advisors with significant experience in financial services

prospective advisor seeking to provide services under this
subsection (f) shall disclose any material business or
financial relationship during the past 3 years with any
potential offeror, or with a contractor or subcontractor
presently providing goods, services, or equipment to the
Department to support the Lottery. The Department shall
evaluate the material business or financial relationship of
each prospective advisor. The Department shall not select any
prospective advisor with a substantial business or financial
relationship that the Department deems to impair the

advisor. During the course of the advisor's engagement by the
Department, and for a period of one year thereafter, the
advisor shall not enter into any business or financial
relationship with any offeror or any vendor identified to
assist an offeror in performing its obligations under the
management agreement. Any advisor retained by the Department
shall be disqualified from being an offeror. The Department
shall not include terms in the request for qualifications that
provide a material advantage whether directly or indirectly to
any potential offeror, or any contractor or subcontractor
presently providing goods, services, or equipment to the
Department to support the Lottery, including terms contained
in previous responses to requests for proposals or
qualifications submitted to Illinois, another State or foreign
government when those terms are uniquely associated with a
particular potential offeror, contractor, or subcontractor.
The request for proposals offered by the Department on
December 22, 2008 as "LOT08GAMESYS" and reference number
"22016176" is declared void.
    (g) The Department shall select at least 2 offerors as
finalists to potentially serve as the private manager no later
than August 9, 2010. Upon making preliminary selections, the
Department shall schedule a public hearing on the finalists'
proposals and provide public notice of the hearing at least 7
calendar days before the hearing. The notice must include all
of the following:
        (1) The date, time, and place of the hearing.
        (2) The subject matter of the hearing.
        (3) A brief description of the management agreement to
    be awarded.
        (4) The identity of the offerors that have been
    selected as finalists to serve as the private manager.
        (5) The address and telephone number of the
    Department.
    (h) At the public hearing, the Department shall (i)
provide sufficient time for each finalist to present and
explain its proposal to the Department and the Governor or the
Governor's designee, including an opportunity to respond to
questions posed by the Department, Governor, or designee and
(ii) allow the public and non-selected offerors to comment on
the presentations. The Governor or a designee shall attend the
public hearing. After the public hearing, the Department shall
have 14 calendar days to recommend to the Governor whether a
management agreement should be entered into with a particular
finalist. After reviewing the Department's recommendation, the
Governor may accept or reject the Department's recommendation,
and shall select a final offeror as the private manager by
publication of a notice in the Illinois Procurement Bulletin
on or before September 15, 2010. The Governor shall include in
the notice a detailed explanation and the reasons why the
final offeror is superior to other offerors and will provide
management services in a manner that best achieves the
objectives of this Section. The Governor shall also sign the
management agreement with the private manager.
    (i) Any action to contest the private manager selected by
the Governor under this Section must be brought within 7
calendar days after the publication of the notice of the
designation of the private manager as provided in subsection
(h) of this Section.
    (j) The Lottery shall remain, for so long as a private
manager manages the Lottery in accordance with provisions of
this Act, a Lottery conducted by the State, and the State shall
not be authorized to sell or transfer the Lottery to a third
party.
    (k) Any tangible personal property used exclusively in
connection with the lottery that is owned by the Department
and leased to the private manager shall be owned by the
Department in the name of the State and shall be considered to
be public property devoted to an essential public and
governmental function.
    (l) The Department may exercise any of its powers under
this Section or any other law as necessary or desirable for the
execution of the Department's powers under this Section.
    (m) Neither this Section nor any management agreement
entered into under this Section prohibits the General Assembly
from authorizing forms of gambling that are not in direct
competition with the Lottery. The forms of gambling authorized
by Public Act 101-31 constitute authorized forms of gambling
that are not in direct competition with the Lottery.
    (n) The private manager shall be subject to a complete
investigation in the third, seventh, and tenth years of the
agreement (if the agreement is for a 10-year term) by the
Department in cooperation with the Auditor General to
determine whether the private manager has complied with this
Section and the management agreement. The private manager
shall bear the cost of an investigation or reinvestigation of
the private manager under this subsection.
    (o) The powers conferred by this Section are in addition
and supplemental to the powers conferred by any other law. If
any other law or rule is inconsistent with this Section,
including, but not limited to, provisions of the Illinois
Procurement Code, then this Section controls as to any
management agreement entered into under this Section. This
Section and any rules adopted under this Section contain full
and complete authority for a management agreement between the
Department and a private manager. No law, procedure,
proceeding, publication, notice, consent, approval, order, or
act by the Department or any other officer, Department,
agency, or instrumentality of the State or any political
subdivision is required for the Department to enter into a
management agreement under this Section. This Section contains
full and complete authority for the Department to approve any
contracts entered into by a private manager with a vendor
providing goods, services, or both goods and services to the
private manager under the terms of the management agreement,
including subcontractors of such vendors.
    Upon receipt of a written request from the Chief
Procurement Officer, the Department shall provide to the Chief
Procurement Officer a complete and un-redacted copy of the
management agreement or any contract that is subject to the
Department's approval authority under this subsection (o). The
Department shall provide a copy of the agreement or contract
to the Chief Procurement Officer in the time specified by the
Chief Procurement Officer in his or her written request, but
no later than 5 business days after the request is received by
the Department. The Chief Procurement Officer must retain any
portions of the management agreement or of any contract
designated by the Department as confidential, proprietary, or
trade secret information in complete confidence pursuant to
subsection (g) of Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act.
The Department shall also provide the Chief Procurement
Officer with reasonable advance written notice of any contract
that is pending Department approval.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the
contrary, the Chief Procurement Officer shall adopt
administrative rules, including emergency rules, to establish
a procurement process to select a successor private manager if
a private management agreement has been terminated. The
selection process shall at a minimum take into account the
criteria set forth in items (1) through (4) of subsection (e)
of this Section and may include provisions consistent with
subsections (f), (g), (h), and (i) of this Section. The Chief
Procurement Officer shall also implement and administer the
adopted selection process upon the termination of a private
management agreement. The Department, after the Chief
Procurement Officer certifies that the procurement process has
been followed in accordance with the rules adopted under this
subsection (o), shall select a final offeror as the private
manager and sign the management agreement with the private
manager.
    Through June 30, 2022, except Except as provided in
Sections 21.5, 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, 21.10, 21.11, 21.12,
and 21.13 of this Act and Section 25-70 of the Sports Wagering
Act, the Department shall distribute all proceeds of lottery
tickets and shares sold in the following priority and manner:
        (1) The payment of prizes and retailer bonuses.
        (2) The payment of costs incurred in the operation and
    administration of the Lottery, including the payment of
    sums due to the private manager under the management
    agreement with the Department.
        (3) On the last day of each month or as soon thereafter
    as possible, the State Comptroller shall direct and the
    State Treasurer shall transfer from the State Lottery Fund
    to the Common School Fund an amount that is equal to the
    proceeds transferred in the corresponding month of fiscal
    year 2009, as adjusted for inflation, to the Common School
    Fund.
        (4) On or before September 30 of each fiscal year,
    deposit any estimated remaining proceeds from the prior
    fiscal year, subject to payments under items (1), (2), and
    (3), into the Capital Projects Fund. Beginning in fiscal
    year 2019, the amount deposited shall be increased or
    decreased each year by the amount the estimated payment
    differs from the amount determined from each year-end
    financial audit. Only remaining net deficits from prior
    fiscal years may reduce the requirement to deposit these
    funds, as determined by the annual financial audit.
    Beginning July 1, 2022, the Department shall distribute
all proceeds of lottery tickets and shares sold in the manner
and priority described in Section 9.3 of this Act.
    (p) The Department shall be subject to the following

    Sec. 9.2. Reconciliation of Fiscal Year 2017 through
Fiscal Year 2022 annual net lottery proceeds.
    (a) The Office of the Auditor General concluded in the
Department's annual fiscal year audits for Fiscal Year 2017,
Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, and
Fiscal Year 2021 that annual net lottery proceeds from the
State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund exceeded the
annual net lottery proceeds available to transfer as described
in subsection (o) of Section 9.1. The excess transfers to the
Common School Fund during those fiscal years resulted in
transfers of annual net lottery proceeds to the Capital
Projects Fund as required by paragraph (4) of subsection (o)
of Section 9.1 not being sent. The Department had no statutory
authority to offset future transfers as described in paragraph
(4) of subsection (a) of Section 9.3 during Fiscal Year 2017,
Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, or
Fiscal Year 2021 to reconcile the discrepancies.
    (b) The Department is hereby authorized to reconcile the
discrepancies occurring in Fiscal Year 2017, Fiscal Year 2018,
Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, and Fiscal Year 2021 as
reported by the Office of the Auditor General. The Department
shall accomplish this reconciliation by offsetting its monthly
transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the resulting
cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and separately
transferring the deficient amounts owed to the Capital
Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for
government entities. The Department shall determine, in
coordination with the Governor's Office of Management and
Budget, an appropriate schedule for the offsets and transfers.
All offsets and transfers shall be completed no later than
June 30, 2023.
    (c) The Department is also authorized to reconcile any
discrepancies that may occur in Fiscal Year 2022, if the
annual net lottery proceeds transferred from the State Lottery
Fund to the Common School Fund exceed the annual net lottery
proceeds available to transfer. The Department shall determine
whether there were any excess transfers by June 30, 2023. The
Department shall reconcile any discrepancies by offsetting its
monthly transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the
resulting cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and
separately transferring the deficient amounts owed to the
Capital Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting principles.
All offsets and transfers for Fiscal Year 2022 discrepancies
shall be completed no later than June 30, 2024.
    (d) This Section is repealed on January 1, 2025.

    administering the Lottery sports wagering program pursuant

        (3) On the last day of each month or as soon thereafter
    as possible, the State Comptroller shall direct and the
    State Treasurer shall transfer from the State Lottery Fund
    to the Common School Fund the Department's estimate of net
    lottery proceeds.
        (4) If an amount in excess of the annual net lottery
    proceeds is transferred for a fiscal year, then the
    Department shall offset the monthly transfers of estimated
    net lottery proceeds during the following fiscal year by
    that excess amount. If an amount less than the annual net
    lottery proceeds is transferred for a fiscal year, then
    after the related annual fiscal year audit is completed
    following such fiscal year, the Department shall direct
    the deposit of any remaining annual net lottery proceeds
    from such fiscal year, subject to payments under
    paragraphs (1) and (2), into the Common School Fund as
    soon thereafter as possible.
    (b) The net lottery proceeds shall be determined by
deducting from total annual lottery proceeds the expenditures
required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a). The
total annual lottery proceeds and annual net lottery proceeds

principles for governmental entities and verified by an annual
fiscal year audit.

    Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary,
the General Assembly hereby authorizes the use of such funds
for the purposes set forth in this Section.
    These provisions do not apply to funds classified by the
Comptroller as federal trust funds or State trust funds. The
Audit Expense Fund may receive transfers from those trust
funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the
terms of the trust fund agreement. The Auditor General shall
notify the trustees of those funds of the estimated cost of the
audit to be incurred under the Illinois State Auditing Act for
the fund. The trustees of those funds shall direct the State
Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the estimated amount to
the Audit Expense Fund.
    The Auditor General may bill entities that are not subject
to the above transfer provisions, including private entities,
related organizations and entities whose funds are
locally-held, for the cost of audits, studies, and
investigations incurred on their behalf. Any revenues received
under this provision shall be deposited into the Audit Expense
Fund.
    In the event that moneys on deposit in any fund are
unavailable, by reason of deficiency or any other reason
preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall
order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer the
amount deficient or otherwise unavailable from the General
Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund.
    On or before December 1, 1992, and each December 1
thereafter, the Auditor General shall notify the Governor's
Office of Management and Budget (formerly Bureau of the
Budget) of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for
audits, studies, and investigations in accordance with the
Illinois State Auditing Act during the next succeeding fiscal
year for each State fund for which a transfer or reimbursement
is anticipated.
    Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal
year thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State
Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds
authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the event
funds, including federal and State trust funds but excluding
the General Revenue Fund, are transferred, during fiscal year
1994 and during each fiscal year thereafter, in excess of the
amount to pay actual costs attributable to audits, studies,
and investigations as permitted or required by the Illinois
State Auditing Act or specific action of the General Assembly,
the Auditor General shall, on September 30, or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, direct the State Comptroller and
Treasurer to transfer the excess amount back to the fund from
which it was originally transferred.

enacted unless that Act otherwise provides.
    (b) Outstanding liabilities as of June 30, payable from
appropriations which have otherwise expired, may be paid out
of the expiring appropriations during the 2-month period
ending at the close of business on August 31. Any service
involving professional or artistic skills or any personal
services by an employee whose compensation is subject to
income tax withholding must be performed as of June 30 of the
fiscal year in order to be considered an "outstanding
liability as of June 30" that is thereby eligible for payment
out of the expiring appropriation.
    (b-1) However, payment of tuition reimbursement claims
under Section 14-7.03 or 18-3 of the School Code may be made by
the State Board of Education from its appropriations for those
respective purposes for any fiscal year, even though the
claims reimbursed by the payment may be claims attributable to
a prior fiscal year, and payments may be made at the direction
of the State Superintendent of Education from the fund from
which the appropriation is made without regard to any fiscal
year limitations, except as required by subsection (j) of this
Section. Beginning on June 30, 2021, payment of tuition
reimbursement claims under Section 14-7.03 or 18-3 of the
School Code as of June 30, payable from appropriations that
have otherwise expired, may be paid out of the expiring

under the State Prompt Payment Act associated with a voucher
for which payment is issued after June 30 may be paid out of
the next fiscal year's appropriation. The future year
appropriation must be for the same purpose and from the same
fund as the original payment. An interest penalty voucher
submitted against a future year appropriation must be
submitted within 60 days after the issuance of the associated
voucher, except that, for fiscal year 2018 only, an interest
penalty voucher submitted against a future year appropriation
must be submitted within 60 days of June 5, 2019 (the effective
date of Public Act 101-10). The Comptroller must issue the
interest payment within 60 days after acceptance of the
interest voucher.
    (b-3) Medical payments may be made by the Department of
Veterans' Affairs from its appropriations for those purposes
for any fiscal year, without regard to the fact that the

result of recent changes in federal funding formulas, can no
longer receive federal reimbursement.
    (b-9) (Blank).

    (i) An agency which administers a fund classified by the
Comptroller as an internal service fund may issue rules for:
        (1) billing user agencies in advance for payments or
    authorized inter-fund transfers based on estimated charges
    for goods or services;
        (2) issuing credits, refunding through inter-fund
    transfers, or reducing future inter-fund transfers during

User agencies are authorized to reimburse internal service
funds for catch-up billings by vouchers drawn against their
respective appropriations for the fiscal year in which the

been rendered in a prior fiscal year, are limited to only those
claims that have been incurred but for which a proper bill or
invoice as defined by the State Prompt Payment Act has not been

    Section 5-40. The State Revenue Sharing Act is amended by
changing Section 12 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 115/12)  (from Ch. 85, par. 616)
    Sec. 12. Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund. There is
hereby created the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund, a
special fund in the State Treasury into which shall be paid all
revenue realized:
        (a) all amounts realized from the additional personal
    property tax replacement income tax imposed by subsections
    (c) and (d) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act,
    except for those amounts deposited into the Income Tax
    Refund Fund pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 901 of
    the Illinois Income Tax Act; and
        (b) all amounts realized from the additional personal
    property replacement invested capital taxes imposed by
    Section 2a.1 of the Messages Tax Act, Section 2a.1 of the
    Gas Revenue Tax Act, Section 2a.1 of the Public Utilities
    Revenue Act, and Section 3 of the Water Company Invested
    Capital Tax Act, and amounts payable to the Department of
    Revenue under the Telecommunications Infrastructure
    Maintenance Fee Act.
    As soon as may be after the end of each month, the
Department of Revenue shall certify to the Treasurer and the
Comptroller the amount of all refunds paid out of the General
Revenue Fund through the preceding month on account of
overpayment of liability on taxes paid into the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund. Upon receipt of such
certification, the Treasurer and the Comptroller shall
transfer the amount so certified from the Personal Property
Tax Replacement Fund into the General Revenue Fund.
    The payments of revenue into the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund shall be used exclusively for distribution to
taxing districts, regional offices and officials, and local
officials as provided in this Section and in the School Code,
payment of the ordinary and contingent expenses of the
Property Tax Appeal Board, payment of the expenses of the
Department of Revenue incurred in administering the collection
and distribution of monies paid into the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund and transfers due to refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability for taxes paid into the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund.
    In addition, moneys in the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund may be used to pay any of the following: (i)
salary, stipends, and additional compensation as provided by
law for chief election clerks, county clerks, and county
recorders; (ii) costs associated with regional offices of
education and educational service centers; (iii)

Relations Board; and (v) salary, personal services, and
additional compensation as provided by law for court reporters
under the Court Reporters Act.
    As soon as may be after June 26, 1980 (the effective date
of Public Act 81-1255), the Department of Revenue shall
certify to the Treasurer the amount of net replacement revenue
paid into the General Revenue Fund prior to that effective
date from the additional tax imposed by Section 2a.1 of the
Messages Tax Act; Section 2a.1 of the Gas Revenue Tax Act;
Section 2a.1 of the Public Utilities Revenue Act; Section 3 of
the Water Company Invested Capital Tax Act; amounts collected
by the Department of Revenue under the Telecommunications
Infrastructure Maintenance Fee Act; and the additional
personal property tax replacement income tax imposed by the
Illinois Income Tax Act, as amended by Public Act 81-1st
Special Session-1. Net replacement revenue shall be defined as
the total amount paid into and remaining in the General
Revenue Fund as a result of those Acts minus the amount
outstanding and obligated from the General Revenue Fund in
state vouchers or warrants prior to June 26, 1980 (the
effective date of Public Act 81-1255) as refunds to taxpayers
for overpayment of liability under those Acts.
    All interest earned by monies accumulated in the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be deposited in such Fund.
All amounts allocated pursuant to this Section are
appropriated on a continuing basis.
    Prior to December 31, 1980, as soon as may be after the end
of each quarter beginning with the quarter ending December 31,
1979, and on and after December 31, 1980, as soon as may be
after January 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, July 1, August 1,
October 1 and December 1 of each year, the Department of
Revenue shall allocate to each taxing district as defined in
Section 1-150 of the Property Tax Code, in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (2) of this Section the portion of the
funds held in the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund which
is required to be distributed, as provided in paragraph (1),
for each quarter. Provided, however, under no circumstances
shall any taxing district during each of the first two years of
distribution of the taxes imposed by Public Act 81-1st Special
Session-1 be entitled to an annual allocation which is less
than the funds such taxing district collected from the 1978
personal property tax. Provided further that under no
circumstances shall any taxing district during the third year
of distribution of the taxes imposed by Public Act 81-1st
Special Session-1 receive less than 60% of the funds such
taxing district collected from the 1978 personal property tax.
In the event that the total of the allocations made as above
provided for all taxing districts, during either of such 3
years, exceeds the amount available for distribution the
allocation of each taxing district shall be proportionately
reduced. Except as provided in Section 13 of this Act, the
Department shall then certify, pursuant to appropriation, such
allocations to the State Comptroller who shall pay over to the
several taxing districts the respective amounts allocated to
them.
    Any township which receives an allocation based in whole
or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied
pursuant to Section 6-507 or 6-512 of the Illinois Highway
Code and which was previously required to be paid over to a
municipality shall immediately pay over to that municipality a
proportionate share of the personal property replacement funds
which such township receives.
    Any municipality or township, other than a municipality
with a population in excess of 500,000, which receives an
allocation based in whole or in part on personal property
taxes which it levied pursuant to Sections 3-1, 3-4 and 3-6 of
the Illinois Local Library Act and which was previously
required to be paid over to a public library shall immediately
pay over to that library a proportionate share of the personal
property tax replacement funds which such municipality or
township receives; provided that if such a public library has
converted to a library organized under the Illinois Public
Library District Act, regardless of whether such conversion
has occurred on, after or before January 1, 1988, such
proportionate share shall be immediately paid over to the
library district which maintains and operates the library.
However, any library that has converted prior to January 1,
1988, and which hitherto has not received the personal
property tax replacement funds, shall receive such funds
commencing on January 1, 1988.
    Any township which receives an allocation based in whole
or in part on personal property taxes which it levied pursuant
to Section 1c of the Public Graveyards Act and which taxes were
previously required to be paid over to or used for such public
cemetery or cemeteries shall immediately pay over to or use
for such public cemetery or cemeteries a proportionate share
of the personal property tax replacement funds which the
township receives.
    Any taxing district which receives an allocation based in
whole or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied
for another governmental body or school district in Cook
County in 1976 or for another governmental body or school
district in the remainder of the State in 1977 shall
immediately pay over to that governmental body or school
district the amount of personal property replacement funds
which such governmental body or school district would receive
directly under the provisions of paragraph (2) of this
Section, had it levied its own taxes.
        (1) The portion of the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund required to be distributed as of the time
    allocation is required to be made shall be the amount
    available in such Fund as of the time allocation is
    required to be made.
        The amount available for distribution shall be the
    total amount in the fund at such time minus the necessary
    administrative and other authorized expenses as limited by
    the appropriation and the amount determined by: (a) $2.8
    million for fiscal year 1981; (b) for fiscal year 1982,
    .54% of the funds distributed from the fund during the
    preceding fiscal year; (c) for fiscal year 1983 through
    fiscal year 1988, .54% of the funds distributed from the
    fund during the preceding fiscal year less .02% of such
    fund for fiscal year 1983 and less .02% of such funds for
    each fiscal year thereafter; (d) for fiscal year 1989
    through fiscal year 2011 no more than 105% of the actual
    administrative expenses of the prior fiscal year; (e) for
    fiscal year 2012 and beyond, a sufficient amount to pay
    (i) stipends, additional compensation, salary
    reimbursements, and other amounts directed to be paid out
    of this Fund for local officials as authorized or required
    by statute and (ii) the ordinary and contingent expenses
    of the Property Tax Appeal Board and the expenses of the
    Department of Revenue incurred in administering the
    collection and distribution of moneys paid into the Fund;
    (f) for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 only, a sufficient
    amount to pay stipends, additional compensation, salary
    reimbursements, and other amounts directed to be paid out
    of this Fund for regional offices and officials as
    authorized or required by statute; or (g) for fiscal years
    2018 through 2023 2022 only, a sufficient amount to pay
    amounts directed to be paid out of this Fund for public
    community college base operating grants and local health
    protection grants to certified local health departments as
    authorized or required by appropriation or statute. Such
    portion of the fund shall be determined after the transfer
    into the General Revenue Fund due to refunds, if any, paid
    from the General Revenue Fund during the preceding
    quarter. If at any time, for any reason, there is
    insufficient amount in the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund for payments for regional offices and
    officials or local officials or payment of costs of
    administration or for transfers due to refunds at the end
    of any particular month, the amount of such insufficiency
    shall be carried over for the purposes of payments for
    regional offices and officials, local officials, transfers
    into the General Revenue Fund, and costs of administration
    to the following month or months. Net replacement revenue
    held, and defined above, shall be transferred by the
    Treasurer and Comptroller to the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund within 10 days of such certification.
        (2) Each quarterly allocation shall first be
    apportioned in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing
    districts in Cook County and 48.35% for taxing districts
    in the remainder of the State.
    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County is
the personal property tax collections for that taxing district
for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal
property tax collections for all taxing districts in the State
outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and
completeness the personal property tax collections for each
taxing district outside Cook County for the 1977 tax year.
    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook
County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of
that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax
Base of each Cook County taxing district is the personal
property tax collections for that taxing district for the 1976
tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the personal property tax
collections for all taxing districts in Cook County for the
1976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have authority
to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property
tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County
for the 1976 tax year.
    For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the
Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal
property taxes of each such taxing district for the applicable
tax year or years.
    Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or
more other counties shall receive both a Cook County
allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same
way as all other taxing districts.
    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued
taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
1979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
the taxing districts which have consolidated.
    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
district so divided shall be allocated to each of the
resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current
equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the
same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
annexation is made.
    If a community college district is created after July 1,
1979, beginning on January 1, 1996 (the effective date of
Public Act 89-327), its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of
the personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year
within the territorial jurisdiction of the district.
    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts
pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 81-1st Special
Session-1 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the
revenues derived from taxes imposed on personal property
pursuant to the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An
Act for the assessment and taxation of private car line
companies", approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414
of the Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such
taxes and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues
derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate.
    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
previously levied and collected from extensions against
personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
which were previously levied and collected from extensions
against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
debt service which was collected from extensions against real
estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
from extensions against both real and personal property. For
1979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
district which will yield the said percentage or percentages
of the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of
the amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by
Public Act 81-1255 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to
be collected in 1981.

    Section 5-47. The Agricultural Fair Act is amended by
changing Sections 5, 6, 10, and 13 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 120/5)  (from Ch. 85, par. 655)
    Sec. 5. To qualify for disbursements made by the
Department from an appropriation made under provisions of this
Act, each county fair should notify the Department in writing
of its declaration of intent to participate by December 31 of
the year preceding the year in which such distribution shall
be made. The DeWitt County Fair shall qualify for
disbursements made by the Department from an appropriation
made under the provisions of this Act in fiscal years 2022 and
2023, subject to appropriation, and provided the DeWitt County
Fair notifies the Department in writing of its declaration of
intent to participate within 30 days after the effective date
of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
notification shall state the following: facts of its
organization, location, officers, dates of exhibitions and
approximate amount of premiums to be offered.
(Source: P.A. 91-934, eff. 6-1-01.)
 
    (30 ILCS 120/6)  (from Ch. 85, par. 656)
    Sec. 6. After August 20, 1971, the General Assembly and
the Director shall approve the organization of new county
fairs that shall be established for the purpose of holding
annual fairs, provided that an element of such approval shall
be an appropriation in a separate bill authorizing such fairs'
participation in the disbursements provided for in this Act.
(Source: P.A. 81-159.)
 
    (30 ILCS 120/10)  (from Ch. 85, par. 660)
    Sec. 10. (a) Effective with fiscal year 1987, each county
fair's authorized base shall be set at 66 2/3% of the approved
amount of premium paid in either fiscal year 1984 or 1985,
whichever year has the largest approved amount. The authorized
base of the Gallatin, Montgomery and Massac county fairs for
fiscal years 1987 and 1988 shall be $15,000 each. Subject to
appropriation, the authorized base of the DeWitt County Fair
for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 shall be $20,000 each. If there
is a change in the appropriation, the Director shall allocate
to each fair the same percentages of that appropriation as it
received of the authorized bases for all fairs.
    (b) The Department shall reimburse each eligible county
fair as follows:
    100% of the first $2,000 of approved premiums awarded at
each eligible county fair;
    85% of the next $2,000;
    75% of the next $3,000;
    65% of the next $3,000;
    55% of the next $4,000; and
    50% of the remaining premiums paid until the total
reimbursement equals the authorized base amount for each fair.
    (c) If, after all approved state aid claims are paid for
the current year pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section,
any amount remains in the appropriations for state aid, that
remaining amount shall be distributed on a grant basis. If the
total amount of excess approved state aid claims over the
authorized base is equal to or less than the remaining amount
appropriated for state aid, then each participating fair shall
receive a grant equivalent to the excess of its approved claim
over its authorized base. If the total amount of excess
approved state aid claims exceeds the remaining monies
appropriated for state aid, the grants shall be distributed to
the participating fairs in proportion to the total amounts of
their respective excess approved claims. If, after all
approved claims are paid, any amount remains, that amount
shall be distributed to all county fairs eligible under this
Section in proportion to their total state aid claims. Fairs
filing approved claims exceeding both their authorized base
and the grant provided for in this subsection shall
participate in the Growth Incentive Program set forth in
Section 10.1.
    Grant monies received by a county fair shall be used only
for premiums, awards, judge's fees, and other expenses
incurred by the fair which are directly related to the
operation of the fair and approved by regulation of the
Department. Each fair shall file with the Department a fiscal
accounting of the expenditure of the grant monies received
under this subsection each year at the same time it files its
report under Section 12 in relation to the fair held in the
next succeeding year.
    Effective with fiscal year 1989 and each odd numbered
fiscal year thereafter, the authorized base of all
participating county fairs shall be adjusted by applying 66
2/3% to the amount of approved premiums paid in the highest of
the previous 2 fiscal years.

    (30 ILCS 120/13)  (from Ch. 85, par. 663)
    Sec. 13. Rehabilitation. Except as otherwise allowed by
the Director, to qualify for disbursements made by the
Department from an appropriation made under the provisions of
this Section, the land on which the fair is held must be owned
by the county fair board participating in this disbursement or
by a State, city, village, or county government body, or be
held under a lease that is at least 20 years in duration, the
terms of which require the lessee to have continuous
possession of the land during every day of the lease period. No
county fair shall qualify for disbursements made by the
Department from an appropriation made under the provisions of
this Section unless it shall have notified the Department in
writing of its intent to participate prior to obligating any
funds for which reimbursement will be requested. Each county
fair shall be reimbursed annually for that part of the amount
expended by the fair during the year for liability and
casualty insurance, as provided in this Section, and the
rehabilitation of its grounds, including major construction
projects and minor maintenance and repair projects; as
follows:
    100% of the first $5,000 or any part thereof;
    75% of the next $20,000 or any part thereof;
    50% of the next $20,000 or any part thereof.
    The lesser of either $20,000 or 50% of the amount received
by a county fair pursuant to this Section may be expended for
liability and casualty insurance.
    The maximum amount the DeWitt County Fair may be
reimbursed in each of fiscal years 2022 and 2023, subject to
appropriation, is $13,250.
    If a county fair expends more than is needed in any year
for approved projects to maximize State reimbursement under
this Section and provides itemized receipts and other evidence
of expenditures for that year, any excess may be carried over
to the succeeding year. The amount carried over shall
constitute a claim for reimbursement for a subsequent period
not to exceed 7 years as long as funds are available.
    Before June 30 of each year, the president and secretary
of each county fair which has participated in this program
shall file with the Department a sworn statement of the amount
expended during the period July 1 to June 30 of the State's
fiscal year, accompanied by itemized receipted bills and other
evidence of expenditures. If the Department approves the
claim, the State Comptroller is authorized and directed to
draw a warrant payable from the Agricultural Premium Fund on
the State Treasurer for the amount of the rehabilitation
claims.
    If after all claims are paid, there remains any amount of
the appropriation for rehabilitation, the remaining amount
shall be distributed as a grant to the participating fairs
qualifying for the maximum reimbursement and shall be
distributed to the eligible fairs on an equal basis not to
exceed each eligible fair's pro rata share granted in this
paragraph. A sworn statement of the amount expended
accompanied by the itemized receipted bills as evidence of
expenditure must be filed with the Department by June 30 of
each year.

    Section 5-48. The General Obligation Bond Act is amended
by changing Section 15 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 330/15)  (from Ch. 127, par. 665)
    Sec. 15. Computation of principal and interest; transfers.
    (a) Upon each delivery of Bonds authorized to be issued
under this Act, the Comptroller shall compute and certify to
the Treasurer the total amount of principal of, interest on,
and premium, if any, on Bonds issued that will be payable in
order to retire such Bonds, the amount of principal of,
interest on and premium, if any, on such Bonds that will be
payable on each payment date according to the tenor of such
Bonds during the then current and each succeeding fiscal year,
and the amount of sinking fund payments needed to be deposited
in connection with Qualified School Construction Bonds
authorized by subsection (e) of Section 9. With respect to the
interest payable on variable rate bonds, such certifications
shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that may be
payable during the fiscal year, after taking into account any
credits permitted in the related indenture or other instrument
against the amount of such interest required to be
appropriated for such period pursuant to subsection (c) of
Section 14 of this Act. With respect to the interest payable,
such certifications shall include the amounts certified by the
Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
under subsection (b) of Section 9 of this Act.
    On or before the last day of each month the State Treasurer
and Comptroller shall transfer from (1) the Road Fund with
respect to Bonds issued under paragraphs (a) and (e) of
Section 4 of this Act, or Bonds issued under authorization in
Public Act 98-781, or Bonds issued for the purpose of
refunding such bonds, and from (2) the General Revenue Fund,
with respect to all other Bonds issued under this Act, to the
General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an amount
sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of, interest
on, and premium, if any, on Bonds payable, by their terms on
the next payment date divided by the number of full calendar
months between the date of such Bonds and the first such
payment date, and thereafter, divided by the number of months
between each succeeding payment date after the first. Such
computations and transfers shall be made for each series of
Bonds issued and delivered. Interest payable on variable rate
bonds shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that
may be payable for the relevant period, after taking into
account any credits permitted in the related indenture or
other instrument against the amount of such interest required
to be appropriated for such period pursuant to subsection (c)
of Section 14 of this Act. Computations of interest shall
include the amounts certified by the Director of the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget under subsection
(b) of Section 9 of this Act. Interest for which moneys have
already been deposited into the capitalized interest account
within the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest
Fund shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts to
be transferred under this subsection. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Section, the transfer provisions
provided in this paragraph shall not apply to transfers made
in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 with respect to Bonds
issued in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 pursuant to
Section 7.2 of this Act. In the case of transfers made in
fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 with respect to the Bonds
issued in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 pursuant to
Section 7.2 of this Act, on or before the 15th day of the month
prior to the required debt service payment, the State
Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer from the General
Revenue Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the
principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the Bonds
payable in that next month.
    The transfer of monies herein and above directed is not
required if monies in the General Obligation Bond Retirement
and Interest Fund are more than the amount otherwise to be
transferred as herein above provided, and if the Governor or
his authorized representative notifies the State Treasurer and
Comptroller of such fact in writing.
    (b) After the effective date of this Act, the balance of,
and monies directed to be included in the Capital Development
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund, Anti-Pollution Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund, Transportation Bond, Series A
Retirement and Interest Fund, Transportation Bond, Series B
Retirement and Interest Fund, and Coal Development Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund shall be transferred to and
deposited in the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund. This Fund shall be used to make debt service
payments on the State's general obligation Bonds heretofore
issued which are now outstanding and payable from the Funds
herein listed as well as on Bonds issued under this Act.
    (c) The unused portion of federal funds received for or as
reimbursement for a capital facilities project, as authorized
by Section 3 of this Act, for which monies from the Capital
Development Fund have been expended shall remain in the
Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund and shall be
used for capital projects and for no other purpose, subject to
appropriation and as directed by the Capital Development
Board. Any federal funds received as reimbursement for the
completed construction of a capital facilities project, as
authorized by Section 3 of this Act, for which monies from the
Capital Development Fund have been expended may be used for
any expense or project necessary for implementation of the
Quincy Veterans' Home Rehabilitation and Rebuilding Act for a
period of 5 years from July 17, 2018 (the effective date of
Public Act 100-610) this amendatory Act of the 100th General
Assembly, and any remaining funds shall be deposited in the
General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund.

    Section 5-49. The Capital Development Bond Act of 1972 is
amended by changing Section 9a as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 420/9a)  (from Ch. 127, par. 759a)
    Sec. 9a. The unused portion of federal funds received for
or as reimbursement for a capital improvement project for
which moneys from the Capital Development Fund have been
expended shall remain in the Capital Development Board
Contributory Trust Fund and shall be used for capital projects
and for no other purpose, subject to appropriation and as
directed by the Capital Development Board. Any federal funds
received as reimbursement for the completed construction of a
capital improvement project for which moneys from the Capital
Development Fund have been expended may be used for any
expense or project necessary for implementation of the Quincy
Veterans' Home Rehabilitation and Rebuilding Act for a period
of 5 years from July 17, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act
100-610) this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly,
and any remaining funds shall be deposited in the Capital
Development Bond Retirement and Interest Fund.

    Section 5-55. The Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act is
amended by adding Section 5.1 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 705/5.1 new)
    Sec. 5.1. Restoration of grant award.
    (a) A grantee who received an award pursuant to the Open
Space Lands Acquisition and Development Act who was unable to
complete the project within the 2 years required by Section 5
due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and whose grant
agreement expired between January 1, 2021 and July 29, 2021,
shall be eligible for an award under the same terms as the
expired grant agreement, subject to the availability of
appropriated moneys in the fund from which the original
disbursement to the grantee was made. The grantee must
demonstrate prior compliance with the terms and conditions of
the expired award to be eligible for funding under this
Section.
    (b) Any grant funds not expended or legally obligated by
the expiration of the newly executed agreement must be
returned to the grantor agency within 45 days, if the funds are
not already on deposit with the grantor agency or the State
Treasurer. Such returned funds shall be deposited into the
fund from which the original grant disbursement to the grantee
was made.
    (c) This Section is repealed on July 31, 2024.
 
    Section 5-57. The Charitable Trust Stabilization Act is
amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 790/5)
    Sec. 5. The Charitable Trust Stabilization Fund.
    (a) The Charitable Trust Stabilization Fund is created as
a special fund in the State treasury. From appropriations from
the Fund, upon recommendation from the Charitable Trust
Stabilization Committee, the State Treasurer may make grants
to public and private entities in the State for the purposes
set forth under subsection (b). Special attention shall be
given to public and private entities with operating budgets of
less than $1,000,000 that are located within a depressed area,
as defined under Section 3 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
Act, and preferences for recommending grants to the State
Treasurer may be given to these entities by the Committee.
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, including,
without limitation, fees collected under subsection (m) of
Section 115.10 of the General Not For Profit Corporation Act
of 1986 and appropriations, gifts, grants, and awards from any
public or private entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any
interest earnings that are attributable to moneys in the Fund
must be deposited into the Fund.
    (b) Moneys in the Fund may be used only for the following
purposes:
        (1) (blank);
        (2) (blank);
        (1) (3) grants for the start-up or operational
    purposes of participating organizations; and
        (2) (4) the administration of the Fund and this Act.
    (c) Moneys deposited into in the Fund must be allocated as
follows:
        (1) 20% of the amount deposited into the Fund in the
    fiscal year must be set aside for the operating budget of
    the Fund for the next fiscal year, but the operating
    budget of the Fund may not exceed $4,000,000 in any fiscal
    year;
        (1) 80% (2) 50% must be available for the purposes set

Trust Stabilization Fund. On the June 30 that occurs in the
third year after the transfer to the Charitable Trust
Stabilization Fund, the Treasurer must transfer the amount of
$1,000,000 from the Charitable Trust Stabilization Fund to the
General Revenue Fund. If, on that date, less than $1,000,000
is available for transfer, then the Treasurer must transfer
the remaining balance of the Charitable Trust Stabilization
Fund to the General Revenue Fund, and on each June 30
thereafter must transfer any balance in the Charitable Trust
Stabilization Fund to the General Revenue Fund until the
aggregate amount of $1,000,000 has been transferred.

    Section 5-60. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
changing Sections 224 and 901 as follows:

    Sec. 224. Invest in Kids credit.
    (a) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
2018 and ending before January 1, 2024 2023, each taxpayer for
whom a tax credit has been awarded by the Department under the
Invest in Kids Act is entitled to a credit against the tax
imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this
Act in an amount equal to the amount awarded under the Invest
in Kids Act.
    (b) For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if
the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes
of federal and State income taxation, the credit under this
Section shall be determined in accordance with the
determination of income and distributive share of income under
Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code.
    (c) The credit may not be carried back and may not reduce
the taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of
the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess
may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the
5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax
credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is
a tax liability. If there are credits for more than one year
that are available to offset the liability, the earlier credit
shall be applied first.
    (d) A tax credit awarded by the Department under the
Invest in Kids Act may not be claimed for any qualified
contribution for which the taxpayer claims a federal income
tax deduction.
(Source: P.A. 100-465, eff. 8-31-17.)
 
    (35 ILCS 5/901)
    Sec. 901. Collection authority.
    (a) In general. The Department shall collect the taxes

realized from the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 201 of this Act upon corporations during the preceding
month; and (iii) 6.16% of the net revenue realized from the tax
imposed by subsection (p) of Section 201 of this Act upon

Section, Section 8a, subdivision (h)(1) of Section 12a,
Section 13a.6, and items 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Section 15, all
money received by the Department under this Act, including
payments made to the Department by member jurisdictions
participating in the International Fuel Tax Agreement, shall
be deposited in a special fund in the State treasury, to be
known as the "Motor Fuel Tax Fund", and shall be used as
follows:
    (a) 2 1/2 cents per gallon of the tax collected on special
fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section 13a of this
Act shall be transferred to the State Construction Account
Fund in the State Treasury; the remainder of the tax collected
on special fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section
13a of this Act shall be deposited into the Road Fund;
    (a-1) Beginning on July 1, 2019, an amount equal to the
amount of tax collected under subsection (a) of Section 2 as a
result of the increase in the tax rate under Public Act 101-32
shall be transferred each month into the Transportation
Renewal Fund;
    (b) $420,000 shall be transferred each month to the State
Boating Act Fund to be used by the Department of Natural
Resources for the purposes specified in Article X of the Boat
Registration and Safety Act;
    (c) $3,500,000 shall be transferred each month to the
Grade Crossing Protection Fund to be used as follows: not less
than $12,000,000 each fiscal year shall be used for the
construction or reconstruction of rail highway grade
separation structures; $5,500,000 in fiscal year 2022
$2,250,000 in fiscal years 2004 through 2009 and $3,000,000 in
fiscal year 2010 and each fiscal year thereafter shall be
transferred to the Transportation Regulatory Fund and shall be
accounted for as part of the rail carrier portion of such funds
and shall be used to pay the cost of administration of the
Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in
connection with its duties under subsection (3) of Section
18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, with the remainder to
be used by the Department of Transportation upon order of the
Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the cost
apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the
interest of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets,
or pedestrian walkways in the county highway system, township
and district road system, or municipal street system as
defined in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time
to time be amended, for separation of grades, for
installation, construction or reconstruction of crossing
protection or reconstruction, alteration, relocation including
construction or improvement of any existing highway necessary
for access to property or improvement of any grade crossing
and grade crossing surface including the necessary highway
approaches thereto of any railroad across the highway or
public road, or for the installation, construction,
reconstruction, or maintenance of safety treatments to deter
trespassing or a pedestrian walkway over or under a railroad
right-of-way, as provided for in and in accordance with
Section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The Commission
may order up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing
Protection Fund moneys for the improvement of grade crossing
surfaces and up to $300,000 per year for the maintenance and
renewal of 4-quadrant gate vehicle detection systems located
at non-high speed rail grade crossings. In entering orders for
projects for which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection
Fund will be made, the Commission shall account for
expenditures authorized by the orders on a cash rather than an
accrual basis. For purposes of this requirement an "accrual
basis" assumes that the total cost of the project is expended
in the fiscal year in which the order is entered, while a "cash
basis" allocates the cost of the project among fiscal years as
expenditures are actually made. To meet the requirements of
this subsection, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall
develop annual and 5-year project plans of rail crossing
capital improvements that will be paid for with moneys from
the Grade Crossing Protection Fund. The annual project plan
shall identify projects for the succeeding fiscal year and the
5-year project plan shall identify projects for the 5 directly
succeeding fiscal years. The Commission shall submit the
annual and 5-year project plans for this Fund to the Governor,
the President of the Senate, the Senate Minority Leader, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Minority
Leader of the House of Representatives on the first Wednesday
in April of each year;

    districts;

    overpayment of decal fees paid under Section 13a.4 of this
    Act, and refunds provided for under the terms of the

    Vehicle Inspection Fund;
        (4.5) beginning on July 1, 2019, the costs of the
    Environmental Protection Agency for the administration of
    the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of 2005 shall be

corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
ascertained for such territory shall be added to the
population of the municipality as determined by the last
preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
for that municipality. If the population of any municipality
was not determined by the last Federal census preceding any
apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject
to approval of the Department which may make such corrections

counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
several counties in the State in the proportion which the
total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
proportion which the total mileage of such township or
district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for
road and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
extension of such tax against the taxable property in any such
road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the
value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
less. Beginning July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an
allocation shall be made for any road district if it levied a
tax for road and bridge purposes. In counties other than
DuPage County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the
extension of the tax against the taxable property in the road
district at a rate that is less than 0.08% of the value
thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
prior to the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
by the Department of Revenue, then the amount of the
allocation for that road district shall be a percentage of the
maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by
dividing the rate extended by the district by 0.08%. In DuPage
County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the extension of
the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
rate that is less than the lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of
the taxable property in the road district, based upon the
assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
Revenue, or (ii) a rate that will yield an amount equal to
$12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
district, then the amount of the allocation for the road
district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by
the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or (ii) the rate that
will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
the jurisdiction of the road district.
    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a
proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
road district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning
in 2011 and thereafter, if any road district has levied a
special tax for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in
an amount that would require extension at a rate of not less
than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property of that road
district, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the
road district, whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a
proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
road district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment
under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less
than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment
under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to
or less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then
any allotment under this Section shall be determined by the
other levy for road and bridge purposes.
    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section
and shall qualify the road district for an allotment under
this Section.
    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
tax allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a
full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain
its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
2011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
    As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
any road district, including a county unit road district,
provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
"township or district road" means any road in the township and
district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code.
For the purposes of this Section, "township or district road"
also includes such roads as are maintained by park districts,
forest preserve districts and conservation districts. The
Department of Transportation shall determine the mileage of
all township and district roads for the purposes of making
allotments and allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in
road districts.
    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may
invest these funds until their use is required and the
interest earned by these investments shall be limited to the
same uses as the principal funds.

    activism by the retirement systems.
        (2) If, following the Illinois Investment Policy
    Board's engagement pursuant to this subsection (e) with a
    restricted company, that company ceases activity that
    designates the company to be an Iran-restricted company, a
    Sudan-restricted company, a company that boycotts Israel,
    an expatriated entity, or a for-profit company that
    contracts to shelter migrant children, the company shall
    be removed from the list of restricted companies and the
    provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to it
    unless it resumes such activities.
    (f) Except as provided in subsection (f-1) of this Section
the retirement system shall adhere to the following procedures

    companies on the list of restricted companies in which the

    and fiduciarily responsible manner within 12 months after
    the company's most recent appearance on the list of
    restricted companies.
        (3) The retirement system may not acquire securities
    of restricted companies.
        (4) The provisions of this subsection (f) do not apply
    to the retirement system's indirect holdings or private

    submit letters to the managers of those investment funds
    containing restricted companies requesting that they
    consider removing the companies from the fund or create a
    similar actively managed fund having indirect holdings
    devoid of the companies. If the manager creates a similar
    fund, the retirement system shall replace all applicable
    investments with investments in the similar fund in an
    expedited timeframe consistent with prudent investing
    standards.
    (f-1) The retirement system shall adhere to the following
procedures for restricted companies that are expatriated
entities or for-profit companies that contract to shelter
migrant children:
        (1) To the extent that the retirement system believes
    that shareholder activism would be more impactful than
    divestment, the retirement system shall have the authority
    to engage with a restricted company prior to divesting.
        (2) Subject to any applicable State or Federal laws,
    methods of shareholder activism utilized by the retirement
    system may include, but are not limited to, bringing
    shareholder resolutions and proxy voting on shareholder
    resolutions.
        (3) The retirement system shall report on its
    shareholder activism and the outcome of such efforts to
    the Illinois Investment Policy Board by April 1 of each
    year.
        (4) If the engagement efforts of the retirement system
    are unsuccessful, then it shall adhere to the procedures
    under subsection (f) of this Section.
    (g) Upon request, and by April 1 of each year, each
retirement system shall provide the Illinois Investment Policy
Board with information regarding investments sold, redeemed,
divested, or withdrawn in compliance with this Section.
    (h) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the
contrary, a retirement system may cease divesting from
companies pursuant to subsection (f) if clear and convincing
evidence shows that the value of investments in such companies
becomes equal to or less than 0.5% of the market value of all
assets under management by the retirement system. For any
cessation of divestment authorized by this subsection (h), the
retirement system shall provide a written notice to the
Illinois Investment Policy Board in advance of the cessation
of divestment, setting forth the reasons and justification,
supported by clear and convincing evidence, for its decision
to cease divestment under subsection (f).
    (i) The cost associated with the activities of the
Illinois Investment Policy Board shall be borne by the boards
of each pension fund or investment board created under Article
15, 16, or 22A of this Code.
    (j) With respect to actions taken in compliance with this
Section, including all good-faith determinations regarding
companies as required by this Section, the retirement system
and Illinois Investment Policy Board are exempt from any
conflicting statutory or common law obligations, including any
fiduciary duties under this Article and any obligations with
respect to choice of asset managers, investment funds, or
investments for the retirement system's securities portfolios.
    (k) It is not the intent of the General Assembly in
enacting this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly to
cause divestiture from any company based in the United States
of America. The Illinois Investment Policy Board shall
consider this intent when developing or reviewing the list of
restricted companies.
    (l) If any provision of this amendatory Act of the 99th
General Assembly or its application to any person or
circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of that provision
or application does not affect other provisions or
applications of this amendatory Act of the 99th General
Assembly that can be given effect without the invalid
provision or application.
    If any provision of Public Act 100-551 or its application
to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity
of that provision or application does not affect other
provisions or applications of Public Act 100-551 that can be
given effect without the invalid provision or application.
    If any provision of this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly or its application to any person or
circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of that provision
or application does not affect other provisions or
applications of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly that can be given effect without the invalid
provision or application.

        (a) To accept from Chicago Park Fair, a corporation,

    charges for the use thereof. The charges so collected

    of the Authority and to pay the principal of and the
    interest upon any revenue bonds issued by the Authority.
    The Authority shall be subject to and comply with the Lake
    Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, the

    City of Chicago).
        (d) To enter into contracts treating in any manner
    with the objects and purposes of this Act.
        (e) To lease any buildings to the Adjutant General of

    immediate vesting of title under Article 20 of the Eminent
    Domain Act, to acquire any privately owned real or

    such taking of such public property shall, in the
    reasonable judgment of the owner, interfere with such rail
    transportation) for the lawful purposes of the Authority
    in Site A, at Navy Pier, and at Site B. Just compensation
    for property taken or acquired under this paragraph shall
    be paid in money or, notwithstanding any other provision
    of this Act and with the agreement of the owner of the
    property to be taken or acquired, the Authority may convey
    substitute property or interests in property or enter into
    agreements with the property owner, including leases,
    licenses, or concessions, with respect to any property
    owned by the Authority, or may provide for other lawful
    forms of just compensation to the owner. Any property
    acquired in condemnation proceedings shall be used only as
    provided in this Act. Except as otherwise provided by law,
    the City of Chicago shall have a right of first refusal
    prior to any sale of any such property by the Authority to
    a third party other than substitute property. The
    Authority shall develop and implement a relocation plan
    for businesses displaced as a result of the Authority's
    acquisition of property. The relocation plan shall be
    substantially similar to provisions of the Uniform
    Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act

    substitute property may be acquired by the Authority
    unless the mayor of the municipality in which the property
    is located certifies in writing that the acquisition is
    consistent with the municipality's land use and economic

    Section 5-75. The School Code is amended by changing
Sections 2-3.33, 2-3.192, and 18-8.15 as follows:
 
    (105 ILCS 5/2-3.33)  (from Ch. 122, par. 2-3.33)
    Sec. 2-3.33. Recomputation of claims. To recompute within
3 years from the final date for filing of a claim any claim for
general State aid reimbursement to any school district and one
year from the final date for filing of a claim for
evidence-based funding if the claim has been found to be
incorrect and to adjust subsequent claims accordingly, and to
recompute and adjust any such claims within 6 years from the
final date for filing when there has been an adverse court or
administrative agency decision on the merits affecting the tax
revenues of the school district. However, no such adjustment
shall be made regarding equalized assessed valuation unless
the district's equalized assessed valuation is changed by
greater than $250,000 or 2%. Any adjustments for claims
recomputed for the 2016-2017 school year and prior school
years shall be applied to the apportionment of evidence-based
funding in Section 18-8.15 of this Code beginning in the
2017-2018 school year and thereafter. However, the
recomputation of a claim for evidence-based funding for a
school district shall not require the recomputation of claims
for all districts, and the State Board of Education shall only
make recomputations of evidence-based funding for those
districts where an adjustment is required. The State Board is
authorized to and shall apply corrections to data used in
evidence-based funding calculations that may result in current
year adjustments and shall recover funds previously scheduled
to be distributed or previously distributed to an
Organizational Unit or specially funded unit during a fiscal
year in accordance with Section 18-8.15 of this Code.
    Except in the case of an adverse court or administrative
agency decision, no recomputation of a State aid claim shall
be made pursuant to this Section as a result of a reduction in
the assessed valuation of a school district from the assessed
valuation of the district reported to the State Board of
Education by the Department of Revenue under Section 18-8.05
or 18-8.15 of this Code unless the requirements of Section
16-15 of the Property Tax Code and Section 2-3.84 of this Code
are complied with in all respects.
    This paragraph applies to all requests for recomputation
of a general State aid or evidence-based funding claim
received after June 30, 2003. In recomputing a general State
aid or evidence-based funding claim that was originally
calculated using an extension limitation equalized assessed
valuation under paragraph (3) of subsection (G) of Section
18-8.05 of this Code or Section 18-8.15 of this Code, a
qualifying reduction in equalized assessed valuation shall be
deducted from the extension limitation equalized assessed
valuation that was used in calculating the original claim.
    From the total amount of general State aid or
evidence-based funding to be provided to districts,
adjustments as a result of recomputation under this Section
together with adjustments under Section 2-3.84 must not exceed
$25 million, in the aggregate for all districts under both
Sections combined, of the general State aid or evidence-based
funding appropriation in any fiscal year; if necessary,
amounts shall be prorated among districts. If it is necessary
to prorate claims under this paragraph, then that portion of
each prorated claim that is approved but not paid in the
current fiscal year may be resubmitted as a valid claim in the
following fiscal year.

    effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
    Assembly.
        (2) The district's total equalized assessed value is
    significantly derived from a single taxpayer.
        (3) The district's administrative office is located in
    a county with less than 30,000 inhabitants.
        (4) The district has a total student enrollment of
    less than 500 students as published on the most recent
    Illinois School Report Card.
        (5) The district has a low income concentration of at
    least 45% as published on the most recent Illinois School

    (105 ILCS 5/18-8.15)
    Sec. 18-8.15. Evidence-Based Funding for student success
for the 2017-2018 and subsequent school years.
    (a) General provisions.
        (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
    June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
    through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
    to ensure the educational development of all persons to
    the limits of their capacities in accordance with Section
    1 of Article X of the Constitution of the State of
    Illinois. To accomplish that objective, this Section
    creates a method of funding public education that is
    evidence-based; is sufficient to ensure every student
    receives a meaningful opportunity to learn irrespective of
    race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or
    community-income level; and is sustainable and
    predictable. When fully funded under this Section, every
    school shall have the resources, based on what the
    evidence indicates is needed, to:
            (A) provide all students with a high quality
        education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
        and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
        programs that will allow them to become competitive
        workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
        this State, and active members of our national
        democracy;
            (B) ensure all students receive the education they
        need to graduate from high school with the skills
        required to pursue post-secondary education and
        training for a rewarding career;
            (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
        achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
        students by raising the performance of at-risk
        students and not by reducing standards; and
            (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
        assume the primary responsibility to fund public
        education and simultaneously relieve the
        disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
        to fund schools.
        (2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
    Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
    this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
    this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
    of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both
    legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
    this Section, there are 4 major components of the
    Evidence-Based Funding model:
            (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
        Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
        considers the costs to implement research-based
        activities, the unit's student demographics, and
        regional wage differences.
            (B) Second, the model calculates each
        Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
        each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
        toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
            (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
        the State currently contributes to the Organizational
        Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
        determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
        funding.
            (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
        allocates new State funding to those Organizational
        Units that are least well-funded, considering both
        Local Capacity and State funding, in relation to their
        Adequacy Target.
        (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
    this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
    for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
    expenditures by law.
        (4) As used in this Section, the following terms shall
    have the meanings ascribed in this paragraph (4):
        "Adequacy Target" is defined in paragraph (1) of
    subsection (b) of this Section.
        "Adjusted EAV" is defined in paragraph (4) of
    subsection (d) of this Section.
        "Adjusted Local Capacity Target" is defined in
    paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Section.
        "Adjusted Operating Tax Rate" means a tax rate for all
    Organizational Units, for which the State Superintendent
    shall calculate and subtract for the Operating Tax Rate a
    transportation rate based on total expenses for
    transportation services under this Code, as reported on
    the most recent Annual Financial Report in Pupil
    Transportation Services, function 2550 in both the
    Education and Transportation funds and functions 4110 and
    4120 in the Transportation fund, less any corresponding
    fiscal year State of Illinois scheduled payments excluding
    net adjustments for prior years for regular, vocational,
    or special education transportation reimbursement pursuant
    to Section 29-5 or subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of
    this Code divided by the Adjusted EAV. If an
    Organizational Unit's corresponding fiscal year State of
    Illinois scheduled payments excluding net adjustments for
    prior years for regular, vocational, or special education
    transportation reimbursement pursuant to Section 29-5 or
    subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of this Code exceed the
    total transportation expenses, as defined in this
    paragraph, no transportation rate shall be subtracted from
    the Operating Tax Rate.
        "Allocation Rate" is defined in paragraph (3) of
    subsection (g) of this Section.
        "Alternative School" means a public school that is
    created and operated by a regional superintendent of
    schools and approved by the State Board.
        "Applicable Tax Rate" is defined in paragraph (1) of
    subsection (d) of this Section.
        "Assessment" means any of those benchmark, progress
    monitoring, formative, diagnostic, and other assessments,
    in addition to the State accountability assessment, that
    assist teachers' needs in understanding the skills and
    meeting the needs of the students they serve.
        "Assistant principal" means a school administrator
    duly endorsed to be employed as an assistant principal in
    this State.
        "At-risk student" means a student who is at risk of
    not meeting the Illinois Learning Standards or not
    graduating from elementary or high school and who
    demonstrates a need for vocational support or social
    services beyond that provided by the regular school
    program. All students included in an Organizational Unit's
    Low-Income Count, as well as all English learner and
    disabled students attending the Organizational Unit, shall
    be considered at-risk students under this Section.
        "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" for fiscal year
    2018 means, for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the
    average number of students (grades K through 12) reported
    to the State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit
    on October 1 in the immediately preceding school year,
    plus the pre-kindergarten students who receive special
    education services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to
    the State Board on December 1 in the immediately preceding
    school year, or the average number of students (grades K
    through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the
    Organizational Unit on October 1, plus the
    pre-kindergarten students who receive special education
    services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to the State
    Board on December 1, for each of the immediately preceding
    3 school years. For fiscal year 2019 and each subsequent
    fiscal year, "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" means,
    for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the average
    number of students (grades K through 12) reported to the
    State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit on
    October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding school
    year, plus the pre-kindergarten students who receive
    special education services as reported to the State Board
    on October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding
    school year, or the average number of students (grades K
    through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the
    Organizational Unit on October 1 and March 1, plus the
    pre-kindergarten students who receive special education
    services as reported to the State Board on October 1 and
    March 1, for each of the immediately preceding 3 school
    years. For the purposes of this definition, "enrolled in
    the Organizational Unit" means the number of students
    reported to the State Board who are enrolled in schools
    within the Organizational Unit that the student attends or
    would attend if not placed or transferred to another
    school or program to receive needed services. For the
    purposes of calculating "ASE", all students, grades K
    through 12, excluding those attending kindergarten for a
    half day and students attending an alternative education
    program operated by a regional office of education or
    intermediate service center, shall be counted as 1.0. All
    students attending kindergarten for a half day shall be
    counted as 0.5, unless in 2017 by June 15 or by March 1 in
    subsequent years, the school district reports to the State
    Board of Education the intent to implement full-day
    kindergarten district-wide for all students, then all
    students attending kindergarten shall be counted as 1.0.
    Special education pre-kindergarten students shall be
    counted as 0.5 each. If the State Board does not collect or
    has not collected both an October 1 and March 1 enrollment
    count by grade or a December 1 collection of special
    education pre-kindergarten students as of August 31, 2017
    (the effective date of Public Act 100-465), it shall
    establish such collection for all future years. For any
    year in which a count by grade level was collected only
    once, that count shall be used as the single count
    available for computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for
    programs operated by a regional office of education or an
    intermediate service center must be calculated using the
    Evidence-Based Funding formula under this Section for the
    2019-2020 school year and each subsequent school year
    until separate adequacy formulas are developed and adopted
    for each type of program. ASE for a program operated by a
    regional office of education or an intermediate service
    center must be determined by the March 1 enrollment for
    the program. For the 2019-2020 school year, the ASE used
    in the calculation must be the first-year ASE and, in that
    year only, the assignment of students served by a regional
    office of education or intermediate service center shall
    not result in a reduction of the March enrollment for any
    school district. For the 2020-2021 school year, the ASE
    must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the 2-year
    average ASE. Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, the
    ASE must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the
    3-year average ASE. School districts shall submit the data
    for the ASE calculation to the State Board within 45 days
    of the dates required in this Section for submission of
    enrollment data in order for it to be included in the ASE
    calculation. For fiscal year 2018 only, the ASE
    calculation shall include only enrollment taken on October
    1. In recognition of the impact of COVID-19, the
    definition of "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" shall
    be adjusted for calculations under this Section for fiscal
    years 2022 through 2024. For fiscal years 2022 through
    2024, the enrollment used in the calculation of ASE
    representing the 2020-2021 school year shall be the
    greater of the enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year or
    the 2019-2020 school year.

        the combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
        disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
        students to cover instructional material costs.
            (P) Assessment investments. Each Organizational
        Unit shall receive $25 per student of the combined ASE
        of pre-kindergarten children with disabilities and all
        kindergarten through grade 12 students to cover
        assessment costs.
            (Q) Computer technology and equipment investments.
        Each Organizational Unit shall receive $285.50 per
        student of the combined ASE of pre-kindergarten
        children with disabilities and all kindergarten
        through grade 12 students to cover computer technology
        and equipment costs. For the 2018-2019 school year and
        subsequent school years, Organizational Units assigned
        to Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the prior school year shall
        receive an additional $285.50 per student of the
        combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
        disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
        students to cover computer technology and equipment
        costs in the Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target.
        The State Board may establish additional requirements
        for Organizational Unit expenditures of funds received
        pursuant to this subparagraph (Q), including a
        requirement that funds received pursuant to this
        subparagraph (Q) may be used only for serving the
        technology needs of the district. It is the intent of
        Public Act 100-465 that all Tier 1 and Tier 2 districts
        receive the addition to their Adequacy Target in the
        following year, subject to compliance with the
        requirements of the State Board.
            (R) Student activities investments. Each
        Organizational Unit shall receive the following
        funding amounts to cover student activities: $100 per
        kindergarten through grade 5 ASE student in elementary
        school, plus $200 per ASE student in middle school,
        plus $675 per ASE student in high school.
            (S) Maintenance and operations investments. Each
        Organizational Unit shall receive $1,038 per student
        of the combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
        disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
        students for day-to-day maintenance and operations
        expenditures, including salary, supplies, and
        materials, as well as purchased services, but
        excluding employee benefits. The proportion of salary
        for the application of a Regionalization Factor and
        the calculation of benefits is equal to $352.92.
            (T) Central office investments. Each
        Organizational Unit shall receive $742 per student of
        the combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
        disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
        students to cover central office operations, including
        administrators and classified personnel charged with
        managing the instructional programs, business and
        operations of the school district, and security
        personnel. The proportion of salary for the
        application of a Regionalization Factor and the
        calculation of benefits is equal to $368.48.
            (U) Employee benefit investments. Each
        Organizational Unit shall receive 30% of the total of
        all salary-calculated elements of the Adequacy Target,
        excluding substitute teachers and student activities
        investments, to cover benefit costs. For central
        office and maintenance and operations investments, the
        benefit calculation shall be based upon the salary
        proportion of each investment. If at any time the
        responsibility for funding the employer normal cost of
        teacher pensions is assigned to school districts, then
        that amount certified by the Teachers' Retirement
        System of the State of Illinois to be paid by the
        Organizational Unit for the preceding school year
        shall be added to the benefit investment. For any
        fiscal year in which a school district organized under
        Article 34 of this Code is responsible for paying the
        employer normal cost of teacher pensions, then that
        amount of its employer normal cost plus the amount for
        retiree health insurance as certified by the Public
        School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of
        Chicago to be paid by the school district for the
        preceding school year that is statutorily required to
        cover employer normal costs and the amount for retiree
        health insurance shall be added to the 30% specified
        in this subparagraph (U). The Teachers' Retirement
        System of the State of Illinois and the Public School
        Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago shall
        submit such information as the State Superintendent
        may require for the calculations set forth in this
        subparagraph (U).
            (V) Additional investments in low-income students.
        In addition to and not in lieu of all other funding
        under this paragraph (2), each Organizational Unit
        shall receive funding based on the average teacher
        salary for grades K through 12 to cover the costs of:
                (i) one FTE intervention teacher (tutor)
            position for every 125 Low-Income Count students;
                (ii) one FTE pupil support staff position for
            every 125 Low-Income Count students;
                (iii) one FTE extended day teacher position
            for every 120 Low-Income Count students; and
                (iv) one FTE summer school teacher position
            for every 120 Low-Income Count students.
            (W) Additional investments in English learner
        students. In addition to and not in lieu of all other
        funding under this paragraph (2), each Organizational
        Unit shall receive funding based on the average
        teacher salary for grades K through 12 to cover the
        costs of:
                (i) one FTE intervention teacher (tutor)
            position for every 125 English learner students;
                (ii) one FTE pupil support staff position for
            every 125 English learner students;
                (iii) one FTE extended day teacher position
            for every 120 English learner students;
                (iv) one FTE summer school teacher position
            for every 120 English learner students; and
                (v) one FTE core teacher position for every
            100 English learner students.
            (X) Special education investments. Each
        Organizational Unit shall receive funding based on the
        average teacher salary for grades K through 12 to
        cover special education as follows:
                (i) one FTE teacher position for every 141
            combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
            disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
            students;
                (ii) one FTE instructional assistant for every
            141 combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children with
            disabilities and all kindergarten through grade 12
            students; and
                (iii) one FTE psychologist position for every
            1,000 combined ASE of pre-kindergarten children
            with disabilities and all kindergarten through
            grade 12 students.
        (3) For calculating the salaries included within the
    Essential Elements, the State Superintendent shall
    annually calculate average salaries to the nearest dollar
    using the employment information system data maintained by
    the State Board, limited to public schools only and
    excluding special education and vocational cooperatives,
    schools operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice,
    and charter schools, for the following positions:
            (A) Teacher for grades K through 8.
            (B) Teacher for grades 9 through 12.
            (C) Teacher for grades K through 12.
            (D) School counselor for grades K through 8.
            (E) School counselor for grades 9 through 12.
            (F) School counselor for grades K through 12.
            (G) Social worker.
            (H) Psychologist.
            (I) Librarian.
            (J) Nurse.
            (K) Principal.
            (L) Assistant principal.
        For the purposes of this paragraph (3), "teacher"
    includes core teachers, specialist and elective teachers,
    instructional facilitators, tutors, special education
    teachers, pupil support staff teachers, English learner
    teachers, extended day teachers, and summer school
    teachers. Where specific grade data is not required for
    the Essential Elements, the average salary for
    corresponding positions shall apply. For substitute
    teachers, the average teacher salary for grades K through
    12 shall apply.
        For calculating the salaries included within the
    Essential Elements for positions not included within EIS
    Data, the following salaries shall be used in the first
    year of implementation of Evidence-Based Funding:
            (i) school site staff, $30,000; and
            (ii) non-instructional assistant, instructional
        assistant, library aide, library media tech, or
        supervisory aide: $25,000.
        In the second and subsequent years of implementation
    of Evidence-Based Funding, the amounts in items (i) and
    (ii) of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the
    ECI.
        The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
    determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
    and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of
    subsection (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
    Regionalization Factor.
    (c) Local Capacity calculation.
        (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
    represents an amount of funding it is assumed to
    contribute toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the
    Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
    Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
    Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
    (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
    to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
    calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
    subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
    Capacity Target.
        (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
    Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained
    by multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
    Ratio.
            (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
        Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
        determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
        paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
        resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
        Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
        Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
        (C) of this paragraph (2).
            (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
        in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
        its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
        its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
        adjusted as follows:
                (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
            kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
            further adjustments shall be made;
                (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
            kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
            multiplied by 9/13;
                (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
            9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
            multiplied by 4/13; and
                (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
            different grade configuration than those specified
            in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
            (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
            comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
            (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
        percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
        Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
        Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
        in a percentile ranking to determine each
        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
        Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
        Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
        percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
        be calculated using the standard normal distribution
        of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
        weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
        of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
        any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
        shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
        Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
        the public university that are allocated to the
        Laboratory School. For programs operated by a regional
        office of education or an intermediate service center,
        the Local Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in
        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
        school districts that are allocated to the regional
        office of education or intermediate service center.
        The weighted mean for the Local Capacity Percentage
        shall be determined by multiplying each Organizational
        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
        creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
        of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
        ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
        deviation shall be determined by taking the square
        root of the weighted variance of all Organizational
        Units' Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is
        calculated by squaring the difference between each
        unit's Local Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean,
        then multiplying the variance for each unit times the
        ASE for the unit to create a weighted variance for each
        unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
        dividing by the total ASE of all units.
            (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
        Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
        shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
        remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
        subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
        Pension Code in a given year or (ii) the board of
        education's remaining contribution pursuant to
        paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
        the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
        cost portion of the required contribution and amount
        allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
        17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
        In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified
        to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
        Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
        (ii) shall be certified to the State Board of
        Education by the Public School Teachers' Pension and
        Retirement Fund of the City of Chicago.
        (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
    than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
    shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
    calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
    Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
    the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
    Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
    equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
    Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
    multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
        As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
    Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
    Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
    resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
    Adequacy Target.
    (d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV
for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
        (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
    product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
    An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
    Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the
    Organizational Unit.
        (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
    equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
    property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
    the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
    subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
    determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
    accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
    which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
    of calculating Local Capacity.
        (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
    of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
    value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
    Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
    Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
    extending taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit
    as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the
    limiting rate for all Organizational Units subject to
    property tax extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
            (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
        equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
        each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
        partially within a county that is or was subject to the
        provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
        Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
        which the homestead exemption allowed under Section
        15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
        property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
        the total amount that would have been allowed in that
        Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
        Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
        in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
        in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
        (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
        taxable year of all additional exemptions under
        Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
        with a household income of $30,000 or less. The county
        clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
        provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
        Tax Code shall annually calculate and certify to the
        Department of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all
        homestead exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or
        15-177 of the Property Tax Code and all amounts of
        additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the
        Property Tax Code for owners with a household income
        of $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this
        subparagraph (A) that if the general homestead
        exemption for a parcel of property is determined under
        Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
        rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
        EAV shall not be affected by the difference, if any,
        between the amount of the general homestead exemption
        allowed for that parcel of property under Section
        15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the
        amount that would have been allowed had the general
        homestead exemption for that parcel of property been
        determined under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
        Code. It is further the intent of this subparagraph
        (A) that if additional exemptions are allowed under
        Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
        with a household income of less than $30,000, then the
        calculation of EAV shall not be affected by the
        difference, if any, because of those additional
        exemptions.
            (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
        Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
        which a municipality has adopted tax increment
        allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
        Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
        11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
        Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
        Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
        real property located in any such project area that is
        attributable to an increase above the total initial
        EAV of such property shall be used as part of the EAV
        of the Organizational Unit, until such time as all
        redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
        provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment
        Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
        of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose
        of the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total
        initial EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower,
        shall be used until such time as all redevelopment
        project costs have been paid.
            (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
        valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
        subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
        or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
        district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
        any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
        Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
        grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a
        district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or
        by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
        12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the
        amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
        of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
        percentage rates for district type as specified in
        this subparagraph (B-5).
            (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
        Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
        lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
        for property within the partial elementary unit
        district for elementary purposes, as defined in
        Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
        assessed valuation for property within the partial
        elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
        defined in Article 11E of this Code.
        (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
    average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
    or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if the EAV in
    the immediately preceding year has declined by 10% or more
    compared to the 3-year average. In the event of
    Organizational Unit reorganization, consolidation, or
    annexation, the Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV for the
    first 3 years after such change shall be as follows: the
    most current EAV shall be used in the first year, the
    average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the immediately
    preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or more compared
    to the 2-year average for the second year, and a 3-year
    average EAV or its EAV in the immediately preceding year
    if the Adjusted EAV declines by 10% or more compared to the
    3-year average for the third year. For any school district
    whose EAV in the immediately preceding year is used in
    calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
    shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
    preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
    that year represents a decline of 10% or more compared to
    the 2-year average.
        "PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
    Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
    described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
    calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
    Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
    PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
    product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
    the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
    of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding
    under this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
    Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved
    or does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant
    to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the
    Base Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product
    of the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
    calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
    this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
    this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the
    percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
    for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
    United States Department of Labor for the 12-month
    calendar year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the
    equalized assessed valuation of new property, annexed
    property, and recovered tax increment value and minus the
    equalized assessed valuation of disconnected property.
        As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
    "recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings
    set forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
    (e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
        (1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
    Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
    Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
    Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
    2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
    specified appropriation amounts described in this
    paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated
    by the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code
    (now repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act
    99-524 (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code
    (funding for children requiring special education
    services); Section 14-13.01 of this Code (special
    education facilities and staffing), except for
    reimbursement of the cost of transportation pursuant to
    Section 14-13.01; Section 14C-12 of this Code (English
    learners); and Section 18-4.3 of this Code (summer
    school), based on an appropriation level of $13,121,600.
    For a school district organized under Article 34 of this
    Code, the Base Funding Minimum also includes (i) the funds
    allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
    of this Code attributable to funding programs authorized
    by the Sections of this Code listed in the preceding
    sentence and (ii) the difference between (I) the funds
    allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
    of this Code attributable to the funding programs
    authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public special
    education reimbursement), subsection (b) of Section
    14-13.01 (special education transportation), Section 29-5
    (transportation), Section 2-3.80 (agricultural
    education), Section 2-3.66 (truants' alternative
    education), Section 2-3.62 (educational service centers),
    and Section 14-7.03 (special education - orphanage) of
    this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood Hunger Relief
    Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the school
    district's actual expenditures for its non-public special
    education, special education transportation,
    transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
    alternative education, services that would otherwise be
    performed by a regional office of education, special
    education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
    most recently calculated and reported pursuant to
    subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
    Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $625,500.
    For programs operated by a regional office of education or
    an intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum
    must be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
    programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
    pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
    3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
    2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) and
    administered by a regional office of education or an
    intermediate service center must have an initial Base
    Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
    ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
    in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
    existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
    operated by a regional office of education or an
    intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
    receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
    next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
    Organizational Units under subsection (g).
        (2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
    Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
    Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
    Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
    Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
    any amount received by a school district pursuant to
    Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
        For the 2022-2023 school year, the Base Funding
    Minimum of Organizational Units shall be the amounts
    recalculated by the State Board of Education for Fiscal
    Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2022 that were necessary due
    to average student enrollment errors for districts
    organized under Article 34 of this Code, plus the Fiscal
    Year 2022 property tax relief grants provided under
    Section 2-3.170 of this Code, ensuring each Organizational
    Unit has the correct amount of resources for Fiscal Year
    2023 Evidence-Based Funding calculations and that Fiscal
    Year 2023 Evidence-Based Funding Distributions are made in
    accordance with this Section.
        (3) Subject to approval by the General Assembly as
    provided in this paragraph (3), an Organizational Unit
    that meets all of the following criteria, as determined by
    the State Board, shall have District Intervention Money
    added to its Base Funding Minimum at the time the Base
    Funding Minimum is calculated by the State Board:
            (A) The Organizational Unit is operating under an
        Independent Authority under Section 2-3.25f-5 of this
        Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
        the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
        order for a minimum of 4 school years.
            (B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
        Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous
        school year under paragraph (3) of subsection (g) of
        this Section.
            (C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
        sustainability through a 5-year financial and
        strategic plan.
            (D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
        progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
        areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
        As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
    the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
    summative designation, any accreditations of the
    Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
    financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
        If the State Board determines that an Organizational
    Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
    it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
    than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board
    makes it determination, on the amount of District
    Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
    Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
    State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
    joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
    Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
    within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
    the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
    approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of
    District Intervention Money to be added to the
    Organizational Unit's Base Funding Minimum, the District
    Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
    Minimum annually thereafter.
        For the first 4 years following the initial year that
    the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
    met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
    received funding under this Section, the Organizational
    Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
    November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
    strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
    (3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
    past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
    must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
    year and the approved budget financial data for the
    current year. The plan shall be developed according to the
    guidelines presented to the Organizational Unit by the
    State Board. The plan shall further include financial
    projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
    discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
    Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
    demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
    if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
    annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
    or other financial information as required by law, the
    State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel
    under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the
    Organizational Unit already has a Financial Oversight
    Panel, the State Board may extend the duration of the
    Panel.
    (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
        (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
    Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
    to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
    funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
    this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
    Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
    are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
    subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
    Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
    account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
    concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
    this subsection (f).
        (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
    equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
    Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
    Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
    Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
        (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
    Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
    of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
    Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
    Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
    Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
    shall not include any portion of general State aid
    allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
    tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
        (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
    is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
    equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
    Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
    product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
    Percent of Adequacy.
    (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
        (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
    Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
    equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
    allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
    subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
    Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
    places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
    accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
    based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
    Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
    tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
    all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
    of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals
    0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding
    equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
    Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
    State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
    the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
    Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
    this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
    Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
    in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
    Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
    Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
    paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
    Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
    the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
    amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
    the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
    percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
    4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
    product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
    Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
    (g).
        (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for
    all Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational
    Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
    Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
    Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
    Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
    per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
    get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
    funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
    Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
    Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
    the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
    Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
    Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
    districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
        (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
    tiers as follows:
            (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
        Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
        Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
        Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
        Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
        of this subsection (g).
            (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
        other Organizational Units, except for Specially
        Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
        0.90.
            (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
        Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
            (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
        with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
        (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
    determined as follows:
            (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
            (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
        following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
        by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
        Organizational Units, unless the result of such
        equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
        equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
        Allocation Rate is 1.0.
            (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
        following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
        Organizational Units.
            (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
        following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
        Organizational Units.
        (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
            (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that
        allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
        with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
            (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
            (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
        (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
    greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
    allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
    funding may be identified.
        (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
    receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
    remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
    Tier 4 Organizational Units.
        (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
    Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
    direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
    100-465 from any of the funding sources included within
    the definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
    portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
    to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
    determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
    year ASE of the Organizational Units.
        (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
    education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
    Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
    redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
    school district and the cooperative must include the
    amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be
    reapportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify the
    State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement upon
    withdrawal.
        (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
    a target for State funding that will keep pace with
    inflation and continue to advance equity through the
    Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
    funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
    $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
    State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
    $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
    than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
    counted toward the Minimum Funding Level. If the sum of
    New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax Relief
    Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level, than
    funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
    manner:
            (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
        Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
        Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
            (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
        Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
        Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
        exhausted.
            (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
        Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
        Tier 4 and Tier 3.
            (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
        Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
        Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
        Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
        to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
        this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
        State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
        (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
    fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
    any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated
    for purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a
    maximum of $50,000,000.
        (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
    appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
    implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
    receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
    paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
    harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
    the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
    received in accordance with this Section in the prior
    fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
    Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
    per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
    in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
    divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
    Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
    Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
    relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
    Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
    to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
    amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
    established in the first year of implementation of this
    Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
    districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
    equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
    divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
        (11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
    adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
    subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
    to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to
    the nearest whole dollar.
    (h) State Superintendent administration of funding and
district submission requirements.
        (1) The State Superintendent shall, in accordance with
    appropriations made by the General Assembly, meet the
    funding obligations created under this Section.
        (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
    Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit and Net State
    Contribution Target for each Organizational Unit under
    this Section. No Evidence-Based Funding shall be
    distributed within an Organizational Unit without the
    approval of the unit's school board.
        (3) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
    and report to each Organizational Unit the unit's
    aggregate financial adequacy amount, which shall be the
    sum of the Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit.
    The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
    separately for each Organizational Unit the unit's total
    State funds allocated for its students with disabilities.
    The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
    separately for each Organizational Unit the amount of
    funding and applicable FTE calculated for each Essential
    Element of the unit's Adequacy Target.
        (4) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
    and report to each Organizational Unit the amount the unit
    must expend on special education and bilingual education
    and computer technology and equipment for Organizational
    Units assigned to Tier 1 or Tier 2 that received an
    additional $285.50 per student computer technology and
    equipment investment grant to their Adequacy Target
    pursuant to the unit's Base Funding Minimum, Special
    Education Allocation, Bilingual Education Allocation, and
    computer technology and equipment investment allocation.
        (5) Moneys distributed under this Section shall be
    calculated on a school year basis, but paid on a fiscal
    year basis, with payments beginning in August and
    extending through June. Unless otherwise provided, the
    moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be
    distributed in 22 equal payments at least 2 times monthly
    to each Organizational Unit. If moneys appropriated for
    any fiscal year are distributed other than monthly, the
    distribution shall be on the same basis for each
    Organizational Unit.
        (6) Any school district that fails, for any given
    school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
    Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
    or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
    operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
    shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
    the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment
    of the school district. "Recognized school" means any
    public school that meets the standards for recognition by
    the State Board. A school district or attendance center
    not having recognition status at the end of a school term
    is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
    claim that was filed while it was recognized.
        (7) School district claims filed under this Section
    are subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12 of this Code,
    except as otherwise provided in this Section.
        (8) Each fiscal year, the State Superintendent shall
    calculate for each Organizational Unit an amount of its
    Base Funding Minimum and Evidence-Based Funding that shall
    be deemed attributable to the provision of special
    educational facilities and services, as defined in Section
    14-1.08 of this Code, in a manner that ensures compliance
    with maintenance of State financial support requirements
    under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
    Act. An Organizational Unit must use such funds only for
    the provision of special educational facilities and
    services, as defined in Section 14-1.08 of this Code, and
    must comply with any expenditure verification procedures
    adopted by the State Board.
        (9) All Organizational Units in this State must submit
    annual spending plans by the end of September of each year
    to the State Board as part of the annual budget process,
    which shall describe how each Organizational Unit will
    utilize the Base Funding Minimum and Evidence-Based
    Funding it receives from this State under this Section
    with specific identification of the intended utilization
    of Low-Income, English learner, and special education
    resources. Additionally, the annual spending plans of each
    Organizational Unit shall describe how the Organizational
    Unit expects to achieve student growth and how the
    Organizational Unit will achieve State education goals, as
    defined by the State Board. The State Superintendent may,
    from time to time, identify additional requisites for
    Organizational Units to satisfy when compiling the annual
    spending plans required under this subsection (h). The
    format and scope of annual spending plans shall be
    developed by the State Superintendent and the State Board
    of Education. School districts that serve students under
    Article 14C of this Code shall continue to submit
    information as required under Section 14C-12 of this Code.
        (10) No later than January 1, 2018, the State
    Superintendent shall develop a 5-year strategic plan for
    all Organizational Units to help in planning for adequacy
    funding under this Section. The State Superintendent shall
    submit the plan to the Governor and the General Assembly,
    as provided in Section 3.1 of the General Assembly
    Organization Act. The plan shall include recommendations
    for:
            (A) a framework for collaborative, professional,
        innovative, and 21st century learning environments
        using the Evidence-Based Funding model;
            (B) ways to prepare and support this State's
        educators for successful instructional careers;
            (C) application and enhancement of the current
        financial accountability measures, the approved State
        plan to comply with the federal Every Student Succeeds
        Act, and the Illinois Balanced Accountability Measures
        in relation to student growth and elements of the
        Evidence-Based Funding model; and
            (D) implementation of an effective school adequacy
        funding system based on projected and recommended
        funding levels from the General Assembly.
        (11) On an annual basis, the State Superintendent must
    recalibrate all of the following per pupil elements of the
    Adequacy Target and applied to the formulas, based on the
    study of average expenses and as reported in the most
    recent annual financial report:
            (A) Gifted under subparagraph (M) of paragraph (2)
        of subsection (b).
            (B) Instructional materials under subparagraph (O)
        of paragraph (2) of subsection (b).
            (C) Assessment under subparagraph (P) of paragraph
        (2) of subsection (b).
            (D) Student activities under subparagraph (R) of
        paragraph (2) of subsection (b).
            (E) Maintenance and operations under subparagraph
        (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b).
            (F) Central office under subparagraph (T) of
        paragraph (2) of subsection (b).
    (i) Professional Review Panel.
        (1) A Professional Review Panel is created to study
    and review topics related to the implementation and effect
    of Evidence-Based Funding, as assigned by a joint
    resolution or Public Act of the General Assembly or a

        (4) (Blank).
        (5) Within 5 years after the implementation of this
    Section, and every 5 years thereafter, the Panel shall
    complete an evaluative study of the entire Evidence-Based
    Funding model, including an assessment of whether or not
    the formula is achieving State goals. The Panel shall
    report to the State Board, the General Assembly, and the
    Governor on the findings of the study.
        (6) (Blank).
        (7) To ensure that (i) the Adequacy Target calculation
    under subsection (b) accurately reflects the needs of
    students living in poverty or attending schools located in
    areas of high poverty, (ii) racial equity within the
    Evidence-Based Funding formula is explicitly explored and
    advanced, and (iii) the funding goals of the formula
    distribution system established under this Section are
    sufficient to provide adequate funding for every student
    and to fully fund every school in this State, the Panel
    shall review the Essential Elements under paragraph (2) of
    subsection (b). The Panel shall consider all of the

industry. The State Board shall adopt rules as necessary to
implement the funding formula and distribute the funds to
Illinois community colleges.
 
    Section 5-85. The Higher Education Student Assistance Act
is amended by changing Sections 35, 38, and 77 as follows:
 
    (110 ILCS 947/35)
    Sec. 35. Monetary award program.
    (a) The Commission shall, each year, receive and consider
applications for grant assistance under this Section. Subject
to a separate appropriation for such purposes, an applicant is
eligible for a grant under this Section when the Commission
finds that the applicant:
        (1) is a resident of this State and a citizen or
    permanent resident of the United States; and
        (2) is enrolled or has been accepted for enrollment in
    a qualified institution for the purpose of obtaining a
    degree, certificate, or other credential offered by the
    institution, as applicable; and
        (3) in the absence of grant assistance, will be
    deterred by financial considerations from completing an
    educational program at the qualified institution of his or
    her choice.
    (b) The Commission shall award renewals only upon the
student's application and upon the Commission's finding that
the applicant:
        (1) has remained a student in good standing;
        (2) remains a resident of this State; and
        (3) is in a financial situation that continues to
    warrant assistance.
    (c) All grants shall be applicable only to tuition and
necessary fee costs. The Commission shall determine the grant
amount for each student, which shall not exceed the smallest
of the following amounts:
        (1) subject to appropriation, $5,468 for fiscal year
    2009, $5,968 for fiscal year 2010, and $6,468 for fiscal
    year 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter through fiscal
    year 2022, and $8,508 for fiscal year 2023 and each fiscal
    year thereafter, or such lesser amount as the Commission
    finds to be available, during an academic year;
        (2) the amount which equals 2 semesters or 3 quarters
    tuition and other necessary fees required generally by the
    institution of all full-time undergraduate students; or
        (3) such amount as the Commission finds to be
    appropriate in view of the applicant's financial
    resources.
    Subject to appropriation, the maximum grant amount for
students not subject to subdivision (1) of this subsection (c)
must be increased by the same percentage as any increase made
by law to the maximum grant amount under subdivision (1) of
this subsection (c).
    "Tuition and other necessary fees" as used in this Section
include the customary charge for instruction and use of
facilities in general, and the additional fixed fees charged
for specified purposes, which are required generally of
nongrant recipients for each academic period for which the
grant applicant actually enrolls, but do not include fees
payable only once or breakage fees and other contingent
deposits which are refundable in whole or in part. The
Commission may prescribe, by rule not inconsistent with this
Section, detailed provisions concerning the computation of
tuition and other necessary fees.
    (d) No applicant, including those presently receiving
scholarship assistance under this Act, is eligible for
monetary award program consideration under this Act after
receiving a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent of 135
semester credit hours of award payments.
    (d-5) In this subsection (d-5), "renewing applicant" means
a student attending an institution of higher learning who
received a Monetary Award Program grant during the prior
academic year. Beginning with the processing of applications
for the 2020-2021 academic year, the Commission shall annually
publish a priority deadline date for renewing applicants.
Subject to appropriation, a renewing applicant who files by
the published priority deadline date shall receive a grant if
he or she continues to meet the eligibility requirements under
this Section. A renewing applicant's failure to apply by the
priority deadline date established under this subsection (d-5)
shall not disqualify him or her from receiving a grant if
sufficient funding is available to provide awards after that
date.
    (e) The Commission, in determining the number of grants to
be offered, shall take into consideration past experience with
the rate of grant funds unclaimed by recipients. The
Commission shall notify applicants that grant assistance is
contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
    (e-5) The General Assembly finds and declares that it is
an important purpose of the Monetary Award Program to
facilitate access to college both for students who pursue
postsecondary education immediately following high school and
for those who pursue postsecondary education later in life,
particularly Illinoisans who are dislocated workers with
financial need and who are seeking to improve their economic
position through education. For the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017
academic years, the Commission shall give additional and
specific consideration to the needs of dislocated workers with
the intent of allowing applicants who are dislocated workers
an opportunity to secure financial assistance even if applying
later than the general pool of applicants. The Commission's
consideration shall include, in determining the number of
grants to be offered, an estimate of the resources needed to
serve dislocated workers who apply after the Commission
initially suspends award announcements for the upcoming
regular academic year, but prior to the beginning of that
academic year. For the purposes of this subsection (e-5), a
dislocated worker is defined as in the federal Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act.
    (f) (Blank).
    (g) The Commission shall determine the eligibility of and
make grants to applicants enrolled at qualified for-profit
institutions in accordance with the criteria set forth in this
Section. The eligibility of applicants enrolled at such
for-profit institutions shall be limited as follows:
        (1) Beginning with the academic year 1997, only to
    eligible first-time freshmen and first-time transfer
    students who have attained an associate degree.
        (2) Beginning with the academic year 1998, only to
    eligible freshmen students, transfer students who have
    attained an associate degree, and students who receive a
    grant under paragraph (1) for the academic year 1997 and
    whose grants are being renewed for the academic year 1998.
        (3) Beginning with the academic year 1999, to all
    eligible students.
    (h) The Commission may award a grant to an eligible
applicant enrolled at an Illinois public institution of higher
learning in a program that will culminate in the award of an
occupational or career and technical certificate as that term
is defined in 23 Ill. Adm. Code 1501.301.
    (i) The Commission may adopt rules to implement this
Section.

    (110 ILCS 947/38)
    Sec. 38. Monetary award program accountability. The
Illinois Student Assistance Commission is directed to assess
the educational persistence of monetary award program
recipients. An assessment under this Section shall include an
analysis of such factors as undergraduate educational goals,
chosen field of study, retention rates, and expected time to
complete a degree. The assessment also shall include an
analysis of the academic success of monetary award program
recipients through a review of measures that are typically
associated with academic success, such as grade point average,
satisfactory academic progress, and credit hours earned. Each
analysis should take into consideration student class level,
dependency types, and the type of higher education institution
at which each monetary award program recipient is enrolled.
The Illinois Community College Board and the Illinois Board of
Higher Education are authorized and directed to share data
with the Commission as needed to allow completion of the
assessment. The Commission shall report its findings to the
General Assembly and the Board of Higher Education by February
1, 1999 and at least every 2 years thereafter.

and Grants Fund is created as a special fund in the State
treasury. All gifts, grants, or donations of money received by
the Commission must be deposited into this Fund and, where
appropriate, other funds made available through contracts with
governmental, public, and private agencies or persons may also
be deposited into this Fund.
    (b) Moneys in the Fund may be used by the Commission,
subject to appropriation, for support of the Commission's
student and borrower assistance outreach, research, and

full-time scholarship amount for students pursuing an
associate degree or diploma in nursing at an Illinois
community college. Scholarship amounts for students pursuing
associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in nursing at a
college or university shall include 75% of the weighted
tuition and fees charged by public universities in Illinois
plus the uniform living allowance reported in the weighted MAP
budget. Scholarship amounts for students in practical nursing
programs shall include 75% of the average of tuition charges
at all practical nursing programs plus the uniform living
allowance reported in the weighted MAP budget. The Department
may provide that scholarships shall be on a quarterly or
semi-annual basis and shall be contingent upon the student's
diligently pursuing nursing studies and being a student in
good standing. Scholarship awards may be provided to part-time
students; the amount shall be determined by applying the
proportion represented by the part-time enrollment to
full-time enrollment ratio to the average per-term scholarship
amount for a student in the same nursing degree category.

    For the imposition of the privilege tax in this subsection
(a-5), amounts paid pursuant to item (1) of subsection (b) of
Section 56 of the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 shall not
be included in the determination of adjusted gross receipts.
    Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (a-5),
for the first 10 years that the privilege tax is imposed under
this subsection (a-5), the privilege tax shall be imposed on
the modified annual adjusted gross receipts of a riverboat or
casino conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
Louis, unless:
        (1) the riverboat or casino fails to employ at least
    450 people, except no minimum employment shall be required
    during 2020 and 2021 or during periods that the riverboat
    or casino is closed on orders of State officials for
    public health emergencies or other emergencies not caused
    by the riverboat or casino;
        (2) the riverboat or casino fails to maintain
    operations in a manner consistent with this Act or is not a
    viable riverboat or casino subject to the approval of the
    Board; or
        (3) the owners licensee is not an entity in which
    employees participate in an employee stock ownership plan
    or in which the owners licensee sponsors a 401(k)
    retirement plan and makes a matching employer contribution
    equal to at least one-quarter of the first 12% or one-half
    of the first 6% of each participating employee's
    contribution, not to exceed any limitations under federal
    laws and regulations.
    As used in this subsection (a-5), "modified annual
adjusted gross receipts" means:
        (A) for calendar year 2020, the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for the current year minus the difference between
    an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
    receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
    operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
    2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for 2018;
        (B) for calendar year 2021, the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for the current year minus the difference between
    an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
    receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
    operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
    2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for 2019; and
        (C) for calendar years 2022 through 2029, the annual
    adjusted gross receipts for the current year minus the
    difference between an amount equal to the average annual
    adjusted gross receipts from a riverboat or casino
    conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
    Louis for 3 years preceding the current year and the
    annual adjusted gross receipts for the immediately
    preceding year.
    (a-6) From June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
101-31) until June 30, 2023, an owners licensee that conducted
gambling operations prior to January 1, 2011 shall receive a
dollar-for-dollar credit against the tax imposed under this
Section for any renovation or construction costs paid by the
owners licensee, but in no event shall the credit exceed
$2,000,000.
    Additionally, from June 28, 2019 (the effective date of
Public Act 101-31) until December 31, 2024 2022, an owners
licensee that (i) is located within 15 miles of the Missouri
border, and (ii) has at least 3 riverboats, casinos, or their
equivalent within a 45-mile radius, may be authorized to
relocate to a new location with the approval of both the unit
of local government designated as the home dock and the Board,
so long as the new location is within the same unit of local
government and no more than 3 miles away from its original
location. Such owners licensee shall receive a credit against
the tax imposed under this Section equal to 8% of the total
project costs, as approved by the Board, for any renovation or
construction costs paid by the owners licensee for the
construction of the new facility, provided that the new
facility is operational by July 1, 2024 2022. In determining
whether or not to approve a relocation, the Board must
consider the extent to which the relocation will diminish the
gaming revenues received by other Illinois gaming facilities.
    (a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through
the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed
pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an
owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross
receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the
total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is
required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the
extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts
in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross
receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax
reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation
imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be
reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund
from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but
instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against
any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar
year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection
(a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall
occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment
year.
    If an owners licensee that conducted gambling operations
prior to January 1, 2019 expands its riverboat or casino,
including, but not limited to, with respect to its gaming
floor, additional non-gaming amenities such as restaurants,
bars, and hotels and other additional facilities, and incurs
construction and other costs related to such expansion from
June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until
June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of
Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any
such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by
the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be
extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall
increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each
calendar year until and including the final adjustment year.
No further modifications to the final adjustment year or
annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is
incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion
so that the final adjustment year shall not extend beyond the
9th calendar year after the initial adjustment year, not
including the initial adjustment year, and the annual
adjustment cap shall not exceed 4% of adjusted gross receipts
in a particular calendar year. Construction and other costs
related to expansion shall include all project related costs,
including, but not limited to, all hard and soft costs,
financing costs, on or off-site ground, road or utility work,
cost of gaming equipment and all other personal property,
initial fees assessed for each incremental gaming position,
and the cost of incremental land acquired for such expansion.
Soft costs shall include, but not be limited to, legal fees,
architect, engineering and design costs, other consultant
costs, insurance cost, permitting costs, and pre-opening costs
related to the expansion, including, but not limited to, any
of the following: marketing, real estate taxes, personnel,
training, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, supply,
inventory, and other costs, and any other project related soft
costs.
    To be eligible for the tax credits in subsection (a-6),
all construction contracts shall include a requirement that
the contractor enter into a project labor agreement with the
building and construction trades council with geographic
jurisdiction of the location of the proposed gaming facility.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(a-7), this subsection (a-7) does not apply to an owners
licensee unless such owners licensee spends at least
$15,000,000 on construction and other costs related to its
expansion, excluding the initial fees assessed for each
incremental gaming position.

gross receipts or adjusted gross receipts, for the purposes of
this Section, for a riverboat, a casino, or an organization
gaming facility shall not include the dollar amount of
non-cashable vouchers, coupons, and electronic promotions
redeemed by wagerers upon the riverboat, in the casino, or in
the organization gaming facility up to and including an amount
not to exceed 20% of a riverboat's, a casino's, or an
organization gaming facility's adjusted gross receipts.
    The Illinois Gaming Board shall submit to the General
Assembly a comprehensive report no later than March 31, 2023
detailing, at a minimum, the effect of removing non-cashable
vouchers, coupons, and electronic promotions from this
calculation on net gaming revenues to the State in calendar
years 2020 through 2022, the increase or reduction in wagerers
as a result of removing non-cashable vouchers, coupons, and

tax rates in subsection (a-5) on net gaming revenues to this
State, and proposed modifications to the calculation.
    (a-10) The taxes imposed by this Section shall be paid by
the licensed owner or the organization gaming licensee to the
Board not later than 5:00 o'clock p.m. of the day after the day
when the wagers were made.
    (a-15) If the privilege tax imposed under subsection (a-3)
is no longer imposed pursuant to item (i) of the last paragraph
of subsection (a-3), then by June 15 of each year, each owners
licensee, other than an owners licensee that admitted
1,000,000 persons or fewer in calendar year 2004, must, in
addition to the payment of all amounts otherwise due under
this Section, pay to the Board a reconciliation payment in the
amount, if any, by which the licensed owner's base amount
exceeds the amount of net privilege tax paid by the licensed
owner to the Board in the then current State fiscal year. A
licensed owner's net privilege tax obligation due for the
balance of the State fiscal year shall be reduced up to the
total of the amount paid by the licensed owner in its June 15
reconciliation payment. The obligation imposed by this
subsection (a-15) is binding on any person, firm, corporation,

investigated by a law enforcement agency, or (C) a condition
beyond the control of the owners licensee that does not result

agents and that poses a hazardous threat to the health and
safety of patrons. If an owners licensee pays an amount in
excess of its liability under this Section, the Board shall
apply the overpayment to future payments required under this
Section.
    For purposes of this subsection (a-15):

deposited in the State Gaming Fund under this Section, an
amount equal to 5% of adjusted gross receipts generated by a
riverboat or a casino, other than a riverboat or casino

    Section 5-98. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
changing Sections 5-5.01a and 5-5.7a and by adding Sections
5-5.7b and 12-4.56 as follows:
 
    (305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
    Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities program.
    (a) The Department shall establish and provide oversight
for a program of supportive living facilities that seek to
promote resident independence, dignity, respect, and
well-being in the most cost-effective manner.
    A supportive living facility is (i) a free-standing
facility or (ii) a distinct physical and operational entity
within a mixed-use building that meets the criteria
established in subsection (d). A supportive living facility
integrates housing with health, personal care, and supportive
services and is a designated setting that offers residents
their own separate, private, and distinct living units.
    Sites for the operation of the program shall be selected
by the Department based upon criteria that may include the
need for services in a geographic area, the availability of
funding, and the site's ability to meet the standards.
    (b) Beginning July 1, 2014, subject to federal approval,
the Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities shall be
equal to the supportive living facility Medicaid rate
effective on June 30, 2014 increased by 8.85%. Once the
assessment imposed at Article V-G of this Code is determined
to be a permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security
Act, the Department shall increase the Medicaid rates for
supportive living facilities effective on July 1, 2014 by
9.09%. The Department shall apply this increase retroactively
to coincide with the imposition of the assessment in Article
V-G of this Code in accordance with the approval for federal
financial participation by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services.
    The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities
effective on July 1, 2017 must be equal to the rates in effect
for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2017 increased by
2.8%.
    The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities
effective on July 1, 2018 must be equal to the rates in effect
for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2018.
    Subject to federal approval, the Medicaid rates for
supportive living services on and after July 1, 2019 must be at
least 54.3% of the average total nursing facility services per
diem for the geographic areas defined by the Department while
maintaining the rate differential for dementia care and must
be updated whenever the total nursing facility service per
diems are updated. Beginning July 1, 2022, upon the
implementation of the Patient Driven Payment Model, Medicaid
rates for supportive living services must be at least 54.3% of
the average total nursing services per diem rate for the
geographic areas. For purposes of this provision, the average
total nursing services per diem rate shall include all add-ons
for nursing facilities for the geographic area provided for in
Section 5-5.2. The rate differential for dementia care must be
maintained in these rates and the rates shall be updated
whenever nursing facility per diem rates are updated.
    (c) The Department may adopt rules to implement this
Section. Rules that establish or modify the services,
standards, and conditions for participation in the program
shall be adopted by the Department in consultation with the
Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation
Services, and the Department of Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities (or their successor agencies).
    (d) Subject to federal approval by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department shall accept
for consideration of certification under the program any
application for a site or building where distinct parts of the
site or building are designated for purposes other than the
provision of supportive living services, but only if:
        (1) those distinct parts of the site or building are
    not designated for the purpose of providing assisted
    living services as required under the Assisted Living and
    Shared Housing Act;
        (2) those distinct parts of the site or building are
    completely separate from the part of the building used for
    the provision of supportive living program services,
    including separate entrances;
        (3) those distinct parts of the site or building do
    not share any common spaces with the part of the building
    used for the provision of supportive living program
    services; and
        (4) those distinct parts of the site or building do
    not share staffing with the part of the building used for
    the provision of supportive living program services.
    (e) Facilities or distinct parts of facilities which are
selected as supportive living facilities and are in good
standing with the Department's rules are exempt from the
provisions of the Nursing Home Care Act and the Illinois
Health Facilities Planning Act.
    (f) Section 9817 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(Public Law 117-2) authorizes a 10% enhanced federal medical
assistance percentage for supportive living services for a
12-month period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.
Subject to federal approval, including the approval of any
necessary waiver amendments or other federally required
documents or assurances, for a 12-month period the Department
must pay a supplemental $26 per diem rate to all supportive
living facilities with the additional federal financial
participation funds that result from the enhanced federal
medical assistance percentage from April 1, 2021 through March
31, 2022. The Department may issue parameters around how the
supplemental payment should be spent, including quality
improvement activities. The Department may alter the form,
methods, or timeframes concerning the supplemental per diem
rate to comply with any subsequent changes to federal law,
changes made by guidance issued by the federal Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, or other changes necessary to
receive the enhanced federal medical assistance percentage.

    (305 ILCS 5/5-5.7a)
    Sec. 5-5.7a. Pandemic related stability payments for
health care providers. Notwithstanding other provisions of
law, and in accordance with the Illinois Emergency Management
Agency, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall
develop a process to distribute pandemic related stability
payments, from federal sources dedicated for such purposes, to
health care providers that are providing care to recipients
under the Medical Assistance Program. For provider types
serving residents who are recipients of medical assistance
under this Code and are funded by other State agencies, the
Department will coordinate the distribution process of the
pandemic related stability payments. Federal sources dedicated
to pandemic related payments include, but are not limited to,
funds distributed to the State of Illinois from the
Coronavirus Relief Fund pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and from the
Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund pursuant to Section
9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, that are
appropriated to the Department during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021,
and 2022 for purposes permitted by those federal laws and
related federal guidance.
        (1) Pandemic related stability payments for these
    providers shall be separate and apart from any rate
    methodology otherwise defined in this Code to the extent
    permitted in accordance with Section 5001 of the CARES Act
    and Section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
    and any related federal guidance.
        (2) Payments made from moneys received from the
    Coronavirus Relief Fund shall be used exclusively for
    expenses incurred by the providers that are eligible for
    reimbursement from the Coronavirus Relief Fund in
    accordance with Section 5001 of the CARES Act and related
    federal guidance. Payments made from moneys received from
    the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund shall be used
    exclusively for purposes permitted by Section 9901 of the
    American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and related federal
    guidance.
        (3) All providers receiving pandemic related stability
    payments shall attest in a format to be created by the
    Department and be able to demonstrate that their expenses
    are pandemic related, were not part of their annual
    budgets established before March 1, 2020, and are directly
    associated with health care needs.
        (4) Pandemic related stability payments will be
    distributed based on a schedule and framework to be
    established by the Department with recognition of the
    pandemic related acuity of the situation for each
    provider, taking into account the factors including, but
    not limited to, the following:
            (A) the impact of the pandemic on patients served,
        impact on staff, and shortages of the personal
        protective equipment necessary for infection control
        efforts for all providers;
            (B) COVID-19 positivity rates among staff, or
        patients, or both;
            (C) pandemic related workforce challenges and
        costs associated with temporary wage increases
        associated with pandemic related hazard pay programs,
        or costs associated with which providers do not have
        enough staff to adequately provide care and protection
        to the residents and other staff;
            (D) providers with significant reductions in
        utilization that result in corresponding reductions in
        revenue as a result of the pandemic, including, but
        not limited to, the cancellation or postponement of
        elective procedures and visits;
            (E) pandemic related payments received directly by
        the providers through other federal resources;
            (F) current efforts to respond to and provide
        services to communities disproportionately impacted by
        the COVID-19 public health emergency, including
        low-income and socially vulnerable communities that
        have seen the most severe health impacts and
        exacerbated health inequities along racial, ethnic,
        and socioeconomic lines; and
            (G) provider needs for capital improvements to
        existing facilities, including upgrades to HVAC and
        ventilation systems and capital improvements for
        enhancing infection control or reducing crowding,
        which may include bed-buybacks.
        (5) Pandemic related stability payments made from
    moneys received from the Coronavirus Relief Fund will be
    distributed to providers based on a methodology to be
    administered by the Department with amounts determined by
    a calculation of total federal pandemic related funds
    appropriated by the Illinois General Assembly for this
    purpose. Providers receiving the pandemic related
    stability payments will attest to their increased costs,
    declining revenues, and receipt of additional pandemic
    related funds directly from the federal government.
        (6) Of the payments provided for by this Section made
    from moneys received from the Coronavirus Relief Fund, a
    minimum of 30% shall be allotted for health care providers
    that serve the ZIP codes located in the most
    disproportionately impacted areas of Illinois, based on
    positive COVID-19 cases based on data collected by the
    Department of Public Health and provided to the Department
    of Healthcare and Family Services.
        (7) From funds appropriated, directly or indirectly,
    from moneys received by the State from the Coronavirus
    State Fiscal Recovery Fund for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022,

    permitted by Section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act
    of 2021 and related federal guidance. Such expenditures
    may include, but are not limited to: payments to providers
    for costs incurred due to the COVID-19 public health
    emergency; unreimbursed costs for testing and treatment of
    uninsured Illinois residents; costs of COVID-19 mitigation
    and prevention; medical expenses related to aftercare or
    extended care for COVID-19 patients with longer term
    symptoms and effects; costs of behavioral health care;
    costs of public health and safety staff; and expenditures
    permitted in order to address (i) disparities in public
    health outcomes, (ii) nursing and other essential health
    care workforce investments, (iii) exacerbation of
    pre-existing disparities, and (iv) promoting healthy
    childhood environments.
        (8) From funds appropriated, directly or indirectly,
    from moneys received by the State from the Coronavirus
    State Fiscal Recovery Fund for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023,
    the Department shall establish a program for making
    payments to long term care service providers and
    facilities, for purposes related to financial support for
    workers in the long term care industry, but only as
    permitted by either the CARES Act or Section 9901 of the
    American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and related federal
    guidance, including, but not limited to the following:
    monthly amounts of $25,000,000 per month for July 2021,
    August 2021, and September 2021 where at least 50% of the
    funds in July shall be passed directly to front line
    workers and an additional 12.5% more in each of the next 2
    months; financial support programs for providers enhancing
    direct care staff recruitment efforts through the payment
    of education expenses; and financial support programs for
    providers offering enhanced and expanded training for all
    levels of the long term care healthcare workforce to
    achieve better patient outcomes, such as training on
    infection control, proper personal protective equipment,
    best practices in quality of care, and culturally
    competent patient communications. The Department shall
    have the authority to audit and potentially recoup funds
    not utilized as outlined and attested.
        (8.5) From funds appropriated, directly or indirectly,
    from moneys received by the State from the Coronavirus
    State Fiscal Recovery Fund, the Department shall establish
    a grant program to provide premium pay to front line
    workers at facilities licensed by the Department of Public
    Health under the Nursing Home Care Act as skilled nursing
    facilities or intermediate care facilities.
            (A) Awards pursuant to this program shall comply
        with the requirements of Section 9901 of the American

as defined in this Section.
    "Qualifying Ground Ambulance Service Provider" means a
"vehicle service provider," as that term is defined in Section
3.85 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act,
which operates licensed ambulances for the purpose of
providing emergency, non-emergency ambulance services, or both
emergency and non-emergency ambulance services. The term
"Qualifying Ground Ambulance Service Provider" is limited to
ambulance and EMS agencies that are privately held and
nonprofit organizations headquartered within the State and
licensed by the Department of Public Health as of March 12,
2020.
    "Eligible worker" means a staff member of a Qualifying
Ground Ambulance Service Provider engaged in "essential work",
as defined by Section 9901 of the ARPA and related federal
guidance, and (1) whose total pay is below 150% of the average

residence, as defined by the BLS Occupational Employment and
Wage Statistics or (2) is not exempt from the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act overtime provisions.
    (b) Purpose. The Department may receive federal funds
under the authority of legislation passed in response to the
Coronavirus epidemic, including, but not limited to, the

Upon receipt or availability of such State or federal funds,
and subject to appropriations for their use, the Department
shall establish and administer programs for purposes allowable
under Section 9901 of the ARPA to provide financial assistance
to Qualifying Ground Ambulance Service Providers for premium
pay for eligible workers, to provide reimbursement for
eligible expenditures, and to provide support following the
negative economic impact of the COVID-19 public health
emergency on the Ambulance Services Industry. Financial
assistance may include, but is not limited to, grants, expense
reimbursements, or subsidies.
    (c) Non-Emergency Service Certification. To be eligible
for funding under this Section, a Qualifying Ground Ambulance
Service Provider that provides non-emergency services to
institutional residents must certify that it will provide
non-emergency ambulance services to individuals enrolled in
the State's Medical Assistance Program and residing in
non-institutional settings for at least one year following the
receipt of funding pursuant to this amendatory Act of the

certification in its records. The provider shall also maintain
documentation of all non-emergency ambulance services for the
period covered by the certification. The provider shall
produce the certification and supporting documentation upon
demand by the Department or its representative. Failure to
comply shall result in recovery of any payments made by the
Department.
    (d) Premium Pay Initiative. Subject to paragraph (c) of
this Section, the Department shall establish a Premium Pay

    (305 ILCS 20/6)  (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1406)
    Sec. 6. Eligibility, conditions of participation, and
energy assistance.
    (a) Any person who is a resident of the State of Illinois
and whose household income is not greater than an amount
determined annually by the Department, in consultation with
the Policy Advisory Council, may apply for assistance pursuant
to this Act in accordance with regulations promulgated by the
Department. In setting the annual eligibility level, the
Department shall consider the amount of available funding and
may not set a limit higher than 150% of the federal nonfarm
poverty level as established by the federal Office of
Management and Budget or 60% of the State median income for the
current State fiscal year as established by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services; except that for the
period from the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
101st General Assembly through June 30, 2021, the Department
may establish limits not higher than 200% of that poverty
level. The Department, in consultation with the Policy
Advisory Council, may adjust the percentage of poverty level
annually in accordance with federal guidelines and based on
funding availability.
    (b) Applicants who qualify for assistance pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section shall, subject to appropriation
from the General Assembly and subject to availability of funds
to the Department, receive energy assistance as provided by
this Act. The Department, upon receipt of monies authorized
pursuant to this Act for energy assistance, shall commit funds
for each qualified applicant in an amount determined by the
Department. In determining the amounts of assistance to be
provided to or on behalf of a qualified applicant, the
Department shall ensure that the highest amounts of assistance
go to households with the greatest energy costs in relation to
household income. The Department shall include factors such as
energy costs, household size, household income, and region of
the State when determining individual household benefits. In
setting assistance levels, the Department shall attempt to
provide assistance to approximately the same number of
households who participated in the 1991 Residential Energy
Assistance Partnership Program. Such assistance levels shall
be adjusted annually on the basis of funding availability and
energy costs. In promulgating rules for the administration of
this Section the Department shall assure that a minimum of 1/3
of funds available for benefits to eligible households with
the lowest incomes and that elderly households, households
with children under the age of 6 years old, and households with
persons with disabilities are offered a priority application
period.
    (c) If the applicant is not a customer of record of an
energy provider for energy services or an applicant for such
service, such applicant shall receive a direct energy
assistance payment in an amount established by the Department
for all such applicants under this Act; provided, however,
that such an applicant must have rental expenses for housing
greater than 30% of household income.
    (c-1) This subsection shall apply only in cases where: (1)
the applicant is not a customer of record of an energy provider
because energy services are provided by the owner of the unit
as a portion of the rent; (2) the applicant resides in housing
subsidized or developed with funds provided under the Rental
Housing Support Program Act or under a similar locally funded
rent subsidy program, or is the voucher holder who resides in a
rental unit within the State of Illinois and whose monthly
rent is subsidized by the tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher
Program under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; and
(3) the rental expenses for housing are no more than 30% of
household income. In such cases, the household may apply for
an energy assistance payment under this Act and the owner of
the housing unit shall cooperate with the applicant by
providing documentation of the energy costs for that unit. Any
compensation paid to the energy provider who supplied energy
services to the household shall be paid on behalf of the owner
of the housing unit providing energy services to the
household. The Department shall report annually to the General
Assembly on the number of households receiving energy
assistance under this subsection and the cost of such
assistance. The provisions of this subsection (c-1), other
than this sentence, are inoperative after August 31, 2012.
    (d) If the applicant is a customer of an energy provider,
such applicant shall receive energy assistance in an amount
established by the Department for all such applicants under
this Act, such amount to be paid by the Department to the
energy provider supplying winter energy service to such
applicant. Such applicant shall:
        (i) make all reasonable efforts to apply to any other
    appropriate source of public energy assistance; and
        (ii) sign a waiver permitting the Department to
    receive income information from any public or private
    agency providing income or energy assistance and from any
    employer, whether public or private.
    (e) Any qualified applicant pursuant to this Section may
receive or have paid on such applicant's behalf an emergency
assistance payment to enable such applicant to obtain access
to winter energy services. Any such payments shall be made in
accordance with regulations of the Department.
    (f) The Department may, if sufficient funds are available,
provide additional benefits to certain qualified applicants:
        (i) for the reduction of past due amounts owed to
    energy providers; and
        (ii) to assist the household in responding to
    excessively high summer temperatures or energy costs.
    Households containing elderly members, children, a person
    with a disability, or a person with a medical need for
    conditioned air shall receive priority for receipt of such
    benefits; and .
        (iii) for the installation of energy conservation
    measures, health and safety measures, healthy home
    measures, home improvement measures to help alleviate
    deferrals from weatherization activities, and renewable
    energy retrofits.

    (305 ILCS 20/13)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2025)
    Sec. 13. Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund.
    (a) The Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund is
hereby created as a special fund in the State Treasury. The
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund is authorized
to receive moneys from voluntary donations from individuals,
foundations, corporations, and other sources, moneys received
pursuant to Section 17, and, by statutory deposit, the moneys
collected pursuant to this Section. The Fund is also
authorized to receive voluntary donations from individuals,
foundations, corporations, and other sources. Subject to
appropriation, the Department shall use moneys from the
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund for: (i)
payments to electric or gas public utilities, municipal
electric or gas utilities, and electric cooperatives on behalf
of their customers who are participants in the program
authorized by Sections 4 and 18 of this Act; (ii) , for the
provision of weatherization services, including, but not
limited to, the installation of energy conservation measures,
health and safety measures, healthy home measures, home
improvement measures to alleviate the deferrals of certain
projects, including, but not limited to, roofs and foundation
repairs, and renewable energy retrofits; and (iii) for
administration of the Supplemental Low-Income Energy
Assistance Fund. All other deposits outside of the Energy
Assistance Charge as set forth in subsection (b) are not
subject to the percentage restrictions related to
administrative and weatherization expenses provided in this
subsection. The yearly expenditures for weatherization may not
exceed 10% of the amount collected during the year pursuant to
this Section, except when unspent funds from the Supplemental
Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund are reallocated from a
previous year; any unspent balance of the 10% weatherization
allowance may be utilized for weatherization expenses in the
year they are reallocated. The yearly administrative expenses
of the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund may not
exceed 13% of the amount collected during that year pursuant
to this Section, except when unspent funds from the
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund are reallocated
from a previous year; any unspent balance of the 13%
administrative allowance may be utilized for administrative
expenses in the year they are reallocated. Of the 13%
administrative allowance, no less than 8% shall be provided to
Local Administrative Agencies for administrative expenses.
    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16-111 of
the Public Utilities Act but subject to subsection (k) of this
Section, each public utility, electric cooperative, as defined
in Section 3.4 of the Electric Supplier Act, and municipal
utility, as referenced in Section 3-105 of the Public
Utilities Act, that is engaged in the delivery of electricity
or the distribution of natural gas within the State of
Illinois shall, effective January 1, 2021, assess each of its
customer accounts a monthly Energy Assistance Charge for the
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund. The delivering
public utility, municipal electric or gas utility, or electric
or gas cooperative for a self-assessing purchaser remains
subject to the collection of the fee imposed by this Section.
The monthly charge shall be as follows:
        (1) Base Energy Assistance Charge per month on each
    account for residential electrical service;
        (2) Base Energy Assistance Charge per month on each
    account for residential gas service;
        (3) Ten times the Base Energy Assistance Charge per
    month on each account for non-residential electric service
    which had less than 10 megawatts of peak demand during the
    previous calendar year;
        (4) Ten times the Base Energy Assistance Charge per
    month on each account for non-residential gas service
    which had distributed to it less than 4,000,000 therms of
    gas during the previous calendar year;
        (5) Three hundred and seventy-five times the Base
    Energy Assistance Charge per month on each account for
    non-residential electric service which had 10 megawatts or
    greater of peak demand during the previous calendar year;
    and
        (6) Three hundred and seventy-five times the Base
    Energy Assistance Charge per month on each account for
    non-residential gas service which had 4,000,000 or more
    therms of gas distributed to it during the previous
    calendar year.
    The Base Energy Assistance Charge shall be $0.48 per month
for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2022 and shall
increase by $0.16 per month for any calendar year, provided no
less than 80% of the previous State fiscal year's available
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund funding was
exhausted. The maximum Base Energy Assistance Charge shall not
exceed $0.96 per month for any calendar year.
    The incremental change to such charges imposed by Public
Act 99-933 and this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly shall not (i) be used for any purpose other than to
directly assist customers and (ii) be applicable to utilities
serving less than 100,000 customers in Illinois on January 1,
2021. The incremental change to such charges imposed by this
amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly are intended to
increase utilization of the Percentage of Income Payment Plan
(PIPP or PIP Plan) and shall be applied such that PIP Plan
enrollment is at least doubled, as compared to 2020
enrollment, by 2024.
    In addition, electric and gas utilities have committed,
and shall contribute, a one-time payment of $22 million to the
Fund, within 10 days after the effective date of the tariffs
established pursuant to Sections 16-111.8 and 19-145 of the
Public Utilities Act to be used for the Department's cost of
implementing the programs described in Section 18 of this
amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the Arrearage
Reduction Program described in Section 18, and the programs
described in Section 8-105 of the Public Utilities Act. If a
utility elects not to file a rider within 90 days after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly, then the contribution from such utility shall be
made no later than February 1, 2010.
    (c) For purposes of this Section:
        (1) "residential electric service" means electric
    utility service for household purposes delivered to a
    dwelling of 2 or fewer units which is billed under a
    residential rate, or electric utility service for
    household purposes delivered to a dwelling unit or units
    which is billed under a residential rate and is registered
    by a separate meter for each dwelling unit;
        (2) "residential gas service" means gas utility
    service for household purposes distributed to a dwelling
    of 2 or fewer units which is billed under a residential
    rate, or gas utility service for household purposes
    distributed to a dwelling unit or units which is billed
    under a residential rate and is registered by a separate
    meter for each dwelling unit;
        (3) "non-residential electric service" means electric
    utility service which is not residential electric service;
    and
        (4) "non-residential gas service" means gas utility
    service which is not residential gas service.
    (d) Within 30 days after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, each public
utility engaged in the delivery of electricity or the
distribution of natural gas shall file with the Illinois
Commerce Commission tariffs incorporating the Energy
Assistance Charge in other charges stated in such tariffs,
which shall become effective no later than the beginning of
the first billing cycle following such filing.
    (e) The Energy Assistance Charge assessed by electric and
gas public utilities shall be considered a charge for public
utility service.
    (f) By the 20th day of the month following the month in
which the charges imposed by the Section were collected, each
public utility, municipal utility, and electric cooperative
shall remit to the Department of Revenue all moneys received
as payment of the Energy Assistance Charge on a return
prescribed and furnished by the Department of Revenue showing
such information as the Department of Revenue may reasonably
require; provided, however, that a utility offering an
Arrearage Reduction Program or Supplemental Arrearage
Reduction Program pursuant to Section 18 of this Act shall be
entitled to net those amounts necessary to fund and recover
the costs of such Programs as authorized by that Section that
is no more than the incremental change in such Energy
Assistance Charge authorized by Public Act 96-33. If a
customer makes a partial payment, a public utility, municipal
utility, or electric cooperative may elect either: (i) to
apply such partial payments first to amounts owed to the
utility or cooperative for its services and then to payment
for the Energy Assistance Charge or (ii) to apply such partial
payments on a pro-rata basis between amounts owed to the
utility or cooperative for its services and to payment for the
Energy Assistance Charge.
    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
distributor's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an
original return, the Department may authorize the distributor
to credit such excess payment against liability subsequently
to be remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance
with reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the
Department subsequently determines that all or any part of the
credit taken was not actually due to the distributor, the
distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to
the difference between the discount as applied to the credit
taken and that actually due, and that distributor shall be
liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
    (g) The Department of Revenue shall deposit into the
Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund all moneys
remitted to it in accordance with subsection (f) of this
Section. The utilities shall coordinate with the Department to
establish an equitable and practical methodology for
implementing this subsection (g) beginning with the 2010
program year.
    (h) On or before December 31, 2002, the Department shall
prepare a report for the General Assembly on the expenditure
of funds appropriated from the Low-Income Energy Assistance
Block Grant Fund for the program authorized under Section 4 of
this Act.
    (i) The Department of Revenue may establish such rules as
it deems necessary to implement this Section.
    (j) The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
may establish such rules as it deems necessary to implement
this Section.
    (k) The charges imposed by this Section shall only apply
to customers of municipal electric or gas utilities and
electric or gas cooperatives if the municipal electric or gas
utility or electric or gas cooperative makes an affirmative
decision to impose the charge. If a municipal electric or gas
utility or an electric cooperative makes an affirmative
decision to impose the charge provided by this Section, the
municipal electric or gas utility or electric cooperative
shall inform the Department of Revenue in writing of such
decision when it begins to impose the charge. If a municipal
electric or gas utility or electric or gas cooperative does
not assess this charge, the Department may not use funds from
the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund to provide
benefits to its customers under the program authorized by
Section 4 of this Act.
    In its use of federal funds under this Act, the Department
may not cause a disproportionate share of those federal funds
to benefit customers of systems which do not assess the charge
provided by this Section.
    This Section is repealed on January 1, 2025 unless renewed
by action of the General Assembly.

    solid waste received or disposed;
        (2) the form and submission of reports to accompany
    the payment of fees to the Agency;
        (3) the time and manner of payment of fees to the
    Agency, which payments shall not be more often than
    quarterly; and
        (4) procedures setting forth criteria establishing
    when an owner or operator may measure by weight or volume
    during any given quarter or other fee payment period.
    (e) Pursuant to appropriation, all monies in the Solid
Waste Management Fund shall be used by the Agency for the
purposes set forth in this Section and in the Illinois Solid
Waste Management Act, including for the costs of fee
collection and administration, and for the administration of
(1) the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act and (2) until
January 1, 2020, the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse
Act.
    (f) The Agency is authorized to enter into such agreements
and to promulgate such rules as are necessary to carry out its
duties under this Section and the Illinois Solid Waste
Management Act.
    (g) On the first day of January, April, July, and October
of each year, beginning on July 1, 1996, the State Comptroller
and Treasurer shall transfer $500,000 from the Solid Waste

assistance to units of local government for the performance of
inspecting, investigating and enforcement activities pursuant
to Section 4(r) at nonhazardous solid waste disposal sites.
    (i) The Agency is authorized to conduct household waste
collection and disposal programs.
    (j) A unit of local government, as defined in the Local
Solid Waste Disposal Act, in which a solid waste disposal
facility is located may establish a fee, tax, or surcharge
with regard to the permanent disposal of solid waste. All
fees, taxes, and surcharges collected under this subsection
shall be utilized for solid waste management purposes,
including long-term monitoring and maintenance of landfills,
planning, implementation, inspection, enforcement and other
activities consistent with the Solid Waste Management Act and
the Local Solid Waste Disposal Act, or for any other
environment-related purpose, including, but not limited to, an
environment-related public works project, but not for the
construction of a new pollution control facility other than a
household hazardous waste facility. However, the total fee,
tax or surcharge imposed by all units of local government
under this subsection (j) upon the solid waste disposal
facility shall not exceed:
        (1) 60¢ per cubic yard if more than 150,000 cubic
    yards of non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed
    of at the site in a calendar year, unless the owner or
    operator weighs the quantity of the solid waste received
    with a device for which certification has been obtained
    under the Weights and Measures Act, in which case the fee
    shall not exceed $1.27 per ton of solid waste permanently
    disposed of.
        (2) $33,350 if more than 100,000 cubic yards, but not
    more than 150,000 cubic yards, of non-hazardous waste is
    permanently disposed of at the site in a calendar year.
        (3) $15,500 if more than 50,000 cubic yards, but not
    more than 100,000 cubic yards, of non-hazardous solid

    non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed of at
    the site in a calendar year.
    The corporate authorities of the unit of local government
may use proceeds from the fee, tax, or surcharge to reimburse a
highway commissioner whose road district lies wholly or
partially within the corporate limits of the unit of local
government for expenses incurred in the removal of
nonhazardous, nonfluid municipal waste that has been dumped on
public property in violation of a State law or local
ordinance.
    For the disposal of solid waste from general construction
or demolition debris recovery facilities as defined in
subsection (a-1) of Section 3.160, the total fee, tax, or
surcharge imposed by all units of local government under this
subsection (j) upon the solid waste disposal facility shall
not exceed 50% of the applicable amount set forth above. A unit
of local government, as defined in the Local Solid Waste
Disposal Act, in which a general construction or demolition
debris recovery facility is located may establish a fee, tax,
or surcharge on the general construction or demolition debris
recovery facility with regard to the permanent disposal of
solid waste by the general construction or demolition debris
recovery facility at a solid waste disposal facility, provided
that such fee, tax, or surcharge shall not exceed 50% of the
applicable amount set forth above, based on the total amount
of solid waste transported from the general construction or
demolition debris recovery facility for disposal at solid
waste disposal facilities, and the unit of local government
and fee shall be subject to all other requirements of this
subsection (j).
    A county or Municipal Joint Action Agency that imposes a
fee, tax, or surcharge under this subsection may use the
proceeds thereof to reimburse a municipality that lies wholly
or partially within its boundaries for expenses incurred in
the removal of nonhazardous, nonfluid municipal waste that has
been dumped on public property in violation of a State law or
local ordinance.
    If the fees are to be used to conduct a local sanitary
landfill inspection or enforcement program, the unit of local
government must enter into a written delegation agreement with
the Agency pursuant to subsection (r) of Section 4. The unit of
local government and the Agency shall enter into such a
written delegation agreement within 60 days after the
establishment of such fees. At least annually, the Agency
shall conduct an audit of the expenditures made by units of
local government from the funds granted by the Agency to the
units of local government for purposes of local sanitary
landfill inspection and enforcement programs, to ensure that
the funds have been expended for the prescribed purposes under
the grant.
    The fees, taxes or surcharges collected under this
subsection (j) shall be placed by the unit of local government
in a separate fund, and the interest received on the moneys in
the fund shall be credited to the fund. The monies in the fund
may be accumulated over a period of years to be expended in
accordance with this subsection.
    A unit of local government, as defined in the Local Solid
Waste Disposal Act, shall prepare and post on its website, in
April of each year, a report that details spending plans for
monies collected in accordance with this subsection. The
report will at a minimum include the following:
        (1) The total monies collected pursuant to this
    subsection.
        (2) The most current balance of monies collected
    pursuant to this subsection.
        (3) An itemized accounting of all monies expended for
    the previous year pursuant to this subsection.
        (4) An estimation of monies to be collected for the
    following 3 years pursuant to this subsection.
        (5) A narrative detailing the general direction and
    scope of future expenditures for one, 2 and 3 years.
    The exemptions granted under Sections 22.16 and 22.16a,
and under subsection (k) of this Section, shall be applicable
to any fee, tax or surcharge imposed under this subsection
(j); except that the fee, tax or surcharge authorized to be
imposed under this subsection (j) may be made applicable by a
unit of local government to the permanent disposal of solid
waste after December 31, 1986, under any contract lawfully
executed before June 1, 1986 under which more than 150,000
cubic yards (or 50,000 tons) of solid waste is to be
permanently disposed of, even though the waste is exempt from
the fee imposed by the State under subsection (b) of this
Section pursuant to an exemption granted under Section 22.16.
    (k) In accordance with the findings and purposes of the
Illinois Solid Waste Management Act, beginning January 1, 1989
the fee under subsection (b) and the fee, tax or surcharge
under subsection (j) shall not apply to:
        (1) waste which is hazardous waste;
        (2) waste which is pollution control waste;
        (3) waste from recycling, reclamation or reuse
    processes which have been approved by the Agency as being
    designed to remove any contaminant from wastes so as to
    render such wastes reusable, provided that the process
    renders at least 50% of the waste reusable; the exemption
    set forth in this paragraph (3) of this subsection (k)
    shall not apply to general construction or demolition
    debris recovery facilities as defined in subsection (a-1)
    of Section 3.160;
        (4) non-hazardous solid waste that is received at a
    sanitary landfill and composted or recycled through a
    process permitted by the Agency; or
        (5) any landfill which is permitted by the Agency to
    receive only demolition or construction debris or
    landscape waste.

or safety is not threatened whenever there is a release or
substantial threat of a release of petroleum from an
underground storage tank and for the costs of administering
its activities relative to the Underground Storage Tank Fund.
    (c) Beginning July 1, 1993, the Governor shall certify to
the State Comptroller and State Treasurer the monthly amount
necessary to pay debt service on State obligations issued
pursuant to Section 6 of the General Obligation Bond Act. On
the last day of each month, the Comptroller shall order

for prior months.
    (d) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section,
the Underground Storage Tank Fund is not subject to
administrative charges authorized under Section 8h of the
State Finance Act that would in any way transfer any funds from
the Underground Storage Tank Fund into any other fund of the
State.
    (e) Each fiscal year, subject to appropriation, the Agency
may commit up to $10,000,000 of the moneys in the Underground
Storage Tank Fund to the payment of corrective action costs
for legacy sites that meet one or more of the following
criteria as a result of the underground storage tank release:
(i) the presence of free product, (ii) contamination within a
regulated recharge area, a wellhead protection area, or the
setback zone of a potable water supply well, (iii)
contamination extending beyond the boundaries of the site
where the release occurred, or (iv) such other criteria as may
be adopted in Agency rules.
        (1) Fund moneys committed under this subsection (e)
    shall be held in the Fund for payment of the corrective
    action costs for which the moneys were committed.
        (2) The Agency may adopt rules governing the
    commitment of Fund moneys under this subsection (e).
        (3) This subsection (e) does not limit the use of Fund
    moneys at legacy sites as otherwise provided under this

    storage tank release was reported prior to January 1,
    2005, (ii) the owner or operator has been determined
    eligible to receive payment from the Fund for corrective
    action costs, and (iii) the Agency did not receive any
    applications for payment prior to January 1, 2010.
    (f) Beginning July 1, 2013, if the amounts deposited into
the Fund from moneys received by the Office of the State Fire
Marshal as fees for underground storage tanks under Sections 4
and 5 of the Gasoline Storage Act and as fees pursuant to the
Motor Fuel Tax Law during a State fiscal year are sufficient to
pay all claims for payment by the fund received during that
State fiscal year, then the amount of any payments into the
fund pursuant to the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act during that State fiscal year shall be deposited as
follows: 75% thereof shall be paid into the State treasury and

    Section 5-106. The Open Space Lands Acquisition and
Development Act is amended by changing Section 3 as follows:
 
    (525 ILCS 35/3)  (from Ch. 85, par. 2103)
    Sec. 3. From appropriations made from the Capital
Development Fund, Build Illinois Bond Fund or other available
or designated funds for such purposes, the Department shall
make grants to local governments as financial assistance for
the capital development and improvement of park, recreation or
conservation areas, marinas and shorelines, including planning
and engineering costs, and for the acquisition of open space
lands, including acquisition of easements and other property
interests less than fee simple ownership if the Department
determines that such property interests are sufficient to
carry out the purposes of this Act, subject to the conditions
and limitations set forth in this Act.
    No more than 10% of the amount so appropriated for any
fiscal year may be committed or expended on any one project
described in an application under this Act.
    Except for grants awarded from new appropriations in
fiscal year 2023, any Any grant under this Act to a local
government shall be conditioned upon the state providing
assistance on a 50/50 matching basis for the acquisition of
open space lands and for capital development and improvement
proposals. However, a local government defined as "distressed"
under criteria adopted by the Department through
administrative rule shall be eligible for assistance up to 90%
for the acquisition of open space lands and for capital
development and improvement proposals, provided that no more
than 10% of the amount appropriated under this Act in any
fiscal year is made available as grants to distressed local
governments. For grants awarded from new appropriations in
fiscal year 2023 only, a local government defined as
"distressed" is eligible for assistance up to 100% for the
acquisition of open space lands and for capital development
and improvement proposals. The Department may make more than
10% of the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2023 available
as grants to distressed local governments.
    An advance payment of a minimum of 50% of any grant made to
a unit of local government under this Act must be paid to the
unit of local government at the time the Department awards the
grant. A unit of local government may opt out of the advanced
payment option at the time of the award of the grant. The
remainder of the grant shall be distributed to the local
government quarterly on a reimbursement basis. The Department
shall consider an applicant's request for an extension to a
grant under this Act if (i) the advanced payment is expended or
legally obligated within the 2 years required by Section 5 of
the Illinois Grant Funds Recovery Act or (ii) no advanced
payment was made.

    Section 5-107. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 3-659 and 6-206.1 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/3-659)
    Sec. 3-659. Pan Hellenic license plates.
    (a) The Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and

    (b) The design and color of the special plates shall be
wholly within the discretion of the Secretary, except that an
emblem of a Pan Hellenic eligible member shall be on the plate.
Appropriate documentation, as determined by the Secretary,

    (625 ILCS 5/6-206.1)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-206.1)
    Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is
a threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to
provide a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary
driver's license suspension is appropriate. It is also
recognized that driving is a privilege and therefore, that the
granting of driving privileges, in a manner consistent with
public safety, is warranted during the period of suspension in
the form of a monitoring device driving permit. A person who
drives and fails to comply with the requirements of the
monitoring device driving permit commits a violation of
Section 6-303 of this Code.
    The following procedures shall apply whenever a first
offender, as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, is
arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the
provisions of Section 11-501.1:
    (a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving
privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1
of this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice
informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring
device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at
minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed
for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and
procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
issued if the Secretary finds that:
        (1) the offender's driver's license is otherwise
    invalid;
        (2) death or great bodily harm to another resulted
    from the arrest for Section 11-501;
        (3) the offender has been previously convicted of
    reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the
    influence involving death; or
        (4) the offender is less than 18 years of age.
    Any offender participating in the MDDP program must pay
the Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to
exceed $30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring
Device Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary
shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
and conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have
an ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the
date the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock
device provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and
form prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the
Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
    Upon receipt of the notice, as provided in paragraph (a)
of this Section, the person may file a petition to decline
issuance of the MDDP with the court of venue. The court shall
admonish the offender of all consequences of declining
issuance of the MDDP including, but not limited to, the
enhanced penalties for driving while suspended. After being so
admonished, the offender shall be permitted, in writing, to
execute a notice declining issuance of the MDDP. This notice
shall be filed with the court and forwarded by the clerk of the
court to the Secretary. The offender may, at any time
thereafter, apply to the Secretary for issuance of a MDDP.
    (a-1) A person issued a MDDP may drive for any purpose and
at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary
under subsection (g). The person must, at his or her own
expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1, but in no
event shall such person drive a commercial motor vehicle.
    (a-2) Persons who are issued a MDDP and must drive
employer-owned vehicles in the course of their employment
duties may seek permission to drive an employer-owned vehicle
that does not have an ignition interlock device. The employer
shall provide to the Secretary a form, as prescribed by the
Secretary, completed by the employer verifying that the
employee must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of
employment. If approved by the Secretary, the form must be in
the driver's possession while operating an employer-owner
vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device. No
person may use this exemption to drive a school bus, school
vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15
passengers. No person may use this exemption to drive an
employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that
is wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or
by a family member of the person holding the MDDP. No person
may use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that
is made available to the employee for personal use. No person
may drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6
days per week.
    (a-3) Persons who are issued a MDDP and who must drive a
farm tractor to and from a farm, within 50 air miles from the
originating farm are exempt from installation of a BAIID on
the farm tractor, so long as the farm tractor is being used for
the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations.
    (b) (Blank).
    (c) (Blank).
    (c-1) If the holder of the MDDP is convicted of or receives
court supervision for a violation of Section 6-206.2, 6-303,
11-204, 11-204.1, 11-401, 11-501, 11-503, 11-506 or a similar
provision of a local ordinance or a similar out-of-state
offense or is convicted of or receives court supervision for
any offense for which alcohol or drugs is an element of the
offense and in which a motor vehicle was involved (for an
arrest other than the one for which the MDDP is issued), or
de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the
Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.
    (c-5) If the Secretary determines that the person seeking
the MDDP is indigent, the Secretary shall provide the person
with a written document as evidence of that determination, and
the person shall provide that written document to an ignition
interlock device provider. The provider shall install an
ignition interlock device on that person's vehicle without
charge to the person, and seek reimbursement from the Indigent
BAIID Fund. If the Secretary has deemed an offender indigent,
the BAIID provider shall also provide the normal monthly
monitoring services and the de-installation without charge to
the offender and seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID
Fund. Any other monetary charges, such as a lockout fee or
reset fee, shall be the responsibility of the MDDP holder. A
BAIID provider may not seek a security deposit from the
Indigent BAIID Fund.
    (d) MDDP information shall be available only to the
courts, police officers, and the Secretary, except during the
actual period the MDDP is valid, during which time it shall be
a public record.
    (e) (Blank).
    (f) (Blank).
    (g) The Secretary shall adopt rules for implementing this
Section. The rules adopted shall address issues including, but
not limited to: compliance with the requirements of the MDDP;
methods for determining compliance with those requirements;
the consequences of noncompliance with those requirements;
what constitutes a violation of the MDDP; methods for
determining indigency; and the duties of a person or entity
that supplies the ignition interlock device.
    (h) The rules adopted under subsection (g) shall provide,
at a minimum, that the person is not in compliance with the
requirements of the MDDP if he or she:
        (1) tampers or attempts to tamper with or circumvent
    the proper operation of the ignition interlock device;
        (2) provides valid breath samples that register blood
    alcohol levels in excess of the number of times allowed
    under the rules;
        (3) fails to provide evidence sufficient to satisfy
    the Secretary that the ignition interlock device has been
    installed in the designated vehicle or vehicles; or
        (4) fails to follow any other applicable rules adopted
    by the Secretary.
    (i) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
interlock device as provided under this Section shall, in
addition to supplying only those devices which fully comply
with all the rules adopted under subsection (g), provide the
Secretary, within 7 days of inspection, all monitoring reports
of each person who has had an ignition interlock device
installed. These reports shall be furnished in a manner or
form as prescribed by the Secretary.
    (j) Upon making a determination that a violation of the
requirements of the MDDP has occurred, the Secretary shall
extend the summary suspension period for an additional 3
months beyond the originally imposed summary suspension
period, during which time the person shall only be allowed to
drive vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device;
provided further there are no limitations on the total number
of times the summary suspension may be extended. The Secretary
may, however, limit the number of extensions imposed for
violations occurring during any one monitoring period, as set
forth by rule. Any person whose summary suspension is extended
pursuant to this Section shall have the right to contest the
extension through a hearing with the Secretary, pursuant to
Section 2-118 of this Code. If the summary suspension has
already terminated prior to the Secretary receiving the
monitoring report that shows a violation, the Secretary shall
be authorized to suspend the person's driving privileges for 3
months, provided that the Secretary may, by rule, limit the
number of suspensions to be entered pursuant to this paragraph
for violations occurring during any one monitoring period. Any
person whose license is suspended pursuant to this paragraph,
after the summary suspension had already terminated, shall
have the right to contest the suspension through a hearing
with the Secretary, pursuant to Section 2-118 of this Code.
The only permit the person shall be eligible for during this
new suspension period is a MDDP.
    (k) A person who has had his or her summary suspension
extended for the third time, or has any combination of 3
extensions and new suspensions, entered as a result of a
violation that occurred while holding the MDDP, so long as the
extensions and new suspensions relate to the same summary
suspension, shall have his or her vehicle impounded for a
period of 30 days, at the person's own expense. A person who
has his or her summary suspension extended for the fourth
time, or has any combination of 4 extensions and new
suspensions, entered as a result of a violation that occurred
while holding the MDDP, so long as the extensions and new
suspensions relate to the same summary suspension, shall have
his or her vehicle subject to seizure and forfeiture. The
Secretary shall notify the prosecuting authority of any third
or fourth extensions or new suspension entered as a result of a
violation that occurred while the person held a MDDP. Upon
receipt of the notification, the prosecuting authority shall
impound or forfeit the vehicle. The impoundment or forfeiture
of a vehicle shall be conducted pursuant to the procedure
specified in Article 36 of the Criminal Code of 2012.
    (l) A person whose driving privileges have been suspended
under Section 11-501.1 of this Code and who had a MDDP that was
cancelled, or would have been cancelled had notification of a
violation been received prior to expiration of the MDDP,
pursuant to subsection (c-1) of this Section, shall not be
eligible for reinstatement when the summary suspension is
scheduled to terminate. Instead, the person's driving
privileges shall be suspended for a period of not less than
twice the original summary suspension period, or for the
length of any extensions entered under subsection (j),
whichever is longer. During the period of suspension, the
person shall be eligible only to apply for a restricted
driving permit. If a restricted driving permit is granted, the
offender may only operate vehicles equipped with a BAIID in

    (m) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
interlock device under this Section shall, for each ignition
interlock device installed, pay 5% of the total gross revenue
received for the device, including monthly monitoring fees,
into the Indigent BAIID Fund. This 5% shall be clearly
indicated as a separate surcharge on each invoice that is
issued. The Secretary shall conduct an annual review of the
fund to determine whether the surcharge is sufficient to
provide for indigent users. The Secretary may increase or
decrease this surcharge requirement as needed.
    (n) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
interlock device under this Section that is requested to
provide an ignition interlock device to a person who presents
written documentation of indigency from the Secretary, as
provided in subsection (c-5) of this Section, shall install
the device on the person's vehicle without charge to the
person and shall seek reimbursement from the Indigent BAIID
Fund.
    (o) The Indigent BAIID Fund is created as a special fund in
the State treasury. The Secretary shall, subject to
appropriation by the General Assembly, use all money in the

every 3 months. If the amount of money in the fund at the time
payments are made is not sufficient to pay all requests for
reimbursement submitted during that 3 month period, the
Secretary shall make payments on a pro-rata basis, and those
payments shall be considered payment in full for the requests
submitted. If the amount of money in the fund exceeds the
amount necessary to pay all requests for reimbursement during
that 3-month period, the Secretary shall disburse the excess
to the providers on a pro rata basis.
    (p) The Monitoring Device Driving Permit Administration
Fee Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury.
The Secretary shall, subject to appropriation by the General
Assembly, use the money paid into this fund to offset its

to the Supreme Court for funds for basic services, and may
apply for funds for new and expanded programs or
Individualized Services and Programs. Costs shall be
reimbursed monthly based on a plan and budget approved by the
Supreme Court. No Department may be reimbursed for costs which
exceed or are not provided for in the approved annual plan and
budget. After the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1985, each county must provide basic services in accordance
with the annual plan and standards created by the division. No
department may receive funds for new or expanded programs or
individualized services and programs unless they are in

    beginning July 1, 1995, and an additional $250 per month
    beginning each July 1st thereafter until the positions
    receive 100% salary reimbursement. Allocation of such
    positions will be based on comparative need considering
    capacity, staff/resident ratio, physical plant and

    Section on an annual basis is less than the amount the
    county had received during the 12 month period immediately
    prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of
    1985, then the Division shall reimburse the amount of the
    difference to the county. The effect of paragraph (b) of
    subsection 7 of this Section shall be considered in
    implementing this supplemental reimbursement provision.
    (5) The Division shall provide funds beginning on April 1,
1987 for the counties to provide Individualized Services and

    (6) A Probation and Court Services Department in order to
be eligible for the reimbursement must submit to the Supreme
Court an application containing such information and in such a
form and by such dates as the Supreme Court may require.
Departments to be eligible for funding must satisfy the
following conditions:
        (a) The Department shall have on file with the Supreme
    Court an annual Probation plan for continuing, improved,
    and new Probation and Court Services Programs approved by
    the Supreme Court or its designee. This plan shall
    indicate the manner in which Probation and Court Services
    will be delivered and improved, consistent with the
    minimum standards and regulations for Probation and Court
    Services, as established by the Supreme Court. In counties
    with more than one Probation and Court Services Department
    eligible to receive funds, all Departments within that
    county must submit plans which are approved by the Supreme
    Court.
        (b) The annual probation plan shall seek to generally
    improve the quality of probation services and to reduce
    the commitment of adult offenders to the Department of
    Corrections and to reduce the commitment of juvenile
    offenders to the Department of Juvenile Justice and shall
    require, when appropriate, coordination with the
    Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile
    Justice, and the Department of Children and Family
    Services in the development and use of community
    resources, information systems, case review and permanency
    planning systems to avoid the duplication of services.
        (c) The Department shall be in compliance with
    standards developed by the Supreme Court for basic, new
    and expanded services, training, personnel hiring and
    promotion.
        (d) The Department shall in its annual plan indicate
    the manner in which it will support the rights of crime
    victims and in which manner it will implement Article I,
    Section 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and in what
    manner it will coordinate crime victims' support services
    with other criminal justice agencies within its
    jurisdiction, including but not limited to, the State's
    Attorney, the Sheriff and any municipal police department.
    (7) No statement shall be verified by the Supreme Court or
its designee or vouchered by the Comptroller unless each of
the following conditions have been met:
        (a) The probation officer is a full-time employee
    appointed by the Chief Judge to provide probation services
    or a part-time employee who serves as a detention officer.
        (b) The probation officer, in order to be eligible for
    State reimbursement, is receiving a salary of at least
    $17,000 per year, unless serving as a part-time detention
    officer.
        (c) The probation officer is appointed or was
    reappointed in accordance with minimum qualifications or
    criteria established by the Supreme Court; however, all
    probation officers appointed prior to January 1, 1978,
    shall be exempted from the minimum requirements
    established by the Supreme Court. Payments shall be made
    to counties employing these exempted probation officers as
    long as they are employed in the position held on the
    effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985. Promotions
    shall be governed by minimum qualifications established by
    the Supreme Court.
        (d) The Department has an established compensation
    schedule approved by the Supreme Court. The compensation
    schedule shall include salary ranges with necessary
    increments to compensate each employee. The increments
    shall, within the salary ranges, be based on such factors
    as bona fide occupational qualifications, performance, and
    length of service. Each position in the Department shall
    be placed on the compensation schedule according to job
    duties and responsibilities of such position. The policy
    and procedures of the compensation schedule shall be made
    available to each employee.
    (8) In order to obtain full reimbursement of all approved
costs, each Department must continue to employ at least the
same number of probation officers and probation managers as
were authorized for employment for the fiscal year which
includes January 1, 1985. This number shall be designated as
the base amount of the Department. No positions approved by
the Division under paragraph (b) of subsection 4 will be
included in the base amount. In the event that the Department
employs fewer Probation officers and Probation managers than
the base amount for a period of 90 days, funding received by
the Department under subsection 4 of this Section may be
reduced on a monthly basis by the amount of the current
salaries of any positions below the base amount.
    (9) Before the 15th day of each month, the treasurer of any
county which has a Probation and Court Services Department, or
the treasurer of the most populous county, in the case of a
Probation or Court Services Department funded by more than one
county, shall submit an itemized statement of all approved
costs incurred in the delivery of Basic Probation and Court
Services under this Act to the Supreme Court. The treasurer
may also submit an itemized statement of all approved costs
incurred in the delivery of new and expanded Probation and
Court Services as well as Individualized Services and
Programs. The Supreme Court or its designee shall verify
compliance with this Section and shall examine and audit the
monthly statement and, upon finding them to be correct, shall
forward them to the Comptroller for payment to the county
treasurer. In the case of payment to a treasurer of a county
which is the most populous of counties sharing the salary and
expenses of a Probation and Court Services Department, the
treasurer shall divide the money between the counties in a
manner that reflects each county's share of the cost incurred
by the Department.
    (10) The county treasurer must certify that funds received
under this Section shall be used solely to maintain and
improve Probation and Court Services. The county or circuit
shall remain in compliance with all standards, policies and
regulations established by the Supreme Court. If at any time
the Supreme Court determines that a county or circuit is not in
compliance, the Supreme Court shall immediately notify the
Chief Judge, county board chairman and the Director of Court
Services Chief Probation Officer. If after 90 days of written
notice the noncompliance still exists, the Supreme Court shall
be required to reduce the amount of monthly reimbursement by
10%. An additional 10% reduction of monthly reimbursement
shall occur for each consecutive month of noncompliance.
Except as provided in subsection 5 of Section 15, funding to
counties shall commence on April 1, 1986. Funds received under
this Act shall be used to provide for Probation Department
expenses including those required under Section 13 of this
Act. The Mandatory Arbitration Fund may be used to provide for
Probation Department expenses, including those required under
Section 13 of this Act.
    (11) The respective counties shall be responsible for
capital and space costs, fringe benefits, clerical costs,
equipment, telecommunications, postage, commodities and
printing.
    (12) For purposes of this Act only, probation officers
shall be considered peace officers. In the exercise of their
official duties, probation officers, sheriffs, and police
officers may, anywhere within the State, arrest any
probationer who is in violation of any of the conditions of his
or her probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, and
it shall be the duty of the officer making the arrest to take
the probationer before the Court having jurisdiction over the
probationer for further order.

    (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the
administrator shall deposit in the Unclaimed Property Trust
Fund all funds received under this Act, including proceeds
from the sale of property under Article 7. The administrator
may deposit any amount in the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund
into the State Pensions Fund during the fiscal year at his or
her discretion; however, he or she shall, on April 15 and
October 15 of each year, deposit any amount in the Unclaimed
Property Trust Fund exceeding $2,500,000 into the State
Pensions Fund. If on either April 15 or October 15, the
administrator determines that a balance of $2,500,000 is
insufficient for the prompt payment of unclaimed property
claims authorized under this Act, the administrator may retain
more than $2,500,000 in the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund in
order to ensure the prompt payment of claims. Beginning in
State fiscal year 2024 2023, all amounts that are deposited
into the State Pensions Fund from the Unclaimed Property Trust
Fund shall be apportioned to the designated retirement systems
as provided in subsection (c-6) of Section 8.12 of the State
Finance Act to reduce their actuarial reserve deficiencies.
    (b) The administrator shall make prompt payment of claims
he or she duly allows as provided for in this Act from the
Unclaimed Property Trust Fund. This shall constitute an
irrevocable and continuing appropriation of all amounts in the
Unclaimed Property Trust Fund necessary to make prompt payment
of claims duly allowed by the administrator pursuant to this
Act.
