SB3798 Enrolled- 12 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

2        request;

21    identified by the head of the public body. The exemption
22    provided in this paragraph (f) extends to all those records
23    of officers and agencies of the General Assembly that
24    pertain to the preparation of legislative documents.

6    preparation of a bid solicitation shall be exempt until an
7    award or final selection is made.

13    this paragraph (i) does not extend to requests made by news
14    media as defined in Section 2 of this Act when the

8    Sec. 15. Before any person is released from a facility
9operated by the State pursuant to an absolute discharge or a
10conditional discharge from hospitalization under this Act, the
11facility director of the facility in which such person is
12hospitalized shall determine that such person is not currently
13in need of hospitalization and:
14        (a) is able to live independently in the community; or
15        (b) requires further oversight and supervisory care
16    for which arrangements have been made with responsible
17    relatives or supervised residential program approved by
18    the Department; or
19        (c) requires further personal care or general
20    oversight as defined by the ID/DD Community Care Act or the
21    Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act, for which
22    placement arrangements have been made with a suitable
23    family home or other licensed facility approved by the
24    Department under this Section; or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 120 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (d) requires community mental health services for
2    which arrangements have been made with a community mental
3    health provider in accordance with criteria, standards,
4    and procedures promulgated by rule.
5    Such determination shall be made in writing and shall
6become a part of the facility record of such absolutely or
7conditionally discharged person. When the determination
8indicates that the condition of the person to be granted an
9absolute discharge or a conditional discharge is described
10under subparagraph (c) or (d) of this Section, the name and
11address of the continuing care facility or home to which such
12person is to be released shall be entered in the facility
13record. Where a discharge from a mental health facility is made
14under subparagraph (c), the Department shall assign the person
15so discharged to an existing community based not-for-profit
16agency for participation in day activities suitable to the
17person's needs, such as but not limited to social and
18vocational rehabilitation, and other recreational, educational
19and financial activities unless the community based
20not-for-profit agency is unqualified to accept such
21assignment. Where the clientele of any not-for-profit agency
22increases as a result of assignments under this amendatory Act
23of 1977 by more than 3% over the prior year, the Department
24shall fully reimburse such agency for the costs of providing
25services to such persons in excess of such 3% increase. The
26Department shall keep written records detailing how many

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 121 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1persons have been assigned to a community based not-for-profit
2agency and how many persons were not so assigned because the
3community based agency was unable to accept the assignments, in
4accordance with criteria, standards, and procedures
5promulgated by rule. Whenever a community based agency is found
6to be unable to accept the assignments, the name of the agency
7and the reason for the finding shall be included in the report.
8    Insofar as desirable in the interests of the former
9recipient, the facility, program or home in which the
10discharged person is to be placed shall be located in or near
11the community in which the person resided prior to
12hospitalization or in the community in which the person's
13family or nearest next of kin presently reside. Placement of
14the discharged person in facilities, programs or homes located
15outside of this State shall not be made by the Department
16unless there are no appropriate facilities, programs or homes
17available within this State. Out-of-state placements shall be
18subject to return of recipients so placed upon the availability
19of facilities, programs or homes within this State to
20accommodate these recipients, except where placement in a
21contiguous state results in locating a recipient in a facility
22or program closer to the recipient's home or family. If an
23appropriate facility or program becomes available equal to or
24closer to the recipient's home or family, the recipient shall
25be returned to and placed at the appropriate facility or
26program within this State.

1    To place any person who is under a program of the
2Department at board in a suitable family home or in such other
3facility or program as the Department may consider desirable.
4The Department may place in licensed nursing homes, sheltered
5care homes, or homes for the aged those persons whose
6behavioral manifestations and medical and nursing care needs
7are such as to be substantially indistinguishable from persons
8already living in such facilities. Prior to any placement by
9the Department under this Section, a determination shall be
10made by the personnel of the Department, as to the capability
11and suitability of such facility to adequately meet the needs
12of the person to be discharged. When specialized programs are
13necessary in order to enable persons in need of supervised
14living to develop and improve in the community, the Department
15shall place such persons only in specialized residential care
16facilities which shall meet Department standards including
17restricted admission policy, special staffing and programming
18for social and vocational rehabilitation, in addition to the
19requirements of the appropriate State licensing agency. The
20Department shall not place any new person in a facility the
21license of which has been revoked or not renewed on grounds of
22inadequate programming, staffing, or medical or adjunctive
23services, regardless of the pendency of an action for
24administrative review regarding such revocation or failure to
25renew. Before the Department may transfer any person to a

SB3798 Enrolled- 123 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1or place any person in a specialized residential care facility
2the Department shall notify the person to be transferred, or a
3responsible relative of such person, in writing, at least 30
4days before the proposed transfer, with respect to all the
5relevant facts concerning such transfer, except in cases of
6emergency when such notice is not required. If either the
7person to be transferred or a responsible relative of such
8person objects to such transfer, in writing to the Department,
9at any time after receipt of notice and before the transfer,
10the facility director of the facility in which the person was a
11recipient shall immediately schedule a hearing at the facility
12with the presence of the facility director, the person who
13objected to such proposed transfer, and a psychiatrist who is
14familiar with the record of the person to be transferred. Such
15person to be transferred or a responsible relative may be
16represented by such counsel or interested party as he may
17appoint, who may present such testimony with respect to the
18proposed transfer. Testimony presented at such hearing shall
19become a part of the facility record of the
20person-to-be-transferred. The record of testimony shall be
21held in the person-to-be-transferred's record in the central
22files of the facility. If such hearing is held a transfer may
23only be implemented, if at all, in accordance with the results
24of such hearing. Within 15 days after such hearing the facility
25director shall deliver his findings based on the record of the
26case and the testimony presented at the hearing, by registered

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 124 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1or certified mail, to the parties to such hearing. The findings
2of the facility director shall be deemed a final administrative
3decision of the Department. For purposes of this Section, "case
4of emergency" means those instances in which the health of the
5person to be transferred is imperiled and the most appropriate
6mental health care or medical care is available at a licensed
7nursing home, sheltered care home or home for the aged or a
8specialized residential care facility.
9    Prior to placement of any person in a facility under this
10Section the Department shall ensure that an appropriate
11training plan for staff is provided by the facility. Said
12training may include instruction and demonstration by
13Department personnel qualified in the area of mental illness or
14intellectual disabilities, as applicable to the person to be
15placed. Training may be given both at the facility from which
16the recipient is transferred and at the facility receiving the
17recipient, and may be available on a continuing basis
18subsequent to placement. In a facility providing services to
19former Department recipients, training shall be available as
20necessary for facility staff. Such training will be on a
21continuing basis as the needs of the facility and recipients
22change and further training is required.
23    The Department shall not place any person in a facility
24which does not have appropriately trained staff in sufficient
25numbers to accommodate the recipient population already at the
26facility. As a condition of further or future placements of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 125 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1persons, the Department shall require the employment of
2additional trained staff members at the facility where said
3persons are to be placed. The Secretary, or his or her
4designate, shall establish written guidelines for placement of
5persons in facilities under this Act. The Department shall keep
6written records detailing which facilities have been
7determined to have staff who have been appropriately trained by
8the Department and all training which it has provided or
9required under this Section.
10    Bills for the support for a person boarded out shall be
11payable monthly out of the proper maintenance funds and shall
12be audited as any other accounts of the Department. If a person
13is placed in a facility or program outside the Department, the
14Department may pay the actual costs of residence, treatment or
15maintenance in such facility and may collect such actual costs
16or a portion thereof from the recipient or the estate of a
17person placed in accordance with this Section.
18    Other than those placed in a family home the Department
19shall cause all persons who are placed in a facility, as
20defined by the ID/DD Community Care Act or the Specialized
21Mental Health Rehabilitation Act, or in designated community
22living situations or programs, to be visited at least once
23during the first month following placement, and once every
24month thereafter for the first year following placement when
25indicated, but at least quarterly. After the first year, the
26Department shall determine at what point the appropriate

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 126 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1licensing entity for the facility or designated community
2living situation or program will assume the responsibility of
3ensuring that appropriate services are being provided to the
4resident. Once that responsibility is assumed, the Department
5may discontinue such visits. If a long term care facility has
6periodic care plan conferences, the visitor may participate in
7those conferences, if such participation is approved by the
8resident or the resident's guardian. Visits shall be made by
9qualified and trained Department personnel, or their designee,
10in the area of mental health or developmental disabilities
11applicable to the person visited, and shall be made on a more
12frequent basis when indicated. The Department may not use as
13designee any personnel connected with or responsible to the
14representatives of any facility in which persons who have been
15transferred under this Section are placed. In the course of
16such visit there shall be consideration of the following areas,
17but not limited thereto: effects of transfer on physical and
18mental health of the person, sufficiency of nursing care and
19medical coverage required by the person, sufficiency of staff
20personnel and ability to provide basic care for the person,
21social, recreational and programmatic activities available for
22the person, and other appropriate aspects of the person's

16    Section 110. The Illinois Power Agency Act is amended by
17changing Sections 1-5, 1-10, 1-20, and 1-75 as follows:
 
18    (20 ILCS 3855/1-5)
19    Sec. 1-5. Legislative declarations and findings. The
20General Assembly finds and declares:
21        (1) The health, welfare, and prosperity of all Illinois
22    citizens require the provision of adequate, reliable,
23    affordable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable
24    electric service at the lowest total cost over time, taking

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 172 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    into account any benefits of price stability.
2        (2) The transition to retail competition is not
3    complete. Some customers, especially residential and small
4    commercial customers, have failed to benefit from lower
5    electricity costs from retail and wholesale competition.
6        (3) Escalating prices for electricity in Illinois pose
7    a serious threat to the economic well-being, health, and
8    safety of the residents of and the commerce and industry of
9    the State.
10        (4) To protect against this threat to economic
11    well-being, health, and safety it is necessary to improve
12    the process of procuring electricity to serve Illinois
13    residents, to promote investment in energy efficiency and
14    demand-response measures, and to support development of
15    clean coal technologies and renewable resources.
16        (5) Procuring a diverse electricity supply portfolio
17    will ensure the lowest total cost over time for adequate,
18    reliable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable
19    electric service.
20        (6) Including cost-effective renewable resources in
21    that portfolio will reduce long-term direct and indirect
22    costs to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and
23    by avoiding or delaying the need for new generation,
24    transmission, and distribution infrastructure.
25        (7) Energy efficiency, demand-response measures, and
26    renewable energy are resources currently underused in

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 173 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    Illinois.
2        (8) The State should encourage the use of advanced
3    clean coal technologies that capture and sequester carbon
4    dioxide emissions to advance environmental protection
5    goals and to demonstrate the viability of coal and
6    coal-derived fuels in a carbon-constrained economy.
7        (9) The General Assembly enacted Public Act 96-0795 to
8    reform the State's purchasing processes, recognizing that
9    government procurement is susceptible to abuse if
10    structural and procedural safeguards are not in place to
11    ensure independence, insulation, oversight, and
12    transparency.
13        (10) The principles that underlie the procurement
14    reform legislation apply also in the context of power
15    purchasing.
16    The General Assembly therefore finds that it is necessary
17to create the Illinois Power Agency and that the goals and
18objectives of that Agency are to accomplish each of the
19following:
20        (A) Develop electricity procurement plans to ensure
21    adequate, reliable, affordable, efficient, and
22    environmentally sustainable electric service at the lowest
23    total cost over time, taking into account any benefits of
24    price stability, for electric utilities that on December
25    31, 2005 provided electric service to at least 100,000
26    customers in Illinois and for small multi-jurisdictional

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 174 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    electric utilities that (i) on December 31, 2005 served
2    less than 100,000 customers in Illinois and (ii) request a
3    procurement plan for their Illinois jurisdictional load.
4    The procurement plan shall be updated on an annual basis
5    and shall include renewable energy resources sufficient to
6    achieve the standards specified in this Act.
7        (B) Conduct competitive procurement processes to
8    procure the supply resources identified in the procurement
9    plan.
10        (C) Develop electric generation and co-generation
11    facilities that use indigenous coal or renewable
12    resources, or both, financed with bonds issued by the
13    Illinois Finance Authority.
14        (D) Supply electricity from the Agency's facilities at
15    cost to one or more of the following: municipal electric
16    systems, governmental aggregators, or rural electric
17    cooperatives in Illinois.
18        (E) Ensure that the process of power procurement is
19    conducted in an ethical and transparent fashion, immune
20    from improper influence.
21        (F) Continue to review its policies and practices to
22    determine how best to meet its mission of providing the
23    lowest cost power to the greatest number of people, at any
24    given point in time, in accordance with applicable law.
25        (G) Operate in a structurally insulated, independent,
26    and transparent fashion so that nothing impedes the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 175 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    Agency's mission to secure power at the best prices the
2    market will bear, provided that the Agency meets all
3    applicable legal requirements.

2demand-response measures, the benefit-cost ratio is greater
3than one. The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the net
4present value of the total benefits of the program to the net
5present value of the total costs as calculated over the
6lifetime of the measures. A total resource cost test compares
7the sum of avoided electric utility costs, representing the
8benefits that accrue to the system and the participant in the
9delivery of those efficiency measures, as well as other
10quantifiable societal benefits, including avoided natural gas
11utility costs, to the sum of all incremental costs of end-use
12measures that are implemented due to the program (including
13both utility and participant contributions), plus costs to
14administer, deliver, and evaluate each demand-side program, to
15quantify the net savings obtained by substituting the
16demand-side program for supply resources. In calculating
17avoided costs of power and energy that an electric utility
18would otherwise have had to acquire, reasonable estimates shall
19be included of financial costs likely to be imposed by future
20regulations and legislation on emissions of greenhouse gases.

1    (c) Renewable portfolio standard.
2        (1) The procurement plans shall include cost-effective
3    renewable energy resources. A minimum percentage of each
4    utility's total supply to serve the load of eligible retail
5    customers, as defined in Section 16-111.5(a) of the Public
6    Utilities Act, procured for each of the following years
7    shall be generated from cost-effective renewable energy
8    resources: at least 2% by June 1, 2008; at least 4% by June
9    1, 2009; at least 5% by June 1, 2010; at least 6% by June 1,

20    June 1, 2013; 3% by June 1, 2014; and 6% by June 1, 2015 and
21    thereafter. Of the renewable energy resources procured
22    pursuant to this Section, at least the following
23    percentages shall come from distributed renewable energy
24    generation devices: 0.5% by June 1, 2013, 0.75% by June 1,
25    2014, and 1% by June 1, 2015 and thereafter. To the extent
26    available, half of the renewable energy resources procured

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 196 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    from distributed renewable energy generation shall come
2    from devices of less than 25 kilowatts in nameplate
3    capacity. Renewable energy resources procured from
4    distributed generation devices may also count towards the
5    required percentages for wind and solar photovoltaics.
6    Procurement of renewable energy resources from distributed
7    renewable energy generation devices shall be done on an
8    annual basis through multi-year contracts of no less than 5
9    years, and shall consist solely of renewable energy
10    credits.
11        The Agency shall create credit requirements for
12    suppliers of distributed renewable energy. In order to
13    minimize the administrative burden on contracting
14    entities, the Agency shall solicit the use of third-party
15    organizations to aggregate distributed renewable energy
16    into groups of no less than one megawatt in installed
17    capacity. These third-party organizations shall administer
18    contracts with individual distributed renewable energy
19    generation device owners. An individual distributed
20    renewable energy generation device owner shall have the
21    ability to measure the output of his or her distributed
22    renewable energy generation device.
23        For purposes of this subsection (c), "cost-effective"
24    means that the costs of procuring renewable energy
25    resources do not cause the limit stated in paragraph (2) of
26    this subsection (c) to be exceeded and do not exceed

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 197 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    benchmarks based on market prices for renewable energy
2    resources in the region, which shall be developed by the
3    procurement administrator, in consultation with the
4    Commission staff, Agency staff, and the procurement
5    monitor and shall be subject to Commission review and
6    approval.
7        (2) For purposes of this subsection (c), the required
8    procurement of cost-effective renewable energy resources
9    for a particular year shall be measured as a percentage of
10    the actual amount of electricity (megawatt-hours) supplied
11    by the electric utility to eligible retail customers in the
12    planning year ending immediately prior to the procurement.
13    For purposes of this subsection (c), the amount paid per
14    kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
15    service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
16    of this subsection (c), the total amount paid for electric
17    service includes without limitation amounts paid for
18    supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges, and add-on
19    taxes.
20        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
21    (c), the total of renewable energy resources procured
22    pursuant to the procurement plan for any single year shall
23    be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the annual
24    estimated average net increase due to the costs of these
25    resources included in the amounts paid by eligible retail
26    customers in connection with electric service to:

10        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
11        during the year ending May 31, 2009 or 1.5% of the
12        amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during
13        the year ending May 31, 2007;

16        during the year ending May 31, 2010 or 2% of the amount
17        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
18        year ending May 31, 2007; and
19            (E) thereafter, the amount of renewable energy
20        resources procured pursuant to the procurement plan
21        for any single year shall be reduced by an amount
22        necessary to limit the estimated average net increase
23        due to the cost of these resources included in the
24        amounts paid by eligible retail customers in
25        connection with electric service to no more than the
26        greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per kilowatthour

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 199 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        by those customers during the year ending May 31, 2007
2        or the incremental amount per kilowatthour paid for
3        these resources in 2011.
4            No later than June 30, 2011, the Commission shall
5        review the limitation on the amount of renewable energy
6        resources procured pursuant to this subsection (c) and
7        report to the General Assembly its findings as to
8        whether that limitation unduly constrains the
9        procurement of cost-effective renewable energy
10        resources.
11        (3) Through June 1, 2011, renewable energy resources
12    shall be counted for the purpose of meeting the renewable
13    energy standards set forth in paragraph (1) of this
14    subsection (c) only if they are generated from facilities
15    located in the State, provided that cost-effective
16    renewable energy resources are available from those
17    facilities. If those cost-effective resources are not
18    available in Illinois, they shall be procured in states
19    that adjoin Illinois and may be counted towards compliance.
20    If those cost-effective resources are not available in
21    Illinois or in states that adjoin Illinois, they shall be
22    purchased elsewhere and shall be counted towards
23    compliance. After June 1, 2011, cost-effective renewable
24    energy resources located in Illinois and in states that
25    adjoin Illinois may be counted towards compliance with the
26    standards set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 200 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (c). If those cost-effective resources are not available in
2    Illinois or in states that adjoin Illinois, they shall be
3    purchased elsewhere and shall be counted towards
4    compliance.
5        (4) The electric utility shall retire all renewable
6    energy credits used to comply with the standard.
7        (5) Beginning with the year commencing June 1, 2010, an
8    electric utility subject to this subsection (c) shall apply
9    the lesser of the maximum alternative compliance payment
10    rate or the most recent estimated alternative compliance
11    payment rate for its service territory for the
12    corresponding compliance period, established pursuant to
13    subsection (d) of Section 16-115D of the Public Utilities
14    Act to its retail customers that take service pursuant to
15    the electric utility's hourly pricing tariff or tariffs.
16    The electric utility shall retain all amounts collected as
17    a result of the application of the alternative compliance
18    payment rate or rates to such customers, and, beginning in
19    2011, the utility shall include in the information provided
20    under item (1) of subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of the
21    Public Utilities Act the amounts collected under the
22    alternative compliance payment rate or rates for the prior
23    year ending May 31. Notwithstanding any limitation on the
24    procurement of renewable energy resources imposed by item
25    (2) of this subsection (c), the Agency shall increase its
26    spending on the purchase of renewable energy resources to

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 201 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    be procured by the electric utility for the next plan year
2    by an amount equal to the amounts collected by the utility
3    under the alternative compliance payment rate or rates in
4    the prior year ending May 31.
5    (d) Clean coal portfolio standard.
6        (1) The procurement plans shall include electricity
7    generated using clean coal. Each utility shall enter into
8    one or more sourcing agreements with the initial clean coal
9    facility, as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection
10    (d), covering electricity generated by the initial clean
11    coal facility representing at least 5% of each utility's
12    total supply to serve the load of eligible retail customers
13    in 2015 and each year thereafter, as described in paragraph
14    (3) of this subsection (d), subject to the limits specified
15    in paragraph (2) of this subsection (d). It is the goal of
16    the State that by January 1, 2025, 25% of the electricity
17    used in the State shall be generated by cost-effective
18    clean coal facilities. For purposes of this subsection (d),
19    "cost-effective" means that the expenditures pursuant to
20    such sourcing agreements do not cause the limit stated in
21    paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) to be exceeded and do
22    not exceed cost-based benchmarks, which shall be developed
23    to assess all expenditures pursuant to such sourcing
24    agreements covering electricity generated by clean coal
25    facilities, other than the initial clean coal facility, by
26    the procurement administrator, in consultation with the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 202 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    Commission staff, Agency staff, and the procurement
2    monitor and shall be subject to Commission review and
3    approval.
4        A utility party to a sourcing agreement shall
5    immediately retire any emission credits that it receives in
6    connection with the electricity covered by such agreement.
7        Utilities shall maintain adequate records documenting
8    the purchases under the sourcing agreement to comply with
9    this subsection (d) and shall file an accounting with the
10    load forecast that must be filed with the Agency by July 15
11    of each year, in accordance with subsection (d) of Section
12    16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
13        A utility shall be deemed to have complied with the
14    clean coal portfolio standard specified in this subsection
15    (d) if the utility enters into a sourcing agreement as
16    required by this subsection (d).
17        (2) For purposes of this subsection (d), the required
18    execution of sourcing agreements with the initial clean
19    coal facility for a particular year shall be measured as a
20    percentage of the actual amount of electricity
21    (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric utility to
22    eligible retail customers in the planning year ending
23    immediately prior to the agreement's execution. For
24    purposes of this subsection (d), the amount paid per
25    kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
26    service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 203 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    of this subsection (d), the total amount paid for electric
2    service includes without limitation amounts paid for
3    supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges and add-on
4    taxes.
5        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
6    (d), the total amount paid under sourcing agreements with
7    clean coal facilities pursuant to the procurement plan for
8    any given year shall be reduced by an amount necessary to
9    limit the annual estimated average net increase due to the
10    costs of these resources included in the amounts paid by
11    eligible retail customers in connection with electric
12    service to:
13            (A) in 2010, no more than 0.5% of the amount paid
14        per kilowatthour by those customers during the year
15        ending May 31, 2009;
16            (B) in 2011, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
17        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
18        during the year ending May 31, 2010 or 1% of the amount
19        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
20        year ending May 31, 2009;
21            (C) in 2012, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
22        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
23        during the year ending May 31, 2011 or 1.5% of the
24        amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during
25        the year ending May 31, 2009;
26            (D) in 2013, the greater of an additional 0.5% of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 204 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
2        during the year ending May 31, 2012 or 2% of the amount
3        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
4        year ending May 31, 2009; and
5            (E) thereafter, the total amount paid under
6        sourcing agreements with clean coal facilities
7        pursuant to the procurement plan for any single year
8        shall be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the
9        estimated average net increase due to the cost of these
10        resources included in the amounts paid by eligible
11        retail customers in connection with electric service
12        to no more than the greater of (i) 2.015% of the amount
13        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
14        year ending May 31, 2009 or (ii) the incremental amount
15        per kilowatthour paid for these resources in 2013.
16        These requirements may be altered only as provided by
17        statute.
18        No later than June 30, 2015, the Commission shall
19    review the limitation on the total amount paid under
20    sourcing agreements, if any, with clean coal facilities
21    pursuant to this subsection (d) and report to the General
22    Assembly its findings as to whether that limitation unduly
23    constrains the amount of electricity generated by
24    cost-effective clean coal facilities that is covered by
25    sourcing agreements.
26        (3) Initial clean coal facility. In order to promote

1    development of clean coal facilities in Illinois, each
2    electric utility subject to this Section shall execute a
3    sourcing agreement to source electricity from a proposed
4    clean coal facility in Illinois (the "initial clean coal
5    facility") that will have a nameplate capacity of at least
6    500 MW when commercial operation commences, that has a
7    final Clean Air Act permit on the effective date of this
8    amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, and that will
9    meet the definition of clean coal facility in Section 1-10
10    of this Act when commercial operation commences. The
11    sourcing agreements with this initial clean coal facility
12    shall be subject to both approval of the initial clean coal
13    facility by the General Assembly and satisfaction of the
14    requirements of paragraph (4) of this subsection (d) and
15    shall be executed within 90 days after any such approval by
16    the General Assembly. The Agency and the Commission shall
17    have authority to inspect all books and records associated
18    with the initial clean coal facility during the term of
19    such a sourcing agreement. A utility's sourcing agreement
20    for electricity produced by the initial clean coal facility
21    shall include:
22            (A) a formula contractual price (the "contract
23        price") approved pursuant to paragraph (4) of this
24        subsection (d), which shall:
25                (i) be determined using a cost of service
26            methodology employing either a level or deferred

1            capital recovery component, based on a capital
2            structure consisting of 45% equity and 55% debt,
3            and a return on equity as may be approved by the
4            Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which in any
5            case may not exceed the lower of 11.5% or the rate
6            of return approved by the General Assembly
7            pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection (d);
8            and
9                (ii) provide that all miscellaneous net
10            revenue, including but not limited to net revenue
11            from the sale of emission allowances, if any,
12            substitute natural gas, if any, grants or other
13            support provided by the State of Illinois or the
14            United States Government, firm transmission
15            rights, if any, by-products produced by the
16            facility, energy or capacity derived from the
17            facility and not covered by a sourcing agreement
18            pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection (d) or
19            item (5) of subsection (d) of Section 16-115 of the
20            Public Utilities Act, whether generated from the
21            synthesis gas derived from coal, from SNG, or from
22            natural gas, shall be credited against the revenue
23            requirement for this initial clean coal facility;
24            (B) power purchase provisions, which shall:
25                (i) provide that the utility party to such
26            sourcing agreement shall pay the contract price

1            for electricity delivered under such sourcing
2            agreement;
3                (ii) require delivery of electricity to the
4            regional transmission organization market of the
5            utility that is party to such sourcing agreement;
6                (iii) require the utility party to such
7            sourcing agreement to buy from the initial clean
8            coal facility in each hour an amount of energy
9            equal to all clean coal energy made available from
10            the initial clean coal facility during such hour
11            times a fraction, the numerator of which is such
12            utility's retail market sales of electricity
13            (expressed in kilowatthours sold) in the State
14            during the prior calendar month and the
15            denominator of which is the total retail market
16            sales of electricity (expressed in kilowatthours
17            sold) in the State by utilities during such prior
18            month and the sales of electricity (expressed in
19            kilowatthours sold) in the State by alternative
20            retail electric suppliers during such prior month
21            that are subject to the requirements of this
22            subsection (d) and paragraph (5) of subsection (d)
23            of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act,
24            provided that the amount purchased by the utility
25            in any year will be limited by paragraph (2) of
26            this subsection (d); and

1                (iv) be considered pre-existing contracts in
2            such utility's procurement plans for eligible
3            retail customers;
4            (C) contract for differences provisions, which
5        shall:
6                (i) require the utility party to such sourcing
7            agreement to contract with the initial clean coal
8            facility in each hour with respect to an amount of
9            energy equal to all clean coal energy made
10            available from the initial clean coal facility
11            during such hour times a fraction, the numerator of
12            which is such utility's retail market sales of
13            electricity (expressed in kilowatthours sold) in
14            the utility's service territory in the State
15            during the prior calendar month and the
16            denominator of which is the total retail market
17            sales of electricity (expressed in kilowatthours
18            sold) in the State by utilities during such prior
19            month and the sales of electricity (expressed in
20            kilowatthours sold) in the State by alternative
21            retail electric suppliers during such prior month
22            that are subject to the requirements of this
23            subsection (d) and paragraph (5) of subsection (d)
24            of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act,
25            provided that the amount paid by the utility in any
26            year will be limited by paragraph (2) of this

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 209 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            subsection (d);
2                (ii) provide that the utility's payment
3            obligation in respect of the quantity of
4            electricity determined pursuant to the preceding
5            clause (i) shall be limited to an amount equal to
6            (1) the difference between the contract price
7            determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) of
8            paragraph (3) of this subsection (d) and the
9            day-ahead price for electricity delivered to the
10            regional transmission organization market of the
11            utility that is party to such sourcing agreement
12            (or any successor delivery point at which such
13            utility's supply obligations are financially
14            settled on an hourly basis) (the "reference
15            price") on the day preceding the day on which the
16            electricity is delivered to the initial clean coal
17            facility busbar, multiplied by (2) the quantity of
18            electricity determined pursuant to the preceding
19            clause (i); and
20                (iii) not require the utility to take physical
21            delivery of the electricity produced by the
22            facility;
23            (D) general provisions, which shall:
24                (i) specify a term of no more than 30 years,
25            commencing on the commercial operation date of the
26            facility;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 210 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1                (ii) provide that utilities shall maintain
2            adequate records documenting purchases under the
3            sourcing agreements entered into to comply with
4            this subsection (d) and shall file an accounting
5            with the load forecast that must be filed with the
6            Agency by July 15 of each year, in accordance with
7            subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of the Public
8            Utilities Act.
9                (iii) provide that all costs associated with
10            the initial clean coal facility will be
11            periodically reported to the Federal Energy
12            Regulatory Commission and to purchasers in
13            accordance with applicable laws governing
14            cost-based wholesale power contracts;
15                (iv) permit the Illinois Power Agency to
16            assume ownership of the initial clean coal
17            facility, without monetary consideration and
18            otherwise on reasonable terms acceptable to the
19            Agency, if the Agency so requests no less than 3
20            years prior to the end of the stated contract term;
21                (v) require the owner of the initial clean coal
22            facility to provide documentation to the
23            Commission each year, starting in the facility's
24            first year of commercial operation, accurately
25            reporting the quantity of carbon emissions from
26            the facility that have been captured and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 211 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            sequestered and report any quantities of carbon
2            released from the site or sites at which carbon
3            emissions were sequestered in prior years, based
4            on continuous monitoring of such sites. If, in any
5            year after the first year of commercial operation,
6            the owner of the facility fails to demonstrate that
7            the initial clean coal facility captured and
8            sequestered at least 50% of the total carbon
9            emissions that the facility would otherwise emit
10            or that sequestration of emissions from prior
11            years has failed, resulting in the release of
12            carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the owner of
13            the facility must offset excess emissions. Any
14            such carbon offsets must be permanent, additional,
15            verifiable, real, located within the State of
16            Illinois, and legally and practicably enforceable.
17            The cost of such offsets for the facility that are
18            not recoverable shall not exceed $15 million in any
19            given year. No costs of any such purchases of
20            carbon offsets may be recovered from a utility or
21            its customers. All carbon offsets purchased for
22            this purpose and any carbon emission credits
23            associated with sequestration of carbon from the
24            facility must be permanently retired. The initial
25            clean coal facility shall not forfeit its
26            designation as a clean coal facility if the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 212 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            facility fails to fully comply with the applicable
2            carbon sequestration requirements in any given
3            year, provided the requisite offsets are
4            purchased. However, the Attorney General, on
5            behalf of the People of the State of Illinois, may
6            specifically enforce the facility's sequestration
7            requirement and the other terms of this contract
8            provision. Compliance with the sequestration
9            requirements and offset purchase requirements
10            specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d)
11            shall be reviewed annually by an independent
12            expert retained by the owner of the initial clean
13            coal facility, with the advance written approval
14            of the Attorney General. The Commission may, in the
15            course of the review specified in item (vii),
16            reduce the allowable return on equity for the
17            facility if the facility wilfully fails to comply
18            with the carbon capture and sequestration
19            requirements set forth in this item (v);
20                (vi) include limits on, and accordingly
21            provide for modification of, the amount the
22            utility is required to source under the sourcing
23            agreement consistent with paragraph (2) of this
24            subsection (d);
25                (vii) require Commission review: (1) to
26            determine the justness, reasonableness, and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 213 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            prudence of the inputs to the formula referenced in
2            subparagraphs (A)(i) through (A)(iii) of paragraph
3            (3) of this subsection (d), prior to an adjustment
4            in those inputs including, without limitation, the
5            capital structure and return on equity, fuel
6            costs, and other operations and maintenance costs
7            and (2) to approve the costs to be passed through
8            to customers under the sourcing agreement by which
9            the utility satisfies its statutory obligations.
10            Commission review shall occur no less than every 3
11            years, regardless of whether any adjustments have
12            been proposed, and shall be completed within 9
13            months;
14                (viii) limit the utility's obligation to such
15            amount as the utility is allowed to recover through
16            tariffs filed with the Commission, provided that
17            neither the clean coal facility nor the utility
18            waives any right to assert federal pre-emption or
19            any other argument in response to a purported
20            disallowance of recovery costs;
21                (ix) limit the utility's or alternative retail
22            electric supplier's obligation to incur any
23            liability until such time as the facility is in
24            commercial operation and generating power and
25            energy and such power and energy is being delivered
26            to the facility busbar;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 214 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1                (x) provide that the owner or owners of the
2            initial clean coal facility, which is the
3            counterparty to such sourcing agreement, shall
4            have the right from time to time to elect whether
5            the obligations of the utility party thereto shall
6            be governed by the power purchase provisions or the
7            contract for differences provisions;
8                (xi) append documentation showing that the
9            formula rate and contract, insofar as they relate
10            to the power purchase provisions, have been
11            approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
12            Commission pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal
13            Power Act;
14                (xii) provide that any changes to the terms of
15            the contract, insofar as such changes relate to the
16            power purchase provisions, are subject to review
17            under the public interest standard applied by the
18            Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to
19            Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act; and
20                (xiii) conform with customary lender
21            requirements in power purchase agreements used as
22            the basis for financing non-utility generators.
23        (4) Effective date of sourcing agreements with the
24    initial clean coal facility.
25        Any proposed sourcing agreement with the initial clean
26    coal facility shall not become effective unless the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 215 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    following reports are prepared and submitted and
2    authorizations and approvals obtained:
3            (i) Facility cost report. The owner of the initial
4        clean coal facility shall submit to the Commission, the
5        Agency, and the General Assembly a front-end
6        engineering and design study, a facility cost report,
7        method of financing (including but not limited to
8        structure and associated costs), and an operating and
9        maintenance cost quote for the facility (collectively
10        "facility cost report"), which shall be prepared in
11        accordance with the requirements of this paragraph (4)
12        of subsection (d) of this Section, and shall provide
13        the Commission and the Agency access to the work
14        papers, relied upon documents, and any other backup
15        documentation related to the facility cost report.
16            (ii) Commission report. Within 6 months following
17        receipt of the facility cost report, the Commission, in
18        consultation with the Agency, shall submit a report to
19        the General Assembly setting forth its analysis of the
20        facility cost report. Such report shall include, but
21        not be limited to, a comparison of the costs associated

12    Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal year
13thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State
14Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds
15authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the event
16funds, including federal and State trust funds but excluding

181994 and during each fiscal year thereafter, in excess of the
19amount to pay actual costs attributable to audits, studies, and

2determining the rate or rates at which such series of Variable
3Rate Bonds shall bear interest and the price or prices at which
4such Variable Rate Bonds shall be initially sold or remarketed
5(in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale
6Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary
7from time to time depending on criteria established in such
8Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
9limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
10rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
11necessary to cause Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be
12remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their

8arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or
9purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
10Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into
11contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
12arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
13of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
14that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
15be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
16arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
17together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
18stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
19would bear in the absence of such arrangements.
20    The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated
21to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with
22respect to interest rate protection or exchange agreements,

12pursuant to subsection (a), the Director of the Governor's
13Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
14risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
15variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
1620%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
17outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
18terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
19from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of

19authorized by law. Any amount placed in reserves is not State
20spending and shall not be considered when calculating the total
21amount of State spending. Any Public Act authorizing the use of

11limitation. The Auditor General shall file the report with the
12Secretary of State and copies with the Governor, the State
13Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
14Representatives. If the supplemental report of the Auditor
15General provides that State spending exceeds the State spending
16limitation, then the rate of tax imposed by subsections (a) and
17(b) of Section 201 is reduced as provided in this Section
18beginning on the first day of the first month to occur not less
19than 30 days after issuance of the supplemental report.

4    portion of the taxable year on or after the effective date
5    of the reduction.

8    applicable to the taxpayer under subsection (b) of Section
9    201 (without regard to the provisions of this Section)
10    times the taxpayer's net income for any portion of the
11    taxable year prior to the effective date of the reduction
12    and (ii) 4.8% of the taxpayer's net income for any portion
13    of the taxable year on or after the effective date of the
14    reduction.
15        (3) For any taxpayer for whom the rate has been reduced
16    under this Section for a portion of a taxable year, the
17    taxpayer shall determine the net income for each portion of
18    the taxable year following the rules set forth in Section
19    202.5 of this Act, using the effective date of the rate
20    reduction rather than the January 1 dates found in that
21    Section, and the day before the effective date of the rate
22    reduction rather than the December 31 dates found in that
23    Section.
24        (4) If the rate applicable to the taxpayer under
25    subsection (b) of Section 201 (without regard to the
26    provisions of this Section) changes during a portion of the

1    taxable year to which that rate is applied under paragraphs
2    (1) or (2) of this subsection (f), the tax for that portion
3    of the taxable year for purposes of paragraph (1) or (2) of
4    this subsection (f) shall be determined as if that portion
5    of the taxable year were a separate taxable year, following
6    the rules set forth in Section 202.5 of this Act. If the
7    taxpayer elects to follow the rules set forth in subsection
8    (b) of Section 202.5, the taxpayer shall follow the rules
9    set forth in subsection (b) of Section 202.5 for all
10    purposes of this Section for that taxable year.
11    (g) Notwithstanding the State spending limitation set
12forth in subsection (b) of this Section, the Governor may
13declare a fiscal emergency by filing a declaration with the
14Secretary of State and copies with the State Treasurer, the
15State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
16Representatives. The declaration must be limited to only one
17State fiscal year, set forth compelling reasons for declaring a
18fiscal emergency, and request a specific dollar amount. Unless,
19within 10 calendar days of receipt of the Governor's
20declaration, the State Comptroller or State Treasurer notifies
21the Senate and the House of Representatives that he or she does
22not concur in the Governor's declaration, State spending
23authorized by law to address the fiscal emergency in an amount
24no greater than the dollar amount specified in the declaration

SB3798 Enrolled- 303 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    of a leasehold interest in property, the lease must be for
2    a single family residence.
3    A person who is disabled during the taxable year is
4eligible to apply for this homestead exemption during that
5taxable year. Application must be made during the application
6period in effect for the county of residence. If a homestead
7exemption has been granted under this Section and the person
8awarded the exemption subsequently becomes a resident of a
9facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the
10Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act, or the ID/DD
11Community Care Act, then the exemption shall continue (i) so
12long as the residence continues to be occupied by the
13qualifying person's spouse or (ii) if the residence remains
14unoccupied but is still owned by the person qualified for the
15homestead exemption.
16    (b) For the purposes of this Section, "disabled person"
17means a person unable to engage in any substantial gainful
18activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or
19mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or
20has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period
21of not less than 12 months. Disabled persons filing claims
22under this Act shall submit proof of disability in such form
23and manner as the Department shall by rule and regulation
24prescribe. Proof that a claimant is eligible to receive
25disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act shall
26constitute proof of disability for purposes of this Act.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 304 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Issuance of an Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card
2stating that the claimant is under a Class 2 disability, as
3defined in Section 4A of The Illinois Identification Card Act,
4shall constitute proof that the person named thereon is a
5disabled person for purposes of this Act. A disabled person not
6covered under the Federal Social Security Act and not
7presenting a Disabled Person Identification Card stating that
8the claimant is under a Class 2 disability shall be examined by
9a physician designated by the Department, and his status as a
10disabled person determined using the same standards as used by
11the Social Security Administration. The costs of any required
12examination shall be borne by the claimant.
13    (c) For land improved with (i) an apartment building owned
14and operated as a cooperative or (ii) a life care facility as
15defined under Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities Act that is
16considered to be a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the
17value of the property, as equalized or assessed by the
18Department, shall be multiplied by the number of apartments or
19units occupied by a disabled person. The disabled person shall
20receive the homestead exemption upon meeting the following
21requirements:
22        (1) The property must be occupied as the primary
23    residence by the disabled person.
24        (2) The disabled person must be liable by contract with

1    care facility. In the case of a life care facility, the
2    disabled person must be liable for paying the apportioned
3    property taxes under a life care contract as defined in
4    Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities Act.
5        (3) The disabled person must be an owner of record of a
6    legal or equitable interest in the cooperative apartment
7    building. A leasehold interest does not meet this
8    requirement.
9If a homestead exemption is granted under this subsection, the
10cooperative association or management firm shall credit the
11savings resulting from the exemption to the apportioned tax
12liability of the qualifying disabled person. The chief county
13assessment officer may request reasonable proof that the
14association or firm has properly credited the exemption. A
15person who willfully refuses to credit an exemption to the
16qualified disabled person is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
17    (d) The chief county assessment officer shall determine the
18eligibility of property to receive the homestead exemption
19according to guidelines established by the Department. After a
20person has received an exemption under this Section, an annual
21verification of eligibility for the exemption shall be mailed
22to the taxpayer.
23    In counties with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the

3duplicate notice shall be in addition to the notice required to
4be provided to the person receiving the exemption and shall be
5given in the manner required by this Code. The person filing
6the request for the duplicate notice shall pay an
7administrative fee of $5 to the chief county assessment
8officer. The assessment officer shall then file the executed
9designation with the county collector, who shall issue the
10duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A
11designation may be rescinded by the disabled person in the
12manner required by the chief county assessment officer.
13    (e) A taxpayer who claims an exemption under Section 15-165
14or 15-169 may not claim an exemption under this Section.

4is located, which is occupied as a residence by a person 65
5years or older who has an ownership interest therein, legal,
6equitable or as a lessee, and on which he or she is liable for
7the payment of property taxes. Before taxable year 2004, the
8maximum reduction shall be $2,500 in counties with 3,000,000 or

14    For land improved with an apartment building owned and
15operated as a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the value
16of the property, as equalized by the Department, shall be
17multiplied by the number of apartments or units occupied by a
18person 65 years of age or older who is liable, by contract with
19the owner or owners of record, for paying property taxes on the
20property and is an owner of record of a legal or equitable

2contract with the owner or owners of record of the facility,
3for paying property taxes on the property. In a cooperative or
4a life care facility where a homestead exemption has been
5granted, the cooperative association or the management firm of
6the cooperative or facility shall credit the savings resulting
7from that exemption only to the apportioned tax liability of
8the owner or resident who qualified for the exemption. Any
9person who willfully refuses to so credit the savings shall be
10guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. Under this Section and
11Sections 15-175, 15-176, and 15-177, "life care facility" means
12a facility, as defined in Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities
13Act, with which the applicant for the homestead exemption has a

17resident of a facility licensed under the Assisted Living and
18Shared Housing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized
19Mental Health Rehabilitation Act, or the ID/DD Community Care
20Act, the exemption shall continue so long as the residence

10in the county under this Section divided by 365 and multiplied
11by the number of days during the assessment year the property
12is occupied as a residence by a person eligible for the
13exemption under this Section. The chief county assessment
14officer must adopt reasonable procedures to establish
15eligibility for this pro-rata exemption.

16give to the County Clerk a list of the assessed values of
17improvements on each parcel qualifying for this exemption that
18were added after the base year for this parcel and that
19increased the assessed value of the property.
20    In the case of land improved with an apartment building
21owned and operated as a cooperative or a building that is a
22life care facility that qualifies as a cooperative, the maximum
23reduction from the equalized assessed value of the property is
24limited to the sum of the reductions calculated for each unit
25occupied as a residence by a person or persons (i) 65 years of
26age or older, (ii) with a household income that does not exceed

1the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is liable, by contract
2with the owner or owners of record, for paying real property
3taxes on the property, and (iv) who is an owner of record of a
4legal or equitable interest in the cooperative apartment
5building, other than a leasehold interest. In the instance of a
6cooperative where a homestead exemption has been granted under
7this Section, the cooperative association or its management
8firm shall credit the savings resulting from that exemption
9only to the apportioned tax liability of the owner who
10qualified for the exemption. Any person who willfully refuses
11to credit that savings to an owner who qualifies for the
12exemption is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
13    When a homestead exemption has been granted under this
14Section and an applicant then becomes a resident of a facility
15licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act, the
16Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health
17Rehabilitation Act, or the ID/DD Community Care Act, the
18exemption shall be granted in subsequent years so long as the
19residence (i) continues to be occupied by the qualified
20applicant's spouse or (ii) if remaining unoccupied, is still
21owned by the qualified applicant for the homestead exemption.
22    Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who
23would have qualified for an exemption under this Section, and
24the surviving spouse does not independently qualify for this
25exemption because of age, the exemption under this Section
26shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year

1preceding and the taxable year of the death, provided that,
2except for age, the surviving spouse meets all other
3qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those
4years.
5    When married persons maintain separate residences, the
6exemption provided for in this Section may be claimed by only
7one of such persons and for only one residence.
8    For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than
93,000,000 inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person shall
10submit an application by February 15, 1995 to the Chief County
11Assessment Officer of the county in which the property is
12located. In counties having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, for
13taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to receive
14the exemption, a person may submit an application to the Chief
15County Assessment Officer of the county in which the property
16is located during such period as may be specified by the Chief
17County Assessment Officer. The Chief County Assessment Officer
18in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall annually
19give notice of the application period by mail or by
20publication. In counties having less than 3,000,000
21inhabitants, beginning with taxable year 1995 and thereafter,
22to receive the exemption, a person shall submit an application
23by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County Assessment
24Officer of the county in which the property is located. A
25county may, by ordinance, establish a date for submission of
26applications that is different than July 1. The applicant shall

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 320 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1submit with the application an affidavit of the applicant's
2total household income, age, marital status (and if married the
3name and address of the applicant's spouse, if known), and
4principal dwelling place of members of the household on January
51 of the taxable year. The Department shall establish, by rule,
6a method for verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by
7applicants under this Section, and the Chief County Assessment
8Officer may conduct audits of any taxpayer claiming an
9exemption under this Section to verify that the taxpayer is
10eligible to receive the exemption. Each application shall
11contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made
12under the penalties of perjury. A taxpayer's signing a
13fraudulent application under this Act is perjury, as defined in
14Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961. The applications
15shall be clearly marked as applications for the Senior Citizens
16Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and must contain a notice
17that any taxpayer who receives the exemption is subject to an
18audit by the Chief County Assessment Officer.
19    Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in
20counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
21applicant fails to file the application required by this
22Section in a timely manner and this failure to file is due to a
23mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so as to
24render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a
25timely manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend
26the filing deadline for a period of 30 days after the applicant

1regains the capability to file the application, but in no case
2may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3 months of the
3original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
4provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the
5Chief County Assessment Officer with a signed statement from
6the applicant's physician stating the nature and extent of the
7condition, that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was
8so severe that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing
9the application in a timely manner, and the date on which the
10applicant regained the capability to file the application.
11    Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other
12provision to the contrary, in counties having fewer than
133,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant fails to file the
14application required by this Section in a timely manner and
15this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition
16sufficiently severe so as to render the applicant incapable of
17filing the application in a timely manner, the Chief County
18Assessment Officer may extend the filing deadline for a period
19of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided in this
20paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County
21Assessment Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's
22physician stating the nature and extent of the condition, and
23that, in the physician's opinion, the condition was so severe
24that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
25application in a timely manner.

2denial occurred due to an error on the part of an assessment
3official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in
4taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for purposes of
5determining the amount of the exemption, shall be 1993 rather
6than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the applicant's
7exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount
8of any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995
9as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year,
10(ii) the amount of any exemption denied to the applicant in
11taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993,
12as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption
13erroneously denied for taxable year 1994.
14    For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years
15of age during the current taxable year shall be eligible to
16apply for the homestead exemption during that taxable year.
17Application shall be made during the application period in
18effect for the county of his or her residence.
19    The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the
20eligibility of a life care facility that qualifies as a
21cooperative to receive the benefits provided by this Section by
22use of an affidavit, application, visual inspection,
23questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure
24that the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited
25by the management firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
26qualifying resident. The Chief County Assessment Officer may

2credited that exemption.
3    Except as provided in this Section, all information
4received by the chief county assessment officer or the

11imposing a State or local tax. Any person who divulges any such
12information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
13judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
14    Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
15Director or chief county assessment officer from publishing or

17operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
18the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a
19way that information contained in any individual claim shall

15which shall be calculated as follows:
16    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's

5    requirement contained in subsection (a) of Section 7-142);
6    and
7        (B) the difference between the municipality charges
8    for the actual annuity granted and the aggregation of the

19annuity and amounts to be credited to the annuity reserve
20therefor shall be derived in the same manner as a regular
21annuity.

23a spouse eligible for a surviving spouse annuity, there shall
24be credited to the annuity reserve an amount to fund the cost
25of both the retirement and surviving spouse annuity as a joint
26and survivors annuity.

3death benefit payable upon the death of the annuitant shall be
4transferred to the annuity reserve from the appropriate
5municipality reserves in the same manner as the transfer for

15actuarial liabilities of the System.
16    Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
17the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
18Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
19constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State

21Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
22calculation of, the required State contributions under this
23Article in any future year until the System has reached a

19applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
20from the sum of the required State contribution for State
21fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
22total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
23issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of

7determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount
8of his or her earnings with the same employer for the previous
9academic year, determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by
10more than 6%, the participant's employer shall pay to the
11System, in addition to all other payments required under this
12Section and in accordance with guidelines established by the
13System, the present value of the increase in benefits resulting

14charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
15assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
16the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
17concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
18bill.

1Public Act 96-889 was approved on that date.
2    (b) Through State fiscal year 1995, the State contributions
3shall be paid to the System in accordance with Section 18-7 of

7Board shall submit vouchers for payment of State contributions
8to the System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the

17the State Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the
18funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.
19    If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all
20other appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal

1the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
2    (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned
3to school districts not coming under this System shall not be
4diminished or affected by the provisions of this Article.
5    (b-3) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum
6contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
7fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
8sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
9the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
10State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
11required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
12level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
13including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
14projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
15    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
16contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
17employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
18so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
19the rate required under this Section; except that in the
20following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution
21to the System shall not be less than the following indicated
22percentages of the applicable employee payroll, even if the
23indicated percentage will produce a State contribution in
24excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
25and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary
26certification made under subsection (a-1) before the effective

10    For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
11contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
12employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
13from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
142007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
15contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
16    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
17total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is

SB3798 Enrolled- 356 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the amount recertified by the System on or before April 1, 2011
2pursuant to subsection (a-1) of this Section and shall be made
3from the proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2011 pursuant to
4Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the
5pro rata share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's
6share of total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from
7the Common School Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (iii) any

10the amount certified by the System, an amount necessary to meet
11employer contributions required by the State as an employer
12under paragraph (e) of this Section, which may also be used by
13the System for contributions required by paragraph (a) of
14Section 16-127.
15    Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
16contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
17maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
18actuarial liabilities of the System.
19    Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
20the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
21Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
22constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
23contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
24Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
25calculation of, the required State contributions under this
26Article in any future year until the System has reached a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 357 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
2the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
3term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
4System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
5    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
6required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
7fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
8under this Section and certified under subsection (a-1), shall
9not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
10State contribution that would have been calculated under this
11Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
12payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
13Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
14total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
15issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
167.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
17the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
18distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
19Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
20fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
21in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
22applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
23from the sum of the required State contribution for State
24fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
25total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
26issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 358 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
22011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
3under this Section.
4    (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
5pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
6other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
7expenses in connection with the administration and operation
8thereof, are obligations of the State.
9    If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
10which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
11district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
12System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
13upon that service, as determined by the System. Employer
14contributions, based on salary paid to members from federal
15funds, may be forwarded by the distributing agency of the State
16of Illinois to the System prior to allocation, in an amount
17determined in accordance with guidelines established by such
18agency and the System.
19    (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
20defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
21employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
22service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
23by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
24monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
25System.
26    However, with respect to benefits granted under Section

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 359 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

116-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
2of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
3(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
4for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
5shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
6the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
716-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
816-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
9absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
10considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
11is on leave.
12    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
13shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
14follows:
15        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
16    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
17    teacher's salary.
18        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
19    contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
20    salary.
21The school district or other employing unit may pay these
22employer contributions out of any source of funding available
23for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
24System on the schedule established for the payment of member
25contributions.
26    These employer contributions are intended to offset a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 360 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
2retirement benefits resulting from this amendatory Act of 1998.
3    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
4the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
5respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
62002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
7employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
8Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
9paid to teachers for that period.
10    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
11Section 16-152 by this amendatory Act of 1998 is the
12responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's employer,
13unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining or
14otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
15    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
161, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
17pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
18Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
19this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
20the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
21for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
22the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
23the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
24the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
25termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
26after May 1, 1998.

1    (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year
2used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's
3annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the
4previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer
5shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
6required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
7established by the System, the present value of the increase in
8benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
9that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed
10by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
11tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
12System that is available at the time of the computation. If a
13teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to
14determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then
15the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057
16shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her
17salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section,
18change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code
19on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer.
20The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
21information or documentation. The changes made to this
22subsection (f) by this amendatory Act of the 94th General
23Assembly apply without regard to whether the teacher was in
24service on or after its effective date.
25    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
26under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 362 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
2shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
3due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
4within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
5in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
6detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
7that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
8this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
9attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
10pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
11receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
12shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
13the amount due.
14    The employer contributions required under this subsection
15(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
16receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
17within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
18charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
19assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
20the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
21concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
22bill.
23    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
24salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
251, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
26require the System to refund any payments received before July

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 363 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

131, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
2    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
3(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers
4under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
5into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
6    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
7(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
8teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
9retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
10    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
11(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
12overload work, including summer school, when the school
13district has certified to the System, and the System has
14approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
15the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
16standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
17district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
18equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
19computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
20    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
21(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
22a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
23certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
24Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
25or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
26previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 364 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
2year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
3that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
4average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
5requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
6the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
7requiring the same certification.
8    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
9(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
10the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
11which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
12that the payment is included in the computation of final
13average salary.
14    (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
15subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
16described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
17July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
18collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
19renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
20Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
21payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
22shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
23subsection (f) of this Section.
24    (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
25the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
26January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 365 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (1) The number of recalculations required by the
2    changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each
3    employer.
4        (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's
5    contribution to the System was changed due to
6    recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057.
7        (3) The total amount the System received from each
8    employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by
9    Public Act 94-4.
10        (4) The increase in the required State contribution
11    resulting from the changes made to this Section by Public
12    Act 94-1057.
13    (j) For purposes of determining the required State
14contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
15shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
16which shall be calculated as follows:
17    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
18assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
19that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
20assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
21gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
22year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
235-year period following that fiscal year.
24    (k) For purposes of determining the required State
25contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
26value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal

8System by appropriations of the amounts which, together with
9the contributions of participants, net earnings on
10investments, and other income, will meet the costs of
11maintaining and administering this System on a 90% funded basis
12in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
13    (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State
14contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
15actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and
16the prescribed rate of interest, using the formula in
17subsection (c).
18    (c) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum

18distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
19Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
20fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
21in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
22applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
23from the sum of the required State contribution for State
24fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
25total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
26issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of

7which shall be calculated as follows:
8    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
9assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
10that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
11assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
12gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
13year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
145-year period following that fiscal year.
15    (e) For purposes of determining the required State
16contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
17value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
18to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

21that determination and the actuarial assumptions on which it is
22based shall be filed with the Authority, the representatives of
23its participating employees, the Auditor General of the State
24of Illinois, and the Regional Transportation Authority. If the
25funded ratio is projected to decline below 60% in any year

SB3798 Enrolled- 377 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1increased contribution required each year as a level percentage
2of payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
3projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio
4does not decline below 60% and include that determination in
5its report. If the actual funded ratio declines below 60% in
6any year prior to 2040, the Board of Trustees shall also
7determine the increased contribution required each year as a
8level percentage of payroll during the years after the then
9current year using the projected unit credit actuarial cost
10method so the funded ratio is projected to reach at least 60%
11no later than 10 years after the then current year and include
12that determination in its report. Within 60 days after
13receiving the report, the Auditor General shall review the
14determination and the assumptions on which it is based, and if
15he finds that the determination and the assumptions on which it
16is based are unreasonable in the aggregate, he shall issue a
17new determination of the funded ratio, the assumptions on which
18it is based and the increased contribution required each year
19as a level percentage of payroll over the years remaining until
202040 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method so
21the funded ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event
22of an actual decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is
23projected to reach 60% by no later than 10 years after the then
24current year. If the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General
25determine that an increased contribution is required to meet
26the funded ratio required by the subsection, effective January

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 378 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

11 following the determination or 30 days after such
2determination, whichever is later, one-third of the increased
3contribution shall be paid by participating employees and
4two-thirds by the Authority, in addition to the contributions
5required by this subsection (1).
6    (4) For the period beginning 2040, the minimum contribution
7to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall be an amount
8determined by the Board of Trustees of the Retirement Plan to
9be sufficient to bring the total assets of the Retirement Plan
10up to 90% of its total actuarial liabilities by the end of
112059. Participating employees shall be responsible for
12one-third of the required contribution and the Authority shall
13be responsible for two-thirds of the required contribution. In
14making these determinations, the Board of Trustees shall
15calculate the required contribution each year as a level
16percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and including
17fiscal year 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost
18method. A report containing that determination and the
19actuarial assumptions on which it is based shall be filed by
20September 15 of each year with the Authority, the
21representatives of its participating employees, the Auditor
22General of the State of Illinois and the Regional
23Transportation Authority. If the funded ratio is projected to
24fail to reach 90% by December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees
25shall also determine the increased contribution required each
26year as a level percentage of payroll over the years remaining

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 379 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1until December 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit
2actuarial cost method so the funded ratio will meet 90% by
3December 31, 2059 and include that determination in its report.
4Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
5shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
6is based and if he finds that the determination and the
7assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
8aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded
9ratio, the assumptions on which it is based and the increased
10contribution required each year as a level percentage of
11payroll over the years remaining until December 31, 2059 using
12the projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
13ratio reaches no less than 90% by December 31, 2059. If the
14Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
15increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
16required by this subsection, effective January 1 following the
17determination or 30 days after such determination, whichever is
18later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be paid by
19participating employees and two-thirds by the Authority, in
20addition to the contributions required by subsection (e)(1).
21    (5) Beginning in 2060, the minimum contribution for each
22year shall be the amount needed to maintain the total assets of
23the Retirement Plan at 90% of the total actuarial liabilities
24of the Plan, and the contribution shall be funded two-thirds by
25the Authority and one-third by the participating employees in
26accordance with this subsection.

9    Sec. 22-103. Regional Transportation Authority and related
10pension plans.
11    (a) As used in this Section:
12    "Affected pension plan" means a defined-benefit pension
13plan supported in whole or in part by employer contributions
14and maintained by the Regional Transportation Authority, the
15Suburban Bus Division, or the Commuter Rail Division, or any
16combination thereof, under the general authority of the
17Regional Transportation Authority Act, including but not
18limited to any such plan that has been established under or is
19subject to a collective bargaining agreement or is limited to
20employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
21"Affected pension plan" does not include any pension fund or
22retirement system subject to Section 22-101 of this Section.
23    "Authority" means the Regional Transportation Authority
24created under the Regional Transportation Authority Act.
25    "Contributing employer" means an employer that is required

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 386 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1to make contributions to an affected pension plan under the
2terms of that plan.
3    "Funding ratio" means the ratio of an affected pension
4plan's assets to the present value of its actuarial
5liabilities, as determined at its latest actuarial valuation in
6accordance with applicable actuarial assumptions and
7recommendations.
8    "Under-funded pension plan" or "under-funded" means an
9affected pension plan that, at the time of its last actuarial
10valuation, has a funding ratio of less than 90%.
11    (b) The contributing employers of each affected pension
12plan have a general duty to make the required employer
13contributions to the affected pension plan in a timely manner
14in accordance with the terms of the plan. A contributing
15employer must make contributions to the affected pension plan
16as required under this subsection and, if applicable,
17subsection (c); a contributing employer may make any additional
18contributions provided for by the board of the employer or
19collective bargaining agreement.
20    (c) In the case of an affected pension plan that is
21under-funded on January 1, 2009 or becomes under-funded at any
22time after that date, the contributing employers shall
23contribute to the affected pension plan, in addition to all
24amounts otherwise required, amounts sufficient to bring the
25funding ratio of the affected pension plan up to 90% in
26accordance with an amortization schedule adopted jointly by the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 387 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1contributing employers and the trustee of the affected pension
2plan. The amortization schedule may extend for any period up to
3a maximum of 50 years and shall provide for additional employer
4contributions in substantially equal annual amounts over the
5selected period. If the contributing employers and the trustee
6of the affected pension plan do not agree on an appropriate
7period for the amortization schedule within 6 months of the
8date of determination that the plan is under-funded, then the
9amortization schedule shall be based on a period of 50 years.
10    In the case of an affected pension plan that has more than
11one contributing employer, each contributing employer's share
12of the total additional employer contributions required under
13this subsection shall be determined: (i) in proportion to the
14amounts, if any, by which the respective contributing employers
15have failed to meet their contribution obligations under the
16terms of the affected pension plan; or (ii) if all of the
17contributing employers have met their contribution obligations
18under the terms of the affected pension plan, then in the same
19proportion as they are required to contribute under the terms
20of that plan. In the case of an affected pension plan that has
21only one contributing employer, that contributing employer is
22responsible for all of the additional employer contributions
23required under this subsection.
24    If an under-funded pension plan is determined to have
25achieved a funding ratio of at least 90% during the period when
26an amortization schedule is in force under this Section, the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 388 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1contributing employers and the trustee of the affected pension
2plan, acting jointly, may cancel the amortization schedule and
3the contributing employers may cease making additional
4contributions under this subsection for as long as the affected
5pension plan retains a funding ratio of at least 90%.
6    (d) Beginning January 1, 2009, if the Authority fails to
7pay to an affected pension fund within 30 days after it is due
8(i) any employer contribution that it is required to make as a
9contributing employer, (ii) any additional employer
10contribution that it is required to pay under subsection (c),
11or (iii) any payment that it is required to make under Section
124.02a or 4.02b of the Regional Transportation Authority Act,
13the trustee of the affected pension fund shall promptly so
14notify the Commission on Government Forecasting and
15Accountability, the Mayor of Chicago, the Governor, and the
16General Assembly.
17    (e) For purposes of determining employer contributions,
18assets, and actuarial liabilities under this subsection,
19contributions, assets, and liabilities relating to health care
20benefits shall not be included.
21    (f) This amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly does
22not affect or impair the right of any contributing employer or
23its employees to collectively bargain the amount or level of
24employee contributions to an affected pension plan, to the
25extent that the plan includes employees subject to collective

7electors of that county voting on the question as provided in
8subsection (c), then the county board may, by ordinance,
9increase the rate of the tax up to the rate set forth in the

11voting on the question as provided in subsection (c). If a
12county board imposes a tax under this Section pursuant to a
13referendum held before the effective date of this amendatory
14Act of the 97th General Assembly, then the board may, by
15ordinance, discontinue or reduce the rate of the tax. If a tax
16is imposed under this Section pursuant to a referendum held on

21that are secured by the proceeds of the tax under this Section,
22then the county board may not reduce the tax rate or

3    other body conducting the public hearing:
4            (A) the criteria in subsection (d) of this Section;
5            (B) whether a substantial adverse effect on public
6        safety will result from some aspect of the facility's
7        design or proposed construction, but only if that
8        aspect of design or construction is modifiable by the
9        applicant;
10            (C) the benefits to be derived by the users of the
11        services to be provided or enhanced by the facility and
12        whether public safety and emergency response
13        capabilities would benefit by the establishment of the
14        facility;
15            (D) the existing uses on adjacent and nearby
16        properties; and
17            (E) the extent to which the design of the proposed
18        facility reflects compliance with subsection (e) of
19        this Section.
20        (4) On judicial review of an adverse decision, the
21    issue shall be the reasonableness of the county board's
22    decision in light of the evidence presented on the siting
23    considerations and the well-reasoned recommendations of
24    any other body that conducts the public hearing.
25    (h) The following provisions shall apply to all facilities
26established after the effective date of this amendatory Act of

3zoning district subject to the following:
4        (1) A facility shall not be located on a lot under
5    paragraph (4) of subsection (d) unless a variation is
6    granted by the county board under paragraph (4) of this
7    subsection (h).
8        (2) Unless a height variation is granted by the county
9    board, the height of a facility shall not exceed 75 feet if
10    the facility will be located in a residential zoning
11    district or 200 feet if the facility will be located in a
12    non-residential zoning district. However, the height of a
13    facility may exceed the height limit in this paragraph, and
14    no height variation shall be required, if the supporting
15    structure is a qualifying structure.
16        (3) The improvements and equipment of the facility
17    shall be placed to comply with the requirements of this
18    paragraph at the time a building permit application for the
19    facility is submitted. If the supporting structure is an
20    antenna tower other than a qualifying structure then (i) if
21    the facility will be located in a residential zoning
22    district the lot line set back distance to the nearest
23    residentially zoned lot shall be at least 50% of the height
24    of the facility's supporting structure or (ii) if the
25    facility will be located in a non-residential zoning
26    district the horizontal separation distance to the nearest

6    variations held at a zoning or other appropriate committee
7    meeting with proper notice given as provided in this
8    Section, by a favorable vote of a majority of the members
9    present at a meeting held no later than 75 days after
10    submission of an application by the telecommunications
11    carrier. If the county board fails to act on the
12    application within 75 days after submission, the
13    application shall be deemed to have been approved. In its
14    consideration of an application for variations, the county
15    board, and any other body conducting the public hearing,
16    shall consider the following, and no other matters:
17            (A) whether, but for the granting of a variation,
18        the service that the telecommunications carrier seeks
19        to enhance or provide with the proposed facility will
20        be less available, impaired, or diminished in quality,
21        quantity, or scope of coverage;
22            (B) whether the conditions upon which the
23        application for variations is based are unique in some
24        respect or, if not, whether the strict application of
25        the regulations would result in a hardship on the
26        telecommunications carrier;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 419 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            (C) whether a substantial adverse effect on public
2        safety will result from some aspect of the facility's
3        design or proposed construction, but only if that
4        aspect of design or construction is modifiable by the
5        applicant;
6            (D) whether there are benefits to be derived by the
7        users of the services to be provided or enhanced by the
8        facility and whether public safety and emergency
9        response capabilities would benefit by the
10        establishment of the facility; and
11            (E) the extent to which the design of the proposed
12        facility reflects compliance with subsection (e) of

17notice requirement, "owners" means those persons or entities
18identified from the authentic tax records of the county in
19which the telecommunications facility is to be located. If,
20after a bona fide effort by the telecommunications carrier to
21determine the owner and his or her address, the owner of the
22property on whom the notice must be served cannot be found at
23the owner's last known address, or if the mailed notice is
24returned because the owner cannot be found at the last known
25address, the notice requirement of this paragraph is deemed
26satisfied.

4powers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
5Section, the probationary employment period limitation may be
6extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
7employment, to be a certified paramedic, during which time the
8sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a

15    Sec. 11-124-5. Acquisition of water systems by eminent
16domain.
17    (a) In addition to other provisions providing for the
18acquisition of water systems or water works, whenever a public
19utility subject to the Public Utilities Act utilizes public
20property (including, but not limited to, right-of-way) of a
21municipality for the installation or maintenance of all or part
22of its water distribution system, the municipality has the
23right to exercise eminent domain to acquire all or part of the
24water system, in accordance with this Section. Unless it
25complies with the provisions set forth in this Section, a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 438 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1municipality is not permitted to acquire by eminent domain that
2portion of a system located in another incorporated
3municipality without agreement of that municipality, but this
4provision shall not prevent the acquisition of that portion of
5the water system existing within the acquiring municipality.
6    (b) Where a water system that is owned by a public utility
7(as defined in the Public 16 Utilities Act) provides water to
8customers located in 2 or more municipalities, the system may
9be acquired by a majority of the municipalities by eminent
10domain. If the system is to be acquired by more than one
11municipality, then there must be an intergovernmental
12agreement in existence between the acquiring municipalities
13providing for the acquisition.
14    (c) If a water system that is owned by a public utility
15provides water to customers located in one or more
16municipalities and also to customers in an unincorporated area
17and if at least 70% of the customers of the system or portion
18thereof are located within the municipality or municipalities,
19then the system, or portion thereof as determined by the
20corporate authorities, may be acquired, using eminent domain or
21otherwise, by either a municipality under subsection (a) or an
22entity created by agreement between municipalities where at
23least 70% of the customers reside. For the purposes of
24determining "customers of the system", only retail customers
25directly billed by the company shall be included in the
26computation. The number of customers of the system most

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 439 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1recently reported to the Illinois Commerce Commission for any
2calendar year preceding the year a resolution is passed by a
3municipality or municipalities expressing preliminary intent
4to purchase the water system or portion thereof shall be
5presumed to be the total number of customers within the system.
6The public utility shall provide information relative to the
7number of customers within each municipality and within the
8system within 60 days after any such request by a municipality.
9    (d) In the case of acquisition by a municipality or
10municipalities or a public entity created by law to own or
11operate a water system under this Section, service and water
12supply must be provided to persons who are customers of the
13system on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th
14General Assembly without discrimination based on whether the
15customer is located within or outside of the boundaries of the
16acquiring municipality or municipalities or entity, and a
17supply contract existing on the effective date of this
18amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly must be honored by
19an acquiring municipality, municipalities, or entity according
20to the terms so long as the agreement does not conflict with
21any other existing agreement.
22    (e) For the purposes of this Section, "system" includes all
23assets reasonably necessary to provide water service to a
24contiguous or compact geographical service area or to an area
25served by a common pipeline and include, but are not limited
26to, interests in real estate, all wells, pipes, treatment

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 440 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1plants, pumps and other physical apparatus, data and records of
2facilities and customers, fire hydrants, equipment, or
3vehicles and also includes service agreements and obligations
4derived from use of the assets, whether or not the assets are
5contiguous to the municipality, municipalities, or entity
6created for the purpose of owning or operating a water system.
7    (f) Before making a good faith offer, a municipality may
8pass a resolution of intent to study the feasibility of
9purchasing or exercising its power of eminent domain to acquire
10any water system or water works, sewer system or sewer works,
11or combined water and sewer system or works, or part thereof.
12Upon the passage of such a resolution, the municipality shall
13have the right to review and inspect all financial and other
14records, and both corporeal and incorporeal assets of such
15utility related to the condition and the operation of the
16system or works, or part thereof, as part of the study and
17determination of feasibility of the proposed acquisition by
18purchase or exercise of the power of eminent domain, and the
19utility shall make knowledgeable persons who have access to all
20relevant facts and information regarding the subject system or
21works available to answer inquiries related to the study and
22determination.
23    The right to review and inspect shall be upon reasonable
24notice to the utility, with reasonable inspection and review
25time limitations and reasonable response times for production,
26copying, and answer. In addition, the utility may utilize a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 441 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1reasonable security protocol for personnel on the
2municipality's physical inspection team.
3    In the absence of other agreement, the utility must respond
4to any notice by the municipality concerning its review and
5inspection within 21 days after receiving the notice. The
6review and inspection of the assets of the company shall be
7over such period of time and carried out in such manner as is
8reasonable under the circumstances.
9    Information requested that is not privileged or protected
10from discovery under the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure but
11is reasonably claimed to be proprietary, including, without
12limitation, information that constitutes trade secrets or
13information that involves system security concerns, shall be
14provided, but shall not be considered a public record and shall
15be kept confidential by the municipality.
16    In addition, the municipality must, upon request,
17reimburse the utility for the actual, reasonable costs and
18expenses, excluding attorneys' fees, incurred by the utility as
19a result of the municipality's inspection and requests for
20information. Upon written request, the utility shall issue a
21statement itemizing, with reasonable detail, the costs and
22expenses for which reimbursement is sought by the utility.
23Where such written request for a statement has been made, no
24payment shall be required until 30 days after receipt of the
25statement. Such reimbursement by the municipality shall be
26considered income for purposes of any rate proceeding or other

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 442 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1financial request before the Illinois Commerce Commission by
2the utility.
3    The municipality and the utility shall cooperate to resolve
4any dispute arising under this subsection. In the event the
5dispute under this subsection cannot be resolved, either party
6may request relief from the circuit court in any county in
7which the water system is located, with the prevailing party to
8be awarded such relief as the court deems appropriate under the
9discovery abuse sanctions currently set forth in the Illinois
10Code of Civil Procedure.
11    The municipality's right to inspect physical assets and
12records in connection with the purpose of this Section shall
13not be exercised with respect to any system more than one time
14during a 5-year period, unless a substantial change in the size
15of the system or condition of the operating assets of the
16system has occurred since the previous inspection. Rights under
17franchise agreements and other agreements or statutory or
18regulatory provisions are not limited by this Section and are
19preserved.
20    The passage of time between an inspection of the utilities
21and physical assets and the making of a good faith offer or
22initiation of an eminent domain action because of the limit
23placed on inspections by this subsection shall not be used as a
24basis for challenging the good faith of any offer or be used as
25the basis for attacking any appraisal, expert, argument, or
26position before a court related to an acquisition by purchase

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 443 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1or eminent domain.
2    (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
3Illinois Commerce Commission has no approval authority of any
4eminent domain action brought by any governmental entity or
5combination of such entities to acquire water systems or water
6works.
7    (h) The provisions of this Section are severable under

9    (i) This Section does not apply to any public utility
10company that, on January 1, 2006, supplied a total of 70,000 or
11fewer meter connections in the State unless and until (i) that
12public utility company receives approval from the Illinois
13Commerce Commission under Section 7-204 of the Public Utilities
14Act for the reorganization of the public utility company or
15(ii) the majority control of the company changes through a
16stock sale, a sale of assets, a merger (other than an internal
17reorganization) or otherwise. For the purpose of this Section,
18"public utility company" means the public utility providing
19water service and includes any of its corporate parents,
20subsidiaries, or affiliates possessing a franchised water
21service in the State.
22    (j) Any contractor or subcontractor that performs work on a
23water system acquired by a municipality or municipalities under
24this Section shall comply with the requirements of Section
2530-22 of the Illinois Procurement Code. The contractor or

8municipality may make make and enforce all needful rules and
9regulations in the construction and management of such a system
10of waterworks, and for the use of the water supplied thereby.
11    The corporate authorities of each municipality also may
12make and enforce all needful rules, regulations, and enact
13ordinances for the improvement, care, and protection from
14pollution or other injury of any impounding reservoir or
15artificial lake constructed or maintained by the municipality
16for water supply purposes and any adjacent zone of land which
17the municipality may acquire or control. If the leasing of
18portions of such adjacent zone of land will, in the discretion
19of the corporate authorities, aid in the protection from
20pollution or other injury of the impounding reservoir or
21artificial lake by promoting forestation, development or care
22of other suitable vegetation, and the improvement, care and
23maintenance of the premises, the corporate authorities may
24lease those portions of that land jointly or severally to

6    The corporate authorities of each municipality have the
7power to fix and collect from the inhabitants thereof the rent
8or rates for the use and benefit of water used or supplied to
9them by such a system of waterworks, as the corporate
10authorities shall deem just and expedient. These rents or rates
11shall be paid and collected in such manner as the corporate
12authorities by ordinance shall provide. Such charges, rents, or
13rates are liens upon the real estate upon or for which water
14service is supplied whenever the charges, rents, or rates
15become delinquent as provided by the ordinance of the
16municipality fixing a delinquency date. However, the
17municipality has no preference over the rights of any
18purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lien holder
19arising prior to the filing of the notice of such a lien in the
20office of the recorder of the county in which such real estate
21is located, or in the office of the registrar of titles of such
22county if the property affected is registered under "An Act
23concerning land titles", approved May 1, 1897, as amended. This
24notice shall consist of a sworn statement setting out (1) a
25description of such real estate sufficient for the

3same manner and with the same effect as in the foreclosure of
4mortgages on real estate.

152-3.32, all block grants are subject to an audit. Therefore,
16block grant receipts and block grant expenditures shall be
17recorded to the appropriate fund code for the designated block
18grant.

18under a program that is included within the educational
19services block grant. It is the intention of the General
20Assembly in enacting the provisions of this subsection (c) to
21relieve the district of the administrative burdens that impede
22efficiency and accompany single-program funding. The General
23Assembly encourages the board to pursue mandate waivers

11    (d) For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year thereafter,
12the amount of the district's block grants shall be determined
13as follows: (i) with respect to each program that is included
14within each block grant, the district shall receive an amount
15equal to the same percentage of the current fiscal year
16appropriation made for that program as the percentage of the
17appropriation received by the district from the 1995 fiscal
18year appropriation made for that program, and (ii) the total
19amount that is due the district under the block grant shall be
20the aggregate of the amounts that the district is entitled to
21receive for the fiscal year with respect to each program that
22is included within the block grant that the State Board of
23Education shall award the district under this Section for that
24fiscal year. In the case of the Summer Bridges program, the
25amount of the district's block grant shall be equal to 44% of
26the amount of the current fiscal year appropriation made for

1that program.
2    (e) The district is not required to file any application or
3other claim in order to receive the block grants to which it is
4entitled under this Section. The State Board of Education shall
5make payments to the district of amounts due under the
6district's block grants on a schedule determined by the State
7Board of Education.
8    (f) A school district to which this Section applies shall
9report to the State Board of Education on its use of the block
10grants in such form and detail as the State Board of Education
11may specify. In addition, the report must include the following
12description for the district, which must also be reported to
13the General Assembly: block grant allocation and expenditures
14by program; population and service levels by program; and
15administrative expenditures by program. The State Board of
16Education shall ensure that the reporting requirements for the
17district are the same as for all other school districts in this
18State.
19    (g) This paragraph provides for the treatment of block
20grants under Article 1C for purposes of calculating the amount
21of block grants for a district under this Section. Those block
22grants under Article 1C are, for this purpose, treated as
23included in the amount of appropriation for the various
24programs set forth in paragraph (b) above. The appropriation in
25each current fiscal year for each block grant under Article 1C
26shall be treated for these purposes as appropriations for the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 473 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1individual program included in that block grant. The proportion
2of each block grant so allocated to each such program included
3in it shall be the proportion which the appropriation for that
4program was of all appropriations for such purposes now in that
5block grant, in fiscal 1995.
6    Payments to the school district under this Section with
7respect to each program for which payments to school districts
8generally, as of the date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd
9General Assembly, are on a reimbursement basis shall continue
10to be made to the district on a reimbursement basis, pursuant
11to the provisions of this Code governing those programs.
12    (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school
13district receiving a block grant under this Section may
14classify all or a portion of the funds that it receives in a
15particular fiscal year from any block grant authorized under
16this Code or from general State aid pursuant to Section 18-8.05
17of this Code (other than supplemental general State aid) as
18funds received in connection with any funding program for which
19it is entitled to receive funds from the State in that fiscal
20year (including, without limitation, any funding program
21referred to in subsection (c) of this Section), regardless of
22the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not
23classify more funds as funds received in connection with the
24funding program than the district is entitled to receive in
25that fiscal year for that program. Any classification by a
26district must be made by a resolution of its board of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 474 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1education. The resolution must identify the amount of any block
2grant or general State aid to be classified under this
3subsection (h) and must specify the funding program to which
4the funds are to be treated as received in connection
5therewith. This resolution is controlling as to the
6classification of funds referenced therein. A certified copy of
7the resolution must be sent to the State Superintendent of
8Education. The resolution shall still take effect even though a
9copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State
10Superintendent of Education in a timely manner. No
11classification under this subsection (h) by a district shall
12affect the total amount or timing of money the district is
13entitled to receive under this Code. No classification under
14this subsection (h) by a district shall in any way relieve the
15district from or affect any requirements that otherwise would
16apply with respect to the block grant as provided in this
17Section, including any accounting of funds by source, reporting
18expenditures by original source and purpose, reporting
19requirements, or requirements of provision of services.

19report on selected indicators of learning conditions resulting
20from administration of the instrument at the individual school,
21district, and State levels and shall identify whether the
22indicators result from an anonymous administration of the
23instrument. If in any year the appropriation to the State Board
24of Education is insufficient for the State's costs associated
25with statewide administration of the instrument, the State
26Board of Education shall give priority to districts with

12    Sec. 10-20.54 10-20.53. Student athletes; concussions and
13head injuries.
14    (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
15        (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
16    injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
17    sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
18    Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
19    3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
20    concussions occur in the United States each year. A
21    concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
22    body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
23    skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death are
24    significant when a concussion or head injury is not

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 480 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    properly evaluated and managed.
2        (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
3    range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
4    normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
5    unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
6    from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
7    ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
8    without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
9    concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
10        (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of
11    a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
12    to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
13    recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
14    return-to-play standards for concussions and head
15    injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
16    returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
17    injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
18    (b) Each school board shall adopt a policy regarding
19student athlete concussions and head injuries that is in
20compliance with the protocols, policies, and by-laws of the
21Illinois High School Association. Information on the school
22board's concussion and head injury policy must be a part of any
23agreement, contract, code, or other written instrument that a
24school district requires a student athlete and his or her
25parents or guardian to sign before participating in practice or
26interscholastic competition.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 481 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (c) The Illinois High School Association shall make
2available to all school districts, including elementary school
3districts, education materials, such as visual presentations
4and other written materials, that describe the nature and risk
5of concussions and head injuries. Each school district shall
6use education materials provided by the Illinois High School
7Association to educate coaches, student athletes, and parents
8and guardians of student athletes about the nature and risk of
9concussions and head injuries, including continuing play after
10a concussion or head injury.

15financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common
16schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years.
 
17(A) General Provisions.
18    (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999
19and subsequent school years. The system of general State
20financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to
21assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
22required local resources, the financial support provided each
23pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
24prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 497 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and
2provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
3general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
4Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount
5of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts,
6in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local
7Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school
8district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in
9this Section.
10    (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school
11districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils
12from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental
13general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to
14subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for
15school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for
16distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
17in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
18appropriated under this Section.
19    (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section,
20school districts are required to file claims with the State
21Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
22        (a) Any school district which fails for any given
23    school year to maintain school as required by law, or to
24    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for
25    such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In
26    case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 498 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    a school district otherwise operating recognized schools,
2    the claim of the district shall be reduced in the
3    proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the
4    attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
5    Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school"
6    means any public school which meets the standards as
7    established for recognition by the State Board of
8    Education. A school district or attendance center not
9    having recognition status at the end of a school term is
10    entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
11    claim which was filed while it was recognized.
12        (b) School district claims filed under this Section are
13    subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise
14    provided in this Section.
15        (c) If a school district operates a full year school
16    under Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school
17    district shall be determined by the State Board of
18    Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be
19    applicable.
20        (d) (Blank).
21    (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the
22board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for
23in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
24for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law.
25    School districts are not required to exert a minimum
26Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 499 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1this Section.
2    (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when
3capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
4        (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil
5    attendance in school, averaged as provided for in
6    subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial
7    support levels.
8        (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of
9    local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average
10    Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to
11    subsection (D).
12        (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes":
13    Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in
14    relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property
15    tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and
16    amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in
17    connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as
18    amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
19        (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil
20    financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
21        (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property
22    taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest,
23    Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational
24    Education Building purposes.
 
25(B) Foundation Level.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 500 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the
2State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
3support that should be available to provide for the basic
4education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
5forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
6a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
7the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
8district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
9available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
10district.
11    (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of
12support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the
13Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school
14year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. For the
152001-2002 school year and 2002-2003 school year, the Foundation
16Level of support is $4,560. For the 2003-2004 school year, the
17Foundation Level of support is $4,810. For the 2004-2005 school
18year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,964. For the
192005-2006 school year, the Foundation Level of support is
20$5,164. For the 2006-2007 school year, the Foundation Level of
21support is $5,334. For the 2007-2008 school year, the
22Foundation Level of support is $5,734. For the 2008-2009 school
23year, the Foundation Level of support is $5,959.
24    (3) For the 2009-2010 school year and each school year
25thereafter, the Foundation Level of support is $6,119 or such
26greater amount as may be established by law by the General

1Assembly.
 
2(C) Average Daily Attendance.
3    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
4to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be
5utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula
6calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual
7number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as
8further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for
9each school district. In compiling the figures for the number
10of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board
11of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding,
12conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
13(F).
14    (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
15subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
16school year immediately preceding the school year for which
17general State aid is being calculated or the average of the
18attendance data for the 3 preceding school years, whichever is
19greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
20subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
21school year immediately preceding the school year for which
22general State aid is being calculated.
 
23(D) Available Local Resources.
24    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 502 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local
2Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in
3this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources
4per pupil shall include a calculated dollar amount representing
5local school district revenues from local property taxes and
6from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed
7on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. Calculation
8of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty
9funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
10    (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local
11property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the
12equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each
13school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The
14equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and
15determined as provided in subsection (G).
16    (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
17through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
18calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
19valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by
20the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school
21districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local
22property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the
23product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the
24district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's
25Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
26maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 503 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation
2of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the
3district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
4    For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to
5Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil
6shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed
7valuation for property within the partial elementary unit
8district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of
9this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's
10Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the
11equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial
12elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined
13in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by
14the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
15    (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid
16to each school district during the calendar year one year
17before the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided
18by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall
19be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as
20derived by the application of the immediately preceding
21paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil figures for each
22school district shall constitute Available Local Resources as
23that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of
24general State aid.
 
25(E) Computation of General State Aid.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 504 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid
2allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State
3Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
4    (2) For any school district for which Available Local
5Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the
6Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be
7calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus
8Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
9Attendance of the school district.
10    (3) For any school district for which Available Local
11Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of
120.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of
131.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
14pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level
15derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm,
16the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in
17direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for
18a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
19product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
20Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local
21Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
22Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts
23subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general
24State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily
25Attendance of the school district.
26    (4) For any school district for which Available Local

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 505 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times
2the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school
3district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied
4by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
5    (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
6district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements
7set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased
8by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have
9been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
10utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
11Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less
12the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year.
13This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
14affect any future general State aid allocations.
 
15(F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
16    (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year,
17submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by
18the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school
19year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance
20information so transmitted shall identify the average daily
21attendance figures for each month of the school year. Beginning
22with the general State aid claim form for the 2002-2003 school
23year, districts shall calculate Average Daily Attendance as
24provided in subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph
25(1).

15    subdivision (b) of this paragraph (1). To calculate the
16    Average Daily Attendance for the district, the average
17    daily attendance for the year-round buildings shall be
18    multiplied by the days in session for the non-year-round
19    buildings for each month and added to the monthly
20    attendance of the non-year-round buildings.
21    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
22attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not

13    attendance required under Section 10-19 of this Code,
14    provided that a sufficient number of minutes of school work
15    in excess of 5 clock hours are first completed on other
16    school days to compensate for the loss of school work on
17    the examination days.
18        (j) Pupils enrolled in a remote educational program
19    established under Section 10-29 of this Code may be counted

22    program, provided that, in any month, the school district
23    may not claim for a student enrolled in a remote
24    educational program more days of attendance than the
25    maximum number of days of attendance the district can claim
26    (i) for students enrolled in a building holding year-round

7(G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
8    (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local
9Resources required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board
10of Education shall secure from the Department of Revenue the
11value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of
12all taxable property of every school district, together with
13(i) the applicable tax rate used in extending taxes for the
14funds of the district as of September 30 of the previous year
15and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to
16property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
17Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
18    The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized
19assessed value of all taxable property of each school district
20situated entirely or partially within a county that is or was
21subject to the provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
22Property Tax Code (a) an amount equal to the total amount by
23which the homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or
2415-177 of the Property Tax Code for real property situated in
25that school district exceeds the total amount that would have

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 513 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1been allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction
2under Section 15-176 was (i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in
3all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all
4counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount
5equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all
6additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
7Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The
8county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
9provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
10shall annually calculate and certify to the Department of
11Revenue for each school district all homestead exemption
12amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
13and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175
14of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of
15$30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the
16general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is
17determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax
18Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
19Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
20difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead
21exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section
2215-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that
23would have been allowed had the general homestead exemption for
24that parcel of property been determined under Section 15-175 of
25the Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
26paragraph that if additional exemptions are allowed under

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 514 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a
2household income of less than $30,000, then the calculation of
3Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
4difference, if any, because of those additional exemptions.
5    This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by
6the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the
7calculation of Available Local Resources.
8    (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall
9be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
10        (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under
11    this Section, with respect to any part of a school district
12    within a redevelopment project area in respect to which a
13    municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
14    financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
15    Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11
16    of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs
17    Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the
18    Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized
19    assessed valuation of real property located in any such
20    project area which is attributable to an increase above the
21    total initial equalized assessed valuation of such
22    property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed
23    valuation of the district, until such time as all
24    redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
25    Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation
26    Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 515 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
2    equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
3    initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
4    equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
5    used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
6    have been paid.
7        (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
8    a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
9    real property value as equalized or assessed by the
10    Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
11    by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
12    Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
13    district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
14    2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
15    through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9
16    through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
17    the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
18    of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
19    percentage rates for district type as specified in this
20    subparagraph (b).
21    (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year
22thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
23this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
24Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the
25district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation
26as calculated under this subsection (G)(3).

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 516 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms

5        "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to
6    calculate the Budget Year allocation of general State aid.
7        "Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year
8    immediately preceding the Base Tax Year.
9        "Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the
10    equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk
11    in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the limiting rate as
12    calculated by the County Clerk and defined in the Property
13    Tax Extension Limitation Law.
14        "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of
15    the equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County
16    Clerk in the Preceding Tax Year multiplied by the Operating
17    Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A).
18        "Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio,
19    certified by the County Clerk, in which the numerator is
20    the Base Tax Year's Tax Extension and the denominator is
21    the Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension.
22        "Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined
23    in subsection (A).
24    If a school district is subject to property tax extension
25limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension

SB3798 Enrolled- 517 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that
2district. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Extension
3Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
4calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to
5the product of the district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation
6and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. Except as
7otherwise provided in this paragraph for a school district that
8has approved or does approve an increase in its limiting rate,
9for the 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter,
10the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a
11school district as calculated by the State Board of Education
12shall be equal to the product of the Equalized Assessed
13Valuation last used in the calculation of general State aid and
14the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
15Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
16calculated under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the
17district's equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant
18to subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of
19calculating the district's general State aid for the Budget
20Year pursuant to subsection (E), that Extension Limitation
21Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the
22district's Available Local Resources under subsection (D). For
23the 2009-2010 school year and each school year thereafter, if a
24school district has approved or does approve an increase in its
25limiting rate, pursuant to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax

7United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
8year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the Equalized Assessed
9Valuation of new property, annexed property, and recovered tax
10increment value and minus the Equalized Assessed Valuation of
11disconnected property. New property and recovered tax
12increment value shall have the meanings set forth in the
13Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
14    Partial elementary unit districts created in accordance
15with Article 11E of this Code shall not be eligible for the
16adjustment in this subsection (G)(3) until the fifth year
17following the effective date of the reorganization.
18    (3.5) For the 2010-2011 school year and each school year
19thereafter, if a school district's boundaries span multiple
20counties, then the Department of Revenue shall send to the
21State Board of Education, for the purpose of calculating
22general State aid, the limiting rate and individual rates by
23purpose for the county that contains the majority of the school
24district's Equalized Assessed Valuation.
25    (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for
26the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 519 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed
2valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid
3apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
4Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized
5Assessed Valuation that would have been used to calculate the
6district's 1998-1999 general State aid. This amount shall equal
7the product of the equalized assessed valuation used to
8calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and
9the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
10Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district
11as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the
12district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in
13calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid
14allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's
15general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of subsection (E),
16that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall
17be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local
18Resources.
19    (5) For school districts having a majority of their
20equalized assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage,
21Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State
22aid allocated to the school district for the 1999-2000 school
23year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of
24this Section is less than the amount of general State aid
25allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school year under
26these subsections, then the general State aid of the district

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 520 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the
2difference between these amounts. The total payments made under
3this paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall
4be prorated if they exceed $14,000,000.
 
5(H) Supplemental General State Aid.
6    (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district
7is allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school
8districts shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a
9district's payments of general State aid, for supplemental
10general State aid based upon the concentration level of
11children from low-income households within the school
12district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school
13districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for
14distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
15in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
16appropriated under this Section.
17    (1.5) This paragraph (1.5) applies only to those school
18years preceding the 2003-2004 school year. For purposes of this

23percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal censuses in
24the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district
25with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the

1percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil count
2of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
3are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
4school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
5school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
6high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most
7recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count
8and there is a percentage increase in the total low-income
9eligible pupil count of a majority of the elementary school
10districts in excess of 50% from the 2 most recent federal
11censuses, then the high school district's low-income eligible
12pupil count from the earlier federal census shall be the number
13used as the low-income eligible pupil count for the high school
14district, for purposes of this subsection (H). The changes made
15to this paragraph (1) by Public Act 92-28 shall apply to
16supplemental general State aid grants for school years
17preceding the 2003-2004 school year that are paid in fiscal
18year 1999 or thereafter and to any State aid payments made in
19fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 pursuant to
20subsection 1(n) of Section 18-8 of this Code (which was

3shall, for each fiscal year, be the low-income eligible pupil
4count as of July 1 of the immediately preceding fiscal year (as
5determined by the Department of Human Services based on the
6number of pupils who are eligible for at least one of the
7following low income programs: Medicaid, the Children's Health

10Children and Family Services, averaged over the 2 immediately
11preceding fiscal years for fiscal year 2004 and over the 3
12immediately preceding fiscal years for each fiscal year
13thereafter) divided by the Average Daily Attendance of the
14school district.
15    (2) Supplemental general State aid pursuant to this
16subsection (H) shall be provided as follows for the 1998-1999,
171999-2000, and 2000-2001 school years only:

8is investigating the same or substantially similar allegations
9and its child protective service unit has not made its
10determination, as required under Section 7.12 of the Abused and

11Act are satisfied.
12    The exclusive authority of the State Superintendent of
13Education to initiate suspension or revocation of a license
14pursuant to this Section does not preclude a regional
15superintendent of schools from cooperating with the State
16Superintendent or a State's Attorney with respect to an
17investigation of alleged misconduct.
18    (d) The State Superintendent of Education or his or her
19designee may initiate and conduct such investigations as may be
20reasonably necessary to establish the existence of any alleged
21misconduct. At any stage of the investigation, the State

6Section. Such recorded testimony must not be used as evidence
7at a hearing, unless the license holder has adequate notice of
8the testimony and the opportunity to cross-examine the witness.
9Failure of a license holder to comply with a duly issued,
10investigatory subpoena may be grounds for revocation,
11suspension, or denial of a license.
12    (e) All correspondence, documentation, and other
13information so received by the regional superintendent of
14schools, the State Superintendent of Education, the State Board
15of Education, or the State Educator Preparation and Licensure

19investigate and prosecute pursuant to this Article, (ii)
20pursuant to a court order, (iii) for disclosure to the license
21holder or his or her representative, or (iv) as otherwise
22required in this Article and provided that any such information
23admitted into evidence in a hearing is exempt from this
24confidentiality and non-disclosure requirement.
25    (f) The State Superintendent of Education or a person
26designated by him or her shall have the power to administer

15    (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
16        (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
17    injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
18    sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
19    Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
20    3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
21    concussions occur in the United States each year. A
22    concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
23    body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
24    skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death are

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 612 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    significant when a concussion or head injury is not
2    properly evaluated and managed.
3        (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
4    range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
5    normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
6    unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
7    from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
8    ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
9    without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
10    concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
11        (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of
12    a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
13    to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
14    recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
15    return-to-play standards for concussions and head
16    injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
17    returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
18    injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
19    (b) The board shall adopt a policy regarding student
20athlete concussions and head injuries that is in compliance
21with the protocols, policies, and by-laws of the Illinois High
22School Association. Information on the board's concussion and
23head injury policy must be a part of any agreement, contract,
24code, or other written instrument that the school district

11    Sec. 3-304.2. Designation of distressed facilities.
12    (a) By May 1, 2011, and quarterly thereafter, the
13Department shall generate and publish quarterly a list of
14distressed facilities. Criteria for inclusion of certified
15facilities on the list shall be those used by the U.S. General
16Accounting Office in report 9-689, until such time as the
17Department by rule modifies the criteria.
18    (b) In deciding whether and how to modify the criteria used
19by the General Accounting Office, the Department shall complete
20a test run of any substitute criteria to determine their
21reliability by comparing the number of facilities identified as
22distressed against the number of distressed facilities
23generated using the criteria contained in the General
24Accounting Office report. The Department may not adopt
25substitute criteria that generate fewer facilities with a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 690 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1distressed designation than are produced by the General
2Accounting Office criteria during the test run.
3    (c) The Department shall, by rule, adopt criteria to
4identify non-Medicaid-certified facilities that are distressed
5and shall publish this list quarterly beginning October 1,
62011.
7    (d) The Department shall notify each facility of its
8distressed designation, and of the calculation on which it is
9based.
10    (e) A distressed facility may contract with an independent
11consultant meeting criteria established by the Department. If
12the distressed facility does not seek the assistance of an
13independent consultant, the Department shall place a monitor or
14a temporary manager in the facility, depending on the
15Department's assessment of the condition of the facility.
16    (f) Independent consultant. A facility that has been
17designated a distressed facility may contract with an
18independent consultant to develop and assist in the
19implementation of a plan of improvement to bring and keep the
20facility in compliance with this Act and, if applicable, with
21federal certification requirements. A facility that contracts
22with an independent consultant shall have 90 days to develop a
23plan of improvement and demonstrate a good faith effort at
24implementation, and another 90 days to achieve compliance and
25take whatever additional actions are called for in the
26improvement plan to maintain compliance. A facility that the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 691 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Department determines has a plan of improvement likely to bring
2and keep the facility in compliance and that has demonstrated
3good faith efforts at implementation within the first 90 days
4may be eligible to receive a grant under the Equity in
5Long-term Care Quality Act to assist it in achieving and
6maintaining compliance. In this subsection, "independent"
7consultant means an individual who has no professional or
8financial relationship with the facility, any person with a
9reportable ownership interest in the facility, or any related
10parties. In this subsection, "related parties" has the meaning
11attributed to it in the instructions for completing Medicaid
12cost reports.
13    (f-5) (f) Monitor and temporary managers. A distressed
14facility that does not contract with a consultant shall be
15assigned a monitor or a temporary manager at the Department's
16discretion. The cost of the temporary manager shall be paid by
17the facility. The temporary manager shall have the authority
18determined by the Department, which may grant the temporary
19manager any or all of the authority a court may grant a
20receiver. The temporary manager may apply to the Equity in
21Long-term Care Quality Fund for grant funds to implement the
22plan of improvement.
23    (g) The Department shall by rule establish a mentor program
24for owners of distressed facilities.
25    (h) The Department shall by rule establish sanctions (in
26addition to those authorized elsewhere in this Article) against

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 692 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1distressed facilities that are not in compliance with this Act
2and (if applicable) with federal certification requirements.
3Criteria for imposing sanctions shall take into account a
4facility's actions to address the violations and deficiencies
5that caused its designation as a distressed facility, and its
6compliance with this Act and with federal certification
7requirements (if applicable), subsequent to its designation as
8a distressed facility, including mandatory revocations if
9criteria can be agreed upon by the Department, resident
10advocates, and representatives of the nursing home profession.
11By February 1, 2011, the Department shall report to the General
12Assembly on the results of negotiations about creating criteria
13for mandatory license revocations of distressed facilities and
14make recommendations about any statutory changes it believes
15are appropriate to protect the health, safety, and welfare of
16nursing home residents.
17    (i) The Department may establish by rule criteria for
18restricting the owner of a facility on the distressed list from
19acquiring additional skilled nursing facilities.

5under Section 3-713. A facility choosing to waive the right to
6a hearing under Section 3-309 shall submit a payment totaling
765% of the original fine amount along with the written waiver.
8A penalty assessed under this Act shall be collected by the
9Department and shall be deposited with the State Treasurer into
10the Long Term Care Monitor/Receiver Fund. If the person or
11facility against whom a penalty has been assessed does not
12comply with a written demand for payment within 30 days, the
13Director shall issue an order to do any of the following:
14        (1) Direct the State Treasurer or Comptroller to deduct
15    the amount of the fine from amounts otherwise due from the
16    State for the penalty, including any payments to be made
17    from the Developmentally Disabled Care Provider Fund
18    established under Section 5C-7 of the Illinois Public Aid
19    Code, and remit that amount to the Department;
20        (2) Add the amount of the penalty to the facility's
21    licensing fee; if the licensee refuses to make the payment
22    at the time of application for renewal of its license, the

2    Sec. 356z.21 356z.19. Tobacco use cessation programs;
3coverage offer.
4    (a) Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable
5disease and death in Illinois, costing $4.1 billion annually in
6direct health care costs and an additional $4.35 billion in
7lost productivity. In Illinois, the smoking rates are highest
8among African Americans (25.8%). Smoking rates among lesbian,
9gay, and bisexual adults range from 25% to 44%. The U.S. Public
10Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline 2008 Update found
11that tobacco dependence treatments are both clinically
12effective and highly cost effective. A study in the Journal of
13Preventive Medicine concluded that comprehensive smoking
14cessation treatment is one of the 3 most important and cost
15effective preventive services that can be provided in medical
16practice. Greater efforts are needed to achieve more of this
17potential value by increasing current low levels of
18performance.
19    (b) In this Section, "tobacco use cessation program" means
20a program recommended by a physician that follows
21evidence-based treatment, such as is outlined in the United
22States Public Health Service guidelines for tobacco use
23cessation. "Tobacco use cessation program" includes education
24and medical treatment components designed to assist a person in
25ceasing the use of tobacco products. "Tobacco use cessation
26program" includes education and counseling by physicians or

1associated medical personnel and all FDA approved medications
2for the treatment of tobacco dependence irrespective of whether
3they are available only over the counter, only by prescription,
4or both over the counter and by prescription.
5    (c) On or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
6of the 97th General Assembly, every insurer that amends,
7delivers, issues, or renews group accident and health policies
8providing coverage for hospital or medical treatment or
9services on an expense-incurred basis shall offer, for an
10additional premium and subject to the insurer's standard of
11insurability, optional coverage or optional reimbursement of
12up to $500 annually for a tobacco use cessation program for a
13person enrolled in the plan who is 18 years of age or older.
14    (d) The coverage required by this Section shall be subject
15to other general exclusions and limitations of the policy,
16including coordination of benefits, participating provider
17requirements, restrictions on services provided by family or
18household members, utilization review of health care services,
19including review of medical necessity, case management,
20experimental and investigational treatments, and other managed
21care provisions.
22    (e) For the coverage provided under this Section, an
23insurer may not penalize or reduce or limit the reimbursement
24of an attending provider or provide incentives, monetary or
25otherwise, to an attending provider to induce the provider to
26provide care to an insured in a manner inconsistent with the

4    involved in the coordination of care.
5    (c) No group policy of accident and health insurance shall

16of any authorization requirement, utilization review, or
17medical management practices. The insured or enrollee shall
18incur no greater out-of-pocket liability than had the insured
19or enrollee not enrolled in a qualified clinical cancer trial.
20    (e) If the group policy of accident and health insurance
21uses a preferred provider program and a preferred provider
22provides routine patient care in connection with a qualified
23clinical cancer trial, then the insurer may require the insured
24to use the preferred provider if the preferred provider agrees
25to provide to the insured that routine patient care.

16including the type and frequency of any diagnostic modality,
17that a provider typically provides to a cancer patient who is
18not enrolled in a qualified clinical cancer trial. "Routine
19patient care" does not include, and a group policy of accident
20and health insurance may exclude, coverage for:
21        (1) a health care service, item, or drug that is the
22    subject of the cancer clinical trial;
23        (2) a health care service, item, or drug provided
24    solely to satisfy data collection and analysis needs for
25    the qualified clinical cancer trial that is not used in the

4        (4) transportation, lodging, food, or other expenses
5    for the patient or a family member or companion of the

2    immediately preceding the effective date of coverage.
3        (2) (Blank).
4        (3) Waiver: The preexisting condition exclusions as
5    set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be
6    waived to the extent to which the eligible person (a) has

10    (b) has applied for Plan coverage within 90 days following
11    the involuntary termination of that individual health
12    insurance coverage.
13        (4) Waiver: The preexisting condition exclusions as
14    set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be
15    waived to the extent to which the eligible person (a) has
16    satisfied the exclusion under prior Comprehensive Health
17    Insurance Plan coverage that was involuntarily terminated
18    because of meeting a lower lifetime benefit limit and (b)
19    has reapplied for Plan coverage within 90 days following an
20    increase in the lifetime benefit limit set forth in Section
21    8 of this Act.
22    g. Other sources primary; nonduplication of benefits.
23        (1) The Plan shall be the last payor of benefits

SB3798 Enrolled- 781 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

3    insurance coverage or group health plan, whether by
4    insurance, reimbursement, or otherwise, or through any

6    regardless of the date of the settlement, judgment, or
7    award, whether the settlement, judgment, or award is in the
8    form of a contract, agreement, or trust on behalf of a
9    minor or otherwise and whether the settlement, judgment, or
10    award is payable to the covered person, his or her
11    dependent, estate, personal representative, or guardian in
12    a lump sum or over time, and by all hospital or medical
13    expense benefits paid or payable under any worker's
14    compensation coverage, automobile medical payment, or

16    or nonfault, and by any hospital or medical benefits paid
17    or payable under or provided pursuant to any State or
18    federal law or program.
19        (2) The Plan shall have a cause of action against any
20    covered person or any other person or entity for the
21    recovery of any amount paid to the extent the amount was
22    for treatment, services, or supplies not covered in this
23    Section or in excess of benefits as set forth in this
24    Section.
25        (3) Whenever benefits are due from the Plan because of
26    sickness or an injury to a covered person resulting from a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 782 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    third party's wrongful act or negligence and the covered
2    person has recovered or may recover damages from a third
3    party or its insurer, the Plan shall have the right to
4    reduce benefits or to refuse to pay benefits that otherwise
5    may be payable by the amount of damages that the covered
6    person has recovered or may recover regardless of the date
7    of the sickness or injury or the date of any settlement,
8    judgment, or award resulting from that sickness or injury.
9        During the pendency of any action or claim that is
10    brought by or on behalf of a covered person against a third
11    party or its insurer, any benefits that would otherwise be
12    payable except for the provisions of this paragraph (3)
13    shall be paid if payment by or for the third party has not
14    yet been made and the covered person or, if incapable, that
15    person's legal representative agrees in writing to pay back
16    promptly the benefits paid as a result of the sickness or
17    injury to the extent of any future payments made by or for
18    the third party for the sickness or injury. This agreement
19    is to apply whether or not liability for the payments is
20    established or admitted by the third party or whether those
21    payments are itemized.
22        Any amounts due the plan to repay benefits may be
23    deducted from other benefits payable by the Plan after
24    payments by or for the third party are made.
25        (4) Benefits due from the Plan may be reduced or
26    refused as an offset against any amount otherwise

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 783 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    recoverable under this Section.
2    h. Right of subrogation; recoveries.
3        (1) Whenever the Plan has paid benefits because of
4    sickness or an injury to any covered person resulting from
5    a third party's wrongful act or negligence, or for which an
6    insurer is liable in accordance with the provisions of any
7    policy of insurance, and the covered person has recovered
8    or may recover damages from a third party that is liable
9    for the damages, the Plan shall have the right to recover
10    the benefits it paid from any amounts that the covered
11    person has received or may receive regardless of the date
12    of the sickness or injury or the date of any settlement,
13    judgment, or award resulting from that sickness or injury.
14    The Plan shall be subrogated to any right of recovery the
15    covered person may have under the terms of any private or
16    public health care coverage or liability coverage,
17    including coverage under the Workers' Compensation Act or
18    the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, without the
19    necessity of assignment of claim or other authorization to
20    secure the right of recovery. To enforce its subrogation
21    right, the Plan may (i) intervene or join in an action or
22    proceeding brought by the covered person or his personal
23    representative, including his guardian, conservator,
24    estate, dependents, or survivors, against any third party
25    or the third party's insurer that may be liable or (ii)
26    institute and prosecute legal proceedings against any

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 784 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    third party or the third party's insurer that may be liable
2    for the sickness or injury in an appropriate court either
3    in the name of the Plan or in the name of the covered
4    person or his personal representative, including his
5    guardian, conservator, estate, dependents, or survivors.
6        (2) If any action or claim is brought by or on behalf
7    of a covered person against a third party or the third
8    party's insurer, the covered person or his personal
9    representative, including his guardian, conservator,
10    estate, dependents, or survivors, shall notify the Plan by
11    personal service or registered mail of the action or claim
12    and of the name of the court in which the action or claim
13    is brought, filing proof thereof in the action or claim.
14    The Plan may, at any time thereafter, join in the action or
15    claim upon its motion so that all orders of court after
16    hearing and judgment shall be made for its protection. No
17    release or settlement of a claim for damages and no
18    satisfaction of judgment in the action shall be valid
19    without the written consent of the Plan to the extent of
20    its interest in the settlement or judgment and of the
21    covered person or his personal representative.
22        (3) In the event that the covered person or his
23    personal representative fails to institute a proceeding
24    against any appropriate third party before the fifth month
25    before the action would be barred, the Plan may, in its own
26    name or in the name of the covered person or personal

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 785 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    representative, commence a proceeding against any
2    appropriate third party for the recovery of damages on
3    account of any sickness, injury, or death to the covered
4    person. The covered person shall cooperate in doing what is
5    reasonably necessary to assist the Plan in any recovery and
6    shall not take any action that would prejudice the Plan's
7    right to recovery. The Plan shall pay to the covered person
8    or his personal representative all sums collected from any
9    third party by judgment or otherwise in excess of amounts
10    paid in benefits under the Plan and amounts paid or to be
11    paid as costs, attorneys fees, and reasonable expenses
12    incurred by the Plan in making the collection or enforcing
13    the judgment.
14        (4) In the event that a covered person or his personal
15    representative, including his guardian, conservator,
16    estate, dependents, or survivors, recovers damages from a
17    third party for sickness or injury caused to the covered
18    person, the covered person or the personal representative
19    shall pay to the Plan from the damages recovered the amount
20    of benefits paid or to be paid on behalf of the covered
21    person.
22        (5) When the action or claim is brought by the covered
23    person alone and the covered person incurs a personal
24    liability to pay attorney's fees and costs of litigation,
25    the Plan's claim for reimbursement of the benefits provided
26    to the covered person shall be the full amount of benefits

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 786 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    paid to or on behalf of the covered person under this Act
2    less a pro rata share that represents the Plan's reasonable
3    share of attorney's fees paid by the covered person and
4    that portion of the cost of litigation expenses determined
5    by multiplying by the ratio of the full amount of the
6    expenditures to the full amount of the judgement, award, or
7    settlement.
8        (6) In the event of judgment or award in a suit or
9    claim against a third party or insurer, the court shall
10    first order paid from any judgement or award the reasonable
11    litigation expenses incurred in preparation and
12    prosecution of the action or claim, together with
13    reasonable attorney's fees. After payment of those
14    expenses and attorney's fees, the court shall apply out of
15    the balance of the judgment or award an amount sufficient
16    to reimburse the Plan the full amount of benefits paid on
17    behalf of the covered person under this Act, provided the
18    court may reduce and apportion the Plan's portion of the
19    judgement proportionate to the recovery of the covered
20    person. The burden of producing evidence sufficient to
21    support the exercise by the court of its discretion to
22    reduce the amount of a proven charge sought to be enforced
23    against the recovery shall rest with the party seeking the
24    reduction. The court may consider the nature and extent of
25    the injury, economic and non-economic loss, settlement
26    offers, comparative negligence as it applies to the case at

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 787 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    hand, hospital costs, physician costs, and all other
2    appropriate costs. The Plan shall pay its pro rata share of
3    the attorney fees based on the Plan's recovery as it
4    compares to the total judgment. Any reimbursement rights of
5    the Plan shall take priority over all other liens and
6    charges existing under the laws of this State with the
7    exception of any attorney liens filed under the Attorneys
8    Lien Act.
9        (7) The Plan may compromise or settle and release any
10    claim for benefits provided under this Act or waive any
11    claims for benefits, in whole or in part, for the
12    convenience of the Plan or if the Plan determines that
13    collection would result in undue hardship upon the covered
14    person.

20    (220 ILCS 5/8-104)
21    Sec. 8-104. Natural gas energy efficiency programs.
22    (a) It is the policy of the State that natural gas
23utilities and the Department of Commerce and Economic
24Opportunity are required to use cost-effective energy

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 811 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1efficiency to reduce direct and indirect costs to consumers. It
2serves the public interest to allow natural gas utilities to
3recover costs for reasonably and prudently incurred expenses
4for cost-effective energy efficiency measures.
5    (b) For purposes of this Section, "energy efficiency" means
6measures that reduce the amount of energy required to achieve a
7given end use and "cost-effective" means that the measures
8satisfy the total resource cost test which, for purposes of
9this Section, means a standard that is met if, for an
10investment in energy efficiency, the benefit-cost ratio is
11greater than one. The benefit-cost ratio is the ratio of the
12net present value of the total benefits of the measures to the
13net present value of the total costs as calculated over the
14lifetime of the measures. The total resource cost test compares
15the sum of avoided natural gas utility costs, representing the
16benefits that accrue to the system and the participant in the
17delivery of those efficiency measures, as well as other
18quantifiable societal benefits, including avoided electric
19utility costs, to the sum of all incremental costs of end use
20measures (including both utility and participant
21contributions), plus costs to administer, deliver, and
22evaluate each demand-side measure, to quantify the net savings
23obtained by substituting demand-side measures for supply
24resources. In calculating avoided costs, reasonable estimates
25shall be included for financial costs likely to be imposed by
26future regulation of emissions of greenhouse gases. The

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 812 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1low-income programs described in item (4) of subsection (f) of
2this Section shall not be required to meet the total resource
3cost test.
4    (c) Natural gas utilities shall implement cost-effective
5energy efficiency measures to meet at least the following
6natural gas savings requirements, which shall be based upon the
7total amount of gas delivered to retail customers, other than
8the customers described in subsection (m) of this Section,
9during calendar year 2009 multiplied by the applicable
10percentage. Natural gas utilities may comply with this Section
11by meeting the annual incremental savings goal in the
12applicable year or by showing that total savings associated
13with measures implemented after May 31, 2011 were equal to the
14sum of each annual incremental savings requirement from May 31,
152011 through the end of the applicable year:
16        (1) 0.2% by May 31, 2012;
17        (2) an additional 0.4% by May 31, 2013, increasing
18    total savings to .6%;
19        (3) an additional 0.6% by May 31, 2014, increasing
20    total savings to 1.2%;
21        (4) an additional 0.8% by May 31, 2015, increasing
22    total savings to 2.0%;
23        (5) an additional 1% by May 31, 2016, increasing total
24    savings to 3.0%;
25        (6) an additional 1.2% by May 31, 2017, increasing
26    total savings to 4.2%;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 813 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (7) an additional 1.4% by May 31, 2018, increasing
2    total savings to 5.6%;
3        (8) an additional 1.5% by May 31, 2019, increasing
4    total savings to 7.1%; and
5        (9) an additional 1.5% in each 12-month period
6    thereafter.
7    (d) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (c) of
8this Section, a natural gas utility shall limit the amount of
9energy efficiency implemented in any 3-year reporting period
10established by subsection (f) of Section 8-104 of this Act, by
11an amount necessary to limit the estimated average increase in
12the amounts paid by retail customers in connection with natural
13gas service to no more than 2% in the applicable 3-year
14reporting period. The energy savings requirements in
15subsection (c) of this Section may be reduced by the Commission
16for the subject plan, if the utility demonstrates by
17substantial evidence that it is highly unlikely that the
18requirements could be achieved without exceeding the
19applicable spending limits in any 3-year reporting period. No
20later than September 1, 2013, the Commission shall review the
21limitation on the amount of energy efficiency measures
22implemented pursuant to this Section and report to the General
23Assembly, in the report required by subsection (k) of this
24Section, its findings as to whether that limitation unduly
25constrains the procurement of energy efficiency measures.
26    (e) Natural gas utilities shall be responsible for

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 814 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1overseeing the design, development, and filing of their
2efficiency plans with the Commission. The utility shall utilize
375% of the available funding associated with energy efficiency
4programs approved by the Commission, and may outsource various
5aspects of program development and implementation. The
6remaining 25% of available funding shall be used by the
7Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to implement
8energy efficiency measures that achieve no less than 20% of the
9requirements of subsection (c) of this Section. Such measures
10shall be designed in conjunction with the utility and approved
11by the Commission. The Department may outsource development and
12implementation of energy efficiency measures. A minimum of 10%
13of the entire portfolio of cost-effective energy efficiency
14measures shall be procured from local government, municipal
15corporations, school districts, and community college
16districts. Five percent of the entire portfolio of
17cost-effective energy efficiency measures may be granted to
18local government and municipal corporations for market
19transformation initiatives. The Department shall coordinate
20the implementation of these measures and shall integrate
21delivery of natural gas efficiency programs with electric
22efficiency programs delivered pursuant to Section 8-103 of this
23Act, unless the Department can show that integration is not
24feasible.

1efficiency measures shall be made to the Department once the
2Department has executed grants or contracts for energy
3efficiency measures and provided supporting documentation for
4those grants and the contracts to the utility.
5    The details of the measures implemented by the Department
6shall be submitted by the Department to the Commission in
7connection with the utility's filing regarding the energy
8efficiency measures that the utility implements.
9    A utility providing approved energy efficiency measures in
10this State shall be permitted to recover costs of those
11measures through an automatic adjustment clause tariff filed
12with and approved by the Commission. The tariff shall be
13established outside the context of a general rate case and
14shall be applicable to the utility's customers other than the
15customers described in subsection (m) of this Section. Each
16year the Commission shall initiate a review to reconcile any
17amounts collected with the actual costs and to determine the
18required adjustment to the annual tariff factor to match annual
19expenditures.
20    Each utility shall include, in its recovery of costs, the
21costs estimated for both the utility's and the Department's
22implementation of energy efficiency measures. Costs collected
23by the utility for measures implemented by the Department shall
24be submitted to the Department pursuant to Section 605-323 of
25the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois and shall be used by
26the Department solely for the purpose of implementing these

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 816 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1measures. A utility shall not be required to advance any moneys
2to the Department but only to forward such funds as it has
3collected. The Department shall report to the Commission on an
4annual basis regarding the costs actually incurred by the
5Department in the implementation of the measures. Any changes
6to the costs of energy efficiency measures as a result of plan
7modifications shall be appropriately reflected in amounts
8recovered by the utility and turned over to the Department.
9    The portfolio of measures, administered by both the
10utilities and the Department, shall, in combination, be
11designed to achieve the annual energy savings requirements set
12forth in subsection (c) of this Section, as modified by
13subsection (d) of this Section.
14    The utility and the Department shall agree upon a
15reasonable portfolio of measures and determine the measurable
16corresponding percentage of the savings goals associated with
17measures implemented by the Department.
18    No utility shall be assessed a penalty under subsection (f)
19of this Section for failure to make a timely filing if that
20failure is the result of a lack of agreement with the
21Department with respect to the allocation of responsibilities
22or related costs or target assignments. In that case, the
23Department and the utility shall file their respective plans
24with the Commission and the Commission shall determine an
25appropriate division of measures and programs that meets the
26requirements of this Section.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 817 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    If the Department is unable to meet performance
2requirements for the portion of the portfolio implemented by
3the Department, then the utility and the Department shall
4jointly submit a modified filing to the Commission explaining
5the performance shortfall and recommending an appropriate
6course going forward, including any program modifications that
7may be appropriate in light of the evaluations conducted under
8item (8) of subsection (f) of this Section. In this case, the
9utility obligation to collect the Department's costs and turn
10over those funds to the Department under this subsection (e)
11shall continue only if the Commission approves the
12modifications to the plan proposed by the Department.
13    (f) No later than October 1, 2010, each gas utility shall
14file an energy efficiency plan with the Commission to meet the
15energy efficiency standards through May 31, 2014. Every 3 years
16thereafter, each utility shall file, no later than October 1,
17an energy efficiency plan with the Commission. If a utility
18does not file such a plan by October 1 of the applicable year,
19then it shall face a penalty of $100,000 per day until the plan
20is filed. Each utility's plan shall set forth the utility's
21proposals to meet the utility's portion of the energy
22efficiency standards identified in subsection (c) of this
23Section, as modified by subsection (d) of this Section, taking
24into account the unique circumstances of the utility's service
25territory. The Commission shall seek public comment on the
26utility's plan and shall issue an order approving or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 818 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1disapproving each plan. If the Commission disapproves a plan,
2the Commission shall, within 30 days, describe in detail the
3reasons for the disapproval and describe a path by which the
4utility may file a revised draft of the plan to address the
5Commission's concerns satisfactorily. If the utility does not
6refile with the Commission within 60 days after the
7disapproval, the utility shall be subject to penalties at a
8rate of $100,000 per day until the plan is filed. This process
9shall continue, and penalties shall accrue, until the utility
10has successfully filed a portfolio of energy efficiency
11measures. Penalties shall be deposited into the Energy
12Efficiency Trust Fund and the cost of any such penalties may
13not be recovered from ratepayers. In submitting proposed energy
14efficiency plans and funding levels to meet the savings goals
15adopted by this Act the utility shall:
16        (1) Demonstrate that its proposed energy efficiency
17    measures will achieve the requirements that are identified
18    in subsection (c) of this Section, as modified by
19    subsection (d) of this Section.
20        (2) Present specific proposals to implement new
21    building and appliance standards that have been placed into
22    effect.
23        (3) Present estimates of the total amount paid for gas
24    service expressed on a per therm basis associated with the
25    proposed portfolio of measures designed to meet the
26    requirements that are identified in subsection (c) of this

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 819 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    Section, as modified by subsection (d) of this Section.
2        (4) Coordinate with the Department to present a
3    portfolio of energy efficiency measures proportionate to
4    the share of total annual utility revenues in Illinois from
5    households at or below 150% of the poverty level. Such
6    programs shall be targeted to households with incomes at or
7    below 80% of area median income.
8        (5) Demonstrate that its overall portfolio of energy
9    efficiency measures, not including programs covered by
10    item (4) of this subsection (f), are cost-effective using
11    the total resource cost test and represent a diverse cross
12    section of opportunities for customers of all rate classes
13    to participate in the programs.
14        (6) Demonstrate that a gas utility affiliated with an
15    electric utility that is required to comply with Section
16    8-103 of this Act has integrated gas and electric
17    efficiency measures into a single program that reduces
18    program or participant costs and appropriately allocates
19    costs to gas and electric ratepayers. The Department shall
20    integrate all gas and electric programs it delivers in any
21    such utilities' service territories, unless the Department
22    can show that integration is not feasible or appropriate.
23        (7) Include a proposed cost recovery tariff mechanism
24    to fund the proposed energy efficiency measures and to
25    ensure the recovery of the prudently and reasonably
26    incurred costs of Commission-approved programs.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 820 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (8) Provide for quarterly status reports tracking
2    implementation of and expenditures for the utility's
3    portfolio of measures and the Department's portfolio of
4    measures, an annual independent review, and a full
5    independent evaluation of the 3-year results of the
6    performance and the cost-effectiveness of the utility's
7    and Department's portfolios of measures and broader net
8    program impacts and, to the extent practical, for
9    adjustment of the measures on a going forward basis as a
10    result of the evaluations. The resources dedicated to
11    evaluation shall not exceed 3% of portfolio resources in
12    any given 3-year period.
13    (g) No more than 3% of expenditures on energy efficiency
14measures may be allocated for demonstration of breakthrough
15equipment and devices.
16    (h) Illinois natural gas utilities that are affiliated by
17virtue of a common parent company may, at the utilities'
18request, be considered a single natural gas utility for
19purposes of complying with this Section.
20    (i) If, after 3 years, a gas utility fails to meet the
21efficiency standard specified in subsection (c) of this Section
22as modified by subsection (d), then it shall make a
23contribution to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
24The total liability for failure to meet the goal shall be
25assessed as follows:
26        (1) a large gas utility shall pay $600,000;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 821 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (2) a medium gas utility shall pay $400,000; and
2        (3) a small gas utility shall pay $200,000.
3    For purposes of this Section, (i) a "large gas utility" is
4a gas utility that on December 31, 2008, served more than
51,500,000 gas customers in Illinois; (ii) a "medium gas
6utility" is a gas utility that on December 31, 2008, served
7fewer than 1,500,000, but more than 500,000 gas customers in
8Illinois; and (iii) a "small gas utility" is a gas utility that
9on December 31, 2008, served fewer than 500,000 and more than
10100,000 gas customers in Illinois. The costs of this
11contribution may not be recovered from ratepayers.
12    If a gas utility fails to meet the efficiency standard
13specified in subsection (c) of this Section, as modified by
14subsection (d) of this Section, in any 2 consecutive 3-year
15planning periods, then the responsibility for implementing the
16utility's energy efficiency measures shall be transferred to an
17independent program administrator selected by the Commission.
18Reasonable and prudent costs incurred by the independent
19program administrator to meet the efficiency standard
20specified in subsection (c) of this Section, as modified by
21subsection (d) of this Section, may be recovered from the
22customers of the affected gas utilities, other than customers
23described in subsection (m) of this Section. The utility shall
24provide the independent program administrator with all
25information and assistance necessary to perform the program
26administrator's duties including but not limited to customer,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 822 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1account, and energy usage data, and shall allow the program
2administrator to include inserts in customer bills. The utility
3may recover reasonable costs associated with any such
4assistance.
5    (j) No utility shall be deemed to have failed to meet the
6energy efficiency standards to the extent any such failure is
7due to a failure of the Department.
8    (k) Not later than January 1, 2012, the Commission shall
9develop and solicit public comment on a plan to foster
10statewide coordination and consistency between statutorily
11mandated natural gas and electric energy efficiency programs to
12reduce program or participant costs or to improve program
13performance. Not later than September 1, 2013, the Commission
14shall issue a report to the General Assembly containing its
15findings and recommendations.
16    (l) This Section does not apply to a gas utility that on
17January 1, 2009, provided gas service to fewer than 100,000
18customers in Illinois.
19    (m) Subsections (a) through (k) of this Section do not

9services.
10    (a) Every Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier
11(telecommunications carrier that offers or provides a
12noncompetitive telecommunications service) shall offer or
13provide advanced telecommunications services to not less than
1480% of its customers by January 1, 2005.
15    (b) The Commission is authorized to grant a full or partial
16waiver of the requirements of this Section upon verified
17petition of any Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier ("ILEC") which
18demonstrates that full compliance with the requirements of this
19Section would be unduly economically burdensome or technically
20infeasible or otherwise impractical in exchanges with low
21population density. Notice of any such petition must be given
22to all potentially affected customers. If no potentially
23affected customer requests the opportunity for a hearing on the
24waiver petition, the Commission may, in its discretion, allow
25the waiver request to take effect affect without hearing. The

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 829 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Commission shall grant such petition to the extent that, and
2for such duration as, the Commission determines that such
3waiver:
4        (1) is necessary:
5            (A) to avoid a significant adverse economic impact
6        on users of telecommunications services generally;
7            (B) to avoid imposing a requirement that is unduly
8        economically burdensome;
9            (C) to avoid imposing a requirement that is
10        technically infeasible; or
11            (D) to avoid imposing a requirement that is
12        otherwise impractical to implement in exchanges with
13        low population density; and
14        (2) is consistent with the public interest,
15    convenience, and necessity.
16The Commission shall act upon any petition filed under this
17subsection within 180 days after receiving such petition. The
18Commission may by rule establish standards for granting any
19waiver of the requirements of this Section. The Commission may,
20upon complaint or on its own motion, hold a hearing to
21reconsider its grant of a waiver in whole or in part. In the
22event that the Commission, following hearing, determines that
23the affected ILEC no longer meets the requirements of item (2)
24of this subsection, the Commission shall by order rescind such
25waiver, in whole or in part. In the event and to the degree the
26Commission rescinds such waiver, the Commission shall

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 830 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1establish an implementation schedule for compliance with the
2requirements of this Section.

9    Sec. 16-111.5. Provisions relating to procurement.
10    (a) An electric utility that on December 31, 2005 served at
11least 100,000 customers in Illinois shall procure power and
12energy for its eligible retail customers in accordance with the
13applicable provisions set forth in Section 1-75 of the Illinois
14Power Agency Act and this Section. A small multi-jurisdictional
15electric utility that on December 31, 2005 served less than
16100,000 customers in Illinois may elect to procure power and
17energy for all or a portion of its eligible Illinois retail
18customers in accordance with the applicable provisions set
19forth in this Section and Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power
20Agency Act. This Section shall not apply to a small
21multi-jurisdictional utility until such time as a small
22multi-jurisdictional utility requests the Illinois Power
23Agency to prepare a procurement plan for its eligible retail
24customers. "Eligible retail customers" for the purposes of this
25Section means those retail customers that purchase power and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 831 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1energy from the electric utility under fixed-price bundled
2service tariffs, other than those retail customers whose
3service is declared or deemed competitive under Section 16-113
4and those other customer groups specified in this Section,
5including self-generating customers, customers electing hourly
6pricing, or those customers who are otherwise ineligible for
7fixed-price bundled tariff service. Those customers that are
8excluded from the definition of "eligible retail customers"
9shall not be included in the procurement plan load
10requirements, and the utility shall procure any supply
11requirements, including capacity, ancillary services, and
12hourly priced energy, in the applicable markets as needed to
13serve those customers, provided that the utility may include in
14its procurement plan load requirements for the load that is
15associated with those retail customers whose service has been
16declared or deemed competitive pursuant to Section 16-113 of
17this Act to the extent that those customers are purchasing
18power and energy during one of the transition periods
19identified in subsection (b) of Section 16-113 of this Act.
20    (b) A procurement plan shall be prepared for each electric
21utility consistent with the applicable requirements of the
22Illinois Power Agency Act and this Section. For purposes of
23this Section, Illinois electric utilities that are affiliated
24by virtue of a common parent company are considered to be a
25single electric utility. Small multi-jurisdictional utilities
26may request a procurement plan for a portion of or all of its

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 832 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Illinois load. Each procurement plan shall analyze the
2projected balance of supply and demand for eligible retail
3customers over a 5-year period with the first planning year
4beginning on June 1 of the year following the year in which the
5plan is filed. The plan shall specifically identify the
6wholesale products to be procured following plan approval, and
7shall follow all the requirements set forth in the Public
8Utilities Act and all applicable State and federal laws,
9statutes, rules, or regulations, as well as Commission orders.
10Nothing in this Section precludes consideration of contracts
11longer than 5 years and related forecast data. Unless specified
12otherwise in this Section, in the procurement plan or in the
13implementing tariff, any procurement occurring in accordance
14with this plan shall be competitively bid through a request for
15proposals process. Approval and implementation of the
16procurement plan shall be subject to review and approval by the
17Commission according to the provisions set forth in this
18Section. A procurement plan shall include each of the following
19components:
20        (1) Hourly load analysis. This analysis shall include:
21            (i) multi-year historical analysis of hourly
22        loads;
23            (ii) switching trends and competitive retail
24        market analysis;
25            (iii) known or projected changes to future loads;
26        and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 833 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            (iv) growth forecasts by customer class.
2        (2) Analysis of the impact of any demand side and
3    renewable energy initiatives. This analysis shall include:
4            (i) the impact of demand response programs and
5        energy efficiency programs, both current and
6        projected; for small multi-jurisdictional utilities,
7        the impact of demand response and energy efficiency
8        programs approved pursuant to Section 8-408 of this
9        Act, both current and projected; and
10            (ii) supply side needs that are projected to be
11        offset by purchases of renewable energy resources, if
12        any.
13        (3) A plan for meeting the expected load requirements
14    that will not be met through preexisting contracts. This
15    plan shall include:
16            (i) definitions of the different Illinois retail
17        customer classes for which supply is being purchased;
18            (ii) the proposed mix of demand-response products
19        for which contracts will be executed during the next
20        year. For small multi-jurisdictional electric
21        utilities that on December 31, 2005 served fewer than
22        100,000 customers in Illinois, these shall be defined
23        as demand-response products offered in an energy
24        efficiency plan approved pursuant to Section 8-408 of
25        this Act. The cost-effective demand-response measures
26        shall be procured whenever the cost is lower than

1        procuring comparable capacity products, provided that
2        such products shall:
3                (A) be procured by a demand-response provider
4            from eligible retail customers;
5                (B) at least satisfy the demand-response
6            requirements of the regional transmission
7            organization market in which the utility's service
8            territory is located, including, but not limited
9            to, any applicable capacity or dispatch
10            requirements;
11                (C) provide for customers' participation in
12            the stream of benefits produced by the
13            demand-response products;
14                (D) provide for reimbursement by the
15            demand-response provider of the utility for any
16            costs incurred as a result of the failure of the
17            supplier of such products to perform its
18            obligations thereunder; and
19                (E) meet the same credit requirements as apply
20            to suppliers of capacity, in the applicable
21            regional transmission organization market;
22            (iii) monthly forecasted system supply
23        requirements, including expected minimum, maximum, and
24        average values for the planning period;
25            (iv) the proposed mix and selection of standard
26        wholesale products for which contracts will be

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 835 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        executed during the next year, separately or in
2        combination, to meet that portion of its load
3        requirements not met through pre-existing contracts,
4        including but not limited to monthly 5 x 16 peak period
5        block energy, monthly off-peak wrap energy, monthly 7 x
6        24 energy, annual 5 x 16 energy, annual off-peak wrap
7        energy, annual 7 x 24 energy, monthly capacity, annual
8        capacity, peak load capacity obligations, capacity
9        purchase plan, and ancillary services;
10            (v) proposed term structures for each wholesale
11        product type included in the proposed procurement plan
12        portfolio of products; and
13            (vi) an assessment of the price risk, load
14        uncertainty, and other factors that are associated
15        with the proposed procurement plan; this assessment,
16        to the extent possible, shall include an analysis of
17        the following factors: contract terms, time frames for
18        securing products or services, fuel costs, weather
19        patterns, transmission costs, market conditions, and
20        the governmental regulatory environment; the proposed
21        procurement plan shall also identify alternatives for
22        those portfolio measures that are identified as having
23        significant price risk.
24        (4) Proposed procedures for balancing loads. The
25    procurement plan shall include, for load requirements
26    included in the procurement plan, the process for (i)

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 836 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    hourly balancing of supply and demand and (ii) the criteria
2    for portfolio re-balancing in the event of significant
3    shifts in load.

13    the filing, the Commission shall determine whether a
14    hearing is necessary. The Commission shall enter its order
15    confirming or modifying the procurement plan within 90 days
16    after the filing of the procurement plan by the Illinois
17    Power Agency.
18        (4) The Commission shall approve the procurement plan,
19    including expressly the forecast used in the procurement
20    plan, if the Commission determines that it will ensure
21    adequate, reliable, affordable, efficient, and
22    environmentally sustainable electric service at the lowest
23    total cost over time, taking into account any benefits of
24    price stability.
25    (e) The procurement process shall include each of the
26following components:

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 841 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (1) Solicitation, pre-qualification, and registration
2    of bidders. The procurement administrator shall
3    disseminate information to potential bidders to promote a
4    procurement event, notify potential bidders that the
5    procurement administrator may enter into a post-bid price
6    negotiation with bidders that meet the applicable
7    benchmarks, provide supply requirements, and otherwise
8    explain the competitive procurement process. In addition
9    to such other publication as the procurement administrator
10    determines is appropriate, this information shall be
11    posted on the Illinois Power Agency's and the Commission's
12    websites. The procurement administrator shall also
13    administer the prequalification process, including
14    evaluation of credit worthiness, compliance with
15    procurement rules, and agreement to the standard form
16    contract developed pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
17    subsection (e). The procurement administrator shall then
18    identify and register bidders to participate in the
19    procurement event.
20        (2) Standard contract forms and credit terms and
21    instruments. The procurement administrator, in
22    consultation with the utilities, the Commission, and other
23    interested parties and subject to Commission oversight,
24    shall develop and provide standard contract forms for the
25    supplier contracts that meet generally accepted industry
26    practices. Standard credit terms and instruments that meet

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 842 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    generally accepted industry practices shall be similarly
2    developed. The procurement administrator shall make
3    available to the Commission all written comments it
4    receives on the contract forms, credit terms, or
5    instruments. If the procurement administrator cannot reach
6    agreement with the applicable electric utility as to the
7    contract terms and conditions, the procurement
8    administrator must notify the Commission of any disputed
9    terms and the Commission shall resolve the dispute. The
10    terms of the contracts shall not be subject to negotiation
11    by winning bidders, and the bidders must agree to the terms
12    of the contract in advance so that winning bids are
13    selected solely on the basis of price.
14        (3) Establishment of a market-based price benchmark.
15    As part of the development of the procurement process, the
16    procurement administrator, in consultation with the
17    Commission staff, Agency staff, and the procurement
18    monitor, shall establish benchmarks for evaluating the
19    final prices in the contracts for each of the products that
20    will be procured through the procurement process. The
21    benchmarks shall be based on price data for similar
22    products for the same delivery period and same delivery
23    hub, or other delivery hubs after adjusting for that
24    difference. The price benchmarks may also be adjusted to
25    take into account differences between the information
26    reflected in the underlying data sources and the specific

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 843 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    products and procurement process being used to procure
2    power for the Illinois utilities. The benchmarks shall be
3    confidential but shall be provided to, and will be subject
4    to Commission review and approval, prior to a procurement
5    event.
6        (4) Request for proposals competitive procurement
7    process. The procurement administrator shall design and
8    issue a request for proposals to supply electricity in
9    accordance with each utility's procurement plan, as
10    approved by the Commission. The request for proposals shall
11    set forth a procedure for sealed, binding commitment
12    bidding with pay-as-bid settlement, and provision for
13    selection of bids on the basis of price.
14        (5) A plan for implementing contingencies in the event
15    of supplier default or failure of the procurement process
16    to fully meet the expected load requirement due to
17    insufficient supplier participation, Commission rejection
18    of results, or any other cause.
19            (i) Event of supplier default: In the event of
20        supplier default, the utility shall review the
21        contract of the defaulting supplier to determine if the
22        amount of supply is 200 megawatts or greater, and if
23        there are more than 60 days remaining of the contract
24        term. If both of these conditions are met, and the
25        default results in termination of the contract, the
26        utility shall immediately notify the Illinois Power

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 844 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        Agency that a request for proposals must be issued to
2        procure replacement power, and the procurement
3        administrator shall run an additional procurement
4        event. If the contracted supply of the defaulting
5        supplier is less than 200 megawatts or there are less
6        than 60 days remaining of the contract term, the
7        utility shall procure power and energy from the
8        applicable regional transmission organization market,
9        including ancillary services, capacity, and day-ahead
10        or real time energy, or both, for the duration of the
11        contract term to replace the contracted supply;
12        provided, however, that if a needed product is not
13        available through the regional transmission
14        organization market it shall be purchased from the
15        wholesale market.
16            (ii) Failure of the procurement process to fully
17        meet the expected load requirement: If the procurement
18        process fails to fully meet the expected load
19        requirement due to insufficient supplier participation
20        or due to a Commission rejection of the procurement
21        results, the procurement administrator, the
22        procurement monitor, and the Commission staff shall
23        meet within 10 days to analyze potential causes of low
24        supplier interest or causes for the Commission
25        decision. If changes are identified that would likely
26        result in increased supplier participation, or that

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 845 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        would address concerns causing the Commission to
2        reject the results of the prior procurement event, the
3        procurement administrator may implement those changes
4        and rerun the request for proposals process according
5        to a schedule determined by those parties and
6        consistent with Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power
7        Agency Act and this subsection. In any event, a new
8        request for proposals process shall be implemented by
9        the procurement administrator within 90 days after the
10        determination that the procurement process has failed
11        to fully meet the expected load requirement.
12            (iii) In all cases where there is insufficient
13        supply provided under contracts awarded through the
14        procurement process to fully meet the electric
15        utility's load requirement, the utility shall meet the
16        load requirement by procuring power and energy from the
17        applicable regional transmission organization market,
18        including ancillary services, capacity, and day-ahead
19        or real time energy or both; provided, however, that if
20        a needed product is not available through the regional
21        transmission organization market it shall be purchased
22        from the wholesale market.
23        (6) The procurement process described in this
24    subsection is exempt from the requirements of the Illinois
25    Procurement Code, pursuant to Section 20-10 of that Code.
26    (f) Within 2 business days after opening the sealed bids,

10bidder behavior in the process as well as an assessment of the
11procurement administrator's compliance with the procurement
12process and rules. The Commission shall review the confidential
13reports submitted by the procurement administrator and
14procurement monitor, and shall accept or reject the
15recommendations of the procurement administrator within 2
16business days after receipt of the reports.
17    (g) Within 3 business days after the Commission decision
18approving the results of a procurement event, the utility shall
19enter into binding contractual arrangements with the winning
20suppliers using the standard form contracts; except that the
21utility shall not be required either directly or indirectly to
22execute the contracts if a tariff that is consistent with
23subsection (l) of this Section has not been approved and placed
24into effect for that utility.
25    (h) The names of the successful bidders and the load
26weighted average of the winning bid prices for each contract

8regulations, and tariffs. Confidential information, including
9the confidential reports submitted by the procurement
10administrator and procurement monitor pursuant to subsection
11(f) of this Section, shall not be made publicly available and
12shall not be discoverable by any party in any proceeding,
13absent a compelling demonstration of need, nor shall those
14reports be admissible in any proceeding other than one for law
15enforcement purposes.

17approving the results of a procurement event or such other date
18as may be required by the Commission from time to time, the
19utility shall file for informational purposes with the
20Commission its actual or estimated retail supply charges, as
21applicable, by customer supply group reflecting the costs
22associated with the procurement and computed in accordance with
23the tariffs filed pursuant to subsection (l) of this Section
24and approved by the Commission.
25    (j) Within 60 days following the effective date of this
26amendatory Act, each electric utility that on December 31, 2005

2Illinois shall prepare and file with the Commission an initial
3procurement plan, which shall conform in all material respects
4to the requirements of the procurement plan set forth in
5subsection (b); provided, however, that the Illinois Power
6Agency Act shall not apply to the initial procurement plan
7prepared pursuant to this subsection. The initial procurement
8plan shall identify the portfolio of power and energy products
9to be procured and delivered for the period June 2008 through
10May 2009, and shall identify the proposed procurement
11administrator, who shall have the same experience and expertise
12as is required of a procurement administrator hired pursuant to
13Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act. Copies of the
14procurement plan shall be posted and made publicly available on
15the Commission's website. The initial procurement plan may
16include contracts for renewable resources that extend beyond
17May 2009.
18        (i) Within 14 days following filing of the initial
19    procurement plan, any person may file a detailed objection
20    with the Commission contesting the procurement plan
21    submitted by the electric utility. All objections to the
22    electric utility's plan shall be specific, supported by
23    data or other detailed analyses. The electric utility may
24    file a response to any objections to its procurement plan
25    within 7 days after the date objections are due to be

SB3798 Enrolled- 849 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    is due, the Commission shall determine whether a hearing is
2    necessary. If it determines that a hearing is necessary, it
3    shall require the hearing to be completed and issue an
4    order on the procurement plan within 60 days after the
5    filing of the procurement plan by the electric utility.
6        (ii) The order shall approve or modify the procurement
7    plan, approve an independent procurement administrator,
8    and approve or modify the electric utility's tariffs that
9    are proposed with the initial procurement plan. The
10    Commission shall approve the procurement plan if the
11    Commission determines that it will ensure adequate,
12    reliable, affordable, efficient, and environmentally
13    sustainable electric service at the lowest total cost over
14    time, taking into account any benefits of price stability.
15    (k) In order to promote price stability for residential and
16small commercial customers during the transition to
17competition in Illinois, and notwithstanding any other
18provision of this Act, each electric utility subject to this
19Section shall enter into one or more multi-year financial swap
20contracts that become effective on the effective date of this
21amendatory Act. These contracts may be executed with generators
22and power marketers, including affiliated interests of the
23electric utility. These contracts shall be for a term of no
24more than 5 years and shall, for each respective utility or for
25any Illinois electric utilities that are affiliated by virtue
26of a common parent company and that are thereby considered a

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 850 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1single electric utility for purposes of this subsection (k),
2not exceed in the aggregate 3,000 megawatts for any hour of the
3year. The contracts shall be financial contracts and not energy
4sales contracts. The contracts shall be executed as
5transactions under a negotiated master agreement based on the
6form of master agreement for financial swap contracts sponsored
7by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
8and shall be considered pre-existing contracts in the
9utilities' procurement plans for residential and small
10commercial customers. Costs incurred pursuant to a contract
11authorized by this subsection (k) shall be deemed prudently
12incurred and reasonable in amount and the electric utility
13shall be entitled to full cost recovery pursuant to the tariffs
14filed with the Commission.
15    (k-5) In order to promote price stability for residential
16and small commercial customers during the infrastructure
17investment program described in subsection (b) of Section
1816-108.5 of this Act, and notwithstanding any other provision
19of this Act or the Illinois Power Agency Act, for each electric
20utility that serves more than one million retail customers in
21Illinois, the Illinois Power Agency shall conduct a procurement
22event within 120 days after October 26, 2011 (the effective
23date of Public Act 97-616) this amendatory Act of the 97th
24General Assembly and may procure contracts for energy and
25renewable energy credits for the period June 1, 2013 through
26December 31, 2017 that satisfy the requirements of this

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 851 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1subsection (k-5), including the benchmarks described in this
2subsection. These contracts shall be entered into as the result
3of a competitive procurement event, and, to the extent that any
4provisions of this Section or the Illinois Power Agency Act do
5not conflict with this subsection (k-5), such provisions shall
6apply to the procurement event. The energy contracts shall be
7for 24 hour by 7 day supply over a term that runs from the first
8delivery year through December 31, 2017. For a utility that
9serves over 2 million customers, the energy contracts shall be
10multi-year with pricing escalating at 2.5% per annum. The
11energy contracts may be designed as financial swaps or may
12require physical delivery.
13    Within 30 days of October 26, 2011 (the effective date of
14Public Act 97-616) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
15Assembly, each such utility shall submit to the Agency updated
16load forecasts for the period June 1, 2013 through December 31,
172017. The megawatt volume of the contracts shall be based on
18the updated load forecasts of the minimum monthly on-peak or
19off-peak average load requirements shown in the forecasts,
20taking into account any existing energy contracts in effect as
21well as the expected migration of the utility's customers to
22alternative retail electric suppliers. The renewable energy
23credit volume shall be based on the number of credits that
24would satisfy the requirements of subsection (c) of Section
251-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act, subject to the rate
26impact caps and other provisions of subsection (c) of Section

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 852 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

11-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act. The evaluation of
2contract bids in the competitive procurement events for energy
3and for renewable energy credits shall incorporate price
4benchmarks set collaboratively by the Agency, the procurement
5administrator, the staff of the Commission, and the procurement
6monitor. If the contracts are swap contracts, then they shall
7be executed as transactions under a negotiated master agreement
8based on the form of master agreement for financial swap
9contracts sponsored by the International Swaps and Derivatives
10Association, Inc. Costs incurred pursuant to a contract
11authorized by this subsection (k-5) shall be deemed prudently
12incurred and reasonable in amount and the electric utility
13shall be entitled to full cost recovery pursuant to the tariffs
14filed with the Commission.
15    The cost of administering the procurement event described
16in this subsection (k-5) shall be paid by the winning supplier
17or suppliers to the procurement administrator through a
18supplier fee. In the event that there is no winning supplier
19for a particular utility, such utility will pay the procurement
20administrator for the costs associated with the procurement
21event, and those costs shall not be a recoverable expense.
22Nothing in this subsection (k-5) is intended to alter the
23recovery of costs for any other procurement event.
24    (l) An electric utility shall recover its costs incurred
25under this Section, including, but not limited to, the costs of
26procuring power and energy demand-response resources under

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 853 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1this Section. The utility shall file with the initial
2procurement plan its proposed tariffs through which its costs
3of procuring power that are incurred pursuant to a
4Commission-approved procurement plan and those other costs
5identified in this subsection (l), will be recovered. The
6tariffs shall include a formula rate or charge designed to pass
7through both the costs incurred by the utility in procuring a
8supply of electric power and energy for the applicable customer
9classes with no mark-up or return on the price paid by the
10utility for that supply, plus any just and reasonable costs
11that the utility incurs in arranging and providing for the
12supply of electric power and energy. The formula rate or charge
13shall also contain provisions that ensure that its application
14does not result in over or under recovery due to changes in
15customer usage and demand patterns, and that provide for the
16correction, on at least an annual basis, of any accounting
17errors that may occur. A utility shall recover through the
18tariff all reasonable costs incurred to implement or comply
19with any procurement plan that is developed and put into effect
20pursuant to Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act and
21this Section, including any fees assessed by the Illinois Power
22Agency, costs associated with load balancing, and contingency
23plan costs. The electric utility shall also recover its full
24costs of procuring electric supply for which it contracted
25before the effective date of this Section in conjunction with
26the provision of full requirements service under fixed-price

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 854 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1bundled service tariffs subsequent to December 31, 2006. All
2such costs shall be deemed to have been prudently incurred. The
3pass-through tariffs that are filed and approved pursuant to
4this Section shall not be subject to review under, or in any
5way limited by, Section 16-111(i) of this Act.
6    (m) The Commission has the authority to adopt rules to
7carry out the provisions of this Section. For the public
8interest, safety, and welfare, the Commission also has
9authority to adopt rules to carry out the provisions of this
10Section on an emergency basis immediately following the
11effective date of this amendatory Act.
12    (n) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, any
13affiliated electric utilities that submit a single procurement
14plan covering their combined needs may procure for those
15combined needs in conjunction with that plan, and may enter
16jointly into power supply contracts, purchases, and other
17procurement arrangements, and allocate capacity and energy and
18cost responsibility therefor among themselves in proportion to
19their requirements.
20    (o) On or before June 1 of each year, the Commission shall
21hold an informal hearing for the purpose of receiving comments
22on the prior year's procurement process and any recommendations
23for change.
24    (p) An electric utility subject to this Section may propose
25to invest, lease, own, or operate an electric generation
26facility as part of its procurement plan, provided the utility

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 855 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1demonstrates that such facility is the least-cost option to
2provide electric service to eligible retail customers. If the
3facility is shown to be the least-cost option and is included
4in a procurement plan prepared in accordance with Section 1-75
5of the Illinois Power Agency Act and this Section, then the
6electric utility shall make a filing pursuant to Section 8-406
7of this Act, and may request of the Commission any statutory
8relief required thereunder. If the Commission grants all of the
9necessary approvals for the proposed facility, such supply
10shall thereafter be considered as a pre-existing contract under
11subsection (b) of this Section. The Commission shall in any
12order approving a proposal under this subsection specify how
13the utility will recover the prudently incurred costs of
14investing in, leasing, owning, or operating such generation
15facility through just and reasonable rates charged to eligible
16retail customers. Cost recovery for facilities included in the
17utility's procurement plan pursuant to this subsection shall
18not be subject to review under or in any way limited by the
19provisions of Section 16-111(i) of this Act. Nothing in this
20Section is intended to prohibit a utility from filing for a
21fuel adjustment clause as is otherwise permitted under Section
229-220 of this Act.

SB3798 Enrolled- 945 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (225 ILCS 515/4)  (from Ch. 111, par. 904)
2    Sec. 4. It shall be unlawful for any person to act as an
3employment counsellor, or to advertise, or assume to act as an
4employment counsellor, without first obtaining a license as
5such employment counsellor, from the Department of Labor. It
6shall be unlawful for any person to engage in, operate or carry
7on the business of an employment agency unless each employee of
8such agency, who furnishes information to any person as to
9where employees or employment may be obtained or found, is a
10licensed employment counsellor. Where the license to conduct an
11employment agency is issued to a corporation and any officer of
12the corporation performs any function defined as those to be
13performed by an employment counsellor, he shall be considered
14an employee of the corporation and shall be required to secure
15a license as an employment counsellor.
16    Every person who desires to obtain a license, as employment
17counsellor, shall apply therefor to the Department of Labor, in
18writing, upon application blanks prepared and furnished by the
19Department of Labor. Each applicant shall set out in said
20application blanks such information as the Department may
21require, and said applications shall be accompanied by a permit
22fee of $50 and the affidavits of two persons of business or
23professional integrity. Such affiants shall state that they
24have known the applicant for a period of two years and that the
25applicant is a person of good moral character.
26    The Department shall issue to such person a temporary

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 946 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1permit to act as an employment counsellor which permit shall be
2valid for 90 days pending examination of such person when:
3    (a) the applicant is employed by an employment agency, and
4the application states the name and address of such employment
5agency; and
6    (b) the applicant declares under oath his intention that he
7will complete the examination for the employment agency
8counsellor's license on a date scheduled for such examination
9by the Department of Labor within 60 days of the date of
10application.
11    Commencing January 1, 1974 the Department shall not issue a
12license to act as an employment counsellor counselor to any
13person not previously licensed as such employment counsellor
14counselor on such date unless he has taken and successfully
15completed a written examination based upon this Act. The
16Department of Labor shall conduct such examination at such
17times and places as it shall determine, but not less than once
18each month. The examination shall test the applicant's
19knowledge of the employment agency law, pertinent labor laws
20and laws against discrimination in employment. Upon successful
21completion of the written examination and providing the
22requirements of this Section are met, the Department shall
23issue a license to act as an employment counsellor and no
24additional licensing fee shall be required.
25    In the event of failure to appear for the examination as
26scheduled or if the applicant appears and fails to pass, such

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 947 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1person shall pay a fee of $10 for rescheduling at a later date.
2No person may be rescheduled for examination more than twice in
3any calendar year except in the event that he has failed to
4appear for examination and such failure to appear was not
5willful but was the result of illness of the applicant or a
6member of his immediate family or of some other emergency.
7    The Department of Labor may require such other proof as to
8the honesty, truthfulness and integrity of the applicant, as
9may be deemed necessary and desirable. If the applicant is
10shown to be honest, truthful and of known integrity, and has
11successfully completed the written examination required under
12this Section, the Department of Labor shall issue a license,
13which license shall set out the true name and address of the
14applicant, the name of the Employment agency by whom he is
15employed, and such additional information as the Department may
16prescribe. The license issued shall authorize the person named

19of $25.
20    The applicant must furnish satisfactory proof to the
21Department that he has never been a party to any fraud, has no
22jail record, belongs to no subversive societies and is of good
23moral character and business integrity.

25character and business integrity under this Section, the
26Department may take into consideration any felony conviction of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 948 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the applicant, but such a conviction shall not operate as a bar
2to licensing.
3    The license of the employment counsellor shall be mailed to
4the employment agency by which he is employed, and shall be
5kept in the office of such agency and produced for inspection
6by any agent of the Department of Labor, at any time during
7business hours.
8    The Department of Labor, upon its own motion, or upon the
9filing of a verified complaint with the department, by any
10person, accompanied by such evidence, documentary or
11otherwise, as makes out a prima facie case that the licensee is
12unworthy to hold a license, shall notify the employment
13counsellor in writing that the question of his honesty,
14truthfulness, integrity, moral character, business integrity
15or felony conviction is to be reopened and determined, de novo.
16This notice shall be served by delivering a copy to the
17licensed person, or by mailing a copy to him, by registered
18mail, at his last known business address. Thereupon, the
19Department of Labor shall require further proof of the

1without having first obtained a permit to charge such
2registration fee from the Department of Labor. Any such
3licensee desiring to charge a registration fee shall make
4application in writing to the Department of Labor, and shall
5set out in the application the type of applicants from whom
6they intend to accept a registration fee, the amount of the fee
7to be charged, and shall furnish any other information on the
8subject that the Department of Labor may deem necessary to
9enable it to determine whether the agency's business methods
10and past record entitle the agency to a permit.
11    It is the duty of the Department of Labor to make an
12investigation, upon receipt of the application, as to the
13truthfulness of the application and the necessity of the charge
14of a registration fee; and if it is shown that the agency's
15method of doing business is of such a nature that a permit to
16charge a registration fee is necessary, and that the agency's
17record has been reasonable and fair, then the Department of
18Labor shall grant a permit to such agency. Such permit shall
19remain in force until revoked for cause. No permit shall be
20granted until after 10 days from the date of filing of the
21application.

2communicate in writing with at least 2 of the persons mentioned
3as reference by every applicant from whom a registration fee is
4accepted. Failure on the part of a licensee to make such
5investigation shall be deemed cause to revoke the permit to
6charge a registration fee. For such registration fee a receipt
7shall be given to the applicant for employees or employment,
8and shall state therein the name of such applicant, date and
9amount of payment, the character of position or employee
10applied for, and the name and address of such agency. If no
11position has been furnished by the licensed agency to the
12applicant, then the registration fee shall be returned to the
13applicant on demand after 30 days and within 6 months from the
14date of receipt thereof, less the amount that has been actually
15expended by the licensee in checking the references of the
16applicant, and an itemized account of such expenditures shall
17be presented to the applicant on request at the time of
18returning the unused portion of such registration fee.
19    Any such permit granted by the Department of Labor may be
20revoked by it upon due notice to the holder of said permit and
21due cause shown and hearing thereon.
22    No such licensee shall, as a condition to registering or
23obtaining employment for such applicant, require such
24applicant to subscribe to any publication or to any postal card

22employer, or shall state whether the fee is to be negotiable
23between the employer and the employee. A duplicate of all such

2provided that nothing in this Article shall be construed to
3create an entitlement to a particular grant or service level or
4to aid in amounts not authorized under this Code, nor construed
5to limit the authority of the General Assembly to change the
6eligibility requirements or provisions respecting assistance
7amounts. The General Assembly recognizes that the need for aid
8will fluctuate with the economic situation in Illinois and that
9at times the number of people receiving aid under this Article
10will increase.

16Article on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
17of 1995 shall prepare and submit, as part of the application or
18subsequent redetermination, a personal plan for achieving
19employment and self-sufficiency. The plan shall incorporate
20the individualized assessment and employability plan set out in
21subsections (d), (f), and (g) of Section 9A-8. The plan may be
22amended as the recipient's needs change. The assessment process
23to develop the plan shall include questions that screen for
24domestic violence issues and steps needed to address these
25issues may be part of the plan. If the individual indicates
26that he or she is a victim of domestic violence, he or she may

1    eligibility standard authorized by this paragraph 15. The
2    Department may not otherwise adopt any rule to implement
3    this increase except as authorized by law, to meet the

9    certified and referred by the Department of Public Health
10    as having been screened and found to need diagnostic
11    evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and
12    treatment, for prostate or testicular cancer. For the

14    who do not have creditable coverage, as defined under the
15    Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or
16    have otherwise exhausted any insurance benefits they may
17    have had, for prostate or testicular cancer diagnostic
18    evaluation or treatment, or both diagnostic evaluation and
19    treatment. To be eligible, a person must furnish a Social
20    Security number. A person's assets are exempt from
21    consideration in determining eligibility under this
22    paragraph 16. Such persons shall be eligible for medical
23    assistance under this paragraph 16 for so long as they need
24    treatment for the cancer. A person shall be considered to
25    need treatment if, in the opinion of the person's treating
26    physician, the person requires therapy directed toward

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1018 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

2    including recurrent metastatic cancer that is a known or
3    presumed complication of prostate or testicular cancer and
4    complications resulting from the treatment modalities
5    themselves. Persons who require only routine monitoring
6    services are not considered to need treatment. "Medical
7    assistance" under this paragraph 16 shall be identical to
8    the benefits provided under the State's approved plan under
9    Title XIX of the Social Security Act. Notwithstanding any
10    other provision of law, the Department (i) does not have a
11    claim against the estate of a deceased recipient of
12    services under this paragraph 16 and (ii) does not have a
13    lien against any homestead property or other legal or

15    services under this paragraph 16.
16    In implementing the provisions of Public Act 96-20, the
17Department is authorized to adopt only those rules necessary,
18including emergency rules. Nothing in Public Act 96-20 permits
19the Department to adopt rules or issue a decision that expands
20eligibility for the FamilyCare Program to a person whose income
21exceeds 185% of the Federal Poverty Level as determined from
22time to time by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
23Services, unless the Department is provided with express
24statutory authority.
25    The Illinois Department and the Governor shall provide a
26plan for coverage of the persons eligible under paragraph 7 as

3under this Article is not affected by the payment of any grant

15    Section 505. The Early Intervention Services System Act is
16amended by changing Section 13.15 as follows:
 
17    (325 ILCS 20/13.15)
18    Sec. 13.15. Billing of insurance carrier.
19    (a) Subject to the restrictions against private insurance
20use on the basis of material risk of loss of coverage, as
21determined under Section 13.25, each enrolled provider who is
22providing a family with early intervention services shall bill
23the child's insurance carrier for each unit of early
24intervention service for which coverage may be available. The

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1073 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1lead agency may exempt from the requirement of this paragraph
2any early intervention service that it has deemed not to be
3covered by insurance plans. When the service is not exempted,
4providers who receive a denial of payment on the basis that the
5service is not covered under any circumstance under the plan
6are not required to bill that carrier for that service again
7until the following insurance benefit year. That explanation of
8benefits denying the claim, once submitted to the central
9billing office, shall be sufficient to meet the requirements of
10this paragraph as to subsequent services billed under the same
11billing code provided to that child during that insurance
12benefit year. Any time limit on a provider's filing of a claim
13for payment with the central billing office that is imposed
14through a policy, procedure, or rule of the lead agency shall
15be suspended until the provider receives an explanation of
16benefits or other final determination of the claim it files
17with the child's insurance carrier.
18    (b) In all instances when an insurance carrier has been
19billed for early intervention services, whether paid in full,
20paid in part, or denied by the carrier, the provider must
21provide the central billing office, within 90 days after
22receipt, with a copy of the explanation of benefits form and
23other information in the manner prescribed by the lead agency.
24    (c) When the insurance carrier has denied the claim or paid
25an amount for the early intervention service billed that is
26less than that the current State rate for early intervention

1services, the provider shall submit the explanation of benefits
2with a claim for payment, and the lead agency shall pay the
3provider the difference between the sum actually paid by the
4insurance carrier for each unit of service provided under the
5individualized family service plan and the current State rate
6for early intervention services. The State shall also pay the
7family's co-payment or co-insurance under its plan, but only to
8the extent that those payments plus the balance of the claim do
9not exceed the current State rate for early intervention
10services. The provider may under no circumstances bill the
11family for the difference between its charge for services and
12that which has been paid by the insurance carrier or by the
13State.

1        2. failed to give the required or correct information

3        3. failed to pay any fees, civil penalties owed to the
4    Illinois Commerce Commission, or taxes due under this Act
5    and upon reasonable notice and demand; or
6        4. committed any fraud in the making of such
7    application; or
8        5. is ineligible therefor under the provisions of
9    Section 6-103 of this Act, as amended; or
10        6. has refused or neglected to submit an alcohol, drug,
11    and intoxicating compound evaluation or to submit to
12    examination or re-examination as required under this Act;
13    or
14        7. has been convicted of violating the Cannabis Control
15    Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
16    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
17    the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act while that individual
18    was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. For
19    purposes of this Section, any person placed on probation
20    under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410
21    of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of
22    the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act
23    shall not be considered convicted. Any person found guilty
24    of this offense, while in actual physical control of a

2    the clerk of the court to report the violation to the
3    Secretary of State as such. After the cancellation, the
4    Secretary of State shall not issue a new license or permit
5    for a period of one year after the date of cancellation.
6    However, upon application, the Secretary of State may, if
7    satisfied that the person applying will not endanger the
8    public safety, or welfare, issue a restricted driving
9    permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle
10    between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's place
11    of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's

4    revocation and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
5    manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
6    hereunder may be cancelled, revoked or suspended; except
7    that a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
8    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
9    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or
10    cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary
11    of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
12    restricted driving permit, require the applicant to
13    participate in a driver remedial or rehabilitative
14    program. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
15    State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
16    operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding
17    a CDL whose driving privileges have been revoked,

4        11. refused or neglected to appear at a Driver Services
5    facility to have the license or permit corrected and a new
6    license or permit issued or to present documentation for
7    verification of identity; or

24    Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
25Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1187 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
2other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
3threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
4a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's
5license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
6driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of
7driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public safety,
8is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a
9monitoring device driving permit. A person who drives and fails
10to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device
11driving permit commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this
12Code.
13    The following procedures shall apply whenever a first
14offender, as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, is
15arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
16similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the
17provisions of Section 11-501.1:
18    (a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving
19privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1 of
20this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice
21informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring
22device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at
23minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed
24for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
25ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
26Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1188 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
2provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
3information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
4person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
5notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
6the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
7subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
8issued if the Secretary finds that:
9        (1) The offender's driver's license is otherwise
10    invalid;
11        (2) Death or great bodily harm resulted from the arrest
12    for Section 11-501;
13        (3) The offender has been previously convicted of
14    reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the
15    influence involving death; or
16        (4) The offender is less than 18 years of age.
17    Any offender participating in the MDDP program must pay the
18Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to exceed
19$30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring Device
20Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary shall
21establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and
22conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an
23ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
24the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device
25provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
26prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1189 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
2Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
3    A MDDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of
4the original statutory summary suspension.
5    Upon receipt of the notice, as provided in paragraph (a) of
6this Section, the person may file a petition to decline
7issuance of the MDDP with the court of venue. The court shall
8admonish the offender of all consequences of declining issuance
9of the MDDP including, but not limited to, the enhanced
10penalties for driving while suspended. After being so
11admonished, the offender shall be permitted, in writing, to
12execute a notice declining issuance of the MDDP. This notice
13shall be filed with the court and forwarded by the clerk of the
14court to the Secretary. The offender may, at any time
15thereafter, apply to the Secretary for issuance of a MDDP.
16    (a-1) A person issued a MDDP may drive for any purpose and
17at any time, subject to the rules adopted by the Secretary
18under subsection (g). The person must, at his or her own
19expense, drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition
20interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1, but in no event

2employee must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of
3employment. If approved by the Secretary, the form must be in
4the driver's possession while operating an employer-owner
5vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device. No
6person may use this exemption to drive a school bus, school
7vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15
8passengers. No person may use this exemption to drive an
9employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is
10wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by
11a family member of the person holding the MDDP. No person may
12use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is
13made available to the employee for personal use. No person may
14drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days
15per week.
16    (a-3) Persons who are issued a MDDP and who must drive a
17farm tractor to and from a farm, within 50 air miles from the
18originating farm are exempt from installation of a BAIID on the
19farm tractor, so long as the farm tractor is being used for the
20exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations.

3offense and in which a motor vehicle was involved (for an
4arrest other than the one for which the MDDP is issued), or
5de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the
6Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.
7    (c-5) If the Secretary determines that the person seeking
8the MDDP is indigent, the Secretary shall provide the person
9with a written document as evidence of that determination, and
10the person shall provide that written document to an ignition
11interlock device provider. The provider shall install an
12ignition interlock device on that person's vehicle without
13charge to the person, and seek reimbursement from the Indigent
14BAIID Fund. If the Secretary has deemed an offender indigent,

5    subsequent violation within one year of the first violation
6    is a Class C misdemeanor. The fine imposed for a violation
7    of this paragraph (4) shall be not less than $50 if the
8    violation occurred within 60 days following the date by
9    which a new or renewal emission inspection sticker or
10    certificate was required to be obtained for the vehicle,

13    Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight.
14    (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
15jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
16under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
17application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
18special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
19vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
20vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act or
21otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
22under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and
23for the maintenance of which the party is responsible.
24Applications and permits other than those in written or printed
25form may only be accepted from and issued to the company or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1259 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1individual making the movement. Except for an application to
2move directly across a highway, it shall be the duty of the
3applicant to establish in the application that the load to be
4moved by such vehicle or combination cannot reasonably be
5dismantled or disassembled, the reasonableness of which shall
6be determined by the Secretary of the Department. For the
7purpose of over length movements, more than one object may be
8carried side by side as long as the height, width, and weight
9laws are not exceeded and the cause for the over length is not
10due to multiple objects. For the purpose of over height
11movements, more than one object may be carried as long as the
12cause for the over height is not due to multiple objects and
13the length, width, and weight laws are not exceeded. For the
14purpose of an over width movement, more than one object may be
15carried as long as the cause for the over width is not due to
16multiple objects and length, height, and weight laws are not
17exceeded. No state or local agency shall authorize the issuance
18of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and loads that
19are divisible and that can be carried, when divided, within the
20existing size or weight maximums specified in this Chapter. Any
21excess size or weight permit issued in violation of the
22provisions of this Section shall be void at issue and any
23movement made thereunder shall not be authorized under the
24terms of the void permit. In any prosecution for a violation of
25this Chapter when the authorization of an excess size or weight
26permit is at issue, it is the burden of the defendant to

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1260 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1establish that the permit was valid because the load to be
2moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or
3was otherwise nondivisible.
4    (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
5whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
6limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is an
7authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property
8Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit number
9issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3) specifically
10describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles and load to be
11operated or moved except that for vehicles or vehicle
12combinations registered by the Department as provided in
13Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois Department of
14Transportation's (IDT) registration number or classification
15need be given; (4) state the routing requested including the
16points of origin and destination, and may identify and include
17a request for routing to the nearest certified scale in
18accordance with the Department's rules and regulations,
19provided the applicant has approval to travel on local roads;
20and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being transported
21for hire. No permits for the movement of a vehicle or load for
22hire shall be issued to any applicant who is required under the
23Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law to have a certificate,
24registration or permit and does not have such certificate,
25registration or permit.
26    (c) The Department or local authority when not inconsistent

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1261 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1with traffic safety is authorized to issue or withhold such
2permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is issued at its
3discretion to prescribe the route or routes to be traveled, to
4limit the number of trips, to establish seasonal or other time
5limitations within which the vehicles described may be operated
6on the highways indicated, or otherwise to limit or prescribe
7conditions of operations of such vehicle or vehicles, when
8necessary to assure against undue damage to the road
9foundations, surfaces or structures, and may require such
10undertaking or other security as may be deemed necessary to
11compensate for any injury to any roadway or road structure. The
12Department shall maintain a daily record of each permit issued
13along with the fee and the stipulated dimensions, weights,
14conditions and restrictions authorized and this record shall be
15presumed correct in any case of questions or dispute. The
16Department shall install an automatic device for recording
17applications received and permits issued by telephone. In
18making application by telephone, the Department and applicant
19waive all objections to the recording of the conversation.
20    (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing from
21any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing the
22local authority to move oversize highway construction,

16necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
17livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
18in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.

7    Section 620. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by
8changing Sections 10-5, 21-3, 24-3, 26-1, and 26-4 and the
9heading of Article 24.6 as follows:
 
10    (720 ILCS 5/10-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 10-5)
11    Sec. 10-5. Child abduction.
12    (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have
13the following meanings:
14        (1) "Child" means a person who, at the time the alleged
15    violation occurred, was under the age of 18 or severely or
16    profoundly intellectually disabled.
17        (2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical
18    custody of a child, whether or not the child resists or
19    objects.
20        (2.1) "Express consent" means oral or written
21    permission that is positive, direct, and unequivocal,
22    requiring no inference or implication to supply its
23    meaning.
24        (2.2) "Luring" means any knowing act to solicit,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1291 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    entice, tempt, or attempt to attract the minor.
2        (3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons
3    granted legal custody of a child or entitled to physical
4    possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is
5    presumed that, when the parties have never been married to
6    each other, the mother has legal custody of the child
7    unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an
8    adjudication of paternity has been completed and the father
9    has been assigned support obligations or visitation
10    rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of
11    this Section, be considered a valid court order granting
12    custody to the mother.
13        (4) "Putative father" means a man who has a reasonable
14    belief that he is the father of a child born of a woman who
15    is not his wife.
16        (5) "Unlawful purpose" means any misdemeanor or felony
17    violation of State law or a similar federal or sister state
18    law or local ordinance.
19    (b) A person commits the offense of child abduction when he

22    order granting sole or joint custody, care, or possession
23    to another by concealing or detaining the child or removing
24    the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
25        (2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting
26    the person from concealing or detaining the child or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1292 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court.
2        (3) Intentionally conceals, detains, or removes the
3    child without the consent of the mother or lawful custodian
4    of the child if the person is a putative father and either:
5    (A) the paternity of the child has not been legally
6    established or (B) the paternity of the child has been
7    legally established but no orders relating to custody have
8    been entered. Notwithstanding the presumption created by
9    paragraph (3) of subsection (a), however, a mother commits
10    child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes
11    a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of,
12    from an unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing
13    care and custody of the child in her absence.
14        (4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from a
15    parent after filing a petition or being served with process
16    in an action affecting marriage or paternity but prior to

19        (5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside the
20    State, intentionally fails or refuses to return or impedes
21    the return of the child to the lawful custodian in

24    that child are or have been married and there has been no
25    court order of custody, knowingly conceals the child for 15
26    days, and fails to make reasonable attempts within the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1293 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    15-day period to notify the other parent as to the specific
2    whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to
3    contact the child, or to arrange reasonable visitation or
4    contact with the child. It is not a violation of this
5    Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take the
6    child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic
7    violence program.
8        (7) Being a parent of the child, and if the parents of
9    the child are or have been married and there has been no
10    court order of custody, knowingly conceals, detains, or
11    removes the child with physical force or threat of physical
12    force.

14    for payment or promise of payment at the instruction of a
15    person who has no legal right to custody.
16        (9) Knowingly retains in this State for 30 days a child
17    removed from another state without the consent of the
18    lawful custodian or in violation of a valid court order of
19    custody.

21    under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building,
22    housetrailer, or dwelling place without the consent of the
23    child's parent or lawful custodian for other than a lawful
24    purpose. For the purposes of this item (10), the trier of
25    fact may infer that luring or attempted luring of a child
26    under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1294 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    housetrailer, or dwelling place without the express
2    consent of the child's parent or lawful custodian or with
3    the intent to avoid the express consent of the child's
4    parent or lawful custodian was for other than a lawful
5    purpose.
6        (11) With the intent to obstruct or prevent efforts to
7    locate the child victim of a child abduction, knowingly
8    destroys, alters, conceals, or disguises physical evidence
9    or furnishes false information.
10    (c) It is an affirmative defense to subsections (b)(1)
11through (b)(10) of this Section that:
12        (1) the person had custody of the child pursuant to a
13    court order granting legal custody or visitation rights
14    that existed at the time of the alleged violation;
15        (2) the person had physical custody of the child
16    pursuant to a court order granting legal custody or
17    visitation rights and failed to return the child as a
18    result of circumstances beyond his or her control, and the
19    person notified and disclosed to the other parent or legal
20    custodian the specific whereabouts of the child and a means
21    by which the child could be contacted or made a reasonable
22    attempt to notify the other parent or lawful custodian of
23    the child of those circumstances and made the disclosure
24    within 24 hours after the visitation period had expired and
25    returned the child as soon as possible;
26        (3) the person was fleeing an incidence or pattern of

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1295 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    domestic violence; or
2        (4) the person lured or attempted to lure a child under
3    the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer,
4    or dwelling place for a lawful purpose in prosecutions
5    under paragraph (10) of subsection (b).
6    (d) A person convicted of child abduction under this
7Section is guilty of a Class 4 felony. A person convicted of
8child abduction under subsection (b)(10) shall undergo a sex
9offender evaluation prior to a sentence being imposed. A person
10convicted of a second or subsequent violation of paragraph (10)
11of subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 3
12felony. A person convicted of child abduction under subsection
13(b)(10) when the person has a prior conviction of a sex offense
14as defined in the Sex Offender Registration Act or any
15substantially similar federal, Uniform Code of Military
16Justice, sister state, or foreign government offense is guilty
17of a Class 2 felony. It is a factor in aggravation under
18subsections (b)(1) through (b)(10) of this Section for which a
19court may impose a more severe sentence under Section 5-8-1
20(730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter V of the Unified
21Code of Corrections if, upon sentencing, the court finds
22evidence of any of the following aggravating factors:
23        (1) that the defendant abused or neglected the child
24    following the concealment, detention, or removal of the
25    child;
26        (2) that the defendant inflicted or threatened to

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1296 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    inflict physical harm on a parent or lawful custodian of
2    the child or on the child with intent to cause that parent
3    or lawful custodian to discontinue criminal prosecution of
4    the defendant under this Section;
5        (3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange for
6    return of the child or demanded that he or she be relieved
7    of the financial or legal obligation to support the child
8    in exchange for return of the child;
9        (4) that the defendant has previously been convicted of
10    child abduction;
11        (5) that the defendant committed the abduction while
12    armed with a deadly weapon or the taking of the child
13    resulted in serious bodily injury to another; or
14        (6) that the defendant committed the abduction while in
15    a school, regardless of the time of day or time of year; in
16    a playground; on any conveyance owned, leased, or
17    contracted by a school to transport students to or from
18    school or a school related activity; on the real property
19    of a school; or on a public way within 1,000 feet of the

21    purposes of this paragraph (6), "playground" means a piece
22    of land owned or controlled by a unit of local government
23    that is designated by the unit of local government for use
24    solely or primarily for children's recreation; and

2parent or lawful custodian from whom the child was concealed,

4court may assess any reasonable expense incurred in searching
5for or returning the child against any person convicted of
6violating this Section.
7    (f) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to
8limit the court's contempt power.
9    (g) Every law enforcement officer investigating an alleged

12investigation. Every police report completed pursuant to this
13Section shall be compiled and recorded within the meaning of
14Section 5.1 of the Criminal Identification Act.
15    (h) Whenever a law enforcement officer has reasons to
16believe a child abduction has occurred, she or he shall provide

18Code, including the procedures and relief available to her or
19him.
20    (i) If during the course of an investigation under this
21Section the child is found in the physical custody of the
22defendant or another, the law enforcement officer shall return

8        (2) To the extent the court determines that its award
9    should be secured, in whole or in part, by new life
10    insurance on the payor's life, the court may only order:
11            (i) that the payor cooperate on all appropriate
12        steps for the payee to obtain such new life insurance;
13        and
14            (ii) that the payee, at his or her sole option and
15        expense, may obtain such new life insurance on the
16        payor's life up to a maximum level of death benefit
17        coverage, or descending death benefit coverage, as is
18        set by the court, such level not to exceed a reasonable
19        amount in light of the court's award, with the payee or
20        the payee's designee being the beneficiary of such life
21        insurance.
22    In determining the maximum level of death benefit coverage,
23    the court shall take into account all relevant facts and
24    circumstances, including the impact on access to life
25    insurance by the maintenance payor. If in resolving any
26    issues under paragraph (2) of this subsection (f) a court

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1480 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    reviews any submitted or proposed application for new
2    insurance on the life of a maintenance payor, the review
3    shall be in camera.
4        (3) A judgment shall expressly set forth that all death
5    benefits paid under life insurance on a payor's life
6    maintained or obtained pursuant to this subsection to
7    secure maintenance are designated as excludable from the
8    gross income of the maintenance payee under Section
9    71(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, unless an
10    agreement or stipulation of the parties otherwise
11    provides.

14    (750 ILCS 5/505)  (from Ch. 40, par. 505)
15    Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties.
16    (a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal
17separation, declaration of invalidity of marriage, a
18proceeding for child support following dissolution of the
19marriage by a court which lacked personal jurisdiction over the
20absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a previous
21order for child support under Section 510 of this Act, or any
22proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the
23court may order either or both parents owing a duty of support
24to a child of the marriage to pay an amount reasonable and
25necessary for his support, without regard to marital

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1481 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1misconduct. The duty of support owed to a child includes the
2obligation to provide for the reasonable and necessary
3physical, mental and emotional health needs of the child. For
4purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall include any
5child under age 18 and any child under age 19 who is still
6attending high school.
7        (1) The Court shall determine the minimum amount of
8    support by using the following guidelines:
9Number of ChildrenPercent of Supporting Party's
10Net Income
11120%
12228%
13332%
14440%
15545%
166 or more50%
17        (2) The above guidelines shall be applied in each case
18    unless the court makes a finding that application of the
19    guidelines would be inappropriate, after considering the
20    best interests of the child in light of evidence including
21    but not limited to one or more of the following relevant
22    factors:
23            (a) the financial resources and needs of the child;
24            (b) the financial resources and needs of the
25        custodial parent;
26            (c) the standard of living the child would have

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1482 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved;
2            (d) the physical and emotional condition of the
3        child, and his educational needs; and
4            (e) the financial resources and needs of the
5        non-custodial parent.
6        If the court deviates from the guidelines, the court's
7    finding shall state the amount of support that would have
8    been required under the guidelines, if determinable. The
9    court shall include the reason or reasons for the variance
10    from the guidelines.
11        (3) "Net income" is defined as the total of all income
12    from all sources, minus the following deductions:
13            (a) Federal income tax (properly calculated
14        withholding or estimated payments);
15            (b) State income tax (properly calculated
16        withholding or estimated payments);
17            (c) Social Security (FICA payments);
18            (d) Mandatory retirement contributions required by
19        law or as a condition of employment;
20            (e) Union dues;
21            (f) Dependent and individual
22        health/hospitalization insurance premiums and life
23        insurance premiums for life insurance ordered by the
24        court to reasonably secure child support or support
25        ordered pursuant to Section 513, any such order to
26        entail provisions on which the parties agree or,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1483 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        otherwise, in accordance with the limitations set
2        forth in subsection 504(f)(1) and (2);
3            (g) Prior obligations of support or maintenance
4        actually paid pursuant to a court order;
5            (h) Expenditures for repayment of debts that
6        represent reasonable and necessary expenses for the
7        production of income, medical expenditures necessary
8        to preserve life or health, reasonable expenditures
9        for the benefit of the child and the other parent,
10        exclusive of gifts. The court shall reduce net income
11        in determining the minimum amount of support to be
12        ordered only for the period that such payments are due
13        and shall enter an order containing provisions for its
14        self-executing modification upon termination of such
15        payment period;
16            (i) Foster care payments paid by the Department of
17        Children and Family Services for providing licensed
18        foster care to a foster child.
19        (4) In cases where the court order provides for
20    health/hospitalization insurance coverage pursuant to
21    Section 505.2 of this Act, the premiums for that insurance,
22    or that portion of the premiums for which the supporting
23    party is responsible in the case of insurance provided
24    through an employer's health insurance plan where the
25    employer pays a portion of the premiums, shall be
26    subtracted from net income in determining the minimum

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1484 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    amount of support to be ordered.
2        (4.5) In a proceeding for child support following
3    dissolution of the marriage by a court that lacked personal
4    jurisdiction over the absent spouse, and in which the court
5    is requiring payment of support for the period before the
6    date an order for current support is entered, there is a
7    rebuttable presumption that the supporting party's net
8    income for the prior period was the same as his or her net
9    income at the time the order for current support is
10    entered.
11        (5) If the net income cannot be determined because of
12    default or any other reason, the court shall order support
13    in an amount considered reasonable in the particular case.
14    The final order in all cases shall state the support level
15    in dollar amounts. However, if the court finds that the
16    child support amount cannot be expressed exclusively as a
17    dollar amount because all or a portion of the payor's net
18    income is uncertain as to source, time of payment, or
19    amount, the court may order a percentage amount of support
20    in addition to a specific dollar amount and enter such
21    other orders as may be necessary to determine and enforce,
22    on a timely basis, the applicable support ordered.
23        (6) If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served
24    with a request for discovery of financial information
25    relating to the non-custodial parent's ability to provide
26    child support, (ii) the non-custodial parent failed to

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1485 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    comply with the request, despite having been ordered to do
2    so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not
3    present at the hearing to determine support despite having
4    received proper notice, then any relevant financial
5    information concerning the non-custodial parent's ability
6    to provide child support that was obtained pursuant to
7    subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence
8    without the need to establish any further foundation for
9    its admission.
10    (a-5) In an action to enforce an order for support based on
11the respondent's failure to make support payments as required
12by the order, notice of proceedings to hold the respondent in
13contempt for that failure may be served on the respondent by
14personal service or by regular mail addressed to the
15respondent's last known address. The respondent's last known
16address may be determined from records of the clerk of the
17court, from the Federal Case Registry of Child Support Orders,
18or by any other reasonable means.
19    (b) Failure of either parent to comply with an order to pay
20support shall be punishable as in other cases of contempt. In
21addition to other penalties provided by law the Court may,
22after finding the parent guilty of contempt, order that the
23parent be:
24        (1) placed on probation with such conditions of
25    probation as the Court deems advisable;
26        (2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period not

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1486 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    to exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the Court may
2    permit the parent to be released for periods of time during
3    the day or night to:
4            (A) work; or
5            (B) conduct a business or other self-employed
6        occupation.
7    The Court may further order any part or all of the earnings
8of a parent during a sentence of periodic imprisonment paid to
9the Clerk of the Circuit Court or to the parent having custody
10or to the guardian having custody of the children of the
11sentenced parent for the support of said children until further
12order of the Court.
13    If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient to
14render no financial separation between a non-custodial parent
15and another person or persons or business entity, the court may
16pierce the ownership veil of the person, persons, or business
17entity to discover assets of the non-custodial parent held in
18the name of that person, those persons, or that business
19entity. The following circumstances are sufficient to
20authorize a court to order discovery of the assets of a person,
21persons, or business entity and to compel the application of
22any discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for
23support:
24        (1) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons,
25    or business entity maintain records together.
26        (2) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1487 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    or business entity fail to maintain an arms length
2    relationship between themselves with regard to any assets.
3        (3) the non-custodial parent transfers assets to the
4    person, persons, or business entity with the intent to
5    perpetrate a fraud on the custodial parent.
6    With respect to assets which are real property, no order
7entered under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona
8fide purchasers, mortgagees, judgment creditors, or other lien
9holders who acquire their interests in the property prior to
10the time a notice of lis pendens pursuant to the Code of Civil
11Procedure or a copy of the order is placed of record in the
12office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the
13real property is located.
14    The court may also order in cases where the parent is 90
15days or more delinquent in payment of support or has been
16adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 90 days obligation
17or more, that the parent's Illinois driving privileges be
18suspended until the court determines that the parent is in
19compliance with the order of support. The court may also order
20that the parent be issued a family financial responsibility
21driving permit that would allow limited driving privileges for
22employment and medical purposes in accordance with Section
237-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The clerk of the circuit
24court shall certify the order suspending the driving privileges
25of the parent or granting the issuance of a family financial
26responsibility driving permit to the Secretary of State on

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1488 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt of the
2authenticated documents, the Secretary of State shall suspend
3the parent's driving privileges until further order of the
4court and shall, if ordered by the court, subject to the
5provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
6issue a family financial responsibility driving permit to the
7parent.
8    In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be
9imposed under this Section, any person whose conduct
10constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the Non-Support
11Punishment Act may be prosecuted under that Act, and a person
12convicted under that Act may be sentenced in accordance with
13that Act. The sentence may include but need not be limited to a
14requirement that the person perform community service under
15Section 50 of that Act or participate in a work alternative
16program under Section 50 of that Act. A person may not be
17required to participate in a work alternative program under
18Section 50 of that Act if the person is currently participating
19in a work program pursuant to Section 505.1 of this Act.
20    A support obligation, or any portion of a support
21obligation, which becomes due and remains unpaid as of the end
22of each month, excluding the child support that was due for
23that month to the extent that it was not paid in that month,
24shall accrue simple interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of
25the Code of Civil Procedure. An order for support entered or
26modified on or after January 1, 2006 shall contain a statement

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1489 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1that a support obligation required under the order, or any
2portion of a support obligation required under the order, that
3becomes due and remains unpaid as of the end of each month,
4excluding the child support that was due for that month to the
5extent that it was not paid in that month, shall accrue simple
6interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of the Code of Civil
7Procedure. Failure to include the statement in the order for
8support does not affect the validity of the order or the
9accrual of interest as provided in this Section.
10    (c) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount
11of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has
12accrued under a support order entered by the court. The charge
13shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section
1410-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be enforced by
15the court upon petition.
16    (d) Any new or existing support order entered by the court
17under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments
18against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each
19such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or
20installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed
21entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment
22becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such
23judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of
24any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be
25enforced. Notwithstanding any other State or local law to the
26contrary, a lien arises by operation of law against the real

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1490 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each
2installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent.
3    (e) When child support is to be paid through the clerk of
4the court in a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or less, the
5order shall direct the obligor to pay to the clerk, in addition
6to the child support payments, all fees imposed by the county
7board under paragraph (3) of subsection (u) of Section 27.1 of
8the Clerks of Courts Act. Unless paid in cash or pursuant to an
9order for withholding, the payment of the fee shall be by a
10separate instrument from the support payment and shall be made
11to the order of the Clerk.
12    (f) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall
13include a provision requiring the obligor to notify the court
14and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse
15services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the
16Department of Healthcare and Family Services, within 7 days,
17(i) of the name and address of any new employer of the obligor,
18(ii) whether the obligor has access to health insurance
19coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if
20so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered
21under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing
22address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any
23subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient
24showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the
25location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or
26provision of notice necessary in the case may be made at the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1491 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1last known address of the non-custodial parent in any manner
2expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act,
3which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
4    (g) An order for support shall include a date on which the
5current support obligation terminates. The termination date
6shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by
7the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will
8not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of
918, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the
10earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation
11will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age
12of 19. The order for support shall state that the termination
13date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on
14that date. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
15prevent the court from modifying the order or terminating the
16order in the event the child is otherwise emancipated.
17    (g-5) If there is an unpaid arrearage or delinquency (as
18those terms are defined in the Income Withholding for Support
19Act) equal to at least one month's support obligation on the
20termination date stated in the order for support or, if there
21is no termination date stated in the order, on the date the
22child attains the age of majority or is otherwise emancipated,
23the periodic amount required to be paid for current support of
24that child immediately prior to that date shall automatically
25continue to be an obligation, not as current support but as
26periodic payment toward satisfaction of the unpaid arrearage or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1492 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1delinquency. That periodic payment shall be in addition to any
2periodic payment previously required for satisfaction of the
3arrearage or delinquency. The total periodic amount to be paid
4toward satisfaction of the arrearage or delinquency may be
5enforced and collected by any method provided by law for
6enforcement and collection of child support, including but not
7limited to income withholding under the Income Withholding for
8Support Act. Each order for support entered or modified on or
9after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
10General Assembly must contain a statement notifying the parties
11of the requirements of this subsection. Failure to include the
12statement in the order for support does not affect the validity
13of the order or the operation of the provisions of this
14subsection with regard to the order. This subsection shall not
15be construed to prevent or affect the establishment or
16modification of an order for support of a minor child or the
17establishment or modification of an order for support of a
18non-minor child or educational expenses under Section 513 of
19this Act.
20    (h) An order entered under this Section shall include a
21provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to
22the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains
23new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is
24terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and
25shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and
26address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1493 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1or the termination of current employment, if coupled with
2nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is
3indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for
4failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the
5amount of the child support that should have been paid during
6the period of unreported employment. An order entered under
7this Section shall also include a provision requiring the
8obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in
9residence within 5 days of the change except when the court
10finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party
11or that of a child, or both, would be seriously endangered by
12disclosure of the party's address.
13    (i) The court does not lose the powers of contempt,
14driver's license suspension, or other child support
15enforcement mechanisms, including, but not limited to,
16criminal prosecution as set forth in this Act, upon the
17emancipation of the minor child or children.

20    Section 685. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
21amended by changing Section 214 as follows:
 
22    (750 ILCS 60/214)  (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
23    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
24    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1494 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1has been abused by a family or household member or that
2petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
3or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
4prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
5provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
6one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on
7emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
8on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
9protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
10court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
11protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
12on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
13prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
14Act.
15    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
16an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
17this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
18Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
19and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
20subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
21remedies available to petitioner.
22        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
23    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
24    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
25    abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
26    defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1495 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, if
2    such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
3    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
4    prohibited.
5        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
6    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
7    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
8    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
9    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
10    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
11    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
12    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
13    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
14            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
15        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
16        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
17        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
18        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
19        person or entity other than the opposing party that
20        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
21        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
22        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
23            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
24        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
25        residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
26        hardships to respondent and any minor child or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1496 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
2        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
3        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
4        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
5        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
6        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
7        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
8        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
9        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
10        the accessibility of the residence or household.
11        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
12        have a right to occupancy.
13            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
14        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
15        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
16        that the hardships to respondent substantially
17        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
18        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
19        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
20        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
21        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
22        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
23        household.
24        (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
25    respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
26    protected by the order of protection, or prohibit

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1497 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    respondent from entering or remaining present at
2    petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
3    specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
4    both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
5    Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
6    stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
7    right to enter the premises.
8            (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
9        exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
10        respondent from entering the residence, or orders
11        respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
12        protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
13        access to the residence to remove items of clothing and
14        personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
15        medications, and other items as the court directs. The
16        right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion
17        as the court directs and in the presence of an
18        agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
19        officer.
20            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
21        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
22        middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order
23        of protection and providing relief shall consider the
24        severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
25        emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational
26        rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1498 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        under federal and State law, the availability of a
2        transfer of the respondent to another school, a change
3        of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
4        the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption
5        that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
6        another school, and any other relevant facts of the
7        case. The court may order that the respondent not
8        attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,
9        middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
10        order that the respondent accept a change of placement
11        or change of program, as determined by the school
12        district or private or non-public school, or place
13        restrictions on the respondent's movements within the
14        school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
15        bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
16        evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or
17        change of program of the respondent is not available.
18        The respondent also bears the burden of production with
19        respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
20        disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
21        respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
22        placement, or change of program is not unavailable to
23        the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent
24        does not agree with the school district's or private or
25        non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
26        change of program or solely on the ground that the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1499 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
2        does not take an action required to effectuate a
3        transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
4        When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
5        public, private, or non-public school attended by the
6        petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
7        another attendance center within the respondent's
8        school district or private or non-public school, the
9        school district or private or non-public school shall
10        have sole discretion to determine the attendance
11        center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
12        event the court order results in a transfer of the
13        minor respondent to another attendance center, a
14        change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
15        the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
16        legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
17        transportation and other costs associated with the
18        transfer or change.
19            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
20        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
21        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
22        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. The
23        court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
24        custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions
25        or to refrain from taking certain actions to ensure
26        that the respondent complies with the order. In the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1500 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        event the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
2        another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
3        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
4        transportation and other costs associated with the
5        change of school by the respondent.
6        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
7    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
8    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
9    family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
10    mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
11    services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
12    abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
13    appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any
14    intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
15    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
16    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
17    all recommended treatment.
18        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
19    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
20    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
21    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
22    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
23    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
24    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
25    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
26    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1501 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    in loco parentis.
2        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
3    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
4    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
5    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
6    minor child's best interest.
7        (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
8    custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
9    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the
10    Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform
11    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
12        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
13    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
14    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
15    awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be
16    in the child's best interest.
17        (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
18    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
19    physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
20    to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
21    respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court
22    finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of
23    the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
24    visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
25    abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
26    household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1502 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
2    in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
3    not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
4    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
5    If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
6    dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
7    specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
8    order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
9    "reasonable visitation".
10        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
11    child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
12    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
13    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
14    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
15    a violent or abusive manner.
16        If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
17    family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
18    prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
19    the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall
20    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
21    alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be
22    approved to supervise visitation only after filing an
23    affidavit accepting that responsibility and acknowledging
24    accountability to the court.
25        (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
26    respondent from removing a minor child from the State or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1503 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    concealing the child within the State.
2        (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
3    court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
4    neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
5    child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
6    any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or
7    the respondent.
8        (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
9    exclusive possession of personal property and, if
10    respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
11    promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
12            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
13        property; or
14            (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
15        it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
16        impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
17        temporary possession by petitioner.
18        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
19    is that it is marital property, the court may award
20    petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
21    standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
22    proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
23    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
24    hereafter amended.
25        No order under this provision shall affect title to
26    property.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1504 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
2    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
3    damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
4    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
5            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
6        property; or
7            (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
8        balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
9        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
10    is that it is marital property, the court may grant
11    petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
12    paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
13    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
14    now or hereafter amended.
15        The court may further prohibit respondent from
16    improperly using the financial or other resources of an
17    aged member of the family or household for the profit or
18    advantage of respondent or of any other person.
19        (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
20    exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
21    possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
22    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
23    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
24    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
25    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
26    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1505 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    otherwise disposing of the animal.
2        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
3    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
4    the petitioner's care or custody, when the respondent has a
5    legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with
6    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
7    which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
8    support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
9    income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
10    granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or
11    custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
12    care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
13    custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
14    valid order granting legal custody to another, unless
15    otherwise provided in the custody order.
16        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
17    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
18    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
19    include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
20    earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
21    property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
22    court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
23    additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
24    restaurant meals.
25            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
26        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1506 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        property distribution from the other party under the
2        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
3        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
4        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
5        the extent that such reimbursement would be
6        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
7        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
8            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
9        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
10        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
11        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
12        and recovery of the minor child, including but not
13        limited to legal fees, court costs, private
14        investigator fees, and travel costs.
15        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
16    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
17    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
18    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
19    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
20        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
21            (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
22        protection was issued from possessing any firearms
23        during the duration of the order if the order:
24                (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
25            person received actual notice, and at which such
26            person had an opportunity to participate;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1507 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1                (2) restrains such person from harassing,
2            stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
3            such person or child of such intimate partner or
4            person, or engaging in other conduct that would
5            place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
6            bodily injury to the partner or child; and
7                (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
8            represents a credible threat to the physical
9            safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
10            by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
11            attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
12            against such intimate partner or child that would
13            reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
14        Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
15        possession of the respondent, except as provided in
16        subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
17        turned over to the local law enforcement agency for
18        safekeeping. The court shall issue a warrant for
19        seizure of any firearm and Firearm Owner's
20        Identification Card in the possession of the
21        respondent, to be kept by the local law enforcement
22        agency for safekeeping, except as provided in
23        subsection (b). The period of safekeeping shall be for
24        the duration of the order of protection. The firearm or
25        firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall
26        be returned to the respondent at the end of the order

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1508 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        of protection.
2            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
3        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 1961, the court
4        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
5        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
6        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
7        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
8        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
9        duration of the order of protection.
10            (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
11        if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
12        cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
13        cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
14        retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
15        possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
16        enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
17        enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
18        firearms for training purposes, or for any other
19        application as deemed appropriate by the local law
20        enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
21        to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
22        firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
23        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
24    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
25    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
26    under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1509 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
2    child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
3    prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
4    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
5    records of the minor child who is in the care of
6    petitioner.
7        (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
8    respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
9    housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
10    cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
11    deemed reasonable by the court.
12        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
13    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
14    a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
15    exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to
16    effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
17    balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
18    injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
19    remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
20    subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
21    necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
22    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
23        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
24    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
25    relevant factors, including but not limited to the
26    following:

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1510 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
2        consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
3        or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
4        household member, including the concealment of his or
5        her location in order to evade service of process or
6        notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
7        neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
8        petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
9            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
10        or neglected or improperly removed from the
11        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
12        improperly separated from the child's primary
13        caretaker.
14        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
15    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
16    court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
17    limited to the following:
18            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
19        adequacy, location and other characteristics of
20        alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
21        dependent adult in the party's care;
22            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
23            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
24        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
25        care, to family, school, church and community.
26        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1511 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
2    in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
3    set forth the following:
4            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
5        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
6        this subsection.
7            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
8        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
9        or continued abuse.
10            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
11        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
12        other alleged abused persons.
13        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
14    of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
15    supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
16    (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
17    the following procedure:
18        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
19    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
20    203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
21    examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
22    order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
23    appears from the contents of the petition and the
24    examination of petitioner that the averments are
25    sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
26    the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1512 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    order of protection.
2        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
3    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
4    attach to a putative father until a father and child
5    relationship has been established under the Illinois
6    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Public Aid Code,
7    Section 12 of the Vital Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act
8    of 1987, the Probate Act of 1985, the Revised Uniform
9    Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, the Uniform
10    Interstate Family Support Act, the Expedited Child Support
11    Act of 1990, any judicial, administrative, or other act of
12    another state or territory, any other Illinois statute, or
13    by any foreign nation establishing the father and child
14    relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
15    conformity with the Personal Responsibility and Work
16    Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193),
17    or where both parties appeared in open court or at an
18    administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
19    admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
20    child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
21    or acknowledgement, no putative father shall be granted
22    temporary custody of the minor child, visitation with the
23    minor child, or physical care and possession of the minor
24    child, nor shall an order of payment for support of the
25    minor child be entered.
26    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1513 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
2remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
3subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
4balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
5include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
6in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
7hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
8shall be an official record or in writing.
9    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
10based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
11        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
12    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
13    force provided by Article VII of the Criminal Code of 1961;
14        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
15        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
16    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
17    force was justifiable under Article VII of the Criminal
18    Code of 1961;
19        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
20    of another;
21        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
22    further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
23        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
24    to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
25    respondent;
26        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1514 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
2    that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
3    or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
4    household members.

12    of directors or by a majority vote of the unit owners at a
13    meeting called for that purpose, unless the Act or the
14    declaration of the master association specifically
15    provides for greater percentages or different procedures.
16        (2) If, through a scrivener's error, a unit has not
17    been designated as owning an appropriate undivided share of
18    the common areas or does not bear an appropriate share of
19    the common expenses, or if all of the common expenses or
20    all of the common elements in the condominium have not been
21    distributed in the declaration, so that the sum total of
22    the shares of common areas which have been distributed or

1    amendment to the declaration, approved by vote of
2    two-thirds of the members of the board of directors or a
3    majority vote of the unit owners at a meeting called for
4    that purpose, which proportionately adjusts all percentage
5    interests so that the total is equal to 100%, unless the
6    declaration specifically provides for a different
7    procedure or different percentage vote by the owners of the
8    units and the owners of mortgages thereon affected by
9    modification being made in the undivided interest in the
10    common areas, the number of votes in the unit owners
11    association or the liability for common expenses
12    appertaining to the unit.
13        (3) If an omission or error or a scrivener's error in
14    the declaration or other instrument is corrected by vote of
15    two-thirds of the members of the board of directors
16    pursuant to the authority established in subdivisions
17    (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this Section, the board, upon written

20    or board of directors of the condominium and common

1    directors of the master association within 30 days of the
2    filing of the petition or receipt of the condominium and
3    common interest community association resolution to
4    consider the board action. Unless a majority of the votes
5    of the unit owners of the association are cast at the
6    meeting to reject the action, or board of managers or board
7    of directors of condominium and common interest community
8    associations which select over 50% of the members of the
9    board of the master association adopt resolutions prior to
10    the meeting rejecting the action of the board of directors
11    of the master association, it is ratified whether or not a
12    quorum is present.
13        (4) The procedures for amendments set forth in this
14    subsection (h) cannot be used if such an amendment would

16    owners unless the affected unit owners consent in writing.
17    This Section does not restrict the powers of the
18    association to otherwise amend the declaration, bylaws, or
19    other condominium instruments, but authorizes a simple
20    process of amendment requiring a lesser vote for the
21    purpose of correcting defects, errors, or omissions when
22    the property rights of the unit owners are not materially
23    or adversely affected.
24        (5) If there is an omission or error in the declaration
25    or other instruments that may not be corrected by an
26    amendment procedure set forth in subdivision (h)(1) or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1536 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (h)(2) of this Section, then the circuit court in the
2    county in which the master association is located shall
3    have jurisdiction to hear a petition of one or more of the
4    unit owners thereon or of the association, to correct the
5    error or omission, and the action may be a class action.
6    The court may require that one or more methods of
7    correcting the error or omission be submitted to the unit
8    owners to determine the most acceptable correction. All
9    unit owners in the association must be joined as parties to
10    the action. Service of process on owners may be by
11    publication, but the plaintiff shall furnish all unit
12    owners not personally served with process with copies of
13    the petition and final judgment of the court by certified
14    mail, return receipt requested, at their last known
15    address.
16        (6) Nothing contained in this Section shall be
17    construed to invalidate any provision of a declaration
18    authorizing the developer to amend an instrument prior to
19    the latest date on which the initial membership meeting of
20    the unit owners must be held, whether or not it has
21    actually been held, to bring the instrument into compliance
22    with the legal requirements of the Federal National
23    Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
24    Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration, the

3    sender in the funds transfer which resulted in the issuance
4    of a payment order (i) that is a duplicate of a payment
5    order previously issued by the sender, (ii) that orders
6    payment to a beneficiary not entitled to receive payment
7    from the originator, or (iii) that orders payment in an
8    amount greater than that the amount the beneficiary was
9    entitled to receive from the originator. If the payment

19accepted payment order is canceled, the acceptance is nullified
20and no person has any right or obligation based on the

5cancellation or amendment is effective, is liable to the bank
6for any loss and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
7fees, incurred by the bank as a result of the cancellation or
8amendment or attempted cancellation or amendment.
9    (g) A payment order is not revoked by the death or legal
10incapacity of the sender unless the receiving bank knows of the
11death or of an adjudication of incapacity by a court of
12competent jurisdiction and has reasonable opportunity to act
13before acceptance of the order.
14    (h) A funds transfer system rule is not effective to the

8    (b) If the parties described in each paragraph of
9subsection (a) have made an agreement selecting the law of a
10particular jurisdiction to govern rights and obligations
11between each other, the law of that jurisdiction governs those
12rights and obligations, whether or not the payment order or the
13funds transfer bears a reasonable relation to that
14jurisdiction.
15    (c) A funds transfer system rule may select the law of a
16particular jurisdiction to govern (i) rights and obligations
17between participating banks with respect to payment orders
18transmitted or processed through the system, or (ii) the rights
19and obligations of some or all parties to a funds transfer any
20part of which is carried out by means of the system. A choice
21of law made pursuant to clause (i) is binding on participating
22banks. A choice of law made pursuant to clause (ii) is binding
23on the originator, other sender, or a receiving bank having
24notice that the funds transfer system might be used in the
25funds transfer and of the choice of law by the system when the
26originator, other sender, or receiving bank issued or accepted

2by the choice of law if, when the funds transfer is initiated,
3the beneficiary has notice that the funds transfer system might
4be used in the funds transfer and of the choice of law by the

6subsection may govern, whether or not that law bears a
7reasonable relation to the matter in issue.
8    (d) In the event of inconsistency between an agreement
9under subsection (b) and a choice of law rule under subsection
10(c), the agreement under subsection (b) prevails.
11    (e) If a funds transfer is made by use of more than that
12one funds transfer system and there is inconsistency between
13choice of law rules of the systems, the matter in issue is
14governed by the law of the selected jurisdiction that has the
15most significant relationship to the matter in issue.

SB3798 Enrolled- 1579 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1payment to the provider on behalf of the employee. The employer

17employer shall post this list in a place or places easily
18accessible to his employees. The employee shall have the right
19to make an alternative choice of physician from such Panel if
20he is not satisfied with the physician first selected. If, due
21to the nature of the injury or its occurrence away from the
22employer's place of business, the employee is unable to make a
23selection from the Panel, the selection process from the Panel
24shall not apply. The physician selected from the Panel may
25arrange for any consultation, referral or other specialized
26medical services outside the Panel at the employer's expense.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1580 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1Provided that, in the event the Commission shall find that a
2doctor selected by the employee is rendering improper or
3inadequate care, the Commission may order the employee to
4select another doctor certified or qualified in the medical
5field for which treatment is required. If the employee refuses
6to make such change the Commission may relieve the employer of
7his obligation to pay the doctor's charges from the date of
8refusal to the date of compliance.
9    Any vocational rehabilitation counselors who provide
10service under this Act shall have appropriate certifications

19dispute, including payment of the vocational rehabilitation
20program by the employer.
21    The maintenance benefit shall not be less than the

26basis or full-time basis and earns less than he or she would be

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1581 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1earning if employed in the full capacity of the job or jobs,
2then the employee shall be entitled to temporary partial
3disability benefits. Temporary partial disability benefits
4shall be equal to two-thirds of the difference between the
5average amount that the employee would be able to earn in the
6full performance of his or her duties in the occupation in
7which he or she was engaged at the time of accident and the
8gross amount which he or she is earning in the modified job
9provided to the employee by the employer or in any other job
10that the employee is working.
11    Every hospital, physician, surgeon or other person
12rendering treatment or services in accordance with the
13provisions of this Section shall upon written request furnish
14full and complete reports thereof to, and permit their records
15to be copied by, the employer, the employee or his dependents,
16as the case may be, or any other party to any proceeding for
17compensation before the Commission, or their attorneys.
18    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the employer's liability to
19pay for such medical services selected by the employee shall be
20limited to:
21        (1) all first aid and emergency treatment; plus
22        (2) all medical, surgical and hospital services
23    provided by the physician, surgeon or hospital initially
24    chosen by the employee or by any other physician,
25    consultant, expert, institution or other provider of
26    services recommended by said initial service provider or

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1582 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    any subsequent provider of medical services in the chain of
2    referrals from said initial service provider; plus
3         (3) all medical, surgical and hospital services
4    provided by any second physician, surgeon or hospital
5    subsequently chosen by the employee or by any other
6    physician, consultant, expert, institution or other
7    provider of services recommended by said second service
8    provider or any subsequent provider of medical services in
9    the chain of referrals from said second service provider.
10    Thereafter the employer shall select and pay for all
11    necessary medical, surgical and hospital treatment and the
12    employee may not select a provider of medical services at
13    the employer's expense unless the employer agrees to such
14    selection. At any time the employee may obtain any medical
15    treatment he desires at his own expense. This paragraph
16    shall not affect the duty to pay for rehabilitation
17    referred to above.
18        (4) The following shall apply for injuries occurring on
19    or after June 28, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
20    97-18) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly and
21    only when an employer has an approved preferred provider
22    program pursuant to Section 8.1a on the date the employee
23    sustained his or her accidental injuries:
24            (A) The employer shall, in writing, on a form
25        promulgated by the Commission, inform the employee of
26        the preferred provider program;

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1583 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1            (B) Subsequent to the report of an injury by an
2        employee, the employee may choose in writing at any
3        time to decline the preferred provider program, in
4        which case that would constitute one of the two choices
5        of medical providers to which the employee is entitled
6        under subsection (a)(2) or (a)(3); and
7            (C) Prior to the report of an injury by an
8        employee, when an employee chooses non-emergency
9        treatment from a provider not within the preferred
10        provider program, that would constitute the employee's
11        one choice of medical providers to which the employee
12        is entitled under subsection (a)(2) or (a)(3).
13    When an employer and employee so agree in writing, nothing
14in this Act prevents an employee whose injury or disability has
15been established under this Act, from relying in good faith, on
16treatment by prayer or spiritual means alone, in accordance
17with the tenets and practice of a recognized church or
18religious denomination, by a duly accredited practitioner
19thereof, and having nursing services appropriate therewith,
20without suffering loss or diminution of the compensation
21benefits under this Act. However, the employee shall submit to
22all physical examinations required by this Act. The cost of
23such treatment and nursing care shall be paid by the employee
24unless the employer agrees to make such payment.
25    Where the accidental injury results in the amputation of an
26arm, hand, leg or foot, or the enucleation of an eye, or the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1584 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1loss of any of the natural teeth, the employer shall furnish an
2artificial of any such members lost or damaged in accidental
3injury arising out of and in the course of employment, and
4shall also furnish the necessary braces in all proper and
5necessary cases. In cases of the loss of a member or members by
6amputation, the employer shall, whenever necessary, maintain
7in good repair, refit or replace the artificial limbs during
8the lifetime of the employee. Where the accidental injury
9accompanied by physical injury results in damage to a denture,
10eye glasses or contact eye lenses, or where the accidental
11injury results in damage to an artificial member, the employer
12shall replace or repair such denture, glasses, lenses, or
13artificial member.
14    The furnishing by the employer of any such services or
15appliances is not an admission of liability on the part of the
16employer to pay compensation.
17    The furnishing of any such services or appliances or the
18servicing thereof by the employer is not the payment of
19compensation.
20    (b) If the period of temporary total incapacity for work
21lasts more than 3 working days, weekly compensation as
22hereinafter provided shall be paid beginning on the 4th day of
23such temporary total incapacity and continuing as long as the
24total temporary incapacity lasts. In cases where the temporary
25total incapacity for work continues for a period of 14 days or
26more from the day of the accident compensation shall commence

5        16. For the permanent partial loss of use of a member
6    or sight of an eye, or hearing of an ear, compensation
7    during that proportion of the number of weeks in the

10    loss of use thereof bears to the total loss of use of such
11    member, or sight of eye, or hearing of an ear.
12            (a) Loss of hearing for compensation purposes
13        shall be confined to the frequencies of 1,000, 2,000
14        and 3,000 cycles per second. Loss of hearing ability
15        for frequency tones above 3,000 cycles per second are

22        the frequencies of 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 cycles per
23        second. Pure tone air conduction audiometric
24        instruments, approved by nationally recognized

SB3798 Enrolled- 1601 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1        decibels or less in the 3 frequencies, such losses of
2        hearing shall not then constitute any compensable
3        hearing disability. If the losses of hearing average 85
4        decibels or more in the 3 frequencies, then the same
5        shall constitute and be total or 100% compensable
6        hearing loss.
7            (c) In measuring hearing impairment, the lowest
8        measured losses in each of the 3 frequencies shall be

13        decibels.
14            (d) If a hearing loss is established to have

18    resulting in the loss by amputation or partial loss by

21    of any such member shall be deducted from any award made
22    for the subsequent injury. For the permanent loss of use or
23    the permanent partial loss of use of any such member or the
24    partial loss of sight of an eye, for which compensation has
25    been paid, then such loss shall be taken into consideration

3    thereof, or the permanent and complete loss of the use
4    thereof, constitutes total and permanent disability, to be
5    compensated according to the compensation fixed by
6    paragraph (f) of this Section. These specific cases of
7    total and permanent disability do not exclude other cases.
8        Any employee who has previously suffered the loss or
9    permanent and complete loss of the use of any of such
10    members, and in a subsequent independent accident loses
11    another or suffers the permanent and complete loss of the
12    use of any one of such members the employer for whom the
13    injured employee is working at the time of the last
14    independent accident is liable to pay compensation only for
15    the loss or permanent and complete loss of the use of the
16    member occasioned by the last independent accident.
17        19. In a case of specific loss and the subsequent death
18    of such injured employee from other causes than such injury
19    leaving a widow, widower, or dependents surviving before
20    payment or payment in full for such injury, then the amount
21    due for such injury is payable to the widow or widower and,
22    if there be no widow or widower, then to such dependents,
23    in the proportion which such dependency bears to total
24    dependency.
25    Beginning July 1, 1980, and every 6 months thereafter, the
26Commission shall examine the Second Injury Fund and when, after

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1604 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1deducting all advances or loans made to such Fund, the amount
2therein is $500,000 then the amount required to be paid by
3employers pursuant to paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall be
4reduced by one-half. When the Second Injury Fund reaches the
5sum of $600,000 then the payments shall cease entirely.
6However, when the Second Injury Fund has been reduced to
7$400,000, payment of one-half of the amounts required by
8paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall be resumed, in the manner
9herein provided, and when the Second Injury Fund has been
10reduced to $300,000, payment of the full amounts required by
11paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall be resumed, in the manner
12herein provided. The Commission shall make the changes in
13payment effective by general order, and the changes in payment
14become immediately effective for all cases coming before the
15Commission thereafter either by settlement agreement or final
16order, irrespective of the date of the accidental injury.
17    On August 1, 1996 and on February 1 and August 1 of each
18subsequent year, the Commission shall examine the special fund
19designated as the "Rate Adjustment Fund" and when, after
20deducting all advances or loans made to said fund, the amount
21therein is $4,000,000, the amount required to be paid by
22employers pursuant to paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall be
23reduced by one-half. When the Rate Adjustment Fund reaches the
24sum of $5,000,000 the payment therein shall cease entirely.
25However, when said Rate Adjustment Fund has been reduced to
26$3,000,000 the amounts required by paragraph (f) of Section 7

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1605 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1shall be resumed in the manner herein provided.
2    (f) In case of complete disability, which renders the
3employee wholly and permanently incapable of work, or in the
4specific case of total and permanent disability as provided in
5subparagraph 18 of paragraph (e) of this Section, compensation
6shall be payable at the rate provided in subparagraph 2 of
7paragraph (b) of this Section for life.
8    An employee entitled to benefits under paragraph (f) of
9this Section shall also be entitled to receive from the Rate
10Adjustment Fund provided in paragraph (f) of Section 7 of the
11supplementary benefits provided in paragraph (g) of this
12Section 8.
13    If any employee who receives an award under this paragraph
14afterwards returns to work or is able to do so, and earns or is
15able to earn as much as before the accident, payments under
16such award shall cease. If such employee returns to work, or is
17able to do so, and earns or is able to earn part but not as much
18as before the accident, such award shall be modified so as to
19conform to an award under paragraph (d) of this Section. If
20such award is terminated or reduced under the provisions of
21this paragraph, such employees have the right at any time
22within 30 months after the date of such termination or
23reduction to file petition with the Commission for the purpose
24of determining whether any disability exists as a result of the
25original accidental injury and the extent thereof.
26    Disability as enumerated in subdivision 18, paragraph (e)

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1606 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1of this Section is considered complete disability.
2    If an employee who had previously incurred loss or the
3permanent and complete loss of use of one member, through the
4loss or the permanent and complete loss of the use of one hand,
5one arm, one foot, one leg, or one eye, incurs permanent and
6complete disability through the loss or the permanent and
7complete loss of the use of another member, he shall receive,
8in addition to the compensation payable by the employer and
9after such payments have ceased, an amount from the Second
10Injury Fund provided for in paragraph (f) of Section 7, which,
11together with the compensation payable from the employer in
12whose employ he was when the last accidental injury was
13incurred, will equal the amount payable for permanent and
14complete disability as provided in this paragraph of this
15Section.
16    The custodian of the Second Injury Fund provided for in
17paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall be joined with the employer as
18a party respondent in the application for adjustment of claim.
19The application for adjustment of claim shall state briefly and
20in general terms the approximate time and place and manner of
21the loss of the first member.
22    In its award the Commission or the Arbitrator shall
23specifically find the amount the injured employee shall be
24weekly paid, the number of weeks compensation which shall be
25paid by the employer, the date upon which payments begin out of
26the Second Injury Fund provided for in paragraph (f) of Section

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1607 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

17 of this Act, the length of time the weekly payments continue,
2the date upon which the pension payments commence and the
3monthly amount of the payments. The Commission shall 30 days
4after the date upon which payments out of the Second Injury
5Fund have begun as provided in the award, and every month
6thereafter, prepare and submit to the State Comptroller a
7voucher for payment for all compensation accrued to that date
8at the rate fixed by the Commission. The State Comptroller
9shall draw a warrant to the injured employee along with a
10receipt to be executed by the injured employee and returned to
11the Commission. The endorsed warrant and receipt is a full and
12complete acquittance to the Commission for the payment out of
13the Second Injury Fund. No other appropriation or warrant is
14necessary for payment out of the Second Injury Fund. The Second
15Injury Fund is appropriated for the purpose of making payments
16according to the terms of the awards.
17    As of July 1, 1980 to July 1, 1982, all claims against and
18obligations of the Second Injury Fund shall become claims
19against and obligations of the Rate Adjustment Fund to the
20extent there is insufficient money in the Second Injury Fund to
21pay such claims and obligations. In that case, all references
22to "Second Injury Fund" in this Section shall also include the
23Rate Adjustment Fund.
24    (g) Every award for permanent total disability entered by
25the Commission on and after July 1, 1965 under which
26compensation payments shall become due and payable after the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1608 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1effective date of this amendatory Act, and every award for
2death benefits or permanent total disability entered by the
3Commission on and after the effective date of this amendatory
4Act shall be subject to annual adjustments as to the amount of
5the compensation rate therein provided. Such adjustments shall
6first be made on July 15, 1977, and all awards made and entered
7prior to July 1, 1975 and on July 15 of each year thereafter.
8In all other cases such adjustment shall be made on July 15 of
9the second year next following the date of the entry of the
10award and shall further be made on July 15 annually thereafter.
11If during the intervening period from the date of the entry of
12the award, or the last periodic adjustment, there shall have
13been an increase in the State's average weekly wage in covered
14industries under the Unemployment Insurance Act, the weekly
15compensation rate shall be proportionately increased by the
16same percentage as the percentage of increase in the State's
17average weekly wage in covered industries under the
18Unemployment Insurance Act. The increase in the compensation
19rate under this paragraph shall in no event bring the total
20compensation rate to an amount greater than the prevailing
21maximum rate at the time that the annual adjustment is made.
22Such increase shall be paid in the same manner as herein
23provided for payments under the Second Injury Fund to the
24injured employee, or his dependents, as the case may be, out of
25the Rate Adjustment Fund provided in paragraph (f) of Section 7
26of this Act. Payments shall be made at the same intervals as

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1609 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1provided in the award or, at the option of the Commission, may
2be made in quarterly payment on the 15th day of January, April,
3July and October of each year. In the event of a decrease in
4such average weekly wage there shall be no change in the then
5existing compensation rate. The within paragraph shall not
6apply to cases where there is disputed liability and in which a
7compromise lump sum settlement between the employer and the
8injured employee, or his dependents, as the case may be, has
9been duly approved by the Illinois Workers' Compensation
10Commission.
11    Provided, that in cases of awards entered by the Commission
12for injuries occurring before July 1, 1975, the increases in
13the compensation rate adjusted under the foregoing provision of
14this paragraph (g) shall be limited to increases in the State's
15average weekly wage in covered industries under the
16Unemployment Insurance Act occurring after July 1, 1975.
17    For every accident occurring on or after July 20, 2005 but
18before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th
19General Assembly (Senate Bill 1283 of the 94th General
20Assembly), the annual adjustments to the compensation rate in
21awards for death benefits or permanent total disability, as
22provided in this Act, shall be paid by the employer. The
23adjustment shall be made by the employer on July 15 of the
24second year next following the date of the entry of the award
25and shall further be made on July 15 annually thereafter. If
26during the intervening period from the date of the entry of the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1610 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1award, or the last periodic adjustment, there shall have been
2an increase in the State's average weekly wage in covered
3industries under the Unemployment Insurance Act, the employer
4shall increase the weekly compensation rate proportionately by
5the same percentage as the percentage of increase in the
6State's average weekly wage in covered industries under the
7Unemployment Insurance Act. The increase in the compensation
8rate under this paragraph shall in no event bring the total
9compensation rate to an amount greater than the prevailing
10maximum rate at the time that the annual adjustment is made. In
11the event of a decrease in such average weekly wage there shall
12be no change in the then existing compensation rate. Such
13increase shall be paid by the employer in the same manner and
14at the same intervals as the payment of compensation in the
15award. This paragraph shall not apply to cases where there is
16disputed liability and in which a compromise lump sum
17settlement between the employer and the injured employee, or
18his or her dependents, as the case may be, has been duly
19approved by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
20    The annual adjustments for every award of death benefits or
21permanent total disability involving accidents occurring
22before July 20, 2005 and accidents occurring on or after the
23effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General
24Assembly (Senate Bill 1283 of the 94th General Assembly) shall
25continue to be paid from the Rate Adjustment Fund pursuant to
26this paragraph and Section 7(f) of this Act.

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1611 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1    (h) In case death occurs from any cause before the total
2compensation to which the employee would have been entitled has
3been paid, then in case the employee leaves any widow, widower,
4child, parent (or any grandchild, grandparent or other lineal
5heir or any collateral heir dependent at the time of the
6accident upon the earnings of the employee to the extent of 50%
7or more of total dependency) such compensation shall be paid to
8the beneficiaries of the deceased employee and distributed as
9provided in paragraph (g) of Section 7.
10    (h-1) In case an injured employee is under legal disability
11at the time when any right or privilege accrues to him or her
12under this Act, a guardian may be appointed pursuant to law,
13and may, on behalf of such person under legal disability, claim
14and exercise any such right or privilege with the same effect
15as if the employee himself or herself had claimed or exercised
16the right or privilege. No limitations of time provided by this
17Act run so long as the employee who is under legal disability
18is without a conservator or guardian.
19    (i) In case the injured employee is under 16 years of age
20at the time of the accident and is illegally employed, the
21amount of compensation payable under paragraphs (b), (c), (d),
22(e) and (f) of this Section is increased 50%.
23    However, where an employer has on file an employment
24certificate issued pursuant to the Child Labor Law or work
25permit issued pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act,
26as amended, or a birth certificate properly and duly issued,

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1612 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1such certificate, permit or birth certificate is conclusive
2evidence as to the age of the injured minor employee for the
3purposes of this Section.
4    Nothing herein contained repeals or amends the provisions
5of the Child Labor Law relating to the employment of minors
6under the age of 16 years.
7    (j) 1. In the event the injured employee receives benefits,
8including medical, surgical or hospital benefits under any
9group plan covering non-occupational disabilities contributed
10to wholly or partially by the employer, which benefits should
11not have been payable if any rights of recovery existed under
12this Act, then such amounts so paid to the employee from any
13such group plan as shall be consistent with, and limited to,
14the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, shall be credited to or
15against any compensation payment for temporary total
16incapacity for work or any medical, surgical or hospital
17benefits made or to be made under this Act. In such event, the
18period of time for giving notice of accidental injury and
19filing application for adjustment of claim does not commence to
20run until the termination of such payments. This paragraph does
21not apply to payments made under any group plan which would
22have been payable irrespective of an accidental injury under
23this Act. Any employer receiving such credit shall keep such
24employee safe and harmless from any and all claims or
25liabilities that may be made against him by reason of having
26received such payments only to the extent of such credit.

1    Any excess benefits paid to or on behalf of a State
2employee by the State Employees' Retirement System under
3Article 14 of the Illinois Pension Code on a death claim or
4disputed disability claim shall be credited against any
5payments made or to be made by the State of Illinois to or on
6behalf of such employee under this Act, except for payments for
7medical expenses which have already been incurred at the time
8of the award. The State of Illinois shall directly reimburse
9the State Employees' Retirement System to the extent of such
10credit.
11    2. Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to give
12the employer or the insurance carrier the right to credit for
13any benefits or payments received by the employee other than
14compensation payments provided by this Act, and where the
15employee receives payments other than compensation payments,
16whether as full or partial salary, group insurance benefits,
17bonuses, annuities or any other payments, the employer or
18insurance carrier shall receive credit for each such payment
19only to the extent of the compensation that would have been
20payable during the period covered by such payment.
21    3. The extension of time for the filing of an Application
22for Adjustment of Claim as provided in paragraph 1 above shall
23not apply to those cases where the time for such filing had
24expired prior to the date on which payments or benefits
25enumerated herein have been initiated or resumed. Provided
26however that this paragraph 3 shall apply only to cases wherein

6    Sec. 11. The compensation herein provided, together with
7the provisions of this Act, shall be the measure of the
8responsibility of any employer engaged in any of the
9enterprises or businesses enumerated in Section 3 of this Act,
10or of any employer who is not engaged in any such enterprises
11or businesses, but who has elected to provide and pay
12compensation for accidental injuries sustained by any employee
13arising out of and in the course of the employment according to
14the provisions of this Act, and whose election to continue
15under this Act, has not been nullified by any action of his
16employees as provided for in this Act.
17    Accidental injuries incurred while participating in
18voluntary recreational programs including but not limited to
19athletic events, parties and picnics do not arise out of and in
20the course of the employment even though the employer pays some
21or all of the cost thereof. This exclusion shall not apply in
22the event that the injured employee was ordered or assigned by
23his employer to participate in the program.
24    Notwithstanding any other defense, accidental injuries

3alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
4compounds, or any combination thereof, or (c) reckless homicide
5and for which the employee was convicted do not arise out of
6and in the course of employment if the commission of that
7forcible felony, aggravated driving under the influence, or
8reckless homicide caused an accident resulting in the death or
9severe injury of another person. If an employee is acquitted of
10a forcible felony, aggravated driving under the influence, or
11reckless homicide that caused an accident resulting in the
12death or severe injury of another person or if these charges
13are dismissed, there shall be no presumption that the employee
14is eligible for benefits under this Act. No employee shall be
15entitled to additional compensation under Sections 19(k) or
1619(l) of this Act or attorney's fees under Section 16 of this
17Act when the employee has been charged with a forcible felony,
18aggravated driving under the influence, or reckless homicide
19that caused an accident resulting in the death or severe injury
20of another person and the employer terminates benefits or
21refuses to pay benefits to the employee until the termination
22of any pending criminal proceedings.
23    Accidental injuries incurred while participating as a
24patient in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program do not
25arise out of and in the course of employment even though the
26employer pays some or all of the costs thereof.

6connection with the person's employment or in connection with
7any governmental program or recommendation for the inoculation
8of workers in the employee's occupation, geographical area, or
9other category that includes the employee is deemed to arise
10out of and in the course of the employment for all purposes
11under this Act. This paragraph added by this amendatory Act of
12the 93rd General Assembly is declarative of existing law and is
13not a new enactment.
14    No compensation shall be payable if (i) the employee's
15intoxication is the proximate cause of the employee's
16accidental injury or (ii) at the time the employee incurred the
17accidental injury, the employee was so intoxicated that the
18intoxication constituted a departure from the employment.

23Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act in the employee's blood,
24breath, or urine at the time the employee incurred the
25accidental injury shall be considered in any hearing under this
26Act to determine whether the employee was intoxicated at the

 

 

SB3798 Enrolled- 1617 -LRB097 15738 AMC 60882 b

1time the employee incurred the accidental injuries. If at the
2time of the accidental injuries, there was 0.08% or more by
3weight of alcohol in the employee's blood, breath, or urine or
4if there is any evidence of impairment due to the unlawful or
5unauthorized use of (1) cannabis as defined in the Cannabis
6Control Act, (2) a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
7Controlled Substances Act, or (3) an intoxicating compound
8listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act or if the
9employee refuses to submit to testing of blood, breath, or
10urine, then there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the
11employee was intoxicated and that the intoxication was the
12proximate cause of the employee's injury. The employee may
13overcome the rebuttable presumption by the preponderance of the
14admissible evidence that the intoxication was not the sole
15proximate cause or proximate cause of the accidental injuries.
16Percentage by weight of alcohol in the blood shall be based on
17grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. Percentage by
18weight of alcohol in the breath shall be based upon grams of
19alcohol per 210 liters of breath. Any testing that has not been
20performed by an accredited or certified testing laboratory
21shall not be admissible in any hearing under this Act to
22determine whether the employee was intoxicated at the time the
23employee incurred the accidental injury.
24    All sample collection and testing for alcohol and drugs
25under this Section shall be performed in accordance with rules
