(720 ILCS 5/33A-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 33A-1)
Sec. 33A-1. Legislative intent and definitions.
(a) Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares the
following:
(1) The use of a dangerous weapon in the commission of a
felony offense poses a much greater threat to the public health,
safety, and general welfare, then when a weapon is not used in
the commission of the offense.
(2) Further, the use of a firearm greatly facilitates the
commission of a criminal offense because of the more lethal
nature of a firearm and the greater perceived threat produced in
those confronted by a person wielding a firearm. Unlike other
dangerous weapons such as knives and clubs, the use of a firearm
in the commission of a criminal felony offense significantly
escalates the threat and the potential for bodily harm, and the
greater range of the firearm increases the potential for harm to
more persons. Not only are the victims and bystanders at greater
risk when a firearm is used, but also the law enforcement
officers whose duty is to confront and apprehend the armed
suspect.
(3) Current law does contain offenses involving the use or
discharge of a gun toward or against a person, such as aggravated
battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and
reckless discharge of a firearm; however, the General Assembly
has legislated greater penalties for the commission of a felony
while in possession of a firearm because it deems such acts as
more serious.
(b) Legislative intent.
(1) In order to deter the use of firearms in the commission
4446 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
of a felony offense, the General Assembly deems it appropriate
for a greater penalty to be imposed when a firearm is used or
discharged in the commission of an offense than the penalty
imposed for using other types of weapons and for the penalty to
increase on more serious offenses.
(2) With the additional elements of the discharge of a
firearm and great bodily harm inflicted by a firearm being added
to armed violence and other serious felony offenses, it is the
intent of the General Assembly to punish those elements more
severely during commission of a felony offense than when those
elements stand alone as the act of the offender.
(3) It is the intent of the 91st General Assembly that
should Public Act 88-680 be declared unconstitutional for a
violation of Article 4, Section 8 of the 1970 Constitution of the
State of Illinois, the amendatory changes made by Public Act
88-680 to Article 33A of the Criminal Code of 1961 and which are
set forth as law in this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly are hereby reenacted by this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly.
(c) Definitions.
(1) (a) "Armed with a dangerous weapon". A person is
considered armed with a dangerous weapon for purposes of this
Article, when he or she carries on or about his or her person or
is otherwise armed with a Category I, Category II, or Category
III weapon.
(2) (b) A Category I weapon is a handgun, sawed-off
shotgun, sawed-off rifle, any other firearm small enough to be
concealed upon the person, semiautomatic firearm, or machine gun.
A Category II weapon is any other rifle, shotgun, spring gun,
other firearm, stun gun or taser as defined in paragraph (a) of
Section 24-1 of this Code, knife with a blade of at least 3
inches in length, dagger, dirk, switchblade knife, stiletto,
axe, hatchet, or other deadly or dangerous weapon or instrument
of like character. As used in this subsection (b) "semiautomatic
firearm" means a repeating firearm that utilizes a portion of the
energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case
and chamber the next round and that requires a separate pull of
the trigger to fire each cartridge.
t (3) (c) A Category III weapon is a bludgeon, black-jack,
slungshot, sand-bag, sand-club, metal knuckles, billy, or other

comply with this subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from
4454 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]

supervised release term; however, the inability of the defendant
after making a good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for
the educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant whose
mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under this
subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5)

deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided in
this Chapter V.

felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on probation
under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of

motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the sentence imposed,
commit the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
the United States or his or her designated agent when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued
against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not
deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.

Section 3-6-3.

described in paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Section 12-13,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4457
forth his reasons for imposing the particular sentence he enters in

Code, or the lack of any such circumstances, as well as any other
such factors as the judge shall set forth on the record that are
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set out in
this Code.
(c) A motion to reduce a sentence may be made, or the court may
reduce a sentence without motion, within 30 days after the sentence

the motion on the court's calendar on a date certain within a
reasonable time after the date of filing.
(d) Except where a term of natural life is imposed, every
sentence shall include as though written therein a term in addition
to the term of imprisonment. For those sentenced under the law in
effect prior to February 1, 1978, such term shall be identified as a
parole term. For those sentenced on or after February 1, 1978, such
term shall be identified as a mandatory supervised release term.
Subject to earlier termination under Section 3-3-8, the parole or
mandatory supervised release term shall be as follows:
(1) for first degree murder or a Class X felony, 3 years;
(2) for a Class 1 felony or a Class 2 felony, 2 years;
(3) for a Class 3 felony or a Class 4 felony, 1 year.

United States and who, after sentence for a crime in Illinois, must
return to serve the unexpired prior sentence may have his sentence by
the Illinois court ordered to be concurrent with the prior sentence
in the other state. The court may order that any time served on the
unexpired portion of the sentence in the other state, prior to his
return to Illinois, shall be credited on his Illinois sentence. The
other state shall be furnished with a copy of the order imposing
sentence which shall provide that, when the offender is released from
confinement of the other state, whether by parole or by termination
of sentence, the offender shall be transferred by the Sheriff of the
committing county to the Illinois Department of Corrections. The
court shall cause the Department of Corrections to be notified of
such sentence at the time of commitment and to be provided with
copies of all records regarding the sentence.
(f) A defendant who has a previous and unexpired sentence of
imprisonment imposed by an Illinois circuit court for a crime in this
State and who is subsequently sentenced to a term of imprisonment by
another state or by any district court of the United States and who
has served a term of imprisonment imposed by the other state or
4458 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
district court of the United States, and must return to serve the
unexpired prior sentence imposed by the Illinois Circuit Court may
apply to the court which imposed sentence to have his sentence
reduced.
The circuit court may order that any time served on the sentence
imposed by the other state or district court of the United States be
credited on his Illinois sentence. Such application for reduction of
a sentence under this subsection (f) shall be made within 30 days
after the defendant has completed the sentence imposed by the other
state or district court of the United States.

(730 ILCS 5/5-8-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-8-4)
Sec. 5-8-4. Concurrent and Consecutive Terms of Imprisonment.
(a) When multiple sentences of imprisonment are imposed on a
defendant at the same time, or when a term of imprisonment is imposed
on a defendant who is already subject to sentence in this State or in
another state, or for a sentence imposed by any district court of the
United States, the sentences shall run concurrently or consecutively
as determined by the court. When a term of imprisonment is imposed on
a defendant by an Illinois circuit court and the defendant is
subsequently sentenced to a term of imprisonment by another state or
by a district court of the United States, the Illinois circuit court
which imposed the sentence may order that the Illinois sentence be
made concurrent with the sentence imposed by the other state or
district court of the United States. The defendant must apply to the
circuit court within 30 days after the defendant's sentence imposed
by the other state or district of the United States is finalized. The
court shall not impose consecutive sentences for offenses which were
committed as part of a single course of conduct during which there
was no substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective,
unless:
(i), one of the offenses for which defendant was convicted
was a Class X or Class 1 felony and the defendant inflicted
severe bodily injury, or
(ii) where the defendant was convicted of a violation of
Section 12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, or
(iii) the defendant was convicted of armed violence based
upon the predicate offense of solicitation of murder,
solicitation of murder for hire, heinous battery, aggravated
battery of a senior citizen, criminal sexual assault, a violation
of subsection (g) of Section 5 of the Cannabis Control Act,
cannabis trafficking, a violation of subsection (a) of Section
401 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, controlled
substance trafficking involving a Class X felony amount of
controlled substance under Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, calculated criminal drug conspiracy, or
streetgang criminal drug conspiracy,
in which event the court shall enter sentences to run consecutively.
Sentences shall run concurrently unless otherwise specified by the
court.
(b) The court shall not impose a consecutive sentence except as
provided for in subsection (a) unless, having regard to the nature
and circumstances of the offense and the history and character of the
defendant, it is of the opinion that such a term is required to
protect the public from further criminal conduct by the defendant,
the basis for which the court shall set forth in the record; except
that no such finding or opinion is required when multiple sentences
of imprisonment are imposed on a defendant for offenses that were not
committed as part of a single course of conduct during which there
was no substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4459
and one of the offenses for which the defendant was convicted was a
Class X or Class 1 felony and the defendant inflicted severe bodily
injury, or when the defendant was convicted of a violation of Section
12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, or where the
defendant was convicted of armed violence based upon the predicate
offense of solicitation of murder, solicitation of murder for hire,
heinous battery, aggravated battery of a senior citizen, criminal
sexual assault, a violation of subsection (g) of Section 5 of the
Cannabis Control Act, cannabis trafficking, a violation of subsection
(a) of Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
controlled substance trafficking involving a Class X felony amount of
controlled substance under Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, calculated criminal drug conspiracy, or streetgang
criminal drug conspiracy, in which event the Court shall enter
sentences to run consecutively.
(c) (1) For sentences imposed under law in effect prior to
February 1, 1978 the aggregate maximum of consecutive sentences
shall not exceed the maximum term authorized under Section 5-8-1
for the 2 most serious felonies involved. The aggregate minimum
period of consecutive sentences shall not exceed the highest
minimum term authorized under Section 5-8-1 for the 2 most
serious felonies involved. When sentenced only for misdemeanors,
a defendant shall not be consecutively sentenced to more than the
maximum for one Class A misdemeanor.
(2) For sentences imposed under the law in effect on or
after February 1, 1978, the aggregate of consecutive sentences
for offenses that were committed as part of a single course of
conduct during which there was no substantial change in the
nature of the criminal objective shall not exceed the sum of the
maximum terms authorized under Section 5-8-2 for the 2 most
serious felonies involved, but no such limitation shall apply for
offenses that were not committed as part of a single course of
conduct during which there was no substantial change in the
nature of the criminal objective. When sentenced only for
misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be consecutively sentenced to
more than the maximum for one Class A misdemeanor.
(d) An offender serving a sentence for a misdemeanor who is
convicted of a felony and sentenced to imprisonment shall be
transferred to the Department of Corrections, and the misdemeanor
sentence shall be merged in and run concurrently with the felony
sentence.
(e) In determining the manner in which consecutive sentences of
imprisonment, one or more of which is for a felony, will be served,
the Department of Corrections shall treat the offender as though he
had been committed for a single term with the following incidents:
(1) the maximum period of a term of imprisonment shall
consist of the aggregate of the maximums of the imposed
indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the imposed
determinate sentences for felonies plus the aggregate of the
imposed determinate sentences for misdemeanors subject to
paragraph (c) of this Section;
(2) the parole or mandatory supervised release term shall
be as provided in paragraph (e) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code for
the most serious of the offenses involved;
(3) the minimum period of imprisonment shall be the
aggregate of the minimum and determinate periods of imprisonment
imposed by the court, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section;
and
(4) the offender shall be awarded credit against the
aggregate maximum term and the aggregate minimum term of
imprisonment for all time served in an institution since the
4460 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
commission of the offense or offenses and as a consequence
thereof at the rate specified in Section 3-6-3 of this Code.
(f) A sentence of an offender committed to the Department of
Corrections at the time of the commission of the offense shall be
served consecutive to the sentence under which he is held by the
Department of Corrections. However, in case such offender shall be
sentenced to punishment by death, the sentence shall be executed at
such time as the court may fix without regard to the sentence under
which such offender may be held by the Department.
(g) A sentence under Section 3-6-4 for escape or attempted
escape shall be served consecutive to the terms under which the
offender is held by the Department of Corrections.
(h) If a person charged with a felony commits a separate felony
while on pre-trial release or in pretrial detention in a county jail
facility or county detention facility, the sentences imposed upon
conviction of these felonies shall be served consecutively regardless
of the order in which the judgments of conviction are entered.
(i) If a person admitted to bail following conviction of a
felony commits a separate felony while free on bond or if a person
detained in a county jail facility or county detention facility
following conviction of a felony commits a separate felony while in
detention, any sentence following conviction of the separate felony
shall be consecutive to that of the original sentence for which the
defendant was on bond or detained.

Section.
"Qualified student" means a person:
(1) who is a resident of this State and a citizen or

"Service Academy" means the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S.
Coast Guard Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, or the U.S. Naval

located in this State, each qualified student shall be awarded an
Illinois Merit Scholarship by the Illinois Student Assistance
Commission to any qualified Illinois institution of higher learning
or to any Service Academy.
(c) No Illinois Merit Scholarship provided for a qualified
student under this Section shall be considered in evaluating the
financial situation of that student or be deemed a financial resource
of or a form of financial aid or assistance to that student, for
purposes of determining the eligibility of the student for any
scholarship, grant, or monetary assistance awarded by the Commission,

other Section of this Act or any other law of this State; nor shall
any Illinois Merit Scholarship provided for a qualified student under

application to the Commission for an Illinois Merit Scholarship under
this Section. An otherwise eligible applicant who fails to make a
timely application (as determined by the Commission) for an Illinois
Merit Scholarship under this Section shall no longer be deemed an
eligible applicant and shall not qualify for the award.
(e) All applications for Illinois Merit Scholarships to be
awarded under this Section shall be made to the Commission on forms

applicant so determined by the Commission to be a qualified student
shall be awarded an Illinois Merit Scholarship in the amount of
$1,000, effective exclusively during the academic year following the
qualified student's high school graduation, subject to appropriation
by the General Assembly.

learning or Service Academy and used only for payment of the
educational expenses incurred by the student in connection with his
or her attendance as an undergraduate student or cadet at that

first semester or quarter for which the Illinois Merit Scholarship is
applicable, the student shall refund to the Commission the amount of
the scholarship received.

Scholarship program established by this Section and shall make all
necessary and proper rules, not inconsistent with this Section, for
its effective implementation.

Section is insufficient to provide scholarships to all qualified
students, the Commission shall allocate the appropriation in
accordance with this subsection (j). If funds are insufficient to
provide all qualified students with a scholarship as authorized by
subsection (g) of this Section, the Commission shall allocate the
scholarships to qualified students in order of decreasing relative
academic rank, as determined by the Commission using a formula based
upon the qualified student's grade point average, score on the
appropriate statewide standardized examination, or a combination of
grade point average and standardized test score. All Illinois Merit
Scholarships awarded shall be in the amount of $1,000.
(k) The Commission, in determining the number of Illinois Merit
4464 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
Scholarships to be offered pursuant to subsection (j) of this
Section, shall take into consideration past experience with the rate
of merit scholarship funds unclaimed by qualified students. To the
extent necessary to avoid an over-commitment of funds, the Commission
may allocate scholarship funds on the basis of the date the
Commission receives a completed application form.

AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 152 by replacing the title
with the following:
"AN ACT in relation to liquor distribution."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Illinois
Wine and Spirits Industry Fair Dealing Act of 1999.
Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act:
"Commission" means the Illinois Liquor Control Commission.
"Distributorship" means a business relationship, either express
or implied, whether oral or written, between a supplier of wine or
spirits (other than (i) an Illinois winery or (ii) a winery that has
annual case sales in the State of Illinois less than or equal to
10,000 cases per year) for resale and a distributor of such products
in which the distributor is given the right to sell a designated
product or products, in a generally defined geographic area, in
exchange for an express or implied promise to market the product or
products. A registration under the Liquor Control Act of 1934 as
amended is a distributorship.
"Supplier" means a person who is a grantor of a wine or liquor
distributorship in this State (other than (i) an Illinois winery or
(ii) a winery that has annual case sales in the State of Illinois
less than or equal to 10,000 cases per year).
"Distributor" means a person who is a grantee of a wine or liquor
distributorship in this State.
"Agreement" means any contract, agreement, course of dealing, or

definite or indefinite period between a supplier (other than (i) an
Illinois winery or (ii) a winery that has annual case sales in the
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4469
State of Illinois less than or equal to 10,000 cases per year, and a
distributor pursuant to which a distributor has been granted a
distributorship).
"Good cause" means a failure by a distributor to comply with
essential and reasonable requirements imposed upon the distributor by
the supplier or bad faith in the performance of the distributorship
agreement. The requirements may not be unreasonably discriminating
either by their terms or in the methods or effects of enforcement as
compared with requirements imposed on other similarly situated
distributors by the supplier. The requirements may not be
inconsistent with this Act or in violation of any law or regulation.
"Wine and liquor" means spirituous liquor or wine containing
alcohol in excess of 10 percent by weight, but not including beer and
other malt beverages.
"Person" means a natural person, partnership, joint venture,
corporation, or other entity, and includes heirs, assigns,
successors, personal representatives, and guardians.

Section 10. Legislative declaration; purposes and construction.
(a) The General Assembly makes the following findings and
declarations:
(i) Pursuant to the 21st Amendment of the Constitution of
the United States, the General Assembly has enacted the Liquor
Control Act of 1934, which establishes a three-tier system of
distribution of wine and spirits to the public.
(ii) This Act is enacted pursuant to authority of the State
of Illinois and under the provisions of the 21st Amendment to the
United States Constitution to promote the public's interest in
fair, efficient, and competitive distribution of wine and liquor
products.
(b) This Act shall be construed and applied to promote its
underlying remedial purposes and policies.
(c) The provisions of this Act are of a public order and cannot
be waived. Any contract or agreement purporting to do so is void and
unenforceable to that extent.
(d) This Act shall govern all relations between distributors and
suppliers to the full extent consistent with the constitutions of
this State and of the United States. Accordingly, Section 35, which
clarifies existing rights and obligations and establishes remedial
provisions, applies to all agreements between a distributor and a
supplier (other than agreements with an Illinois winery or a winery
that has annual case sales in the State of Illinois less than or
equal to 10,000 cases per year) whether those agreements were
entered into before or after the effective date of this Act.
Sections 15 through 30 of this Act shall govern all agreements
between a distributor and a supplier (other than agreements with an
Illinois winery or a winery that has annual case sales in the State
of Illinois less than or equal to 10,000 cases per year), entered
into after the effective date of this Act, including any renewal of
an agreement in existence on or before the effective date of this
Act. Renewal of an agreement with a designated term or duration shall
mean (i) establishment of a new term, (ii) extension of the agreement
on any other basis, or (iii) shipment of wine or spirits to the
distributor after the expiration of the designated term or duration.
Renewal of an agreement in place on a month to month, year to year,
or other periodic basis shall mean (i) continuation of the
distributorship into the next month, year, or other period, (ii)
extension of the distributorship on any other basis, or (iii)
shipment of wine or spirits to a distributor after the expiration of
the month or other periodic basis designated as the duration of the
distributorship in the agreement. Renewal of an agreement without a
4470 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
designated term or duration shall mean shipment of wine or spirits to
a distributor after the effective date.
(e) In accordance with Section 1.31 of the Statute on Statutes,
the provisions of this Act are severable. If any provision or
interpretation of this Act, or the application of such interpretation
or provision to any distributorship, is held invalid, the application
of the Act to persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.
Section 15. Cancellation and alteration of distributorships. No
supplier may cancel, fail to renew, otherwise terminate, or alter on
a discriminatory basis an agreement unless the party intending that
action has good cause for the cancellation, failure to renew,
termination, or alteration and, in any case in which prior
notification is required under Section 20, the party intending to act
has furnished the prior notification and the affected party has not
eliminated the reasons specified in the notification for
cancellation, failure to renew, or termination within 90 days after
the sending of the notification. Each party shall make a good faith
effort to resolve disputes under this Section. The burden of proving
good cause is on the party who asserts it.
Section 20. Notice of termination, cancellation, or alteration.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section, no
supplier may cancel, fail to renew, otherwise terminate, or alter an
agreement unless the supplier furnishes prior notification to the
affected party in accordance with subsection (b).
(b) The notification required under subsection (a) shall be in
writing and sent to the affected party by certified mail not less
than 90 days before the date on which the agreement will be
cancelled, not renewed, otherwise terminated, or altered. The
notification shall contain (i) a statement of intention to cancel,
fail to renew, otherwise terminate, or alter an agreement, (ii) a
complete statement of reasons therefore, including all data and
documentation necessary to fully apprise the distributor of the
reasons for the action, (iii) the date on which the action shall take
effect, and (iv) shall provide that the distributor has 60 days in
which to rectify any claimed deficiency. If the deficiency is
rectified within 60 days, the notice shall be void.
(c) A supplier may cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate
an agreement without furnishing any prior notification for any of the
following reasons:
(1) Distributor's assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or similar disposition, of substantially all of the assets of
such party's business.
(2) Insolvency of distributor or the institution of
proceedings in bankruptcy by or against the distributor.
(3) Dissolution or liquidation of the distributor.
(4) Distributor's conviction of, or plea of guilty or no
contest to, a charge of violating a law or regulation in this
State that materially and adversely affects the ability of either
party to continue to sell wine or liquor in this State, or the
revocation or suspension of a license or permit to sell wine or
liquor in this State.
(d) The notification required under subsection (a) shall be sent
not less than 10 days before the date of the cancellation,
non-renewal, termination, or alteration of the notice if the notice
is based on (i) failure to pay any account when due and upon demand
by the supplier for such payment, in accordance with agreed payment
terms, or (ii) bad faith in the performance of the distributorship
agreement. If the notice is based on a failure to pay any account,
the distributor shall have 10 days in which to remedy the default.
If the default in payment is remedied within 10 days, the notice
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4471
shall be void.
Section 25. Action for damages and injunctive relief. Parties to
a distributorship may bring an action in any court of competent
jurisdiction for damages sustained as a consequence of the violation,
and may also be granted injunctive relief against unlawful
termination, cancellation, nonrenewal, or other harm. For agreements
entered into or renewed after the effective date of this Act, this
remedy is an addition to the remedies provided in Section 35. It is
the policy of this State to avoid unfair or wrongful terminations.
Notwithstanding any provisions of any agreement between a supplier
and a distributor, the venue for any such action shall be at the
location of the distributorship and this Act shall apply.
Section 30. Application to arbitration agreements. An agreement
between a supplier that is not an Illinois winery or a winery that
has annual case sales in the State of Illinois less than or equal to
10,000 cases per year and a distributor providing for binding
arbitration of disputes shall be valid and enforceable in accordance
with the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event that a dispute
concerning the existence of good cause for a termination,
cancellation, nonrenewal, or other harm is resolved through
arbitration, the definition of good cause and the substantive
provisions of this Act shall apply.
Section 35. Procedural provisions; good faith; role of Liquor
Control Commission.
(a) This Section clarifies existing rights and obligations and
establishes remedial procedures applicable to registrations under
Section 6-9 of the Liquor Control Act of 1934.
(b) Under existing Illinois common and statutory law, suppliers,
other than (i) Illinois wineries or (ii) wineries that have annual
case sales in the State of Illinois less than or equal to 10,000
cases per year, who have or should have registered names of
distributors under Section 6-9 of the Liquor Control Act of 1934,
granting or confirming distributors rights to sell at wholesale in
this State, have an obligation to act in good faith in all aspects of
the registration and distributorship relationship, without
discrimination or coercion under threat of retaliation or termination
in bad faith, and in conformity with any emergency or final
regulations issued by the Liquor Control Commission pursuant to
Section 3-12 or 6-19 or other applicable provision of the Liquor
Control Act of 1934 or by the Department of Revenue. Under the
existing obligation to act in good faith, no registration or
obligation to register under Section 6-9 may be terminated, nor may a
supplier that is not an Illinois winery or a winery that has annual
case sales in the State of Illinois less than or equal to 10,000
cases per year fail to renew or extend a product, name, brand,
registration, or an agreement with a distributor except by acting in
good faith in all aspects of the relationship, without discrimination
or coercion, and not in retaliation or as a result of the
distributor's exercise of its right to petition the General Assembly,
the Congress, or any other unit or form of government for any
purpose, to any end, or for or against any proposition, provision,
amendment, bill, resolution, judgment, decision, rule, regulation, or
interpretation.
(c) In order to enforce the existing obligation of good faith
with respect to registrations under Section 6-9, the Commission shall
have power to:
(1) Prohibit or suspend any supplier that is not an
Illinois winery or a winery that has annual case sales in the
State of Illinois less than or equal to 10,000 cases per year or
its successors or assigns found to have flagrantly or repeatedly
violated the obligation described in this Section from selling
4472 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
any product or products governed under the Liquor Control Act of
1934 and the Twenty-First Amendment to the United States
Constitution in Illinois.
(2) Order the supplier, if the supplier is not an Illinois
winery or a winery that has annual case sales in the State of
Illinois less than or equal to 10,000 cases per year, to
continue providing products to a distributor at prices and
quantities in effect for the distributorship prior to any
termination or failure to renew that becomes the subject of a
dispute or administrative proceedings under this Section until
the matters in dispute are determined by an order which is final
and non-reviewable.
Orders of the Liquor Control Commission entered under this
Section shall be deemed orders as to which an emergency exists.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 30 of this Act, any aggrieved party
under this Section may apply to the Commission for a finding that
another party has violated this Section and request relief.
(e) Orders entered by the Commission under this Section shall be
reviewable by the Circuit Court under the terms of the Administrative
Review Law. In accordance with Section 3-110 of the Administrative
Review Law, findings and conclusions of the Commission shall be held
to be prima facie true and correct.
(f) No court shall enter a stay, restraining order, injunction,
mandamus, or other order that has the effect of suspending, delaying,
modifying, or overturning a Commission finding or determination under
this Section before a full hearing and final decision on the merits
of the Commission ruling, finding, or order.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming
law.".

Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 287 by replacing the title
with the following:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4473

(220 ILCS 5/13-301) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-301)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2001)
Sec. 13-301. Consistent with the findings and policy established
in paragraph (a) of Section 13-102 and paragraph (a) of Section
13-103, and in order to ensure the attainment of such policies, the
Commission shall:
(a) participate in all federal programs intended to preserve or
extend universal telecommunications service, unless such programs
would place cost burdens on Illinois customers of telecommunications
services in excess of the benefits they would receive through
participation, provided, however, the Commission shall not approve or
permit the imposition of any surcharge or other fee designed to
subsidize or provide a waiver for subscriber line charges; and shall
report on such programs together with an assessment of their adequacy
and the advisability of participating therein in its annual report to
the General Assembly, or more often as necessary;
(b) establish a program to monitor the level of
telecommunications subscriber connection within each exchange in
Illinois, and shall report the results of such monitoring and any
actions it has taken or recommends be taken to maintain and increase
such levels in its annual report to the General Assembly, or more
often if necessary;
(c) order all telecommunications carriers offering or providing
local exchange telecommunications service to propose low-cost or
budget service tariffs and any other rate design or pricing
mechanisms designed to facilitate customer access to such
telecommunications service, and shall after notice and hearing,
implement any such proposals which it finds likely to achieve such
purpose;
(d) investigate the necessity of and create, if appropriate,
feasibility of establishing a fund or funds from which eligible
telecommunications carriers offering or providing local exchange
telecommunications service, whose costs of providing
telecommunications services such service exceed the affordable rate
average cost of providing such services can service in Illinois,
could receive revenues intended to mitigate the price impact on
customers resulting from the high or rising cost of such services

are established, the Commission shall require that the costs of such
funds be recovered from all telecommunications carriers on a
competitively neutral basis; as used in this Section, "eligible
telecommunications carrier" means a telecommunications carrier that
has been designated as an eligible telecommunications carrier by the
Commission for a service area designated by the Commission in
accordance with 47 U.S.C. 214(e)(2). In creating any fund or funds as

addition, the Commission shall consider the range of services
currently offered by telecommunications carriers offering local
exchange telecommunications service, the existing rate structures
for the supported telecommunications services, and the
4474 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
telecommunications needs of Illinois consumers in determining the
supported telecommunications services. The Commission shall,
from time to time or upon request, review and, if appropriate,
revise the bundle or group of Illinois supported
telecommunications services and the terms of the fund or funds to
reflect changes or enhancements in telecommunications needs,
technologies, and available services.
(2) The identification of any implicit subsidies contained
in rates or charges of eligible telecommunications carriers and
how implicit subsidies can be made explicit by the creation of
the fund or funds. The identification of explicit subsidies
currently received by some local exchange carriers and the need
to maintain or transition the existing explicit support through
the fund or funds to be created.
(3) The identification of the incumbent local exchange
carriers' costs of providing the supported telecommunications
services. At the request of any incumbent local exchange carrier
or carriers, the use of a proxy for the identification of that
local exchange carrier or group of local exchange carriers' costs
of providing the supported telecommunications services.
(4) An affordable level of price for the supported
telecommunications services for the respective incumbent local
exchange carrier. The identification of indices or models for
use in establishing or updating the affordable level of price
with supported telecommunications services.
(5) The identification of a fund administrator, which shall
be an unaffiliated third party. The identification of all
eligible telecommunications carriers and the portability criteria
and mechanisms to be included within the fund or funds and
applied by the fund administrator.

whom the cost of the fund or funds shall be recovered and the
mechanism to be used to determine and establish a competitively
neutral funding basis. The adoption of a minimum contribution

administrative efficiency of any fund or funds. From time to
time, or upon request, the Commission shall consider whether,
based upon changes in technology or other factors, additional
telecommunications providers should contribute to the fund or
funds. The establishment of the basis upon which
telecommunications carriers contributing to the fund or funds
shall recover contributions also on a competitively neutral

investigation together with any recommendations for legislative
action in its first annual report to the General Assembly in

telecommunications service which offers to its local exchange
customers a choice of two or more local exchange telecommunications
service offerings shall provide, to any such customer requesting it,
once a year without charge, a report describing which local exchange
telecommunications service offering would result in the lowest bill
for such customer's local exchange service, based on such customer's
calling pattern and usage for the previous 6 months. At least once a
year, each such carrier shall provide a notice to each of its local
exchange telecommunications service customers describing the
availability of this report and the specific procedures by which
customers may receive it. Such report shall only be available to
current and future customers who have received at least 6 months of
continuous local exchange service from such carrier.

with the following:
"AN ACT to amend the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act by changing
Sections 4, 5, 6, 13, and 29."; and

changing Sections 4, 5, 6, 13, and 29 as follows:
(815 ILCS 710/4) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 754)
Sec. 4. Unfair competition and practices.
(a) The unfair methods of competition and unfair and deceptive
acts or practices listed in this Section are hereby declared to be
unlawful. In construing the provisions of this Section, the courts
may be guided by the interpretations of the Federal Trade Commission
Act (15 U.S.C. 45 et seq.), as from time to time amended.
(b) It shall be deemed a violation for any manufacturer, factory
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4479
branch, factory representative, distributor or wholesaler,
distributor branch, distributor representative or motor vehicle
dealer to engage in any action with respect to a franchise which is
arbitrary, in bad faith or unconscionable and which causes damage to
any of the parties or to the public.
(c) It shall be deemed a violation for a manufacturer, a
distributor, a wholesaler, a distributor branch or division, a
factory branch or division, or a wholesale branch or division, or
officer, agent or other representative thereof, to coerce, or attempt
to coerce, any motor vehicle dealer:
(1) to accept, buy or order any motor vehicle or vehicles,
appliances, equipment, parts or accessories therefor, or any
other commodity or commodities or service or services which such
motor vehicle dealer has not voluntarily ordered or requested
except items required by applicable local, state or federal law;
or to require a motor vehicle dealer to accept, buy, order or
purchase such items in order to obtain any motor vehicle or
vehicles or any other commodity or commodities which have been
ordered or requested by such motor vehicle dealer;
(2) to order or accept delivery of any motor vehicle with
special features, appliances, accessories or equipment not
included in the list price of the motor vehicles as publicly
advertised by the manufacturer thereof, except items required by
applicable law; or
(3) to order for anyone any parts, accessories, equipment,
machinery, tools, appliances or any commodity whatsoever, except
items required by applicable law.
(d) It shall be deemed a violation for a manufacturer, a
distributor, a wholesaler, a distributor branch or division, or
officer, agent or other representative thereof:
(1) to adopt, change, establish or implement a plan or
system for the allocation and distribution of new motor vehicles
to motor vehicle dealers which is arbitrary or capricious or to
modify an existing plan so as to cause the same to be arbitrary
or capricious;
(2) to fail or refuse to advise or disclose to any motor
vehicle dealer having a franchise or selling agreement, upon
written request therefor, the basis upon which new motor vehicles
of the same line make are allocated or distributed to motor
vehicle dealers in the State and the basis upon which the current
allocation or distribution is being made or will be made to such
motor vehicle dealer;
(3) to refuse to deliver in reasonable quantities and
within a reasonable time after receipt of dealer's order, to any
motor vehicle dealer having a franchise or selling agreement for
the retail sale of new motor vehicles sold or distributed by such
manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, distributor branch or
division, factory branch or division or wholesale branch or
division, any such motor vehicles as are covered by such
franchise or selling agreement specifically publicly advertised
in the State by such manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler,
distributor branch or division, factory branch or division, or
wholesale branch or division to be available for immediate
delivery. However, the failure to deliver any motor vehicle
shall not be considered a violation of this Act if such failure
is due to an act of God, a work stoppage or delay due to a strike
or labor difficulty, a shortage of materials, a lack of
manufacturing capacity, a freight embargo or other cause over
which the manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler, or any agent
thereof has no control;
(4) to coerce, or attempt to coerce, any motor vehicle
4480 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
dealer to enter into any agreement with such manufacturer,
distributor, wholesaler, distributor branch or division, factory
branch or division, or wholesale branch or division, or officer,
agent or other representative thereof, or to do any other act
prejudicial to the dealer by threatening to reduce his allocation
of motor vehicles or cancel any franchise or any selling
agreement existing between such manufacturer, distributor,
wholesaler, distributor branch or division, or factory branch or
division, or wholesale branch or division, and the dealer.
However, notice in good faith to any motor vehicle dealer of the
dealer's violation of any terms or provisions of such franchise
or selling agreement or of any law or regulation applicable to
the conduct of a motor vehicle dealer shall not constitute a
violation of this Act;
(5) to require a franchisee to participate in an
advertising campaign or contest or any promotional campaign, or
to purchase or lease any promotional materials, training
materials, show room or other display decorations or materials at
the expense of the franchisee;
(6) to cancel or terminate the franchise or selling
agreement of a motor vehicle dealer without good cause and
without giving notice as hereinafter provided; to fail or refuse
to extend the franchise or selling agreement of a motor vehicle
dealer upon its expiration without good cause and without giving
notice as hereinafter provided; or, to offer a renewal,
replacement or succeeding franchise or selling agreement
containing terms and provisions the effect of which is to
substantially change or modify the sales and service obligations
or capital requirements of the motor vehicle dealer arbitrarily
and without good cause and without giving notice as hereinafter
provided notwithstanding any term or provision of a franchise or
selling agreement.
(A) If a manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler,
distributor branch or division, factory branch or division
or wholesale branch or division intends to cancel or
terminate a franchise or selling agreement or intends not to
extend or renew a franchise or selling agreement on its
expiration, it shall send a letter by certified mail, return
receipt requested, to the affected franchisee at least 60
days before the effective date of the proposed action, or
not later than 10 days before the proposed action when the
reason for the action is based upon either of the following:
(i) the business operations of the franchisee
have been abandoned or the franchisee has failed to
conduct customary sales and service operations during
customary business hours for at least 7 consecutive
business days unless such closing is due to an act of
God, strike or labor difficulty or other cause over
which the franchisee has no control; or
(ii) the conviction of or plea of nolo contendere
by the motor vehicle dealer or any operator thereof in
a court of competent jurisdiction to an offense
punishable by imprisonment for more than two years.
Each notice of proposed action shall include a detailed
statement setting forth the specific grounds for the
proposed cancellation, termination, or refusal to extend or
renew and shall state that the dealer has only 30 days from
receipt of the notice to file with the Motor Vehicle Review
Board a written protest against the proposed action.
(B) If a manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler,
distributor branch or division, factory branch or division
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4481
or wholesale branch or division intends to change
substantially or modify the sales and service obligations or
capital requirements of a motor vehicle dealer as a
condition to extending or renewing the existing franchise or
selling agreement of such motor vehicle dealer, it shall
send a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested,
to the affected franchisee at least 60 days before the date
of expiration of the franchise or selling agreement. Each
notice of proposed action shall include a detailed statement
setting forth the specific grounds for the proposed action
and shall state that the dealer has only 30 days from
receipt of the notice to file with the Motor Vehicle Review
Board a written protest against the proposed action.
(C) Within 30 15 days from receipt of the notice under
subparagraphs (A) and (B), the franchisee may file with the
Board a written protest against the proposed action.
When the protest has been timely filed, the Board shall
enter an order, fixing a date (within 60 days of the date of
the order), time, and place of a hearing on the protest
required under Sections 12 and 29 of this Act, and send by
certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the
order to the manufacturer that filed the notice of intention
of the proposed action and to the protesting dealer or
franchisee.
The manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to
establish that good cause exists to cancel or terminate, or
fail to extend or renew the franchise or selling agreement
of a motor vehicle dealer or franchisee, and to change
substantially or modify the sales and service obligations or
capital requirements of a motor vehicle dealer as a
condition to extending or renewing the existing franchise or
selling agreement. The determination whether good cause
exists to cancel, terminate, or refuse to renew or extend
the franchise or selling agreement, or to change or modify
the obligations of the dealer as a condition to offer
renewal, replacement, or succession shall be made by the
Board under subsection (d) of Section 12 of this Act.
(D) Notwithstanding the terms, conditions, or
provisions of a franchise or selling agreement, the
following shall not constitute good cause for cancelling or
terminating or failing to extend or renew the franchise or
selling agreement: (i) the change of ownership or executive
management of the franchisee's dealership; or (ii) the fact
that the franchisee or owner of an interest in the franchise
owns, has an investment in, participates in the management
of, or holds a license for the sale of the same or any other
line make of new motor vehicles.
Good cause shall exist to cancel, terminate or fail to
offer a renewal or replacement franchise or selling
agreement to all franchisees of a line make if the
manufacturer permanently discontinues the manufacture or
assembly of motor vehicles of such line make.
(E) The manufacturer may not cancel or terminate, or
fail to extend or renew a franchise or selling agreement or
change or modify the obligations of the franchisee as a
condition to offering a renewal, replacement, or succeeding
franchise or selling agreement before the hearing process is
concluded as prescribed by this Act, and thereafter, if the
Board determines that the manufacturer has failed to meet
its burden of proof and that good cause does not exist to
allow the proposed action; or
4482 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
(7) notwithstanding the terms of any franchise agreement,
to fail to indemnify and hold harmless its franchised dealers
against any judgment or settlement for damages, including, but
not limited to, court costs, expert witness fees, and reasonable
attorneys' fees of the new motor vehicle dealer, and other
expenses incurred in the litigation, so long as such fees and
costs are reasonable, arising out of complaints, claims or
lawsuits including, but not limited to, strict liability,
negligence, misrepresentation, warranty (express or implied), or
recision of the sale as defined in Section 2-608 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, to the extent that the judgment or settlement
relates to the alleged defective or negligent manufacture,
assembly or design of new motor vehicles, parts or accessories or
other functions by the manufacturer, beyond the control of the
dealer; provided that, in order to provide an adequate defense,
the manufacturer receives notice of the filing of a complaint,
claim, or lawsuit within 60 days after the filing.
(e) It shall be deemed a violation for a manufacturer, a
distributor, a wholesaler, a distributor branch or division or
officer, agent or other representative thereof:
(1) to resort to or use any false or misleading
advertisement in connection with his business as such
manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, distributor branch or
division or officer, agent or other representative thereof;
(2) to offer to sell or lease, or to sell or lease, any new
motor vehicle to any motor vehicle dealer at a lower actual price
therefor than the actual price offered to any other motor vehicle
dealer for the same model vehicle similarly equipped or to
utilize any device including, but not limited to, sales promotion
plans or programs which result in such lesser actual price or
fail to make available to any motor vehicle dealer any
preferential pricing, incentive, rebate, finance rate, or low
interest loan program offered to competing motor vehicle dealers
in other contiguous states. However, the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to sales to a motor vehicle dealer for
resale to any unit of the United States Government, the State or
any of its political subdivisions;
(3) to offer to sell or lease, or to sell or lease, any new
motor vehicle to any person, except a wholesaler, distributor or
manufacturer's employees at a lower actual price therefor than
the actual price offered and charged to a motor vehicle dealer
for the same model vehicle similarly equipped or to utilize any
device which results in such lesser actual price. However, the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to sales to a motor
vehicle dealer for resale to any unit of the United States
Government, the State or any of its political subdivisions;
(4) to prevent or attempt to prevent by contract or
otherwise any motor vehicle dealer or franchisee from changing
the executive management control of the motor vehicle dealer or
franchisee unless the franchiser, having the burden of proof,
proves that such change of executive management will result in
executive management control by a person or persons who are not
of good moral character or who do not meet the franchiser's
existing and, with consideration given to the volume of sales and
service of the dealership, uniformly applied minimum business
experience standards in the market area. However where the
manufacturer rejects a proposed change in executive management
control, the manufacturer shall give written notice of his
reasons to the dealer within 60 days of notice to the
manufacturer by the dealer of the proposed change. If the
manufacturer does not send a letter to the franchisee by
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4483
certified mail, return receipt requested, within 60 days from
receipt by the manufacturer of the proposed change, then the
change of the executive management control of the franchisee
shall be deemed accepted as proposed by the franchisee, and the
manufacturer shall give immediate effect to such change;
(5) to prevent or attempt to prevent by contract or
otherwise any motor vehicle dealer from establishing or changing
the capital structure of his dealership or the means by or
through which he finances the operation thereof; provided the
dealer meets any reasonable capital standards agreed to between
the dealer and the manufacturer, distributor or wholesaler, who
may require that the sources, method and manner by which the
dealer finances or intends to finance its operation, equipment or
facilities be fully disclosed;
(6) to refuse to give effect to or prevent or attempt to
prevent by contract or otherwise any motor vehicle dealer or any
officer, partner or stockholder of any motor vehicle dealer from
selling or transferring any part of the interest of any of them
to any other person or persons or party or parties unless such
sale or transfer is to a transferee who would not otherwise
qualify for a new motor vehicle dealers license under "The
Illinois Vehicle Code" or unless the franchiser, having the
burden of proof, proves that such sale or transfer is to a person
or party who is not of good moral character or does not meet the
franchiser's existing and reasonable capital standards and, with
consideration given to the volume of sales and service of the
dealership, uniformly applied minimum business experience
standards in the market area. However, nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent a franchiser from implementing affirmative
action programs providing business opportunities for minorities
or from complying with applicable federal, State or local law:
(A) If the manufacturer intends to refuse to approve
the sale or transfer of all or a part of the interest, then
it shall, within 60 days from receipt of the completed
application forms generally utilized by a manufacturer to
conduct its review and a copy of all agreements regarding
the proposed transfer, send a letter by certified mail,
return receipt requested, advising the franchisee of any
refusal to approve the sale or transfer of all or part of
the interest and shall state that the dealer only has 30
days from the receipt of the notice to file with the Motor
Vehicle Review Board a written protest against the proposed
action. The notice shall set forth specific criteria used to
evaluate the prospective transferee and the grounds for
refusing to approve the sale or transfer to that transferee.
Within 30 15 days from the franchisee's receipt of the
manufacturer's notice, the franchisee may file with the
Board a written protest against the proposed action.
When a protest has been timely filed, the Board shall
enter an order, fixing the date (within 60 days of the date
of such order), time, and place of a hearing on the protest,
required under Sections 12 and 29 of this Act, and send by
certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the
order to the manufacturer that filed notice of intention of
the proposed action and to the protesting franchisee.
The manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to
establish that good cause exists to refuse to approve the
sale or transfer to the transferee. The determination
whether good cause exists to refuse to approve the sale or
transfer shall be made by the Board under subdivisions
(6)(B). The manufacturer shall not refuse to approve the
4484 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
sale or transfer by a dealer or an officer, partner, or
stockholder of a franchise or any part of the interest to
any person or persons before the hearing process is
concluded as prescribed by this Act, and thereafter if the
Board determines that the manufacturer has failed to meet
its burden of proof and that good cause does not exist to
refuse to approve the sale or transfer to the transferee.
(B) Good cause to refuse to approve such sale or
transfer under this Section is established when such sale or
transfer is to a transferee who would not otherwise qualify
for a new motor vehicle dealers license under "The Illinois
Vehicle Code" or such sale or transfer is to a person or
party who is not of good moral character or does not meet
the franchiser's existing and reasonable capital standards
and, with consideration given to the volume of sales and
service of the dealership, uniformly applied minimum
business experience standards in the market area.
(7) to obtain money, goods, services, anything of value, or
any other benefit from any other person with whom the motor
vehicle dealer does business, on account of or in relation to the
transactions between the dealer and the other person as
compensation, except for services actually rendered, unless such
benefit is promptly accounted for and transmitted to the motor
vehicle dealer;
(8) to grant an additional franchise in the relevant market
area of an existing franchise of the same line make or to
relocate an existing motor vehicle dealership within or into a
relevant market area of an existing franchise of the same line
make. However, if the manufacturer wishes to grant such an
additional franchise to an independent person in a bona fide
relationship in which such person is prepared to make a
significant investment subject to loss in such a dealership, or
if the manufacturer wishes to relocate an existing motor vehicle
dealership, then the manufacturer shall send a letter by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to each existing dealer
or dealers of the same line make whose relevant market area
includes the proposed location of the additional or relocated
franchise at least 60 days before the manufacturer grants an
additional franchise or relocates an existing franchise of the
same line make within or into the relevant market area of an
existing franchisee of the same line make. Each notice shall set
forth the specific grounds for the proposed grant of an
additional or relocation of an existing franchise. Unless the
parties agree upon the grant or establishment of the additional
or relocated franchise within 30 15 days from the date the notice
was received by the existing franchisee of the same line make or
any person entitled to receive such notice, the franchisee or
other person may file with the Board a written protest against
the grant or establishment of the proposed additional or
relocated franchise and shall state that the dealer only has 30
days from the receipt of the notice to file with the Motor
Vehicle Review Board a written protest against the proposed
action.
When a protest has been timely filed, the Board shall enter
an order fixing a date (within 60 days of the date of the order),
time, and place of a hearing on the protest, required under
Sections 12 and 29 of this Act, and send by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the order to
the manufacturer that filed the notice of intention to grant or
establish the proposed additional or relocated franchise and to
the protesting dealer or dealers of the same line make whose
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4485
relevant market area includes the proposed location of the
additional or relocated franchise.
When more than one protest is filed against the grant or
establishment of the additional or relocated franchise of the
same line make, the Board may consolidate the hearings to
expedite disposition of the matter. The manufacturer shall have
the burden of proof to establish that good cause exists to allow
the grant or establishment of the additional or relocated
franchise. The manufacturer may not grant or establish the
additional franchise or relocate the existing franchise before
the hearing process is concluded as prescribed by this Act, and
thereafter if the Board determines that the manufacturer has
failed to meet its burden of proof and that good cause does not
exist to allow the grant or establishment of the additional
franchise or relocation of the existing franchise.
The determination whether good cause exists for allowing the
grant or establishment of an additional franchise or relocated
existing franchise, shall be made by the Board under subsection
(c) of Section 12 of this Act. If the manufacturer seeks to enter
into a contract, agreement or other arrangement with any person,
establishing any additional motor vehicle dealership or other
facility, limited to the sale of factory repurchase vehicles or
late model vehicles, then the manufacturer shall follow the
notice procedures set forth in this Section and the determination
whether good cause exists for allowing the proposed agreement
shall be made by the Board under subsection (c) of Section 12,
with the manufacturer having the burden of proof.
A. (Blank).
B. For the purposes of this Section, appointment of a
successor motor vehicle dealer at the same location as its
predecessor, or within 2 miles of such location, or the
relocation of an existing dealer or franchise within 2 miles
of the relocating dealer's or franchisee's existing
location, shall not be construed as a grant, establishment
or the entering into of an additional franchise or selling
agreement, or a relocation of an existing franchise. The
reopening of a motor vehicle dealership that has not been in
operation for 18 months or more shall be deemed the grant of
an additional franchise or selling agreement.
C. This Section does not apply to the relocation of an
existing dealership or franchise in a county having a
population of more than 300,000 persons when the new
location is within the dealer's current relevant market
area, provided the new location is more than 7 miles from
the nearest dealer of the same line make or is further away
from the nearest dealer of the same line make. This Section
does not apply to the relocation of an existing dealership
or franchise in a county having a population of less than
300,000 persons when the new location is within the dealer's
current relevant market area, provided the new location is
more than 12 miles from the nearest dealer of the same line
make or is further away from the nearest dealer of the same
line make.
D. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
prevent a franchiser from implementing affirmative action
programs providing business opportunities for minorities or
from complying with applicable federal, State or local law;
(9) to require a motor vehicle dealer to assent to a
release, assignment, novation, waiver or estoppel which would
relieve any person from liability imposed by this Act;
(10) to prevent or refuse to give effect to the succession
4486 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
to the ownership or management control of a dealership by any
legatee under the will of a dealer or to an heir under the laws
of descent and distribution of this State unless the franchisee
has designated a successor to the ownership or management control
under the succession provisions of the franchise. Unless the
franchiser, having the burden of proof, proves that the successor
is a person who is not of good moral character or does not meet
the franchiser's existing and reasonable capital standards and,
with consideration given to the volume of sales and service of
the dealership, uniformly applied minimum business experience
standards in the market area, any designated successor of a
dealer or franchisee may succeed to the ownership or management
control of a dealership under the existing franchise if:
(i) The designated successor gives the franchiser
written notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, of his or her intention to succeed to the
ownership of the dealer within 60 days of the dealer's
death or incapacity; and
(ii) The designated successor agrees to be bound
by all the terms and conditions of the existing
franchise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the motor
vehicle dealer or franchisee and manufacturer have duly executed
an agreement concerning succession rights prior to the dealer's
death or incapacitation, the agreement shall be observed.
(A) If the franchiser intends to refuse to honor the
successor to the ownership of a deceased or incapacitated
dealer or franchisee under an existing franchise agreement,
the franchiser shall send a letter by certified mail, return
receipt requested, to the designated successor within 60
days from receipt of a proposal advising of its intent to
refuse to honor the succession and to discontinue the
existing franchise agreement and shall state that the
designated successor only has 30 days from the receipt of
the notice to file with the Motor Vehicle Review Board a
written protest against the proposed action. The notice
shall set forth the specific grounds for the refusal to
honor the succession and discontinue the existing franchise
agreement.
If notice of refusal is not timely served upon the
designated successor, the franchise agreement shall continue
in effect subject to termination only as otherwise permitted
by paragraph (6) of subsection (d) of Section 4 of this Act.
Within 30 15 days from the date the notice was received
by the designated successor or any other person entitled to
notice, the designee or other person may file with the Board
a written protest against the proposed action.
When a protest has been timely filed, the Board shall
enter an order, fixing a date (within 60 days of the date of
the order), time, and place of a hearing on the protest,
required under Sections 12 and 29 of this Act, and send by
certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the
order to the franchiser that filed the notice of intention
of the proposed action and to the protesting designee or
such other person.
The manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to
establish that good cause exists to refuse to honor the
succession and discontinue the existing franchise agreement.
The determination whether good cause exists to refuse to
honor the succession shall be made by the Board under
subdivision (B) of this paragraph (10). The manufacturer
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4487
shall not refuse to honor the succession or discontinue the
existing franchise agreement before the hearing process is
concluded as prescribed by this Act, and thereafter if the
Board determines that it has failed to meet its burden of
proof and that good cause does not exist to refuse to honor
the succession and discontinue the existing franchise
agreement.
(B) No manufacturer shall impose any conditions upon
honoring the succession and continuing the existing
franchise agreement with the designated successor other than
that the franchisee has designated a successor to the
ownership or management control under the succession
provisions of the franchise, or that the designated
successor is of good moral character or meets the reasonable
capital standards and, with consideration given to the
volume of sales and service of the dealership, uniformly
applied minimum business experience standards in the market
area;
(11) to prevent or refuse to approve a proposal to
establish a successor franchise at a location previously approved
by the franchiser when submitted with the voluntary termination
by the existing franchisee unless the successor franchisee would
not otherwise qualify for a new motor vehicle dealer's license
under the Illinois Vehicle Code or unless the franchiser, having
the burden of proof, proves that such proposed successor is not
of good moral character or does not meet the franchiser's
existing and reasonable capital standards and, with consideration
given to the volume of sales and service of the dealership,
uniformly applied minimum business experience standards in the
market area. However, when such a rejection of a proposal is
made, the manufacturer shall give written notice of its reasons
to the franchisee within 60 days of receipt by the manufacturer
of the proposal. However, nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent a franchiser from implementing affirmative action
programs providing business opportunities for minorities, or from
complying with applicable federal, State or local law;
(12) to prevent or refuse to grant a franchise to a person
because such person owns, has investment in or participates in
the management of or holds a franchise for the sale of another
make or line of motor vehicles within 7 miles of the proposed
franchise location in a county having a population of more than
300,000 persons, or within 12 miles of the proposed franchise
location in a county having a population of less than 300,000

Sec. 5. Delivery and preparation obligations; damage
disclosures. Every manufacturer shall specify in writing to the
dealer the delivery and preparation obligations of its motor vehicle
dealers prior to delivery of new motor vehicles to retail buyers. A
copy of the delivery and preparation obligations of its motor vehicle
dealers and a schedule of the compensation to be paid to its motor
vehicle dealers for the work and services they shall be required to
4488 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
perform in connection with such delivery and preparation obligations
shall be presented to the dealer and the obligations specified
therein shall constitute any such dealer's only predelivery
obligations as between such dealer and such manufacturer. The
compensation as set forth on said schedule shall be reasonable.
A manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, distributor branch,
or wholesaler of new motor vehicles sold or transferred to a motor
vehicle dealer in this State shall disclose to the motor vehicle
dealer, in writing, before delivery of a vehicle to the motor vehicle
dealer all in-transit, post-manufacture, or other damage to the
vehicle that was sustained or incurred by the motor vehicle at any
time after the manufacturing process was complete but before delivery
of the vehicle to the dealer. This disclosure is not required when
the cost to repair does not exceed 6% of the manufacturer's suggested
retail price of the vehicle based upon the dealer's actual retail
repair cost, including labor, parts, and materials if the damage is
repaired or retail estimate to repair if the vehicle is not repaired.
New motor vehicles that are repaired may be sold as new and shall be
fully warranted by the manufacturer.
For purposes of this Section, "manufacturer's suggested retail
price" means the retail price of the new motor vehicle suggested by
the manufacturer including the retail delivered price suggested by
the manufacturer for each separately priced accessory or item of
optional equipment physically attached to the new motor vehicle at
the time of delivery.
Whenever a new motor vehicle sustains or incurs any in-transit,
post-manufacture, or other damage at any time after the manufacturing
process is complete, but before delivery of the vehicle to the motor
vehicle dealer, the dealer may within a reasonable period of time
after delivery of the motor vehicle notify the manufacturer or
distributor of that damage and either:
(1) revoke acceptance of the delivery of the new motor
vehicle whereby ownership of the motor vehicle shall revert to
the manufacturer, and the dealer shall incur no obligations,
financial, or otherwise for that new motor vehicle; or
(2) request authorization from the manufacturer to repair
the damage sustained or incurred by the new motor vehicle. If
the manufacturer refuses or fails to authorize repair of the
damage within 3 days of the request by the dealer, the dealer may
then revoke acceptance of the delivery of the new motor vehicle;
ownership shall revert to the manufacturer; and the dealer shall
incur no obligations, financial, or otherwise for that new motor
vehicle.
A motor vehicle dealer shall disclose to the purchaser before
delivery of the new motor vehicle, in writing, any damage that the
dealer has actual knowledge was sustained or incurred by the motor
vehicle at any time after the manufacturing process was complete but
before delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser. This disclosure is
not required when the cost to repair does not exceed 6% of the
manufacturer's suggested retail price of the vehicle based upon the
dealer's actual retail repair cost, including labor, parts, and
materials if the damage is repaired or the retail estimate to repair
the vehicle if it is not repaired.
Damage to glass, tires, bumpers, and in-dash audio equipment is
not to be considered in determining the cost of repair if replaced
with the manufacturer's original equipment.
If disclosure is not required under this Section, a purchaser may
not revoke or rescind a sales contract due to the fact the new
vehicle was damaged and repaired before completion of the sale. In
that circumstance, nondisclosure does not constitute a
misrepresentation or omission of fact.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4489
A manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, distributor branch,
or wholesaler of new motor vehicles shall, notwithstanding the terms
of any franchise agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the motor
vehicle dealer obtaining a new motor vehicle from the manufacturer,
factory branch, distributor, distributor branch, or wholesaler from
and against any liability, including reasonable attorney's fees,
expert witness fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred in the
litigation, so long as such fees and costs are reasonable, that the
motor vehicle dealer may be subjected to by the purchaser of the
vehicle because of damage to the motor vehicle that occurred before
delivery of the vehicle to the dealer and that was not disclosed in
writing to the dealer prior to delivery of the vehicle. This
indemnity obligation of the manufacturer, factory branch,
distributor, distributor branch, or wholesaler applies regardless of
whether the damage falls below the 6% threshold under this Section.
The failure of the manufacturer, factory branch, distributor,
distributor branch, or wholesaler to indemnify and hold harmless the
motor vehicle dealer is a violation of this Section.

(815 ILCS 710/6) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 756)
Sec. 6. Warranty agreements; claims; approval; payment; written
disapproval.
(a) Every manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, distributor
branch or division, factory branch or division, or wholesale branch
or division shall properly fulfill any warranty agreement and
adequately and fairly compensate each of its motor vehicle dealers
for labor and parts.
(b) In no event shall such compensation fail to include
reasonable compensation for diagnostic work, as well as repair
service, and labor, and parts. Time allowances for the diagnosis and
performance of warranty work and service shall be reasonable and
adequate for the work to be performed. In the determination of what
constitutes reasonable compensation under this Section, the principal
factor to be given consideration shall be the prevailing wage rates
being paid by the dealer in the relevant market area in which the
motor vehicle dealer is doing business, and in no event shall such
compensation of a motor vehicle dealer for warranty service be less
than the rates charged by such dealer for like service to retail
customers for nonwarranty service and repairs. The franchiser shall
reimburse the franchisee for any parts provided in satisfaction of a
warranty at the prevailing retail price charged by that dealer for
the same parts when not provided in satisfaction of a warranty;
provided that such motor vehicle franchisee's prevailing retail price
is not unreasonable when compared with that of the holders of motor
vehicle franchises from the same motor vehicle franchiser for
identical merchandise in the geographic area in which the motor
vehicle franchisee is engaged in business. All claims, either
original or resubmitted, made by motor vehicle dealers hereunder and
under Section 5 for such labor and parts shall be either approved or
disapproved within 30 days following their submission. All approved
claims shall be paid within 30 days following their approval. The
motor vehicle dealer who submits a claim which is disapproved shall
be notified in writing of the disapproval within the same period, and
each such notice shall state the specific grounds upon which the
disapproval is based. The motor vehicle dealer shall be permitted to
correct and resubmit such disapproved claims within 30 days of
receipt of disapproval. Any claims not specifically disapproved in
writing within 30 days from their submission shall be deemed approved
and payment shall follow within 30 days. The manufacturer or
franchiser shall have the right to require reasonable documentation
for claims and to audit such claims within a one year period from the
4490 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
date the claim was paid or credit issued by the manufacturer or
franchiser, and to charge back any false or unsubstantiated claims.
The audit and charge back provisions of this Section also apply to
all other incentive and reimbursement programs for a period of 18
months after the date of the transactions that are subject to audit
by the franchiser. However, the manufacturer retains the right to
charge back any fraudulent claim if the manufacturer establishes in a
court of competent jurisdiction in this State that the claim is
fraudulent.
(c) The motor vehicle franchiser shall not, by agreement, by
restrictions upon reimbursement, or otherwise, restrict the nature
and extent of services to be rendered or parts to be provided so that
such restriction prevents the motor vehicle franchisee from
satisfying the warranty by rendering services in a good and
workmanlike manner and providing parts which are required in
accordance with generally accepted standards. Any such restriction
shall constitute a prohibited practice.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, the "prevailing retail
price charged by that dealer for the same parts" means the price paid
by the motor vehicle franchisee for parts, including all shipping and
other charges, multiplied by the sum of 1.0 and the franchisee's
average percentage markup over the price paid by the motor vehicle
franchisee for parts purchased by the motor vehicle franchisee from
the motor vehicle franchiser and sold at retail. The motor vehicle
franchisee may establish average percentage markup under this Section
by submitting to the motor vehicle franchiser 100 sequential customer
paid service repair orders or 90 days of customer paid service repair
orders, whichever is less, covering repairs made no more than 180
days before the submission, and declaring what the average percentage
markup is. The average percentage markup so declared shall go into
effect 30 days following the declaration, subject to audit of the
submitted repair orders by the motor vehicle franchiser and
adjustment of the average percentage markup based on that audit. Any
audit must be conducted within 30 days following the declaration.
Only retail sales not involving warranty repairs, parts covered by
subsection (e) of this Section, or parts supplied for routine vehicle
maintenance, shall be considered in calculating average percentage
markup. No motor vehicle franchiser shall require a motor vehicle
franchisee to establish average percentage markup by a methodology,
or by requiring information, that is unduly burdensome or time
consuming to provide, including, but not limited to, part by part or
transaction by transaction calculations. A motor vehicle franchisee
shall not request a change in the average percentage markup more than
twice in one calendar year.
(e) If a motor vehicle franchiser supplies a part or parts for
use in a repair rendered under a warranty other than by sale of that
part or parts to the motor vehicle franchisee, the motor vehicle
franchisee shall be entitled to compensation equivalent to the motor
vehicle franchisee's average percentage markup on the part or parts,
as if the part or parts had been sold to the motor vehicle franchisee
by the motor vehicle franchiser. The requirements of this subsection
(e) shall not apply to entire engine assemblies and entire
transmission assemblies. In the case of those assemblies, the motor
vehicle franchiser shall reimburse the motor vehicle franchisee in
the amount of 30% of what the motor vehicle franchisee would have
paid the motor vehicle franchiser for the assembly if the assembly
had not been supplied by the franchiser other than by the sale of
that assembly to the motor vehicle franchisee.
(f) The obligations imposed on motor vehicle franchisers by this
Section shall apply to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or agent of
the motor vehicle franchiser, any person under common ownership or
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4491
control, any employee of the motor vehicle franchiser, and any person
holding 1% or more of the shares of any class of securities or other
ownership interest in the motor vehicle franchiser, if a warranty or
service or repair plan is issued by that person instead of or in
addition to one issued by the motor vehicle franchiser.

(815 ILCS 710/13) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 763)
Sec. 13. Damages; equitable relief. Any franchisee or motor
vehicle dealer who suffers any loss of money or property, real or
personal, as a result of the use or employment by a manufacturer,
wholesaler, distributor, distributor branch or division, factory
branch or division, wholesale branch or division, or any agent,
servant or employee thereof, of an unfair method of competition or an
unfair or deceptive act or practice declared unlawful by this Act may
bring an action for damages and equitable relief, including
injunctive relief. Where the misconduct is willful or wanton, the
court may award treble damages. A motor vehicle dealer, if it has not
suffered any loss of money or property, may obtain permanent
equitable relief if it can be shown that the unfair act or practice
may have the effect of causing such loss of money or property. Where
the franchisee or dealer substantially prevails the court or
arbitration panel or Motor Vehicle Review Board shall award
attorney's fees and assess costs, including expert witness fees and
other expenses incurred by the dealer in the litigation, so long as
such fees and costs are reasonable, against the opposing party.
Moreover, for the purposes of the award of attorney's fees, expert
witness fees, and costs whenever the franchisee or dealer is seeking
injunctive or other relief, the franchisee or dealer may be
considered to have prevailed when a judgment is entered in its favor,
when a final administrative decision is entered in its favor and
affirmed, if subject to judicial review, when a consent order is
entered into, or when the manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler,
distributor branch or division, factory factor branch or division,
wholesale branch or division, or any officer, agent or other
representative thereof ceases the conduct, act or practice which is
alleged to be in violation of any Section of this Act.

Sec. 29. Procedures for hearing on protest. Upon receipt of a
timely notice of protest under paragraph (6) of subsection (d) or
paragraph (6), (8), or (10) of subsection (e) of Section 4 and
Section 12 of this Act, the Motor Vehicle Review Board shall enter an
order fixing a date (within 60 days of the date of the order), time,
the place of a hearing and send by certified mail, return receipt
requested, a copy of the order to the manufacturer and the objecting
dealer or dealers. Subject to Section 10-20 of the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, the Board shall designate a hearing
officer who shall conduct the hearing. All administrative hearing
officers shall be attorneys licensed to practice law in this State.
At the time and place fixed in the Board's order, the Board or
its duly authorized agent, the hearing officer, shall proceed to hear
the protest, and all parties to the protest shall be afforded an
opportunity to present in person or by counsel, statements,
testimony, evidence, and argument as may be pertinent to the issues.
The hearing officer may continue the hearing date by agreement of the
parties, or upon a finding of good cause, but in no event shall the
hearing be rescheduled more than 90 days after the Board's initial
order.
Upon any hearing, the Board or its duly authorized agent, the
hearing officer, may administer oaths to witnesses and issue
subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses or other persons and the
4492 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
production of relevant documents, records, and other evidence and may
require examination thereon. For purposes of discovery, the Board or
its designated hearing officer may, if deemed appropriate and proper
under the circumstances, authorize the parties to engage in such
discovery procedures as are provided for in civil actions in Section
2-1003 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Discovery shall be completed
no later than 15 days prior to commencement of the proceeding or
hearing. Enforcement of discovery procedures shall be as provided in
the regulations. Subpoenas issued shall be served in the same manner
as subpoenas issued out of the circuit courts. The fees of
subpoenaed witnesses under this Act for attendance and travel shall
be the same as fees of witnesses before the circuit courts of this
State, such fees to be paid when the witness is excused from further
attendance, provided the witness is subpoenaed at the instance of the
Board or an agent authorized by the Board; and payment of fees shall
be made and audited in the same manner as other expenses of the
Board. Whenever a subpoena is issued at the request of a party to a
proceeding, complainant, or respondent, as the case may be, the Board
may require that the cost of service of the subpoena and the fee of
same shall be borne by the party at whose instance the witness is
summoned, and the Board shall have power, in its discretion, to
require a deposit to cover the cost of service and witness fees and
the payment of the legal witness fee and mileage to the witness
served with the subpoena. In any protest before the Board, the Board
or its designated hearing officer may order a mandatory settlement
conference. The failure of a party to appear, to be prepared, or to
have authority to settle the matter may result in any or all of the
following:
(a) The Board or its designated hearing officer may suspend all
proceedings before the Board in the matter until compliance.
(b) The Board or its designated hearing officer may dismiss the
proceedings or any part thereof before the Board with or without
prejudice.
(c) The Board or its designated hearing officer may require all
of the Board's costs to be paid by the party at fault.
Any circuit court of this State, upon application of the Board,
or an officer or agent designated by the Board for the purpose of
conducting any hearing, may, in its discretion, compel the attendance
of witnesses, the production of books, papers, accounts, or
documents, and giving of testimony before the Board or before any
officer or agent designated for the purpose of conducting the
hearing. Failure to obey the order may be punished by the circuit
court as contempt.
A party may conduct cross-examination required for a full and
fair disclosure of the facts. Within 20 days of the date of the
hearing, the hearing officer shall issue his or her proposed decision
to the Board and shall, by certified mail, return receipt requested,
serve the proposed decision upon the parties, with an opportunity
afforded to each party to file exceptions and present a brief to the
Board within 10 days of their receipt of the proposed decision. The
proposed decision shall contain a statement of the reasons for the
decision and each issue of fact or law necessary to the proposed
decision. The Board shall then issue its final order which, if
applicable, shall include the award of attorney's fees, expert
witness fees, and an assessment of costs, including other expenses
incurred in the litigation, if permitted under this Act, so long as
such fees and costs are reasonable.
In a hearing on a protest filed under paragraph (6) of subsection
(d) or paragraph (6), (8), or (10) of Section 4 or Section 12 of this
Act, the manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to establish
that there is good cause for the franchiser to: grant or establish
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4493
an additional franchise or relocate an existing franchise; cancel,
terminate, refuse to extend or renew a franchise or selling
agreement; or change or modify the obligations of the motor vehicle
dealer as a condition to offering a renewal, replacement, or
succeeding franchise or selling agreement or refuse to honor
succession to ownership or refuse to approve a proposed transfer or
sale. The determination whether good cause exists shall be made
under Section 12 of this Act.
The Board shall record the testimony and preserve a record of all
proceedings at the hearing by proper means of recordation. The
notice required to be given by the manufacturer and notice of protest
by the dealer or other party, the notice of hearing, and all other
documents in the nature of pleadings, motions, and rulings, all
evidence, offers of proof, objections, and rulings thereon, the
transcript of testimony, the report of findings or proposed decision
of the hearing officer, and the orders of the Board shall constitute
the record of the proceedings. The Board shall furnish a transcript
of the record to any person interested in the hearing upon payment of
the actual cost thereof.

AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 658 by replacing everything
after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Mechanics Lien Act is amended by changing
Sections 1 and 21 as follows:
(770 ILCS 60/1) (from Ch. 82, par. 1)
Sec. 1. Any person who shall by any contract or contracts,
express or implied, or partly expressed or implied, with the owner of
a lot or tract of land, or with one whom the owner has authorized or
knowingly permitted to contract, to improve the lot or tract of land
or to manage a structure thereon, or to furnish material, fixtures,
apparatus or machinery, forms or form work used in the process of
construction where cement, concrete or like material is used for the
purpose of or in the building, altering, repairing or ornamenting any
house or other building, walk or sidewalk, whether the walk or
sidewalk is on the land or bordering thereon, driveway, fence or
improvement or appurtenances to the lot or tract of land or connected
therewith, and upon, over or under a sidewalk, street or alley
adjoining; or fill, sod or excavate such lot or tract of land, or do
landscape work thereon or therefor; or raise or lower any house
thereon or remove any house thereto, or remove any house or other
4502 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
structure therefrom, or perform any services or incur any expense as
an architect, structural engineer, professional engineer, land
surveyor or property manager in, for or on a lot or tract of land for
any such purpose; or drill any water well thereon; or furnish or
perform labor or services as superintendent, time keeper, mechanic,
laborer or otherwise, in the building, altering, repairing or
ornamenting of the same; or furnish material, fixtures, apparatus,
machinery, labor or services, forms or form work used in the process
of construction where concrete, cement or like material is used, or
drill any water well on the order of his agent, architect, structural

of a parcel of land or a structure for use about the land or
structure, is known under this Act as a contractor, and has a lien
upon the whole of such lot or tract of land and upon adjoining or
adjacent lots or tracts of land of such owner constituting the same
premises and occupied or used in connection with such lot or tract of
land as a place of residence or business; and in case the contract
relates to 2 or more buildings, on 2 or more lots or tracts of land,
upon all such lots and tracts of land and improvements thereon for
the amount due to him for such material, fixtures, apparatus,
machinery, including the amount due to him or her for the equipment
leased, services or labor, and interest at the rate of 10% per annum
from the date the same is due. This lien extends to an estate in
fee, for life, for years, or any other estate or any right of
redemption, or other interest which the owner may have in the lot or
tract of land at the time of making such contract or may subsequently
acquire. The taking of additional security by the contractor or
sub-contractor is not a waiver of any right of lien which he may have
by virtue of this Act, unless made a waiver by express agreement of
the parties and the waiver is not prohibited by this Act. This lien
attaches as of the date of the contract.
(Source: P.A. 86-807; 87-361.)
(770 ILCS 60/21) (from Ch. 82, par. 21)
Sec. 21. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, every mechanic,
worker or other person who shall furnish any materials, apparatus,
machinery or fixtures, or shall lease any equipment, with or without
an operator, or furnish or perform services or labor for the
contractor, or shall furnish any material to be employed in the
process of construction as a means for assisting in the erection of
the building or improvement in what is commonly termed form or form
work where concrete, cement or like material is used in whole or in
part, shall be known under this Act as a sub-contractor, and shall
have a lien for the value thereof, with interest on such amount from
the date the same is due, from the same time, on the same property as
provided for the contractor, and, also, as against the creditors and
assignees, and personal and legal representatives of the contractor,
on the material, fixtures, apparatus or machinery furnished, and on
the moneys or other considerations due or to become due from the
owner under the original contract. If the legal effect of any
contract between the owner and contractor is that no lien or claim
may be filed or maintained by any one and the waiver is not
prohibited by this Act, such provision shall be binding; but the only
admissible evidence thereof as against a sub-contractor or material
man, shall be proof of actual notice thereof to him before any labor
or material is furnished by him; or proof that a duly written and
signed stipulation or agreement to that effect has been filed in the
office of the recorder of the county or counties where the house,
building or other improvement is situated, prior to the commencement
of the work upon such house, building or other improvement, or within
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4503
10 days after the execution of the principal contract or not less
than 10 days prior to the contract of the sub-contractor or material
man. The recorder shall record the same at length in the order of
time of its reception in books provided by him for that purpose, and
the recorder shall index the same, in the name of the contractor and
in the name of the owner, in books kept for that purpose, and also in
the tract or abstract book of the tract, lot, or parcel of land, upon
which the house, building or other improvement is located, and the
recorder shall receive therefor a fee, such as is provided for the
recording of instruments in his office.
It shall be the duty of each subcontractor who has furnished, or
is furnishing, materials or labor for an existing owner-occupied
single family residence, in order to preserve his lien, to notify the
occupant either personally or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to the occupant or his agent of the residence
within 60 days from his first furnishing materials or labor, that he
is supplying materials or labor; provided, however, that any notice
given after 60 days by the subcontractor shall preserve his lien, but
only to the extent that the owner has not been prejudiced by payments
made prior to receipt of the notice. The notification shall include
a warning to the owner that before any payment is made to the
contractor, the owner should receive a waiver of lien executed by
each subcontractor who has furnished materials or labor.
The notice shall contain the name and address of the
subcontractor or material man, the date he started to work or to
deliver materials, the type of work done and to be done or the type
of materials delivered and to be delivered, and the name of the
contractor requesting the work. The notice shall also contain the
following warning:
"NOTICE TO OWNER
The subcontractor providing this notice has performed work for or
delivered material to your home improvement contractor. These
services or materials are being used in the improvements to your
residence and entitle the subcontractor to file a lien against your
residence if the services or materials are not paid for by your home
improvement contractor. A lien waiver will be provided to your
contractor when the subcontractor is paid, and you are urged to
request this waiver from your contractor when paying for your home
improvements."
Such warning shall be in at least 10 point bold face type. For
purposes of this Section, notice by certified mail is considered
served at the time of its mailing.
In no case, except as hereinafter provided, shall the owner be
compelled to pay a greater sum for or on account of the completion of
such house, building or other improvement than the price or sum
stipulated in said original contract or agreement, unless payment be
made to the contractor or to his order, in violation of the rights
and interests of the persons intended to be benefited by this act:
Provided, if it shall appear to the court that the owner and
contractor fraudulently, and for the purpose of defrauding
sub-contractors fixed an unreasonably low price in their original
contract for the erection or repairing of such house, building or
other improvement, then the court shall ascertain how much of a
difference exists between a fair price for labor and material used in
said house, building or other improvement, and the sum named in said
original contract, and said difference shall be considered a part of
the contract and be subject to a lien. But where the contractor's
statement, made as provided in Section 5, shows the amount to be paid
to the sub-contractor, or party furnishing material, or the
sub-contractor's statement, made pursuant to Section 22, shows the
amount to become due for material; or notice is given to the owner,
4504 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
as provided in Sections 24 and 25, and thereafter such sub-contract
shall be performed, or material to the value of the amount named in
such statements or notice, shall be prepared for use and delivery, or
delivered without written protest on the part of the owner previous
to such performance or delivery, or preparation for delivery, then,
and in any of such cases, such sub-contractor or party furnishing or
preparing material, regardless of the price named in the original
contract, shall have a lien therefor to the extent of the amount
named in such statements or notice. In case of default or abandonment
by the contractor, the sub-contractor or party furnishing material,
shall have and may enforce his lien to the same extent and in the
same manner that the contractor may under conditions that arise as
provided for in section 4 of this Act, and shall have and may
exercise the same rights as are therein provided for the contractor.
Any provision in a contract, agreement, or understanding, when
payment from a contractor to a subcontractor or supplier is
conditioned upon receipt of the payment from any other party
including a private or public owner, shall not be a defense by the
party responsible for payment to a claim brought under Section 21,
22, 23, or 28 of this Act against the party. For the purpose of this
Section, "contractor" also includes subcontractor or supplier. The
provisions of Public Act 87-1180 shall be construed as declarative of
existing law and not as a new enactment.

regulation. The failure of a distributor to assent to any amendment,
modification, or change in the terms of a distribution agreement that
impairs, restricts, or eliminates, in whole or in part, the
distribution or delivery rights of a distributor under the
distribution agreement shall not constitute good cause.

Section 10. Legislative declarations; construction; variation by
contract.
(a) The General Assembly makes the following findings and
declarations:
(1) Distributors of soft drink products in the State of
Illinois have been and are required to make substantial capital
investments in plant, property, and equipment in order to fulfill
their obligations under distribution agreements. Distributors
must rely upon the continuing right to sell and distribute soft
drink products to recover their investments and to obtain a
reasonable return on those investments.
(2) Distributorship relationships in the State of Illinois
vitally affect the general economy of the State and the public's
interest in the fair, efficient, and competitive distribution of
soft drink products.
(b) The purposes of this Act are to promote the public's
interest in the fair, efficient, and competitive distribution of soft
drink products by regulation and by the encouragement of suppliers
and distributors of soft drink products to conduct their business
relations toward these ends by:
(1) protecting distributors against unfair treatment by
suppliers in the negotiation, revision, renewal, and cancellation
of distributorships and distribution practices;
4508 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
(2) assuring that distributors are free to manage their
business enterprises;
(3) assuring suppliers and the public of continuing service
from distributors able to devote adequate efforts and resources
to the processing, bottling, canning, distribution, and delivery
of soft drink products as to which they have been granted a
distributorship; and
(4) providing distributors with rights and remedies in
addition to those existing by contract or at common law.
This Act shall be liberally construed and applied to promote its
underlying purposes.
(c) Any contract or agreement purporting to waive or vary the
provisions of this Act, or purporting to preclude the application of
this Act to any distributorship subject to this Act is void and
unenforceable to that extent.
(d) This Act provides distributors with rights and remedies in
addition to those existing by contract or common law and reaffirms
rights and remedies provided by contract or common law.
(e) In accordance with Section 1.31 of the Statute on Statutes,
the provisions of this Act are severable. If any provision of this
Act, or the application of any provision of this Act to any person or
circumstance, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other
provisions or applications of this Act which can be given effect
without the invalid provision or application, and the application of
this Act to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it
is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.
Section 15. Cancellation and alteration of distributorships.
(a) No supplier, directly or through any officer, agent,
employee, or representative, shall:
(1) cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate a
distribution agreement without good cause to do so;
(2) unilaterally impose any amendment, modification, or
change in the terms of a distribution agreement;
(3) fail to exercise good faith in the negotiation of any
amendment, modification, or change in the terms of a distribution
agreement, engage in retaliatory conduct against a distributor
for the exercise of a legal right, or otherwise fail to exercise
good faith in its dealings with a distributor;
(4) discriminate in pricing, fees, charges or other terms
of the distributorship against any distributor that withholds its
assent to any amendment, modification, or change in the terms of
a distribution agreement;
(5) restrict or inhibit, directly or indirectly, the right
of free association among distributors for any lawful purpose;
(6) fail, without good cause, to offer a distributor the
right, within its geographic territory, to (i) directly or
through a cooperative or association of which the distributor is
a member, bottle or can any new soft drink beverages introduced
by the supplier and process any new soft drink beverage
concentrate into beverage syrup, and (ii) sell, distribute, and
deliver such soft drink beverages or soft drink beverage syrup
under trademarks owned or licensed by the supplier or offer a
distributor such right on terms and conditions less favorable
than such right is offered to any other distributor of the
supplier, including any distributor owned in whole or in part by
the supplier.
(b) No supplier who, pursuant to a distribution agreement, has
granted a person the exclusive right in a generally defined
geographic area to (i) directly or through a cooperative or
association of which the person is a member, bottle or can one or
more soft drink beverages, or process soft drink beverage concentrate
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4509
into beverage syrup, and (ii) sell, distribute, or deliver such soft
drink beverages or soft drink beverage syrup under trademarks owned
or licensed by the supplier, shall, directly or through any officer,
agent, employee, or representative, enter into an agreement
authorizing, permitting, contemplating, or providing for the exercise
of any of such rights in the same geographic area by any other
person.
Section 20. Notice of cancellation.
(a) Except as hereinafter provided in subsection (c), no
supplier may cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate a
distribution agreement unless the supplier furnishes prior

provide the distributor a reasonable period of time, in no event less
than 60 days from the date of delivery or posting of the notice,
within which to cure any claimed deficiency. If the reason for
cancellation, nonrenewal, or other termination is nonpayment of sums
due under the distributorship, the notification shall be sent not
less than 30 days before the date on which the supplier intends to
cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate the distribution
agreement, and the distributor shall have 30 days from the date of
delivery or posting of the notice within which to cure the default.
If the deficiency is cured within the applicable period, the notice
shall be void.

creditors or similar disposition of substantially all of the
assets of the distributor's business;
(2) the insolvency of the distributor or the institution of
proceedings in bankruptcy by or against the distributor; or
(3) the dissolution or liquidation of the distributor.
Section 25. Transfer of business assets and stock. No supplier,
directly or through any officer, agent, employee or representative,
shall:
(a) unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, if requested by
a distributor, to any assignment, sale, transfer, or other

assets, or stock, or of the beneficial ownership or control of a
distributor, or (ii) the stock, beneficial ownership, or control of

4510 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
a distributor, to any assignment, sale, or transfer to the
distributor of all or any portion of the business, assets, or stock

through a cooperative or association of which the person is a member,
bottle or can one or more soft drink beverages or process soft drink
beverage concentrate into beverage syrup, and (ii) sell, distribute,
or deliver soft drink beverages or soft drink beverage syrup under
trademarks owned or licensed by the supplier, where the distributor
and such other person have freely negotiated such an assignment,
sale, or transfer.

other ownership interest in a distributor, shall (i) pay the
distributor the fair market value of that portion of the
distributor's business that the supplier has cancelled, failed to
renew, or otherwise terminated, or (ii) pay the distributor or other
aggrieved person the fair market value of that portion of the
business, assets, stock, or other ownership interest sought to be
assigned, transferred, or sold. Fair market value shall include, but
shall not be limited to, the value of the goodwill associated with
the business, assets, stock, or other ownership interest valued
hereunder, and such fair market value shall be determined without
regard to any marketability, minority interest, or other similar
discount or reduction.
(b) If a supplier and a distributor or other aggrieved person
are unable to agree on the reasonable compensation to be paid under
subsection (a), any such party may maintain a civil suit as provided
in Section 35 of this Act or the matter may, by mutual agreement of
the parties, be submitted to arbitration or mediation. Unless the
parties otherwise agree, the costs of arbitration shall be shared
equally by the parties.
(c) No distributorship agreement may require the distributor to
pay more than half the costs of arbitration or mediation or require
arbitration or mediation to be conducted outside this State.
Section 35. Judicial remedies.
(a) It shall be an affirmative defense in an action between the
parties to a distributorship agreement that good cause existed for a
supplier to cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate the
distributorship agreement at issue.
(b) If a supplier engages in any of the practices prohibited by
Section 15 of this Act or violates any of the provisions of Sections
20, 25, or 30 of this Act, any aggrieved distributor or other
aggrieved person may bring an action against the supplier for damages
sustained by the distributor as a consequence thereof, together with
the actual costs and expenses of the action, including reasonable
attorney's fees. The aggrieved distributor or other aggrieved person
also may be granted injunctive relief, including injunctive relief
against an unlawful termination, cancellation, nonrenewal, or other
termination of a distribution agreement. The remedies provided in
this subsection (b) are cumulative with all other remedies available
to an aggrieved distributor or other aggrieved person, including but
not limited to the remedies provided for in subsections (c), (d) and
(e) of this Section.
(c) Upon proper application to the court, a supplier,
distributor, or other aggrieved person may bring an action to
determine reasonable compensation under Section 30 of this Act.
(d) A supplier, distributor, or other aggrieved person may bring
an action for a declaratory judgment to determine any controversy
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4511
arising under this Act or out of the distributorship relationship.
(e) If, in any action brought pursuant to this Act, a finding is
made that a party has not acted in good faith with respect to any
other party to a distribution agreement, an appropriate penalty shall
be assessed against that party and, in addition, that party shall
also be ordered to pay the actual costs and expenses of the action,
including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the other party.
(f) Any action brought pursuant to this Act shall be brought in
a court of this State or in a federal court in this State vested with
jurisdiction over the controversy. Venue in any such action shall be
in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure or Title 28 of the
U.S. Code, as the case may be, provided that in any action brought in
a court of this State, venue also shall exist in any county in which
the distributorship is located.
(g) Nothing in this Act shall (i) prohibit the parties to any
dispute from agreeing to arbitrate the dispute or to submit the
dispute to mediation or (ii) prohibit the enforcement of any
arbitration or mediation agreement in accordance with applicable
Illinois law. In any such arbitration or mediation, the definitions
and substantive provisions of this Act shall apply and the arbitrator
or mediator may afford the remedies provided for by this Act.
Section 40. Application of this Act. This Act shall govern all
relations between suppliers and distributors to the fullest extent
consistent with the constitutions of this State and of the United
States. All provisions of this Act which are declarative of or
clarify existing law, including the provisions of Section 15(a)(3) of
this Act, apply to all agreements between a supplier and a
distributor whether those agreements were entered into before or
after the effective date of this Act. In addition, this Act shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, apply (i) to conduct
occurring after the effective date of this Act, whether or not such
conduct relates to a distribution agreement entered into before the
effective date of this Act, and (ii) to distribution agreements
entered into or amended after the effective date of this Act,
including any renewal of a distribution agreement in existence on or
before the effective date of this Act. Renewal of a distribution
agreement with a designated term or duration shall mean (i) the
establishment of a new term or duration, (ii) an extension of the
distribution agreement on any other basis, or (iii) the shipment of
soft drink concentrate or syrup to the distributor after the
expiration of the designated term or duration. Renewal of a
distribution agreement that provides for a month to month, year to
year, or other periodic term or duration, shall mean (i) the
continuation of the distributorship into the next month, year, or
other period commencing after the effective date of this Act, (ii) an
extension of the distribution agreement on any other basis, or (iii)
the shipment of soft drink concentrate or syrup to a distributor
after the expiration of the month, year, or other period of the
distribution agreement. Renewal of any distribution agreement that
does not have a designated term or duration, or that is terminable at
will or upon notice, shall mean the shipment of soft drink
concentrate or syrup to a distributor after the effective date of
this Act.

Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1134 as follows:
on page 7, immediately below line 6, by inserting the following:
"(5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements set
forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased by an
amount equal to the general State aid that would have been received
by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by utilizing the
Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation as calculated in
paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less the general State aid allotted
for the 1998-1999 school year. This amount shall be deemed a one
time increase, and shall not affect any future general State aid
allocations."; and
on page 12, by replacing lines 21 and 22 with the following:
"Operating Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A)."; and
on page 13, immediately below line 21, by inserting the following:
"(4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for the

This amount shall equal the product of the equalized assessed
valuation used to calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998
school year and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the

of calculating the district's general State aid pursuant to paragraph
(5) of subsection (E), that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the district's Available
Local Resources.".

"AN ACT concerned with home repair and remodeling fraud."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Home
Repair and Remodeling Act.
Section 5. Policy. It is the public policy of this State that
in order to safeguard the life, health, property, and public welfare
of its citizens, the business of home repair and remodeling is a
matter affecting the public interest. The General Assembly
recognizes that improved communications and accurate representations
between persons engaged in the business of making home repairs or
remodeling and their consumers will increase consumer confidence,
reduce the likelihood of disputes, and promote fair and honest
practices in that business in this State.
Section 10. Definitions. As used in this Act:
"Home repair and remodeling" means the fixing, replacing,
altering, converting, modernizing, improving, or making of an
addition to any real property primarily designed or used as a

or landscaping.

repairs to dwellings containing more than 6 apartments or family
units.
Section 15. Written contract; costs enumerated. Prior to
initiating home repair or remodeling work for over $1,000, a person
engaged in the business of home repair or remodeling shall furnish to
the customer for signature a written contract or work order that
states the total cost, including parts and materials listed with
reasonable particularity and any charge for an estimate. In
addition, the contract shall state the business name and address of
the person engaged in the business of home repair or remodeling. If
the person engaged in the business of home repair or remodeling uses
a post office box or mail receiving service or agent to receive home
repair or remodeling business correspondence, the contract also shall
state the residence address of the person engaged in the business of
home repair or remodeling.
Section 20. Consumer rights brochure. (a) For any contract over
$1,000, any person engaging in the business of home repair and
remodeling shall provide to its customers a copy of the "Home Repair:
Know Your Consumer Rights" pamphlet prior to the execution of any
home repair and remodeling contract. The consumer shall sign and
date an acknowledgment form entitled "Consumer Rights Acknowledgment
Form" that states: "I, the homeowner, have received from the
contractor a copy of the pamphlet entitled 'Home Repair: Know Your
Consumer Rights.'" The contractor or his or her representative shall
also sign and date the acknowledgment form, which includes the name
and address of the home repair and remodeling business. The
acknowledgment form shall be in duplicate and incorporated into the
pamphlet. The original acknowledgment form shall be retained by the
contractor and the duplicate copy shall be retained within the
pamphlet by the consumer.
(b) For any contract for $1,000 or under, any person engaging in
the business of home repair and remodeling shall provide to its
customers a copy of the "Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights"
pamphlet. No written acknowledgment of receipt of the pamphlet is

(c) The pamphlet must be a separate document, in at least 12
point type, and in legible ink. The pamphlet shall read as follows:
"HOME REPAIR: KNOW YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS
As you plan for your home repair/improvement project, it is
important to ask the right questions in order to protect your
investment. The tips in this fact sheet should allow you to protect
yourself and minimize the possibility that a misunderstanding may
occur.
AVOIDING HOME REPAIR FRAUD
Please use extreme caution when confronted with the following warning
signs of a potential scam:
(1) Door-to-door salespersons with no local connections who
offer to do home repair work for substantially less than the market
price.
(2) Solicitations for repair work from a company that lists only
a telephone number or a post-office box number to contact,
particularly if it is an out-of-state company.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4515
(3) Contractors who fail to provide customers references when
requested.
(4) Persons offering to inspect your home for free. Do not
admit anyone into your home unless he or she can present authentic
identification establishing his or her business status. When in
doubt, do not hesitate to call the worker's employer to verify his or
her identity.
(5) Contractors demanding cash payment for a job or who ask you
to make a check payable to a person other than the owner or company
name.
(6) Offers from a contractor to drive you to the bank to
withdraw funds to pay for the work.
CONTRACTS
(1) Get all estimates in writing.
(2) Do not be induced into signing a contract by high-pressure
sales tactics.
(3) Never sign a contract with blank spaces or one you do not
fully understand. If you are taking out a loan to finance the work,
do not sign the contract before your lender approves the loan.
(4) Remember, you have 3 business days from the time you sign
your contract to cancel any contract if the sale is made at your
home. The contractor cannot deprive you of this right by initiating
work, selling your contract to a lender, or any other tactic.
(5) If the contractor does business under a name other than the
contractor's real name, the business must either be incorporated or
registered under the Assumed Business Name Act. Check with the
Secretary of State to see if the business is incorporated or with the
county clerk to see if the business has registered under the Assumed
Business Name Act.
(6) Homeowners should check with local and county units of
government to determine if permits or inspections are required.
(7) Determine whether the contractor will guarantee his or her
work and products.
(8) Determine whether the contractor has the proper insurance.
(9) Do not sign a certificate of completion or make final
payment until the work is done to your satisfaction.
(10) Remember, homeowners should know who provides supplies and
labor for any work performed on your home. Suppliers and
subcontractors have a right to file a lien against your property if
the general contractor fails to pay them. To protect your property,
request lien waivers from the general contractor.
BASIC TERMS TO BE INCLUDED IN A CONTRACT
(1) Contractor's full name, address, and telephone number.
Illinois law requires that persons selling home repair and
improvement services provide their customers with notice of any
change to their business name or address that comes about prior to
the agreed dates for beginning or completing the work.
(2) A description of the work to be performed.
(3) Starting and estimated completion dates.
(4) Total cost of work to be performed.
(5) Schedule and method of payment, including down payment,
subsequent payments, and final payment.
(6) A provision stating the grounds for termination of the
contract by either party. However, the homeowner must pay the
contractor for work completed. If the contractor fails to commence
or complete work within the contracted time period, the homeowner may
cancel and may be entitled to a refund of any down payment or other
payments made towards the work, upon written demand by certified
mail.
Homeowners should obtain a copy of the signed contract and keep
it in a safe place for reference as needed.

prepared within 13 months.
Section 30. Unlawful acts. It is unlawful for any person
engaged in the business of home repairs and remodeling to remodel or
make repairs or charge for remodeling or repair work before obtaining
a signed contract or work order over $1,000. This conduct is
unlawful but is not exclusive nor meant to limit other kinds of
methods, acts, or practices that may be unfair or deceptive.
Section 35. Enforcement.
(a) The Attorney General or the State's Attorney of any county
in this State may bring an action in the name of the people of this
State against any person to restrain and prevent any pattern or
practice violation of this Act. In the enforcement of this Act, the
Attorney General or the State's Attorney may accept an assurance of
voluntary compliance from anyone engaged in any conduct, act, or
practice deemed in violation of this Act. Failure to perform the
terms of any such assurance constitutes prima facie evidence of a
violation of this Act.

Attorney General or the State's Attorney of any county in this State
by the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act shall be
available to him or her for enforcement of this Act, and any
violation of this Act shall constitute a violation of the Consumer
Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
Section 900. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices

AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1778 by replacing the title
with the following:
"AN ACT to amend the Property Tax Code."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Sections 17-5, 17-10, 17-15, 17-20, 17-25, 17-30, 17-35, 31-10,
31-15, 31-25, 31-30, 31-35, 31-45, 31-50, 31-60, and 31-70 and adding
Section 31-47 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/17-5)
Sec. 17-5. Equalization among counties. The Department shall
act as an equalizing authority. It shall examine the abstracts of
property assessed for taxation in the counties and in the assessment
districts in counties having assessment districts, as returned by the
county clerks, and shall equalize the assessments between counties as
provided in this Code. Except as hereinafter provided, the
Department shall lower or raise the total assessed value of property
in each any county as returned by the county clerk, other than
property assessed under Sections 10-110 through 10-140 and 10-170
through 10-200, so that the property will be assessed at 33 1/3% of
its fair cash value.
The Department shall annually determine the percentage
relationship, for each county of the State, between the valuations at
which locally-assessed property, other than property assessed under
the Sections 10-110 through 10-140 and 10-170 through 10-200, as is
listed by assessors and revised by boards of review or boards of
appeal, and the estimated 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of the
property. To make this analysis, the Department shall use property
transfers, property appraisals, and other means as it deems proper
and reasonable.
With the ratio determined for each county, the Department shall
then determine the percentage to be added to or deducted from the
aggregate reviewed assessment on property subject to local assessment
jurisdiction, other than property assessed under the Sections cited
above, to produce a ratio of assessed value to 33 1/3% of the fair
cash value equivalent to 100%.
If the Department determines that there are substantial
differences in the level of assessment among different townships in
the same county, it shall, upon the request of the county executive
or, in counties not having an elected county executive, of the county
board under a resolution adopted by the board, apply separate
township equalization factors determined by the Department, in lieu
of a single equalization factor for the entire county, but this
provision does not apply within any county which elects a county
assessor under Sections 3-45 or 3-50.
(Source: P.A. 84-1343; 88-455.)
(35 ILCS 200/17-10)
Sec. 17-10. Sales ratio studies. The Department shall monitor
the quality of local assessments by designing, preparing and using
ratio studies, and shall use the results as the basis for
equalization decisions. In compiling sales ratio studies, the
Department shall exclude from the reported sales price of any
property any amounts included for personal property and, for sales
occurring through December 31, 1999, shall exclude seller paid
points. The Department shall not include in its sales ratio studies
sales of property which have been platted and for which an increase
in the assessed valuation is restricted by Section 10-30. The
Department shall not include in its sales ratio studies the initial
sale of residential property that has been converted to condominium
property.
When the declaration required under the Real Estate Transfer Tax
Law contains financing information required under Section 31-25, the
4560 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
Department shall adjust sales prices to exclude seller-paid points
and shall adjust sales prices to "cash value" when seller related
financing is used that is different than the prevailing cost of cash.
The prevailing cost of cash for sales occurring on or after January
1, 1992 shall be established as the monthly average 30-year fixed
Primary Mortgage Market Survey rate for the North Central Region as
published weekly by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, as
computed by the Department, or such other rate as determined by the
Department. This rate shall be known as the survey rate. For sales
occurring on or after January 1, 1992, through December 31, 1999,
adjustments in the prevailing cost of cash shall be made only after
the survey rate has been at or above 13% for 12 consecutive months
and will continue until the survey rate has been below 13% for 12
consecutive months. For sales occurring on or after January 1, 2000,
adjustments for seller paid points and adjustments in the prevailing
cost of cash shall be made only after the survey rate has been at or
above 13% for 12 consecutive months and will continue until the
survey rate has been below 13% for 12 consecutive months. The
Department shall not include in its sales ratio studies the initial
sale of residential property that has been converted to condominium
property. The Department shall make public its adjustment procedure
upon request.

(35 ILCS 200/17-15)
Sec. 17-15. Tentative equalization factor. The Department shall
forward to the County Clerk of each county in each year its estimate
of the percentage, established under Section 17-5, to be added to or
deducted from the aggregate of the locally assessed property in that
county, other than property assessed under Sections 10-110 through
10-140 and 10-170 through 10-200. The percentage relationship to be
certified to each county or to the several townships therein by the
Department as provided by Section 17-25 shall be determined by the
ratio between the percentage estimate so made and forwarded, as
provided by this Section, and the level of assessments of the
assessed valuations as made by the assessors and thereafter finally
revised by the board of review or board of appeals of that county.
Such estimate shall be forwarded by the Department to the County
Clerk of any County within 15 days after the chief county assessment
officer files with the Department an abstract of the assessments of
the locally assessed property in the county, as finally revised. The
abstract shall be in substantially the same form as required of the
County Clerk by Sections 9-250 and 9-255 after completion of the
revisions thereafter to be made by the board of review or board of
appeals of the county, except that the abstract shall specify
separately the amount of omitted property, and the amount of
improvements upon property assessed for the first time in that year.
The chief county assessment officer shall forward the abstract to the
Department within 30 days after returning the county assessment books
to the county board of review or board of appeals.

Sec. 17-20. Hearing on tentative equalization factor. The
Department shall, after publishing its tentative equalization factor
and giving notice of hearing to the public in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county, hold a hearing on its estimate not less
than 10 days nor more than 30 days from the date of the publication.
The notice shall state the date and time of the hearing, which shall
be held in either Chicago or Springfield, the basis for the estimate
of the Department, and further information as the Department may
prescribe. The Department shall, after giving a hearing to all
interested parties and opportunity for submitting testimony and
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4561
evidence in support of or adverse to the estimate as the Department
considers requisite, either confirm or revise the estimate so as to
correctly represent the considered judgment of the Department
respecting the estimated percentage to be added to or deducted from
the aggregate assessment of all locally assessed property in the
county except property assessed under Sections 10-110 through 10-140
or 10-170 through 10-200. Within 30 days after the conclusion of the
hearing the Department shall mail to the County Clerk, by certified
mail, its determination with respect to such estimated percentage to
be added to or deducted from the aggregate assessment. The amendment
made by P.A. 77-714 does not apply in any county which elects a
county assessor under Sections 3-45 or 3-50.
(Source: P.A. 86-905; 88-455.)
(35 ILCS 200/17-25)
Sec. 17-25. Application of final equalization factor. The
assessments of all property, other than property assessed under
Sections 10-110 through 10-140 and 10-170 through 10-200, as returned
by the county clerks, shall be equalized by adding to the aggregate
assessed value thereof in every county in which the Department finds
the valuation to be less than 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of the
property, the rate per cent which will raise the aggregate assessed
valuation to 33 1/3% of fair cash value, and by deducting from the
aggregate assessed value thereof, in every county or township in
which the Department finds the valuation to be more than 33 1/3% of
the fair cash value, the rate per cent which will reduce the
aggregate assessed valuation to 33 1/3% of fair cash value.
However, no equalization factor shall be certified by the
Department to raise or reduce the aggregate assessed value of any
county or township in which the aggregate assessed value of property
other than that assessed under the Sections cited above, is more than
99% and less than 101% of 33 1/3% of fair cash value. The amendment
made by P.A. 77-714 does not apply within the jurisdiction of any
county which elects a county assessor under Sections 3-45 or 3-50.
(Source: P.A. 84-1343; 88-455.)
(35 ILCS 200/17-30)
Sec. 17-30. Certification of final equalization factor. When
the Department has completed its equalization of assessments in each
year, it shall certify to each the several county clerk clerks the
percentage finally determined by it to be added to or deducted from
the listed or assessed valuation of property in the county several
counties or townships as returned by the county clerk.

made by it on certified pollution control facilities, low sulfur
dioxide emission coal fueled devices and on property owned or used by
railroad companies operating within this State, along with the
distribution of those railroad assessments among the respective
taxing districts within the counties. The county clerks shall extend
the taxes for all purposes on the amounts so certified, in the same
manner as taxes are extended against other property in the taxing
districts in which the pollution control facilities, low sulfur
dioxide emission coal fueled devices and railroad property are
allocated or distributed.
The amendment made by P.A. 77-714 does not apply within the
jurisdiction of any county which elects a county assessor under
Sections 3-45 or 3-50.

this Section so that the same stamp also provides evidence of the
payment of the county real estate transfer tax and shall include in
the design of the stamp the name of the county and an indication that
the stamp is evidence of the payment of both State and county real
estate transfer taxes. The revenue stamps shall be sold by the
Department to the recorder or registrar of titles who shall cause

Sec. 31-25. Transfer declaration. At the time a deed or trust
document is presented for recordation, there shall also be presented
to the recorder or registrar of titles a declaration, signed by at
least one of the sellers and also signed by at least one of the
buyers in the transaction or by the attorneys or agents for the

AMENDMENT NO. 3. Amend House Bill 1959, AS AMENDED, by replacing
the title with the following:
"AN ACT regarding certain contracts for the delivery of human
services."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Human
Services Delivery Neutrality Agreement Act.
Section 5. Legislative findings and declaration of policy.
(a) The purpose of this Act is to set forth a program to better
provide human services to needy citizens of the State of Illinois.
The State of Illinois enters into reimbursement agreements with,
contracts with, and provides grants to private entities (contractors
and grantees) for the purpose of providing residential and day
treatment services to the mentally ill and developmentally disabled.
The State of Illinois enters into these contracts and provides these
grants to best provide the human services necessary for the care and
development of its neediest citizens.
(b) The General Assembly finds that the needs of its mentally
ill and developmentally disabled citizens cannot be met if the
services provided to them through reimbursement agreements,
contracts, or grant agreements between the State of Illinois and
contractors and grantees are subject to disruption. The General
Assembly further finds that the likelihood of service disruption is
enhanced when contention arises between contractors and grantees and
labor organizations seeking to represent the employees of those
entities. The General Assembly finds that contractors and grantees
that seek to influence their employees with respect to the decision
of those employees to be or not to be represented by a labor
organization, that is contractors and grantees who fail to remain
neutral during periods when labor organizations are seeking to become
the representative of their employees, are most likely to be subject
to strikes, work stoppages, or work disruptions by their employees.
These strikes, work stoppages, or work disruptions have a detrimental
effect on the services being provided to Illinois citizens who are
mentally ill or developmentally disabled.
(c) It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State of
Illinois that, to prevent the disruption of residential and day
treatment services to its mentally ill and developmentally disabled
citizens, the State of Illinois shall require as a condition of any
contract or grant that the contractor or grantee remain neutral, as
set forth in this Act, when a labor organization seeks to become the
representative of their employees with respect to the decision of
those employees to be represented or not to be represented by the
labor organization.
Section 10. Definitions. As used in this Act:
"Contractor or grantee" means an individual or entity other than
the State of Illinois, a State agency, or a political subdivision of
the State of Illinois, which has a reimbursement agreement or
contractual or other relationship with or has received moneys from

treatment services to mentally ill or developmentally disabled
persons, which reimbursement agreement, contract, or grant is funded
in whole or in part by the State of Illinois, or through the Medicaid
program of the State of Illinois. "Contractor" includes a
subcontractor and a contractor of a grantee and any other entity
controlled in whole or in part by the contractor, or an entity in

without allocation of the gross sale price among the items sold, the
application of payments received under the contract shall be
allocated, first to the right to interment, inurnment or entombment,
second to items of cemetery merchandise and cemetery services, unless
some other allocation is clearly provided in the contract.
(g) Any person engaging in pre-need sales who enters into a
combination sale which involves the sale of items covered by a trust
or performance bond requirement and any item not covered by any
entrustment or bond requirement, shall be prohibited from increasing
the gross sales price of those items not requiring entrustment with

4584 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
(Source: P.A. 88-477.)
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming
law, except that the changes to the Illinois Funeral or Burial Funds
Act and the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery Sales Act take effect on
January 1, 2000.".
AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 2081, AS AMENDED, as follows:
in the introductory clause of Section 2, by replacing "changing
Section 1" with "changing Sections 1 and 4a and adding Section 4b";
and
in Section 2, after the last line of Sec. 1, by inserting the
following:
"(225 ILCS 45/4a)
Sec. 4a. Investment of funds.
(a) A trustee shall, with respect to the investment of trust
funds, exercise the judgment and care under the circumstances then
prevailing that persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not in regard to
speculation, but in regard to the permanent disposition of their
funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable safety
of their capital.
(b) The trust shall be a single-purpose trust fund. In the
event of the seller's bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or an adverse judgment, the trust funds shall
not be available to any creditor as assets of the seller or to pay
any expenses of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, but shall be
distributed to the purchasers or managed for their benefit by the
trustee holding the funds. Except in an action by the Comptroller to
revoke a license issued pursuant to this Act and for creation of a
receivership as provided in this Act, the trust shall not be subject
to judgment, execution, garnishment, attachment, or other seizure by
process in bankruptcy or otherwise, nor to sale, pledge, mortgage, or
other alienation, and shall not be assignable except as approved by
the Comptroller. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly are intended to clarify existing law regarding the
inability of licensees to pledge the trust.
(c) Because it is not known at the time of deposit or at the
time that income is earned on the trust account to whom the principal
and the accumulated earnings will be distributed for the purpose of
determining the Illinois income tax due on these trust funds, the
principal and any accrued earnings or losses related to each
individual account shall be held in suspense until the final
determination is made as to whom the account shall be paid. The
beneficiary's estate shall not be responsible for any funeral and
burial purchases listed in a pre-need contract if the pre-need
contract is entered into on a guaranteed price basis.
If a pre-need contract is not a guaranteed price contract, then
to the extent the proceeds of a non-guaranteed price pre-need
contract cover the funeral and burial expenses for the beneficiary,

(4) Prior to the investment, the trustee informs the
Comptroller that trust funds shall be removed from the trust
account to purchase life insurance or a tax-deferred annuity upon
the written consent of the purchaser;

in this Act, unless the pre-need contract is sold on an
irrevocable basis as provided in Section 4 of this Act; and
(6) Notice must be given in writing that the cash surrender

4 and 15 as follows:
(760 ILCS 100/4) (from Ch. 21, par. 64.4)
Sec. 4. Care funds; deposits; investments. Whenever a cemetery
authority owning, operating, controlling or managing a privately
operated cemetery accepts care funds, either in connection with the
sale or giving away at an imputed value of an interment right,
entombment right or inurnment right, or in pursuance of a contract,
or whenever, as a condition precedent to the purchase or acceptance
of an interment right, entombment right or inurnment right, such
cemetery authority requires the establishment of a care fund or a
deposit in an already existing care fund, then such cemetery
4586 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
authority shall execute and deliver to the person from whom received
an instrument in writing which shall specifically state: (a) the
nature and extent of the care to be furnished, and (b) that such care
shall be furnished only in so far as the net income derived from the
amount deposited in trust will permit (the income from the amount so
deposited, less necessary expenditures of administering the trust,
shall be deemed the net income), and (c) that not less than the
following amounts will be set aside and deposited in trust:
1. For interment rights, $1 per square foot of the space
sold or 15% of the sales price or imputed value, whichever is the
greater, with a minimum of $25 for each individual interment
right.
2. For entombment rights, not less than 10% of the sales
price or imputed value with a minimum of $25 for each individual
entombment right.
3. For inurnment rights, not less than 10% of the sales
price or imputed value with a minimum of $15 for each individual
inurnment right.
4. For any transfer of interment rights, entombment rights,
or inurnment rights recorded in the records of the cemetery
authority, excepting only transfers between members of the
immediate family of the transferor, a minimum of $25 for each
such right transferred. For the purposes of this paragraph
"immediate family of the transferor" means the spouse, parents,
grandparents, children, grandchildren, and siblings of the
transferor.
5. Upon an interment, entombment, or inurnment in a grave,
crypt, or niche in which rights of interment, entombment, or
inurnment were originally acquired from a cemetery authority
prior to January 1, 1948, a minimum of $25 for each such right
exercised.
6. For the special care of any lot, grave, crypt, or niche
or of a family mausoleum, memorial, marker, or monument, the full
amount received.
Such setting aside and deposit shall be made by such cemetery
authority not later than 30 days after the close of the month in
which the cemetery authority gave away for an imputed value or
received the final payment on the purchase price of interment rights,
entombment rights, or inurnment rights, or received the final payment
for the general or special care of a lot, grave, crypt or niche or of
a family mausoleum, memorial, marker or monument; and such amounts
shall be held by the trustee of the care funds of such cemetery
authority in trust in perpetuity for the specific purposes stated in
said written instrument. For all care funds received by a cemetery
authority, except for care funds received by a cemetery authority
pursuant to a specific gift, grant, contribution, payment, legacy, or
contract that are subject to investment restrictions more restrictive
than the investment provisions set forth in this Act, and except for
care funds otherwise subject to a trust agreement executed by a
person or persons responsible for transferring the specific gift,
grant, contribution, payment, or legacy to the cemetery authority
that contains investment restrictions more restrictive than the
investment provisions set forth in this Act, the cemetery authority
may, without the necessity of having to obtain prior approval from
any court in this State, designate a new trustee in accordance with
this Act and invest the care funds in accordance with this Section,
notwithstanding any contrary limitation contained in the trust
agreement.
Any such cemetery authority engaged in selling or giving away at
an imputed value interment rights, entombment rights or inurnment
rights, in conjunction with the selling or giving away at an imputed
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4587
value any other merchandise or services not covered by this Act,
shall be prohibited from increasing the sales price or imputed value
of those items not requiring a care fund deposit under this Act with
the purpose of allocating a lesser sales price or imputed value to
items that require a care fund deposit.
In the event any sale that would require a deposit to such
cemetery authority's care fund is made by a cemetery authority on an
installment basis, and the installment contract is factored,
discounted, or sold to a third party, the cemetery authority shall
deposit the amount due to the care fund within 30 days after the
close of the month in which the installment contract was factored,
discounted, or sold. If, subsequent to such deposit, the purchaser
defaults on the contract such that no care fund deposit on that
contract would have been required, the cemetery authority may apply
the amount deposited as a credit against future required deposits.
The trust authorized by this Section shall be a single purpose
trust fund. In the event of the seller's bankruptcy, insolvency, or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or an adverse judgment, the
trust funds shall not be available to any creditor as assets of the
cemetery authority or to pay any expenses of any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding, but shall be retained intact to provide for the
future maintenance of the cemetery. Except in an action by the
Comptroller to revoke a license issued pursuant to this Act and for
creation of a receivership as provided in this Act, the trust shall
not be subject to judgment, execution, garnishment, attachment, or
other seizure by process in bankruptcy or otherwise, nor to sale,
pledge, mortgage, or other alienation, and shall not be assignable
except as approved by the Comptroller. The changes made by this
amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly are intended to clarify
existing law regarding the inability of licensees to pledge the
trust.

"16, and 20 and adding Section 16.5"; and
in Section 10, by replacing all of Sec. 14 with the following:
"(815 ILCS 390/14) (from Ch. 21, par. 214)
Sec. 14. Contract required.
(a) It is unlawful for any seller doing business within this
State to accept sales proceeds, either directly or indirectly by any
means, unless the seller enters into a pre-need sales contract with
the purchaser which meets the following requirements:
(1) A written sales contract shall be executed in duplicate
for each pre-need sale made by a licensee, and a signed copy
given to the purchaser. Each completed contract shall be numbered
and shall contain the name and address of the purchaser and the
seller, the name of the person, if known, who is to receive the
cemetery merchandise, cemetery services or the completed
interment, entombment or inurnment spaces under the contract and
specifically identify such merchandise, services or spaces.
(2) In addition, such contracts must contain a provision in
distinguishing typeface substantially as follows follow:
"Notwithstanding anything in this contract to the contrary,
you are afforded certain specific rights of cancellation and
refund under Sections 18 and 19 of the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery
Sales Act, enacted by the 84th General Assembly of the State of
Illinois".
(3) All pre-need sales contracts shall be sold on a
guaranteed price basis. At the time of performance of the service
or delivery of the merchandise, the seller shall be prohibited
from assessing the purchaser or his heirs or assigns or duly
authorized representative any additional charges for the specific
4588 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
merchandise and services listed on the pre-need sales contract.
Each contract shall clearly disclose that the price of the
merchandise or services is guaranteed and shall contain the following
statement in 12 point bold type:
"THIS CONTRACT GUARANTEES THE BENEFICIARY THE SPECIFIC GOODS AND
SERVICES CONTRACTED FOR. NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES MAY BE REQUIRED. FOR
DESIGNATED GOODS AND SERVICES, ADDITIONAL CHARGES MAY BE INCURRED FOR
UNEXPECTED EXPENSES."
(b) Every pre-need sales contract must be in writing, and no
pre-need sales contract form may be used unless it has previously
been filed with the Comptroller. The Comptroller shall review all
pre-need sales contract forms and, upon written notification to the
seller, shall prohibit the use of contract forms that do not meet the
requirements of this Act. Any use or attempted use of any oral
pre-need sales contract or any written pre-need sales contract in a
form not filed with the Comptroller or in a form that does not meet
the requirements of this Act shall be deemed a violation of this Act.
The Comptroller may by rule develop a model pre-need sales contract
form that meets the requirements of this Act.
(c) To the extent the Rule is applicable, every pre-need sales
contract is subject to the Federal Trade Commission Rule concerning
the Cooling-Off Period for Door-to-Door Sales (16 CFR Part 429).

in Section 10, after the last line of Sec. 15, buy inserting the
following:
"(815 ILCS 390/16) (from Ch. 21, par. 216)
Sec. 16. Trust funds; disbursements.
(a) A trustee shall make no disbursements from the trust fund
except as provided in this Act.
(b) A trustee shall, with respect to the investment of such
trust funds, exercise the judgment and care under the circumstances
then prevailing which persons of prudence, discretion and
intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not in
regard to speculation, but in regard to the permanent disposition of
their funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable
safety of their capital.
The seller shall act as trustee of all amounts received for
cemetery merchandise, services, or undeveloped spaces until those
amounts have been deposited into the trust fund. The seller may
continue to be the trustee of up to $500,000 that has been deposited
into the trust fund, but the seller must retain an independent
trustee for any amount of trust funds in excess of $500,000. A
seller holding trust funds in excess of $500,000 on the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1996 shall have 36 months to retain an
independent trustee for the amounts over $500,000; any other seller
must retain an independent trustee for its trust funds in excess of
$500,000 as soon as may be practical. The Comptroller shall have
the right to disqualify the trustee upon the same grounds as for
refusing to grant or revoking a license hereunder. Upon notice to
the Comptroller, the seller may change the trustee of the trust fund.
(c) The trustee may rely upon certifications and affidavits made
to it under the provisions of this Act, and shall not be liable to
any person for such reliance.
(d) A trustee shall be allowed to withdraw from the trust funds
maintained pursuant to this Act, payable solely from the income
earned on such trust funds, a reasonable fee for all usual and
customary services for the operation of the trust fund, including,
but not limited to trustee fees, investment advisor fees, allocation
fees, annual audit fees and other similar fees. The maximum amount
allowed to be withdrawn for these fees each year shall be the lesser
of 3% of the balance of the trust calculated on an annual basis or
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4589
the amount of annual income generated therefrom.
(e) The trust shall be a single-purpose trust fund. In the
event of the seller's bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or an adverse judgment, the trust funds shall
not be available to any creditor as assets of the seller or to pay
any expenses of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, but shall be
distributed to the purchasers or managed for their benefit by the
trustee holding the funds. Except in an action by the Comptroller to
revoke a license issued pursuant to this Act and for creation of a
receivership as provided in this Act, the trust shall not be subject
to judgment, execution, garnishment, attachment, or other seizure by
process in bankruptcy or otherwise, nor to sale, pledge, mortgage, or
other alienation, and shall not be assignable except as approved by
the Comptroller. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly are intended to clarify existing law regarding the
inability of licensees to pledge the trust.
(f) Because it is not known at the time of deposit or at the
time that income is earned on the trust account to whom the principal
and the accumulated earnings will be distributed, for purposes of
determining the Illinois Income Tax due on these trust funds, the
principal and any accrued earnings or losses relating to each
individual account shall be held in suspense until the final
determination is made as to whom the account shall be paid.

4592 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
residence and continues to be a resident of this State shall be
eligible for Plan coverage if evidence is provided of:
(1) A notice of rejection or refusal to issue substantially
similar individual health insurance coverage for health reasons
by a health insurance issuer; or
(2) A refusal by a health insurance issuer to issue

the applicable Plan rate for which the person is responsible.
A rejection or refusal by a group health plan or health insurance
issuer offering only stop-loss or excess of loss insurance or
contracts, agreements, or other arrangements for reinsurance coverage
with respect to the applicant shall not be sufficient evidence under
this subsection.
b. The board shall promulgate a list of medical or health
conditions for which a person who is either a citizen of the United
States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence and a
resident of this State would be eligible for Plan coverage without

insufficient to allow the board to accept all of the eligible persons
which it projects will apply for enrollment under the Plan, limit or
close enrollment to ensure that the Plan is not over-subscribed and
that it has sufficient resources to meet its obligations to existing
enrollees. The board shall not limit or close enrollment for
federally eligible individuals.
e. A person shall not be eligible for coverage under the Plan
if:
(1) He or she has or obtains other coverage under a group
health plan or health insurance coverage substantially similar to
or better than a Plan policy as an insured or covered dependent
or would be eligible to have that coverage if he or she elected
to obtain it. Persons otherwise eligible for Plan coverage may,
however, solely for the purpose of having coverage for a
pre-existing condition, maintain other coverage only while
satisfying any pre-existing condition waiting period under a Plan
policy or a subsequent replacement policy of a Plan policy.
(1.1) His or her prior coverage under a group health plan
or health insurance coverage, provided or arranged by an employer
of more than 10 employees was discontinued for any reason without

the person's spenddown for purposes of the medical assistance no
grant program, but that person shall not be eligible for any Plan
benefits while that person remains eligible for medical

assistance. If the person continues to receive or be approved to
receive medical assistance through the medical assistance no
grant program at or after the time that requirements for a
preexisting condition are satisfied, the person shall not be
eligible for coverage under the Plan. In that circumstance,
coverage under the plan shall terminate as of the expiration of
the preexisting condition limitation period. Under all other
circumstances, coverage under the Plan shall automatically
terminate as of the effective date of any medical assistance.
(3) Except as provided in Section 15, the person has
previously participated in the Plan and voluntarily terminated
Plan coverage, unless 12 months have elapsed since the person's
latest voluntary termination of coverage.
(4) The person fails to pay the required premium under the
covered person's terms of enrollment and participation, in which
event the liability of the Plan shall be limited to benefits
incurred under the Plan for the time period for which premiums
had been paid and the covered person remained eligible for Plan
coverage.
(5) The Plan has paid a total of $1,000,000 in benefits on
behalf of the covered person.
(6) The person is a resident of a public institution.
(7) The person's premium is paid for or reimbursed under
any government sponsored program or by any government agency or
health care provider, except as an otherwise qualifying full-time
employee, or dependent of such employee, of a government agency
or health care provider.
(8) The person has or later receives other benefits or
funds from any settlement, judgement, or award resulting from any
accident or injury, regardless of the date of the accident or
injury, or any other circumstances creating a legal liability for
damages due that person by a third party, whether the settlement,
judgment, or award is in the form of a contract, agreement, or
trust on behalf of a minor or otherwise and whether the
settlement, judgment, or award is payable to the person, his or
her dependent, estate, personal representative, or guardian in a
lump sum or over time, so long as there continues to be benefits
or assets remaining from those sources in an amount in excess of
$100,000.
(9) Within the 5 years prior to the date a person's Plan
application is received by the Board, the person's coverage under
any health care benefit program as defined in 18 U.S.C. 24,
including any public or private plan or contract under which any
medical benefit, item, or service is provided, was terminated as
a result of any act or practice that constitutes fraud under
State or federal law or as a result of an intentional
misrepresentation of material fact; or if that person knowingly
and willfully obtained or attempted to obtain, or fraudulently
aided or attempted to aid any other person in obtaining, any
coverage or benefits under the Plan to which that person was not
entitled.
f. The board or the administrator shall require verification of
residency and may require any additional information or

not reply.
h. Except under the conditions set forth in subsection g of this
Section, the coverage of any person who ceases to meet the
eligibility requirements of this Section shall be terminated at the
end of the current policy period for which the necessary premiums
have been paid.

specific condition for a maximum period of 12 months from the
effective date of the eligible employee's or dependent's coverage
by way of rider or endorsement. As to employees to whom the
portability of coverage provisions apply, no riders or

business shall not exceed the index rate for any other class of

a small employer for a new rating period shall not exceed the sum
of the following:
(A) the percentage change in the new business premium
rate measured from the first day of the prior rating period
to the first day of the new rating period. In the case of a

rate;
(B) an adjustment, not to exceed 15% annually and
adjusted pro rata for rating periods of less than one year,
due to claim experience, health status, or duration of
coverage of the employees or dependents of the small
employer as determined from the small employer carrier's
rate manual for the class of business; and
(C) any adjustment due to change in coverage or change
in the case characteristics of the small employer as
determined from the small employer carrier's rate manual for
the class of business.
(4) Adjustments in rates for a new rating period due to
claim experience, health status and duration of coverage shall
not be charged to individual employees or dependents. Any such
adjustment shall be applied uniformly to the rates charged for
all employees and dependents of the small employer.

for deliver prior to the effective date of this Act, a premium
rate for a rating period may exceed the ranges set forth in items
(1) and (2) of subsection (a) for a period of 3 years following
the effective date of this Act. In such case, the percentage
increase in the premium rate charged to a small employer for a
new rating period shall not exceed the sum of the following:
(A) the percentage change in the new business premium
rate measured from the first day of the prior rating period
to the first day of the new rating period; in the case of a
class of business into which the small employer carrier is
no longer enrolling new small employes, the small employer
carrier shall use the percentage change in the base premium

percentage basis, the change in the new business premium
rate for the most similar class of business into which the

small employers in a class of business. A small employer carrier
shall treat all health benefit plans issued or renewed in the
same calendar month as having the same rating period.
(7) For the purposes of this subsection, a health benefit
plan that contains a restricted network provision shall not be
considered similar coverage to a health benefit plan that does
not contain such a provision, provided that the restriction of
benefits to network providers results in substantial differences
in claim costs.
(b) A small employer carrier shall not transfer a small employer
involuntarily into or out of a class of business. A small employer

class of business unless such offer is made to transfer all small

characteristics, claim experience, health status or duration of
coverage since issue.
(c) The Director may suspend for a specified period the
application of item (1) of subsection (a) as to the premium rates
applicable to one or more small employers included within a class of
business of a small employer carrier for one or more rating periods

would enhance the efficiency and fairness of the marketplace for
small employer health insurance.

Sec. 1. Definitions. When used in this Act, unless the context
otherwise requires:
A. "Child" means a person under legal age subject to adoption
under this Act.
B. "Related child" means a child subject to adoption where
either or both of the adopting parents stands in any of the following
relationships to the child by blood or marriage: parent,
grand-parent, brother, sister, step-parent, step-grandparent,
step-brother, step-sister, uncle, aunt, great-uncle, great-aunt, or
cousin of first degree. A child whose parent has executed a final
irrevocable consent to adoption or a final irrevocable surrender for
purposes of adoption, or whose parent has had his or her parental
rights terminated, is not a related child to that person, unless the
consent is determined to be void or is void pursuant to subsection O
of Section 10.
C. "Agency" for the purpose of this Act means a public child
welfare agency or a licensed child welfare agency.
D. "Unfit person" means any person whom the court shall find to
be unfit to have a child, without regard to the likelihood that the
child will be placed for adoption. The grounds of unfitness are any
one or more of the following:
(a) Abandonment of the child.
(a-1) Abandonment of a newborn infant in a hospital.
(a-2) Abandonment of a newborn infant in any setting where
the evidence suggests that the parent intended to relinquish his
or her parental rights.
(b) Failure to maintain a reasonable degree of interest,
concern or responsibility as to the child's welfare.
(c) Desertion of the child for more than 3 months next
preceding the commencement of the Adoption proceeding.
(d) Substantial neglect of the child if continuous or
repeated.
(d-1) Substantial neglect, if continuous or repeated, of
any child residing in the household which resulted in the death
of that child.
(e) Extreme or repeated cruelty to the child.
(f) Two or more findings of physical abuse to any children
under Section 4-8 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-21 of
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the most recent of which was
determined by the juvenile court hearing the matter to be
supported by clear and convincing evidence; a criminal conviction
or a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity resulting from
the death of any child by physical child abuse; or a finding of
4610 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
physical child abuse resulting from the death of any child under
Section 4-8 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-21 of the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(g) Failure to protect the child from conditions within his
environment injurious to the child's welfare.
(h) Other neglect of, or misconduct toward the child;
provided that in making a finding of unfitness the court hearing
the adoption proceeding shall not be bound by any previous
finding, order or judgment affecting or determining the rights of
the parents toward the child sought to be adopted in any other
proceeding except such proceedings terminating parental rights as
shall be had under either this Act, the Juvenile Court Act or the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(i) Depravity. Conviction of any one of the following
crimes shall create a presumption that a parent is depraved which
can be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence: (1) first
degree murder in violation of paragraph 1 or 2 of subsection (a)
of Section 9-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or conviction of
second degree murder in violation of subsection (a) of Section
9-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 of a parent of the child to be
adopted; (2) first degree murder or second degree murder of any
child in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; (3) attempt or
conspiracy to commit first degree murder or second degree murder
of any child in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; (4)
solicitation to commit murder of any child, solicitation to
commit murder of any child for hire, or solicitation to commit
second degree murder of any child in violation of the Criminal
Code of 1961; or (5) aggravated criminal sexual assault in
violation of Section 12-14(b)(1) of the Criminal Code of 1961.
There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is depraved
if the parent has been criminally convicted of at least 3
felonies under the laws of this State or any other state, or
under federal law, or the criminal laws of any United States
territory; and at least one of these convictions took place
within 5 years of the filing of the petition or motion seeking
termination of parental rights.
There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is depraved
if that parent has been criminally convicted of either first or
second degree murder of any person as defined in the Criminal
Code of 1961 within 10 years of the filing date of the petition
or motion to terminate parental rights.
(j) Open and notorious adultery or fornication.
(j-1) (Blank).
(k) Habitual drunkenness or addiction to drugs, other than
those prescribed by a physician, for at least one year
immediately prior to the commencement of the unfitness
proceeding.

under this subsection with respect to any child to which that
parent gives birth where there is a confirmed test result that at
birth the child's blood, urine, or meconium contained any amount
of a controlled substance as defined in subsection (f) of Section
102 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or metabolites of
such substances, the presence of which in the newborn infant was
not the result of medical treatment administered to the mother or
the newborn infant; and the biological mother of this child is
the biological mother of at least one other child who was
adjudicated a neglected minor under subsection (c) of Section 2-3
of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(l) Failure to demonstrate a reasonable degree of interest,
concern or responsibility as to the welfare of a new born child
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4611
during the first 30 days after its birth.
(m) Failure by a parent to make reasonable efforts to
correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the
child from the parent, or to make reasonable progress toward the
return of the child to the parent within 9 months after an
adjudication of neglected or abused minor under Section 2-3 of
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or dependent minor under Section
2-4 of that Act. If a service plan has been established as
required under Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act to correct the conditions that were the basis for
the removal of the child from the parent and if those services
were available, then, for purposes of this Act, "failure to make
reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent"
includes the parent's failure to substantially fulfill his or her
obligations under the service plan and correct the conditions
that brought the child into care within 9 months after the
adjudication under Section 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987.
(m-1) Pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, a child
has been in foster care for 15 months out of any 22 month period
which begins on or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1998 unless the child's parent can prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that it is more likely than not
that it will be in the best interests of the child to be returned
to the parent within 6 months of the date on which a petition for
termination of parental rights is filed under the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987. The 15 month time limit is tolled during any period
for which there is a court finding that the appointed custodian
or guardian failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify the
child with his or her family, provided that (i) the finding of no
reasonable efforts is made within 60 days of the period when
reasonable efforts were not made or (ii) the parent filed a
motion requesting a finding of no reasonable efforts within 60
days of the period when reasonable efforts were not made. For
purposes of this subdivision (m-1), the date of entering foster
care is the earlier of: (i) the date of a judicial finding at an
adjudicatory hearing that the child is an abused, neglected, or
dependent minor; or (ii) 60 days after the date on which the
child is removed from his or her parent, guardian, or legal
custodian.
(n) Evidence of intent to forgo forego his or her parental
rights, whether or not the child is a ward of the court, (1) as
manifested by his or her failure for a period of 12 months: (i)
to visit the child, (ii) to communicate with the child or agency,
although able to do so and not prevented from doing so by an
agency or by court order, or (iii) to maintain contact with or
plan for the future of the child, although physically able to do
so, or (2) as manifested by the father's failure, where he and
the mother of the child were unmarried to each other at the time
of the child's birth, (i) to commence legal proceedings to
establish his paternity under the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984
or the law of the jurisdiction of the child's birth within 30
days of being informed, pursuant to Section 12a of this Act, that
he is the father or the likely father of the child or, after
being so informed where the child is not yet born, within 30 days
of the child's birth, or (ii) to make a good faith effort to pay
a reasonable amount of the expenses related to the birth of the
child and to provide a reasonable amount for the financial
support of the child, the court to consider in its determination
all relevant circumstances, including the financial condition of
both parents; provided that the ground for termination provided
4612 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
in this subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available where the
petition is brought by the mother or the husband of the mother.
Contact or communication by a parent with his or her child
that does not demonstrate affection and concern does not
constitute reasonable contact and planning under subdivision (n).
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the ability to visit,
communicate, maintain contact, pay expenses and plan for the
future shall be presumed. The subjective intent of the parent,
whether expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the
foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not
preclude a determination that the parent has intended to forgo
forego his or her parental rights. In making this determination,
the court may consider but shall not require a showing of
diligent efforts by an authorized agency to encourage the parent
to perform the acts specified in subdivision (n).
It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation under
paragraph (2) of this subsection that the father's failure was
due to circumstances beyond his control or to impediments created
by the mother or any other person having legal custody. Proof of
that fact need only be by a preponderance of the evidence.
(o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents, although
physically and financially able, to provide the child with
adequate food, clothing, or shelter.
(p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities
supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist, licensed
clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist of mental
impairment, mental illness or mental retardation as defined in
Section 1-116 of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
Code, or developmental disability as defined in Section 1-106 of
that Code, and there is sufficient justification to believe that
the inability to discharge parental responsibilities shall extend
beyond a reasonable time period. However, this subdivision (p)
shall not be construed so as to permit a licensed clinical social
worker to conduct any medical diagnosis to determine mental
illness or mental impairment.
(q) The parent has been criminally convicted of aggravated
battery, heinous battery, or attempted murder of any child.
(r) The child is in the temporary custody or guardianship
of the Department of Children and Family Services, the parent is
incarcerated as a result of criminal conviction at the time the
petition or motion for termination of parental rights is filed,
prior to incarceration the parent had little or no contact with
the child or provided little or no support for the child, and the
parent's incarceration will prevent the parent from discharging
his or her parental responsibilities for the child for a period
in excess of 2 years after the filing of the petition or motion
for termination of parental rights.
(s) The child is in the temporary custody or guardianship
of the Department of Children and Family Services, the parent is
incarcerated at the time the petition or motion for termination
of parental rights is filed, the parent has been repeatedly
incarcerated as a result of criminal convictions, and the
parent's repeated incarceration has prevented the parent from
discharging his or her parental responsibilities for the child.
(t) A finding that at birth the child's blood, urine, or
meconium contained any amount of a controlled substance as
defined in subsection (f) of Section 102 of the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, or a metabolite of a controlled
substance, with the exception of controlled substances or
metabolites of such substances, the presence of which in the
newborn infant was the result of medical treatment administered
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4613
to the mother or the newborn infant, and that the biological
mother of this child is the biological mother of at least one
other child who was adjudicated a neglected minor under
subsection (c) of Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
after which the biological mother had the opportunity to enroll
in and participate in a clinically appropriate substance abuse
counseling, treatment, and rehabilitation program.
E. "Parent" means the father or mother of a legitimate or
illegitimate child. For the purpose of this Act, a person who has
executed a final and irrevocable consent to adoption or a final and
irrevocable surrender for purposes of adoption, or whose parental
rights have been terminated by a court, is not a parent of the child
who was the subject of the consent or surrender, unless the consent
is void pursuant to subsection O of Section 10.
F. A person is available for adoption when the person is:
(a) a child who has been surrendered for adoption to an

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4615
such child has become available for adoption, provided that such
petition may be filed at a later date by leave of court upon a
showing that the failure to file such petition within such 30 day
period was not due to the petitioners' culpable negligence or their
wilful disregard of the provisions of this Section. In the case of a
child born outside the United States or a territory thereof, if the
prospective adoptive parents of such child have been appointed
guardians of such child by a court of competent jurisdiction in a

petitioner;

Sec. 6. A. Investigation; all cases. Within 10 days after the
filing of a petition for the adoption or standby adoption of a child
other than a related child, the court shall appoint a child welfare
agency approved by the Department of Children and Family Services or
a probation officer of the court, or in Cook County the Court
Services Division of the Cook County Department of Public Aid, or the
Department of Children and Family Services if the court determines
that no child welfare agency is available or that the petitioner is
financially unable to pay for the investigation, to investigate
accurately, fully and promptly, the allegations contained in the
petition; the character, reputation, health and general standing in
the community of the petitioners; the religious faith of the
petitioners and, if ascertainable, of the child sought to be adopted;
and whether the petitioners are proper persons to adopt the child and
whether the child is a proper subject of adoption. The investigation
required under this Section shall include a criminal background check
with a review of fingerprints by State and federal authorities. The
criminal background check required by this Section shall include a
listing of when, where and by whom the criminal background check was
prepared. The criminal background check required by this Section
shall not be more than two years old.
Neither a clerk of the circuit court nor a judge may require that
a criminal background check or fingerprint review be filed with, or
at the same time as, an initial petition for adoption.
B. Investigation; foreign-born child. In the case of a child
born outside the United States or a territory thereof, in addition to
the investigation required under subsection (A) of this Section, a
post-placement investigation shall be conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the Child Care Act of 1969, the Interstate
Compact on the Placement of Children, and regulations of the foreign
placing agency and the supervising agency.
The requirements of a post-placement investigation shall be
deemed to have been satisfied if a valid final order or judgment of
adoption has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
country other than the United States or a territory thereof with
respect to such child and the petitioners.
C. Report of investigation. The court shall determine whether
the costs of the investigation shall be charged to the petitioners.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4617
The information obtained as a result of such investigation shall be
presented to the court in a written report. The results of the
criminal background check required under subsection (A) shall be
provided to the court for its review. The court may, in its
discretion, weigh the significance of the results of the criminal
background check against the entirety of the background of the
petitioners. The Court, in its discretion, may accept the report of
the investigation previously made by a licensed child welfare agency,
if made within one year prior to the entry of the judgment. Such
report shall be treated as confidential and withheld from inspection
unless findings adverse to the petitioners or to the child sought to
be adopted are contained therein, and in that event the court shall
inform the petitioners of the relevant portions pertaining to the
adverse findings. In no event shall any facts set forth in the report
be considered at the hearing of the proceeding, unless established by
competent evidence. The report shall be filed with the record of the
proceeding. If the file relating to the proceeding is not impounded,
the report shall be impounded by the clerk of the court and shall be
made available for inspection only upon order of the court.
D. Related adoption. Such investigation shall not be made when
the petition seeks to adopt a related child or an adult unless the
court, in its discretion, shall so order. In such an event the court
may appoint a person deemed competent by the court.

upon diligent inquiry his place of residence cannot be ascertained,
the clerk shall cause publication to be made in some newspaper
published in the county in which the action is pending. If there is

including a minor, executed and acknowledged in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 of this Act, or a surrender of a child by a
parent, including a minor, to an agency for the purpose of adoption
shall be irrevocable unless it shall have been obtained by fraud or
duress on the part of the person before whom such consent, surrender,
or other document equivalent to a surrender is acknowledged pursuant
to the provisions of Section 10 of this Act or on the part of the
adopting parents or their agents and a court of competent
jurisdiction shall so find. No action to void or revoke a consent to
or surrender for adoption, including an action based on fraud or
duress, may be commenced after 12 months from the date the consent or

(750 ILCS 50/13) (from Ch. 40, par. 1516)
Sec. 13. Interim order. As soon as practicable after the filing
of a petition for adoption the court shall hold a hearing for the
following purposes:
A. In other than an adoption of a related child or an adoption
through an agency, or of an adult:
(a) To determine the validity of the consent, provided that
the execution of a consent pursuant to this Act shall be prima
facie evidence of its validity, and provided that the validity of
a consent shall not be affected by the omission therefrom of the
names of the petitioners or adopting parents at the time the
consent is executed or acknowledged, and further provided that
the execution of a consent prior to the filing of a petition for
adoption shall not affect its validity.
(b) To determine whether there is available suitable
temporary custodial care for a child sought to be adopted.
B. In all cases except standby adoptions:
(a) The court shall appoint some licensed attorney other
than the State's attorney acting in his or her official capacity
as guardian ad litem to represent a child sought to be adopted.
Such guardian ad litem shall have power to consent to the
adoption of the child, if such consent is required.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4629
(b) The court shall appoint a guardian ad litem for all
named minors or defendants who are persons under legal
disability, if any.
(c) If the petition alleges a person to be unfit pursuant
to the provisions of subparagraph (p) of paragraph D of Section 1
of this Act, such person shall be represented by counsel. If
such person is indigent or an appearance has not been entered on
his behalf at the time the matter is set for hearing, the court
shall appoint as counsel for him either the Guardianship and
Advocacy Commission, the public defender, or, only if no attorney
from the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission or the public
defender is available, an attorney licensed to practice law in
this State.
(d) If it is proved to the satisfaction of the court, after
such investigation as the court deems necessary, that termination
of parental rights and temporary commitment of the child to an
agency or to a person deemed competent by the court, including
petitioners, will be for the welfare of the child, the court may
order the child to be so committed and may terminate the parental
rights of the parents and declare the child a ward of the court
or, if it is not so proved, the court may enter such other order
as it shall deem necessary and advisable.
(e) Before an interim custody order is granted under this
Section, service of summons shall be had upon the parent or
parents whose rights have not been terminated, except as provided
in subsection (f). Reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard
shall be given to the parent or parents after service of summons
when the address of the parent or parents is available. The
party seeking an interim custody order shall make all reasonable
efforts to locate the parent or parents of the child or children
they are seeking to adopt and to notify the parent or parents of
the party's request for an interim custody order pursuant to this
Section.
(f) An interim custody order may be granted without notice
upon presentation to the court of a written petition, accompanied
by an affidavit, stating that there is an immediate danger to the
child and that irreparable harm will result to the child if
notice is given to the parent or parents or legal guardian. Upon
making a finding that there is an immediate danger to the child
if service of process is had upon and notice of hearing is given
to the parent or parents or legal guardian prior to the entry of
an order granting temporary custody to someone other than a
parent or legal guardian, the court may enter an order of
temporary custody which shall expire not more than 10 days after
its entry. Every ex parte custody order granted without notice
shall state the injury which the court sought to avoid by
granting the order, the irreparable injury that would have
occurred had notice been given, and the reason the order was
granted without notice. The matter shall be set down for full
hearing before the expiration of the ex parte order and will be
heard after service of summons is had upon and notice of hearing
is given to the parent or parents or legal guardian. At the
hearing the burden of proof shall be upon the party seeking to
extend the interim custody order to show that the order was
properly granted without notice and that custody should remain
with the party seeking to adopt during the pendency of the
adoption proceeding. If the interim custody order is extended,
the reasons for granting the extension shall be stated in the
order.
C. In the case of a child born outside the United States or a
territory thereof, if the petitioners have previously been appointed
4630 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
guardians of such child by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
country other than the United States or a territory thereof, the
court may order that the petitioners continue as guardians of such
child.
D. In standby adoption cases:
(a) The court shall appoint a licensed attorney other than the
State's Attorney acting in his or her official capacity as guardian
ad litem to represent a child sought to be adopted. The guardian ad
litem shall have power to consent to the adoption of the child, if
consent is required.
(b) The court shall appoint a guardian ad litem for all named
minors or defendants who are persons under legal disability, if any.
(c) The court lacks jurisdiction to proceed on the petition for
standby adoption if the child has a living parent, adoptive parent,
or adjudicated parent whose rights have not been terminated and whose
whereabouts are known, unless the parent consents to the standby
adoption or, after receiving notice of the hearing on the standby
adoption petition, fails to object to the appointment of a standby
adoptive parent at the hearing on the petition.
(d) The court shall investigate as needed for the welfare of the
child and shall determine whether the petitioner or petitioners shall
be permitted to adopt.

7-1-97; 90-349, eff. 1-1-98.)
(750 ILCS 50/13.1 new)
Sec. 13.1. Order for standby adoption.
(a) If it is proved to the satisfaction of the court, after such
investigation as the court deems necessary, that the child's parent
consents to or fails to object to the standby adoption and adoption
by the petitioner will be for the welfare of the child, the court may
enter an order for standby adoption. However, the consenting
terminally ill parent's parental rights may not be terminated until
consent becomes effective.
(b) The order for standby adoption shall be final as to all
findings and shall be followed in the judgment of adoption unless the
court finds by clear and convincing evidence that it is no longer in
the best interest of the child for the adoption to be finalized.
(c) Once the standby adoptive parent receives knowledge of the
death of the terminally ill parent, or the terminally ill parent
requests that a final judgment for adoption be entered, the standby
adoptive parent shall have 60 days to apply for a judgment for
adoption.
(750 ILCS 50/14) (from Ch. 40, par. 1517)
Sec. 14. Judgment.
(a) Prior to the entry of the judgment for order of adoption in
any case other than an adoption of a related child or of an adult,
each petitioner and each person, agency, association, corporation,
institution, society or organization involved in the adoption of the
child, except a child welfare agency, shall execute an affidavit
setting forth the hospital and medical costs, legal fees, counseling
fees, and any other fees or expenditures paid in accordance with the
Adoption Compensation Prohibition Act.
(b) Before the entry of the judgment for adoption, each child
welfare agency involved in the adoption of the child shall file an
affidavit concerning the costs, expenses, contributions, fees,
compensation, or other things of value which have been given,
promised, or received including but not limited to hospital and
medical costs, legal fees, social services, living expenses, or any
other expenses related to the adoption paid in accordance with the
Adoption Compensation Prohibition Act.
If the total amount paid by the child welfare agency is $4,500 or
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4631
more, the affidavit shall contain an itemization of expenditures.
If the total amount paid by the child welfare agency is less than
$4,500, the agency may file an unitemized affidavit stating that the
total amount paid is less than $4,500 unless the court, in its
discretion, requires that agency to file an itemized affidavit.
(c) No affidavit need be filed in the case of an adoption of a
related child or an adult, nor shall an affidavit be required to be
filed by a non-consenting parent, or by any judge, or clerk, involved
in an official capacity in the adoption proceedings.
(d) All affidavits filed in accordance with this Section shall
be under penalty of perjury and shall include, but are not limited
to, hospital and medical costs, legal fees, social services, living
expenses or any other expenses related to the adoption or to the
placement of the child, whether or not the payments are permitted by
applicable laws.
(e) Upon the expiration of 6 months after the date of any
interim order vesting temporary care, custody and control of a child,
other than a related child, in the petitioners, entered pursuant to
this Act, the petitioners may apply to the court for a judgment of
adoption. Notice of such application shall be served by the
petitioners upon the investigating agency or the person making such
investigation, and the guardian ad litem. After the hearing on such
application, at which the petitioners and the child shall appear in
person, unless their presence is waived by the court for good cause
shown, the court may enter a judgment for adoption, provided the
court is satisfied from the report of the investigating agency or the
person making the investigation, and from the evidence, if any,
introduced, that the adoption is for the welfare of the child and
that there is a valid consent, or that no consent is required as
provided in Section 8 of this Act.
(f) A judgment for adoption of a related child, an adult, or a
child as to whose adoption an agency or person authorized by law has
the right of authority to consent may be entered at any time after
service of process and after the return day designated therein.
(f-5) A standby adoption judgment may be entered upon notice of
the death of the terminally ill parent or upon the terminally ill
parent's request that a final judgment for adoption be entered. The
notice must be provided to the court within 60 days after the standby
adoptive parent's receipt of knowledge of death of the terminally ill
parent or the terminally ill parent's request that a final judgment
for adoption be entered. If the court finds that adoption is for the
welfare of the child and that there is a valid consent, including
consent for standby adoption, which is still in effect, or that no
consent is required under Section 8 of the Act, a judgment for
adoption shall be entered unless the court finds by clear and
convincing evidence that it is no longer in the best interest of the
child for the adoption to be finalized.
(g) No special findings of fact or certificate of evidence shall
be necessary in any case to support the judgment.
(h) Only the circuit court that entered the judgment of the
adoption may order the issuance of any contents of the court file or
that the original birth record of the adoptee be provided to any
persons.

Representatives in the passage of a bill of the following title
to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 1383
A bill for AN ACT concerning wireless 9-1-1 service.

"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Wireless
Emergency Telephone Safety Act.
Section 5. Purpose. The General Assembly finds and declares it
is in the public interest to promote the use of wireless 9-1-1 and
wireless enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) service in order to save lives and
protect the property of the citizens of the State of Illinois.
Wireless carriers are required by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to provide E9-1-1 service in the form of automatic
location identification and automatic number identification pursuant
to policies set forth by the FCC.
Public safety agencies and wireless carriers are encouraged to
work together to provide emergency access to wireless 9-1-1 and
wireless E9-1-1 service. Public safety agencies and wireless
carriers operating wireless 9-1-1 and wireless E9-1-1 systems require
adequate funding to recover the costs of designing, purchasing,
installing, testing, and operating enhanced facilities, systems, and
services necessary to comply with the wireless E9-1-1 requirements
mandated by the Federal Communications Commission and to maximize the
availability of wireless E9-1-1 services throughout the State of
Illinois.
The revenues generated by the wireless carrier surcharge enacted
by this Act are required to fund the efforts of the wireless
carriers, emergency telephone system boards, qualified governmental
entities, and the Department of State Police to improve the public
health, safety, and welfare and to serve a public purpose by
providing emergency telephone assistance through wireless
communications.
It is the intent of the General Assembly to:
(1) establish and implement a cohesive statewide emergency
telephone number that will provide wireless telephone users with
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4739
rapid direct access to public safety agencies by dialing the
telephone number 9-1-1;
(2) encourage wireless carriers and public safety agencies
to provide E9-1-1 services that will assist public safety
agencies in determining the caller's approximate location and
wireless telephone number;
(3) grant authority to public safety agencies not already
in possession of the authority to finance the cost of installing
and operating wireless 9-1-1 systems and reimbursing wireless
carriers for costs incurred to provide wireless E9-1-1 services;
and
(4) provide for a reasonable fee on wireless telephone
service subscribers to accomplish these purposes.
Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Emergency telephone system board" means a board appointed by the
corporate authorities of any county or municipality that provides for
the management and operation of a 9-1-1 system within the scope of

agency.
"Qualified governmental entity" means a unit of local government
authorized to provide 9-1-1 services pursuant to the Emergency

absence of an emergency telephone system board, a qualified
governmental entity has not declared its intention for one or more of
its public safety answering points to serve as a primary wireless
9-1-1 public safety answering point for its jurisdiction. The
operator of the statewide wireless emergency 9-1-1 system shall be
the Department of State Police.
"Wireless carrier" means a provider of two-way cellular,
broadband PCS, geographic area 800 MHZ and 900 MHZ Commercial Mobile

"Wireless subscriber" means an individual or entity to whom a
wireless service account or number has been assigned by a wireless
carrier.
Section 15. Wireless emergency 9-1-1 service. The digits
"9-1-1" shall be the designated emergency telephone number within the
wireless system.
(a) Standards. The Illinois Commerce Commission may set
non-discriminatory, uniform technical and operational standards
consistent with the rules of the Federal Communications Commission
for directing calls to authorized public safety answering points.
These standards shall not in any way prescribe the technology or
manner a wireless carrier shall use to deliver wireless 9-1-1 or
wireless E9-1-1 calls and these standards shall not exceed the
requirements set by the Federal Communications Commission. However,
standards for directing calls to the authorized public safety
answering point shall be included. The authority given to the
Illinois Commerce Commission in this Section is limited to setting
standards as set forth herein and does not constitute authority to
regulate wireless carriers.
(b) Wireless public safety answering points. For the purpose of
providing wireless 9-1-1 emergency services, an emergency telephone
system board or, in the absence of an emergency telephone system
board, a qualified governmental entity may declare its intention for
one or more of its public safety answering points to serve as a
primary wireless 9-1-1 public safety answering point for its
jurisdiction by notifying the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce
Commission and the Director of State Police in writing within 6
months after the effective date of this Act or within 6 months after
receiving its authority to operate a 9-1-1 system under the Emergency
Telephone System Act, whichever is later. In addition, 2 or more
emergency telephone system boards or qualified units of local
government may, by virtue of an intergovernmental agreement, provide
wireless 9-1-1 service. The Department of State Police shall be the
primary wireless 9-1-1 public safety answering point for any
jurisdiction not providing notice to the Commission and the
Department of State Police. Nothing in this Act shall require the
provision of wireless enhanced 9-1-1 services.
The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon a joint request from the
Department of State Police and a qualified governmental entity or an
emergency telephone system board, may grant authority to the
emergency telephone system board or a qualified governmental entity
to provide wireless 9-1-1 service in areas for which the Department
of State Police has accepted wireless 9-1-1 responsibility. The
Illinois Commerce Commission shall maintain a current list of all
9-1-1 systems and qualified governmental entities providing wireless
9-1-1 service under this Act.
Any emergency telephone system board or qualified governmental
entity providing wireless 9-1-1 service prior to the effective date
of this Act may continue to operate upon notification as previously
described in this Section. An emergency telephone system board or a
qualified governmental entity shall submit, with its notification,
the date upon which it commenced operating.
(c) Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board. The Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1
Board is created. The Board consists of 7 members appointed by the
Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. It is recommended
that the Governor appoint members from the following: the Illinois
Chapter of the National Emergency Numbers Association, the Illinois
State Police, law enforcement agencies, the wireless
telecommunications industry, an emergency telephone system board in
Cook County (outside the City of Chicago), an emergency telephone
system board in the Metro-east area, and an emergency telephone
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4741
system board in the collar counties (Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Kane, and
Will counties). Members of the Board may not receive any
compensation but may, however, be reimbursed for any necessary
expenditure in connection with their duties.
Except as provided in Section 45, the Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1
Board shall set the amount of the monthly wireless surcharge required
to be imposed under subsection (d) of this Section on all wireless
subscribers in this State. The surcharge may not be more than $0.75
per month per CMRS connection.
The Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board shall report to the General
Assembly by January 1, 2000 on implementing wireless non-emergency
services for the purpose of public safety using the digits 3-1-1.
The Board shall consider the delivery of 3-1-1 services in a 6 county
area, including rural Cook County (outside of the City of Chicago),
and DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Will, and Kane Counties, as well as
counties outside of this area by an emergency telephone system board,
a qualified governmental entity, or private industry. Upon filing
its report, the Board is dissolved.
Section 17. Wireless carrier surcharge.
(a) Except as provided in Section 45, each wireless carrier
shall impose a monthly wireless carrier surcharge per CMRS connection
that either has a telephone number within an area code assigned to
Illinois by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator or has a
billing address in this State. The wireless carrier that provides
wireless service to the subscriber shall collect the surcharge set by
the Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board from the subscriber. The surcharge
shall be stated as a separate item on the subscriber's monthly bill.
The wireless carrier shall begin collecting the surcharge on bills
issued within 90 days after the Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 Board sets
the monthly wireless surcharge. State and local taxes shall not
apply to the wireless carrier surcharge.
(b) Except as provided in Section 45, a wireless carrier shall,
within 45 days of collection, remit, either by check or by electronic
funds transfer, to the State Treasurer of the amount of the wireless
carrier surcharge collected from each subscriber. Of the amounts
remitted under this subsection, the State Treasurer shall deposit
one-third into the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund and two-thirds
into the Wireless Service Emergency Fund.
(c) The first such remittance by wireless carriers shall include
the number of customers by zip code, and the 9-digit zip code if
currently being used or later implemented by the carrier, that shall
be the means by which the Department of Central Management Services
shall determine distributions from the Wireless Service Emergency
Fund. This information shall be updated no less often than every
year. Wireless carriers are not required to remit surcharge moneys
that are billed to subscribers but not yet collected.
Section 20. Wireless Service Emergency Fund; uses. The Wireless
Service Emergency Fund is created as a special fund in the State
treasury. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the Wireless Service
Emergency Fund may only be used for grants for emergency telephone
system boards, qualified government entities, or the Department of
State Police. These grants may be used only for the design,
implementation, operation, maintenance, or upgrade of wireless 9-1-1
or E9-1-1 emergency services and public safety answering points, and
for no other purposes.
The moneys received by the Department of State Police from the
Wireless Service Emergency Fund, in any year, may be used for any
costs relating to the leasing, modification, or maintenance of any
building or facility used to house personnel or equipment associated
with the operation of wireless 9-1-1 or wireless E9-1-1 emergency
services, to ensure service in those areas where service is not
4742 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
otherwise provided.
Moneys from the Wireless Service Emergency Fund may not be used
to pay for or recover any costs associated with public safety agency
equipment or personnel dispatched in response to wireless 9-1-1 or
wireless E9-1-1 emergency calls.
Section 25. Wireless Service Emergency Fund; distribution of
moneys. Within 60 days after the effective date of this Act,
wireless carriers shall submit to the Department of Central
Management Services the number of wireless subscribers by zip code
and the 9-digit zip code of the wireless subscribers, if currently
being used or later implemented by the carrier.
The Department of Central Management Services shall, subject to
appropriation, make monthly proportional grants to the appropriate
emergency telephone system board or qualified governmental entity
based upon the United States Postal Zip Code of the wireless
subscriber's billing address. No matching funds shall be required
from grant recipients.
If the Department of Central Management Service is notified of an
area of overlapping jurisdiction, grants for that area shall be made
based upon reference to an official Master Street Address Guide to
the emergency telephone system board or qualified governmental entity
whose public service answering points provide wireless 9-1-1 service
in that area. The emergency telephone system board or qualified
governmental entity shall provide the Department of Central
Management Services with a valid copy of the appropriate Master
Street Address Guide. The Department of Central Management Services
does not have a duty to verify jurisdictional responsibility.
In the event of a subscriber billing address being matched to an
incorrect jurisdiction by the Department of Central Management
Services, the recipient, upon notification from the Department of
Central Management Services, shall redirect the funds to the correct
jurisdiction. The Department of Central Management Services shall
not be held liable for any damages relating to an act or omission
under this Act, unless the act or omission constitutes gross
negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
In the event of a dispute between emergency telephone system
boards or qualified governmental entities concerning a subscriber
billing address, the Department of Central Management Services shall
resolve the dispute.
The Department of Central Management Services shall maintain
detailed records of all receipts and disbursements and shall provide
an annual accounting of all receipts and disbursements to the Auditor
General.
The Department of Central Management Services shall adopt rules
to govern the grant process.
Section 30. Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund; uses. The
Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund is created as a special fund in
the State treasury. Moneys in the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement
Fund may be used, subject to appropriation, only to reimburse
wireless carriers for all of their costs incurred in complying with
the applicable provisions of Federal Communications Commission
wireless enhanced 9-1-1 service mandates. This reimbursement may
include, but need not be limited to, the cost of designing,
upgrading, purchasing, leasing, programming, installing, testing, and
maintaining necessary data, hardware, and software and associated
operating and administrative costs and overhead.
Section 35. Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund; reimbursement.
To recover costs from the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund, the
wireless carrier shall submit sworn invoices to the Department of
Central Management Services. In no event may any invoice for payment
be approved for (i) costs that are not related to compliance with the
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4743
requirements established by the wireless enhanced 9-1-1 mandates of
the Federal Communications Commission, (ii) costs with respect to
any wireless enhanced 9-1-1 service that is not operable at the time
the invoice is submitted, or (iii) costs of any wireless carrier
exceeding 125% of the wireless emergency services charges remitted to
the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund by the wireless carrier under
Section 17(b)unless the wireless carrier received prior approval for
the expenditures from the Department of Central Management Services.
If in any month the total amount of invoices submitted to the
Department of Central Management Services and approved for payment
exceeds the amount available in the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement
Fund, wireless carriers that have invoices approved for payment shall
receive a pro-rata share of the amount available in the Wireless
Carrier Reimbursement Fund based on the relative amount of their
approved invoices available that month, and the balance of the
payments shall be carried into the following months, and shall
include appropriate interest at the statutory rate, until all of the
approved payments are made.
A wireless carrier may not receive payment from the Wireless
Carrier Reimbursement Fund for its costs of providing wireless
enhanced 9-1-1 services in an area when a unit of local government or
emergency telephone system board provides wireless 9-1-1 services in
that area and was imposing and collecting a wireless carrier
surcharge prior to July 1, 1998.
The Department of Central Management Services shall maintain
detailed records of all receipts and disbursements and shall provide
an annual accounting of all receipts and disbursements to the Auditor
General.
The Department of Central Management Services shall adopt rules
to govern the reimbursement process.
Section 40. Public disclosure. Because of the highly competitive
nature of the wireless telephone industry, a public disclosure of
information about surcharge moneys paid by wireless carriers could
have the effect of stifling competition to the detriment of the
public and the delivery of wireless 9-1-1 services. Therefore, the
Department of Central Management Services, the Department of State
Police, governmental agencies, and individuals with access to that
information shall take appropriate steps to prevent public disclosure
of this information. Information and data supporting the amount and
distribution of surcharge moneys collected and remitted by an
individual wireless carrier shall be deemed exempt information for
purposes of the Freedom of Information Act and shall not be publicly
disclosed. The gross amount paid by all carriers shall not be deemed
exempt and may be publicly disclosed.
Section 45. Continuation of current practices. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Act, a unit of local government or
emergency telephone system board providing wireless 9-1-1 service and
imposing and collecting a wireless carrier surcharge prior to July 1,
1998 may continue its practices of imposing and collecting its
wireless carrier surcharge, but in no event shall that monthly
surcharge exceed $1.25 per commercial mobile radio service (CMRS)
connection or in-service telephone number billed on a monthly basis.
Section 50. Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, in no event shall a unit of local government, the
Department of Central Management Services, the Department of State
Police, or a public safety agency, public safety answering point,
emergency telephone system board, or wireless carrier, or its
officers, employees, assigns, or agents, be liable for any form of
civil damages or criminal liability that directly or indirectly
results from, or is caused by, any act or omission in the
development, design, installation, operation, maintenance,
4744 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
performance, or provision of wireless 9-1-1 or wireless E9-1-1
service, unless the act or omission constitutes gross negligence,
recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
A unit of local government, the Department of Central Management
Services, the Department of State Police, or a public safety agency,
public safety answering point, emergency telephone system board, or
wireless carrier, or its officers, employees, assigns, or agents,
shall not be liable for any form of civil damages or criminal
liability that directly or indirectly results from, or is caused by,
the release of subscriber information to any governmental entity as
required under the provisions of this Act, unless the release
constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional
misconduct.
Section 55. Severability. If any provision of this Act or its
application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
invalidity of that provision or application does not affect other
provisions or applications of this Act that can be given effect
without the invalid application or provision.
Section 60. Home rule. A home rule unit, other than a home rule
municipality having a population in excess of 500,000 that was
imposing its own surcharge on wireless carriers prior to July 1,
1998, may not impose a separate surcharge on wireless 9-1-1 service
in addition to the surcharge imposed on wireless 9-1-1 service under
this Act. This Section is a limitation under subsection (g) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the powers
and functions of home rule units not exercised or performed by the
State.
Section 65. Review. This Act and any regulation established by
a State agency pursuant to this Act shall be reviewed by the Auditor
General prior to October 1, 2001.
Section 70. Repealer. This Act is repealed on April 1, 2005.

A message from the Senate by
Mr. Harry, Secretary:
Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of
Representatives that the Senate has concurred with the House of
Representatives in the passage of a bill of the following title
to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 1769
A bill for AN ACT to amend the Property Tax Code by changing

Together with the attached amendment thereto (which amendment has

to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit:
Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 1769.
Passed the Senate, as amended, May 14, 1999.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1769 by replacing the title
with the following:
"AN ACT to amend certain Acts in relation to real property."; and
by inserting below Section 5 the following:
"Section 10. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by changing
Section 11-31-2 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/11-31-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-31-2)
Sec. 11-31-2. (a) If the appropriate official of any
municipality determines, upon due investigation, that any building or
structure therein fails to conform to the minimum standards of health
and safety as set forth in the applicable ordinances of such
municipality, and the owner or owners of such building or structure
fails, after due notice, to cause such property so to conform, the
municipality may make application to the circuit court for an
injunction requiring compliance with such ordinances or for such
other order as the court may deem necessary or appropriate to secure
such compliance.
If the appropriate official of any municipality determines, upon
due investigation, that any building or structure located within the
area affected by a conservation plan, adopted by the municipality
pursuant to the Urban Community Conservation Act, fails to conform to
the standards and provisions of such plan, and the owner or owners of
such building or structure fails, after due notice, to cause such
property so to conform, the municipality has the power to make
application to the circuit court for an injunction requiring
compliance with such plan or for such other order as the court may
deem necessary or appropriate to secure such compliance.
The hearing upon such suit shall be expedited by the court and
shall be given precedence over all other actions.
If, upon application hereunder, the court orders the appointment
of a receiver to cause such building or structure to conform, such
receiver may use the rents and issues of such property toward
maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of the property prior to and
despite any assignment of rents; and the court may further authorize
the receiver to recover the cost of such maintenance, repair and
rehabilitation by the issuance and sale of notes or receiver's
certificates bearing such interest as the court may fix, and such
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4765
notes or certificates, after their initial issuance and transfer by
the receiver, shall be freely transferable and when sold or
transferred by the receiver in return for a valuable consideration in
money, material, labor or services, shall be a first lien upon the
real estate and the rents and issues thereof, and shall be superior
to all prior assignments of rents and all prior existing liens and
encumbrances, except taxes; provided, that within 90 days of such
sale or transfer for value by the receiver of such note or
certificate, the holder thereof shall file notice of lien in the
office of the recorder in the county in which the real estate is
located, or in the office of the registrar of titles of such county
if the real estate affected is registered under the Registered Titles
(Torrens) Act. The notice of the lien filed shall set forth (1) a
description of the real estate affected sufficient for the
identification thereof, (2) the face amount of the receiver's note or
certificate, together with the interest payable thereon, and (3) the
date when the receiver's note or certificate was sold or transferred
for value by the receiver. Upon payment to the holder of the
receiver's note or certificate of the face amount thereof together
with any interest thereon to such date of payment, and upon the
filing of record of a sworn statement of such payment, the lien of
such certificate shall be released. Unless the lien is enforced
pursuant to subsection (b), the lien may be enforced by proceedings
to foreclose as in the case of mortgages or mechanics' liens, and
such action to foreclose such lien may be commenced at any time after
the date of default. For the purposes of this subsection (a), the
date of default shall be deemed to occur 90 days from the date of
issuance of the receiver's certificate if at that time the
certificate remains unpaid in whole or in part.
In the event a receiver appointed under this subsection (a)
completes a feasibility study which study finds that the property can
not be economically brought into compliance with the minimum
standards of health and safety as set forth in the applicable
ordinances of the municipality, the receiver may petition the court
for reimbursement for the cost of the feasibility study from the
receivership feasibility study and fee fund. The court shall review
the petition and authorize reimbursement from the fund to the
receiver if the court finds that the findings in the feasibility
report are reasonable, that the fee for the feasibility report is
reasonable, and that the receiver is unable to obtain reimbursement
other than by foreclosure of a lien on the property. If the court
grants the petition for reimbursement from the fund and, upon
receiving certification from the court of the amount to be paid, the
county treasurer shall order that amount paid from the fund to the
receiver. If the court grants the petition for reimbursement from
the fund, the court shall also authorize and direct the receiver to
issue a certificate of lien against title. The recorded lien shall be
a first lien upon the real estate and shall be superior to all prior
liens and encumbrances except real estate taxes. The court shall
also order the receiver to reimburse the fund to the extent that the
receiver is reimbursed upon foreclosure of the receiver's lien upon
sale of the property.
In any proceedings hereunder in which the court orders the
appointment of a receiver, the court may further authorize the
receiver to enter into such agreements and to do such acts as may be
required to obtain first mortgage insurance on the receiver's notes
or certificates from an agency of the Federal Government.
(b) In any case where a municipality has obtained a lien
pursuant to subsection (a), the municipality may enforce such lien
pursuant to this subsection (b) in the same proceeding in which the
lien is authorized.
4766 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
A municipality desiring to enforce a lien under this subsection
(b) shall petition the court to retain jurisdiction for foreclosure
proceedings under this subsection. Notice of the petition shall be
served, by certified or registered mail, on all persons who were
served notice under subsection (a). The court shall conduct a hearing
on the petition not less than 15 days after such notice is served.
If the court determines that the requirements of this subsection (b)
have been satisfied, it shall grant the petition and retain
jurisdiction over the matter until the foreclosure proceeding is
completed. If the court denies the petition, the municipality may
enforce the lien in a separate action as provided in subsection (a).
All persons designated in Section 15-1501 of the Code of Civil
Procedure as necessary parties in a mortgage foreclosure action shall
be joined as parties prior to issuance of an order of foreclosure.
Persons designated in Section 15-1501 of the Code of Civil Procedure
as permissible parties may also be joined as parties in the action.
The provisions of Article XV of the Code of Civil Procedure
applicable to mortgage foreclosures shall apply to the foreclosure of
a lien pursuant to this subsection (b), except to the extent that
such provisions are inconsistent with this subsection. However, for
purposes of foreclosures of liens pursuant to this subsection, the
redemption period described in subsection (b) of Section 15-1603 of
the Code of Civil Procedure shall end 60 days after the date of entry
of the order of foreclosure.

Section 15. The Registered Titles (Torrens) Act is amended by
changing Sections 100 and 102 and adding Section 102.3 as follows:
(765 ILCS 35/100) (from Ch. 30, par. 137)
Sec. 100. All sums of money received pursuant to Sections 40, 99,
and 108 of this Act shall be paid by the registrar to the county
treasurer of the county in which the land is situated, for the
purpose of maintaining an indemnity fund under the terms of this Act,
and for the purposes provided for in Sections 102.1, and 102.2, and
102.3. It shall be the duty of the treasurer to invest all of the
fund, including both principal and income, from time to time if not
immediately required for payments of indemnities in accordance with
Division 3-11 and other applicable provisions of the Counties Code.
The county treasurer shall report annually to the county board the
condition and income of the fund and forward a copy of the report to
the registrar.
(Source: P.A. 90-778, eff. 8-14-98.)
(765 ILCS 35/102) (from Ch. 30, par. 139)
Sec. 102. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 102.1, and
102.2, and 102.3 of this Act, the indemnity fund shall be held to
satisfy judgments obtained or claims allowed against the county for
losses or damages as aforesaid. Such claims for damages shall be
presented to the registrar and county board, and such county board is
hereby authorized and empowered to allow or reject the same and to
provide for the payment of such claims as may be allowed. No claims
for such losses or damages shall be allowed and paid by any such
county board unless upon the recommendation of the registrar who
shall be in office at the time the claim shall be allowed. The
county board shall grant or deny such claims in whole or in part
within 60 days from the date of the receipt thereof by the county
board. In the event the county board shall fail to grant or deny
such claims in whole or in part within 60 days from the date of the
receipt thereof, the claims are deemed to be denied. Judicial review
may be had in accordance with Administrative Review Law as heretofore
or hereafter amended.

fee fund. Within 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 91st General Assembly, the county treasurer shall transfer

study and fee fund, a special fund created in the county treasury.
Moneys in the fund shall be used for reimbursements to receivers for
whom the county treasurer has received a certification of
reimbursement due from the circuit court under Section 11-31-2 of the
Illinois Municipal Code.

Illinois listed endangered and threatened species or are likely to
result in the destruction or adverse modification of the designated
essential habitat of such species, which policy shall be enforceable
only by writ of mandamus; and where a State or local agency does so
consult in furtherance of this public policy, such State or local

As part of the program, the Department shall assist the City of

by changing Section 6 as follows:
(35 ILCS 145/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 481b.36)
Sec. 6. Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
before the last day of each calendar month, every person engaged in
the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in this
State during the preceding calendar month shall file a return with
the Department, stating:
1. The name of the operator;
2. His residence address and the address of his principal
place of business and the address of the principal place of
business (if that is a different address) from which he engages
in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel
in this State;
3. Total amount of rental receipts received by him during
the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing or letting
rooms during such preceding calendar month;
4. Total amount of rental receipts received by him during
the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing or letting
rooms to permanent residents during such preceding calendar
month;

6. Gross rental receipts which were received by him during
the preceding calendar month and upon the basis of which the tax
is imposed;
7. The amount of tax due;
8. Such other reasonable information as the Department may
require.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the Department
does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize his returns to be
filed on a quarter annual basis, with the return for January,
February and March of a given year being due by April 30 of such
year; with the return for April, May and June of a given year being
due by July 31 of such year; with the return for July, August and
September of a given year being due by October 31 of such year, and
with the return for October, November and December of a given year
being due by January 31 of the following year.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the Department
does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to be
filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due
by January 31 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the
time within which an operator may file his return, in the case of any
operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4779
responsible for filing returns under this Act, such operator shall
file a final return under this Act with the Department not more than
1 month after discontinuing such business.
Where the same person has more than 1 business registered with
the Department under separate registrations under this Act, such
person shall not file each return that is due as a single return
covering all such registered businesses, but shall file separate
returns for each such registered business.
In his return, the operator shall determine the value of any
consideration other than money received by him in connection with the
renting, leasing or letting of rooms in the course of his business
and he shall include such value in his return. Such determination
shall be subject to review and revision by the Department in the
manner hereinafter provided for the correction of returns.
Where the operator is a corporation, the return filed on behalf
of such corporation shall be signed by the president, vice-president,
secretary or treasurer or by the properly accredited agent of such
corporation.
The person filing the return herein provided for shall, at the
time of filing such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
herein imposed. The operator filing the return under this Section
shall, at the time of filing such return, pay to the Department the
amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1% or $25 per
calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse
the operator for the expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing
and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
Department on request.
There shall be deposited in the Build Illinois Fund in the State
Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of total net
proceeds from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of Section 3. Of the
remaining 60%, $5,000,000 shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund and credited to the Subsidy Account each fiscal year
by making monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of $5,000,000 plus
cumulative deficiencies in such deposits for prior months, and an
additional $8,000,000 shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund and credited to the Advance Account each fiscal year
by making monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of $8,000,000 plus
any cumulative deficiencies in such deposits for prior months. (The
deposits of the additional $8,000,000 during each fiscal year shall
be treated as advances of funds to the Illinois Sports Facilities
Authority for its corporate purposes to the extent paid to the
Authority or its trustee and shall be repaid into the General Revenue
Fund in the State Treasury by the State Treasurer on behalf of the
Authority solely from collections of the tax imposed by the Authority
pursuant to Section 19 of the Illinois Sports Facilities Act, as
amended.)

Senate Amendment No. 4 to HOUSE BILL NO. 2320.
Passed the Senate, as amended, May 14, 1999.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 4. Amend House Bill 2320 as follows:

"AN ACT concerning enterprise zones."; and
on page 1, below line 4, by inserting the following:
"Section 3. The Illinois Enterprise Zone Act is amended by
changing Section 5.3 as follows:
(20 ILCS 655/5.3) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 608)
Sec. 5.3. Certification of Enterprise Zones; Effective date.
(a) Approval of designated Enterprise Zones shall be made by the
Department by certification of the designating ordinance. The
Department shall promptly issue a certificate for each Enterprise
Zone upon its approval. The certificate shall be signed by the
Director of the Department, shall make specific reference to the
designating ordinance, which shall be attached thereto, and shall be
filed in the office of the Secretary of State. A certified copy of
the Enterprise Zone Certificate, or a duplicate original thereof,
shall be recorded in the office of recorder of deeds of the county in
which the Enterprise Zone lies.
(b) An Enterprise Zone shall be effective upon its
certification. The Department shall transmit a copy of the
certification to the Department of Revenue, and to the designating
municipality or county.
Upon certification of an Enterprise Zone, the terms and
provisions of the designating ordinance shall be in effect, and may
not be amended or repealed except in accordance with Section 5.4.
(c) An Enterprise Zone shall be in effect for 20 calendar years,
or for a lesser number of years specified in the certified
designating ordinance. Enterprise Zones shall terminate at midnight
of December 31 of the final calendar year of the certified term,
except as provided in Section 5.4. In Vermilion County, however, an

lesser number of years specified in the certified designating
ordinance. The Whiteside County/Carroll County Enterprise Zone,
however, solely with respect to industrial purposes and uses, shall

be certified by the Department. The Department may also designate up
to 8 additional Enterprise Zones outside the regular application
cycle if warranted by the extreme economic circumstances as
4782 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
determined by the Department. The Department may also designate one
additional Enterprise Zone outside the regular application cycle if
an aircraft manufacturer agrees to locate an aircraft manufacturing
facility in the proposed Enterprise Zone. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act, no more than 89 Enterprise Zones may be
certified by the Department for the 10 calendar years commencing with
1983. The 7 additional Enterprise Zones authorized by Public Act
86-15 shall not lie within municipalities or unincorporated areas of
counties that abut or are contiguous to Enterprise Zones certified

Enterprise Zones (excluding the additional Enterprise Zone which may
be designated outside the regular application cycle) authorized by
Public Act 86-1030 shall not lie within municipalities or
unincorporated areas of counties that abut or are contiguous to
Enterprise Zones certified pursuant to this Section prior to February
28, 1990. In any calendar year, the Department may not certify more

certify Enterprise Zones in each of the 10 calendar years commencing
with 1983. The Department may not certify more than a total of 18
Enterprise Zones located within the same county (whether within
municipalities or within unincorporated territory) for the 10
calendar years commencing with 1983. Thereafter, the Department may
not certify any additional Enterprise Zones, but may amend and
rescind certifications of existing Enterprise Zones in accordance
with Section 5.4.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if (i) the
county board of any county in which a current military base is
located, in part or in whole, or in which a military base that has
been closed within 20 years of the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1998 is located, in part or in whole, adopts a designating
ordinance in accordance with Section 5 of this Act to designate the
military base in that county as an enterprise zone and (ii) the
property otherwise meets the qualifications for an enterprise zone as
prescribed in Section 4 of this Act, then the Department may certify
the designating ordinance or ordinances, as the case may be.

on page 2, below line 10, by inserting the following:
"Section 10. The Public Utilities Act is amended by changing
Section 9-222.1 as follows:
(220 ILCS 5/9-222.1) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 9-222.1)
Sec. 9-222.1. A business enterprise which is located within an
area designated by a county or municipality as an enterprise zone
pursuant to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or located in a
federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone shall be exempt
from the additional charges added to the business enterprise's
utility bills as a pass-on of municipal and State utility taxes under
Sections 9-221 and 9-222 of this Act, to the extent such charges are
exempted by ordinance adopted in accordance with paragraph (e) of
Section 8-11-2 of the Illinois Municipal Code in the case of
municipal utility taxes, and to the extent such charges are exempted
by the percentage specified by the Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs in the case of State utility taxes, provided such
business enterprise meets the following criteria:
(1) it either (i) makes investments which cause the
creation of a minimum of 200 full-time equivalent jobs in
Illinois; (ii) makes investments of at least $175,000,000 which
cause the creation of a minimum of 150 full-time equivalent jobs
in Illinois; or (iii) makes investments which cause the retention

(2) it is either (i) located in an Enterprise Zone
established pursuant to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or (ii)
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4783
it is located in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
Sub-Zone and is designated a High Impact Business by the
Department of Commerce and Community Affairs; and
(3) it is certified by the Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs as complying with the requirements specified in
clauses (1) and (2) of this Section.
The Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall determine
the period during which such exemption from the charges imposed under
Section 9-222 is in effect which shall not exceed 20 years, except in
the case of the Whiteside County/Carroll County Enterprise Zone,
where, solely with respect to industrial purposes and uses, the
exemption period shall not exceed 30 years, and shall specify the
percentage of the exemption from State utility taxes.
The Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall have the
power to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions
of this Section including procedures for complying with the
requirements specified in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section and
procedures for applying for the exemptions authorized under this
Section; to define the amounts and types of eligible investments
which business enterprises must make in order to receive State
utility tax exemptions pursuant to Sections 9-222 and 9-222.1 of this
Act; to approve such utility tax exemptions for business enterprises
whose investments are not yet placed in service; and to require that
business enterprises granted tax exemptions repay the exempted tax
should the business enterprise fail to comply with the terms and
conditions of the certification. However, no business enterprise
shall be required, as a condition for certification under clause (3)
of this Section, to attest that its decision to invest under clause
(1) of this Section and to locate under clause (2) of this Section is
predicated upon the availability of the exemptions authorized by this
Section.
A business enterprise shall be exempt, in whole or in part, from
the pass-on charges of municipal utility taxes imposed under Section
9-221, only if it meets the criteria specified in clauses (1) through
(3) of this Section and the municipality has adopted an ordinance
authorizing the exemption under paragraph (e) of Section 8-11-2 of
the Illinois Municipal Code. Upon certification of the business
enterprises by the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, the
Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall notify the
Department of Revenue of such certification. The Department of
Revenue shall notify the public utilities of the exemption status of
business enterprises from the pass-on charges of State and municipal
utility taxes. Such exemption status shall be effective within 3
months after certification of the business enterprise.

AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 2713, AS AMENDED, by replacing
the title with the following:
"AN ACT concerning payment for medical services, amending named
Acts."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 is
amended by adding Section 6.12 as follows:
(5 ILCS 375/6-12 new)
Sec. 6.12. Payment for services. The program of health benefits
is subject to the provisions of Section 356y of the Illinois
Insurance Code.
Section 10. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by adding
Section 356y and changing Sections 357.9 and 370a as follows:
(215 ILCS 5/356y new)
Sec. 356y. Timely payment for health care services.
(a) This Section applies to insurers, health maintenance
organizations, managed care plans, health care plans, preferred
provider organizations, third party administrators, independent
practice associations, and physician-hospital organizations
(hereinafter referred to as "payors") that provide periodic payments,
which are payments not requiring a claim, bill, capitation encounter
data, or capitation reconciliation reports, such as prospective
capitation payments, to health care professionals and health care
facilities to provide medical or health care services for insureds or
enrollees.
(1) A payor shall make periodic payments in accordance with
item (3). Failure to make periodic payments within the period
of time specified in item (3) shall entitle the health care
professional or health care facility to interest at the rate of
9% per year from the date payment was required to be made to the
date of the late payment, provided that interest amounting to
less than $1 need not be paid. Any required interest payments
shall be made within 30 days after the payment.
(2) When a payor requires selection of a health care
professional or health care facility, the selection shall be
completed by the insured or enrollee no later than 30 days after
enrollment. The payor shall provide written notice of this
requirement to all insureds and enrollees. Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require a payor to select a health
care professional or health care facility for an insured or
enrollee.
(3) A payor shall provide the health care professional or
health care facility with notice of the selection as a health
care professional or health care facility by an insured or
enrollee and the effective date of the selection within 60
calendar days after the selection. No later than the 60th day
following the date an insured or enrollee has selected a health
care professional or health care facility or the date that
selection becomes effective, whichever is later, or in cases of
retrospective enrollment only, 30 days after notice by an
employer to the payor of the selection, a payor shall begin
periodic payment of the required amounts to the insured's or
enrollee's health care professional or health care facility, or
the designee of either, calculated from the date of selection or
the date the selection becomes effective, whichever is later. All
subsequent payments shall be made in accordance with a monthly
periodic cycle.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 4835
independent practice associations and physician-hospital
organizations shall begin making periodic payment of the required
amounts within 60 days after an insured or enrollee has selected a
health care professional or health care facility or the date that
selection becomes effective, whichever is later. Before January 1,
2001, subsequent periodic payments shall be made in accordance with a
60-day periodic schedule, and after December 31, 2000, subsequent
periodic payments shall be made in accordance with a monthly periodic
schedule.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, independent
practice associations and physician-hospital organizations shall make
all other payments for health services within 60 days after receipt
of due proof of loss received before January 1, 2001 and within 30
days after receipt of due proof of loss received after December 31,
2000. Independent practice associations and physician-hospital
organizations shall notify the insured, insured's assignee, health
care professional, or health care facility of any failure to provide
sufficient documentation for a due proof of loss within 30 days after
receipt of the claim for health services.
Failure to pay within the required time period shall entitle the
payee to interest at the rate of 9% per year from the date the
payment is due to the date of the late payment, provided that
interest amounting to less that $1 need not be paid. Any required
interest payments shall be made within 30 days after the payment.
(c) All insurers, health maintenance organizations, managed care
plans, health care plans, preferred provider organizations, and third
party administrators shall ensure that all claims and indemnities
concerning health care services other than for any periodic payment
shall be paid within 30 days after receipt of due written proof of
such loss. An insured, insured's assignee, health care professional,
or health care facility shall be notified of any failure to provide
sufficient documentation for a due proof of loss within 30 days after
receipt of the claim for health care services. Failure to pay within
such period shall entitle the payee to interest at the rate of 9% per
year from the 30th day after receipt of such proof of loss to the
date of late payment, provided that interest amounting to less than
one dollar need not be paid. Any required interest payments shall be
made within 30 days after the payment.
(d) The Department shall enforce the provisions of this Section
pursuant to the enforcement powers granted to it by law.
(e) The Department is hereby granted specific authority to issue
a cease and desist order, fine, or otherwise penalize independent
practice associations and physician-hospital organizations that
violate this Section. The Department shall adopt reasonable rules to
enforce compliance with this Section by independent practice
associations and physician-hospital organizations.
(215 ILCS 5/357.9) (from Ch. 73, par. 969.9)
Sec. 357.9. "TIME OF PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Indemnities payable
under this policy for any loss other than loss for which this policy
provides any periodic payment will be paid immediately upon receipt
of due written proof of such loss. Subject to due written proof of
loss, all accrued indemnities for loss for which this policy provides
periodic payment will be paid .... (insert period for payment which
must not be less frequently than monthly) and any balance remaining
unpaid upon the termination of liability, will be paid immediately
upon receipt of due written proof."
All claims and indemnities payable under the terms of a policy of
accident and health insurance shall be paid within 30 days following
receipt by the insurer of due proof of loss. Failure to pay within
such period shall entitle the insured to interest at the rate of 9
per cent per annum from the 30th day after receipt of such proof of
4836 JOURNAL OF THE [May 14, 1999]
loss to the date of late payment, provided that interest amounting to
less than one dollar need not be paid. An insured or an insured's
assignee shall be notified by the insurer, health maintenance
organization, managed care plan, health care plan, preferred provider
organization, or third party administrator of any failure to provide
sufficient documentation for a due proof of loss within 30 days after
receipt of the claim. Any required interest payments shall be made
within 30 days after the payment.
The requirements of this Section shall apply to any policy of
accident and health insurance delivered, issued for delivery, renewed
or amended on or after 180 days following the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1985. The requirements of this Section also shall
specifically apply to any group policy of dental insurance only,
delivered, issued for delivery, renewed or amended on or after 180
days following the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1987.

Sec. 370a. Assignability of Accident and Health Insurance.
No provision of the Illinois Insurance Code, or any other law,
prohibits an insured under any policy of accident and health
insurance or any other person who may be the owner of any rights
under such policy from making an assignment of all or any part of his
rights and privileges under the policy including but not limited to
the right to designate a beneficiary and to have an individual policy
issued in accordance with its terms. Subject to the terms of the
policy or any contract relating thereto, an assignment by an insured
or by any other owner of rights under the policy, made before or
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1969 is valid for
the purpose of vesting in the assignee, in accordance with any
provisions included therein as to the time at which it is effective,
all rights and privileges so assigned. However, such assignment is
without prejudice to the company on account of any payment it makes
or individual policy it issues before receipt of notice of the
assignment. This amendatory Act of 1969 acknowledges, declares and
codifies the existing right of assignment of interests under accident
and health insurance policies. If an enrollee or insured of an
insurer, health maintenance organization, managed care plan, health
care plan, preferred provider organization, or third party
administrator assigns a claim to a health care professional or health
care facility, then payment shall be made directly to the health care
professional or health care facility including any interest required
under Section 356y of this Code for failure to pay claims within 30
days after receipt by the insurer of due proof of loss. Nothing in
this Section shall be construed to prevent any parties from
reconciling duplicate payments.

maintenance organization to be managed or serviced, and (ii) need not
take into account the effect of the management contract or service
agreement on competition.
(f) Except for small employer groups as defined in the Small

of these records to the Representative and Senator who have
constituents served by the station; and be it further
