Sec. 12-21.5. Child Abandonment.
(a) A person commits the offense of child abandonment when he or
she, as a parent, guardian, or other person having physical custody or
control of a child, without regard for the mental or physical health,
safety, or welfare of that child, knowingly leaves that child who is
under the age of 13 without supervision by a responsible person over
the age of 14 for a period of 24 hours or more, except that a person
does not commit the offense of child abandonment when he or she
relinquishes a child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant
Protection Act.
(b) For the purposes of determining whether the child was left
without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of
that child, the trier of fact shall consider the following factors:
(1) the age of the child;
[April 4, 2001] 54
(2) the number of children left at the location;
(3) special needs of the child, including whether the child
is physically or mentally handicapped, or otherwise in need of
ongoing prescribed medical treatment such as periodic doses of
insulin or other medications;
(4) the duration of time in which the child was left without
supervision;
(5) the condition and location of the place where the child
was left without supervision;
(6) the time of day or night when the child was left without
supervision;
(7) the weather conditions, including whether the child was
left in a location with adequate protection from the natural
elements such as adequate heat or light;
(8) the location of the parent, guardian, or other person
having physical custody or control of the child at the time the
child was left without supervision, the physical distance the child
was from the parent, guardian, or other person having physical
custody or control of the child at the time the child was without
supervision;
(9) whether the child's movement was restricted, or the child
was otherwise locked within a room or other structure;
(10) whether the child was given a phone number of a person
or location to call in the event of an emergency and whether the
child was capable of making an emergency call;
(11) whether there was food and other provision left for the
child;
(12) whether any of the conduct is attributable to economic
hardship or illness and the parent, guardian or other person having
physical custody or control of the child made a good faith effort
to provide for the health and safety of the child;
(13) the age and physical and mental capabilities of the
person or persons who provided supervision for the child;
(14) any other factor that would endanger the health or
safety of that particular child;
(15) whether the child was left under the supervision of
another person.
(d) Child abandonment is a Class 4 felony. A second or subsequent
offense after a prior conviction is a Class 3 felony.

life or health of a child under the age of 18 to be endangered or to
willfully cause or permit a child to be placed in circumstances that
endanger the child's life or health, except that it is not unlawful for
a person to relinquish a child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn
Infant Protection Act.
(b) A violation of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor. A
second or subsequent violation of this Section is a Class 3 felony. A
violation of this Section that is a proximate cause of the death of the
child is a Class 3 felony for which a person, if sentenced to a term of
imprisonment, shall be sentenced to a term of not less than 2 years and
not more than 10 years.

Sec. 2. Any parent, legal guardian or person having the custody of
a child under the age of 18 years, who knowingly or wilfully causes,
aids or encourages such person to be or to become a dependent and
neglected child as defined in section 1, who knowingly or wilfully does
acts which directly tend to render any such child so dependent and
neglected, or who knowingly or wilfully fails to do that which will
directly tend to prevent such state of dependency and neglect is guilty
of the Class A misdemeanor of contributing to the dependency and
55 [April 4, 2001]
neglect of children, except that a person who relinquishes a child in
accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act is not
guilty of that misdemeanor. Instead of imposing the punishment
hereinbefore provided, the court may release the defendant from custody
on probation for one year upon his or her entering into recognizance
with or without surety in such sum as the court directs. The conditions
of the recognizance shall be such that if the defendant appears
personally in court whenever ordered to do so within the year and
provides and cares for such neglected and dependent child in such
manner as to prevent a continuance or repetition of such state of
dependency and neglect or as otherwise may be directed by the court
then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise it shall be of full
force and effect. If the court is satisfied by information and due
proof under oath that at any time during the year the defendant has
violated the terms of such order it may forthwith revoke the order and
sentence him or her under the original conviction. Unless so sentenced,
the defendant shall at the end of the year be discharged. In case of
forfeiture on the recognizance the sum recovered thereon may in the
discretion of the court be paid in whole or in part to someone
designated by the court for the support of such dependent and neglected
child.

Representative Coulson offered the following amendment and moved
its adoption:
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 632
AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 632, AS AMENDED, as follows:
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Abandoned
Newborn Infant Protection Act.
Section 5. Public policy. Illinois recognizes that newborn infants
have been abandoned to the environment or to other circumstances that
may be unsafe to the newborn infant. These circumstances have caused
injury and death to newborn infants and give rise to potential civil or
criminal liability to parents who may be under severe emotional
distress. This Act is intended to provide a mechanism for a newborn
infant to be relinquished to a safe environment and for the parents of
the infant to remain anonymous if they choose and to avoid civil or
criminal liability for the act of relinquishing the infant. It is
recognized that establishing an adoption plan is preferable to
relinquishing a child using the procedures outlined in this Act, but to
reduce the chance of injury to a newborn infant, this Act provides a
safer alternative.
A public information campaign on this delicate issue shall be
implemented to encourage parents considering abandonment of their
newborn child to relinquish the child under the procedures outlined in
this Act, to choose a traditional adoption plan, or to parent a child
themselves rather than place the newborn infant in harm's way.
Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Abandon" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act.
"Abused child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected
Child Reporting Act.
"Child-placing agency" means a licensed public or private agency
that receives a child for the purpose of placing or arranging for the
placement of the child in a foster family home or other facility for
child care, apart from the custody of the child's parents.
"Department" or "DCFS" means the Illinois Department of Children
and Family Services.
"Emergency medical facility" means a freestanding emergency center
or trauma center, as defined in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Systems Act.
"Emergency medical professional" includes licensed physicians, and
[April 4, 2001] 56
any emergency medical technician-basic, emergency medical
technician-intermediate, emergency medical technician-paramedic, trauma
nurse specialist, and pre-hospital RN, as defined in the Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act.
"Fire station" means a fire station within the State that is
staffed with at least one full-time emergency medical professional.
"Hospital" has the same meaning as in the Hospital Licensing Act.
"Legal custody" means the relationship created by a court order in
the best interest of a newborn infant that imposes on the infant's
custodian the responsibility of physical possession of the infant, the
duty to protect, train, and discipline the infant, and the duty to
provide the infant with food, shelter, education, and medical care,
except as these are limited by parental rights and responsibilities.
"Neglected child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act.
"Newborn infant" means a child who a licensed physician reasonably
believes is 72 hours old or less at the time the child is initially
relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical
facility, and who is not an abused or a neglected child.
"Relinquish" means to bring a newborn infant, who a licensed
physician reasonably believes is 72 hours old or less, to a hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility and to leave the infant
with personnel of the facility, if the person leaving the infant does
not express an intent to return for the infant or states that he or she
will not return for the infant. In the case of a mother who gives birth
to an infant in a hospital, the mother's act of leaving that newborn
infant at the hospital (i) without expressing an intent to return for
the infant or (ii) stating that she will not return for the infant is
not a "relinquishment" under this Act.
"Temporary protective custody" means the temporary placement of a
newborn infant within a hospital or other medical facility out of the
custody of the infant's parent.
Section 15. Presumptions.
(a) There is a presumption that by relinquishing a newborn infant
in accordance with this Act, the infant's parent consents to the
termination of his or her parental rights with respect to the infant.
(b) There is a presumption that a person relinquishing a newborn
infant in accordance with this Act:
(1) is the newborn infant's biological parent; and
(2) either without expressing an intent to return for the
infant or expressing an intent not to return for the infant, did
intend to relinquish the infant to the hospital, fire station, or
emergency medical facility to treat, care for, and provide for the
infant in accordance with this Act.
(c) A parent of a relinquished newborn infant may rebut the
presumption set forth in either subsection (a) or subsection (b)
pursuant to Section 55, at any time before the termination of the
parent's parental rights.
Section 20. Procedures with respect to relinquished newborn
infants.
(a) Hospitals. Every hospital must accept and provide all
necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant,
in accordance with this Act.
The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent
for the hospital and its medical personnel and physicians on staff to
treat and provide care for the infant.
The hospital shall be deemed to have temporary protective custody
of a relinquished newborn infant until the infant is discharged to the
custody of a child-placing agency or the Department.
(b) Fire stations and emergency medical facilities. Every fire
station and emergency medical facility must accept and provide all
necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant,
in accordance with this Act.
The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent
for the fire station or emergency medical facility and its emergency
medical professionals to treat and provide care for the infant, to the
57 [April 4, 2001]
extent that those emergency medical professionals are trained to
provide those services.
After the relinquishment of a newborn infant to a fire station or
emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical
facility's personnel must arrange for the transportation of the infant
to the nearest hospital as soon as transportation can be arranged.
If the parent of a new born infant returns to reclaim the child
within 72 hours after relinquishing the child to a fire station or
emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical
facility must inform the parent of the name and location of the
hospital to which the infant was transported.
Section 25. Immunity for relinquishing person.
(a) The act of relinquishing a newborn infant to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility in accordance with this Act does
not, by itself, constitute a basis for a finding of abuse, neglect, or
abandonment of the infant pursuant to the laws of this State nor does
it, by itself, constitute a violation of Section 12-21.5 or 12-21.6 of
the Criminal Code of 1961.
(b) If there is suspected child abuse or neglect that is not based
solely on the newborn infant's relinquishment to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, the personnel of the hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility who are mandated reporters
under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act must report the
abuse or neglect pursuant to that Act.
(c) Neither a child protective investigation nor a criminal
investigation may be initiated solely because a newborn infant is
relinquished pursuant to this Act.
Section 27. Immunity of facility and personnel. A hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, and any personnel of a
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, are immune from
criminal or civil liability for acting in good faith in accordance with
this Act. Nothing in this Act, however, limits a person's liability for
negligence.
Section 30. Anonymity of relinquishing person. If there is no
evidence of abuse or neglect of a relinquished newborn infant, the
relinquishing person has the right to remain anonymous and to leave the
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility at any time and
not be pursued or followed. Before the relinquishing person leaves the
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, the hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility shall offer the
relinquishing person an information packet described in Section 35 of
this Act. However, nothing in this Act shall be construed as precluding
the relinquishing person from providing his or her identity or
completing the application forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and
Medical Information Exchange and requesting that the hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility forward those forms to the
Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical information Exchange.
Section 35. Information for relinquishing person. A hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility that receives a newborn infant
relinquished in accordance with this Act must offer an information
packet to the relinquishing person and, if possible, must clearly
inform the relinquishing person that his or her acceptance of the
information is completely voluntary, that registration with the
Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange is
voluntary, that the person will remain anonymous if he or she completes
a Denial of Information Exchange, and that the person has the option to
provide medical information only and still remain anonymous. The
information packet must include all of the following:
(1) All Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information
Exchange application forms, including the Medical Information
Exchange Questionnaire and the web site address and toll free phone
number of the Registry.
(2) Written notice of the following:
(A) No sooner than 60 days following the date of the
initial relinquishment of the infant to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, the child-placing
[April 4, 2001] 58
agency or the Department will commence proceedings for the
termination of parental rights and placement of the infant for
adoption.
(B) Failure of a parent of the infant to contact the
Department and petition for the return of custody of the
infant before termination of parental rights bars any future
action asserting legal rights with respect to the infant.
(3) A resource list of providers of counseling services
including grief counseling, pregnancy counseling, and counseling
regarding adoption and other available options for placement of the
infant.
Upon request, the Department of Public Health shall provide the
application forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical
Information Exchange to hospitals, fire stations, and emergency medical
facilities.
Section 40. Reporting requirements.
(a) Within 12 hours after accepting a newborn infant from a
relinquishing person or from a fire station or emergency medical
facility in accordance with this Act, a hospital must report to the
Department's State Central Registry for the purpose of transferring
physical custody of the infant from the hospital to either a
child-placing agency or the Department.
(b) Within 24 hours after receiving a report under subsection (a),
the Department must request assistance from law enforcement officials
to investigate the matter using the National Crime Information Center
to ensure that the relinquished newborn infant is not a missing child.
(c) Once a hospital has made a report to the Department under
subsection (a), the Department must provide to the hospital the name of
a licensed child-placing agency. The hospital must then arrange for
the child-placing agency to accept physical custody of the relinquished
newborn infant.
(d) If a relinquished child is not a newborn infant as defined in
this Act, the hospital and the Department must proceed as if the child
is an abused or neglected child.
Section 45. Medical assistance. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this
Act shall be deemed eligible for medical assistance under the Illinois
Public Aid Code, and a hospital providing medical services to such an
infant shall be reimbursed for those services in accordance with the
payment methodologies authorized under that Code. In addition, for any
day that a hospital has custody of a newborn infant relinquished in
accordance with this Act and the infant does not require medically
necessary care, the hospital shall be reimbursed by the Illinois
Department of Public Aid at the general acute care per diem rate, in
accordance with 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.270(c).
Section 50. Child-placing agency procedures.
(a) The Department's State Central Registry must maintain a list
of licensed child-placing agencies willing to take legal custody of
newborn infants relinquished in accordance with this Act. The
child-placing agencies on the list must be contacted by the Department
on a rotating basis upon notice from a hospital that a newborn infant
has been relinquished in accordance with this Act.
(b) Upon notice from the Department that a newborn infant has been
relinquished in accordance with this Act, a child-placing agency must
accept the newborn infant if the agency has the accommodations to do
so. The child-placing agency must seek an order for legal custody of
the infant upon its acceptance of the infant.
(c) In order to secure legal custody, the child-placing agency
shall file a petition seeking custody, alleging that the newborn infant
has been relinquished pursuant to this Act. This petition shall be
filed in the circuit court in the division in which petitions for
adoption would normally be heard. The standard of proof and rules of
evidence in the nature of civil proceedings in this State are
applicable to proceedings under this subsection.
(d) If no licensed child-placing agency is able to accept the
relinquished newborn infant, then the Department must assume
59 [April 4, 2001]
responsibility for the infant as soon as practicable.
(e) A custody order issued under subsection (b) shall remain in
effect until a final adoption order based on the relinquished newborn
infant's best interests is issued in accordance with this Act and the
Adoption Act.
(f) When possible, the child-placing agency must place a
relinquished newborn infant in a prospective adoptive home.
(g) The Department or child-placing agency must initiate
proceedings to (i) terminate the parental rights of the relinquished
newborn infant's known or unknown parents, (ii) appoint a guardian for
the infant, and (iii) obtain consent to the infant's adoption in
accordance with this Act no sooner than 60 days following the date of
the initial relinquishment of the infant to the hospital, fire station,
or emergency medical facility.
(h) Before filing a petition for termination of parental rights,
the Department or child-placing agency must do the following:
(1) Search its Putative Father Registry for the purpose of
determining the identity and location of the putative father of the
relinquished newborn infant who is, or is expected to be, the
subject of an adoption proceeding, in order to provide notice of
the proceeding to the putative father. At least one search of the
Registry must be conducted, at least 30 days after the relinquished
newborn infant's estimated date of birth; earlier searches may be
conducted, however. Notice to any potential putative father
discovered in a search of the Registry according to the estimated
age of the relinquished newborn infant must be in accordance with
Section 12a of the Adoption Act.
(2) Verify with law enforcement officials, using the National
Crime Information Center, that the relinquished newborn infant is
not a missing child.
Section 55. Petition for return of custody.
(a) In compliance with Section 9 of the Adoption Act, if the
parent returns to the hospital, emergency medical facility, or fire
station to reclaim a child within 72 hours after the child's birth, the
provisions of the Adoption Act shall apply, and the abandonment of the
child shall not be considered a relinquishment under this Act. In
cases in which the newborn infant was not born in a hospital or not
born in the hospital where he or she was relinquished, however, the
parent shall be required to undergo genetic testing to confirm that he
or she is the biological parent of the child before the child can be
released by the hospital.
(b) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with
this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant before
the termination of parental rights with respect to the infant.
(c) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with
this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant by
contacting the Department for the purpose of obtaining the name of the
child-placing agency and then filing a petition for return of custody
in the circuit court in which the proceeding for the termination of
parental rights is pending.
(d) If a petition for the termination of parental rights has not
been filed by the Department or the child-placing agency, the parent of
the relinquished newborn infant must contact the Department, which must
notify the parent of the appropriate court in which the petition for
return of custody must be filed.
(e) The circuit court may hold the proceeding for the termination
of parental rights in abeyance for a period not to exceed 60 days from
the date that the petition for return of custody was filed without a
showing of good cause. During that period:
(1) The court shall order genetic testing to establish
maternity or paternity, or both.
(2) The Department shall conduct a child protective
investigation and home study to develop recommendations to the
court.
(3) When indicated as a result of the Department's
investigation and home study, further proceedings under the
[April 4, 2001] 60
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 as the court determines appropriate, may
be conducted. However, relinquishment of a newborn infant in
accordance with this Act does not render the infant abused,
neglected, or abandoned solely because the newborn infant was
relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical
facility in accordance with this Act.
(f) Failure to file a petition for the return of custody of a
relinquished newborn infant before the termination of parental rights
bars any future action asserting legal rights with respect to the
infant unless the parent's act of relinquishment that led to the
termination of parental rights involved fraud perpetrated against and
not stemming from or involving the parent. No action to void or revoke
the termination of parental rights of a parent of a newborn infant
relinquished in accordance with this Act, including an action based on
fraud, may be commenced after 12 months after the date that the newborn
infant was initially relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or
emergency medical facility.
Section 60. Department's duties. The Department must implement a
public information program to promote safe placement alternatives for
newborn infants. The public information program must inform the public
of the following:
(1) The relinquishment alternative provided for in this Act,
which results in the adoption of a newborn infant 72 hours old or
less and which provides for the parent's anonymity if the parent so
chooses.
(2) The alternative of adoption through a public or private
agency, in which the parent's identity may or may not be known to
the agency, but is kept anonymous from the adoptive parents, if the
birth parent so desires, and which allows the parent to be actively
involved in the child's adoption plan.
The public information program may include, but need not be limited
to, the following elements:
(i) Educational and informational materials in print, audio,
video, electronic or other media.
(ii) Establishment of a web site.
(iii) Public service announcements and advertisements.
(iv) Establishment of toll-free telephone hotlines to provide
information.
Section 65. Construction of Act. Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to preclude the courts of this State from exercising their
discretion to protect the health and safety of children in individual
cases. The best interests and welfare of a child shall be a paramount
consideration in the construction and interpretation of this Act. It is
in the child's best interests that this Act be construed and
interpreted so as not to result in extending time limits beyond those
set forth in this Act.
Section 70. Evaluation.
(a) The Department shall collect and analyze information regarding
the relinquishment of newborn infants and placement of children under
this Act. Fire stations, emergency medical facilities, and medical
professionals accepting and providing services to a newborn infant
under this Act shall report to the Department data necessary for the
Department to evaluate and determine the effect of this Act in the
prevention of injury or death of newborn infants. Child-placing
agencies shall report to the Department data necessary to evaluate and
determine the effectiveness of these agencies in providing child
protective and child welfare services to newborn infants relinquished
under this Act.
(b) The information collected shall include, but need not be
limited to: the number of newborn infants relinquished; the outcome of
care for the relinquished newborn infants; the number and disposition
of cases of relinquished newborn infants subject to placement; the
number of children accepted and served by child-placing agencies; and
the services provided by child-placing agencies and the disposition of
the cases of the children placed under this Act.
(c) The Department shall submit a report by January 1, 2002, and
61 [April 4, 2001]
on January 1 of each year thereafter, to the Governor and General
Assembly regarding the prevention of injury or death of newborn infants
and the effect of placements of children under this Act. The report
shall include, but need not be limited to, a summary of collected data,
an analysis of the data and conclusions regarding the Act's
effectiveness, a determination whether the purposes of the Act are
being achieved, and recommendations for changes that may be considered
necessary to improve the administration and enforcement of this Act.

home of his parents or other relatives at the time the proceedings were
initiated, or within 6 months prior to the month of initiation, and
would have received aid in and for that month if application had been
made therefor.
(b) The Illinois Department may, by rule, establish those persons

Section 96.5. The Neglected Children Offense Act is amended by
changing Section 2 as follows:
(720 ILCS 130/2) (from Ch. 23, par. 2361)
Sec. 2. Any parent, legal guardian or person having the custody of
a child under the age of 18 years, who knowingly or wilfully causes,
aids or encourages such person to be or to become a dependent and
neglected child as defined in section 1, who knowingly or wilfully does
acts which directly tend to render any such child so dependent and
neglected, or who knowingly or wilfully fails to do that which will
directly tend to prevent such state of dependency and neglect is guilty
of the Class A misdemeanor of contributing to the dependency and
neglect of children, except that a person who relinquishes a child in
accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act is not
guilty of that misdemeanor. Instead of imposing the punishment
hereinbefore provided, the court may release the defendant from custody
on probation for one year upon his or her entering into recognizance
with or without surety in such sum as the court directs. The conditions
of the recognizance shall be such that if the defendant appears
personally in court whenever ordered to do so within the year and
provides and cares for such neglected and dependent child in such
manner as to prevent a continuance or repetition of such state of
dependency and neglect or as otherwise may be directed by the court
then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise it shall be of full
force and effect. If the court is satisfied by information and due
proof under oath that at any time during the year the defendant has
violated the terms of such order it may forthwith revoke the order and
sentence him or her under the original conviction. Unless so sentenced,
the defendant shall at the end of the year be discharged. In case of
forfeiture on the recognizance the sum recovered thereon may in the
discretion of the court be paid in whole or in part to someone
designated by the court for the support of such dependent and neglected
child.

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

unfit person for the sole reason that the person has relinquished a
child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act:
(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

(c) Desertion of the child for more than 3 months next
preceding the commencement of the Adoption proceeding.

repeated.
(d-1) Substantial neglect, if continuous or repeated, of any

(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 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
[April 4, 2001] 68
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

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.
There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is unfit 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
during the first 30 days after its birth.
(m) Failure by a parent (i) to make reasonable efforts to
correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the
child from the parent, or (ii) 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, or (iii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of
the child to the parent during any 9-month period after the end of
the initial 9-month period following the 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 (I) 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 and (II) 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 during any 9-month
period after the end of the initial 9-month period following 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
69 [April 4, 2001]
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 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 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 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
[April 4, 2001] 70
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 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
agency and to whose adoption the agency has thereafter consented;
(b) a child to whose adoption a person authorized by law,
other than his parents, has consented, or to whose adoption no
consent is required pursuant to Section 8 of this Act;
(c) a child who is in the custody of persons who intend to
adopt him through placement made by his parents;

10 of the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act.

"Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by changing

Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Mobile Home
Local Services Tax Enforcement Act.
Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act:
"Mobile home" means that term as defined in the Mobile Home Local
[April 4, 2001] 78
Services Tax Act.
Section 10. Application. This Act applies to delinquencies in
payment of the tax imposed by the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act.
Division 2. Enforcement actions
Section 15. Lien; payments by representative or agent. When a
mobile home is taxed to any person as agent for another, or in a
representative capacity, the agent or representative shall have a lien
on the mobile home, or any mobile home of his or her principal in the
agent's possession, until he or she is indemnified against the payment
thereof, or, if he or she has paid the tax, until he or she is
reimbursed for the payment.
Section 20. Lien for taxes. The taxes upon a mobile home,
together with all penalties, interests, and costs that may accrue
thereon, shall be a prior and first lien on the mobile home, superior
to all other liens and encumbrances, from and including the first day
of January in the year in which the taxes are imposed until the taxes
are paid or until the mobile home is sold under this Act.
(a) Foreclosure; mobile home forfeited for 2 or more years. A
lien may be foreclosed, in the circuit court in the name of the People
of the State of Illinois, whenever the taxes for 2 or more years on the
same mobile home have been forfeited to the State. The mobile home may
be sold under the order of the court by the person having authority to
receive County taxes, with notice to interested parties and right of
redemption from the sale, (except that the interest or any other amount
to be paid upon redemption in addition to the amount for which the
mobile home was sold shall be as provided herein), as provided in
Sections 290 through 310 and 325.
In any action to foreclose the lien for delinquent taxes brought by
the People of the State of Illinois when the taxes for 2 or more years
on the same mobile home have been forfeited to the State, service of
process shall be made in the manner now prescribed by law. All owners,
parties interested, and occupants of any mobile home against which tax
liens are sought to be foreclosed shall be named as parties defendant,
and shall be served in the manner and form as provided by law for the
service of defendants in foreclosures of lien or encumbrances upon real
estate. In case there are other parties with ownership interests in
the mobile home, they shall be named in the notice under the
designation "unknown owners".
(b) Redemption interest. The interest to be paid upon redemption
from all tax foreclosure sales held under this Section shall be:
(1) If redeemed within 2 months from the date of the sale, 3%
per month upon the amount for which the mobile home was sold for
each of the first 2 months, or fraction thereof;
(2) If redeemed between 2 and 6 months from the date of the
sale, 12% of the amount of sale;
(3) If redeemed between 6 and 12 months from the date of the
sale, 24% of the amount of sale;
(4) If redeemed between 12 and 18 months from the date of the
sale, 36% of the amount of sale;
(5) If redeemed between 18 and 24 months from the date of the
sale, 48% of the amount of sale;
(6) If redeemed after 24 months from the date of sale, the
48% for the 24 months plus interest at 6% per year thereafter.
(c) Enforcement of lien from rents and profits. A lien under this
Section may be enforced at any time after 6 months from the day the tax
becomes delinquent out of the rents and profits of the mobile home
accruing, or accrued and under the control or jurisdiction of a court.
This process may be initiated by the county board of the county or by
the corporate authorities of any taxing body entitled to receive any
part of the delinquent tax, by petition in any pending suit having
jurisdiction of the mobile home, or in any application for judgment and
order of sale of mobile homes for delinquent taxes in which the mobile
home is included, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois.
The process, practice, and procedure under this subsection shall be
the same as provided in the Civil Practice Law and the Supreme Court
Rules adopted in relation to that Law, except that receivers may be
79 [April 4, 2001]
appointed on not less than 3 days' written notice to holders of
certificate of title or persons in possession. In all petitions the
court shall have power to appoint the county collector to take
possession of the mobile home only for the purpose of collecting the
rents, issues and profits therefrom, and to apply them in satisfaction
of the tax lien. When the taxes set forth in the petition are paid in
full, the receiver shall be discharged. If the taxes described in the
petition are reduced by the final judgment of a court, the county
collector shall immediately refund all moneys collected by him or her
as receiver over and above the taxes as reduced, and shall deduct that
amount from the moneys thereafter distributed to the taxing bodies
which received the tax revenue.
In proceedings to foreclose the tax lien, or in petitions to
enforce the lien, the amount due on the collector's books against the
mobile home shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of taxes
against the mobile home. When any taxes are collected, they shall be
paid to the county collector, to be distributed by him or her to the
authorities entitled to them. All sales made under this Section shall
be conducted under the order and supervision of the court by the county
collector.
An action to foreclose the lien for delinquent taxes under this Act
is an action in rem.
Section 25. Preventing waste to mobile homes; receiver. During the
pendency of any tax foreclosure proceeding and until the time to redeem
the mobile home sold expires, or redemption is made, from any sale made
under any judgment foreclosing the lien of taxes, no waste shall be
committed or suffered on any of the mobile homes involved. The mobile
home shall be maintained in good condition and repair. When violations
of local building, health, or safety codes make the mobile home
dangerous or hazardous, when taxes on the mobile home are delinquent
for 2 years or more, or when in the judgment of the court it is to the
best interest of the parties, the court may, upon the verified petition
of any party to the proceeding, or the holder of the certificate of
purchase, appoint a receiver for the mobile home with like powers and
duties of receivers as in cases of foreclosure of mortgages or trust
deeds. The court, in its discretion, may take any other action as may
be necessary or desirable to prevent waste and maintain the mobile home
in good condition and repair.
Section 30. No receiver for homestead dwelling. No receiver shall
be appointed under the provisions of Section 25 for mobile homes used
as a family dwelling and occupied by the owner as a residence at the
time the unpaid taxes became a lien and continuously thereafter.
Section 35. Purchase and sale by county; distribution of proceeds.
When any mobile home is delinquent, or is forfeited for each of 2 or
more years, and is offered for sale under any of the provisions of this
Act, the county board of the county in which the mobile home is
located, in its discretion, if there are no other bids, may bid, or, in
the case of a forfeited mobile home, may apply to purchase it, in the
name of the county as trustee for all taxing districts having an
interest in the mobile home's taxes for the nonpayment of which the
mobile home is sold. The presiding officer of the county board, with
the advice and consent of the board, may appoint on its behalf some
officer or person to attend such sales and bid or, in the case of a
forfeited mobile home, to apply to the county clerk to purchase. The
county shall apply on the bid or purchase the unpaid taxes due upon the
mobile home. No cash need be paid. The county shall take all steps
necessary to acquire certificate of title to the mobile home and may
manage and operate the mobile home. When a county, or other taxing
district within the county, is a petitioner for a tax certificate of
title, no filing fee shall be required. When a county or other taxing
district within the county is the petitioner for a tax certificate of
title, one petition may be filed including all mobile homes that are
tax delinquent within the county or taxing district, and any
publication made under Section 380 of this Act may combine all such
mobile homes within a single notice. The notice shall list the street
or common address, if known, of the mobile homes for informational
[April 4, 2001] 80
purposes. The county, as tax creditor and as trustee for other tax
creditors, or other taxing districts within the county, shall not be
required to allege and prove that all taxes that become due and payable
after the sale to the county have been paid nor shall the county be
required to pay the subsequently accruing taxes at any time, except
when subsequent taxes are sold to another buyer. The county board or
its designee may prohibit the county collector from including the
mobile home in the tax sale of one or more subsequent years. The lien
of taxes that become due and payable after a sale to a county shall
merge in the certificate of title of the county, or other taxing
district within the county, on the issuance of a certificate of title.
The County may sell or assign the mobile home so acquired, or the
certificate of purchase to it, to any party, including taxing
districts. The proceeds of that sale or assignment, less all costs of
the county incurred in the acquisition and sale or assignment of the
mobile home, shall be distributed to the taxing districts in proportion
to their respective interests therein.
Under Sections 55 and 60, a County may bid or purchase only in the
absence of other bidders.
Section 40. Tax abatement after acquisition by a governmental
unit. When any county or municipality acquires a mobile home through
the foreclosure of a lien, through a judicial order, through the
foreclosure of receivership certificate lien, or by acceptance of a
certificate of title in lieu of foreclosing any lien against the mobile
home, or when any county or other taxing district acquires a
certificate of title for a mobile home under Section 35 or Sections 90
and 200, all due or unpaid mobile home taxes and existing liens for
unpaid mobile home taxes imposed or pending under any law or ordinance
of this State or any of its political subdivisions shall become null
and void.
Section 45. Notice to county officials; voiding of tax bills. The
county board or corporate authorities of the county, or other taxing
district acquiring a mobile home under Section 35 shall give written
notice of the acquisition to the chief county assessment officer and
the county collector and the county clerk of the county in which the
mobile home is located, and request the voiding of the tax liens as
provided in this Section. The notice shall describe the acquired mobile
home by the vehicle identification number of the mobile home, if there
is one.
Upon receipt of the notice, the county collector and county clerk
or county assessor, as appropriate shall void the current and all prior
unpaid taxes on the records in their respective offices by entering the
following statement upon their records for the mobile home: "Acquired
by ... (name of county or municipality acquiring the mobile home under
Section 35). Taxes due and unpaid on this mobile home ... (give vehicle
identification number, if any, and location of the mobile home) ... are
waived and null and void under Section 45 of the Mobile Home Local
Services Tax Enforcement Act. The tax bills of this mobile home are
hereby voided and liens for the taxes are extinguished."
Section 50. Liability of owner; rights of tax purchaser. Nothing
in Sections 40 and 45 shall relieve any owner liable for delinquent
mobile home taxes under the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act from the
payment of any delinquent taxes or liens which have become null and
void under those Sections.
Sections 45 and 50 shall not adversely affect the rights or
interests of the holder of any bona fide certificate of purchase of the
mobile home for delinquent taxes. However, upon acquisition of a mobile
home by a governmental unit as set forth in Section 40, the rights and
interests of the holder of any bona fide certificate of purchase of the
mobile home for delinquent taxes shall be limited to a sale in error
and a refund as provided under Section 255.
Section 55. Published notice of annual application for judgment
and sale; delinquent taxes. At any time after all taxes have become
delinquent in any year, the Collector shall publish an advertisement,
giving notice of the intended application for judgment and sale of the
delinquent mobile homes. Except as provided below, the advertisement
81 [April 4, 2001]
shall be in a newspaper published in the township or road district in
which the mobile homes are located. If there is no newspaper published
in the township or road district, then the notice shall be published in
some newspaper in the same county as the township or road district, to
be selected by the county collector. When the mobile home is in a city
with more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, the advertisement may be in any
newspaper published in the same county. When the mobile home is in an
incorporated town which has superseded a civil township, the
advertisement shall be in a newspaper published in the incorporated
town or if there is no such newspaper, then in a newspaper published in
the county.
Section 60. Times of publication of notice. The advertisement
shall be published once at least 10 days before the day on which
judgment is to be applied for, and shall contain a list of the
delinquent mobile homes upon which the taxes or any part thereof remain
due and unpaid, the names of owners, if known, the vehicle
identification number, the model year of the home, the square footage
of the home, the total amount due, and the year or years for which they
are due. In counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, advertisement
shall include notice of the registration requirement for persons
bidding at the sale.
The collector shall give notice that he or she will apply to the
circuit court on a specified day for judgment against the mobile homes
for the taxes, and costs, and for an order to sell the mobile homes for
the satisfaction of the amount due.
The collector shall also give notice of a date within the next 5
business days after the date of application on which all the mobile
homes for the sale of which an order is made will be exposed to public
sale at a location within the county designated by the county
collector, for the amount of taxes and cost due. The advertisement
published according to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed
to be sufficient notice of the intended application for judgment and of
the sale of mobile homes under the order of the court.
Section 65. Costs of publishing delinquent list. A county shall pay
for the printer for advertising delinquent lists for mobile homes,
$0.40 per column line, to be taxed and collected as costs.
The printer shall receive for printing the preamble, the
descriptive headings, the affidavit, and any other matter accompanying
the delinquent list, the sum of $0.40 per line, to be paid by the
county.
No costs except printer's fee shall be charged on any mobile homes
forfeited to the State.
Section 70. Sale of mobile homes previously ordered sold. A
mobile home ordered sold by unexecuted judgments and orders of sale,
previously entered, shall be included in the advertisement for sale
only under the previous orders, and shall be sold in the order in which
they appear in the delinquent list contained in the advertisement. At
any time between annual sales the county collector also may advertise
for sale any mobile homes subject to sale under orders previously
entered and not executed for any reason. The advertisement and sale
shall be regulated by the provisions regulating the annual
advertisement and sale of delinquent mobile homes, as far as
applicable.
Section 75. Use of figures and letters in advertisement and other
lists. In all advertisements for the sale of mobile homes for taxes,
and in entries required to be made by the clerk of the court or other
officer, letters, figures, or characters may be used to denote the year
or the years for which the taxes were due and the amount of taxes,
interest, and costs. The county collector may subsequently advertise
and obtain judgment on mobile homes that have been omitted, or that
have been erroneously advertised or described in the first
advertisement.
Division 3. Notice and publication provisions
Section 80. Mailed notice of application for judgment and sale.
Not less than 15 days before the date of application for judgment and
sale of delinquent mobile homes, the county collector shall mail, by
[April 4, 2001] 82
registered or certified mail, a notice of the forthcoming application
for judgment and sale to the person shown by the current collector's
warrant book to be the party in whose name the taxes were last
computed. The notice shall include the intended dates of application
for judgment and sale and commencement of the sale, and a description
of the mobile homes. The county collector must present proof of the
mailing to the court along with the application for judgement.
In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a copy of this
notice shall also be mailed by the county collector by registered or
certified mail to any lienholder of record who annually requests a copy
of the notice. The failure of the county collector to mail a notice or
its non-delivery to the lienholder shall not affect the validity of the
judgment.
The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each sale to
cover the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of
advertisement and publication. If a taxpayer pays the taxes on the
mobile home after the notice of the forthcoming application for
judgment and sale is mailed but before the sale is made, then the
collector shall collect $10 from the taxpayer to cover the costs of
registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and
publication.
Section 85. Printer's error in advertisement. In all cases where
there is a printer's error in the advertised list which prevents
judgment from being obtained against any mobile home, or against all of
the delinquent list, at the time stated in the advertisement, the
printer shall lose the compensation allowed by this Act for those
mobile homes containing errors, or for the entire list, as the case may
be.
Section 90. Scavenger sale. At the same time the county collector
annually publishes the collector's annual sale advertisement under
Sections 55 and 60, it is mandatory for the collector in counties with
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, and in other counties if the county
board so orders by resolution, to publish an advertisement giving
notice of the intended application for judgment and sale of all mobile
homes upon which all or a part of the taxes for each of 2 or more
years, including the current tax year, are delinquent as of the date of
the advertisement. In no event may there be more than 2 consecutive
years without a sale under this Section. The term delinquent also
includes forfeitures. The county collector shall include in the
advertisement and in the application for judgment and sale under this
Section and Section 200 the total amount of all taxes upon those mobile
homes which are delinquent as of the date of the advertisement. In lieu
of a single annual advertisement and application for judgment and sale
under this Section and Section 200, the county collector may, from time
to time, beginning on the date of the publication of the annual sale
advertisement and before August 1 of the next year, publish separate
advertisements and make separate applications on eligible mobile homes
described in one or more volumes of the delinquent list. The separate
advertisements and applications shall, in the aggregate, include all
the mobile homes which otherwise would have been included in the single
annual advertisement and application for judgment and sale under this
Section. The advertisement and application for judgment and sale shall
be in the manner prescribed by this Act relating to the annual
advertisement and application for judgment and sale of delinquent
mobile homes.
Division 3.5. Judgments and Sales
Section 95. Time of applying for judgment. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, all applications for judgment and order of
sale for taxes on delinquent mobile homes shall be made during the
month of October. In the 10 years next following the completion of a
general reassessment of property in any county with 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, made under an order of the Department, applications for
judgment and order of sale shall be made as soon as may be and on the
day specified in the advertisement required by Section 55 and 60. If
for any cause the court is not held on the day specified, the cause
shall stand continued, and it shall be unnecessary to re-advertise the
83 [April 4, 2001]
list or notice.
Within 30 days after the day specified for the application for
judgment the court shall hear and determine the matter. If judgment is
rendered, the sale shall begin on the date within 5 business days
specified in the notice as provided in Section 60. If the collector is
prevented from advertising and obtaining judgment during the month of
October, the collector may obtain judgment at any time thereafter; but
if the failure arises by the county collector's not complying with any
of the requirements of this Act, he or she shall be held on his or her
official bond for the full amount of all taxes charged against him or
her. Any failure on the part of the county collector shall not be
allowed as a valid objection to the collection of any tax, or to entry
of a judgment against any delinquent mobile homes included in the
application of the county collector.
Section 100. Annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture
record. The collector shall transcribe into a record prepared for that
purpose, and known as the annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and
forfeiture record, the list of delinquent mobile homes. The record
shall contain all the information necessary to be recorded, at least 5
days before the day on which application for judgment is to be made.
The record shall set forth the name of the owner, if known; a
description of the mobile home, including the vehicle identification
number, model year, and square footage; the year or years for which the
tax is due; the valuation on which the tax is extended; the amount of
the consolidated and other taxes; the costs; and the total amount of
charges against the mobile home.
The record shall also be ruled in columns to show the amount paid
before entry of judgment; the amount of judgment and a column for
remarks; the amount paid before sale and after entry of judgment; the
amount of the sale; amount of interest or penalty; amount of cost;
amount forfeited to the State; date of sale; name of purchaser; amount
of sale and penalty; taxes of succeeding years; interest and when paid,
interest and cost; total amount of redemption; date of redemption; when
certificate of title executed; by whom redeemed; and a column for
remarks or receipt of redemption money.
The record shall be kept in the office of the county clerk.
Section 105. Payment of delinquent tax before sale. Any person
owning or claiming mobile homes upon which application for judgment is
applied for may, in person or by agent, pay the taxes, and costs due,
or in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the taxes, interest,
and costs due, to the county collector at any time before sale.
Section 110. Report of payments and corrections. On the day on
which application for judgment on a delinquent mobile home is applied
for, the collector, assisted by the county clerk, shall post all
payments, compare and correct the list, and shall make and subscribe an
affidavit, which shall be substantially in the following form:
State of Illinois)
) ss.
County of .......)
I ...., collector of the county of ...., do solemnly swear (or
affirm, as the case may be), that the foregoing is a true and correct
list of the delinquent mobile homes within the county of ...., upon
which I have been unable to collect the taxes (and interest and
printer's fees, if any), charged thereon, as required by law, for the
year or years therein set forth; and that the taxes, now remain due and
unpaid, to the best of my knowledge and belief.
Dated ..........
The affidavit shall be entered at the end of the list, and signed
by the collector.
Section 115. Proceedings by court. Defenses to the entry of
judgment against mobile homes included in the delinquent list shall be
entertained by the court only when the defense includes a writing
specifying the particular grounds for the objection.
If any party objecting is entitled to a refund of all or any part
of a tax paid, the court shall enter judgment accordingly, and also
shall enter judgment for the taxes, interest, and penalties as appear
[April 4, 2001] 84
to be due. The judgment shall be considered as a several judgment
against each mobile home, for each kind of tax included therein. The
court shall direct the clerk to prepare and enter an order for the sale
of the mobile home against which judgment is entered.
Section 120. Form of court order. A judgment and order of sale
shall be substantially in the following form:
Whereas, due notice has been given of the intended application for
a judgment against mobile homes, and no sufficient defense having been
made or cause shown why judgment should not be entered against the
mobile homes, for taxes, interest, penalties, and costs due and unpaid
thereon for the year or years herein set forth, therefore the court
hereby enters judgment against the above stated mobile homes, in favor
of the People of the State of Illinois, for the amount of taxes,
interest, penalties and costs due thereon. It is ordered by the court
that the mobile homes be sold as the law directs.
The order shall be signed by the judge. In all judicial proceedings
of any kind, for the collection of taxes, all amendments may be made
which, by law, could be made in any personal action pending in that
court.
Section 125. Cure of error or informality in computation of tax or
collection of the taxes. No computation of the tax on a mobile home or
charge for any of the taxes shall be considered illegal on account of
any irregularity in the computation, or on account of the computation
not having been made within the time required by law, or on account of
the mobile home having been charged without name, or in any other name
than that of the rightful owner. No error or informality in the
proceedings of any of the officers connected with the computation or
collection of the taxes, not affecting the substantial justice of the
tax itself, shall vitiate or in any manner affect the tax or the
computation thereof. Any irregularity or informality in the computation
of the tax, or in any of the proceedings connected with the computation
of the taxes, or any omission or defective act of any other officer or
officers connected with the computation of the taxes, may be, in the
discretion of the court, corrected, supplied and made to conform to law
by the court, or by the person (in the presence of the court) from
whose neglect or default it was occasioned.
Division 4. Annual tax sale procedure
Section 130. Entry of judgment for sale. If judgment is rendered
against any mobile home for any tax, the county collector shall, after
publishing a notice for sale in compliance with the requirements of
Sections 55 or 60, proceed to offer the mobile home for sale pursuant
to the judgment. However, in the case of an appeal from the judgment,
if the party, when filing notice of appeal deposits with the county
collector the amount of the judgment and costs, the collector shall not
sell the mobile home until the appeal is disposed of.
Section 135. Examination of record; certificate of correctness.
On the day advertised for sale, the county clerk, assisted by the
collector, shall examine the list upon which judgment has been entered
and ascertain that all payments have been properly noted thereon. The
county clerk shall make a certificate to be entered on the record,
following the order of court that the record is correct, and that

substantially in the following form:
State of Illinois County of .....

the delinquent mobile home in the county, against which judgment and
order of sale was duly entered in the circuit court for the county, on

Dated (insert date).
85 [April 4, 2001]
Section 140. County clerk assistance at sale. The county clerk, in
person or by deputy, shall attend all sales for taxes, made by the
collector, and shall assist at the sales.
Section 145. Tax sale procedures. The collector, in person or by
deputy, shall attend, on the day and in the place specified in the
notice for the sale of mobile homes for taxes, and shall, between 9:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m., or later at the collector's discretion, proceed to
offer for sale, separately and in consecutive order, all mobile homes
in the list on which the taxes, interest, or costs have not been paid.
However, in any county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the offer
for sale shall be made between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The collector's
office shall be kept open during all hours in which the sale is in
progress. The sale shall be continued from day to day, until all mobile
homes in the delinquent list have been offered for sale.
Section 150. Penalty bids. The person at the sale offering to pay
the amount due on each mobile home for the least penalty percentage
shall be the purchaser of that mobile home. No bid shall be accepted
for a penalty exceeding 18% of the amount of the tax on a mobile home.
Section 155. Letter of credit or bond in counties of 3,000,000 or
more; registration in other counties. In counties with 3,000,000 or
more inhabitants, no person shall make an offer to pay the amount due
on any mobile home and the collector shall not accept or acknowledge an
offer from any person who has not deposited with the collector, not
less than 10 days prior to making such offer, an irrevocable and
unconditional letter of credit or such other unconditional bond payable
to the order of the collector in an amount not less than 1.5 times the
amount of any tax due upon the mobile home. The collector may without
notice draw upon the letter of credit or bond in the event payment of
the amount due together with interest and costs thereon is not made
forthwith by the person purchasing any mobile home. At all times
during the sale, any person making an offer or offers to pay the amount
or amounts due on any mobile homes shall maintain the letter of credit
or bond with the collector in an amount not less than 1.5 times the
amount due on the mobile homes which he or she has purchased and for
which he or she has not paid.
In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, unless the county
board provides otherwise, no person shall be eligible to bid who did
not register with the county collector at least 10 business days prior
to the first day of sale authorized under Section 60.
Section 160. Forfeited mobile home. Every mobile home offered at
public sale, and not sold for want of bidders, shall be forfeited to
the State of Illinois. However, when the court, county clerk, and
county treasurer certify that the taxes on a forfeited mobile home
equal or exceed the actual value of the mobile home, the county
collector shall, on the receipt of such certificate, offer the mobile
home for sale to the highest bidder, after first giving 10 days'
notice, in the manner described in Sections 55 and 60, of the time and
place of sale, together with a description of the mobile home to be
offered. A certificate of purchase shall be issued to the purchaser at
the sale as in other cases provided in this Act. The county collector
shall receive credit in the settlement with the taxing bodies for which
the tax was levied for the amount not realized by the sale. The amount
received from the sale shall be paid by the collector, pro rata, to the
taxing bodies entitled to it.
Section 165. Record of sales and redemptions. When any mobile home
is sold, the county clerk shall enter on the Tax Judgment, Sale,
Redemption and Forfeiture Record, in the blank columns provided for
that purpose, the name of the purchaser and the final bid. When any
mobile home is redeemed from sale, the county clerk shall enter the
name of the person redeeming, the redemption date, and the amount of
redemption, in the proper column.
Section 170. Record of forfeitures. All mobile homes forfeited to
the State at the sale shall be noted on the Tax Judgment, Sale,
Redemption and Forfeiture Record.
Section 175. Payment for mobile homes purchased at tax sale;
reoffering for sale. Except as otherwise provided below, the person
[April 4, 2001] 86
purchasing any mobile home shall be liable to the county for the amount
due and shall forthwith pay to the county collector the amount charged
on the mobile home. Upon failure to do so, the amount due shall be
recoverable in a civil action brought in the name of the People of the
State of Illinois in any court of competent jurisdiction. The person
so purchasing shall be relieved of liability only by payment of the
amount due together with interest and costs thereon, or if the mobile
home is reoffered at the sale, purchased, and paid for. Reoffering of
the mobile home for sale shall be at the discretion of the collector.
The sale shall not be closed until payment is made or the mobile home
again offered for sale. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants,
only the taxes, interest, and costs as advertised in the sale shall be
required to be paid forthwith. The taxes charged on the mobile home
remaining due and unpaid, not included in the advertisement, shall be
paid by the purchaser within 10 days after the sale, except that upon
payment of the fee provided by law to the county clerk (which fee shall
be deemed part of the costs of sale) the purchaser may make written
application, within the 10 day period, to the county clerk for a
statement of all taxes, interest, and costs due and an estimate of the
cost of redemption of all forfeited taxes, which were not included in
the advertisement. After obtaining such statement and estimate and an
order on the county collector to receive the amount of forfeited taxes,
if any, the purchaser shall pay to the county collector all the
remaining taxes, interest, and costs, and the amount necessary to
redeem the forfeited taxes. The county collector shall issue the
purchaser a receipt therefor. Any delay in providing the statement or
in accepting payment, and delivering receipt therefor, shall not be
counted as a part of the 10 days. When the receipt of the collector is
issued, a copy shall be filed with the county clerk and the county
clerk shall include the amount shown in such receipt in the amount of
the purchase price of the mobile home in the certificate of purchase.
The purchaser then shall be entitled to a certificate of purchase. If a
purchaser fails to complete his or her purchase as provided in this
Section, the purchase shall become void, and be of no effect, but the
collector shall not refund the amount paid in cash at the time of the
sale, except in cases of sale in error. That amount shall be treated as
a payment and distributed to the taxing bodies as other collections are
distributed. The lien for taxes for the amount paid shall remain on the
mobile home, in favor of the purchaser, his or her heirs or assigns,
until paid with 5% interest per year on that amount from the date the
purchaser paid it. The amount and fact of such ineffective purchase
shall be entered in the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture
record opposite the mobile home upon which the lien remains. No
redemption shall be made without payment of this amount for the benefit
of the purchaser, and no future sale of the mobile home shall be made
except subject to the lien of such purchaser.
Section 180. Automation fee. The county collector in all counties
may assess to the purchaser of a mobile home for delinquent taxes an
automation fee of not more than $10 per mobile home. In counties with
less than 3,000,000 inhabitants:
(a) The fee shall be paid at the time of the purchase if the
record keeping system used for processing the delinquent mobile home
tax sales is automated or has been approved for automation by the
county board. The fee shall be collected in the same manner as other
fees or costs.
(b) Fees collected under this Section shall be retained by the
county treasurer in a fund designated as the Tax Sale Automation Fund.
The fund shall be audited by the county auditor. The county board shall
make expenditures from the fund to pay any costs related to the
automation of mobile home tax collections and delinquent mobile home
tax sales, including the cost of hardware, software, research and
development, and personnel.
Section 185. Certificate of purchase. The county clerk shall make
out and deliver to the purchaser of any mobile home sold under Section
145, a certificate of purchase countersigned by the collector,
describing the mobile home sold, including the vehicle identification
87 [April 4, 2001]
number, the model year, and the square footage, the date of sale, the
amount of taxes, interest, and cost for which it was sold, and that
payment of the sale price has been made. If any person becomes the
purchaser of more than one mobile home owned by one party or person,
the purchaser may have the whole or one or more of them included in one
certificate, but separate certificates shall be issued in all other
cases. A certificate of purchase shall be assignable by endorsement. An
assignment shall vest in the assignee or his or her legal
representatives, all the right and title of the original purchaser.
If the tax certificate is lost or destroyed, the county clerk shall
issue a duplicate certificate upon written request and a sworn
affidavit by the tax sale purchaser, or his or her assignee, that the
tax certificate is lost or destroyed. The county clerk shall cause a
notation to be made in the tax sale and judgment book that a duplicate
certificate has been issued, and redemption payments shall be made only
to the holder of the duplicate certificate.
Section 190. Index of tax sale records. The county clerk may make
an index of tax-sale records. The index shall be kept in the county
clerk's office as a public record, open to inspection during office
hours.
Section 195. County clerk's books and records; prima facie
evidence. The books and records of the county clerk, or copies thereof,
certified by the clerk, shall be prima facie evidence to prove the sale
of any mobile home for taxes, the redemption of the mobile home, or
payment of taxes thereon.
Division 5. Scavenger sales; procedures
Section 200. Collector's scavenger sale. Upon the county
collector's application under Section 90, to be known as the Scavenger
Sale Application, the Court shall enter judgment for the taxes,
interest, penalties, and costs as are included in the advertisement and
appear to be due thereon after allowing an opportunity to object and a
hearing upon the objections as provided in Section 115, and order those
mobile homes sold by the county collector at public sale to the highest
bidder for cash, notwithstanding the bid may be less than the full
amount of taxes, interest, penalties, and costs for which judgment has
been entered.
(a) Conducting the sale; bidding. All mobile homes shall be
offered for sale in consecutive order as they appear in the delinquent
list. The minimum bid for any mobile home shall be $250 or one-half of
the tax if the total liability is less than $500. The successful
bidder shall immediately pay the amount of minimum bid to the County
Collector in cash, by certified or cashier's check, by money order, or,
if the successful bidder is a governmental unit, by a check issued by
that governmental unit. If the bid exceeds the minimum bid, the
successful bidder shall pay the balance of the bid to the county
collector in cash, by certified or cashier's check, by money order, or,
if the successful bidder is a governmental unit, by a check issued by
that governmental unit by the close of the next business day. If the
minimum bid is not paid at the time of sale or if the balance is not
paid by the close of the next business day, then the sale is void and
the minimum bid, if paid, is forfeited to the county general fund. In
that event, the mobile home shall be reoffered for sale within 30 days
of the last offering of mobile homes in regular order. The collector
shall make available to the public a list of all mobile homes to be
included in any reoffering due to the voiding of the original sale.
The collector is not required to serve or publish any other notice of
the reoffering of those mobile homes. In the event that any of the
mobile homes are not sold upon reoffering, or are sold for less than
the amount of the original voided sale, the original bidder who failed
to pay the bid amount shall remain liable for the unpaid balance of the
bid in an action under Section 175. Liability shall not be reduced
where the bidder upon reoffering also fails to pay the bid amount, and
in that event both bidders shall remain liable for the unpaid balance
of their respective bids. A sale of mobile homes under this Section
shall not be final until confirmed by the court.
(b) Confirmation of sales. The county collector shall file his or
[April 4, 2001] 88
her report of sale in the court within 30 days after the date of sale
of each mobile home. No notice of the county collector's application
to confirm the sales shall be required except as prescribed by rule of
the court. Upon confirmation, except in cases where the sale becomes
void under Section 430, or in cases where the order of confirmation is
vacated by the court, a sale under this Section shall extinguish the in
rem lien of the taxes, for which judgment has been entered and a
redemption shall not revive the lien. Confirmation of the sale shall
in no event affect the owner's personal liability to pay the taxes,
interest, and penalties as provided in this Act or prevent institution
of a proceeding under Section 355 to collect any amount that may remain
due after the sale.
(c) Issuance of tax sale certificates. Upon confirmation of the
sale, the county clerk and the county collector shall issue to the
purchaser a certificate of purchase in the form prescribed by Section
185 as near as may be. A certificate of purchase shall not be issued
to any person who is ineligible to bid at the sale or to receive a
certificate of purchase under Section 205.
(d) Scavenger Tax Judgment, Sale and Redemption Record; sale of
parcels not sold. The county collector shall prepare a Scavenger Tax
Judgment, Sale and Redemption Record. The county clerk shall write or
stamp on the scavenger tax judgment, sale, forfeiture and redemption
record opposite the description of any mobile home offered for sale and
not sold, or not confirmed for any reason, the words "offered but not
sold". The mobile homes that are offered for sale under this Section
and not sold or not confirmed shall be offered for sale annually
thereafter in the manner provided in this Section until sold. At any
time between annual sales the county collector may advertise for sale
any mobile homes subject to sale under judgments for sale previously
entered under this Section and not executed for any reason. The
advertisement and sale shall be regulated by the provisions of this Act
as far as applicable.
(e) Proceeding to tax certificate of title. The owner of the
certificate of purchase shall give notice as required by Sections 365
through 390, and may extend the period of redemption as provided by
Section 330. At any time within 5 months prior to expiration of the
period of redemption from a sale under this Act, the owner of a
certificate of purchase may file a petition and may obtain a tax
certificate of title under Sections 390 through 410. All proceedings
for the issuance of a tax certificate of title and all tax certificates
of title for mobile homes sold under this Section shall be subject to
Sections 390 through 410. This Section shall be liberally construed so
that the certificates of title provided for in this Section convey
merchantable title.
(f) Redemptions from scavenger sales. Redemptions may be made from
sales under this Section in the same manner and upon the same terms and
conditions as redemptions from sales made under the county collector's
annual application for judgment and order of sale, except that in lieu
of penalty the person redeeming shall pay interest on that part of the
amount for which the mobile home was sold equal to or less than the
full amount of delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs,
included in the judgment and order of sale as follows:
(1) If redeemed within the first 2 months from the date of
the sale, 3% per month upon the amount of taxes, penalties,
interest, and costs due for each of the first 2 months, or fraction
thereof.
(2) If redeemed at any time between 2 and 6 months from the
date of the sale, 12% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest,
and costs due.
(3) If redeemed at any time between 6 and 12 months from the
date of the sale, 24% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest,
and costs due.
(4) If redeemed at any time between 12 and 18 months from the
date of the sale, 36% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest,
and costs due.
(5) If redeemed at any time between 18 and 24 months from the
89 [April 4, 2001]
date of the sale, 48% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest,
and costs due.
(6) If redeemed after 24 months from the date of sale, the
48% provided for the 24 months together with interest at 6% per
annum thereafter on the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and
costs due.
The person redeeming shall not be required to pay any interest on
any part of the amount for which the mobile home was sold that exceeds
the full amount of delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs
included in the judgment and order of sale.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the amount
required to be paid for redemption shall also include an amount equal
to all delinquent taxes on the mobile home which taxes were delinquent
at the time of sale. The delinquent taxes shall be apportioned by the
county collector among the taxing districts in which the mobile home is
situated in accordance with law. In the event that all moneys received
from any sale held under this Section exceed an amount equal to all
delinquent taxes on the mobile home sold, which taxes were delinquent
at the time of sale, together with all publication and other costs
associated with the sale, then, upon redemption, the county collector
and the county clerk shall apply the excess amount to the cost of
redemption.
(g) Bidding by county or other taxing districts. Any taxing
district may bid at a scavenger sale. The county board of the county
in which mobile homes offered for sale under this Section are located
may bid as trustee for all taxing districts having an interest in the
taxes for the nonpayment of which the mobile homes are offered. The
county shall apply on the bid the unpaid taxes due upon the mobile home
and no cash need be paid. The county or other taxing district acquiring
a tax sale certificate shall take all steps necessary to acquire
certificate of title to the mobile home and may manage and operate the
mobile home so acquired.
When a county, or other taxing district within the county, is a
petitioner for a tax certificate of title, no filing fee shall be
required on the petition. The county as a tax creditor and as trustee
for other tax creditors, or other taxing district within the county
shall not be required to allege and prove that all taxes that become
due and payable after the sale to the county have been paid. The county
shall not be required to pay the subsequently accruing taxes at any
time. Upon the written request of the county board or its designee, the
county collector shall not offer the mobile home for sale at any tax
sale subsequent to the sale of the mobile home to the county under this
Section. The lien of taxes that become due and payable after a sale to
a county shall merge in the certificate title of the county, or other
taxing district, on the issuance of a certificate of title. The County
may sell the mobile homes so acquired, or the certificate of purchase
thereto, and the proceeds of the sale shall be distributed to the
taxing districts in proportion to their respective interests therein.
The presiding officer of the county board, with the advice and consent
of the county board, may appoint some officer or person to attend
scavenger sales and bid on its behalf.
(h) Miscellaneous provisions. In the event that a mobile home sold
at any such sale is not redeemed within the time permitted by law and a
tax certificate of title is issued, all moneys that may be received
from the sale of mobile homes in excess of the delinquent taxes,
together with all publication and other costs associated with the sale,
shall, upon petition of any interested party to the court that issued
the tax certificate of title, be distributed by the county collector
pursuant to order of the court among the persons having legal or
equitable interests in the mobile home according to the fair value of
their interests in the mobile home. Appeals may be taken from the
orders and judgments entered under this Section as in other civil
cases. The remedy herein provided is in addition to other remedies for
the collection of delinquent taxes.
Section 205. Scavenger sale; persons ineligible to bid or
purchase.
[April 4, 2001] 90
(a) No person, except a unit of local government, shall be
eligible to bid or receive a certificate of purchase at any sale under
Section 200 unless that person has completed and delivered to the
county clerk a true, accurate, and complete application for certificate
of purchase which shall affirm that:
(1) the person has not bid upon or applied to purchase any
mobile home at the sale for a person who is the party or agent of
the party who owns the mobile home or is responsible for the
payment of the delinquent taxes;
(2) the person is not, nor is he or she the agent for, the
owner or party responsible for payment of the taxes on any mobile

each of 2 or more years; and
(3) the person, although otherwise eligible to bid, has not
either directly or through an agent twice during the same sale
failed to complete a purchase by the immediate payment of the
minimum bid or the payment of the balance of a bid within the time

Section 210. Scavenger sale registration. No person, except a
unit of local government, shall be eligible to bid or to receive a
certificate of purchase who did not register with the county collector
at least 5 business days in advance of the first day of the sale under
Section 200. The collector may charge, for each registration, a fee of
not more than $50 in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants and
not more than $100 in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants.
Registration shall be made upon such forms and according to such
regulations as the county collector deems necessary in order to effect
complete and accurate disclosure of the identity of all persons
beneficially interested, directly or indirectly, in each sale under
Section 200. The information to be disclosed shall include, but not be
limited to, the name, address, and telephone number of the purchaser to
whom the clerk and collector will be requested to issue a certificate
of purchase; if the purchaser is a corporation, the place of
incorporation and the names and addresses of its shareholders unless

owned by the bidder and purchaser.
Every application for certificate of purchase and form for
registration authorized and required by this Section and Section 215
shall be executed under penalty of perjury as though under oath or
affirmation, but no acknowledgement is required.
Section 215. Scavenger sale; application for certificate of
purchase. The application for certificate of purchase shall be
executed by the purchaser and by any individual bidder acting in the
purchaser's behalf. The application shall be initially executed and
delivered to the county clerk at the time of registration for the sale
as provided in this Section. Before receiving any certificate of
purchase, each purchaser and individual bidder acting in the
purchaser's behalf shall sign and deliver to the county clerk a
schedule or schedules of the mobile homes for which that purchaser has
successfully bid and is applying to purchase, which schedule or
schedules shall be attached to and incorporated within the application.
The schedule or schedules shall be accompanied by a fee, for each

taxes, interest, penalties, and costs for which judgment for sale under
Section 200 was entered, together with the costs of the action and
reasonable attorney's fees. The proceeds of any judgment under this
Section shall be paid into the county general fund.
Section 225. Tax scavenger sale fraud; definitions. For purposes
of Section 230:

a mobile home, the holder of which is considered to be the owner of
the mobile home for purposes of taxation under Section 3 of the
Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act.
(2) "Nonownership interest" means any interest in a mobile
home other than a contingent interest and other than an ownership
interest as defined in this Section, including without limitation

Section 230. Offense of scavenger sale fraud. A person commits the
offense of tax sale fraud who knowingly:
(a) enters a bid or authorizes or procures the entry of a bid
on any mobile home offered for sale under Section 200, when the
person in whose behalf the bid is made or authorized or procured
has an ownership interest or nonownership interest in the mobile
home, or where that person had such an interest on January 1 of any
year for which delinquent taxes were included within the judgment
for sale under Section 200;
(b) acquires, or attempts to acquire, ownership of any
certificate of purchase for a mobile home sold under Section 200,
when the person in whose behalf such certificate of purchase is or
would be acquired has an ownership interest or nonownership
interest in the mobile home, or where that person had that interest
on January 1 of any year for which delinquent taxes were included
within the judgment for sale under Section 200;
(c) conveys or assigns any certificate of purchase for a
mobile home sold under Section 200 to any person who has an
ownership interest or nonownership interest in the mobile home, or

Tax sale fraud is a Class A misdemeanor. A subsequent conviction
for tax sale fraud as defined in subsections (a) through (d) of this
Section is a Class 4 felony.
Division 6. Indemnity fund; sales in error
Section 235. Creation of indemnity fund.
(a) Each person purchasing any mobile home at a sale under this
Act shall pay to the county collector, prior to the issuance of any
certificate of purchase, a fee of $20 for each item purchased. A like
sum shall be paid for each year that all or a portion of subsequent
93 [April 4, 2001]
taxes are paid by the tax purchaser and posted to the tax judgment,
sale, redemption and forfeiture record where the underlying certificate
of purchase is recorded.
(b) The amount paid prior to issuance of the certificate of
purchase pursuant to subsection (a) shall be included in the purchase
price of the mobile home in the certificate of purchase and all amounts
paid under this Section shall be included in the amount required to
redeem under Section 300. Except as otherwise provided in subsection
(b) of Section 240, all money received under subsection (a) shall be
paid by the collector to the county treasurer of the county in which
the mobile home is situated, for the purpose of an indemnity fund. The
county treasurer, as trustee of that fund, shall invest all of that
fund, principal and income, in his or her hands from time to time, if
not immediately required for payments of indemnities under subsection
(a) of Section 245, in investments permitted by the Illinois State
Board of Investment under Article 22A of the Illinois Pension Act. The
county collector shall report annually to the circuit court on the
condition and income of the fund. The indemnity fund shall be held to
satisfy judgments obtained against the county treasurer, as trustee of
the fund. No payment shall be made from the fund, except upon a
judgment of the court which ordered the issuance of a tax certificate
of title.
Section 240. Amount to be retained in indemnity fund.
(a) The county board in each county shall determine the amount of
the fund to be maintained in that county, which amount shall not be
less than $50,000 and shall not be greater than $1,000,000 in counties
with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, and not greater than $2,000,000
in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants. Any moneys accumulated
by the county treasurer in excess of the amount so established, as
trustee of the fund, shall be paid by him or her annually to the
general fund of the county.
(b) In counties in which a Tort Liability Fund is established, all
sums of money received under subsection (a) of Section 235 may be
deposited in the general fund of the county for general county
governmental purposes, if the county board provides by ordinance that
the indemnity required by this Section shall be provided by the Tort
Liability Fund.
Section 245. Payments from Indemnity Fund.
(a) Any owner of a mobile home sold under any provision of this
Act who sustains loss or damage by reason of the issuance of a tax
certificate of title under Section 360 or 400 and who is barred or is
in any way precluded from bringing an action for the recovery of the
mobile home shall have the right to indemnity for the loss or damage
sustained, limited as follows:
(1) An owner who resided in a mobile home on the last day of
the period of redemption and who is equitably entitled to
compensation for the loss or damage sustained has the right to
indemnity. An equitable indemnity award shall be limited to the
fair cash value of the mobile home as of the date the tax
certificate of title was issued less any liens on the mobile home,
and the award will not exceed $99,000. The court shall liberally
construe this equitable entitlement standard to provide
compensation wherever, in the discretion of the court, the equities
warrant the action.
An owner of a mobile home who requests an award in excess of
$99,000 must prove that the loss of his or her mobile home was not
attributable to his or her own fault or negligence before an award
in excess of $99,000 will be granted.
(2) An owner who sustains the loss or damage of any mobile
home occasioned by reason of the issuance of a tax certificate of
title, without fault or negligence of his or her own, has the right
to indemnity limited to the fair cash value of the mobile home less
any liens on the mobile home. In determining the existence of
fault or negligence, the court shall consider whether the owner
exercised ordinary reasonable diligence under all of the relevant
circumstances.
[April 4, 2001] 94
(3) In determining the fair cash value of a mobile home less
any liens on the mobile home, the fair cash value shall be reduced
by the principal amount of all taxes paid by the tax purchaser or
his or her assignee before the issuance of the tax certificate of
title.
(4) If an award made under paragraph (1) or (2) is subject to
a reduction by the amount of an outstanding lien on the mobile
home, other than the principal amount of all taxes paid by the tax
purchaser or his or her assignee before the issuance of the tax
certificate of title and the petitioner would be personally liable
to the lienholder for all or part of that reduction amount, the
court shall order an additional indemnity award to be paid directly
to the lienholder sufficient to discharge the petitioner's personal
liability. The court, in its discretion, may order the joinder of
the lienholder as an additional party to the indemnity action.
(b) Indemnity fund; subrogation.
(1) Any person claiming indemnity hereunder shall petition
the court which ordered the tax certificate of title to issue,
shall name the county treasurer, as trustee of the indemnity fund,
as defendant to the petition, and shall ask that judgment be
entered against the county treasurer, as trustee, in the amount of
the indemnity sought. The provisions of the Civil Practice Law
shall apply to proceedings under the petition, except that neither
the petitioner nor county treasurer shall be entitled to trial by
jury on the issues presented in the petition. The court shall
liberally construe this Section to provide compensation wherever in
the discretion of the Court the equities warrant such action.
(2) The county treasurer, as trustee of the indemnity fund,
shall be subrogated to all parties in whose favor judgment may be
rendered against him or her, and by third party complaint may
bring in as a defendant any person, other than the tax certificate
of title grantee and its successors in title, not a party to the
action who is or may be liable to him or her, as subrogee, for all
or part of the petitioner's claim against him or her.
(c) Any contract involving the proceeds of a judgment for
indemnity under this Section, between the tax certificate of title
grantee or its successors in title and the indemnity petitioner or his
or her successors, shall be in writing. In any action brought under
this Section, the Collector shall be entitled to discovery regarding,
but not limited to, the following:
(1) the identity of all persons beneficially interested in
the contract, directly or indirectly, including at least the
following information: the names and addresses of any natural
persons; the place of incorporation of any corporation and the
names and addresses of its shareholders unless it is publicly held;
the names and addresses of all general and limited partners of any
partnership; the names and addresses of all persons having an
ownership interest in any entity doing business under an assumed
name, and the county in which the assumed business name is
registered; and the nature and extent of the interest in the
contract of each person identified;
(2) the time period during which the contract was negotiated
and agreed upon, from the date of the first direct or indirect
contact between any of the contracting parties to the date of its
execution;
(3) the name and address of each natural person who took part
in negotiating the contract, and the identity and relationship of
the party that the person represented in the negotiations; and
(4) the existence of an agreement for payment of attorney's
fees by or on behalf of each party.
Any information disclosed during discovery may be subject to
protective order as deemed appropriate by the court. The terms of the
contract shall not be used as evidence of value.
Section 250. Indemnity fund fraud.
(a) A person commits the offense of indemnity fund fraud when that
person knowingly:
95 [April 4, 2001]
(1) offers or agrees to become a party to, or to acquire an
interest in, a contract involving the proceeds of a judgment for
indemnity under Section 245 before the end of the period of
redemption from the tax sale to which the judgment relates;
(2) fraudulently induces a party to forego bringing an action
for the recovery of the mobile home;
(3) makes a deceptive misrepresentation during the course of
negotiating an agreement under subsection (c) of Section 245; or
(4) conspires to violate any of the provisions of this
subsection.
(b) Commission of any one act described in subsection (a) is a
Class A misdemeanor. Commission of more than one act described in
subsection (a) during a single course of conduct is a Class 4 felony. A
second or subsequent conviction for violation of any portion of this
Section is a Class 4 felony.
(c) The State's Attorney of the county in which a judgment for
indemnity under Section 245 is entered may bring a civil action in the
name of the People of the State of Illinois against a person who
violates paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of subsection (a). Upon a finding
of liability in the action the court shall enter judgment in favor of
the People in a sum equal to 3 times the amount of the judgment for
indemnity, together with costs of the action and reasonable attorney's
fees. The proceeds of any judgment under this subsection shall be paid
into the general fund of the county.
Section 255. Sales in error.
(a) When, upon application of the county collector, the owner of
the certificate of purchase, or a municipality that owns or has owned
the mobile home ordered sold, it appears to the satisfaction of the
court that ordered the mobile home sold that any of the following
subsections are applicable, the court shall declare the sale to be a
sale in error:
(1) the mobile home was not subject to taxation,
(1.5) the mobile home has been moved to a different location,
(2) the taxes had been paid prior to the sale of the mobile
home,
(3) there is a double computation of the tax,
(4) the description is void for uncertainty,
(5) the assessor, chief county assessment officer, board of
review, board of appeals, or other county official has made an
error (other than an error of judgment as to the value of any
mobile home),
(5.5) the owner of the mobile home had tendered timely and
full payment to the county collector that the owner reasonably
believed was due and owing on the mobile home, and the county
collector did not apply the payment to the mobile home; provided
that this provision applies only to mobile home owners, not their
agents or third-party payors, or
(6) prior to the tax sale a voluntary or involuntary petition
has been filed by or against the legal or beneficial owner of the
mobile home requesting relief under the provisions of 11 U.S.C.
Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13.
(b) When, upon application of the owner of the certificate of
purchase only, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that ordered
the mobile home sold that any of the following subsections are
applicable, the court shall declare the sale to be a sale in error:
(1) A voluntary or involuntary petition under the provisions
of 11 U.S.C. Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13 has been filed subsequent to
the tax sale and prior to the issuance of the tax certificate of
title.
(2) The mobile home sold has been substantially destroyed or
rendered uninhabitable or otherwise unfit for occupancy subsequent
to the tax sale and prior to the issuance of the tax certificate of
title.
If a sale is declared to be a sale in error, the county clerk shall
make entry in the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record,
that the mobile home was erroneously sold, and the county collector
[April 4, 2001] 96
shall, on demand of the owner of the certificate of purchase, refund
the amount paid, pay any interest and costs as may be ordered under
Sections 260 through 280, and cancel the certificate so far as it
relates to the mobile home. The county collector shall deduct from the
accounts of the appropriate taxing bodies their pro rata amounts paid.
Section 260. Interest on refund.
(a) In those cases which arise solely under grounds set forth in
Section 255 or 395, and in no other cases, the court which orders a
sale in error shall also award interest on the refund of the amount
paid for the certificate of purchase, together with all costs paid by
the owner of the certificate of purchase or his or her assignor which
were posted to the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture
record, except as otherwise provided in this Section. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, interest shall be awarded and paid
at the rate of 1% per month from the date of sale to the date of
payment to the tax purchaser, or in an amount equivalent to the penalty
interest which would be recovered on a redemption at the time of
payment pursuant to the order for sale in error, whichever is less.
(b) Interest on the refund to the owner of the certificate of
purchase shall not be paid (i) in any case in which the mobile home
sold has been substantially destroyed or rendered uninhabitable or
otherwise unfit for occupancy, (ii) when the sale in error is made
pursuant to Section 395, or (iii) in any other case where the court
determines that the tax purchaser had actual knowledge prior to the
sale of the grounds on which the sale is declared to be erroneous.
(c) When the county collector files a petition for sale in error
under Section 255 and mails a notice thereof by certified or registered
mail to the tax purchaser, any interest otherwise payable under this
Section shall cease to accrue as of the date the petition is filed,
unless the tax purchaser agrees to an order for sale in error upon the
presentation of the petition to the court. Notices under this
subsection may be mailed to the original owner of the certificate of
purchase, or to the latest assignee, if known. When the owner of the
certificate of purchase contests the collector's petition solely to
determine whether the grounds for sale in error are such as to support
a claim for interest, the court may direct that the principal amount of
the refund be paid to the owner of the certificate of purchase
forthwith. If the court thereafter determines that a claim for interest
lies under this Section, it shall award such interest from the date of
sale to the date the principal amount was paid.
Section 265. Refund of other taxes paid by holder of certificate
of purchase. The court which orders a sale in error shall order the
refund of all other taxes paid by the owner of the certificate of
purchase or his or her assignor which were validly posted to the tax
judgment, sale redemption and forfeiture record subsequent to the tax
sale, together with interest on the other taxes under the same terms as
interest is otherwise payable under Section 260. The interest under
this Section shall be calculated at the rate of 1% per month from the
date the other taxes were paid and not from the date of sale. The
collector shall take credit in settlement of his or her accounts for
the refund of the other taxes as in other cases of sale in error under
Section 255.
Section 270. Orders for payment of interest; counties of 3,000,000
or more. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, all orders for
payment of interest or costs under Sections 260 and 265 shall be paid
as provided in Sections 275, 280, and 285. In all other counties, the
county treasurer may determine in his or her discretion whether payment
of interest and costs shall be made as provided in Sections 275, 280,
and 285. In the other counties, where the treasurer determines not to
make payment as provided in those Sections, the treasurer shall pay any
interest or costs awarded under this Section pro rata from those
accounts where the principal refund of the tax sale purchase price
under Section 255 is taken.
Section 275. Fund for payment of interest. In counties of under
3,000,000 inhabitants, the county board may impose a fee of up to $10,
which shall be paid to the county collector, upon each person
97 [April 4, 2001]
purchasing any mobile home at a sale held under this Act, prior to the
issuance of any certificate of purchase. Each person purchasing any
mobile home at a sale held under this Act in a county with 3,000,000 or
more inhabitants shall pay to the county collector, prior to the
issuance of any certificate of purchase, a fee of $15 for each item
purchased. That amount shall be included in the price paid for the
certificate of purchase and the amount required to redeem under Section
300.
All sums of money received under this Section shall be paid by the
collector to the county treasurer of the county in which the mobile
home is situated for deposit into a special fund. It shall be the duty
of the county treasurer, as trustee of the fund, to invest the
principal and income of the fund from time to time, if not immediately
required for payments under this Section, in investments as are
authorized by Sections 3-10009 and 3-11002 of the Counties Code. The
fund shall be held to satisfy orders for payment of interest and costs
obtained against the county treasurer as trustee of the fund. No
payment shall be made from the fund except by order of the court
declaring a sale in error under Section 255. Any moneys accumulated in
the fund by the county treasurer in excess of $500,000 shall be paid
each year prior to the commencement of the annual tax sale, first to
satisfy any existing unpaid judgments entered pursuant to Section 235,
and any funds remaining thereafter shall be paid to the general fund of
the county.
Section 280. Claims for interest and costs. Any person claiming
interest or costs under Sections 260 through 275 shall include the
claim in his or her petition for sale in error under Section 255. Any
claim for interest or costs which is not included in the petition is
waived, except interest or costs may be awarded to the extent permitted
by this Section upon a sale in error petition filed by the county
collector, without requiring a separate filing by the claimant. Any
order for interest or costs upon the petition for sale in error shall
be deemed to be entered against the county treasurer as trustee of the
fund created by Section 275. The fund shall be the sole source for
payment and satisfaction of orders for interest or costs, except as
otherwise provided in this Section. If the court determines that the
fund has been depleted and will not be restored in time to pay an award
with reasonable promptness, the court may authorize the collector to
pay the interest portion of the award pro rata from those accounts
where the principal refund of the tax sale purchase price under Section
255 is taken.
Section 285. Recovery of amount of tax paid by purchaser at
erroneous sale. In addition to all other remedies, when the purchaser
or assignee of a certificate of purchase that has been declared an
erroneous sale, has paid any tax upon the mobile home sold, which was
not paid by the owner of the mobile home and was not refunded to the
tax purchaser or assignee by the county, the purchaser or assignee may
recover from the owner the amount he or she paid, with 10% interest, as
money paid for the owner's use.
Division 7. Redemption procedures and notice requirements
Section 290. Right of redemption.
(a) Mobile homes sold under this Act may be redeemed only by those
persons having a right of redemption as defined in this Section and
only in accordance with this Act.
A right to redeem a mobile home from any sale under this Act shall
exist in any owner or person interested in that mobile home whether or
not the interest in the mobile home sold is recorded or filed. Any
redemption shall be presumed to have been made by or on behalf of the
owners and persons interested in the mobile home and shall inure to the
benefit of the persons having the certificate of title to the mobile
home redeemed, subject to the right of the person making the redemption
to be reimbursed by the persons benefited.
(b) Any person who desires to redeem and does not desire to
contest the validity of a petition for tax certificate of title may
redeem pursuant to this Section and related Sections of this Act
without submitting a written protest under Section 21-380.
[April 4, 2001] 98
Section 295. Period of redemption. Mobile homes sold under this
Act may be redeemed on or before the expiration of 2 years and 6 months
from the date of sale. If, however, the court that ordered the mobile
home sold, upon the verified petition of the holder of the certificate
of purchase brought within 4 months from the date of sale, finds and
declares that the mobile home is abandoned, then the court may order
that the mobile home may be redeemed at any time on or before the
expiration of 1 year from the date of sale. Notice of the hearing on a
petition to declare the mobile home abandoned shall be given to the
owner or owners of the mobile home and to the person in whose name the
taxes were last assessed, by certified or registered mail sent to their
last known addresses at least 5 days before the date of the hearing.
If the period of redemption has been extended by the certificate
holder as provided in Section 330, the mobile home may be redeemed on
or before the extended redemption date.
Section 300. Amount of redemption. Any person desiring to redeem
shall deposit an amount specified in this Section with the county clerk
of the county in which the mobile home is situated, in legal money of
the United States, or by cashier's check, certified check, post office
money order or money order, issued by a financial institution insured
by an agency or instrumentality of the United States, payable to the
county clerk of the proper county. The deposit shall be deemed timely
only if actually received in person at the county clerk's office prior
to the close of business as defined in Section 3-2007 of the Counties
Code on or before the expiration of the period of redemption or by
United States mail with a post office cancellation mark dated not less
than one day prior to the expiration of the period of redemption. The
deposit shall be in an amount equal to the total of the following:
(a) the certificate amount, which shall include all tax
principal, interest, and penalties paid by the tax purchaser
together with costs and fees of sale and fees paid under Sections
235 and 260 through 280;
(b) the accrued penalty, computed through the date of
redemption as a percentage of the certificate amount, as follows:
(1) if the redemption occurs on or before the expiration
of 6 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount
times the penalty bid at sale;
(2) if the redemption occurs after 6 months from the
date of sale, and on or before the expiration of 12 months
from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 2 times
the penalty bid at sale;
(3) if the redemption occurs after 12 months from the
date of sale and on or before the expiration of 18 months from
the date of sale, the certificate amount times 3 times the
penalty bid at sale;
(4) if the redemption occurs after 18 months from the
date of sale and on or before the expiration of 24 months from
the date of sale, the certificate amount times 4 times the
penalty bid at sale;
(5) if the redemption occurs after 24 months from the
date of sale and on or before the expiration of 30 months from
the date of sale, the certificate amount times 5 times the
penalty bid at sale;
(6) if the redemption occurs after 30 months from the
date of sale and on or before the expiration of 36 months from
the date of sale, the certificate amount times 6 times the
penalty bid at sale.
(c) The total of all taxes, accrued interest on those taxes,
and costs charged in connection with the payment of those taxes,
which have been paid by the tax certificate holder on or after the
date those taxes became delinquent together with 12% penalty on
each amount so paid for each year or portion thereof intervening
between the date of that payment and the date of redemption. In
counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, however, a tax
certificate holder may not pay the subsequent tax for any year, nor
shall any tender of such a payment be accepted, until the
99 [April 4, 2001]
subsequent tax has become delinquent or until after the holder of
the certificate of purchase has filed a petition for a tax
certificate of title under Section 390. The person redeeming shall
also pay the amount of interest charged on the subsequent tax and
paid as a penalty by the tax certificate holder.
(d) Any amount paid to redeem a forfeiture occurring
subsequent to the tax sale together with 12% penalty thereon for
each year or portion thereof intervening between the date of the
forfeiture redemption and the date of redemption from the sale.
(e) Any amount paid by the certificate holder for redemption
of a subsequently occurring tax sale.
(f) All fees paid to the county clerk under Section 22-5.
(g) All fees paid to the circuit clerk and the sheriff or
coroner in connection with the filing of the petition for tax
certificate of title and service of notices under Sections 375
through 390 and 400 in addition to (1) a fee of $35 if a petition
for tax certificate of title has been filed, which fee shall be
posted to the tax judgement, sale, redemption, and forfeiture
record, to be paid to the purchaser or his or her assignee; (2) a
fee of $4 if a notice under Section 365 has been filed, which fee
shall be posted to the tax judgment, sale, redemption, and
forfeiture record, to be paid to the purchaser or his or her
assignee; and (3) all costs paid to record a lis pendens notice in
connection with filing a petition under this Act. The fees in (1)
and (2) of this paragraph (g) shall be exempt from the posting
requirements of Section 305.
(h) All fees paid for publication of notice of the tax sale
in accordance with Section 380.
(i) All sums paid to any city, village or incorporated town
for reimbursement under Section 395.
(j) All costs and expenses of receivership under Section 350,
to the extent that these costs and expenses exceed any income from
the mobile home in question, if the costs and expenditures have
been approved by the court appointing the receiver and a certified
copy of the order or approval is filed and posted by the
certificate holder with the county clerk. Only actual costs
expended may be posted on the tax judgment, sale, redemption and
forfeiture record.
Section 305. Posting requirements. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 300, the county clerk shall not be required to include amounts
described in paragraphs (c) through (j) of Section 300 in the payment
for redemption or the amount received for redemption, nor shall
payment thereof be a charge on the mobile home sold for taxes, unless
the tax certificate holder has filed and posted with the county clerk
prior to redemption and in any event not less than 30 days prior to the
expiration of the period of redemption or extended period of redemption
an official, original or duplicate receipt for payment of those fees,
costs, and expenses permitted under paragraphs (c) through (j) of
Section 300.
Section 310. Deficiency judgment. If the sold mobile home is not
redeemed, a deficiency judgment shall not be taken on account of the
receivership proceedings against the owner or owners of the mobile
home. In the event that income to the receiver exceeds expenditures,
net income is to be deposited with the clerk of the court ordering the
tax sale and shall be distributed as determined by the court ordering
the appointment of the receiver.
Section 315. Redemption of a forfeited mobile home. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 320, any mobile home forfeited to the
State may be redeemed or sold in the following manner:
When a mobile home has been forfeited for delinquent taxes, the
person desiring to redeem shall apply to the county clerk who shall
order the county collector to receive from the person the amount of the
forfeited taxes, statutory costs, interest prior to forfeiture,
printer's fees due thereon and, in addition, forfeiture interest at a
rate of 12% per year or fraction thereof. Upon presentation of the
county clerk's order to the county collector, the collector shall
[April 4, 2001] 100
receive the amount due on account of forfeited taxes and give the
person duplicate receipts, setting forth a description of the mobile
home and amount received. One of the receipts shall be countersigned by
the county clerk and, when so countersigned, shall be evidence of the
redemption of the mobile home. The receipt shall not be valid until it
is countersigned by the county clerk. The other receipt shall be filed
by the county clerk in his or her office, and the clerk shall make a
proper entry of the redemption of the mobile home on the appropriate
books in his or her office and charge the amount of the redemption to
the county collector.
Section 320. Partial redemption of forfeited mobile homes. In
counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, when forfeited taxes on
a mobile home remain unpaid for one or more years, it is permissible to
pay to the county or township collector, one or more full years of back
or forfeited taxes, interest prior to forfeiture, statutory costs,
printers' fees, and forfeiture interest or penalties, attaching thereto
beginning with the earliest year for which the taxes are unpaid. In no
case shall payment on account of a designated years' taxes be accepted
unless the sums due for prior years have first been paid or are
tendered at the same time.
Any person seeking to make payments under this Section shall notify
the county clerk of his or her intention in person or by agent or in
writing. If notice is given while the collector has possession of the
collector's books, the county clerk shall prepare an addendum to be
presented to the collector and attached, by the collector, to the
collector's books on which the description of the mobile home involved
appears, which addendum shall become a part of the collector's books.
If notice is given after the tax sale, but before receipt by the county
collector of the current collector's books, the county clerk shall
prepare an addendum and attach it to the Tax Judgment, Sale,
Redemption, and Forfeiture record, on which the mobile home involved
appears, which addendum shall become a part of that record.
The addendum shall show separately, for the year or years to be
paid, (a) the amount of back or forfeited taxes, (b) interest prior to
forfeiture, (c) statutory costs and printers' fees, and (d) forfeiture
interest or penalties attaching thereto. The county clerk shall, at the
same time, order the county or town collector to receive from the
person the amount due on account of the taxes, for the year or years
determined as provided above, of the back or forfeited taxes, interest
prior to forfeiture, statutory costs, printers' fees, and forfeiture
interest or penalties to date attaching to the back or forfeited taxes.
Upon presentation of the order from the county clerk, and receipt
of the addendum if the books are in the collector's possession, the
collector shall receive the sum tendered on account of the taxes for
the year or years designated, and make out duplicate receipts therefor.
The receipts shall set forth a description of the mobile home, the year
or years paid, and the total amount received. One copy of the receipt
shall be given the person making payment and, when countersigned by the
county clerk, shall be evidence of the payment therein set forth. The
second copy shall be filed by the county clerk in his or her office.
If the collector's books are in the collector's possession, he or
she shall enter the payment on the current collector's books or
addendum, and he or she shall also enter any unpaid balance on the Tax
Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture record at the proper time.
After the tax sale and before receipt by the county collector of
the current collector's books, the county clerk shall make a proper
entry on the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture record, and
shall charge the county collector with the sum received. The county
clerk shall also enter any unpaid balance on the county collector's
books at the proper time.
The county collector shall distribute all sums received as required
by law.
Section 325. Redemption under protest. Any person redeeming under
this Section at a time subsequent to the filing of a petition under
Section 390 or 360, who desires to preserve his or her right to defend
against the petition for a tax certificate of title, shall accompany
101 [April 4, 2001]
the deposit for redemption with a writing substantially in the
following form:
Redemption Under Protest
Tax Deed Case No. .....................................................
Vol. No. ..............................................................
Mobile Home Vehicle Identification No.
(or other unique description)......................................
Original Amount of Tax $...............................................
Amount Deposited for Redemption $......................................
Name of Petitioner.....................................................
Tax Year Included in Judgment..........................................
Date of Sale...........................................................
Expiration Date of the Period of Redemption............................
To the county clerk of ........ County:
This redemption is made under protest for the following reasons:
(here set forth and specify the grounds relied upon for the objection)
Name of party redeeming................................................
Address................................................................
Any grounds for the objection not specified at the time of the
redemption under protest shall not be considered by the court. The
specified grounds for the objections shall be limited to those defenses
as would provide sufficient basis to deny entry of an order for
issuance of a tax certificate of title. Nothing in this Section shall
be construed to authorize or revive any objection to the tax sale or
underlying taxes which was estopped by entry of the order for sale as
set forth in Section 420.
The person protesting shall present to the county clerk 3 copies of
the written protest signed by himself or herself. The clerk shall
write or stamp the date of receipt upon the copies and sign them. He
or she shall retain one of the copies, another he or she shall deliver
to the person making the redemption, who shall file the copy with the
clerk of the court in which the tax certificate of title petition is
pending, and the third he or she shall forward to the petitioner named
therein.
The county clerk shall enter the redemption as provided in Section
165 and shall note the redemption under protest. The redemption money
so deposited shall not be distributed to the holder of the certificate
of purchase but shall be retained by the county clerk pending
disposition of the petition filed under Section 390.
Redemption under protest constitutes the appearance of the person
protesting in the proceedings under Sections 390 through 412 and that
person shall present a defense to the petition for tax certificate of
title at the time which the court directs. Failure to appear and
defend shall constitute a waiver of the protest and the court shall
order the redemption money distributed to the holder of the certificate
of purchase upon surrender of that certificate and shall dismiss the
proceedings.
When the party redeeming appears and presents a defense, the court
shall hear and determine the matter. If the defense is not sustained,
the court shall order the protest stricken and direct the county clerk
to distribute the redemption money upon surrender of the certificate of
purchase and shall order the party redeeming to pay the petitioner
reasonable expenses, actually incurred, including the cost of withheld
redemption money, together with a reasonable attorneys fee. Upon a
finding sustaining the protest in whole or in part, the court may
declare the sale to be a sale in error under Section 255 or Section
405, and shall direct the county clerk to return all or part of the
redemption money or deposit to the party redeeming.
Section 330. Extension of period of redemption. The purchaser or
his or her assignee of a mobile home sold for nonpayment of taxes may
extend the period of redemption at any time before the expiration of
the original period of redemption, or thereafter prior to the
expiration of any extended period of redemption, for a period which
will expire not later than 3 years from the date of sale, by filing
with the county clerk of the county in which the mobile home is located
a written notice to that effect describing the mobile home, stating the
[April 4, 2001] 102
date of the sale and specifying the extended period of redemption. If
prior to the expiration of the period of redemption or extended period
of redemption a petition for tax certificate of title has been filed
under Section 390, upon application of the petitioner, the court shall
allow the purchaser or his or her assignee to extend the period of
redemption after expiration of the original period or any extended
period of redemption, provided that any extension allowed will expire
not later than 3 years from the date of sale. If the period of
redemption is extended, the purchaser or his or her assignee must give
the notices provided for in Section 370 at the specified times prior to
the expiration of the extended period of redemption by causing a
sheriff (or if he or she is disqualified, a coroner) of the county in
which the mobile home, or any part thereof, is located to serve the
notices as provided in Sections 375 and 380. The notices may also be
served as provided in Sections 375 and 380 by a special process server
appointed by the court under Section 375.
Section 335. Effect of receipt of redemption money, forfeiture,
withdrawal, or return of certificate. The receipt of the redemption
money on any mobile home by any purchaser or assignee, on account of
any forfeiture or withdrawal, or the return of the certificate of
purchase, withdrawal or forfeiture for cancellation, shall operate as a
release of the claim to the mobile home under, or by virtue of, the
purchase, withdrawal, or forfeiture. However, when a certificate of
purchase has been recorded in the office of the county recorder by any
city, incorporated town, or village with 1,000,000 or more inhabitants
in which the mobile home is situated, the recording of a certificate by
the county clerk, reciting the cancellation of the certificate of
purchase on the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record,
shall operate as a release of the lien of the city, incorporated town,
or village under the certificate of purchase.
Section 340. County clerk to pay successor redemption money
collected. At the expiration of his or her term of office, the county
clerk shall pay over to the successor in office all moneys in his or
her hands received for redemption from sale for taxes on a mobile home.
Section 345. Notice of order setting aside redemption. In counties
with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, if an order is entered setting
aside a redemption made within the time allowed by law after a petition
for tax certificate of title has been filed, the holder of the
certificate of purchase shall mail a copy of the order within 7 days of
entry of the order by registered or certified mail to the county clerk,
to the person who made the redemption, and to all parties entitled to
notice of the petition under Section 370, 375, or 385. The order shall
provide that any person who was entitled to redeem may pay to the
county clerk within 30 days after the entry of the order the amount
necessary to redeem the mobile home from the sale as of the last day of
the period of redemption. The county clerk shall make an entry in the
annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record reflecting
the entry of the order and shall immediately upon request provide an
estimate of the amount required to effect a redemption as of the last
date of the period of redemption. If the amount is paid within 30 days
after entry of the order, then the court shall enter an order
declaring the taxes to be paid as if the mobile home had been redeemed
within the time required by law and dismissing the petition for tax
certificate of title. A tax certificate of title shall not be issued
within the 30-day period. Upon surrender of the certificate of
purchase, the county clerk shall distribute the funds deposited as if a
timely redemption had been made.
Division 8. Other procedures
Section 350. Waste; appointment of receiver. After any sale of
mobile homes under this Act and until a tax certificate of title has
been issued or until redemption has been made, no waste shall be
committed on any of the mobile homes involved. The court which ordered
the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of
the certificate of purchase, take such action as the court deems
necessary and desirable to prevent the commission of waste.
If the mobile home sold is abandoned or if any municipality or
103 [April 4, 2001]
other local governmental body has legal action pending because the
mobile home violates local building, housing, or fire ordinances, or
mobile home park rules and regulations, or because the taxes on the
mobile home are delinquent for 2 or more years, the court which ordered
the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of
the certificate of purchase, enter an order for appointment of a
receiver. Notice of the hearing for appointment of the receiver shall
be given to the owner or owners of the mobile home and to the person in
whose name the taxes were last assessed, by certified or registered
mail sent to their last known addresses, at least 5 days prior to the
date of the hearing.
The receiver may take only that action, subject to court approval,
as is necessary for the preservation of the mobile home or is necessary
to correct conditions at the mobile home that fail to conform to
minimum standards of health and safety, as set forth in local
ordinances or mobile home park rules and regulations. If a receiver is
appointed, all costs and expenses advanced by the receiver shall be
repaid as provided for in Section 300 before any redemption is
considered complete. The receiver shall be discharged upon redemption
from the tax sale or upon entry of an order directing issuance of a tax
certificate of title. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent
a court from appointing the holder of the certificate of purchase as
receiver. The holder of the certificate of purchase shall be made a
party to any action or proceeding to demolish or destroy a mobile home
where the mobile home has been sold for failure to pay taxes and the
period of redemption has not expired.
Section 355. Action for collection of taxes. The county board may,
at any time after final judgment and order of sale against a delinquent
mobile home under Section 120, institute a civil action in the name of
the People of the State of Illinois in the circuit court for the whole
amount due for taxes on the delinquent or forfeited mobile home. Any
county, city, village, incorporated town, school district or other
municipal corporation to which any tax is due, may, at any time after
final judgment under Section 120, institute a civil action in its own
name, in the circuit court, for the amount of the tax due to it on the
delinquent or forfeited mobile home, and prosecute the same to final
judgment. On the sale of any mobile home following judgment in the
civil action, the county, city, village, incorporated town, school
district or other municipal corporation, interested in the collection
of the tax, may become purchaser at the sale. If the mobile home so
sold is not redeemed the purchaser may acquire, hold, sell or dispose
of the title thereto, the same as individuals may do under the laws of
this State. In any action for delinquent or forfeited taxes, the fact
that the mobile home was assessed to a person shall be prima facie
evidence that the person was the owner thereof, and was liable for the
taxes for the year or years for which the assessment was made. That
fact may be proved by the introduction in evidence of the proper
assessment book or roll, or other competent proof. Any judgment
rendered for delinquent or forfeited taxes under this Section shall
include the costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees.
Section 360. Tax foreclosure proceedings. In tax foreclosure
proceedings, the purchaser or assignee shall file a petition for a
certificate of title in the proceeding in which the foreclosure order
was entered. Notice of the filing of the petition and of the hearing
on the petition shall be given in conformity with rule or practice of
court in regard to motions as in other civil actions.
Division 9. Tax certificates of title and procedures
Section 365. Notice of sale and redemption rights. In order to be
entitled to a tax certificate of title, within 4 months and 15 days
after any sale held under this Act, the purchaser or his or her
assignee shall deliver to the county clerk a notice to be given to the
party in whose name the taxes are last assessed as shown by the most
recent tax collector's warrant books, in at least 10 point type in the
following form completely filled in:

Purchaser or Assignee.
In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the notice shall
also state the address, room number and time at which the matter is set
for hearing.
Section 375. Service of notice. The purchaser or his or her
assignee shall give the notice required by Section 370 by causing it to
be published in a newspaper as set forth in Section 380. In addition,
the notice shall be served by a sheriff (or if he or she is
disqualified, by a coroner) of the county in which the mobile home is
located upon owners who reside in the mobile home sold by leaving a
copy of the notice with those owners personally.
In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants where a taxing
district is a petitioner for tax certificate of title pursuant to
Section 35, in lieu of service by the sheriff or coroner the notice may
be served by a special process server appointed by the circuit court as
provided in this Section. The taxing district may move prior to filing
one or more petitions for tax certificate of title for appointment of
such a special process server. The court, upon being satisfied that
the person named in the motion is at least 18 years of age and is
capable of serving notice as required under this Act, shall enter an
order appointing such person as a special process server for a period
of one year. The appointment may be renewed for successive periods of
one year each by motion and order, and a copy of the original and any
subsequent order shall be filed in each tax certificate of title case
in which a notice is served by the appointed person. Delivery of the
notice to and service of the notice by the special process server shall
have the same force and effect as its delivery to and service by the
sheriff or coroner.
The same form of notice shall also be served upon all other owners
and parties interested in the mobile home, if upon diligent inquiry
they can be found in the county, and upon the occupants of the mobile
home in the following manner:
(a) as to individuals, by (1) leaving a copy of the notice
with the person personally or (2) by leaving a copy at his or her
usual place of residence with a person of the family, of the age of
13 years or more, and informing that person of its contents. The
person making the service shall cause a copy of the notice to be
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to
that party at his or her usual place of residence;
(b) as to public and private corporations, municipal,
governmental and quasi-municipal corporations, partnerships,
receivers and trustees of corporations, by leaving a copy of the
notice with the person designated by the Civil Practice Law.
When a party interested in the mobile home is a trustee, notice
served upon the trustee shall be deemed to have been served upon any
[April 4, 2001] 106
beneficiary or note holder thereunder unless the holder of the note is
disclosed of record.
When a judgment is a lien upon the mobile home sold, the holder of
the lien shall be served with notice if the name of the judgment debtor
as shown in the transcript, certified copy or memorandum of judgment
filed of record is identical, as to given name and surname, with the
name of the party interested as it appears of record.
If any owner or party interested, upon diligent inquiry and effort,
cannot be found or served with notice in the county as provided in this
Section, and the person in actual occupancy and possession is tenant
to, or in possession under the owners or the parties interested in the
mobile home, then service of notice upon the tenant, occupant or person
in possession shall be deemed service upon the owners or parties
interested.
If any owner or party interested, upon diligent inquiry and effort
cannot be found or served with notice in the county, then the person
making the service shall cause a copy of the notice to be sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to that party
at his or her residence, if ascertainable.
Section 380. Proof of service of notice; publication of notice.
The sheriff or coroner serving notice under Section 375 shall endorse
his or her return thereon and file it with the clerk of the circuit
court and it shall be a part of the court record. A special process
server appointed under Section 375 shall make his or her return by
affidavit and shall file it with the clerk of the circuit court, where
it shall be a part of the court record. If a sheriff, special process
server, or coroner to whom any notice is delivered for service,
neglects or refuses to make the return, the purchaser or his or her
assignee may petition the court to enter a rule requiring the sheriff,
special process server, or coroner to make return of the notice on a
day to be fixed by the court, or to show cause on that day why he or
she should not be attached for contempt of the court. The purchaser or
assignee shall cause a written notice of the rule to be served upon the
sheriff, special process server, or coroner. If good and sufficient
cause to excuse the sheriff, special process server, or coroner is not
shown, the court shall adjudge him or her guilty of a contempt, and
shall proceed to punish him as in other cases of contempt.
If the mobile home is located in a municipality in a county with
less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the purchaser or his or her assignee
shall also publish a notice as to the owner or party interested, in
some newspaper published in the municipality. If the mobile home is
not in a municipality in a county with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants,
or if no newspaper is published therein, or if the mobile home is in a
county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the notice shall be
published in some newspaper in the county. If no newspaper is
published in the county, then the notice shall be published in the
newspaper that is published nearest the county seat of the county in
which the mobile home is located. If the owners and parties interested
in the mobile home upon diligent inquiry are unknown to the purchaser
or his or her assignee, the publication as to such owner or party
interested, may be made to unknown owners or parties interested. Any
notice by publication given under this Section shall be given 3 times
at any time after filing a petition for tax certificate of title, but
not less than 3 months nor more than 5 months prior to the expiration
of the period of redemption. The publication shall contain (a) notice
of the filing of the petition for tax certificate of title, (b) the
date on which the petitioner intends to make application for an order
on the petition that a tax certificate of title issue, (c) a
description of the mobile home, (d) the date upon which the mobile home
was sold, (e) the taxes for which it was sold and (f) the date on which
the period of redemption will expire. The publication shall not include
more than one mobile home listed and sold in one description, except as
provided in Section 35, and except that when more than one mobile home
is owned by one person, all of the mobile homes owned by that person
may be included in one notice.
Section 385. Mailed notice. In addition to the notice required to
107 [April 4, 2001]
be served not less than 3 months nor more than 5 months prior to the
expiration of the period of redemption, the purchaser or his or her
assignee shall prepare and deliver to the clerk of the circuit court of
the county in which the mobile home is located, the notice provided for
in this Section, together with the statutory costs for mailing the
notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. The form of notice
to be mailed by the clerk shall be identical in form to that provided
by Section 370 for service upon owners residing in the mobile home
sold, except that it shall bear the signature of the clerk and shall
designate the parties to whom it is to be mailed. The clerk may
furnish the form. The clerk shall promptly mail the notices delivered
to him or her by certified mail, return receipt requested. The
certificate of the clerk that he or she has mailed the notices,
together with the return receipts, shall be filed in and made a part of
the court record. The notices shall be mailed to the owners of the
mobile home at their last known addresses, and to those persons who are
entitled to service of notice as occupants.
Section 390. Petition for certificate of title. At any time
within 5 months but not less than 3 months prior to the expiration of
the redemption period for a mobile home sold pursuant to judgment and
order of sale under Sections 55 through 65 or 200, the purchaser or his
or her assignee may file a petition in the circuit court in the same
proceeding in which the judgment and order of sale were entered, asking
that the court direct the county clerk to issue a tax certificate of
title if the mobile home is not redeemed from the sale. The petition
shall be accompanied by the statutory filing fee.
Notice of filing the petition and the date on which the petitioner
intends to apply for an order on the petition that a certificate of
title be issued if the mobile home is not redeemed shall be given to
occupants, owners, and persons interested in the mobile home as part of
the notice provided in Sections 370 through 385, except that only one
publication is required. The county clerk shall be notified of the
filing of the petition and any person owning or interested in the
mobile home may, if he or she desires, appear in the proceeding.
Section 395. Reimbursement of municipality before issuance of tax
certificate of title. An order for the issuance of a tax certificate
of title under this Act shall not be entered affecting the title to or
interest in any mobile home in which a city, village, or incorporated
town has an interest under the police and welfare power by advancements
made from public funds, until the purchaser or assignee makes
reimbursement to the city, village, or incorporated town of the money
so advanced or the city, village, or town waives its lien on the mobile
home for the money so advanced. However, in lieu of reimbursement or
waiver, the purchaser or his or her assignee may make application for
and the court shall order that the tax purchase be set aside as a sale
in error. A filing or appearance fee shall not be required of a city,
village, or incorporated town seeking to enforce its claim under this
Section in a tax certificate of title proceeding.
Section 400. Issuance of certificate of title; possession.
(a) If the redemption period expires and the mobile home has not
been redeemed and all taxes which became due and payable subsequent to
the sale have been paid and all forfeitures and sales which occur
subsequent to the sale have been redeemed and the notices required by
law have been given and all advancements of public funds under the
police power made by a city, village, or town under Section 395 have
been paid and the petitioner has complied with all the provisions of
law entitling him or her to a certificate of title, the court shall so
find and shall enter an order directing the Secretary of State on the
production of the certificate of purchase and a certified copy of the
order, to issue to the purchaser or his or her assignee a tax
certificate of title. The court shall insist on strict compliance with
Section 370 through 385. Prior to the entry of an order directing the
issuance of a tax certificate of title, the petitioner shall furnish
the court with a report of proceedings of the evidence received on the
application for tax certificate of title and the report of proceedings
shall be filed and made a part of the court record.
[April 4, 2001] 108
(b) If taxes for years prior to the year sold remain delinquent at
the time of the tax certificate of title hearing, those delinquent
taxes may be merged into the tax certificate of title if the court
determines that all other requirements for receiving an order directing
the issuance of the tax certificate of title are fulfilled and makes a
further determination under either paragraph (1) or (2).
(1) Incomplete estimate.
(A) The mobile home in question was purchased at an
annual sale; and
(B) the statement and estimate of forfeited taxes
furnished by the county clerk pursuant to Section 175 failed
to include all delinquent taxes as of the date of that
estimate's issuance.
(2) Vacating order.
(A) The petitioner furnishes the court with a certified
copy of an order vacating a prior sale for the subject mobile
home;
(B) the order vacating the sale was entered after the
date of purchase for the subject taxes;
(C) the sale in error was granted pursuant to paragraphs
(1), (2), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section 255 or Section
395; and
(D) the tax purchaser who received the sale in error has
no affiliation, direct or indirect, with the petitioner in the
present proceeding and that petitioner has signed an affidavit
attesting to the lack of affiliation.
If delinquent taxes are merged into the tax certificate of title
pursuant to this subsection, a declaration to that effect shall be
included in the order directing issuance of the tax certificate of
title. Nothing contained in this Section shall relieve any owner
liable for delinquent mobile home taxes under the Mobile Home Local
Services Tax Act from the payment of the taxes that have been merged
into the title upon issuance of the tax certificate of title.
(c) Upon application the court shall, enter an order to place the
tax certificate of title grantee in possession of the mobile home and
may enter orders and grant relief as may be necessary or desirable to
maintain the grantee in possession.
Section 402. Mobile homes located in manufactured home community;
requirements. The person who acquires a certificate of title under
Section 400 for a mobile home located on a lot in a manufactured home
community is liable for lot rent (at the prevailing rate) beginning on
the day the certificate of title is issued and shall either (i) qualify
for tenancy in the manufactured home community in accordance with the
community's normal tenant qualification and screening procedures or
(ii) remove the mobile home from the lot not later than 30 days after
the date the certificate of title is issued.
Section 405. Tax certificate of title incontestable unless order
appealed or relief petitioned. Tax certificates of title issued under
Section 395 are incontestable except by appeal from the order of the
court directing the county clerk to issue the tax certificate of title.
However, relief from such order may be had under Section 2-1401 of the
Code of Civil Procedure in the same manner and to the same extent as
may be had under that Section with respect to final orders and
judgments in other proceedings. The grounds for relief under Section
2-1401 shall be limited to:
(1) proof that the taxes were paid prior to sale;
(2) proof that the mobile home was exempt from taxation;
(3) proof by clear and convincing evidence that the tax
certificate of title had been procured by fraud or deception by the tax
purchaser or his or her assignee; or
(4) proof by a person or party holding a recorded ownership or
other recorded interest in the mobile home that he or she was not named
as a party in the publication notice as set forth in Section 380, and
that the tax purchaser or his or her assignee did not make a diligent
inquiry and effort to serve that person or party with the notices
required by Sections 370 through 390.
109 [April 4, 2001]
In cases of the sale of a mobile home in counties with 3,000,000 or
more inhabitants, a tax certificate of title may also be voided by the
court upon petition, filed not more than 3 months after an order for
tax certificate of title was entered, if the court finds that the
mobile home was owner occupied on the expiration date of the period of
redemption and that the order for certificate of title was effectuated
pursuant to a negligent or willful error made by an employee of the
county clerk or county collector during the period of redemption from
the sale that was reasonably relied upon to the detriment of any person
having a redeemable interest. In such a case, the tax purchaser shall
be entitled to the original amount required to redeem the mobile home
plus interest from the sale as of the last date of redemption together
with costs actually expended subsequent to the expiration of the period
of redemption and reasonable attorney's fees, all of which shall be
dispensed from the fund created by Section 235. In those cases of error
where the court vacates the tax certificate of title, it may award the
petitioner reasonable attorney's fees and court costs actually
expended, payable from that fund. The court hearing a petition filed
under this Section or Section 2-1401 of the Act of Civil Procedure may
concurrently hear a petition filed under Section 235 and may grant
relief under either Section.
Section 410. Denial of certificate of title. If the court refuses
to enter an order directing the Secretary of State to execute and
deliver the tax certificate of title, because of the failure of the
purchaser to fulfill any of the above provisions, and if the purchaser,
or his or her assignee has made a bona fide attempt to comply with the
statutory requirements for the issuance of the tax certificate of
title, it shall order the return of the purchase price, and subsequent
taxes and posted costs forthwith, as in case of sales in error, except
that no interest shall be paid.
Section 412. Tax certificate of titles to convey merchantable
title. This Section shall be liberally construed so that tax
certificate of titles shall convey merchantable title.
Section 415. Form of certificate of title. A tax certificate of
title executed by the Secretary of State vests in the grantee the
certificate of title of the mobile home therein described without
further acknowledgment or evidence of the conveyance. The conveyance
shall be substantially in the following form:
At a public sale of mobile homes for the nonpayment of taxes, held
in the .... County, on (insert date), the following described mobile
home was sold: (here place description of mobile home conveyed). The
mobile home not having been redeemed from the sale, and it appearing
that the holder of the certificate of purchase of the mobile home has
complied with the laws of the State of Illinois necessary to entitle
(insert him, her or them) to a certificate of title of the mobile home:
I ...., (Secretary of State official) ...., in consideration of the
mobile home and by virtue of the statutes of the State of Illinois in
such cases provided, issue a certificate of title to .... for the
mobile home described above.
Dated (insert date).
Signature of ....................
(Secretary of State)
Section 420. Certificate of title; prima facie evidence of
regularity of sale.
(a) As to the mobile home conveyed therein, tax certificates of
title executed by the Secretary of State are prima facie evidence of
the following facts in all controversies and suits in relation to the
rights of the tax certificate of title grantee and his or her heirs or
assigns:
(1) the mobile home conveyed was subject to taxation at the
time the tax was charged and was listed and charged in the time and
manner required by law;
(2) the taxes were not paid at any time before the sale;
(3) the mobile home was advertised for sale in the manner and
for the length of time required by law;
(4) the mobile home was sold for taxes as stated in the
[April 4, 2001] 110
certificate of title;
(5) the sale was conducted in the manner required by law;
(6) the mobile home conveyed was not redeemed from the sale
within the time permitted by law;
(7) the grantee in the certificate of title was the purchaser
or assignee of the purchaser.
(b) Any order for the sale of a mobile home for delinquent taxes,
except as otherwise provided in this Section, shall estop all parties
from raising any objections to the order or to a tax certificate of
title based thereon, which existed at or before the rendition of the
order, and which could have been presented as a defense to the
application for the order. The order itself is conclusive evidence of
its regularity and validity in all collateral proceedings, except in
cases where the tax was paid prior to the sale or the mobile home was
exempt from taxes.
Section 425. Order of court setting aside tax certificate of
title; payments to holder of certificate of title.
(a) Any order of court vacating an order directing the Secretary
of State to issue a tax certificate of title based upon a finding that
the mobile home was not subject to taxation, or that the taxes had been
paid prior to the sale of the mobile home, or that the tax sale was
otherwise void, shall declare the tax sale to be a sale in error
pursuant to Section 255 of this Act. The order shall direct the county
collector to refund to the tax certificate of title grantee or his or
her successors and assigns (or, if a tax certificate of title has not
yet issued, the holder of the certificate of purchase) the following
amounts:
(1) all taxes purchased, paid, or redeemed by the tax
purchaser or his or her assignee, or by the tax certificate of
title grantee or his or her successors and assigns, whether before
or after entry of the order for tax certificate of title, with
interest at the rate of 1% per month from the date each amount was
paid until the date of payment pursuant to this Section;
(2) all costs paid and posted to the judgment record and not
included in paragraph (1) of this subsection (a); and
(3) court reporter fees for the hearing on the application
for tax certificate of title and transcript thereof, cost of
certification of tax certificate of title order, cost of issuance
of tax certificate of title, and cost of transferring certificate
of title to the tax purchaser.
(b) Except in those cases described in subsection (a) of this
Section, and unless the court on motion of the tax certificate of title
petitioner extends the redemption period to a date not later than 3
years from the date of sale, any order of court finding that an order
directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title
should be vacated shall direct the party who successfully contested the
entry of the order to pay to the tax certificate of title grantee or
his or her successors and assigns (or, if a tax certificate of title
has not yet issued, the holder of the certificate) within 90 days after
the date of the finding:
(1) the amount necessary to redeem the mobile home from the
sale as of the last day of the period of redemption, except that,
if the sale is a scavenger sale pursuant to Section 200 of this
Act, the redemption amount shall not include an amount equal to all
delinquent taxes on such mobile home which taxes were delinquent at
the time of sale; and
(2) amounts in satisfaction of municipal liens paid by the
tax purchaser or his or her assignee, and the amounts specified in
paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (a) of this Section, to the
extent the amounts are not included in paragraph (1) of this
subsection (b).
If the payment is not made within the 90-day period, the petition
to vacate the order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax
certificate of title shall be denied with prejudice, and the order
directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title
shall remain in full force and effect. No final order vacating any
111 [April 4, 2001]
order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of
title shall be entered pursuant to this subsection (b) until the
payment has been made.
Section 430. Failure to timely transfer certificate of title; tax
certificate of title is void. Unless the holder of the certificate
purchased at any tax sale under this Act transfers the certificate of
title within one year from and after the time for redemption expires,
the certificate of purchase or order for tax certificate of title, and
the sale on which it is based, shall, after the expiration of the one
year period, be absolutely void with no right to reimbursement. If the
holder of the certificate of purchase is prevented from obtaining a
certificate of title by injunction or order of any court, or by the
refusal or inability of any court to act upon the application for a tax
certificate of title, or by the refusal of the Secretary of State to
execute the same certificate of title, the time he or she is so
prevented shall be excluded from computation of the one year period.
Certificates of purchase and orders for tax certificates of title
executed by the court shall recite the qualifications required in this
Section.
Division 900. Amendatory provisions
Section 905. The Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act is amended by
changing Sections 6, 8, 9, and 10.1 as follows:
(35 ILCS 515/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 1206)
Sec. 6. Computation, certification, and distribution of tax.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, within 60 days of receipt
of each registration form, the county clerk or, in counties in which a
county assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax
Code, the county assessor shall compute the tax due, as provided in
Section 3, and certify the tax to the county treasurer who shall mail
the tax bill to the owner of such mobile home at the time he receives
the certification or on the annual billing date, whichever occurs
later. If the registration form is accompanied by a receipt for
privilege taxes paid in Illinois for the current tax year, no further
privilege tax shall be imposed for the remainder of the current tax
year. If the mobile home is initially harbored after the annual
liability date, as provided in Section 3 of this Act, the county clerk
or county assessor shall reduce such tax 1/12 for each month that has
passed since such annual liability date. A mobile home harbored after
the first day of such month shall be considered to have been harbored
for the entire month for the purposes of this Section. Thereafter, for
taxable years prior to taxable year 2002, except for the year 1976, the
county clerk or county assessor shall compute such tax as of the first
day of June of each year and certify the tax to the county treasurer.
For taxable year 2002 and thereafter, the county clerk or county
assessor shall compute the tax as of the first day of March of each
year and certify the tax to the county treasurer. Such tax shall be due
and payable to the county treasurer within 60 days after the treasurer
mails the tax bill to the address of record. The county treasurer
shall distribute such taxes to the local taxing districts within the
boundaries of which such mobile homes are located, in the same
proportion as the property taxes collectible for each such taxing
district in the prior year.
In order to effect the change of the annual billing date and the
date of liability, provided for by this amendatory Act of 1975, the
county clerk shall compute such tax as of July 1, 1976, for the 1/2
year period from July 1, 1976, through December 31, 1976, at 1/2 the
amount of the annual tax. The tax for such period shall be certified,
billed, collected and distributed in the same manner as is provided in
this Section as taxes for a full year, and shall be subject to a
proportionate reduction if the mobile home is initially harbored after
July 1, 1976 and before January 1, 1977.

(35 ILCS 515/8) (from Ch. 120, par. 1208)
Sec. 8. Failure to pay tax; lien. If any local services tax
imposed by this Act is not paid when due, the county treasurer of the
county in which the mobile home is located shall have a lien on the
[April 4, 2001] 112
mobile home for the amount of the tax, addition to the tax, penalty and
interest due. The treasurer shall notify the taxpayer in writing of
the existence of the lien. Such lien shall terminate (i) unless the
county treasurer files with the county recorder of the county in which
the mobile home is located a notice of lien, within one year of such
tax due date or (ii) if the county treasurer applies for judgment and
order of sale for delinquent taxes on mobile homes pursuant to the
provisions of the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Enforcement Act and
the taxes are sold. From the time of the filing, the amount set forth
in the certificate also constitutes a lien upon all property of the
taxpayer then owned by him or thereafter acquired by him in the period
before the expiration of the lien. Such liens have the same force,
effect and priority as a judgment lien and continue for 10 years from
the date of the recording unless sooner released or otherwise
discharged. The county treasurer may, at any time, release all or any
portion of the property subject to any lien provided for in this Act or
subordinate the lien to other liens if he determines that the taxes are
sufficiently secured by a lien or other property of the taxpayer or
that the release or subordination of the lien will not endanger or
jeopardize the collection of the taxes.
If the owner of a mobile home upon which the tax has not been paid
does not make payment within 6 months after a lien has been filed,
civil action may be instituted by the collector for the amount of the
tax, plus interest, penalties and costs. If sale of the property is
ordered, the court may direct the sale to be made in cash or on such
terms as it may deem in the best interests of all parties. The court
may direct that such sale be held by the sheriff or in open court.

(35 ILCS 515/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 1209)
Sec. 9. Additional charge for delinquent taxes; penalty for fraud.
For taxable years prior to 2002, if any local services tax, or part
thereof, imposed by this Act is not paid on or before the due date for
such tax, interest on such amount at the rate of 1 1/2% per month shall
be paid for the period from such due date to the date of payment of
such amount. For taxable year 2002 and thereafter, if any local
services tax, or part thereof, imposed by this Act is not paid on or
before the due date for such tax, the taxpayer shall be required to pay
an additional $100. If such failure to pay such tax is the result of
fraud, there shall be added to the tax as a penalty an amount equal to
50% of the deficiency.

(35 ILCS 515/10.1) (from Ch. 120, par. 1210.1)
Sec. 10.1. Notice to assessor of ownership change. An operator of a
mobile home park licensed under the provisions of the Mobile Home Park
Act and any land owner on which an inhabited mobile home is located "An
Act to provide for, license and regulate mobile homes and mobile home
parks and to repeal an Act named herein", approved September 8, 1971,
as amended, shall notify the township assessor, if any, or the
Supervisor of Assessments or county assessor if there is no township
assessor, or the county assessor in those counties in which a county
assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax Code,
when a change in ownership occurs in a mobile home located in such a
park or on such land. Such notification shall include the same
information for the new owner as that contained in the registration
form required of mobile home park operators and mobile home owners by
Section 4 of this Act.
(Source: P.A. 88-670, eff. 12-2-94.)
Section 910. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing
Section 3-114 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-114) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-114)
(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 91-893)
Sec. 3-114. Transfer by operation of law.
(a) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
other than by voluntary transfer, the transferee shall, except as
provided in paragraph (b), promptly mail or deliver within 20 days to
the Secretary of State the last certificate of title, if available,
113 [April 4, 2001]
proof of the transfer, and his application for a new certificate in the
form the Secretary of State prescribes. It shall be unlawful for any
person having possession of a certificate of title for a motor vehicle,
semi-trailer, or house car by reason of his having a lien or
encumbrance on such vehicle, to fail or refuse to deliver such
certificate to the owner, upon the satisfaction or discharge of the
lien or encumbrance, indicated upon such certificate of title.
(b) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
under the provisions of the Small Estates provisions of the Probate Act
of 1975 the transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary
of State, within 120 days, the last certificate of title, if available,
the documentation required under the provisions of the Probate Act of
1975, and an application for certificate of title. The Small Estate
Affidavit form shall be furnished by the Secretary of State. The
transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(c) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
under other provisions of the Probate Act of 1975, as amended, and the
transfer is made by a representative or guardian, such transferee shall
promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State, the last
certificate of title, if available, and a certified copy of the letters
of office or guardianship, and an application for certificate of title.
Such application shall be made before the estate is closed. The
transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(d) If the interest of an owner in joint tenancy passes to the
other joint tenant with survivorship rights as provided by law, the
transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State,
the last certificate of title, if available, proof of death of the one
joint tenant and survivorship of the surviving joint tenant, and an
application for certificate of title. Such application shall be made
within 120 days after the death of the joint tenant. The transfer may
be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(e) The Secretary of State shall transfer a decedent's vehicle
title to any legatee, representative or heir of the decedent who
submits to the Secretary a death certificate and an affidavit by an
attorney at law on the letterhead stationery of the attorney at law
stating the facts of the transfer.
(f) Repossession with assignment of title. In all cases wherein a
lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial process and
holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the owner of record
has executed an assignment of the existing certificate of title after
default, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the
vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon selling
the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the
certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and
within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting
the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle. The
application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall
comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The
lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing
the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor
on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes.
The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the
certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the
lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the
lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is
specifically authorized to complete and execute the space reserved in
the certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding
that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall be
construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the
repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation,
vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the
repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of title to
the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the purchaser of the owner
of the vehicle.
[April 4, 2001] 114
(f-5) Repossession without assignment of title. In all cases
wherein a lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial
process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the
owner of record has not executed an assignment of the existing
certificate of title, the lienholder shall comply with the following
provisions:
(1) Prior to sale, the lienholder shall deliver or mail to
the owner at the owner's last known address and to any other
lienholder of record, a notice of redemption setting forth the
following information: (i) the name of the owner of record and in
bold type at or near the top of the notice a statement that the
owner's vehicle was repossessed on a specified date for failure to
make payments on the loan (or other reason), (ii) a description of
the vehicle subject to the lien sufficient to identify it, (iii)
the right of the owner to redeem the vehicle, (iv) the lienholder's
intent to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle after the
expiration of 21 days from the date of mailing or delivery of the
notice, and (v) the name, address, and telephone number of the
lienholder from whom information may be obtained concerning the
amount due to redeem the vehicle and from whom the vehicle may be
redeemed under Section 9-506 of the Uniform Commercial Code. At
the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth
in this notice of redemption may be made a part of or accompany the
notification of sale or other disposition required under subsection
(3) of Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but none of
the information required by this notice shall be construed to
impose any requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code.
(2) With respect to the repossession of a vehicle used
primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, the
lienholder shall also deliver or mail to the owner at the owner's
last known address an affidavit of defense. The affidavit of
defense shall accompany the notice of redemption required in
subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. The affidavit of defense
shall (i) identify the lienholder, owner, and the vehicle; (ii)
provide space for the owner to state the defense claimed by the
owner; and (iii) include an acknowledgment by the owner that the
owner may be liable to the lienholder for fees, charges, and costs
incurred by the lienholder in establishing the insufficiency or
invalidity of the owner's defense. To stop the transfer of title,
the affidavit of defense must be received by the lienholder no
later than 21 days after the date of mailing or delivery of the
notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. If the
lienholder receives the affidavit from the owner in a timely
manner, the lienholder must apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction to determine if the lienholder is entitled to
possession of the vehicle.
(3) Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the
lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary
of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to
the purchaser as transferee (i) the existing certificate of title
for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting the release of the
lienholder's security interest in the vehicle; and (ii) an
affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder
which provides the following information: that the vehicle was
repossessed, a description of the vehicle sufficient to identify
it, whether the vehicle has been damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of
its fair market value as required under subdivision (b)(3) of
Section 3-117.1, that the owner and any other lienholder of record
were given the notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section, that the owner of record was given the affidavit of
defense required in subdivision (f-5)(2) of this Section, that the
interest of the owner was lawfully terminated or sold pursuant to
the terms of the security agreement, and the purchaser's name and
address. If the vehicle is damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair
market value, the lienholder shall make application for a salvage
115 [April 4, 2001]
certificate under Section 3-117.1 and transfer the vehicle to a
person eligible to receive assignments of salvage certificates
identified in Section 3-118.
(4) The application for a certificate of title made by the
purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be
accompanied by the affidavit of repossession furnished by the
lienholder and the existing certificate of title for the
repossessed vehicle. The lienholder shall execute the assignment
and warranty of title showing the name and address of the purchaser
in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate of title or as
the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder shall complete
the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect the
transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment
to reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For
this purpose, the lienholder is specifically authorized to execute
the assignment on behalf of the owner as seller if the owner has
not done so and to complete and execute the space reserved in the
certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding
that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall
be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the
repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer
occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds
from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate
of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the
purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder
does not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle,
the lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new
certificate of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing
information satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving
the new certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the
sale described in subdivision (f-5)(3), except that upon selling
the vehicle the lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail
or deliver to the purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting
the assignment and transfer of title to the purchaser.
(5) Neither the lienholder nor the owner shall file with the
Office of the Secretary of State the notice of redemption or
affidavit of defense described in subdivisions (f-5)(1) and
(f-5)(2) of this Section. The Office of the Secretary of State
shall not determine the merits of an owner's affidavit of defense,
nor consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity
or invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's
asserted defenses to the repossession action.
(f-7) Notice of reinstatement in certain cases.
(1) If, at the time of repossession by a lienholder that is
seeking to transfer title pursuant to subsection (f-5), the owner
has paid an amount equal to 30% or more of the deferred payment
price or total of payments due, the owner may, within 21 days of
the date of repossession, reinstate the contract or loan agreement
and recover the vehicle from the lienholder by tendering in a lump
sum (i) the total of all unpaid amounts, including any unpaid
delinquency or deferral charges due at the date of reinstatement,
without acceleration; and (ii) performance necessary to cure any
default other than nonpayment of the amounts due; and (iii) all
reasonable costs and fees incurred by the lienholder in retaking,
holding, and preparing the vehicle for disposition and in arranging
for the sale of the vehicle. Reasonable costs and fees incurred by
the lienholder include without limitation repossession and storage
expenses and, if authorized by the contract or loan agreement,
reasonable attorneys' fees and collection agency charges.
(2) Tender of payment and performance pursuant to this
limited right of reinstatement restores to the owner his rights
under the contract or loan agreement as though no default had
occurred. The owner has the right to reinstate the contract or
loan agreement and recover the vehicle from the lienholder only
once under this subsection. The lienholder may, in the
lienholder's sole discretion, extend the period during which the
[April 4, 2001] 116
owner may reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the
vehicle beyond the 21 days allowed under this subsection, and the
extension shall not subject the lienholder to liability to the
owner under the laws of this State.
(3) The lienholder shall deliver or mail written notice to
the owner at the owner's last known address, within 3 business days
of the date of repossession, of the owner's right to reinstate the
contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle pursuant to the
limited right of reinstatement described in this subsection. At
the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth
in this notice of reinstatement may be made part of or accompany
the notice of redemption required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section and the notification of sale or other disposition required
under subsection (3) of Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial
Code, but none of the information required by this notice of
reinstatement shall be construed to impose any requirement under
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
(4) The reinstatement period, if applicable, and the
redemption period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section, shall run concurrently if the information required to be
set forth in the notice of reinstatement is part of or accompanies
the notice of redemption. In any event, the 21 day redemption
period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section shall
commence on the date of mailing or delivery to the owner of the
information required to be set forth in the notice of redemption,
and the 21 day reinstatement period described in this subdivision,
if applicable, shall commence on the date of mailing or delivery to
the owner of the information required to be set forth in the notice
of reinstatement.
(5) The Office of the Secretary of State shall not determine
the merits of an owner's claim of right to reinstatement, nor
consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity or
invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's
asserted right to reinstatement. Where a lienholder is subject to
licensing and regulatory supervision by the State of Illinois, the
lienholder shall be subject to all of the powers and authority of
the lienholder's primary State regulator to enforce compliance with
the procedures set forth in this subsection (f-7).
(f-10) Repossession by judicial process. In all cases wherein a
lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by judicial process and holds it
for resale under a security agreement, order for replevin, or other
court order establishing the lienholder's right to possession of the
vehicle, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the
vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code or the court
order. Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need
not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall
promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as
transferee (i) the existing certificate of title for the repossessed
vehicle reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in
the vehicle; (ii) a certified copy of the court order; and (iii) a bill
of sale identifying the new owner's name and address and the year,
make, model, and vehicle identification number of the vehicle. The
application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall
comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the
certified copy of the court order furnished by the lienholder and the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The
lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing
the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor
on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes.
The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the
certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the
lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the
lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is
specifically authorized to execute the assignment on behalf of the
owner as seller if the owner has not done so and to complete and
execute the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer
117 [April 4, 2001]
reassignment, notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed
dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the lienholder
is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability
for retailer occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the
proceeds from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing
certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the
purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder does
not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, the
lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new certificate
of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing information
satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving the new
certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the sale
described in this subsection, except that upon selling the vehicle the
lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the
purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting the assignment and
transfer of title to the purchaser.
(f-15) The Secretary of State shall not issue a certificate of
title to a purchaser under subsection (f), (f-5), or (f-10) of this
Section, unless the person from whom the vehicle has been repossessed
by the lienholder is shown to be the last registered owner of the motor
vehicle. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the standards
to be followed by a lienholder in assigning and transferring
certificates of title with respect to repossessed vehicles.
(f-20) If applying for a salvage certificate or a junking
certificate, the lienholder shall within 20 days make an application to
the Secretary of State for a salvage certificate or a junking
certificate, as set forth in this Code. The Secretary of State shall
not issue a salvage certificate or a junking certificate to such
lienholder unless the person from whom such vehicle has been
repossessed is shown to be the last registered owner of such motor
vehicle and such lienholder establishes to the satisfaction of the
Secretary of State that he is entitled to such salvage certificate or
junking certificate. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the
standards to be followed by a lienholder in order to obtain a salvage
certificate or junking certificate for a repossessed vehicle.
(g) A person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the
vehicle has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary
transfer shall mail or deliver the certificate, within 20 days upon
request of the Secretary of State. The delivery of the certificate
pursuant to the request of the Secretary of State does not affect the
rights of the person surrendering the certificate, and the action of
the Secretary of State in issuing a new certificate of title as
provided herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or
lienholder named in the old certificate.
(h) The Secretary of State may decline to process any application
for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle hereunder if any fees or
taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the transferee have not
been paid upon reasonable notice and demand.
(i) The Secretary of State shall not be held civilly or criminally
liable to any person because any purported transferor may not have had
the power or authority to make a transfer of any interest in any
vehicle or because a certificate of title issued in error is
subsequently used to commit a fraudulent act.

(Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 91-893)
Sec. 3-114. Transfer by operation of law.
(a) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
other than by voluntary transfer, the transferee shall, except as
provided in paragraph (b), promptly mail or deliver within 20 days to
the Secretary of State the last certificate of title, if available,
proof of the transfer, and his application for a new certificate in the
form the Secretary of State prescribes. It shall be unlawful for any
person having possession of a certificate of title for a motor vehicle,
semi-trailer, or house car by reason of his having a lien or
encumbrance on such vehicle, to fail or refuse to deliver such
certificate to the owner, upon the satisfaction or discharge of the
[April 4, 2001] 118
lien or encumbrance, indicated upon such certificate of title.
(b) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
under the provisions of the Small Estates provisions of the Probate Act
of 1975 the transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary
of State, within 120 days, the last certificate of title, if available,
the documentation required under the provisions of the Probate Act of
1975, and an application for certificate of title. The Small Estate
Affidavit form shall be furnished by the Secretary of State. The
transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(c) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another
under other provisions of the Probate Act of 1975, as amended, and the
transfer is made by a representative or guardian, such transferee shall
promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State, the last
certificate of title, if available, and a certified copy of the letters
of office or guardianship, and an application for certificate of title.
Such application shall be made before the estate is closed. The
transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(d) If the interest of an owner in joint tenancy passes to the
other joint tenant with survivorship rights as provided by law, the
transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State,
the last certificate of title, if available, proof of death of the one
joint tenant and survivorship of the surviving joint tenant, and an
application for certificate of title. Such application shall be made
within 120 days after the death of the joint tenant. The transfer may
be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee.
(e) The Secretary of State shall transfer a decedent's vehicle
title to any legatee, representative or heir of the decedent who
submits to the Secretary a death certificate and an affidavit by an
attorney at law on the letterhead stationery of the attorney at law
stating the facts of the transfer.
(f) Repossession with assignment of title. In all cases wherein a
lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial process and
holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the owner of record
has executed an assignment of the existing certificate of title after
default, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the
vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon selling
the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the
certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and
within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting
the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle. The
application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall
comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The
lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing
the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor
on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes.
The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the
certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the
lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the
lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is
specifically authorized to complete and execute the space reserved in
the certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding
that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall be
construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the
repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation,
vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the
repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of title to
the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the purchaser of the owner
of the vehicle.
(f-5) Repossession without assignment of title. In all cases
wherein a lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial
process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the
owner of record has not executed an assignment of the existing
certificate of title, the lienholder shall comply with the following
provisions:
119 [April 4, 2001]
(1) Prior to sale, the lienholder shall deliver or mail to
the owner at the owner's last known address and to any other
lienholder of record, a notice of redemption setting forth the
following information: (i) the name of the owner of record and in
bold type at or near the top of the notice a statement that the
owner's vehicle was repossessed on a specified date for failure to
make payments on the loan (or other reason), (ii) a description of
the vehicle subject to the lien sufficient to identify it, (iii)
the right of the owner to redeem the vehicle, (iv) the lienholder's
intent to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle after the
expiration of 21 days from the date of mailing or delivery of the
notice, and (v) the name, address, and telephone number of the
lienholder from whom information may be obtained concerning the
amount due to redeem the vehicle and from whom the vehicle may be
redeemed under Section 9-623 of the Uniform Commercial Code. At
the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth
in this notice of redemption may be made a part of or accompany the
notification of sale or other disposition required under Section
9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but none of the information
required by this notice shall be construed to impose any
requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
(2) With respect to the repossession of a vehicle used
primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, the
lienholder shall also deliver or mail to the owner at the owner's
last known address an affidavit of defense. The affidavit of
defense shall accompany the notice of redemption required in
subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. The affidavit of defense
shall (i) identify the lienholder, owner, and the vehicle; (ii)
provide space for the owner to state the defense claimed by the
owner; and (iii) include an acknowledgment by the owner that the
owner may be liable to the lienholder for fees, charges, and costs
incurred by the lienholder in establishing the insufficiency or
invalidity of the owner's defense. To stop the transfer of title,
the affidavit of defense must be received by the lienholder no
later than 21 days after the date of mailing or delivery of the
notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. If the
lienholder receives the affidavit from the owner in a timely
manner, the lienholder must apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction to determine if the lienholder is entitled to
possession of the vehicle.
(3) Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the
lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary
of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to
the purchaser as transferee (i) the existing certificate of title
for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting the release of the
lienholder's security interest in the vehicle; and (ii) an
affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder
which provides the following information: that the vehicle was
repossessed, a description of the vehicle sufficient to identify
it, whether the vehicle has been damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of
its fair market value as required under subdivision (b)(3) of
Section 3-117.1, that the owner and any other lienholder of record
were given the notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section, that the owner of record was given the affidavit of
defense required in subdivision (f-5)(2) of this Section, that the
interest of the owner was lawfully terminated or sold pursuant to
the terms of the security agreement, and the purchaser's name and
address. If the vehicle is damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair
market value, the lienholder shall make application for a salvage
certificate under Section 3-117.1 and transfer the vehicle to a
person eligible to receive assignments of salvage certificates
identified in Section 3-118.
(4) The application for a certificate of title made by the
purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be
accompanied by the affidavit of repossession furnished by the
lienholder and the existing certificate of title for the
[April 4, 2001] 120
repossessed vehicle. The lienholder shall execute the assignment
and warranty of title showing the name and address of the purchaser
in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate of title or as
the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder shall complete
the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect the
transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment
to reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For
this purpose, the lienholder is specifically authorized to execute
the assignment on behalf of the owner as seller if the owner has
not done so and to complete and execute the space reserved in the
certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding
that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall
be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the
repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer
occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds
from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate
of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the
purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder
does not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle,
the lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new
certificate of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing
information satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving
the new certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the
sale described in subdivision (f-5)(3), except that upon selling
the vehicle the lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail
or deliver to the purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting
the assignment and transfer of title to the purchaser.
(5) Neither the lienholder nor the owner shall file with the
Office of the Secretary of State the notice of redemption or
affidavit of defense described in subdivisions (f-5)(1) and
(f-5)(2) of this Section. The Office of the Secretary of State
shall not determine the merits of an owner's affidavit of defense,
nor consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity
or invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's
asserted defenses to the repossession action.
(f-7) Notice of reinstatement in certain cases.
(1) If, at the time of repossession by a lienholder that is
seeking to transfer title pursuant to subsection (f-5), the owner
has paid an amount equal to 30% or more of the deferred payment
price or total of payments due, the owner may, within 21 days of
the date of repossession, reinstate the contract or loan agreement
and recover the vehicle from the lienholder by tendering in a lump
sum (i) the total of all unpaid amounts, including any unpaid
delinquency or deferral charges due at the date of reinstatement,
without acceleration; and (ii) performance necessary to cure any
default other than nonpayment of the amounts due; and (iii) all
reasonable costs and fees incurred by the lienholder in retaking,
holding, and preparing the vehicle for disposition and in arranging
for the sale of the vehicle. Reasonable costs and fees incurred by
the lienholder include without limitation repossession and storage
expenses and, if authorized by the contract or loan agreement,
reasonable attorneys' fees and collection agency charges.
(2) Tender of payment and performance pursuant to this
limited right of reinstatement restores to the owner his rights
under the contract or loan agreement as though no default had
occurred. The owner has the right to reinstate the contract or
loan agreement and recover the vehicle from the lienholder only
once under this subsection. The lienholder may, in the
lienholder's sole discretion, extend the period during which the
owner may reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the
vehicle beyond the 21 days allowed under this subsection, and the
extension shall not subject the lienholder to liability to the
owner under the laws of this State.
(3) The lienholder shall deliver or mail written notice to
the owner at the owner's last known address, within 3 business days
of the date of repossession, of the owner's right to reinstate the
121 [April 4, 2001]
contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle pursuant to the
limited right of reinstatement described in this subsection. At
the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth
in this notice of reinstatement may be made part of or accompany
the notice of redemption required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section and the notification of sale or other disposition required
under Section 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but none of the
information required by this notice of reinstatement shall be
construed to impose any requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code.
(4) The reinstatement period, if applicable, and the
redemption period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this
Section, shall run concurrently if the information required to be
set forth in the notice of reinstatement is part of or accompanies
the notice of redemption. In any event, the 21 day redemption
period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section shall
commence on the date of mailing or delivery to the owner of the
information required to be set forth in the notice of redemption,
and the 21 day reinstatement period described in this subdivision,
if applicable, shall commence on the date of mailing or delivery to
the owner of the information required to be set forth in the notice
of reinstatement.
(5) The Office of the Secretary of State shall not determine
the merits of an owner's claim of right to reinstatement, nor
consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity or
invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's
asserted right to reinstatement. Where a lienholder is subject to
licensing and regulatory supervision by the State of Illinois, the
lienholder shall be subject to all of the powers and authority of
the lienholder's primary State regulator to enforce compliance with
the procedures set forth in this subsection (f-7).
(f-10) Repossession by judicial process. In all cases wherein a
lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by judicial process and holds it
for resale under a security agreement, order for replevin, or other
court order establishing the lienholder's right to possession of the
vehicle, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the
vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code or the court
order. Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need
not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall
promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as
transferee (i) the existing certificate of title for the repossessed
vehicle reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in
the vehicle; (ii) a certified copy of the court order; and (iii) a bill
of sale identifying the new owner's name and address and the year,
make, model, and vehicle identification number of the vehicle. The
application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall
comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the
certified copy of the court order furnished by the lienholder and the
existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The
lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing
the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor
on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes.
The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the
certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the
lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the
lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is
specifically authorized to execute the assignment on behalf of the
owner as seller if the owner has not done so and to complete and
execute the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer
reassignment, notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed
dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the lienholder
is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability
for retailer occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the
proceeds from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing
certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the
purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder does
[April 4, 2001] 122
not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, the
lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new certificate
of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing information
satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving the new
certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the sale
described in this subsection, except that upon selling the vehicle the
lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the
purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting the assignment and
transfer of title to the purchaser.
(f-15) The Secretary of State shall not issue a certificate of
title to a purchaser under subsection (f), (f-5), or (f-10) of this
Section, unless the person from whom the vehicle has been repossessed
by the lienholder is shown to be the last registered owner of the motor
vehicle. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the standards
to be followed by a lienholder in assigning and transferring
certificates of title with respect to repossessed vehicles.
(f-20) If applying for a salvage certificate or a junking
certificate, the lienholder shall within 20 days make an application to
the Secretary of State for a salvage certificate or a junking
certificate, as set forth in this Code. The Secretary of State shall
not issue a salvage certificate or a junking certificate to such
lienholder unless the person from whom such vehicle has been
repossessed is shown to be the last registered owner of such motor
vehicle and such lienholder establishes to the satisfaction of the
Secretary of State that he is entitled to such salvage certificate or
junking certificate. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the
standards to be followed by a lienholder in order to obtain a salvage
certificate or junking certificate for a repossessed vehicle.
(f-25) If the interest of an owner in a mobile home, as defined in
the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act, passes to another under the
provisions of the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Enforcement Act, the
transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State (i)
the last certificate of title, if available, (ii) a certified copy of
the court order ordering the transfer of title, and (iii) an
application for certificate of title.
(g) A person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the
vehicle has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary
transfer shall mail or deliver the certificate, within 20 days upon
request of the Secretary of State. The delivery of the certificate
pursuant to the request of the Secretary of State does not affect the
rights of the person surrendering the certificate, and the action of
the Secretary of State in issuing a new certificate of title as
provided herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or
lienholder named in the old certificate.
(h) The Secretary of State may decline to process any application
for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle hereunder if any fees or
taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the transferee have not
been paid upon reasonable notice and demand.
(i) The Secretary of State shall not be held civilly or criminally
liable to any person because any purported transferor may not have had
the power or authority to make a transfer of any interest in any
vehicle or because a certificate of title issued in error is
subsequently used to commit a fraudulent act.

Sec. 6. Emergency excavation or demolition.
(a) Every person who engages in emergency excavation or demolition
outside of the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million
persons which operates its own one-call notice system shall take all
reasonable precautions to avoid or minimize interference between the
emergency work and existing underground utility facilities or CATS
facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area, through the
State-Wide One-Call Notice System, and shall notify, as far in advance
as possible, the owners or operators of such underground utility
facilities or CATS facilities in and near the emergency excavation or
demolition area, through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. At a
minimum, the notice required under this subsection (a) shall provide:
(1) the person's name, address, and (i) phone number at which
a person can be reached and (ii) fax number;
(2) the start date of the planned emergency excavation or
demolition;
(3) the address at which the excavation or demolition will
take place; and
(4) the type and extent of the work involved.
A 2-hour wait time exists after an emergency locate notification
request is made through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. If the
conditions at the site dictate an earlier start than the 2-hour wait
time, it is the responsibility of the excavator to demonstrate that
site conditions warranted this earlier start time.
(b) Every person who engages in emergency excavation or demolition
within the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million persons
which operates its own one-call notice system shall take all reasonable
precautions to avoid or minimize interference between the emergency
work and existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in
and near the excavation or demolition area, through the municipality's
one-call notice system, and shall notify, as far in advance as
possible, the owners and operators of underground utility facilities or
CATS facilities in and near the emergency excavation or demolition
area, through the municipality's one-call notice system.
(c) The reinstallation of traffic control devices shall be deemed
[April 4, 2001] 126
an emergency for purposes of this Section.

(220 ILCS 50/8) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1608)
Sec. 8. Liability or financial responsibility.
(a) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to affect or determine the
financial responsibility for any operation under this Act or liability
of any person for any damages that occur unless specifically stated
otherwise.
(b) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to provide for liability
or financial responsibility of the Department of Transportation, its
officers and employees concerning any underground utility facility or
CATS facility located on highway right-of-way by permit issued under
the provisions of Section 9-113 of the Illinois Highway Code. It is not
the intent of this Act to change any remedies in law regarding the duty
of providing lateral support.
(c) Neither the State-Wide One-Call Notice System nor any of its
officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for damages for injuries
or death to persons or damage to property caused by acts or omissions
in the receipt, recording, or transmission of locate requests or other
information in the performance of its duties as the State-Wide One-Call
Notice System, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and
wanton misconduct.
(d) A person owning, operating, or locating underground facilities
or CATS facilities may voluntarily locate any similar facility that is
privately owned and attached to the facility owner's or operator's
system in the area of the proposed excavation or demolition at the
request of the owner of the facility. If the locating is done at the
request of the owner of the facility without charge or fee and the
facility is mismarked and damaged, the person owning, operating, or
locating the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities shall
not be liable for any resulting injury, death, or property damage.
(e) Any residential property owner who fails to comply with any
provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or
CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on such
residential property shall not be subject to a penalty under this Act,
but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of
the damaged underground utility facilities or CATS facilities.

(220 ILCS 50/10) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1610)
Sec. 10. Record of notice; marking of facilities. Upon notice by
the person engaged in excavation or demolition, the person owning or
operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in or near
the excavation or demolition area shall cause a written record to be
made of the notice and shall mark, within 48 hours (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of receipt of notice, the approximate
locations of such facilities so as to enable the person excavating or
demolishing to establish the location of the underground utility
facilities or CATS facilities.
All persons subject to the requirements of this Act shall plan and
conduct their work consistent with reasonable business practices.
Conditions may exist making it unreasonable to request that locations
be marked within 48 hours. It is unreasonable to request owners and
operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities to
locate all of their facilities in an affected area upon short notice in
advance of a large or extensive nonemergency project, or to request
extensive locates in excess of a reasonable excavation or demolition
work schedule, or to request locates under conditions where a repeat
request is likely to be made because of the passage of time or adverse
127 [April 4, 2001]
job conditions. Owners and operators of underground utility facilities
and CATS facilities must reasonably anticipate seasonal fluctuations in
the number of locate requests and staff accordingly. Marking need not
be accomplished more than 48 hours in advance of the time excavation or
demolition of daily segments of the excavation or demolition are
scheduled to begin.
If a person owning or operating underground utility facilities or
CATS facilities receives a notice under this Section but does not own
or operate any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities within
the proposed excavation or demolition area described in the notice,
that person, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays) after receipt of the notice, shall so notify the person
engaged in excavation or demolition who initiated the notice, unless
the person who initiated the notice expressly waives the right to be
notified that no facilities are located within the excavation or
demolition area. The notification by the owner or operator of
underground utility facilities or CATS facilities to the person engaged
in excavation or demolition may be provided in any reasonable manner
including, but not limited to, notification in any one of the following
ways: by face-to-face communication; by phone or phone message; by
facsimile; by posting in the excavation or demolition area; or by
marking the excavation or demolition area. The owner or operator of
those facilities has discharged the owner's or operator's obligation to
provide notice under this Section if the owner or operator attempts to
provide notice by telephone or by facsimile, if the person has supplied
a facsimile number, but is unable to do so because the person engaged
in the excavation or demolition does not answer his or her telephone or
does not have an answering machine or answering service to receive the
telephone call or does not have a facsimile machine in operation to
receive the facsimile transmission. If the owner or operator attempts
to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile but receives a busy
signal, that attempt shall not serve to discharge the owner or operator
of the obligation to provide notice under this Section.
A person engaged in excavation or demolition may expressly waive
the right to notification from the owner or operator of underground
utility facilities or CATS facilities that the owner or operator has no
facilities located in the proposed excavation or demolition area.
Waiver of notice is only permissible in the case of regular or
nonemergency locate requests. The waiver must be made at the time of
the notice to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. A waiver made
under this Section is not admissible as evidence in any criminal or
civil action that may arise out of, or is in any way related to, the
excavation or demolition that is the subject of the waiver.
For the purposes of this Act, underground facility operators may
utilize a combination of flags, stakes, and paint when possible on
non-paved surfaces and when dig site and seasonal conditions warrant
the "approximate location" of underground utility facilities or CATS
facilities is defined as a strip of land at least 3 feet wide but not
wider than the width of the underground facility or CATS facility plus
1 1/2 feet on either side of such facility. If the approximate
location of an underground utility facility or CATS facility is marked
with stakes or other physical means, the following color coding shall
be employed:

(f) As provided in Section 3 of this Act, all owners or operators
of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities who fail to join
the State-Wide One-Call Notice System by January 1, 2003 shall be
subject to a penalty of $100 per day for each separate offense. Every
day an owner or operator falls to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice
System is a separate offense. This subsection (f) does not apply to
utilities operating facilities or CATS facilities exclusively within
the boundaries of a municipality with a population of at least
1,000,000 persons.
(g) No owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS
community antenna television systems facilities shall be subject to a
129 [April 4, 2001]
penalty fine where a delay in marking or a failure to mark or properly

by conditions beyond the reasonable control of such owner or operator.
(h) Any person who is not an agent, employee, or authorized
locating contractor of the owner or operator of the underground utility
facility or CATS facility who removes, alters, or otherwise damages
markings, flags, or stakes used to mark the location of an underground
utility or CATS facility other than during the course of the excavation
for which the markings were made or before completion of the project
shall be subject to a penalty up to $1,000 for each separate offense.
(i) The excavator shall exercise due care at all times to protect
underground utility facilities and CATS facilities. If, after proper
notification through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System and upon
arrival at the site of a proposed excavation, the excavator observes
clear evidence of the presence of an unmarked utility or CATS facility
in the area of the proposed excavation, the excavator shall not begin
excavating until 2 hours after an additional call is made to the
State-Wide One-Call Notice System for the area. The operator of the
utility or CATS facility shall respond within 2 hours of the
excavator's call to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System.
(j) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall have the power and
jurisdiction to, and shall, enforce the provisions of this Act. The
Illinois Commerce Commission may impose administrative penalties as
provided in this Section. The Illinois Commerce Commission may
promulgate rules and develop enforcement policies in order to implement
compliance with this Act. When a penalty is warranted, the following
criteria shall be used in determining the magnitude of the penalty:
(1) gravity of noncompliance;
(2) culpability of offender;
(3) history of noncompliance;
(4) ability to pay penalty;
(5) show of good faith of offender;
(6) ability to continue business; and
(7) other special circumstances.
In the event that a person has given proper notice, the owner or
operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility has
marked the approximate location and that person is unable to physically
locate the underground utility facility or CATS facility, where other
than an "open cut" method of locating must be used, within a reasonable
time due to conditions beyond his control and that person has notified
the State-Wide One-Call notice system of the owner or operator of the
underground utility facility or CATS facility of the need for
additional and more precise markings of approximate locations and the
owner or operator has not further and more precisely marked or located
the underground utility facility or CATS facility within 48 hours of
receiving such notice, then the person excavating or demolishing,
exercising reasonable care, shall not be liable for damages to the
facilities. Actions to recover the penalty provided for in this
Section shall be brought by the State's Attorney of the county where
the damage occurred, at the request of the owner or operator of the
underground utility facilities or CATS facilities damaged, or at the
request of any person when the owner or operator fails to comply with
this Act, or at the request of the Illinois Commerce Commission in the
name of the People of the State of Illinois, in the circuit court for
that county, or for the county in which the person complained of has
its principal place of business or resides.
(k) There is hereby created in the State treasury a special fund
to be known as the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage
Prevention Fund. All penalties recovered in any action under this
Section shall be paid into the Fund and shall be distributed annually
as a grant to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to be used in
safety and informational programs to reduce the number of incidents of
damage to underground utility facilities and CATS facilities in
Illinois. The distribution shall be made during January of each
calendar year based on the balance in the Illinois Underground Utility
Facilities Damage Prevention Fund as of December 31 of the previous

operations shall immediately notify the affected utility and the
State-Wide One-Call Notice System owner of such facilities.

Sec. 8. Liability or financial responsibility.
(a) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to affect or determine the
financial responsibility for any operation under this Act or liability
of any person for any damages that occur unless specifically stated
otherwise.
(b) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to provide for liability
or financial responsibility of the Department of Transportation, its
officers and employees concerning any underground utility facility or
CATS facility located on highway right-of-way by permit issued under
the provisions of Section 9-113 of the Illinois Highway Code. It is not
the intent of this Act to change any remedies in law regarding the duty
of providing lateral support.
(c) Neither the State-Wide One-Call Notice System nor any of its
officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for damages for injuries
or death to persons or damage to property caused by acts or omissions
in the receipt, recording, or transmission of locate requests or other
information in the performance of its duties as the State-Wide One-Call
Notice System, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and
wanton misconduct.

(d) Any residential property owner who fails to comply with any
provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or

(220 ILCS 50/10) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1610)
Sec. 10. Record of notice; marking of facilities. Upon notice by
the person engaged in excavation or demolition, the person owning or
operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in or near
the excavation or demolition area shall cause a written record to be
made of the notice and shall mark, within 48 hours (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of receipt of notice, the approximate
locations of such facilities so as to enable the person excavating or
demolishing to establish the location of the underground utility
facilities or CATS facilities.
All persons subject to the requirements of this Act shall plan and
conduct their work consistent with reasonable business practices.
Conditions may exist making it unreasonable to request that locations
be marked within 48 hours. It is unreasonable to request owners and
operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities to
locate all of their facilities in an affected area upon short notice in
advance of a large or extensive nonemergency project, or to request
extensive locates in excess of a reasonable excavation or demolition
work schedule, or to request locates under conditions where a repeat
request is likely to be made because of the passage of time or adverse
job conditions. Owners and operators of underground utility facilities
and CATS facilities must reasonably anticipate seasonal fluctuations in
the number of locate requests and staff accordingly. Marking need not
be accomplished more than 48 hours in advance of the time excavation or
demolition of daily segments of the excavation or demolition are
scheduled to begin.
If a person owning or operating underground utility facilities or
CATS facilities receives a notice under this Section but does not own
or operate any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities within
the proposed excavation or demolition area described in the notice,
that person, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays) after receipt of the notice, shall so notify the person
engaged in excavation or demolition who initiated the notice, unless
the person who initiated the notice expressly waives the right to be
notified that no facilities are located within the excavation or
demolition area. The notification by the owner or operator of
underground utility facilities or CATS facilities to the person engaged
in excavation or demolition may be provided in any reasonable manner
including, but not limited to, notification in any one of the following
ways: by face-to-face communication; by phone or phone message; by
facsimile; by posting in the excavation or demolition area; or by
marking the excavation or demolition area. The owner or operator of
those facilities has discharged the owner's or operator's obligation to
provide notice under this Section if the owner or operator attempts to
provide notice by telephone or by facsimile, if the person has supplied
a facsimile number, but is unable to do so because the person engaged
in the excavation or demolition does not answer his or her telephone or
does not have an answering machine or answering service to receive the
telephone call or does not have a facsimile machine in operation to
receive the facsimile transmission. If the owner or operator attempts
to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile but receives a busy
signal, that attempt shall not serve to discharge the owner or operator
of the obligation to provide notice under this Section.
A person engaged in excavation or demolition may expressly waive
the right to notification from the owner or operator of underground
utility facilities or CATS facilities that the owner or operator has no
facilities located in the proposed excavation or demolition area.
Waiver of notice is only permissible in the case of regular or
nonemergency locate requests. The waiver must be made at the time of
135 [April 4, 2001]
the notice to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. A waiver made
under this Section is not admissible as evidence in any criminal or
civil action that may arise out of, or is in any way related to, the
excavation or demolition that is the subject of the waiver.
For the purposes of this Act, underground facility operators may
utilize a combination of flags, stakes, and paint when possible on
non-paved surfaces and when dig site and seasonal conditions warrant
the "approximate location" of underground utility facilities or CATS
facilities is defined as a strip of land at least 3 feet wide but not
wider than the width of the underground facility or CATS facility plus
1 1/2 feet on either side of such facility. If the approximate
location of an underground utility facility or CATS facility is marked
with stakes or other physical means, the following color coding shall
be employed:

marked as provided in Section 10 of this Act.
(d) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition,
[April 4, 2001] 136
provides notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility
facilities or CATS facilities through the State-Wide One-Call Notice
System as an emergency locate request and the locate request is not an
emergency locate request as defined in Section 2.6 of this Act shall be
subject to a penalty of up to $2,500 for each separate offense.
(e) Owners and operators of underground utility facilities or CATS
community antenna television systems facilities who wilfully fail to
comply with this Act by a failure to mark or to properly mark the
location of an underground utility or CATS facility, after being
notified of planned excavation or demolition through the State-Wide
One-Call Notice System, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to
$5,000 no more than $200 for each separate offense each violation
resulting from the failure to mark or properly mark an underground
utility facility or CATS facility. No person shall be subject to such
fine if the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities
erred in marking or failed to mark such facilities as provided in
Section 10 of this Act and no willful damage has been committed.
(f) As provided in Section 3 of this Act, all owners or operators
of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities who fail to join
the State-Wide One-Call Notice System by January 1, 2003 shall be
subject to a penalty of $100 per day for each separate offense. Every
day an owner or operator falls to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice
System is a separate offense. This subsection (f) does not apply to
utilities operating facilities or CATS facilities exclusively within
the boundaries of a municipality with a population of at least
1,000,000 persons.
(g) No owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS
community antenna television systems facilities shall be subject to a
penalty fine where a delay in marking or a failure to mark or properly
mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility is caused
by conditions beyond the reasonable control of such owner or operator.
(h) Any person who is neither an agent, employee, or authorized
locating contractor of the owner or operator of the underground utility
facility or CATS facility nor an excavator involved in the excavation
activity who removes, alters, or otherwise damages markings, flags, or
stakes used to mark the location of an underground utility or CATS
facility other than during the course of the excavation for which the
markings were made or before completion of the project shall be subject
to a penalty up to $1,000 for each separate offense.
(i) The excavator shall exercise due care at all times to protect
underground utility facilities and CATS facilities. If, after proper
notification through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System and upon
arrival at the site of a proposed excavation, the excavator observes
clear evidence of the presence of an unmarked utility or CATS facility
in the area of the proposed excavation, the excavator shall not begin
excavating until 2 hours after an additional call is made to the
State-Wide One-Call Notice System for the area. The operator of the
utility or CATS facility shall respond within 2 hours of the
excavator's call to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System.
(j) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall have the power and
jurisdiction to, and shall, enforce the provisions of this Act. The
Illinois Commerce Commission may impose administrative penalties as
provided in this Section. The Illinois Commerce Commission may
promulgate rules and develop enforcement policies in the manner
provided by the Public Utilities Act in order to implement compliance
with this Act. When a penalty is warranted, the following criteria
shall be used in determining the magnitude of the penalty:
(1) gravity of noncompliance;
(2) culpability of offender;
(3) history of noncompliance;
(4) ability to pay penalty;
(5) show of good faith of offender;
(6) ability to continue business; and
(7) other special circumstances.
In the event that a person has given proper notice, the owner or
operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility has
137 [April 4, 2001]
marked the approximate location and that person is unable to physically
locate the underground utility facility or CATS facility, where other
than an "open cut" method of locating must be used, within a reasonable
time due to conditions beyond his control and that person has notified
the State-Wide One-Call notice system of the owner or operator of the
underground utility facility or CATS facility of the need for
additional and more precise markings of approximate locations and the
owner or operator has not further and more precisely marked or located
the underground utility facility or CATS facility within 48 hours of
receiving such notice, then the person excavating or demolishing,
exercising reasonable care, shall not be liable for damages to the
facilities. Actions to recover the penalty provided for in this
Section shall be brought by the State's Attorney of the county where
the damage occurred, at the request of the owner or operator of the
underground utility facilities or CATS facilities damaged, or at the
request of any person when the owner or operator fails to comply with
this Act, or at the request of the Illinois Commerce Commission in the
name of the People of the State of Illinois, in the circuit court for
that county, or for the county in which the person complained of has
its principal place of business or resides.
(k) There is hereby created in the State treasury a special fund
to be known as the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage
Prevention Fund. All penalties recovered in any action under this
Section shall be paid into the Fund and shall be distributed annually
as a grant to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to be used in
safety and informational programs to reduce the number of incidents of
damage to underground utility facilities and CATS facilities in
Illinois. The distribution shall be made during January of each
calendar year based on the balance in the Illinois Underground Utility
Facilities Damage Prevention Fund as of December 31 of the previous
calendar year. In all such actions under this Section, the procedure
and rules of evidence shall conform with the Code of Civil Procedure,
and with rules of courts governing civil trials.
(l) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall establish an Advisory
Committee consisting of a representative from each of the following:
utility operator, JULIE, excavator, municipality, and the general
public. The Advisory Committee shall serve as a peer review panel for
any contested penalties resulting from the enforcement of this Act.
The members of the Advisory Committee shall be immune, individually
and jointly, from civil liability for any act or omission done or made
in performance of their duties while serving as members of such
Advisory Committee, unless the act or omission was the result of
willful and wanton misconduct.
(m) If, after the Advisory Committee has considered a particular
contested penalty and performed its review functions under this Act and
the Commission's rules, there remains a dispute as to whether the
Commission should impose a penalty under this Act, the matter shall
proceed in the manner set forth in Article X of the Public Utilities
Act, including the provisions governing judicial review.
Any residential property owner that fails to comply with any
provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or
CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on land
owned by the residential property owner shall not be subject to a fine
but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of
the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities.

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO HOUSE BILL 2148
AMENDMENT NO. 5. Amend House Bill 2148, AS AMENDED, by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Illinois Plumbing License Law is amended by
changing Sections 1, 2, 3, 8, 20, and 29.5 and by adding Section 13.1
141 [April 4, 2001]
as follows:
(225 ILCS 320/1) (from Ch. 111, par. 1101)
Sec. 1. Purpose. It has been established by scientific evidence
that improper plumbing can result in the introduction of pathogenic
organisms into the potable water supply, result in the escape of toxic
gases into the environment, and result in potentially lethal disease
and epidemic. It is further found that minimum numbers of plumbing
facilities and fixtures are necessary for the comfort and convenience
of workers and persons in public places.
Consistent with its duty to safeguard the health of the people of
this State, the General Assembly therefore declares that the regulation
of plumbing and the plumbing trade is necessary for the protection of
the public health, convenience, and welfare. The General Assembly
therefore declares that individuals who plan, inspect, install, alter,
extend, repair and maintain plumbing systems shall be individuals of
proven skill. Further, the General Assembly declares that a guide for
the minimum control and number of plumbing materials and fixtures, the
design of plumbing systems, and the construction and installation
methods of plumbing systems is essential for the protection of public
health and convenience. In order to insure plumbing skill and to
authoritatively establish what shall be good plumbing practice, this
Act provides for the licensing of plumbers and registration of plumbing
contractors and for the promulgation of a Minimum Plumbing Code of
standards by the Department., This Act is therefore declared to be
essential to the public interest.

(225 ILCS 320/3) (from Ch. 111, par. 1103)
Sec. 3. (1) All planning and designing of plumbing systems and all
plumbing shall be performed only by plumbers licensed under the
provisions of this Act hereinafter called "licensed plumbers" and
"licensed apprentice plumbers". The inspection of plumbing and
plumbing systems shall be done only by the sponsor or his or her agent
who shall be an Illinois licensed plumber. Nothing herein contained
shall prohibit licensed plumbers or licensed apprentice plumbers under
supervision from planning, designing, inspecting, installing,
repairing, maintaining, altering or extending building sewers in
accordance with this Act. No person who holds a license or certificate
of registration under the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989,
or the Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989, or the Professional
Engineering Practice Act of 1989 shall be prevented from planning and
designing plumbing systems.
(2) Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the owner occupant or
lessee occupant of a single family residence, or the owner of a single
family residence under construction for his or her occupancy, from
planning, installing, altering or repairing the plumbing system of such
residence, provided that (i) such plumbing shall comply with the
minimum standards for plumbing contained in the Illinois State Plumbing
Code, and shall be subject to inspection by the Department or the local
governmental unit if it retains a licensed plumber as an inspector; and
(ii) such owner, owner occupant or lessee occupant shall not employ
other than a plumber licensed pursuant to this Act to assist him or
her.
For purposes of this subsection, a person shall be considered an
"occupant" if and only if he or she has taken possession of and is
living in the premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive
[April 4, 2001] 144
residence, or, in the case of an owner of a single family residence
under construction for his or her occupancy, he or she expects to take
possession of and live in the premises as his or her bona fide sole and
exclusive residence, and he or she has a current intention to live in
such premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive residence for
a period of not less than 6 months after the completion of the plumbing
work performed pursuant to the authorization of this subsection, or, in
the case of an owner of a single family residence under construction
for his or her occupancy, for a period of not less than 6 months after
the completion of construction of the residence. Failure to possess and
live in the premises as a sole and exclusive residence for a period of
6 months or more shall create a rebuttable presumption of a lack of
such intention.
(3) The employees of a firm, association, partnership or
corporation who engage in plumbing shall be licensed plumbers or
licensed apprentice plumbers. At least one member of every firm,
association or partnership engaged in plumbing work, and at least one
corporate officer of every corporation engaged in plumbing work, as the
case may be, shall be a licensed plumber. A retired plumber cannot
fulfill the requirements of this subsection (3). Plumbing contractors
are also required to be registered pursuant to the provisions of this
Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (3), it shall be
lawful for an irrigation contractor registered under Section 2.5 of
this Act to employ or contract with one or more licensed plumbers in
connection with work on lawn sprinkler systems pursuant to Section 2.5
of this Act.
(4) (a) A licensed apprentice plumber shall plan, design and
install plumbing only under the supervision of the sponsor or his
or her agent who is also an Illinois licensed plumber.
(b) An applicant for licensing as an apprentice plumber shall
be at least 16 years of age and apply on the application form
provided by the Department. Such application shall verify that the
applicant is sponsored by an Illinois licensed plumber or an
approved apprenticeship program and shall contain the name and
license number of the licensed plumber or program sponsor.
(c) No licensed plumber shall sponsor more than 2 licensed
apprentice plumbers at the same time. If 2 licensed apprentice
plumbers are sponsored by a plumber at the same time, one of the
apprentices must have, at a minimum, 2 years experience as a
licensed apprentice. No licensed plumber sponsor or his or her
agent may supervise 2 licensed apprentices with less than 2 years
experience at the same time. The sponsor or agent shall supervise
and be responsible for the plumbing performed by a licensed
apprentice.
(d) No agent shall supervise more than 2 licensed apprentices
at the same time.
(e) No licensed plumber may, in any capacity, supervise more
than 2 licensed apprentice plumbers at the same time.
(f) No approved apprenticeship program may sponsor more
licensed apprentices than 2 times the number of licensed plumbers
available to supervise those licensed apprentices.
(g) No approved apprenticeship program may sponsor more
licensed apprentices with less than 2 years experience than it has
licensed plumbers available to supervise those licensed
apprentices.
(h) No individual shall work as an apprentice plumber unless
he or she is properly licensed under this Act. The Department
shall issue an apprentice plumber's license to each approved
applicant.
(i) No licensed apprentice plumber shall serve more than a 6
year licensed apprenticeship period. If, upon completion of a 6
year licensed apprenticeship period, such licensed apprentice
plumber does not apply for the examination for a plumber's license
and successfully pass the examination for a plumber's license, his
or her apprentice plumber's license shall not be renewed.

repair or maintain water meters to be licensed plumbers under this Act
if such work was customarily performed prior to the effective date of
such Act by employees of such governmental unit or privately owned

which was customarily performed prior to the effective date of such Act
by persons who were licensed plumbers or subcontracted to persons who
were licensed plumbers must continue to be performed by persons who are
licensed plumbers or subcontracted to persons who are licensed
plumbers. When necessary under this Act, the Department shall make the
determination whether or not persons who are licensed plumbers
customarily performed such work.

The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted and ordered
printed.
There being no further amendments, the foregoing Amendments
numbered 1 and 5 were ordered engrossed; and the bill, as amended, was

HOUSE BILL 2298. Having been recalled on April 3, 2001, and held

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 2298
AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 2298 as follows:
[April 4, 2001] 148
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by changing
Sections 10-2, 10-8.1, 10-10, and 10-11 as follows:
(305 ILCS 5/10-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-2)
Sec. 10-2. Extent of Liability. A husband is liable for the
support of his wife and a wife for the support of her husband. The
parents are severally liable for the support of any child under age 18,
and for any child aged 18 who is attending high school, until that
child graduates from high school, or attains the age of 19, whichever
is earlier 21, except that a parent is not liable for a child age 18 or
over if such child is not living with the parent or parents, and a
parent is not liable for a child of any age if the child has married
and is not living with the parent or parents. A child shall be
considered to be living with the parent or parents if such child is
absent from the parent's or parents' home only in order to regularly
attend a school, college or university or to receive technical training
designed for preparation for gainful employment. The term "child"
includes a child born out of wedlock, or legally adopted child.
In addition to the primary obligation of support imposed upon
responsible relatives, such relatives, if individually or together in
any combination they have sufficient income or other resources to
support a needy person, in whole or in part, shall be liable for any
financial aid extended under this Code to a person for whose support
they are responsible, including amounts expended for funeral and burial
costs.

(305 ILCS 5/10-8.1)
Sec. 10-8.1. Temporary order for child support. Notwithstanding
any other law to the contrary, pending the outcome of an administrative
determination of parentage, the Illinois Department shall issue a
temporary order for child support, upon motion by a party and a showing
of clear and convincing evidence of paternity. In determining the
amount of the temporary child support award, the Illinois Department
shall use the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of
Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
Any new or existing support order entered by the Illinois
Department under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of
judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each
such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of
support and each judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the
corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the
support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect,
and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the
ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to modification
or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of
law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent
for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial
parent.
All orders for support entered or modified in a case in which a
party is receiving child and spouse support services under this Article
X shall include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to
notify the Illinois Department, within 7 days, (i) of the name,
address, and telephone number of any new employer of the non-custodial
parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has access to health
insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage, and,
if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered
under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address
or telephone number of the non-custodial parent.
In any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon
sufficient showing that diligent effort has been made to ascertain the
location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision
of notice necessary in that action may be made at the last known
address of the non-custodial parent, in any manner expressly provided
by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which service shall be
149 [April 4, 2001]
sufficient for purposes of due process.
An order for support shall include a date on which the current
support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no
earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will
attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from
high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination
date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the
child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the
child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated.
The order for support shall state that the termination date does not
apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Illinois Department
from modifying the order.

(305 ILCS 5/10-10) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-10)
Sec. 10-10. Court enforcement; applicability also to persons who
are not applicants or recipients. Except where the Illinois
Department, by agreement, acts for the local governmental unit, as
provided in Section 10-3.1, local governmental units shall refer to the
State's Attorney or to the proper legal representative of the
governmental unit, for judicial enforcement as herein provided,
instances of non-support or insufficient support when the dependents
are applicants or recipients under Article VI. The Child and Spouse
Support Unit established by Section 10-3.1 may institute in behalf of
the Illinois Department any actions under this Section for judicial
enforcement of the support liability when the dependents are (a)
applicants or recipients under Articles III, IV, V or VII; (b)
applicants or recipients in a local governmental unit when the Illinois
Department, by agreement, acts for the unit; or (c) non-applicants or
non-recipients who are receiving support enforcement services under
this Article X, as provided in Section 10-1. Where the Child and
Spouse Support Unit has exercised its option and discretion not to
apply the provisions of Sections 10-3 through 10-8, the failure by the
Unit to apply such provisions shall not be a bar to bringing an action
under this Section.
Action shall be brought in the circuit court to obtain support, or
for the recovery of aid granted during the period such support was not
provided, or both for the obtainment of support and the recovery of the
aid provided. Actions for the recovery of aid may be taken separately
or they may be consolidated with actions to obtain support. Such
actions may be brought in the name of the person or persons requiring
support, or may be brought in the name of the Illinois Department or
the local governmental unit, as the case requires, in behalf of such
persons.
The court may enter such orders for the payment of moneys for the
support of the person as may be just and equitable and may direct
payment thereof for such period or periods of time as the circumstances
require, including support for a period before the date the order for
support is entered. The order may be entered against any or all of the
defendant responsible relatives and may be based upon the proportionate
ability of each to contribute to the person's support.
The Court shall determine the amount of child support (including
child support for a period before the date the order for child support
is entered) by using the guidelines and standards set forth in
subsection (a) of Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. For purposes of determining
the amount of child support to be paid for a period before the date the
order for child support is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption
that the responsible relative's net income for that period was the same
as his or her net income at the time the order is entered.
If (i) the responsible relative was properly served with a request
for discovery of financial information relating to the responsible
relative's ability to provide child support, (ii) the responsible
relative failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered
to do so by the court, and (iii) the responsible relative is not
present at the hearing to determine support despite having received
[April 4, 2001] 150
proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the
responsible relative's ability to provide child support that was
obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into
evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its
admission.
An order entered under this Section shall include a provision
requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of
court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and
each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The
report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment,
include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new
employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with
nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect
criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new
employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that
should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An
order entered under this Section shall also include a provision
requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a
change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court
finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that
of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure
of the party's address.
The Court shall determine the amount of maintenance using the
standards set forth in Section 504 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
Any new or existing support order entered by the court under this
Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person
obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in the
amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment
to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or
installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each
such judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any
other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced.
Any such judgment is subject to modification or termination only in
accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and
personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of
overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent.
When an order is entered for the support of a minor, the court may
provide therein for reasonable visitation of the minor by the person or
persons who provided support pursuant to the order. Whoever willfully
refuses to comply with such visitation order or willfully interferes
with its enforcement may be declared in contempt of court and punished
therefor.
Except where the local governmental unit has entered into an
agreement with the Illinois Department for the Child and Spouse Support
Unit to act for it, as provided in Section 10-3.1, support orders
entered by the court in cases involving applicants or recipients under
Article VI shall provide that payments thereunder be made directly to
the local governmental unit. Orders for the support of all other
applicants or recipients shall provide that payments thereunder be made
directly to the Illinois Department. In accordance with federal law and
regulations, the Illinois Department may continue to collect current
maintenance payments or child support payments, or both, after those
persons cease to receive public assistance and until termination of
services under Article X. The Illinois Department shall pay the net
amount collected to those persons after deducting any costs incurred in
making the collection or any collection fee from the amount of any
recovery made. In both cases the order shall permit the local
governmental unit or the Illinois Department, as the case may be, to
direct the responsible relative or relatives to make support payments
directly to the needy person, or to some person or agency in his
behalf, upon removal of the person from the public aid rolls or upon
termination of services under Article X.
If the notice of support due issued pursuant to Section 10-7
directs that support payments be made directly to the needy person, or
151 [April 4, 2001]
to some person or agency in his behalf, and the recipient is removed
from the public aid rolls, court action may be taken against the
responsible relative hereunder if he fails to furnish support in
accordance with the terms of such notice.
Actions may also be brought under this Section in behalf of any
person who is in need of support from responsible relatives, as defined
in Section 2-11 of Article II who is not an applicant for or recipient
of financial aid under this Code. In such instances, the State's
Attorney of the county in which such person resides shall bring action
against the responsible relatives hereunder. If the Illinois
Department, as authorized by Section 10-1, extends the support services
provided by this Article to spouses and dependent children who are not
applicants or recipients under this Code, the Child and Spouse Support
Unit established by Section 10-3.1 shall bring action against the
responsible relatives hereunder and any support orders entered by the
court in such cases shall provide that payments thereunder be made
directly to the Illinois Department.
Whenever it is determined in a proceeding to establish or enforce a
child support or maintenance obligation that the person owing a duty of
support is unemployed, the court may order the person to seek
employment and report periodically to the court with a diary, listing
or other memorandum of his or her efforts in accordance with such
order. Additionally, the court may order the unemployed person to
report to the Department of Employment Security for job search services
or to make application with the local Job Jobs Training Partnership Act
provider for participation in job search, training or work programs and
where the duty of support is owed to a child receiving support services
under this Article X, the court may order the unemployed person to
report to the Illinois Department for participation in job search,
training or work programs established under Section 9-6 and Article IXA
of this Code.
Whenever it is determined that a person owes past-due support for a
child receiving assistance under this Code, the court shall order at
the request of the Illinois Department:
(1) that the person pay the past-due support in accordance
with a plan approved by the court; or
(2) if the person owing past-due support is unemployed, is
subject to such a plan, and is not incapacitated, that the person
participate in such job search, training, or work programs
established under Section 9-6 and Article IXA of this Code as the
court deems appropriate.
A determination under this Section shall not be administratively
reviewable by the procedures specified in Sections 10-12, and 10-13 to
10-13.10. Any determination under these Sections, if made the basis of
court action under this Section, shall not affect the de novo judicial
determination required under this Section.
A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due
child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a support
order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10-21 of this Code and shall be enforced
by the court upon petition.
All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall include a
provision requiring the non-custodial parent to notify the court and,
in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse support
services under this Article X, the Illinois Department, within 7 days,
(i) of the name, address, and telephone number of any new employer of
the non-custodial parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has
access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group
coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of
persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or
mailing address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In
any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient
showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location
of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of notice
necessary in the case may be made at the last known address of the
non-custodial parent in any manner expressly provided by the Code of
[April 4, 2001] 152
Civil Procedure or this Code, which service shall be sufficient for
purposes of due process.
An order for support shall include a date on which the current
support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no
earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will
attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from
high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination
date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the
child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the
child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated.
The order for support shall state that the termination date does not
apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying
the order.
Upon notification in writing or by electronic transmission from the
Illinois Department to the clerk of the court that a person who is
receiving support payments under this Section is receiving services
under the Child Support Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D
of the Social Security Act, any support payments subsequently received
by the clerk of the court shall be transmitted in accordance with the
instructions of the Illinois Department until the Illinois Department
gives notice to the clerk of the court to cease the transmittal. After
providing the notification authorized under this paragraph, the
Illinois Department shall be entitled as a party to notice of any
further proceedings in the case. The clerk of the court shall file a
copy of the Illinois Department's notification in the court file. The
clerk's failure to file a copy of the notification in the court file
shall not, however, affect the Illinois Department's right to receive
notice of further proceedings.
Payments under this Section to the Illinois Department pursuant to
the Child Support Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the
Social Security Act shall be paid into the Child Support Enforcement
Trust Fund. All payments under this Section to the Illinois Department
of Human Services shall be deposited in the DHS Recoveries Trust Fund.
Disbursements from these funds shall be as provided in Sections 12-9.1
and 12-10.2 of this Code. Payments received by a local governmental
unit shall be deposited in that unit's General Assistance Fund.
To the extent the provisions of this Section are inconsistent with
the requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit under
Sections 10-10.4 and 10-26 of this Code, the requirements pertaining to
the State Disbursement Unit shall apply.

Sec. 10-11. Administrative Orders. In lieu of actions for court
enforcement of support under Section 10-10, the Child and Spouse
Support Unit of the Illinois Department, in accordance with the rules
of the Illinois Department, may issue an administrative order requiring
the responsible relative to comply with the terms of the determination
and notice of support due, determined and issued under Sections 10-6
and 10-7. The Unit may also enter an administrative order under
subsection (b) of Section 10-7. The administrative order shall be
served upon the responsible relative by United States registered or
certified mail. In cases in which the responsible relative appeared at
the office of the Child and Spouse Support Unit in response to the
notice of support obligation issued under Section 10-4, however, or in
cases of default in which the notice was served on the responsible
relative by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any method
provided by law for service of summons, the administrative
determination of paternity or administrative support order may be sent
to the responsible relative by ordinary mail addressed to the
responsible relative's last known address.
If a responsible relative or a person receiving child and spouse
support services under this Article fails to petition the Illinois
153 [April 4, 2001]
Department for release from or modification of the administrative
order, as provided in Section 10-12 or Section 10-12.1, the order shall
become final and there shall be no further administrative or judicial
remedy. Likewise a decision by the Illinois Department as a result of
an administrative hearing, as provided in Sections 10-13 to 10-13.10,
shall become final and enforceable if not judicially reviewed under the
Administrative Review Law, as provided in Section 10-14.
Any new or existing support order entered by the Illinois
Department under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of
judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each
such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of
support and each such judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the
corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the
support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect
and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the
ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to modification
or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of
law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent
for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial
parent.
An order entered under this Section shall include a provision
requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of
court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and
each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The
report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment,
include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new
employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with
nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect
criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new
employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that
should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An
order entered under this Section shall also include a provision
requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a
change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court
finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that
of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure
of the party's address.
A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due
child support owed on July 1, 1988, which has accrued under a support
order entered by the Illinois Department under this Section. The
charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section
10-21 and shall be enforced by the court in a suit filed under Section
10-15.
An order for support shall include a date on which the support
obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than
the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of
18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until
after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no
earlier than the earlier of the date that the child's graduation will
occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19.

Section 10. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act
is amended by changing Sections 505, 505.2, 510, and 513 as follows:
(750 ILCS 5/505) (from Ch. 40, par. 505)
Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties.
(a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal separation,
declaration of invalidity of marriage, a proceeding for child support
following dissolution of the marriage by a court which lacked personal
jurisdiction over the absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a
previous order for child support under Section 510 of this Act, or any
proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the court
may order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child of
the marriage to pay an amount reasonable and necessary for his support,
without regard to marital misconduct. The duty of support owed to a
[April 4, 2001] 154
minor child includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable and
necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of the child.
For purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall include any child
under age 18 and any child under age 19 who is still attending high
school.
(1) The Court shall determine the minimum amount of support
by using the following guidelines:
Number of Children Percent of Supporting Party's
Net Income
1 20%
2 25%
3 32%
4 40%
5 45%
6 or more 50%
(2) The above guidelines shall be applied in each case unless
the court makes a finding that application of the guidelines would
be inappropriate, after considering the best interests of the child
in light of evidence including but not limited to one or more of
the following relevant factors:
(a) the financial resources and needs of the child;
(b) the financial resources and needs of the custodial
parent;
(c) the standard of living the child would have enjoyed
had the marriage not been dissolved;
(d) the physical and emotional condition of the child,
and his educational needs; and
(e) the financial resources and needs of the
non-custodial parent.
If the court deviates from the guidelines, the court's finding
shall state the amount of support that would have been required
under the guidelines, if determinable. The court shall include the
reason or reasons for the variance from the guidelines.
(3) "Net income" is defined as the total of all income from
all sources, minus the following deductions:
(a) Federal income tax (properly calculated withholding
or estimated payments);
(b) State income tax (properly calculated withholding or
estimated payments);
(c) Social Security (FICA payments);
(d) Mandatory retirement contributions required by law
or as a condition of employment;
(e) Union dues;
(f) Dependent and individual health/hospitalization
insurance premiums;
(g) Prior obligations of support or maintenance actually
paid pursuant to a court order;
(h) Expenditures for repayment of debts that represent
reasonable and necessary expenses for the production of
income, medical expenditures necessary to preserve life or
health, reasonable expenditures for the benefit of the child
and the other parent, exclusive of gifts. The court shall
reduce net income in determining the minimum amount of support
to be ordered only for the period that such payments are due
and shall enter an order containing provisions for its
self-executing modification upon termination of such payment
period.
(4) In cases where the court order provides for
health/hospitalization insurance coverage pursuant to Section 505.2
of this Act, the premiums for that insurance, or that portion of
the premiums for which the supporting party is responsible in the
case of insurance provided through an employer's health insurance
plan where the employer pays a portion of the premiums, shall be
subtracted from net income in determining the minimum amount of
support to be ordered.
(4.5) In a proceeding for child support following dissolution
155 [April 4, 2001]
of the marriage by a court that lacked personal jurisdiction over
the absent spouse, and in which the court is requiring payment of
support for the period before the date an order for current support
is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the supporting
party's net income for the prior period was the same as his or her
net income at the time the order for current support is entered.
(5) If the net income cannot be determined because of default
or any other reason, the court shall order support in an amount
considered reasonable in the particular case. The final order in
all cases shall state the support level in dollar amounts. However,
if the court finds that the child support amount cannot be
expressed exclusively as a dollar amount because all or a portion
of the payor's net income is uncertain as to source, time of
payment, or amount, the court may order a percentage amount of
support in addition to a specific dollar amount and enter such
other orders as may be necessary to determine and enforce, on a
timely basis, the applicable support ordered.
(6) If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with
a request for discovery of financial information relating to the
non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the
non-custodial parent failed to comply with the request, despite
having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the
non-custodial parent is not present at the hearing to determine
support despite having received proper notice, then any relevant
financial information concerning the non-custodial parent's ability
to provide child support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and
proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the need to
establish any further foundation for its admission.
(a-5) In an action to enforce an order for support based on the
respondent's failure to make support payments as required by the order,
notice of proceedings to hold the respondent in contempt for that
failure may be served on the respondent by personal service or by
regular mail addressed to the respondent's last known address. The
respondent's last known address may be determined from records of the
clerk of the court, from the Federal Case Registry of Child Support
Orders, or by any other reasonable means.
(b) Failure of either parent to comply with an order to pay
support shall be punishable as in other cases of contempt. In addition
to other penalties provided by law the Court may, after finding the
parent guilty of contempt, order that the parent be:
(1) placed on probation with such conditions of probation as
the Court deems advisable;
(2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period not to
exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the Court may permit the
parent to be released for periods of time during the day or night
to:
(A) work; or
(B) conduct a business or other self-employed
occupation.
The Court may further order any part or all of the earnings of a
parent during a sentence of periodic imprisonment paid to the Clerk of
the Circuit Court or to the parent having custody or to the guardian
having custody of the minor children of the sentenced parent for the
support of said minor children until further order of the Court.
If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient to render
no financial separation between a non-custodial parent and another
person or persons or business entity, the court may pierce the
ownership veil of the person, persons, or business entity to discover
assets of the non-custodial parent held in the name of that person,
those persons, or that business entity. The following circumstances
are sufficient to authorize a court to order discovery of the assets of
a person, persons, or business entity and to compel the application of
any discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for support:
(1) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons, or
business entity maintain records together.
(2) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons, or
[April 4, 2001] 156
business entity fail to maintain an arms length relationship
between themselves with regard to any assets.
(3) the non-custodial parent transfers assets to the person,
persons, or business entity with the intent to perpetrate a fraud
on the custodial parent.
With respect to assets which are real property, no order entered
under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona fide purchasers,
mortgagees, judgment creditors, or other lien holders who acquire
their interests in the property prior to the time a notice of lis
pendens pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure or a copy of the order
is placed of record in the office of the recorder of deeds for the
county in which the real property is located.
The court may also order in cases where the parent is 90 days or
more delinquent in payment of support or has been adjudicated in
arrears in an amount equal to 90 days obligation or more, that the
parent's Illinois driving privileges be suspended until the court
determines that the parent is in compliance with the order of support.
The court may also order that the parent be issued a family financial
responsibility driving permit that would allow limited driving
privileges for employment and medical purposes in accordance with
Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The clerk of the circuit
court shall certify the order suspending the driving privileges of the
parent or granting the issuance of a family financial responsibility
driving permit to the Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the
Secretary. Upon receipt of the authenticated documents, the Secretary
of State shall suspend the parent's driving privileges until further
order of the court and shall, if ordered by the court, subject to the
provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, issue a
family financial responsibility driving permit to the parent.
In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be imposed
under this Section, any person whose conduct constitutes a violation of
Section 15 of the Non-Support Punishment Act may be prosecuted under
that Act, and a person convicted under that Act may be sentenced in
accordance with that Act. The sentence may include but need not be
limited to a requirement that the person perform community service
under Section 50 of that Act or participate in a work alternative
program under Section 50 of that Act. A person may not be required to
participate in a work alternative program under Section 50 of that Act
if the person is currently participating in a work program pursuant to
Section 505.1 of this Act.
A support obligation, or any portion of a support obligation, which
becomes due and remains unpaid for 30 days or more shall accrue
interest at the rate of 9% per annum.
(c) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of
past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a
support order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 of the Illinois Public
Aid Code and shall be enforced by the court upon petition.
(d) Any new or existing support order entered by the court under
this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the
person obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in
the amount of each payment or installment of support and each such
judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment
or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each
such judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any
other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. A
lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property
of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed
by the noncustodial parent.
(e) When child support is to be paid through the clerk of the
court in a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or less, the order shall
direct the obligor to pay to the clerk, in addition to the child
support payments, all fees imposed by the county board under paragraph
(3) of subsection (u) of Section 27.1 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
Unless paid in cash or pursuant to an order for withholding, the
payment of the fee shall be by a separate instrument from the support
157 [April 4, 2001]
payment and shall be made to the order of the Clerk.
(f) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall
include a provision requiring the obligor to notify the court and, in
cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse services under
Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Department of
Public Aid, within 7 days, (i) of the name and address of any new
employer of the obligor, (ii) whether the obligor has access to health
insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if
so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under
the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address or
telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action
to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent
effort has been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial
parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in the case
may be made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent in
any manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this
Act, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
(g) An order for support shall include a date on which the current
support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be the date
on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18.
However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after
attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier
than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school
graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the
age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support
shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage
that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall
be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order.
(h) An order entered under this Section shall include a provision
requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of
court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and
each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The
report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment,
include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report
new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled
with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is
indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to
report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child
support that should have been paid during the period of unreported
employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a
provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each
other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when
the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a
party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered
by disclosure of the party's address.

Sec. 505.2. Health insurance.
(a) Definitions. As used in this Section:
(1) "Obligee" means the individual to whom the duty of
support is owed or the individual's legal representative.
(2) "Obligor" means the individual who owes a duty of support
pursuant to an order for support.
(3) "Public office" means any elected official or any State
or local agency which is or may become responsible by law for
enforcement of, or which is or may become authorized to enforce, an
order for support, including, but not limited to: the Attorney
General, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, the Illinois
Department of Human Services, the Illinois Department of Children
and Family Services, and the various State's Attorneys, Clerks of
the Circuit Court and supervisors of general assistance.
(4) "Child" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section
505.
[April 4, 2001] 158
(b) Order.
(1) Whenever the court establishes, modifies or enforces an
order for child support or for child support and maintenance the
court shall include in the order a provision for the health care
coverage of the child which shall, upon request of the obligee or
Public Office, require that any child covered by the order be named
as a beneficiary of any health insurance plan that is available to
the obligor through an employer or labor union or trade union. If
the court finds that such a plan is not available to the obligor,
or that the plan is not accessible to the obligee, the court may,
upon request of the obligee or Public Office, order the obligor to
name the child covered by the order as a beneficiary of any health
insurance plan that is available to the obligor on a group basis,
or as a beneficiary of an independent health insurance plan to be
obtained by the obligor, after considering the following factors:
(A) the medical needs of the child;
(B) the availability of a plan to meet those needs; and
(C) the cost of such a plan to the obligor.
(2) If the employer or labor union or trade union offers more
than one plan, the order shall require the obligor to name the
child as a beneficiary of the plan in which the obligor is
enrolled.
(3) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the
authority of the court to establish or modify a support order to
provide for payment of expenses, including deductibles, copayments
and any other health expenses, which are in addition to expenses
covered by an insurance plan of which a child is ordered to be
named a beneficiary pursuant to this Section.
(c) Implementation and enforcement.
(1) When the court order requires that a minor child be named
as a beneficiary of a health insurance plan, other than a health
insurance plan available through an employer or labor union or
trade union, the obligor shall provide written proof to the obligee
or Public Office that the required insurance has been obtained, or
that application for insurability has been made, within 30 days of
receiving notice of the court order. Unless the obligor was
present in court when the order was issued, notice of the order
shall be given pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rules. If an
obligor fails to provide the required proof, he may be held in
contempt of court.
(2) When the court requires that a minor child be named as a
beneficiary of a health insurance plan available through an
employer or labor union or trade union, the court's order shall be
implemented in accordance with the Income Withholding for Support
Act Section 706.1, as now or hereafter amended.
(d) Failure to maintain insurance. The dollar amount of the
premiums for court-ordered health insurance, or that portion of the
premiums for which the obligor is responsible in the case of insurance
provided under a group health insurance plan through an employer or
labor union or trade union where the employer or labor union or trade
union pays a portion of the premiums, shall be considered an additional
child support obligation owed by the obligor. Whenever the obligor
fails to provide or maintain health insurance pursuant to an order for
support, the obligor shall be liable to the obligee for the dollar
amount of the premiums which were not paid, and shall also be liable
for all medical expenses incurred by the minor child which would have
been paid or reimbursed by the health insurance which the obligor was
ordered to provide or maintain. In addition, the obligee may petition
the court to modify the order based solely on the obligor's failure to
pay the premiums for court-ordered health insurance.
(e) Authorization for payment. The signature of the obligee is a
valid authorization to the insurer to process a claim for payment under
the insurance plan to the provider of the health care services or to
the obligee.
(f) Disclosure of information. The obligor's employer or labor
union or trade union shall disclose to the obligee or Public Office,
159 [April 4, 2001]
upon request, information concerning any dependent coverage plans which
would be made available to a new employee or labor union member or
trade union member. The employer or labor union or trade union shall
disclose such information whether or not a court order for medical
support has been entered.
(g) Employer obligations. If a parent is required by an order for
support to provide coverage for a child's health care expenses and if
that coverage is available to the parent through an employer who does
business in this State, the employer must do all of the following upon
receipt of a copy of the order of support or order for withholding:
(1) The employer shall, upon the parent's request, permit the
parent to include in that coverage a child who is otherwise
eligible for that coverage, without regard to any enrollment season
restrictions that might otherwise be applicable as to the time
period within which the child may be added to that coverage.
(2) If the parent has health care coverage through the
employer but fails to apply for coverage of the child, the employer
shall include the child in the parent's coverage upon application
by the child's other parent or the Illinois Department of Public
Aid.
(3) The employer may not eliminate any child from the
parent's health care coverage unless the employee is no longer
employed by the employer and no longer covered under the employer's
group health plan or unless the employer is provided with
satisfactory written evidence of either of the following:
(A) The order for support is no longer in effect.
(B) The child is or will be included in a comparable
health care plan obtained by the parent under such order that
is currently in effect or will take effect no later than the
date the prior coverage is terminated.
The employer may eliminate a child from a parent's health care
plan obtained by the parent under such order if the employer has
eliminated dependent health care coverage for all of its employees.

(750 ILCS 5/510) (from Ch. 40, par. 510)
Sec. 510. Modification and termination of provisions for
maintenance, support, educational expenses, and property disposition.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (f) of Section 502
and in subsection (d), clause (3) of Section 505.2, the provisions of
any judgment respecting maintenance or support may be modified only as
to installments accruing subsequent to due notice by the moving party
of the filing of the motion for modification and, with respect to
maintenance, only upon a showing of a substantial change in
circumstances. An order for child support may be modified as follows:
(1) upon a showing of a substantial change in circumstances;
and
(2) without the necessity of showing a substantial change in
circumstances, as follows:
(A) upon a showing of an inconsistency of at least 20%,
but no less than $10 per month, between the amount of the
existing order and the amount of child support that results
from application of the guidelines specified in Section 505 of
this Act unless the inconsistency is due to the fact that the
amount of the existing order resulted from a deviation from
the guideline amount and there has not been a change in the
circumstances that resulted in that deviation; or
(B) Upon a showing of a need to provide for the health
care needs of the child under the order through health
insurance or other means. In no event shall the eligibility
for or receipt of medical assistance be considered to meet the
need to provide for the child's health care needs.
The provisions of subparagraph (a)(2)(A) shall apply only in cases
in which a party is receiving child and spouse support services from
the Illinois Department of Public Aid under Article X of the Illinois
Public Aid Code, and only when at least 36 months have elapsed since
[April 4, 2001] 160
the order for child support was entered or last modified.
(b) The provisions as to property disposition may not be revoked
or modified, unless the court finds the existence of conditions that
justify the reopening of a judgment under the laws of this State.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in a written agreement
set forth in the judgment or otherwise approved by the court, the
obligation to pay future maintenance is terminated upon the death of
either party, or the remarriage of the party receiving maintenance, or
if the party receiving maintenance cohabits with another person on a
resident, continuing conjugal basis.
(d) Unless otherwise provided in this Act, or as agreed in writing
or expressly provided in the judgment, provisions for the support of a
child are terminated by emancipation of the child, or if the child has
attained the age of 18 and is still attending high school, provisions
for the support of the child are terminated upon the date that the
child graduates from high school or the date the child attains the age
of 19, whichever is earlier, but not by the death of a parent obligated
to support or educate the child. Unless otherwise agreed in writing or
expressly provided in a judgment, provisions for the support of a child
are terminated by emancipation of the child, except as otherwise
provided herein, but not by the death of a parent obligated to support
or educate the child. An existing obligation to pay for support or
educational expenses, or both, is not terminated by the death of a
parent. When a parent obligated to pay support or educational
expenses, or both, dies, the amount of support or educational expenses,
or both, may be enforced, modified, revoked or commuted to a lump sum
payment, as equity may require, and that determination may be provided
for at the time of the dissolution of the marriage or thereafter.
(e) The right to petition for support or educational expenses, or
both, under Sections 505 and 513 is not extinguished by the death of a
parent. Upon a petition filed before or after a parent's death, the
court may award sums of money out of the decedent's estate for the
child's support or educational expenses, or both, as equity may
require. The time within which a claim may be filed against the estate
of a decedent under Sections 505 and 513 and subsection (d) and this
subsection shall be governed by the provisions of the Probate Act of
1975, as a barrable, noncontingent claim.

(750 ILCS 5/513) (from Ch. 40, par. 513)
Sec. 513. Support for Non-minor Children and Educational Expenses.
(a) The court may award sums of money out of the property and
income of either or both parties or the estate of a deceased parent, as
equity may require, for the support of the child or children of the
parties who have attained majority in the following instances:
(1) When the child is mentally or physically disabled and not
otherwise emancipated, an application for support may be made
before or after the child has attained majority.
(2) The court may also make provision for the educational
expenses of the child or children of the parties, whether of minor
or majority age, and an application for educational expenses may be
made before or after the child has attained majority, or after the
death of either parent. The authority under this Section to make
provision for educational expenses extends not only to periods of
college education or professional or other training after
graduation from high school, but also to any period during which
the child of the parties is still attending high school, even
though he or she attained the age of 19 18. The educational
expenses may include, but shall not be limited to, room, board,
dues, tuition, transportation, books, fees, registration and
application costs, medical expenses including medical insurance,
dental expenses, and living expenses during the school year and
periods of recess, which sums may be ordered payable to the child,
to either parent, or to the educational institution, directly or
through a special account or trust created for that purpose, as the
court sees fit.
If educational expenses are ordered payable, each parent and
161 [April 4, 2001]
the child shall sign any consents necessary for the educational
institution to provide the supporting parent with access to the
child's academic transcripts, records, and grade reports. The
consents shall not apply to any non-academic records. Failure to
execute the required consent may be a basis for a modification or
termination of any order entered under this Section.
The authority under this Section to make provision for
educational expenses, except where the child is mentally or
physically disabled and not otherwise emancipated, terminates when
the child receives a baccalaureate degree.
(b) In making awards under paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a),
or pursuant to a petition or motion to decrease, modify, or terminate
any such award, the court shall consider all relevant factors that
appear reasonable and necessary, including:
(1) The financial resources of both parents.
(2) The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had
the marriage not been dissolved.
(3) The financial resources of the child.
(4) The child's academic performance.
(Source: P.A. 91-204, eff. 1-1-00.)
Section 15. The Non-Support Punishment Act is amended by changing
Sections 15 and 20 as follows:
(750 ILCS 16/15)
Sec. 15. Failure to support.
(a) A person commits the offense of failure to support when he or
she:
(1) willfully, without any lawful excuse, refuses to provide
for the support or maintenance of his or her spouse, with the
knowledge that the spouse is in need of such support or
maintenance, or, without lawful excuse, deserts or willfully
refuses to provide for the support or maintenance of his or her
child or children under the age of 18 years, in need of support or
maintenance and the person has the ability to provide the support;
or
(2) willfully fails to pay a support obligation required
under a court or administrative order for support, if the
obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than 6 months,
or is in arrears in an amount greater than $5,000, and the person
has the ability to provide the support; or
(3) leaves the State with the intent to evade a support
obligation required under a court or administrative order for
support, if the obligation, regardless of when it accrued, has
remained unpaid for a period longer than 6 months, or is in arrears
in an amount greater than $10,000; or
(4) willfully fails to pay a support obligation required under
a court or administrative order for support, if the obligation has
remained unpaid for a period longer than one year, or is in arrears
in an amount greater than $20,000, and the person has the ability
to provide the support.
(a-5) Presumption of ability to pay support. The existence of a
court or administrative order of support that was not based on a
default judgment and was in effect for the time period charged in the
indictment or information creates a rebuttable presumption that the
obligor has the ability to pay the support obligation for that time
period.
(b) Sentence. A person convicted of a first offense under
subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A
person convicted of an offense under subdivision (a)(3) or (a)(4) or a
second or subsequent offense under subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) is
guilty of a Class 4 felony.
(c) Expungement. A person convicted of a first offense under
subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) who is eligible for the Earnfare program,
shall, in lieu of the sentence prescribed in subsection (b), be
referred to the Earnfare program. Upon certification of completion of
the Earnfare program, the conviction shall be expunged. If the person
fails to successfully complete the Earnfare program, he or she shall be
[April 4, 2001] 162
sentenced in accordance with subsection (b).
(d) Fine. Sentences of imprisonment and fines for offenses
committed under this Act shall be as provided under Articles 8 and 9 of
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, except that the court
shall order restitution of all unpaid support payments and may impose
the following fines, alone, or in addition to a sentence of
imprisonment under the following circumstances:
(1) from $1,000 to $5,000 if the support obligation has
remained unpaid for a period longer than 2 years, or is in arrears
in an amount greater than $1,000 and not exceeding $10,000;
(2) from $5,000 to $10,000 if the support obligation has
remained unpaid for a period longer than 5 years, or is in arrears
in an amount greater than $10,000 and not exceeding $20,000; or
(3) from $10,000 to $25,000 if the support obligation has
remained unpaid for a period longer than 8 years, or is in arrears
in an amount greater than $20,000.
(e) Restitution shall be ordered in an amount equal to the total
unpaid support obligation as it existed at the time of sentencing. Any
amounts paid by the obligor shall be allocated first to current support
and then to restitution ordered and then to fines imposed under this
Section.
(f) For purposes of this Act, the term "child" shall have the
meaning ascribed to it in Section 505 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
(Source: P.A. 91-613, eff. 10-1-99.)
(750 ILCS 16/20)
Sec. 20. Entry of order for support; income withholding.
(a) In a case in which no court or administrative order for support
is in effect against the defendant:
(1) at any time before the trial, upon motion of the State's
Attorney, or of the Attorney General if the action has been
instituted by his office, and upon notice to the defendant, or at
the time of arraignment or as a condition of postponement of
arraignment, the court may enter such temporary order for support
as may seem just, providing for the support or maintenance of the
spouse or child or children of the defendant, or both, pendente
lite; or
(2) before trial with the consent of the defendant, or at the
trial on entry of a plea of guilty, or after conviction, instead of
imposing the penalty provided in this Act, or in addition thereto,
the court may enter an order for support, subject to modification
by the court from time to time as circumstances may require,
directing the defendant to pay a certain sum for maintenance of the
spouse, or for support of the child or children, or both.
(b) The court shall determine the amount of child support by using
the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505
and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act.
If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with a request
for discovery of financial information relating to the non-custodial
parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the non-custodial
parent failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered
to do so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not
present at the hearing to determine support despite having received
proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the
non-custodial parent's ability to provide support that was obtained
pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence
without the need to establish any further foundation for its admission.
(c) The court shall determine the amount of maintenance using the
standards set forth in Section 504 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
(d) The court may, for violation of any order under this Section,
punish the offender as for a contempt of court, but no pendente lite
order shall remain in effect longer than 4 months, or after the
discharge of any panel of jurors summoned for service thereafter in
such court, whichever is sooner.
163 [April 4, 2001]
(e) Any order for support entered by the court under this Section
shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person
obligated to pay support under the judgments, each such judgment to be
in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each
judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment
or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each
judgment shall have the full force, effect, and attributes of any other
judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. Each
judgment is subject to modification or termination only in accordance
with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal
property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue
support owed by the noncustodial parent.
(f) An order for support entered under this Section shall include a
provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the
clerk of the court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new
employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for
any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of
new employment, include the name and address of the new employer.
Failure to report new employment or the termination of current
employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in
excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor
arrested for failure to report new employment, bond shall be set in the
amount of the child support that should have been paid during the
period of unreported employment.
An order for support entered under this Section shall also include
a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each
other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when
the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a
party or of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by
disclosure of the party's address.
(g) An order for support entered or modified in a case in which a
party is receiving child and spouse support services under Article X of
the Illinois Public Aid Code shall include a provision requiring the
noncustodial parent to notify the Illinois Department of Public Aid,
within 7 days, of the name and address of any new employer of the
noncustodial parent, whether the noncustodial parent has access to
health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage
and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered
under the policy.
(h) In any subsequent action to enforce an order for support
entered under this Act, upon sufficient showing that diligent effort
has been made to ascertain the location of the noncustodial parent,
service of process or provision of notice necessary in that action may
be made at the last known address of the noncustodial parent, in any
manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or in this
Act, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
(i) An order for support shall include a date on which the current
support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no
earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will
attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from
high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination
date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the
child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the
child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated.
The order for support shall state that the termination date does not
apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in
this subsection shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying
the order.
(Source: P.A. 91-613, eff. 10-1-99; 91-767, eff. 6-9-00.)
Section 20. The Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 is amended by
changing Section 14 as follows:
(750 ILCS 45/14) (from Ch. 40, par. 2514)
Sec. 14. Judgment.
(a) (1) The judgment shall contain or explicitly reserve
provisions concerning any duty and amount of child support and may
[April 4, 2001] 164
contain provisions concerning the custody and guardianship of the
child, visitation privileges with the child, the furnishing of bond or
other security for the payment of the judgment, which the court shall
determine in accordance with the relevant factors set forth in the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act and any other
applicable law of Illinois, to guide the court in a finding in the best
interests of the child. In determining custody, joint custody, or
visitation, the court shall apply the relevant standards of the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Specifically, in
determining the amount of any child support award, the court shall use
the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505
and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act. For purposes of Section 505 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, "net income" of the non-custodial parent
shall include any benefits available to that person under the Illinois
Public Aid Code or from other federal, State or local government-funded
programs. The court shall, in any event and regardless of the amount
of the non-custodial parent's net income, in its judgment order the
non-custodial parent to pay child support to the custodial parent in a
minimum amount of not less than $10 per month. In an action brought
within 2 years after a child's birth, the judgment or order may direct
either parent to pay the reasonable expenses incurred by either parent
related to the mother's pregnancy and the delivery of the child. The
judgment or order shall contain the father's social security number,
which the father shall disclose to the court; however, failure to
include the father's social security number on the judgment or order
does not invalidate the judgment or order.
(2) If a judgment of parentage contains no explicit award of
custody, the establishment of a support obligation or of visitation
rights in one parent shall be considered a judgment granting custody to
the other parent. If the parentage judgment contains no such
provisions, custody shall be presumed to be with the mother; however,
the presumption shall not apply if the father has had physical custody
for at least 6 months prior to the date that the mother seeks to
enforce custodial rights.
(b) The court shall order all child support payments, determined
in accordance with such guidelines, to commence with the date summons
is served. The level of current periodic support payments shall not be
reduced because of payments set for the period prior to the date of
entry of the support order. The Court may order any child support
payments to be made for a period prior to the commencement of the
action. In determining whether and the extent to which the payments
shall be made for any prior period, the court shall consider all
relevant facts, including the factors for determining the amount of
support specified in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
Act and other equitable factors including but not limited to:
(1) The father's prior knowledge of the fact and
circumstances of the child's birth.
(2) The father's prior willingness or refusal to help raise
or support the child.
(3) The extent to which the mother or the public agency
bringing the action previously informed the father of the child's
needs or attempted to seek or require his help in raising or
supporting the child.
(4) The reasons the mother or the public agency did not file
the action earlier.
(5) The extent to which the father would be prejudiced by the
delay in bringing the action.
For purposes of determining the amount of child support to be paid
for any period before the date the order for current child support is
entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the father's net income
for the prior period was the same as his net income at the time the
order for current child support is entered.
If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with a request
for discovery of financial information relating to the non-custodial
parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the non-custodial
165 [April 4, 2001]
parent failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered
to do so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not
present at the hearing to determine support despite having received
proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the
non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support that was
obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into
evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its
admission.
(c) Any new or existing support order entered by the court under
this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the
person obligated to pay support thereunder, each judgment to be in the
amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment
to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or
installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each
judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any other
judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. A lien
arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of
the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by
the noncustodial parent.
(d) If the judgment or order of the court is at variance with the
child's birth certificate, the court shall order that a new birth
certificate be issued under the Vital Records Act.
(e) On request of the mother and the father, the court shall order
a change in the child's name. After hearing evidence the court may stay
payment of support during the period of the father's minority or period
of disability.
(f) If, upon a showing of proper service, the father fails to
appear in court, or otherwise appear as provided by law, the court may
proceed to hear the cause upon testimony of the mother or other parties
taken in open court and shall enter a judgment by default. The court
may reserve any order as to the amount of child support until the
father has received notice, by regular mail, of a hearing on the
matter.
(g) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of
past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a
support order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 of the Illinois Public
Aid Code and shall be enforced by the court upon petition.
(h) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall
include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to notify the
court and, in cases in which party is receiving child and spouse
support services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the
Illinois Department of Public Aid, within 7 days, (i) of the name and
address of any new employer of the non-custodial parent, (ii) whether
the non-custodial parent has access to health insurance coverage
through the employer or other group coverage and, if so, the policy
name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy, and
(iii) of any new residential or mailing address or telephone number of
the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a
support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent effort has
been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial parent,
service of process or provision of notice necessary in the case may be
made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent in any
manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act,
which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process.
(i) An order for support shall include a date on which the current
support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no
earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will
attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from
high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination
date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the
child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the
child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated.
The order for support shall state that the termination date does not
apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in
this subsection shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying
[April 4, 2001] 166
the order.
(j) An order entered under this Section shall include a provision
requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of
court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and
each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The
report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment,
include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report
new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled
with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is
indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to
report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child
support that should have been paid during the period of unreported
employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a
provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each
other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when
the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a
party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered
by disclosure of the party's address.

must provide information to the Department, or its designee, that is
necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act, including, but not
limited to, the name, social security number, address, date of birth,
and coverage of their policyholders, their subscribers, or the

(320 ILCS 25/5) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 405)
Sec. 5. Procedure.
(a) In general. Claims must be filed after January 1, on forms
prescribed by the Department. No claim may be filed more than one year
after December 31 of the year for which the claim is filed except that
claims for 1976 may be filed until December 31, 1978. The
pharmaceutical assistance identification card provided for in
subsection (f) of Section 4 shall be valid for a period not to exceed
one year. On and after January 1, 2002, however, to enable the
Department to convert coverage for a pharmaceutical assistance program
participant to a fiscal year basis, a card shall be valid for a longer
or shorter period than 12 months, depending on the date a timely claim
is filed and as determined by the Department.
(b) Claim is Personal. The right to file a claim under this Act
shall be personal to the claimant and shall not survive his death, but
such right may be exercised on behalf of a claimant by his legal
guardian or attorney-in-fact. If a claimant dies after having filed a
timely claim, the amount thereof shall be disbursed to his surviving
spouse or, if no spouse survives, to his surviving dependent minor
children in equal parts, provided the spouse or child, as the case may
be, resided with the claimant at the time he filed his claim. If at
the time of disbursement neither the claimant nor his spouse is
surviving, and no dependent minor children of the claimant are
surviving the amount of the claim shall escheat to the State.
(c) One claim per household. Only one member of a household may
file a claim under this Act in any calendar year; where both members of
[April 4, 2001] 168
a household are otherwise entitled to claim a grant under this Act,
they must agree as to which of them will file a claim for that year.
(d) Content of application form. The form prescribed by the
Department for purposes of paragraph (a) shall include a table,
appropriately keyed to the parts of the form on which the claimant is
required to furnish information, which will enable the claimant to
determine readily the approximate amount of grant to which he is
entitled by relating levels of household income to property taxes
accrued or rent constituting property taxes accrued.
(e) Pharmaceutical Assistance Procedures. The Department shall
establish the form and manner for application, and establish by January
1, 1986 a procedure to enable persons to apply for the additional grant
or for the pharmaceutical assistance identification card on the same
application form. The Department shall determine eligibility for
pharmaceutical assistance using the applicant's current income. The
Department shall determine a person's current income in the manner
provided by the Department by rule.

conduct shall include, but is not limited to, conducting name
recognition polls in the geographic area covered by the elected public
office, creating or allowing the creation of a campaign committee in
the public employee's name, engaging in strategy meetings with
non-family members, or obtaining or filing the requisite candidate
filing forms with the local or State election authority. Affirmative
conduct shall not include a public employee's private discussions about
his or her candidacy with family members or contact made by the public
employee with his or her public employer pursuant to this Act.
"Public employer" means the State, an agency or department thereof,
a unit of local government, a school district, or an instrumentality or
political subdivision thereof.
"Public employee" means an employee of the State, an agency or
department thereof, a unit of local government, a school district, or

terminate the employment of, force the resignation of, invalidate the
transfer of, demote, reprimand, or in any other way penalize a public
employee as a consequence of the public employee's candidacy for
elected public office. This Section shall not apply if a public
employee fails to comply with Section 15 and remains subject to the
federal Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. Sections 1501 through 1508).
Section 15. Notice to the public employer. At least 90 days
before a public employee shall seek candidacy for elected public
office, the public employee shall provide his or her public employer
with written notice of his or her intent to run for elected public
office.
Within 7 days of receiving the public employee's written notice,
the public employer shall contact the United States Office of Special
Counsel in writing for an advisory opinion on whether the requesting
public employee occupies an employment position covered under the
federal Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. Sections 1501 through 1508). If the United
States Office of Special Counsel's advisory opinion reveals that the
public employee is subject to the federal Hatch Act, then the public
employer shall offer in writing to transfer the public employee to or
make available to the public employee an equivalent employment position
that is not subject to the federal Hatch Act within 5 days after
receiving the advisory opinion. The public employee shall be entitled
to a copy of the decision and shall have 15 days to decide upon and
accept the equivalent employment position made available by his or her
public employer.
All public employers shall make a public posting in the workplace
that informs public employees of the provisions of this Act. All
public employers shall inform new employees of this Act upon hiring as
well as provide all public employees with informational literature
concerning this Act at least annually. The public employer may utilize
informational literature prepared by the United States Office of
Special Counsel.
Section 20. Working hours. Nothing in this Act prohibits a public
employer from penalizing a public employee for any activity conducted
during regular working hours in connection with a candidacy for elected
public office.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming
law.".

"Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section 18-8.05
as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/18-8.05)
Sec. 18-8.05. Basis for apportionment of general State financial
aid and supplemental general State aid to the common schools for the
1998-1999 and subsequent school years.
(A) General Provisions.
(1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999 school
year and subsequent school years. The system of general State
financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to assure that,
through a combination of State financial aid and required local
resources, the financial support provided each pupil in Average Daily
Attendance equals or exceeds a prescribed per pupil Foundation Level.
This formula approach imputes a level of per pupil Available Local
Resources and provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount of per
pupil general State financial aid for school districts, in general,
varies in inverse relation to Available Local Resources. Per pupil
amounts are based upon each school district's Average Daily Attendance
as that term is defined in this Section.
(2) In addition to general State financial aid, school districts
with specified levels or concentrations of pupils from low income
households are eligible to receive supplemental general State financial
aid grants as provided pursuant to subsection (H). The supplemental
State aid grants provided for school districts under subsection (H)
shall be appropriated for distribution to school districts as part of
the same line item in which the general State financial aid of school
districts is appropriated under this Section.
(3) To receive financial assistance under this Section, school
districts are required to file claims with the State Board of
Education, subject to the following requirements:
(a) Any school district which fails for any given school year
to maintain school as required by law, or to maintain a recognized
school is not eligible to file for such school year any claim upon
the Common School Fund. In case of nonrecognition of one or more
attendance centers in a school district otherwise operating
recognized schools, the claim of the district shall be reduced in
the proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the attendance
center or centers bear to the Average Daily Attendance in the
school district. A "recognized school" means any public school
which meets the standards as established for recognition by the
State Board of Education. A school district or attendance center
not having recognition status at the end of a school term is
entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal claim which
was filed while it was recognized.
(b) School district claims filed under this Section are
subject to Sections 18-9, 18-10, and 18-12, except as otherwise
provided in this Section.
(c) If a school district operates a full year school under
[April 4, 2001] 176
Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school district shall
be determined by the State Board of Education in accordance with
this Section as near as may be applicable.
(d) (Blank).
(4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the board of
any district receiving any of the grants provided for in this Section
may apply those funds to any fund so received for which that board is
authorized to make expenditures by law.
School districts are not required to exert a minimum Operating Tax
Rate in order to qualify for assistance under this Section.
(5) As used in this Section the following terms, when capitalized,
shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
(a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil attendance
in school, averaged as provided for in subsection (C) and utilized
in deriving per pupil financial support levels.
(b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of local
financial support, calculated on the basis of Average Daily
Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to subsection (D).
(c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes": Funds
paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in relation to
the abolition of ad valorem personal property tax and the
replacement of revenues lost thereby, and amending and repealing
certain Acts and parts of Acts in connection therewith", certified
August 14, 1979, as amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
(d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil
financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
(e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property taxes
extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest, Summer School,
Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational Education Building
purposes.
(B) Foundation Level.
(1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the State
representing the minimum level of per pupil financial support that
should be available to provide for the basic education of each pupil in
Average Daily Attendance. As set forth in this Section, each school
district is assumed to exert a sufficient local taxing effort such
that, in combination with the aggregate of general State financial aid
provided the district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the district.
(2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of support
is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Foundation Level of
support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school year, the Foundation Level
of support is $4,425.
(3) For the 2001-2002 school year and each school year thereafter,
the Foundation Level of support is $4,425 or such greater amount as may
be established by law by the General Assembly.
(C) Average Daily Attendance.
(1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant to
subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be utilized.
The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula calculation purposes
shall be the monthly average of the actual number of pupils in
attendance of each school district, as further averaged for the best 3
months of pupil attendance for each school district. In compiling the
figures for the number of pupils in attendance, school districts and
the State Board of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid
funding, conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
(F).
(2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in subsection
(E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the school year
immediately preceding the school year for which general State aid is
being calculated.
(D) Available Local Resources.
(1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant to
subsection (E), a representation of Available Local Resources per
pupil, as that term is defined and determined in this subsection, shall
be utilized. Available Local Resources per pupil shall include a
177 [April 4, 2001]
calculated dollar amount representing local school district revenues
from local property taxes and from Corporate Personal Property
Replacement Taxes, expressed on the basis of pupils in Average Daily
Attendance.
(2) In determining a school district's revenue from local property
taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the equalized
assessed valuation of all taxable property of each school district as
of September 30 of the previous year. The equalized assessed valuation
utilized shall be obtained and determined as provided in subsection
(G).
(3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten through
12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the
product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the district
multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by the district's Average Daily
Attendance figure. For school districts maintaining grades
kindergarten through 8, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
valuation for the district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the
district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil
shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation of the district
multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the district's Average Daily
Attendance figure.
(4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid to each
school district during the calendar year 2 years before the calendar
year in which a school year begins, divided by the Average Daily
Attendance figure for that district, shall be added to the local
property tax revenues per pupil as derived by the application of the
immediately preceding paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil
figures for each school district shall constitute Available Local
Resources as that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation
of general State aid.
(E) Computation of General State Aid.
(1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid allotted
to a school district shall be computed by the State Board of Education
as provided in this subsection.
(2) For any school district for which Available Local Resources
per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level,
general State aid for that district shall be calculated as an amount
equal to the Foundation Level minus Available Local Resources,
multiplied by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
(3) For any school district for which Available Local Resources
per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of 0.93 times the
Foundation Level and less than the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
Level, the general State aid per pupil shall be a decimal proportion of
the Foundation Level derived using a linear algorithm. Under this
linear algorithm, the calculated general State aid per pupil shall
decline in direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level
for a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local Resources
equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level. The
allocation of general State aid for school districts subject to this
paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general State aid per pupil figure
multiplied by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
(4) For any school district for which Available Local Resources
per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
Level, the general State aid for the school district shall be
calculated as the product of $218 multiplied by the Average Daily
Attendance of the school district.
(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
[April 4, 2001] 178
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.
(F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
(1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year, submit to
the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by the State Board of
Education, attendance figures for the school year that began in the
preceding calendar year. The attendance information so transmitted
shall identify the average daily attendance figures for each month of
the school year, except that any days of attendance in August shall be
added to the month of September and any days of attendance in June
shall be added to the month of May.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of attendance by
pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not less than 5 clock
hours of school work per day under direct supervision of: (i) teachers,
or (ii) non-teaching personnel or volunteer personnel when engaging in
non-teaching duties and supervising in those instances specified in
subsection (a) of Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18,
with pupils of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1
through 12.
Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited only to
the districts that pay the tuition to a recognized school.
(2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours of
school shall be subject to the following provisions in the compilation
of Average Daily Attendance.
(a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for only a
part of the school day may be counted on the basis of 1/6 day for
every class hour of instruction of 40 minutes or more attended
pursuant to such enrollment.
(b) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours on the
opening and closing of the school term, and upon the first day of
pupil attendance, if preceded by a day or days utilized as an
institute or teachers' workshop.
(c) A session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted as a
day of attendance upon certification by the regional
superintendent, and approved by the State Superintendent of
Education to the extent that the district has been forced to use
daily multiple sessions.
(d) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted as a
day of attendance (1) when the remainder of the school day or at
least 2 hours in the evening of that day is utilized for an
in-service training program for teachers, up to a maximum of 5 days
per school year of which a maximum of 4 days of such 5 days may be
used for parent-teacher conferences, provided a district conducts
an in-service training program for teachers which has been approved
by the State Superintendent of Education; or, in lieu of 4 such
days, 2 full days may be used, in which event each such day may be
counted as a day of attendance; and (2) when days in addition to
those provided in item (1) are scheduled by a school pursuant to
its school improvement plan adopted under Article 34 or its revised
or amended school improvement plan adopted under Article 2,
provided that (i) such sessions of 3 or more clock hours are
scheduled to occur at regular intervals, (ii) the remainder of the
school days in which such sessions occur are utilized for
in-service training programs or other staff development activities
for teachers, and (iii) a sufficient number of minutes of school
work under the direct supervision of teachers are added to the
school days between such regularly scheduled sessions to accumulate
not less than the number of minutes by which such sessions of 3 or
more clock hours fall short of 5 clock hours. Any full days used
for the purposes of this paragraph shall not be considered for
computing average daily attendance. Days scheduled for in-service
training programs, staff development activities, or parent-teacher
conferences may be scheduled separately for different grade levels
and different attendance centers of the district.
(e) A session of not less than one clock hour of teaching
179 [April 4, 2001]
hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by telephone to the
classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance, however these
pupils must receive 4 or more clock hours of instruction to be
counted for a full day of attendance.
(f) A session of at least 4 clock hours may be counted as a
day of attendance for first grade pupils, and pupils in full day
kindergartens, and a session of 2 or more hours may be counted as
1/2 day of attendance by pupils in kindergartens which provide only
1/2 day of attendance.
(g) For children with disabilities who are below the age of 6
years and who cannot attend 2 or more clock hours because of their
disability or immaturity, a session of not less than one clock hour
may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance; however for such children
whose educational needs so require a session of 4 or more clock
hours may be counted as a full day of attendance.
(h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only 1/2 day
of attendance by each pupil shall not have more than 1/2 day of
attendance counted in any one day. However, kindergartens may
count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5 consecutive school days.
When a pupil attends such a kindergarten for 2 half days on any one
school day, the pupil shall have the following day as a day absent
from school, unless the school district obtains permission in
writing from the State Superintendent of Education. Attendance at
kindergartens which provide for a full day of attendance by each
pupil shall be counted the same as attendance by first grade
pupils. Only the first year of attendance in one kindergarten
shall be counted, except in case of children who entered the
kindergarten in their fifth year whose educational development
requires a second year of kindergarten as determined under the
rules and regulations of the State Board of Education.
(G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
(1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local Resources
required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board of Education shall
secure from the Department of Revenue the value as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue of all taxable property of every
school district, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
extending taxes for the funds of the district as of September 30 of the
previous year and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts
subject to property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by the
requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the calculation
of Available Local Resources.
(2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall be
adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
(a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under this
Section, with respect to any part of a school district within a
redevelopment project area in respect to which a municipality has
adopted tax increment allocation financing pursuant to the Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through
11-74.4-11 of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs
Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized assessed valuation
of real property located in any such project area which is
attributable to an increase above the total initial equalized
assessed valuation of such property shall be used as part of the
equalized assessed valuation of the district, until such time as
all redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act
or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For
the purpose of the equalized assessed valuation of the district,
the total initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be used
until such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid.
(b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for a
school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the real
[April 4, 2001] 180
property value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue for the district an amount computed by dividing the amount
of any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the Property Tax
Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
through 12, by 2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the amount of any
abatement of taxes under subsection (a) of Section 18-165 of the
Property Tax Code by the same percentage rates for district type as
specified in this subparagraph (b).
(3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year thereafter,
if a school district meets all of the criteria of this subsection
(G)(3), the school district's Available Local Resources shall be
calculated under subsection (D) using the district's Extension
Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation as calculated under this
subsection (G)(3).
For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Budget Year": The school year for which general State aid is
calculated and awarded under subsection (E).
"Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to calculate
the Budget Year allocation of general State aid.
"Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year immediately
preceding the Base Tax Year.
"Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the equalized
assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk in the Base Tax
Year multiplied by the limiting rate as calculated by the County
Clerk and defined in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
"Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the
equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk in the
Preceding Tax Year multiplied by the Operating Tax Rate as defined
in subsection (A).
"Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio, certified by
the County Clerk, in which the numerator is the Base Tax Year's Tax
Extension and the denominator is the Preceding Tax Year's Tax
Extension.
"Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined in
subsection (A).
If a school district is subject to property tax extension
limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
and if the Available Local Resources of that school district as
calculated pursuant to subsection (D) using the Base Tax Year are less
than the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level for the Budget
Year, the State Board of Education shall calculate the Extension
Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that district. For the
1999-2000 school year, the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
Valuation of a school district as calculated by the State Board of
Education shall be equal to the product of the district's 1996
Equalized Assessed Valuation and the district's Extension Limitation
Ratio. For the 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter,
the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school
district as calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal
to the product of the last calculated Extension Limitation Equalized
Assessed Valuation and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If
the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school
district as calculated under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the
district's equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant to
subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of calculating the
district's general State aid for the Budget Year pursuant to subsection
(E), that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be
utilized to calculate the district's Available Local Resources under
subsection (D).
(4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for the
1999-2000 school year only, if a school district experienced a
triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed valuation used in
calculating its general State financial aid apportionment for the
181 [April 4, 2001]
1998-1999 school year, the State Board of Education shall calculate the
Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation that would have been
used to calculate the district's 1998-1999 general State aid. 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 Extension Limitation
Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district as calculated under
this paragraph (4) is less than the district's equalized assessed
valuation utilized in calculating the district's 1998-1999 general
State aid allocation, then for purposes 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.
(5) For school districts having a majority of their equalized
assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake,
McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State aid allocated to the
school district for the 1999-2000 school year under the provisions of
subsection (E), (H), and (J) of this Section is less than the amount of
general State aid allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school
year under these subsections, then the general State aid of the
district for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the
difference between these amounts. The total payments made under this
paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall be prorated
if they exceed $14,000,000.
(H) Supplemental General State Aid.
(1) In addition to the general State aid a school district is
allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school districts shall
receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a district's payments of
general State aid, for supplemental general State aid based upon the
concentration level of children from low-income households within the
school district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school
districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for distribution
to school districts as part of the same line item in which the general
State financial aid of school districts is appropriated under this
Section. For purposes of this subsection, the term "Low-Income
Concentration Level" shall be the low-income eligible pupil count from
the most recently available federal census divided by the Average Daily
Attendance of the school district. If, however, the percentage decrease
from the 2 most recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible
pupil count of a high school district with fewer than 400 students
exceeds by 75% or more the percentage change in the total low-income
eligible pupil count of contiguous elementary school districts, whose
boundaries are coterminous with the high school district, the high
school district's low-income eligible pupil count from the earlier
federal census shall be the number used as the low-income eligible
pupil count for the high school district, for purposes of this
subsection (H).
(2) Supplemental general State aid pursuant to this subsection
shall be provided as follows:
(a) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration
Level of at least 20% and less than 35%, the grant for any school
year shall be $800 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil
count.
(b) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration
Level of at least 35% and less than 50%, the grant for the
1998-1999 school year shall be $1,100 multiplied by the low income
eligible pupil count.
(c) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration
Level of at least 50% and less than 60%, the grant for the 1998-99
school year shall be $1,500 multiplied by the low income eligible
pupil count.
(d) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration
Level of 60% or more, the grant for the 1998-99 school year shall
be $1,900 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count.
(e) For the 1999-2000 school year, the per pupil amount
specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d) immediately above
[April 4, 2001] 182
shall be increased to $1,243, $1,600, and $2,000, respectively.
(f) For the 2000-2001 school year, the per pupil amounts
specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d) immediately above
shall be $1,273, $1,640, and $2,050, respectively.
(3) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of more than
1,000 and less than 50,000 that qualify for supplemental general State
aid pursuant to this subsection shall submit a plan to the State Board
of Education prior to October 30 of each year for the use of the funds
resulting from this grant of supplemental general State aid for the
improvement of instruction in which priority is given to meeting the
education needs of disadvantaged children. Such plan shall be
submitted in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the
State Board of Education.
(4) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of 50,000 or
more that qualify for supplemental general State aid pursuant to this
subsection shall be required to distribute from funds available
pursuant to this Section, no less than $261,000,000 in accordance with
the following requirements:
(a) The required amounts shall be distributed to the
attendance centers within the district in proportion to the number
of pupils enrolled at each attendance center who are eligible to
receive free or reduced-price lunches or breakfasts under the
federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966 and under the National School
Lunch Act during the immediately preceding school year.
(b) The distribution of these portions of supplemental and
general State aid among attendance centers according to these
requirements shall not be compensated for or contravened by
adjustments of the total of other funds appropriated to any
attendance centers, and the Board of Education shall utilize
funding from one or several sources in order to fully implement
this provision annually prior to the opening of school.
(c) Each attendance center shall be provided by the school
district a distribution of noncategorical funds and other
categorical funds to which an attendance center is entitled under
law in order that the general State aid and supplemental general
State aid provided by application of this subsection supplements
rather than supplants the noncategorical funds and other
categorical funds provided by the school district to the attendance
centers.
(d) Any funds made available under this subsection that by
reason of the provisions of this subsection are not required to be
allocated and provided to attendance centers may be used and
appropriated by the board of the district for any lawful school
purpose.
(e) Funds received by an attendance center pursuant to this
subsection shall be used by the attendance center at the discretion
of the principal and local school council for programs to improve
educational opportunities at qualifying schools through the
following programs and services: early childhood education, reduced
class size or improved adult to student classroom ratio, enrichment
programs, remedial assistance, attendance improvement, and other
educationally beneficial expenditures which supplement the regular
and basic programs as determined by the State Board of Education.
Funds provided shall not be expended for any political or lobbying
purposes as defined by board rule.
(f) Each district subject to the provisions of this
subdivision (H)(4) shall submit an acceptable plan to meet the
educational needs of disadvantaged children, in compliance with the
requirements of this paragraph, to the State Board of Education
prior to July 15 of each year. This plan shall be consistent with
the decisions of local school councils concerning the school
expenditure plans developed in accordance with part 4 of Section
34-2.3. The State Board shall approve or reject the plan within 60
days after its submission. If the plan is rejected, the district
shall give written notice of intent to modify the plan within 15
days of the notification of rejection and then submit a modified
183 [April 4, 2001]
plan within 30 days after the date of the written notice of intent
to modify. Districts may amend approved plans pursuant to rules
promulgated by the State Board of Education.
Upon notification by the State Board of Education that the
district has not submitted a plan prior to July 15 or a modified
plan within the time period specified herein, the State aid funds
affected by that plan or modified plan shall be withheld by the
State Board of Education until a plan or modified plan is
submitted.
If the district fails to distribute State aid to attendance
centers in accordance with an approved plan, the plan for the
following year shall allocate funds, in addition to the funds
otherwise required by this subsection, to those attendance centers
which were underfunded during the previous year in amounts equal to
such underfunding.
For purposes of determining compliance with this subsection in
relation to the requirements of attendance center funding, each
district subject to the provisions of this subsection shall submit
as a separate document by December 1 of each year a report of
expenditure data for the prior year in addition to any modification
of its current plan. If it is determined that there has been a
failure to comply with the expenditure provisions of this
subsection regarding contravention or supplanting, the State
Superintendent of Education shall, within 60 days of receipt of the
report, notify the district and any affected local school council.
The district shall within 45 days of receipt of that notification
inform the State Superintendent of Education of the remedial or
corrective action to be taken, whether by amendment of the current
plan, if feasible, or by adjustment in the plan for the following
year. Failure to provide the expenditure report or the
notification of remedial or corrective action in a timely manner
shall result in a withholding of the affected funds.
The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and
regulations to implement the provisions of this subsection. No
funds shall be released under this subdivision (H)(4) to any
district that has not submitted a plan that has been approved by
the State Board of Education.
(I) General State Aid for Newly Configured School Districts.
(1) For a new school district formed by combining property
included totally within 2 or more previously existing school districts,
for its first year of existence the general State aid and supplemental
general State aid calculated under this Section shall be computed for
the new district and for the previously existing districts for which
property is totally included within the new district. If the
computation on the basis of the previously existing districts is
greater, a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be made
for the first 4 years of existence of the new district.
(2) For a school district which annexes all of the territory of
one or more entire other school districts, for the first year during
which the change of boundaries attributable to such annexation becomes
effective for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 7A-8, the
general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated under
this Section shall be computed for the annexing district as constituted
after the annexation and for the annexing and each annexed district as
constituted prior to the annexation; and if the computation on the
basis of the annexing and annexed districts as constituted prior to the
annexation is greater, a supplementary payment equal to the difference
shall be made for the first 4 years of existence of the annexing school
district as constituted upon such annexation.
(3) For 2 or more school districts which annex all of the
territory of one or more entire other school districts, and for 2 or
more community unit districts which result upon the division (pursuant
to petition under Section 11A-2) of one or more other unit school
districts into 2 or more parts and which together include all of the
parts into which such other unit school district or districts are so
divided, for the first year during which the change of boundaries
[April 4, 2001] 184
attributable to such annexation or division becomes effective for all
purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 11A-10, as the case may be,
the general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated
under this Section shall be computed for each annexing or resulting
district as constituted after the annexation or division and for each
annexing and annexed district, or for each resulting and divided
district, as constituted prior to the annexation or division; and if
the aggregate of the general State aid and supplemental general State
aid as so computed for the annexing or resulting districts as
constituted after the annexation or division is less than the aggregate
of the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so
computed for the annexing and annexed districts, or for the resulting
and divided districts, as constituted prior to the annexation or
division, then a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be
made and allocated between or among the annexing or resulting
districts, as constituted upon such annexation or division, for the
first 4 years of their existence. The total difference payment shall
be allocated between or among the annexing or resulting districts in
the same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion of the annexed
or divided district or districts which is annexed to or included in
each such annexing or resulting district bears to the total pupil
enrollment from the entire annexed or divided district or districts, as
such pupil enrollment is determined for the school year last ending
prior to the date when the change of boundaries attributable to the
annexation or division becomes effective for all purposes. The amount
of the total difference payment and the amount thereof to be allocated
to the annexing or resulting districts shall be computed by the State
Board of Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other data
which shall be certified to the State Board of Education, on forms
which it shall provide for that purpose, by the regional superintendent
of schools for each educational service region in which the annexing
and annexed districts, or resulting and divided districts are located.
(3.5) Claims for financial assistance under this subsection (I)
shall not be recomputed except as expressly provided under this
Section.
(4) Any supplementary payment made under this subsection (I) shall
be treated as separate from all other payments made pursuant to this
Section.
(J) Supplementary Grants in Aid.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, the
amount of the aggregate general State aid in combination with
supplemental general State aid under this Section for which each school
district is eligible shall be no less than the amount of the aggregate
general State aid entitlement that was received by the district under
Section 18-8 (exclusive of amounts received under subsections 5(p) and
5(p-5) of that Section) for the 1997-98 school year, pursuant to the
provisions of that Section as it was then in effect. If a school
district qualifies to receive a supplementary payment made under this
subsection (J), the amount of the aggregate general State aid in
combination with supplemental general State aid under this Section
which that district is eligible to receive for each school year shall
be no less than the amount of the aggregate general State aid
entitlement that was received by the district under Section 18-8
(exclusive of amounts received under subsections 5(p) and 5(p-5) of
that Section) for the 1997-1998 school year, pursuant to the provisions
of that Section as it was then in effect.
(2) If, as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection (J), a
school district is to receive aggregate general State aid in
combination with supplemental general State aid under this Section for
the 1998-99 school year and any subsequent school year that in any such
school year is less than the amount of the aggregate general State aid
entitlement that the district received for the 1997-98 school year, the
school district shall also receive, from a separate appropriation made
for purposes of this subsection (J), a supplementary payment that is
equal to the amount of the difference in the aggregate State aid
figures as described in paragraph (1).

(K) Grants to Laboratory and Alternative Schools.
In calculating the amount to be paid to the governing board of a
public university that operates a laboratory school under this Section
or to any alternative school that is operated by a regional
superintendent of schools, the State Board of Education shall require
by rule such reporting requirements as it deems necessary.
As used in this Section, "laboratory school" means a public school
which is created and operated by a public university and approved by
the State Board of Education. The governing board of a public
university which receives funds from the State Board under this
subsection (K) may not increase the number of students enrolled in its
laboratory school from a single district, if that district is already
sending 50 or more students, except under a mutual agreement between
the school board of a student's district of residence and the
university which operates the laboratory school. A laboratory school
may not have more than 1,000 students, excluding students with
disabilities in a special education program.
As used in this Section, "alternative school" means a public school
which is created and operated by a Regional Superintendent of Schools
and approved by the State Board of Education. Such alternative schools
may offer courses of instruction for which credit is given in regular
school programs, courses to prepare students for the high school
equivalency testing program or vocational and occupational training.
A regional superintendent of schools may contract with a school
district or a public community college district to operate an
alternative school. An alternative school serving more than one
educational service region may be established by the regional
superintendents of schools of the affected educational service regions.
An alternative school serving more than one educational service region
may be operated under such terms as the regional superintendents of
schools of those educational service regions may agree.
Each laboratory and alternative school shall file, on forms
provided by the State Superintendent of Education, an annual State aid
claim which states the Average Daily Attendance of the school's
students by month. The best 3 months' Average Daily Attendance shall
be computed for each school. The general State aid entitlement shall be
computed by multiplying the applicable Average Daily Attendance by the
Foundation Level as determined under this Section.
(L) Payments, Additional Grants in Aid and Other Requirements.
(1) For a school district operating under the financial
supervision of an Authority created under Article 34A, the general
State aid otherwise payable to that district under this Section, but
not the supplemental general State aid, shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the budget for the operations of the Authority as certified by
the Authority to the State Board of Education, and an amount equal to
such reduction shall be paid to the Authority created for such district
for its operating expenses in the manner provided in Section 18-11.
The remainder of general State school aid for any such district shall
be paid in accordance with Article 34A when that Article provides for a
disposition other than that provided by this Article.
(2) (Blank).
(3) Summer school. Summer school payments shall be made as
provided in Section 18-4.3.
(M) Education Funding Advisory Board.
The Education Funding Advisory Board, hereinafter in this
subsection (M) referred to as the "Board", is hereby created. The Board
shall consist of 5 members who are appointed by the Governor, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate. The members appointed shall
include representatives of education, business, and the general public.
One of the members so appointed shall be designated by the Governor at
the time the appointment is made as the chairperson of the Board. The
initial members of the Board may be appointed any time after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. The regular term of
each member of the Board shall be for 4 years from the third Monday of
January of the year in which the term of the member's appointment is to
[April 4, 2001] 186
commence, except that of the 5 initial members appointed to serve on
the Board, the member who is appointed as the chairperson shall serve
for a term that commences on the date of his or her appointment and
expires on the third Monday of January, 2002, and the remaining 4
members, by lots drawn at the first meeting of the Board that is held
after all 5 members are appointed, shall determine 2 of their number to
serve for terms that commence on the date of their respective
appointments and expire on the third Monday of January, 2001, and 2 of
their number to serve for terms that commence on the date of their
respective appointments and expire on the third Monday of January,
2000. All members appointed to serve on the Board shall serve until
their respective successors are appointed and confirmed. Vacancies
shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments. If a
vacancy in membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not in
session, the Governor shall make a temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the Senate, when he or she shall appoint, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, a person to fill that membership for
the unexpired term. If the Senate is not in session when the initial
appointments are made, those appointments shall be made as in the case
of vacancies.
The Education Funding Advisory Board shall be deemed established,
and the initial members appointed by the Governor to serve as members
of the Board shall take office, on the date that the Governor makes his
or her appointment of the fifth initial member of the Board, whether
those initial members are then serving pursuant to appointment and
confirmation or pursuant to temporary appointments that are made by the
Governor as in the case of vacancies.
The State Board of Education shall provide such staff assistance to
the Education Funding Advisory Board as is reasonably required for the
proper performance by the Board of its responsibilities.
For school years after the 2000-2001 school year, the Education
Funding Advisory Board, in consultation with the State Board of
Education, shall make recommendations as provided in this subsection
(M) to the General Assembly for the foundation level under subdivision
(B)(3) of this Section and for the supplemental general State aid grant
level under subsection (H) of this Section for districts with high
concentrations of children from poverty. The recommended foundation
level shall be determined based on a methodology which incorporates the
basic education expenditures of low-spending schools exhibiting high
academic performance. The Education Funding Advisory Board shall make
such recommendations to the General Assembly on January 1 of odd
numbered years, beginning January 1, 2001.
(N) (Blank).
(O) References.
(1) References in other laws to the various subdivisions of
Section 18-8 as that Section existed before its repeal and replacement
by this Section 18-8.05 shall be deemed to refer to the corresponding
provisions of this Section 18-8.05, to the extent that those references
remain applicable.
(2) References in other laws to State Chapter 1 funds shall be
deemed to refer to the supplemental general State aid provided under
subsection (H) of this Section.

HOUSE BILL 1825. Having been printed, was taken up and read by
title a second time.
The following amendment was offered in the Committee on
Registration & Regulation, adopted and printed:
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO HOUSE BILL 1825
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1825 in Section 15, by replacing
all of subsection (b) with the following:
"(b) It is sufficient for compliance with this Section that a copy
of the written explanation of services is given to the animal owner at
the time the services are offered.".
Representative Hassert offered the following amendment and moved
its adoption:
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 1825
AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 1825 by replacing the title with
the following:
"AN ACT in relation to the cremation of companion animals."; and
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Companion
Animal Cremation Act.
Section 5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, unless the
context indicates otherwise:
"Companion animal" or "animal" means a deceased animal that had a
companion or pet relationship with an owner at the time of the animal's
death.
"Provider of companion animal cremation services" or "provider"
means a person, company, or other entity engaging in the business of
cremating deceased companion animals in Illinois.
"Cremation remains" means the material remaining after the
cremation of an animal, which may include ashes, skeletal remains, and
other residue resulting from the incineration process, and may be
pulverized or otherwise processed by the provider of cremation
services.
"Individually partitioned cremation" means a cremation process in
which either (i) only one companion animal at a time is cremated in the
189 [April 4, 2001]
incinerator or (ii) more than one companion animal is cremated in the
incinerator at the same time, but each of the animals is completely
separated from the others by partitions during the cremation process;
and in which the commingling of significant amounts of cremation
remains from different animals is unlikely to occur.
"Communal cremation" means a cremation process in which companion
animals are cremated together without effective partitions or
separation during the cremation process, and in which the commingling
of significant amounts of cremation remains from different animals is
likely or certain to occur.
"Commingling of significant amounts of cremation remains from
different animals" means that specific cremation remains cannot be
attributed to a particular animal, or that the cremation remains
attributed to one companion animal contain more than 1% by weight of
cremation remains from one or more other companion animals. The
presence, in the cremation remains of a companion animal, of the
remains of any creature that was contained within the body of that
animal at the time of cremation (including parasites, insects, and food
or creatures eaten by that companion animal) does not constitute
"commingling" for the purposes of this Act.
A person or business entity is deemed to refer animal owners or
bring business to a provider "on a regular basis" if the person or
entity (i) has an ongoing contractual or agency relationship with the
provider relating to the cremation of companion animals, (ii) receives
any compensation or consideration from the provider or animal owners
relating to the cremation of companion animals by the provider, or
(iii) refers or brings to the provider the business of more than 5
animal owners in an average month.
Section 10. Written explanation of services.
(a) A provider of companion animal cremation services must prepare
a written explanation of the services offered, which may but need not
be in the form of a brochure.
The written explanation of services must include a detailed
explanation of each service offered. For each type or level of
cremation service offered, the written explanation of services shall
disclose the specific services to be provided.
If any part of the deceased companion animal will be removed, used,
or sold by the provider before or after the cremation, the written
explanation of services must disclose that fact.
(b) The written explanation of services must not include any false
or misleading information. A written explanation of services is
misleading if:
(1) it fails to include a detailed explanation of the
cremation services offered or fails to include, for each type or
level of cremation service offered, any of the disclosures required
under subsection (a);
(2) it uses the term "private" or "individual" with respect
to any communal cremation procedure or with respect to an
individually partitioned cremation procedure that will cremate more
than one companion animal at the same time;
(3) it uses the term "individually partitioned" or "separate"
with respect to a communal cremation process; or
(4) it includes any text, picture, illustration, or
combination thereof, or uses any layout, typography, or color
scheme, in a way that is likely to lead a person of normal
intelligence to misunderstand the nature of the services to be
provided or to fail to read or understand certain parts of the
written explanation of services.
(c) A provider of companion animal cremation services shall
provide the written explanation of services, without charge:
(1) to the owner of each deceased animal with whom the
provider agrees to provide cremation services, or the person making
cremation arrangements on the owner's behalf;
(2) to all veterinarians, pet shops, and other persons or
entities known to the provider who refer animal owners or bring
deceased animals to the provider on a regular basis, in quantities
[April 4, 2001] 190
sufficient for distribution by those persons or entities to the
animal owners whose business is being referred or brought to the
provider;
(3) to the Office of the Attorney General, at least annually;
and
(4) to any other person upon request.
(d) The preparation or distribution by a provider of a written
explanation of services that the provider knows or should know to be
false or misleading constitutes a business offense, punishable by a
fine of at least $1,001 but not more than $1,500 for a first offense
and at least $2,000 but not more than $2,500 for each subsequent
offense.
A knowing failure to prepare or distribute a written explanation of
services as required by this Section constitutes a business offense,
punishable by a fine of at least $1,001 but not more than $1,500 for a
first offense and at least $2,000 but not more than $2,500 for each
subsequent offense.
Section 15. Persons referring or bringing business to a provider.
(a) A veterinarian, pet shop, or other person or business entity
that refers owners of deceased animals, or persons making arrangements
on an owner's behalf, to a provider on a regular basis shall make
available a copy of the provider's written explanation of services to
the animal owner, or person making arrangements on the owner's behalf,
at the time of the referral.
(b) A veterinarian, pet shop, or other person or business entity
that accepts deceased companion animals for cremation through services
obtained from a provider on a regular basis shall make available a copy
of the provider's written explanation of services to each animal owner,
or person making arrangements on the owner's behalf, from whom a
deceased companion animal is accepted.
(c) It is sufficient for compliance with this Section that a copy
of the written explanation of services is given to the animal owner, or
the person making arrangements on the owner's behalf, at the time the
services are offered.
(d) Publishing or otherwise disseminating advertising for a
provider of companion animal cremation services does not, in itself,
constitute referring or bringing business to that provider for the
purposes of this Section.
Section 20. Certification; penalty for false certification.
(a) Whenever a provider of companion animal cremation services
undertakes to provide services that include the return of the cremation
remains of the cremated animal, the provider shall include a
certification along with the returned cremation remains, declaring to
the best of the provider's knowledge and belief that, except as
otherwise specifically indicated in the certificate, the cremation and
any other services specified were provided in accordance with the
representations of the provider in the applicable portions of the
provider's written explanation of services.
(b) To knowingly make a false certification under subsection (a)
is a business offense, punishable by a fine of at least $1,001 but not
more than $1,500 for a first offense and at least $2,000 but not more
than $2,500 for each subsequent offense.
Section 95. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices
Act is amended by adding Section 2KK as follows:
(815 ILCS 505/2KK new)
Sec. 2KK. Animal cremation services. It is an unlawful practice
within the meaning of this Act for a provider of companion animal
cremation services (1) to fail to prepare or distribute a written
explanation of services as required by the Companion Animal Cremation
Act; (2) to prepare or distribute a written explanation of services
under that Act that the provider knows or should know to be false or
misleading; or (3) to knowingly make a false certification under
Section 20 of that Act.".
The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted and ordered
printed.

credit criteria or a credit score, in whole or in part, as a reason to

corrected, and whether the facility's failure to correct the violation
is the result of a willful disregard of the requirements of this Act.
(a-5) An investigation under subsection (a) must include an
investigation of (i) whether a patient classification committee was
created pursuant to Section 15 and (ii) whether the committee was
implementing staffing requirements as required under this Act.

amount that is not less than $8,000 and not more than $15,000. During
each week thereafter, the agency shall impose a civil penalty for each
day of violation in an amount that is 3 times the amount imposed per
day in the immediately preceding week.

an expedited hearing on the petition, irrespective of the position of
the proceeding on the court's calendar. On a showing that the
violation has occurred, the court shall grant an order enjoining the
violation. In addition to granting an order enjoining the violation,
the court may do either or both of the following:
(1) On a showing that a person's violation has been willful,
the court may issue an order terminating the facility's authority
to participate in any State-funded program that reimburses the
facility for providing health care services.
(2) On a showing that a person's violation has resulted in
imminent danger of harm or death to a patient, the court may issue
an order requiring the facility to close the patient care unit in
which the violation has occurred.
Section 75. Private right of action.
(a) Any person who suffers damage as a result of a violation of
this Act committed by an employer or an employer's representative may
bring an action against the employer in the circuit court. Upon a
finding that the employer or the employer's representative committed a
violation of this Act, the court may award the plaintiff his or her
actual damages together with his or her reasonable attorney's fees
incurred in maintaining the action.
(b) In an action brought under this Section, any evidence that an
employee was required to work overtime in a manner inconsistent with
Section 35 of this Act creates a presumption that the employee's
employer committee a violation of this Act. To rebut this presumption,
the employer must prove that an unforeseen emergent circumstance, which
required overtime work only as a last resort, existed at the time the
employee was required or compelled to work.
(c) This Section applies only to a health care facility that is
maintained by the State, a unit of local government, or a department or
agency of the State or a unit of local government.
Section 80. Posting of Act summary. Every employer who is subject
to any provision of this Act must keep a summary of this Act approved
by the Director of Labor posted in a conspicuous and accessible place
in or about the premises wherever any person subject to this Act is
employed. The Department of Labor must furnish copies of the summary
on request to employers, without charge.
Section 85. Adoption of rules. Each appropriate State regulatory
agency shall adopt rules, as each agency considers necessary to
implement this Act.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming
law.".
The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted and ordered
printed.
There being no further amendments, the foregoing Amendment No. 1
was ordered engrossed; and the bill, as amended, was advanced to the
order of Third Reading.
