| 1 | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 489
| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 489 by replacing | ||||||
| 3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
| 4 | "Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | ||||||
| 5 | adding Section 227 as follows: | ||||||
| 6 | (35 ILCS 5/227 new) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 227. Foster family home tax credit. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2018, | ||||||
| 9 | an individual who has a licensed foster family home with an | ||||||
| 10 | applicable foster care placement in Illinois is entitled to a | ||||||
| 11 | credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
| 12 | Section 201 in an amount equal to $500. | ||||||
| 13 | (b) The credit shall not be awarded to a licensed foster | ||||||
| 14 | family home if any person living in the household: | ||||||
| 15 | (1) has had a foster care license revoked; | ||||||
| 16 | (2) has surrendered a foster care license for cause; | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (3) has had a foster care license expire or surrendered | ||||||
| 2 | a foster care license while either an abuse or neglect | ||||||
| 3 | investigation or licensing investigation was pending or an | ||||||
| 4 | involuntary placement hold was placed on the home; or | ||||||
| 5 | (4) has had an indicated report of abuse or neglect. | ||||||
| 6 | (c) In no event shall a credit under this Section reduce a | ||||||
| 7 | taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of credit | ||||||
| 8 | exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess may be | ||||||
| 9 | carried forward and applied to the tax liability for the 5 | ||||||
| 10 | taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax credit | ||||||
| 11 | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | ||||||
| 12 | liability. If there are credits for more than one year that are | ||||||
| 13 | available to offset liability, the earlier credit shall be | ||||||
| 14 | applied first. | ||||||
| 15 | (d) For purposes of this Section: | ||||||
| 16 | "Applicable foster care placement" means a foster care | ||||||
| 17 | placement in an Illinois-licensed foster family home under the | ||||||
| 18 | Child Care Act of 1969 for at least 6 months out of the year.
| ||||||
| 19 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 20 | becoming law.".
