14        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
15        (e);
16            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
17        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
18            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is

1        subsection (f).
2        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
3    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
4    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
5    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or

6    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
7    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
8    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
9    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
10    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
11    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
12    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
13    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
14    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
15    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
16    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
17    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
18    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
19    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
20    property to the extent of such reduction.
21        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
22    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
23    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred

10    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
11    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that

2    Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
3Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
4State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
5other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
6threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
7a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's
8license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
9driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of
10driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public safety,
11is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a
12monitoring device driving permit. A person who drives and fails
13to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device
14driving permit commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this
15Code.
16    The following procedures shall apply whenever a first
17offender, as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, is
18arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
19similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the
20provisions of Section 11-501.1:
21    (a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving
22privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1 of
23this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice
24informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring
25device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at
26minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed

 

 

10100HB2238sam001- 182 -LRB101 08064 CPF 61248 a

1for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
2ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
3Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and
4procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
5provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
6information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
7person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
8notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
9the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
10subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
11issued if the Secretary finds that:
12        (1) the offender's driver's license is otherwise
13    invalid;
14        (2) death or great bodily harm to another resulted from
15    the arrest for Section 11-501;
16        (3) the offender has been previously convicted of
17    reckless homicide or aggravated driving under the
18    influence involving death;
19        (4) the offender is less than 18 years of age; or

5establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and
6conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an
7ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
8the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device
9provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
10prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the
11Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
12Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
13    Upon receipt of the notice, as provided in paragraph (a) of
14this Section, the person may file a petition to decline
15issuance of the MDDP with the court of venue. The court shall
16admonish the offender of all consequences of declining issuance
17of the MDDP including, but not limited to, the enhanced
18penalties for driving while suspended. After being so
19admonished, the offender shall be permitted, in writing, to
20execute a notice declining issuance of the MDDP. This notice

8shall provide to the Secretary a form, as prescribed by the
9Secretary, completed by the employer verifying that the
10employee must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of
11employment. If approved by the Secretary, the form must be in
12the driver's possession while operating an employer-owner
13vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device. No
14person may use this exemption to drive a school bus, school
15vehicle, or a vehicle designed to transport more than 15
16passengers. No person may use this exemption to drive an
17employer-owned motor vehicle that is owned by an entity that is
18wholly or partially owned by the person holding the MDDP, or by
19a family member of the person holding the MDDP. No person may
20use this exemption to drive an employer-owned vehicle that is
21made available to the employee for personal use. No person may
22drive the exempted vehicle more than 12 hours per day, 6 days
23per week.
24    (a-3) Persons who are issued a MDDP and who must drive a
25farm tractor to and from a farm, within 50 air miles from the

9offense or is convicted of or receives court supervision for
10any offense for which alcohol or drugs is an element of the
11offense and in which a motor vehicle was involved (for an
12arrest other than the one for which the MDDP is issued), or
13de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the
14Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.
15    (c-5) If the Secretary determines that the person seeking
16the MDDP is indigent, the Secretary shall provide the person
17with a written document as evidence of that determination, and
