11    Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
12include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
13of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
14or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance use
15disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
16approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor to
17the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
18purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
19referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
20licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
21disorder treatment.
22    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
23program or facility within or available to the Department for a
24youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
25adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
26youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate

 

 

HB5764- 145 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
2The plan may be developed within the Department or through
3purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
4within its statutory authority to do.
5    (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
6State and shall include but not be limited to the following
7services:
8        (1) case management;
9        (2) homemakers;
10        (3) counseling;

16        (1) comprehensive family-based services;
17        (2) assessments;
18        (3) respite care; and
19        (4) in-home health services.
20    The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
21services it makes available to children or families or for
22which it refers children or families.
23    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
24assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
25establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
26grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental

 

 

HB5764- 146 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
2children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
3in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
4assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
5available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
6dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
7been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
8died. The Department may continue to provide financial
9assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
10determined eligible for financial assistance under this
11subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
12adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
13new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
14parents. The Department may also provide categories of
15financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
16shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
17grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
18Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
194-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
20who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
21appointment of the guardian.
22    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
23of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
24annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
25allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
26may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost

 

 

HB5764- 147 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
2of the child.
3    Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
4inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
5garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
6a judgment or debt.
7    (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
8of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
9either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
10outside of the State of Illinois.
11    (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
12child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
13dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
14the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
15    (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
16services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
17Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
18extended families. Family preservation services shall be
19offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
20care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
21custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
22(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
23maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
24shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
25children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
26in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,

 

 

HB5764- 148 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
2other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
3subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
4that reunification services may be offered as provided in
5paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
6Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
7private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
8or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
9subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
10of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
11facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
12hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
13of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
14out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
15reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
16    The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
17Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
18preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
19child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
20the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
21offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
22report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
23prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
24Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
25or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
26considered in the investigation. The Department may also

 

 

HB5764- 149 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
2any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
3such child or family to services available from other agencies
4in the community, even if the report is determined to be
5unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
6are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
7reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
8services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
9services to any child or family after completion of a family
10assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
11under the "differential response program" provided for in
12subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
13Child Reporting Act.
14    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
15children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
16care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
17as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
18requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
19Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
20be committed to the Department by any court without the
21approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
22effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
232017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
24Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
25adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
26committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor

 

 

HB5764- 150 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
2Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
3for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
4exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
5minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
6reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
7of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
82017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
9Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
10adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
11committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
12less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
13Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
14for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
15exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
16minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
17reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
18of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
19when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
20dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
21circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
22delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
23any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
24Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
25hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
26release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.

 

 

HB5764- 151 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
2date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
3implement a special program of family preservation services to
4support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
5experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
6of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
7developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
8services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
9child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
10or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
11Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
12family to services available from other agencies in the
13community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
14reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
15reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
16these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
17and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
18social service providers and the general public about these
19special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
20the services offered and the number of families served under
21the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
22determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
23allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
24disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
25including, but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
26as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and

 

 

HB5764- 152 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
2Psychiatric Association.
3    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
4the child require that the child be placed in the most
5permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
6possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
7Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
8concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
9earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
10include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
11the family when the child can be cared for at home without
12endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
13the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
14is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
15permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
16    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
17to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
18reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
19paramount concern.
20    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
21ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
22prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
23child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
24reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
25unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
26of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the

 

 

HB5764- 153 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1Department believes that further reunification services would
2be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
3reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
4not required to provide further reunification services after
5such a finding.
6    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
7made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
8best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
9also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
10placement made is the best available placement to provide
11permanency for the child.
12    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
13planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
14shall consider the following factors when determining
15appropriateness of concurrent planning:
16        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
17        (2) the past history of the family;
18        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
19    the family;
20        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
21        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
22    family to reunite;
23        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
24    provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
25        (7) the age of the child;
26        (8) placement of siblings.

 

 

HB5764- 154 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
2child if:
3        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
4    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
5    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
6    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
7    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
8        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
9    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
10If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
11guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
12may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
13custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
14in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
15custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
16apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
17resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
18enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
19health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
20parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
21such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
22resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
23home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
24follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
255-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
26    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities

 

 

HB5764- 155 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
2pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
3Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
4pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
5Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
6under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
7custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
8and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
9required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
10Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
11and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
12subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
131987.
14    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
15custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
16examination.
17    A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
18temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
19the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
20Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
21the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
22The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for 10
23days after the receipt of the request, during which period the
24Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
25Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
26Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until

 

 

HB5764- 156 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
2the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
3custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
4later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
5the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
6temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
7    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
8age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
9that cares for children who are in need of secure living
10arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
11determination is made by the facility director and the Director
12or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
13subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
14This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
15to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
16Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
17child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
18Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
19facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
20placement of the child in a secure care facility.
21    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
22in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
23Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
24have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
25safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
26best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and

 

 

HB5764- 157 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
2facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
3guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
4Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
5payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
6in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
7training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
8average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
9child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
10operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
11payments does not apply in cases where children require
12specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
13disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
14combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
15of such children are not available at payment rates within the
16limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
17services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
18assignment, sale, attachment, or garnishment or otherwise.
19    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
20welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
21sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
22minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
23subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
241987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
25provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
26yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have

 

 

HB5764- 158 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1responsibility for the development and delivery of services
2under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
3this Section through the Department of Children and Family
4Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
5Youth participating in services under this Section shall
6cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
7agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
8youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
9homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
10youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
11Department shall continue child welfare services under this
12Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
13of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
14self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
15Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
16readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
17welfare services under this Section and how such services may
18be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
19the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
20information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
21describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
22sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
23    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
24review and appeal process for children and families who request
25or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
26care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and

 

 

HB5764- 159 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
2afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
3families in the case of placement by the Department, including
4the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
5that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
6welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
7affords those rights to children and foster families. The
8Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
9hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
10concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
11child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
12alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
13appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
14child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
15determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
16and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
171987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
18of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
19involving a change of placement decision.
20    (p) (Blank).
21    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
22for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of
23money or other property which is received on behalf of such
24children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
25or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
26the Department.

 

 

HB5764- 160 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
2interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
3institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
4responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
5Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
6the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
7payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
8payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
9payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
10the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
11subsection.
12    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
13Department shall:
14        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
15    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
16    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
17    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
18    approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
19    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
20    records of all disbursements for each account for any
21    purpose.
22        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
23    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
24    not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
25    utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
26    regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,

 

 

HB5764- 161 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
2    $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
3    General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
4    $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
5        (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
6    for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
7    The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
8    State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
9    or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
10    (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
11encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
12Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
13have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
14hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of
15such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
16such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
17or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
18confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
19the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
20adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
21such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
22agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
23Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the

HB5764- 176 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Sec. 605-913 913. Clean Water Workforce Pipeline Program.
2    (a) The General Assembly finds the following:
3        (1) The fresh surface water and groundwater supply in
4    Illinois and Lake Michigan constitute vital natural
5    resources that require careful stewardship and protection
6    for future generations. Access to safe and clean drinking
7    water is the right of all Illinois residents.
8        (2) To adequately protect these resources and provide
9    safe and clean drinking water, substantial investment is
10    needed to replace lead components in drinking water
11    infrastructure, improve wastewater treatment, flood
12    control, and stormwater management, control aquatic
13    invasive species, implement green infrastructure
14    solutions, and implement other infrastructure solutions to
15    protect water quality.
16        (3) Implementing these clean water solutions will
17    require a skilled and trained workforce, and new
18    investments will demand additional workers with
19    specialized skills.
20        (4) Water infrastructure jobs have been shown to
21    provide living wages and contribute to Illinois' economy.
22        (5) Significant populations of Illinois residents,
23    including, but not limited to, residents of environmental
24    justice communities, economically and socially
25    disadvantaged communities, those returning from the
26    criminal justice system, foster care alumni, and in

 

 

HB5764- 177 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    particular women and transgender persons, are in need of
2    access to skilled living wage jobs like those in the water
3    infrastructure sector.
4        (6) Many of these residents are more likely to live in
5    communities with aging and inadequate clean water
6    infrastructure and suffer from threats to surface and
7    drinking water quality.
8        (7) The State can provide significant economic
9    opportunities to these residents and achieve greater
10    environmental and public health by investing in clean water
11    infrastructure.
12        (8) New training, recruitment, support, and placement
13    efforts are needed to connect these residents with career
14    opportunities in water infrastructure.
15        (9) The State must invest in both clean water
16    infrastructure and workforce development efforts in order
17    to achieve these goals.
18    (b) From appropriations made from the Build Illinois Bond
19Fund, Capital Development Fund, or General Revenue Fund or
20other funds as identified by the Department, the Department
21shall create a Clean Water Workforce Pipeline Program to
22provide grants and other financial assistance to prepare and

9labor organizations for new efforts specifically focused on
10engaging residents of environmental justice communities,
11economically and socially disadvantaged communities, those
12returning from the criminal justice system, foster care alumni,
13and in particular women and transgender persons in these
14populations.
15    Grants and other financial assistance shall be awarded on a
16competitive and annual basis for the following activities:
17        (1) identification of individuals for job training in
18    the water sector;
19        (2) counseling, preparation, skills training, and
20    other support to increase a candidate's likelihood of
21    success in a job training program and career;

3        (5) financial, administrative, and management
4    assistance for organizations engaged in these activities.
5    (c) It shall be an annual goal of the Program to train and

9apprenticeships annually: residents of environmental justice
10communities; residents of economically and socially
11disadvantaged communities; those returning from the criminal
12justice system; foster care alumni; and, in particular, women
13and transgender persons. In awarding and administering grants
14under this Program, the Department shall strive to provide
15assistance equitably throughout the State.

17through the Program onto projects receiving State financial
18assistance, the Department shall coordinate with the Illinois
19Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois Finance
20Authority, and other State agencies that provide financial
21support for water infrastructure projects. These agencies

3are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
4under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
5that for purposes of this determination premiums from
6reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
7reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
17insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
18allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
19income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
20purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
21a mutual insurer under common management.
22        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
23    shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
24    (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
25            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
26        insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all

 

 

HB5764- 360 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        credits allowed under this Act, plus
2            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the
3        Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
4        tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
5        Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under
6        Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code,

9    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
10    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
11    409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
12    no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
13    and (d).
14        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15    subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
16    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
17    subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
18    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
19    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
20    subsection (d).
21    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
22Section 250.
23    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit

26        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%

 

 

HB5764- 361 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5    property placed in service during the taxable year,
6    provided such property is placed in service on or after
7    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13    which they file employment records with the Illinois
14    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26    other than the year in which the property was placed in

 

 

HB5764- 362 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

 

 

HB5764- 363 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5    shall be applied first.
6        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7    which:
8            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9        buildings and structural components of buildings and
10        signs that are real property, but not including land or
11        improvements to real property that are not a structural
12        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14        other appurtenances;
15            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19        (e);
20            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

 

 

HB5764- 364 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
2            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
3        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
4        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
5        subsection (f).
6        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
7    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
8    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
9    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
10    assembling which changes some existing material into new
11    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
12    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
13    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
15    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
16    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
17    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
18    personal property for use or consumption and not for
19    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
20    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
21    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
22    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
23    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
24    electricity.
25        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

HB5764- 365 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    income tax purposes.
2        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6    date of such increase in basis.
7        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24    property to the extent of such reduction.
25        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

 

 

HB5764- 366 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
2    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
3    December 31, 2018.
4        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
5    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
6    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
7    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
8    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
9    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
10    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
11    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
12    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
13    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
14    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
15    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
16    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
17    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
18    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
19    shall be irrevocable.
20        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
21    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
22    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
23    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
24    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
25    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
26    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its

 

 

HB5764- 367 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3    corporation, determined in accordance with the
4    determination of income and distributive share of income
5    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
6    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
7    of Section 250.
8    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
9Redevelopment Zone.
10        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
11    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
12    investment in qualified property which is placed in service
13    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
14    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22    determined in accordance with the determination of income
23    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
26    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the

 

 

HB5764- 368 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
14    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
15    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19        buildings and structural components of buildings;
20            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
21        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
22        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
23        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24        (f);
25            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

HB5764- 369 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
3            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6        subsection (e).
7        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9    income tax purposes.
10        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
13    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
14    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
15    date of such increase in basis.
16        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
19    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
20    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26    recomputing the investment credit which would have been

 

 

HB5764- 370 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8    property to the extent of such reduction.
9        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
16    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19    employment for the first year in which they file employment
20    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
23    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
24    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
25    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
26        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,

 

 

HB5764- 371 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
2    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
3    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
4    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
5        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
6    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
7    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
8    carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
9    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
10    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
11    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest year
12    for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits
13    from more than one taxable year that are available to
14    offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
15    first.
16        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
17    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
18    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
19    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
20    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
21    determined in accordance with the determination of income
22    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
23    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
24        The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under the
25    Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9 this

9    and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
10    property which is placed in service by a Department of

5    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
6    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
7    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
8    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
9    for the tax year in which the property is placed in

11    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
12    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
13    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
14    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
15    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
16    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one

13    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
15    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
16    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
17    the date of such increase in basis.
18        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
19    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

2    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
3    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
4    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
5    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
6    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
7    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
8    basis of qualified property resulting from a
9    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
10    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
11    reduction.

2Enterprise Zone Act.
3    The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
4liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
5credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
6carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability in
7succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
8paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
9shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
10liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable year
11that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
12shall be applied first.

6multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
7Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
8allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
9base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
10rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.

12subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
13because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
14and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
15liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
16forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
17(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
18year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
19year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
20applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
21liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
22than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
23earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
24first.

HB5764- 378 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
2subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
3shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
4recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
5imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
6reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
7taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
8year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

1Internal Revenue Code.
2    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
3the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
4the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
5first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
6first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
7there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
8year that is available to offset a liability, the earliest
9credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
10carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
11after December 31, 2003.
12    (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending

26with the determination of income and distributive share of

 

 

HB5764- 380 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
2Internal Revenue Code.
3    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
4means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
5credit for increasing research activities which would be
6allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
7which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
8increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
9of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
10incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
11"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
12of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
13period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
14preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
15made.
16    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
17year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
18unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
19as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
20taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
21first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
22prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
23ending on or after December 31, 2003.

252 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
26year will be applied first against the tax liability for the

 

 

HB5764- 381 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
2remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
3applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
4liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
5credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
6following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
7that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
8than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
9credit is given was incurred.
10    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
11amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
12Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
13    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

6    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
7    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
8    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
9    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
10    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
11    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
12    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
13    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
14    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
15    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
16    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
17    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
18    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
19    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
20    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
21    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
22    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with

2    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
3    a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
4    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
5    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
6    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
7    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
8    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
9    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
10    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
11    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
12    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
13    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
14    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
15    accordance with the determination of income and
16    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
17    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
18        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
19    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
20    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
21    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
22    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
23    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
24    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
25    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for

2    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
3    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
4    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
5    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
6    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
7    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
8    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
9    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
10    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
11    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
12    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
13    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
14    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
15    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
16    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).

13imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
14increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
15under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
16shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
17on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

HB5764- 400 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
2against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
3investment in qualified property.
4        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
5    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
6    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
7    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
8    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
9    property placed in service during the taxable year,
10    provided such property is placed in service on or after
11    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
12    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
13    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
14    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
15    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
16    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
17    which they file employment records with the Illinois
18    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
19    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
20    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
21    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
22    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
23    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
24    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
25    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
26    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall

 

 

HB5764- 401 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
2    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
3    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
4    other than the year in which the property was placed in
5    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
6    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
7    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
8    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
9    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
10    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
11    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
12    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
13    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
14    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
15    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
16    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
17    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
18    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
19    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
20    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
21    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
22    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
23    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
24    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
25    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
26    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,

 

 

HB5764- 402 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
2    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
3    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
4    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
5    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
6    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
7    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
8    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
9    shall be applied first.
10        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
11    which:
12            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13        buildings and structural components of buildings and
14        signs that are real property, but not including land or
15        improvements to real property that are not a structural
16        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
17        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
18        other appurtenances;
19            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
20        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
21        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
22        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
23        (e);
24            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
25        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
26            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is

 

 

HB5764- 403 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
2        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
3        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
4        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
5        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
6            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
7        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
8        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
9        subsection (f).
10        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
11    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
12    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
13    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
14    assembling which changes some existing material into new
15    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
16    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
17    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
18    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
19    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
20    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
21    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
22    personal property for use or consumption and not for
23    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
24    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
25    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
26    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not

 

 

HB5764- 404 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
2    electricity.
3        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
4    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
5    income tax purposes.
6        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
7    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
8    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
9    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
10    date of such increase in basis.
11        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
12    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
13        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
14    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
15    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
16    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
17    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
18    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
19    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
20    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
21    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
22    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
23    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
24    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
25    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
26    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the

 

 

HB5764- 405 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified

9    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
10    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
11    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
12    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
13    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
14    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
15    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
16    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
17    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
18    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
19    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that

2    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
3    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
4    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
5    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during

16    investment in qualified property which is placed in service
17    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
18    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
19    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
20    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone

23    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
24    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall

1    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
2    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
3    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
4    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
5    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
6    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
7    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
8    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
9    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
10    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
11    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
12    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
13    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
14    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
15    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
16    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
17    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
18    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
19    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
20    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
21        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
22            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
23        buildings and structural components of buildings;
24            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
25        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
26        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not

 

 

HB5764- 408 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
2        (f);
3            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
4        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
5            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
6        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
7            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
8        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
9        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
10        subsection (e).
11        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
12    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
13    income tax purposes.
14        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
15    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
16    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
18    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
19    date of such increase in basis.
20        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
21    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
22        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
23    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
24    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
25    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
26    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after

 

 

HB5764- 409 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
2    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
3    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
4    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
5    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
6    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
7    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
8    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
9    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
10    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
11    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
12    property to the extent of such reduction.
13        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
14    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
15    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
16    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
17    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
18    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
19    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
20    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
21    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
22    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
23    employment for the first year in which they file employment
24    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
25    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
26    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,

 

 

HB5764- 410 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
2    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
3    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
4        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
5    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
6    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
7    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
8    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
9        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
10    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
11    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
12    carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
13    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
14    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
15    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest year
16    for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits
17    from more than one taxable year that are available to
18    offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
19    first.
20        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
21    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
22    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
23    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
24    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
25    determined in accordance with the determination of income
26    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704

13    and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
14    property which is placed in service by a Department of
15    Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
16    Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
17    property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
18    minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
19    subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
20    Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
21    time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois

23    Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
24    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
25    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would

HB5764- 412 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
2    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
3    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
4    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
5    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
6    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
7    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
8    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
9    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
10    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
11    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
12    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
13    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
14    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
15    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
16    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
17    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
18    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
19    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
20    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
21    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
22    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.

3            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
4        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
5        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
6        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
7        (h);
8            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
9        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
10            (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
11        Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
12        Section.
13        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
14    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
15    income tax purposes.
16        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
17    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
18    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
19    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
20    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
21    the date of such increase in basis.
22        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
23    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
24        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

2    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
3    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
4    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
5    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
6    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
7    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
8    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
9    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
10    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
11    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
12    basis of qualified property resulting from a
13    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
14    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
15    reduction.
16        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
17    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
18    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
19    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
20    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
21    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
22    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased

7    The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
8liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
9credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
10carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability in
11succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
12paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
13shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
14liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable year
15that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
16shall be applied first.

10multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
11Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
12allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
13base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
14rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
15    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
16subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
17because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
18and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

2first.
3    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
41986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
5Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
6subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
7shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
8recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
9imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
10reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
11taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
12year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

7the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
8the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
9first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
10first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
11there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
12year that is available to offset a liability, the earliest
13credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
14carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
15after December 31, 2003.

3credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
4with the determination of income and distributive share of
5income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the

8means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
9credit for increasing research activities which would be
10allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
11which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
12increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
13of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
14incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
15"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
16of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
17period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
18preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
19made.
20    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
21year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
22unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
23as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
24taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
25first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
26prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year

2    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
32 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
4year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
5given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
6remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
7applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
8liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
9credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
10following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
11that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
12than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
13credit is given was incurred.
14    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
15amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
16Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
17    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

1        (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
2    or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
3    credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)

5    eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
6    subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
7    eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
8    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
9    Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were

12    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
13    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
14    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
15    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
16    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
17    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
18    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
19    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
20    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
21    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
22    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
23    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
24    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
25    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
26    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with

1        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

16            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
17            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
18            with respect to such interest; or
19                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
20            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
21            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
22            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23            following:
24                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
25                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
26                to a person that is not a related member, and

 

 

HB5764- 436 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
2                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
3                person did not have as a principal purpose the
4                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
5                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
6                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
7                terms; or
8                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
9            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
10            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
11            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
12            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
13            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
14                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
15            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
16            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
17            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
18            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
19            to the application or use of an alternative method
20            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
21                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22            Director from making any other adjustment
23            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
24            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
25            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
26            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

 

 

HB5764- 437 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            and such regulations provide methods and standards
2            by which the Department will utilize its authority
3            under Section 404 of this Act;
4            (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
5        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
6        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
7        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
8        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
9        foreign person who would be a member of the same
10        unitary business group but for the fact that the
11        foreign person's business activity outside the United
12        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
13        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
14        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
15        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
16        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
17        from being included in the unitary business group
18        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
19        business income under different subsections of Section
20        304. The addition modification required by this
21        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
22        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
23        group for the same taxable year and received by the
24        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
25        business group (including amounts included in gross
26        income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal

 

 

HB5764- 438 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
2        Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
3        to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
4        expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
5        incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
6        apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
7        reduction to the addition modification required under
8        Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
9        subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
10        includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
11        related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,

22        income under different subsections of Section 304. The

13        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

9            with respect to such interest; or
10                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
12            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
13            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
14            following:
15                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
16                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
17                to a person that is not a related member, and
18                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19                interest expense between the taxpayer and the

23                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
24                terms; or
25                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
26            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest

 

 

HB5764- 465 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
2            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
3            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
4            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
5                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
8            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
9            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
10            to the application or use of an alternative method
11            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
12                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13            Director from making any other adjustment
14            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
15            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
16            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
17            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
18            and such regulations provide methods and standards
19            by which the Department will utilize its authority
20            under Section 404 of this Act;
21            (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
22        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
23        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

26        foreign person who would be a member of the same

 

 

HB5764- 466 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        unitary business group but for the fact that the
2        foreign person's business activity outside the United
3        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
4        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
5        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
6        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
7        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
8        from being included in the unitary business group
9        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10        business income under different subsections of Section
11        304. The addition modification required by this
12        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
14        group for the same taxable year and received by the
15        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
16        business group (including amounts included in gross
17        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
18        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
19        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
20        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
21        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
22        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
23        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
26        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

 

 

HB5764- 467 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

6        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
7        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
8        copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
9        similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
10        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
11        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
12        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
13        similar types of intangible assets.
14            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
15                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
16            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
18            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
19            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
20            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
21            to such item; or
22                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
25            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
26            following:

 

 

HB5764- 468 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                    (a) the person during the same taxable
2                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
3                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
4                not a related member, and
5                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6                intangible expense or cost between the
7                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
8                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
9                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
10                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
11                or
12                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
15            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
16            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
17            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
18            writing to the application or use of an alternative
19            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
20                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
21            Director from making any other adjustment
22            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
23            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
24            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
25            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
26            and such regulations provide methods and standards

1            by which the Department will utilize its authority
2            under Section 404 of this Act;
3            (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
4        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
5        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
6        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
7        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
8        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
9        business group but for the fact that the person is
10        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
11        included in the unitary business group because he or
12        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
13        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
14        addition modification required by this subparagraph
15        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
16        included in base income of the unitary group for the
17        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
18        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
19        (including amounts included in gross income under
20        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
21        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
22        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
23        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
24        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
25        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
26        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

5        real estate investment trust that is allowed to a real
6        estate investment trust under Section 857(b)(2)(B) of
7        the Internal Revenue Code for dividends paid;
8            (E-16) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
9        the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
10        determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this
11        Act;
12            (E-17) For taxable years ending on or after

2        was allowed in any taxable year to make a subtraction
3        modification under subparagraph (R), then an amount
4        equal to that subtraction modification.
5            The taxpayer is required to make the addition
6        modification under this subparagraph only once with
7        respect to any one piece of property;
8            (G-12) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
9        allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
10        interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11        indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
13        member of the same unitary business group but for the
14        fact that the foreign person's business activity
15        outside the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
16        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
17        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
18        who would be a member of the same unitary business
19        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
20        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
21        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
22        required to apportion business income under different
23        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
24        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
25        extent that dividends were included in base income of

4        through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
5        included in gross income under Section 78 of the
6        Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
7        same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
8        incurred.
9            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
10                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
12            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
13            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
14            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
15            with respect to such interest; or
16                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
19            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20            following:
21                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
22                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
23                to a person that is not a related member, and
24                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
26                person did not have as a principal purpose the

1                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
2                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
3                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
4                terms; or
5                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
6            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
7            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
8            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
9            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
10            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
11                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
15            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
16            to the application or use of an alternative method
17            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
18                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
19            Director from making any other adjustment
20            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
21            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
22            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
23            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
24            and such regulations provide methods and standards
25            by which the Department will utilize its authority
26            under Section 404 of this Act;

 

 

HB5764- 490 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
2        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
3        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
4        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
5        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
6        foreign person who would be a member of the same
7        unitary business group but for the fact that the
8        foreign person's business activity outside the United
9        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
10        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
11        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
12        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
13        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
14        from being included in the unitary business group
15        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
16        business income under different subsections of Section
17        304. The addition modification required by this
18        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
19        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
20        group for the same taxable year and received by the
21        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
22        business group (including amounts included in gross
23        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

HB5764- 491 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
2        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
3        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
4        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
5        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
6        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
7        "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
8        expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
9        direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
10        management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
11        disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
12        incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
13        transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
14        patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
15        fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
16        purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
17        includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
18        trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
19        trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
20            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
21                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
22            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
24            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
25            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
26            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect

1            to such item; or
2                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
3            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
5            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
6            following:
7                    (a) the person during the same taxable
8                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
9                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
10                not a related member, and
11                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
12                intangible expense or cost between the
13                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
14                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
15                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
16                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
17                or
18                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
19            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
21            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
22            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
23            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
24            writing to the application or use of an alternative
25            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
26                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

 

 

HB5764- 493 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            Director from making any other adjustment
2            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
3            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
4            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
5            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
6            and such regulations provide methods and standards
7            by which the Department will utilize its authority
8            under Section 404 of this Act;
9            (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
10        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
11        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
12        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
13        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
14        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
15        business group but for the fact that the person is
16        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
17        included in the unitary business group because he or
18        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
19        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
20        addition modification required by this subparagraph
21        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
22        included in base income of the unitary group for the
23        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
24        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
25        (including amounts included in gross income under

2        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
3        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
4        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
5        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
6        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
7        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
8        Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
9            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

12        that part of a reimbursement received from the
13        insurance company equal to the amount of the expense or
14        loss (including expenses incurred by the insurance
15        company) that would have been taken into account as a
16        deduction for federal income tax purposes if the

3        indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
4        December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a

9        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
10        who would be a member of the same unitary business
11        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
12        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
13        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
14        required to apportion business income under different
15        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
16        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
17        extent that dividends were included in base income of
18        the unitary group for the same taxable year and
19        received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

1            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
2                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
3            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
4            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
5            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
6            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
7            with respect to such interest; or
8                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
9            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
10            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
11            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
12            following:
13                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
14                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
15                to a person that is not a related member, and
16                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
18                person did not have as a principal purpose the
19                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
20                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
21                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
22                terms; or
23                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
24            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
25            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
26            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and

 

 

HB5764- 508 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
2            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
3                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
4            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
5            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
6            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
7            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
8            to the application or use of an alternative method
9            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
10                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
11            Director from making any other adjustment
12            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
13            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
14            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
15            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
16            and such regulations provide methods and standards
17            by which the Department will utilize its authority
18            under Section 404 of this Act; and
19            (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
20        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
21        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
22        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
23        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
24        foreign person who would be a member of the same
25        unitary business group but for the fact that the
26        foreign person's business activity outside the United

 

 

HB5764- 509 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
2        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
3        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
4        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
5        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
6        from being included in the unitary business group
7        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
8        business income under different subsections of Section
9        304. The addition modification required by this
10        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
11        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
12        group for the same taxable year and received by the
13        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
14        business group (including amounts included in gross
15        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
17        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
18        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
19        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
20        indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
21        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
22        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
23        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
24        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
25        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
26        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

 

 

HB5764- 510 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
2        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
3        intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
4        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
5        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
6        copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
7        similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
8        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
9        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
10        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
11        similar types of intangible assets;
12            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
13                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
14            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
16            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
17            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
18            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
19            to such item; or
20                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
21            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
22            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
23            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
24            following:
25                    (a) the person during the same taxable
26                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the

 

 

HB5764- 511 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
2                not a related member, and
3                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
4                intangible expense or cost between the
5                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
6                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
7                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
8                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
9                or
10                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
11            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
12            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
13            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
15            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
16            writing to the application or use of an alternative
17            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
18                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
19            Director from making any other adjustment
20            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
21            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
22            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
23            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
24            and such regulations provide methods and standards
25            by which the Department will utilize its authority
26            under Section 404 of this Act;

1            (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
2        31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
3        premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
4        deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
5        accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
6        person who would be a member of the same unitary
7        business group but for the fact that the person is
8        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
9        included in the unitary business group because he or
10        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
11        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
12        addition modification required by this subparagraph
13        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
14        included in base income of the unitary group for the
15        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
16        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
17        (including amounts included in gross income under
18        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
19        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
20        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
21        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
22        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
23        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
24        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
26        Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;

19        or by reason of the Constitution, treaties or statutes
20        of the United States; provided that, in the case of any

22        outside the United States is 80% or more of that
23        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
24        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
25        who would be a member of the same unitary business
26        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

 

 

HB5764- 520 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
2        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
3        required to apportion business income under different
4        subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the
5        addition modification required to be made for the same
6        taxable year under Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) for
7        intangible expenses and costs paid, accrued, or
8        incurred, directly or indirectly, to the same person.
9        This subparagraph (S) is exempt from Section 250; and
10            (T) For taxable years ending on or after December
11        31, 2011, in the case of a taxpayer who was required to
12        add back any insurance premiums under Section
13        203(d)(2)(D-9), such taxpayer may elect to subtract
14        that part of a reimbursement received from the
15        insurance company equal to the amount of the expense or
16        loss (including expenses incurred by the insurance
17        company) that would have been taken into account as a
18        deduction for federal income tax purposes if the
19        expense or loss had been uninsured. If a taxpayer makes
20        the election provided for by this subparagraph (T), the
21        insurer to which the premiums were paid must add back
22        to income the amount subtracted by the taxpayer
23        pursuant to this subparagraph (T). This subparagraph
24        (T) is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.

2    (2) and subsection (b)(3), for purposes of this Section and
3    Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted gross
4    income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall mean
5    the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
6    taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
7    purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
8    Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
9    zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
10    December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
11    taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
12    exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
13    year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
14    of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
15    for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to
16    December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in
17    excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
18    defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the
19    Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of
20    a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
21    trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
22    modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
23    (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
24    subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
25    trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
26    addition modification must be made under those

 

 

HB5764- 522 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
2    taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
3    applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
4    under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
5    (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
6    Revenue Code.
7        (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
8    subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
9    federal income tax purposes shall mean:
10            (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
11        of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
12        by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
13        insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
14        distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
15        accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
16        Internal Revenue Code;
17            (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
18        of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
19        imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,

1        by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
2        estate investment trust taxable income;
3            (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
4        corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
5        corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
6        for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
7        taxable income determined as if such corporation had
8        filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
9        for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
10        for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
11        purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
12        taxable income shall be determined as if the election
13        provided by Section 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
14        Code had been in effect for all such years;
15            (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
16        corporation or association, the taxable income of such
17        organization determined in accordance with the
18        provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
19        Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
20        against offsetting losses from patronage activities
21        against income from nonpatronage activities; except
22        that a cooperative corporation or association may make
23        an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
24        of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
25        event such election is made, such losses shall be
26        computed and carried over in a manner consistent with

 

 

HB5764- 524 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
2        apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
3        the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
4        for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
5        The election shall be effective for all taxable years
6        with original returns due on or after the date of the
7        election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
8        amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
9        to provide that the election shall be effective for
10        losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
11        occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
12        the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
13        Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
14        forth requirements for documenting the elections and
15        any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
16        used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
17        elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
18        existing law;
19            (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
20        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
21        an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
22        the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
23        corporation determined in accordance with Section
24        1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
25        taxable income shall take into account those items
26        which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the

 

 

HB5764- 525 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
2        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
3        a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
4        Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
5        instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
6        effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
7        corporation determined in accordance with the federal
8        Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
9            (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
10        taxable income determined in accordance with Section
11        703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
12        income shall take into account those items which are
13        required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
14        but which would be taken into account by an individual
15        in calculating his taxable income.
16        (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
17    asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
18    contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
19    business has been classified as business income and in a
20    later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
21    all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
22    year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
23    related to that asset or business that generated the
24    non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
25    business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
26    or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois

 

 

HB5764- 526 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
2    for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
3    taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
4    computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
5    the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
6    taxable years.
 
7    (f) Valuation limitation amount.
8        (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
9    referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
10    (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
11            (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
12        amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
13        under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
14        Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
15        which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
16            (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
17        1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
18        capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
19        gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
20        the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
21        taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
22        such gain included in the amount determined under
23        subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
24        (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
25            (A) If the fair market value of property referred

 

 

HB5764- 527 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
2        1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
3        such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
4        fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
5        determining gain) for such property on that date
6        (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
7        effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
8        and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
9        respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
10        such property.
11            (B) If the fair market value of property referred
12        to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
13        August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
14        amount for such property is that amount which bears the
15        same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
16        property for federal income tax purposes for the
17        taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
18        that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
19        property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
20        full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
21        period for the property.
22            (C) The Department shall prescribe such
23        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
24        purposes of this paragraph.
 
25    (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided

 

 

HB5764- 528 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
2to be deducted more than once.
 
3    (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
4this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
5the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
6account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
7taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
8year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
9computation of base income and net income under this Act for
10such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
11August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

22partners, shareholders, or members in accordance with the
23determination of income and distributive share of income under

10that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
11shall be applied first.
12    (c) No credit shall be allowed with respect to any

19revocation date, as stated in such notification. If any credit
20has been allowed with respect to a certification for a taxable
21year ending after the revocation date, any refund paid to the
22taxpayer for that taxable year shall, to the extent of that
23credit allowed, be an erroneous refund within the meaning of
24Section 912 of this Act.

17    Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
18    (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
19a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
20business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
21other than a resident derives business income from this State
22and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
23before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
24this Section, such person's business income shall be
25apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a

 

 

HB5764- 539 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
2factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
3sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
4reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
5which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
6sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
7or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
8this Section, persons other than residents who derive business
9income from this State and one or more other states shall
10compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
11property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
12(h) of this Section.
13    (1) Property factor.
14        (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
15    which is the average value of the person's real and
16    tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
17    trade or business in this State during the taxable year and
18    the denominator of which is the average value of all the
19    person's real and tangible personal property owned or
20    rented and used in the trade or business during the taxable
21    year.
22        (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
23    original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
24    times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
25    the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
26    rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.

 

 

HB5764- 540 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (C) The average value of property shall be determined
2    by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
3    taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
4    monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
5    required to reflect properly the average value of the
6    person's property.
7    (2) Payroll factor.
8        (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
9    which is the total amount paid in this State during the
10    taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
11    denominator of which is the total compensation paid
12    everywhere during the taxable year.
13        (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
14            (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
15        within this State;
16            (ii) The individual's service is performed both
17        within and without this State, but the service
18        performed without this State is incidental to the
19        individual's service performed within this State; or
20            (iii) For tax years ending prior to December 31,
21        2020, some of the service is performed within this
22        State and either the base of operations, or if there is
23        no base of operations, the place from which the service
24        is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
25        base of operations or the place from which the service
26        is directed or controlled is not in any state in which

 

 

HB5764- 541 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        some part of the service is performed, but the
2        individual's residence is in this State. For tax years
3        ending on or after December 31, 2020, compensation is
4        paid in this State if some of the individual's service
5        is performed within this State, the individual's
6        service performed within this State is nonincidental
7        to the individual's service performed without this
8        State, and the individual's service is performed
9        within this State for more than 30 working days during
10        the tax year. The amount of compensation paid in this
11        State shall include the portion of the individual's
12        total compensation for services performed on behalf of
13        his or her employer during the tax year which the
14        number of working days spent within this State during
15        the tax year bears to the total number of working days
16        spent both within and without this State during the tax
17        year. For purposes of this paragraph:
18                (a) The term "working day" means all days
19            during the tax year in which the individual
20            performs duties on behalf of his or her employer.
21            All days in which the individual performs no duties
22            on behalf of his or her employer (e.g., weekends,
23            vacation days, sick days, and holidays) are not
24            working days.
25                (b) A working day is spent within this State
26            if:

2                behalf of the employer and a greater amount of
3                time on that day is spent by the individual
4                performing duties on behalf of the employer
5                within this State, without regard to time spent
6                traveling, than is spent performing duties on
7                behalf of the employer without this State; or
8                    (2) the only service the individual
9                performs on behalf of the employer on that day
10                is traveling to a destination within this
11                State, and the individual arrives on that day.
12                (c) Working days spent within this State do not
13            include any day in which the employee is performing
14            services in this State during a disaster period
15            solely in response to a request made to his or her
16            employer by the government of this State, by any
17            political subdivision of this State, or by a person
18            conducting business in this State to perform

2                begins 10 days prior to the date of the
3                Governor's proclamation or the President's
4                declaration (whichever is earlier) and extends
5                for a period of 60 calendar days after the end
6                of the declared disaster or emergency period.
7                    "Disaster or emergency-related services"
8                means repairing, renovating, installing,
9                building, or rendering services or conducting
10                other business activities that relate to

21                support facilities. "Infrastructure" includes,
22                but is not limited to, real and personal
23                property such as buildings, offices, power

11        State during the taxable year.
12            (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
13        either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar

13            which they occur, including where a team's
14            official pre-season training period through the

16            scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one
17            tax year.
18                    (A) Duty days shall also include days on

13            such service that is included in the Illinois
14            numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
15            fees or other remuneration received from
16            recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
17            paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
18            of the recipients of its broadcast using the

8            the programming related to that broadcast
9            multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
10            that broadcast.
11                (iv) In the case where film or radio

19            Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
20            the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
21            Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
22            revenue from such customers who receive the
23            broadcasting service in Illinois.

1        of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
2        services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
3        trust may only be attributed to a state where that

5        business. If the state where the services are received
6        is not readily determinable or is a state where the
7        corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
8        service does not have a fixed place of business, the
9        services shall be deemed to be received at the location

12        trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
13        determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
14        at the office of the customer to which the services are
15        billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
16        which the services are received, the sale must be
17        excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
18        the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
19        prescribing where specific types of service are
20        received, including, but not limited to, publishing,

HB5764- 570 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
2    shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
3    construing this Section for taxable years ending before
4    December 31, 1995.
5        (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
6    ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
7    taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
8    paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
9    in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
10    be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
11    that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
12    tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
13    1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
14    of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to
15    the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
16    the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
17    (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
18    group, such election shall apply to all members of such
19    group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
20    shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
21    that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
22    (b) Insurance companies.
23        (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
24    paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
25    a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
26    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of

 

 

HB5764- 571 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
2    property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
3    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon

8    the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
9    Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
10    Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
11    may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
12        (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
13    written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
14    reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
15    company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
16    such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
17    sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
18    property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
19    for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
20    this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
21    (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
22    or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
23    reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
24    everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
25    written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
26    risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,

 

 

HB5764- 572 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
2    basis of the proportion which premiums written for
3    reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
4    in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
5    accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
6    proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
7    insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
8    ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
9    the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
10    ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
11    company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
12    ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
13    that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
14    taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
15    permission of the Department, which shall not be
16    unreasonably withheld.
17    (c) Financial organizations.
18        (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
19    December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
20    organization shall be apportioned to this State by
21    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
22    which is its business income from sources within this
23    State, and the denominator of which is its business income
24    from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
25    business income of a financial organization from sources
26    within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in

 

 

HB5764- 573 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
2    adjusted income of an international banking facility as
3    determined in paragraph (2):
4            (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
5        financial services rendered within this State;
6            (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
7        other securities managed within this State;
8            (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
9        customers, which are received within this State;
10            (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
11        business maintained within this State for carrying
12        debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
13        of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
14            (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
15        operation as a financial organization within this
16        State.
17        In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
18    through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
19    member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
20    1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference
21    to whether any such corporation is an "includible
22    corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue
23    Code) from another member of such group shall be included
24    only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
25    recipient directly related thereto.
26        (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years

 

 

HB5764- 574 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    ending before December 31, 2008:
2            (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
3        international banking facility is its income reduced
4        by the amount of the floor amount.
5            (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
6        amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
7        the international banking facility by a fraction, not
8        greater than one, which is determined as follows:
9                (i) The numerator shall be:
10                The average aggregate, determined on a
11            quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
12            loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
13            domiciled borrowers (except where secured
14            primarily by real estate) and to foreign
15            governments and other foreign official
16            institutions, as reported for its branches,
17            agencies and offices within the state on its
18            "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
19            Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
20            the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
21            other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
22            minus
23                The average aggregate, determined on a
24            quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
25            an international banking facility), as reported by
26            the financial institution for its branches,

 

 

HB5764- 575 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            agencies and offices within the state, on the
2            corresponding Schedule and lines of the
3            Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
4            taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
5            shall the amount determined in this clause (the
6            subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
7            preceding clause (the minuend); and
8                (ii) the denominator shall be the average
9            aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
10            international banking facility's loans to banks in
11            foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
12            (except where secured primarily by real estate)
13            and to foreign governments and other foreign
14            official institutions, which were recorded in its
15            financial accounts for the current taxable year.
16            (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
17        in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
18        of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
19        Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
20        is altered so that the information required for
21        determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
22        A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
23        shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
24        regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
25        use of an alternative source for such information. The
26        financial institution shall also notify the Department

 

 

HB5764- 576 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        should its international banking facility fail to
2        qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
3        be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
4        of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
5        amendment or change alters the information used in
6        determining the floor amount.
7        (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8    2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
9    be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
10    a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
11    from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
12    this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
13    its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
14    "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)
15    means gross income, including net taxable gain on
16    disposition of assets, including securities and money
17    market instruments, when derived from transactions and
18    activities in the regular course of the financial
19    organization's trade or business. The following examples
20    are illustrative:
21            (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
22        tangible personal property are in this State if the
23        property is located in this State during the rental
24        period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
25        personal property that is characteristically moving
26        property, including, but not limited to, motor

 

 

HB5764- 577 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
2        equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
3        that the property is used in this State.
4            (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
5        disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
6        nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
7        estate or tangible personal property are from sources
8        in this State if the security is located in this State.
9            (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
10        disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
11        that are not secured by real or tangible personal
12        property are from sources in this State if the debtor
13        is a resident of this State.
14            (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
15        disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
16        and installment obligations that are not secured by
17        real or tangible personal property are from sources in
18        this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
19        applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
20        the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
21        are from sources in this State if the office of the
22        borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
23        regular course of business is located in this State. If
24        the location of this office cannot be determined, the
25        income and receipts shall be excluded from the
26        numerator and denominator of the sales factor.

 

 

HB5764- 578 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
2        service charges, merchant discount income, and other
3        receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
4        in this State if the card charges are regularly billed
5        to a customer in this State.
6            (vi) Receipts from the performance of services,
7        including, but not limited to, fiduciary, advisory,
8        and brokerage services, are in this State if the
9        services are received in this State within the meaning
10        of subparagraph (a)(3)(C-5)(iv) of this Section.
11            (vii) Receipts from the issuance of travelers
12        checks and money orders are from sources in this State
13        if the checks and money orders are issued from a
14        location within this State.
15            (viii) Receipts from investment assets and
16        activities and trading assets and activities are
17        included in the receipts factor as follows:
18                (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
19            less than zero) and other income from investment
20            assets and activities from trading assets and
21            activities shall be included in the receipts
22            factor. Investment assets and activities and
23            trading assets and activities include, but are not
24            limited to: investment securities; trading account
25            assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
26            sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;

 

 

HB5764- 579 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
2            notional principal contracts such as swaps;
3            equities; and foreign currency transactions. With
4            respect to the investment and trading assets and
5            activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
6            of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
7            include the amounts described in such
8            subparagraphs.
9                    (A) The receipts factor shall include the
10                amount by which interest from federal funds
11                sold and securities purchased under resale
12                agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
13                funds purchased and securities sold under
14                repurchase agreements.
15                    (B) The receipts factor shall include the
16                amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
17                other income from trading assets and
18                activities, including, but not limited to,
19                assets and activities in the matched book, in
20                the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
21                transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
22                interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
23                and losses from such assets and activities.
24                (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
25            includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
26            less than zero), and other income from investment

 

 

HB5764- 580 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            assets and activities and from trading assets and
2            activities described in paragraph (1) of this
3            subsection that are attributable to this State.
4                    (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
5                gains (but not less than zero), and other
6                income from investment assets and activities
7                in the investment account to be attributed to
8                this State and included in the numerator is
9                determined by multiplying all such income from
10                such assets and activities by a fraction, the
11                numerator of which is the gross income from
12                such assets and activities which are properly
13                assigned to a fixed place of business of the
14                taxpayer within this State and the denominator
15                of which is the gross income from all such
16                assets and activities.
17                    (B) The amount of interest from federal
18                funds sold and purchased and from securities
19                purchased under resale agreements and
20                securities sold under repurchase agreements
21                attributable to this State and included in the
22                numerator is determined by multiplying the
23                amount described in subparagraph (A) of
24                paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
25                funds and such securities by a fraction, the
26                numerator of which is the gross income from

 

 

HB5764- 581 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                such funds and such securities which are
2                properly assigned to a fixed place of business
3                of the taxpayer within this State and the
4                denominator of which is the gross income from
5                all such funds and such securities.
6                    (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
7                gains, and other income from trading assets and
8                activities, including, but not limited to,
9                assets and activities in the matched book, in
10                the arbitrage book and foreign currency
11                transactions (but excluding amounts described
12                in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
13                attributable to this State and included in the
14                numerator is determined by multiplying the
15                amount described in subparagraph (B) of
16                paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
17                the numerator of which is the gross income from
18                such trading assets and activities which are
19                properly assigned to a fixed place of business
20                of the taxpayer within this State and the
21                denominator of which is the gross income from
22                all such assets and activities.
23                    (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
24                this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
25                the investment or trading asset or activity is
26                assigned to the fixed place of business with

 

 

HB5764- 582 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                which it has a preponderance of substantive
2                contacts. An investment or trading asset or
3                activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
4                place of business without the State shall be
5                presumed to have been properly assigned if:
6                        (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
7                    regular course of its business, such asset
8                    or activity on its records to a fixed place
9                    of business consistent with federal or
10                    state regulatory requirements;
11                        (ii) such assignment on its records is
12                    based upon substantive contacts of the
13                    asset or activity to such fixed place of
14                    business; and
15                        (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
16                    reflecting assignment of such assets or
17                    activities for the filing of all state and
18                    local tax returns for which an assignment
19                    of such assets or activities to a fixed
20                    place of business is required.
21                    (E) The presumption of proper assignment
22                of an investment or trading asset or activity
23                provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
24                of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
25                showing by the Department, supported by a
26                preponderance of the evidence, that the

 

 

HB5764- 583 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                preponderance of substantive contacts
2                regarding such asset or activity did not occur
3                at the fixed place of business to which it was
4                assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
5                fixed place of business that has a
6                preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
7                be determined for an investment or trading
8                asset or activity to which the presumption in
9                subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
10                subsection does not apply or with respect to
11                which that presumption has been rebutted, that
12                asset or activity is properly assigned to the
13                state in which the taxpayer's commercial
14                domicile is located. For purposes of this
15                subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
16                subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
17                commercial domicile is in the state of the
18                United States or the District of Columbia to
19                which the greatest number of employees are
20                regularly connected with the management of the
21                investment or trading income or out of which
22                they are working, irrespective of where the
23                services of such employees are performed, as of
24                the last day of the taxable year.

1    (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
2ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
3federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
4federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
5multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
6is its business income from sources within this State, and the
7denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
8For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
9this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
10following:
11        (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
12    a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
13    located in this State.
14        (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,
15    execution, or clearing transactions, including without
16    limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
17    execution, or clearing services to another entity,
18    multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
19    December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
20    (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
21    2013, 27.54%.
22        (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
23    (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
24    receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
25    under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
26    "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered

 

 

HB5764- 585 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
2or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
3meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
4entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
5the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
6same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
7determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
81501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
9group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
10business income under different subsections of this Section;
11provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
12more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
13determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
14taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or
15clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
16subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
17    In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
18computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
19taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
20apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
21for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
22after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
23to the taxpayer.
24    (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
25before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
26furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to

 

 

HB5764- 586 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
2        (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
3    transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
4    State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
5    numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
6    this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
7    miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
8    paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
9    passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
10    for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
11    transportation of both passengers and freight, the
12    fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
13    an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
14    freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
15    person's
16            (A) relative railway operating income from total
17        passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
18        Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
19        transportation by railroad, and
20            (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
21        freight transportation, in case of transportation
22        other than by railroad.
23        (2) Such business income derived from transportation
24    by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
25    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
26    which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and

 

 

HB5764- 587 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
2    everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
3    mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
4    1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
5    any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
6    consideration.
7        (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8    2008, business income derived from providing
9    transportation services other than airline services shall
10    be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
11    numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
12    movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
13    any other substance (other than by airline) that both
14    originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
15    portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
16    shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
17    substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
18    state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
19    jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
20    miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
21    everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
22    revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
23    goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
24    by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
25    transportation of both passengers and freight, the
26    fraction above referred to shall first be determined

 

 

HB5764- 588 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
2    average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
3    miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
4            (A) relative railway operating income from total
5        passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
6        Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
7        transportation by railroad; and
8            (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
9        freight transportation, in case of transportation
10        other than by railroad.
11        (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
12    2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
13    transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
14    by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
15    which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
16    the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
17    everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
18    is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
19    freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
20    person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
21    and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
22    determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
23    mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
24    weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
25    from passenger and freight airline transportation.
26    (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are

 

 

HB5764- 589 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
2(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
3State by one or more members of the group, the business income
4attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
5be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
6    (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
7apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of

4        (2) payments described in subsection (b) shall deduct
5    and withhold from such compensation for each payroll period
6    (as defined in Section 3401 of the Internal Revenue Code)
7    an amount equal to the amount by which such individual's
8    compensation exceeds the proportionate part of this
9    withholding exemption (computed as provided in Section

9    knowledge of fraud or gross negligence by the employee in
10    making the determination or collusion between the employer
11    and the employee to evade tax, the certification so made by
12    the employee and maintained in the employer's books and
13    records shall be prima facie evidence and constitute a
14    rebuttable presumption of the number of days spent
15    performing services in this State.
16    (b) Payment to Residents. Any payment (including
17compensation, but not including a payment from which
18withholding is required under Section 710 of this Act) to a
19resident by a payor maintaining an office or transacting
20business within this State (including any agency, officer, or

3shall be withheld from unemployment insurance benefit payments
4made to an individual pursuant to the Unemployment Insurance
5Act unless the individual has voluntarily elected the

9required under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to
10the extent the Internal Revenue Code either requires
11withholding or allows for voluntary withholding the payor and
12recipient have entered into such a voluntary withholding
13agreement. For the purposes of Article 7 and Section 1002(c)
14the term "employer" includes any payor who is required to
15withhold tax pursuant to this Section.
16    (d) Reciprocal Exemption. The Director may enter into an
17agreement with the taxing authorities of any state which
18imposes a tax on or measured by income to provide that
19compensation paid in such state to residents of this State
20shall be exempt from withholding of such tax; in such case, any
21compensation paid in this State to residents of such state
22shall be exempt from withholding. All reciprocal agreements
23shall be subject to the requirements of Section 2505-575 of the
24Department of Revenue Law (20 ILCS 2505/2505-575).
25    (e) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(2) of this Section, no

18shall be equal to the rate set forth in the proposition
19approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the
20proposition, after which the limiting rate of the taxing
21district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case
22of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an
23increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate
24for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the

2connection with its duties under subsection (3) of Section
318c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be
4used by the Department of Transportation upon order of the

6apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the
7interest of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets,
8or pedestrian walkways in the county highway system, township
9and district road system, or municipal street system as defined
10in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time
11be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,

14or improvement of any existing highway necessary for access to
15property or improvement of any grade crossing and grade
16crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches

19maintenance of a pedestrian walkway over or under a railroad
20right-of-way, as provided for in and in accordance with Section
2118c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The Commission may order
22up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund

3which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
4made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
5by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
6purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
7the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in
8which the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the
9cost of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
10actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection, the
11Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year

1    over which the municipality assumed the powers and
2    responsibilities compared to the total area of the
3    dissolved township. The moneys received under this
4    subparagraph shall be used in the geographic area of the
5    dissolved township. If a township is reconstituted as
6    provided under Section 24-45 of the Township Code, McHenry
7    County or a municipality shall no longer be distributed
8    moneys under this subparagraph.
9    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
10Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
11its share of the amount apportioned to the several
12municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
13of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding

15Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
16subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
17corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
18to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
19ascertained for such territory shall be added to the population
20of the municipality as determined by the last preceding census
21for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
22municipality. If the population of any municipality was not
23determined by the last Federal census preceding any
24apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
25in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
26municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be

 

 

HB5764- 663 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
2such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject to
3approval of the Department which may make such corrections as
4it ascertains to be necessary.
5    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
6Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
7share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
8State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
9counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
10proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
11from the residents of such counties, respectively, during the
12preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
13before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
14Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of
15motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each
16county, respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The
17Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
18allotment purposes the last such report received from the
19Secretary of State.
20    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
21Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
22counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
23road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
24several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
25mileage of township or district roads in the respective
26counties bears to the total mileage of all township and

 

 

HB5764- 664 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
2counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
3allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
4proportion which the total mileage of such township or district
5roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
6mileage of all such township or district roads in the county.
7After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be
8made for any road district unless it levied a tax for road and
9bridge purposes in an amount which will require the extension
10of such tax against the taxable property in any such road
11district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
12thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
13prior to the year in which such tax was levied and as equalized
14by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
15equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
16jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning
17July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be
18made for any road district if it levied a tax for road and
19bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the
20amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax
21against the taxable property in the road district at a rate
22that is less than 0.08% of the value thereof, based upon the
23assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
24the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
25Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road
26district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal

 

 

HB5764- 665 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the
2district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax
3levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable
4property in the road district at a rate that is less than the
5lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of the taxable property in the
6road district, based upon the assessment for the year
7immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
8as equalized by the Department of Revenue, or (ii) a rate that
9will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
10the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the
11allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the
12maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing
13the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or
14(ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per
15mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district.
16    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
17tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
186-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
19an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
20than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
21equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
22DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
23mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
24whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper
25compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
26district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning in 2011

 

 

HB5764- 666 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1and thereafter, if any road district has levied a special tax
2for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the
3Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in an amount that
4would require extension at a rate of not less than 0.08% of the
5value of the taxable property of that road district, as
6equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in
7DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
8mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
9whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper
10compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
11district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under
12this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than
130.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
14County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
15of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
16jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
17special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
18purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
19district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under
20this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or
21less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any
22allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other
23levy for road and bridge purposes.
24    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
25and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
26tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax

 

 

HB5764- 667 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
2DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
3mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
4whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
5levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and
6shall qualify the road district for an allotment under this
7Section.
8    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
9imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
10districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
11allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full
12allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation
13was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
14tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax
15allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
16after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
17Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
18entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
192011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
20and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
21the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
22rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
23property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
24preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
25by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
26equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the

 

 

HB5764- 668 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
2    As used in this Section, the term "road district" means any
3road district, including a county unit road district, provided
4for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
5district road" means any road in the township and district road
6system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
7purposes of this Section, "township or district road" also
8includes such roads as are maintained by park districts, forest
9preserve districts and conservation districts. The Department
10of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
11and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and
12allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
13    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
14counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
15is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
16these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
17by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the
18principal funds.

11    This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a participant's
12earnings to the extent an employer pays the employer normal
13cost of such earnings.
14    The changes made to this subsection (j-5) by Public Act
15100-624 are intended to apply retroactively to July 6, 2017

22the positions submitted to those positions recognized for State
23universities by the State Universities Civil Service System.
24The Illinois Community College Board shall file a copy of its
25findings with the System. The System shall consider the
26findings of the Illinois Community College Board when making

 

 

HB5764- 689 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1determinations under this Section. The System shall not exclude
2any earnings increases resulting from a promotion when the
3promotion was not submitted by a community college. Nothing in
4this subsection (k) shall require any community college to
5submit any information to the Community College Board.

7contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
8shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
9which shall be calculated as follows:
10    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
11assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
12that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
13assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
14gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
15year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
165-year period following that fiscal year.
17    (m) For purposes of determining the required State
18contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
19value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
20to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

15contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
16fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
17sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
18the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
19State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
20required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
21level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
22including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
23projected unit credit actuarial cost method.

2the election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161.
3    A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
4increases or decreases the required State contribution and
5first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
6implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
7beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
8change first applies to the required State contribution.
9    A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
10increases or decreases the required State contribution and
11first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
122015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:
13        (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
14    2018; and
15        (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
16    the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
17    applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or
18    thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
19    amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it at
20    the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
21    years in that 5-year period.
22    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
23contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
24employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
25so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
26the rate required under this Section; except that in the

 

 

HB5764- 696 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution
2to the System shall not be less than the following indicated

18contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
19employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
20from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
212007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
22contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.

1the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
2Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
3constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
4contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
5Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
6calculation of, the required State contributions under this
7Article in any future year until the System has reached a
8funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to

14fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
15under this Section and certified under subsection (a-1), shall
16not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
17State contribution that would have been calculated under this
18Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
19payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General

237.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
24the same as the System's portion of the total moneys

HB5764- 699 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
2in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
3applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
4from the sum of the required State contribution for State
5fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
6total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
7issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
8the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
92011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
10under this Section.
11    (b-4) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
12this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
13determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
14to produce an annual amount equal to:
15        (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
16    defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
17    less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
18    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
19    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
20    election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
21    year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
22    benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
23    employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
24    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
25    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the

HB5764- 700 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
2    amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
3    associated with the present value of liabilities
4    attributable to the employer's account under Section
5    16-158.3, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
6    a 30-year rolling amortization period.
7    In determining contributions required under item (i) of
8this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
9for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
10payroll.
11    In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
12of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
13on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
14the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
15available at the time of the computation.
16    The contributions required under this subsection (b-4)
17shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
18payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
19employee, shall make the required contributions under this
20subsection.
21    (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
22pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
23other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
24expenses in connection with the administration and operation
25thereof, are obligations of the State.
26    If members are paid from special trust or federal funds

 

 

HB5764- 701 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
2district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
3System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
4upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall be at a
5rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the total
6employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
7as determined by the System. Employer contributions, based on
8salary paid to members from federal funds, may be forwarded by
9the distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
10prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with
11guidelines established by such agency and the System. Any
12contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a result of the
13change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be considered a State
14contribution under subsection (b-3) of this Section.
15    (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
16defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
17employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
18service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
19by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
20monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
21System.
22    However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
2316-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
24of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
25(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
26for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer

 

 

HB5764- 702 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
2the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
316-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
416-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
5absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
6considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
7is on leave.
8    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
9shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
10follows:
11        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
12    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
13    teacher's salary.
14        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
15    contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
16    salary.
17The school district or other employing unit may pay these
18employer contributions out of any source of funding available
19for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
20System on the schedule established for the payment of member
21contributions.
22    These employer contributions are intended to offset a
23portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
24retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
25    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
26the contributions required under this subsection (e) with

 

 

HB5764- 703 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
22002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
3employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
4Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
5paid to teachers for that period.
6    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
7Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 is the responsibility of
8the teacher and not the teacher's employer, unless the employer
9agrees, through collective bargaining or otherwise, to make the
10contribution on behalf of the teacher.
11    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
121, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
13pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
14Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
15this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
16the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
17for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
18the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
19the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
20the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
21termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
22after May 1, 1998.
23    (f) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a
24teacher's salary for any school year used to determine final
25average salary exceeds the member's annual full-time salary
26rate with the same employer for the previous school year by

 

 

HB5764- 704 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1more than 6%, the teacher's employer shall pay to the System,
2in addition to all other payments required under this Section
3and in accordance with guidelines established by the System,
4the present value of the increase in benefits resulting from
5the portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of 6%.
6This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
7of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
8actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
9of the computation. If a teacher's salary for the 2005-2006

9the amount due.
10    The employer contributions required under this subsection
11(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
12receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
13within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be

10    (i-5) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2017,
11if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year
12exceeds the amount of the salary set for the Governor, the
13participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
14all other payments required under this Section and in
15accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
16determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
17cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
18percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of salary in
19excess of the amount of the salary set for the Governor. This
20amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
21actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
22actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
23of the computation. The System may require the employer to
24provide any pertinent information or documentation.
25    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required

21which shall be calculated as follows:
22    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
23assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of

1entitled to upon attainment of the applicable retirement age.
2"Pension benefit" also includes applicable survivor's or
3disability benefits.
4    (b) As soon as practical after June 4, 2018 (the effective
5date of Public Act 100-587), the System shall calculate, using
6actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board,
7the present value of pension benefits for each eligible person
8who requests that information and shall offer each eligible
9person the opportunity to irrevocably elect to receive an
10amount determined by the System to be equal to 60% of the
11present value of his or her pension benefits in lieu of
12receiving any pension benefit. The offer shall specify the
13dollar amount that the eligible person will receive if he or
14she so elects and shall expire when a subsequent offer is made
15to an eligible person. The System shall make a good faith
16effort to contact every eligible person to notify him or her of
17the election.
18    Until June 30, 2024, an eligible person may irrevocably
19elect to receive an accelerated pension benefit payment in the
20amount that the System offers under this subsection in lieu of
21receiving any pension benefit. A person who elects to receive

24Act with respect to service under this Article.
25    (c) A person's creditable service under this Article shall
26be terminated upon the person's receipt of an accelerated

 

 

HB5764- 712 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1pension benefit payment under this Section, and no other

3terminated creditable service, including any retirement,
4survivor, or other benefit; except that to the extent that
5participation, benefits, or premiums under the State Employees
6Group Insurance Act of 1971 are based on the amount of service
7credit, the terminated service credit shall be used for that
8purpose.
9    (d) If a person who has received an accelerated pension
10benefit payment under this Section returns to active service
11under this Article, then:
12        (1) Any benefits under the System earned as a result of

16        (2) The accelerated pension benefit payment may not be
17    repaid to the System, and the terminated creditable service
18    may not under any circumstances be reinstated.
19    (e) As a condition of receiving an accelerated pension
20benefit payment, the accelerated pension benefit payment must
21be transferred into a tax qualified retirement plan or account.
22The accelerated pension benefit payment under this Section may
23be subject to withholding or payment of applicable taxes, but
24to the extent permitted by federal law, a person who receives
25an accelerated pension benefit payment under this Section must
26direct the System to pay all of that payment as a rollover into

 

 

HB5764- 713 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1another retirement plan or account qualified under the Internal
2Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
3    (f) Upon receipt of a member's irrevocable election to

10into the member's eligible retirement plan or qualified
11account.
12    (g) The Board shall adopt any rules, including emergency
13rules, necessary to implement this Section.
14    (h) No provision of Public Act 100-587 this amendatory Act
15of the 100th General Assembly shall be interpreted in a way
16that would cause the applicable System to cease to be a
17qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

20    (40 ILCS 5/16-203)
21    Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
22increases.
23    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
24an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
25Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for

 

 

HB5764- 714 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
2to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
3effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
4however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
5the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
695-910, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
7100-743, or Public Act 100-769, Public Act 101-10, or Public
8Act 101-49 or this amendatory Act of the 101st General
9Assembly.
10    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
11subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
12is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
13only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
14the provisions of this Section.
15    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
16identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
17funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
18increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
19    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
20Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
21subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
22Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
23funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
24shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
25Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
26Public Act that does not include the additional funding

 

 

HB5764- 715 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
2Pension Division determines that the additional funding
3provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
4has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
5the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
6by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
7at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
8made.
9    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
10its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
11in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
12under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
13Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
14by law.
15    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
16the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
17under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
18and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
19increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
20alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
21other person, including, without limitation, a person who
22continues in service after the expiration date and did not
23apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
24benefit increase was in effect.

3    Section 220. The Local Government Antitrust Exemption Act
4is amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
 
5    (50 ILCS 35/1)  (from Ch. 85, par. 2901)
6    Sec. 1. (a) The General Assembly declares that it is in the
7interest of the people of Illinois that decisions regarding
8provision of local services and regulation of local activities
9should be made at the local level where possible, to the extent
10authorized by the General Assembly or the Illinois
11Constitution. It is and has long been the policy of the State
12that such decisions be made by local government units as
13authorized by State statute and the Illinois Constitution. The
14General Assembly intends that actions permitted, either
15expressly or by necessary implication, by State statute or the
16Illinois Constitution be considered affirmatively authorized
17for subsidiary units of government.
18    Inasmuch as the grant of home rule home-rule authority in
19the Illinois Constitution, Article VII, Section 6 was
20intentionally made broad so as to avoid unduly restricting its
21exercise, the scope of the home rule home-rule powers cannot be
22precisely described. The General Assembly intends that all
23actions which are either (1) granted to home rule home-rule
24units, whether expressly or by necessary implication or (2)

 

 

HB5764- 717 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1within traditional areas of local government activity, except
2as limited by the Illinois Constitution or a proper limiting
3statute, be considered affirmatively authorized for home rule
4home-rule units of government.
5    The General Assembly intends that the "State action
6exemption" to application of the federal antitrust laws be
7fully available to local governments to the extent their
8activities are either (1) expressly or by necessary implication
9authorized by Illinois law or (2) within traditional areas of
10local governmental activity.
11    The "State action exemption" for which provision is made by
12this Section shall be liberally construed in favor of local
13governments, the agents, employees and officers thereof and
14such exemption shall be available notwithstanding that the
15action of the municipality or its agents, officers or employees
16constitutes an irregular exercise of constitutional or
17statutory powers. However, this exemption shall not apply where
18the action alleged to be in violation of antitrust law exceeds
19either (1) powers granted, either expressly or by necessary
20implication, by Illinois statute or the Illinois Constitution
21or (2) powers granted to a home rule municipality to perform
22any function pertaining to its government and affairs or to act
23within traditional areas of municipal activity, except as
24limited by the Illinois Constitution or a proper limiting
25statute.
26    (b) It is the policy of this State that all powers granted,

 

 

HB5764- 718 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1either expressly or by necessary implication by any Illinois
2statute or by the Illinois Constitution to any Library
3District, its officers, employees and agents may be exercised
4by any such Library District, its officers, agents and
5employees notwithstanding effects on competition. It is the
6intention of the General Assembly that the "State action
7exemption" to the application of federal antitrust statutes be
8fully available to any such Library District, its officers,
9agents and employees to the extent they are exercising
10authority pursuant to law.
11    (c) It is the policy of this State that all powers granted,
12either expressly or by necessary implication by any Illinois
13statute or by the Illinois Constitution to any Sanitary
14District, its officers, employees and agents may be exercised
15by any Sanitary District, its officers, agents and employees
16notwithstanding effects on competition. It is the intention of
17the General Assembly that the "State action exemption" to the
18application of federal antitrust statutes be fully available to
19any such Sanitary District, its officers, agents and employees
20to the extent they are exercising authority pursuant to law.
21    (d) It is the policy of this State that all powers granted,
22either expressly or by necessary implication by any Illinois
23statute or by the Illinois Constitution to any Park District
24and its officers, employees and agents may be exercised by any
25such Park District, its officers, agents and employees
26notwithstanding effects on competition. It is the intention of

 

 

HB5764- 719 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the General Assembly that the "State action exemption" to the
2application of federal antitrust statutes be fully available to
3any such Park District, its officers, agents and employees to
4the extent they are exercising authority pursuant to law.
5    (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, where it is alleged that
6a violation of the antitrust laws has occurred, the relief
7available to the plaintiffs shall be limited to an injunction
8which enjoins the alleged activity.
9    (f) Nothing in this Section is intended to prohibit or
10limit any cause of action other than under an antitrust theory.

1department.
2    (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
3provisions of Section 10-1-7.2, this Section shall apply to all
4original appointments to an affected full-time fire
5department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
6be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
7years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
897-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
9    Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
10to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
11department to which this Section applies shall be administered
12in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
13Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
14adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
15initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
16continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
17Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
18and any other law, this Section shall control.
19    A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
20administer its fire department process for original
21appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
22Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
23Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
24concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
25functions exercised by the State.
26    A municipality that is operating under a court order or

 

 

HB5764- 743 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
2fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
3Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
4Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for
5the duration of the court order or consent decree.
6    Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
7(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
8than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
9    (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
10to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
11eligibles established in accordance with the processes
12established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
13the performance standards required by this Section shall be
14placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
15an affected fire department.
16    Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
17a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
18firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
19or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
20granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
21cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
22the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
23list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
24the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
25for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
26alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the

 

 

HB5764- 744 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
2over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
3person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
4eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
5ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
6who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
7is less than 5 people.
8    Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
9losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
10candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
11by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
12prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
13examinations, including an examination held during the time a
14candidate is already on the municipality's register of
15eligibles.
16    The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
17shall be vested in the Civil Service Commission. All
18certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member of
19an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson and
20secretary, respectively, of the commission upon appointment of
21such officer or member to the affected department by the
22commission. After being selected from the register of eligibles
23to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
24shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
25on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
26of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a

 

 

HB5764- 745 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
2provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
3written request to the chairperson of the Civil Service
4Commission. Each person who accepts a certificate of
5appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
6period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
7member of the fire department.
8    For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
9person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
10effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the

18department or fire protection district who are not routinely
19expected to perform firefighter duties; and elected officials.
20    (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
21The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
22identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
23aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
24members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
25quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants

HB5764- 746 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
2competitive, and open to all applicants unless the municipality
3shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
4municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is
5located, State, or nation. Any examination and testing
6procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall
7be supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall
8comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
9Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
10service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
11participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
12Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
13application process.
14    Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
15enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
16restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
17service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
18promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
19for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
20of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
21Fire Department Promotion Act.

HB5764- 747 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1limitation does not apply to:
2        (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
3    firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
4    (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
5    Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
6    obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
7    of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
8    municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
9    protection district,
10        (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
11    regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time

2appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
3period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
4which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
5leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
6days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
7the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
8for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
9employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
10sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
11hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
12licensure.
13    In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
14for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
15eligibility register provided for in this Division 1 has not
16been appointed to a firefighter position within one year after
17the date of his or her physical ability examination, the

23be appointed. The applicant's name may be retained upon the
24register of candidates eligible for appointment and when next

1ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
2standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant

13municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
14examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
15    The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
16firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
17ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
18aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
19determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
20final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
21subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by

13functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
14called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
15frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
16department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
17in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
18for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
19competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
20each applicant's physical abilities in the following
21dimensions:

15approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
16of the State Fire Marshal.

18Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
19and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable

18register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
19before any applicable preference points or subjective points
20are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
21commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
22score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
23register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
24score set by the commission.
25    The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons

14who are eligible for preference credit shall make a claim in
15writing within 10 days after the posting of the initial
16eligibility list, or the claim shall be deemed waived. Final
17eligibility registers shall be established after the awarding

19credit earned subsequent to the establishment of the final
20eligibility register may be applied to the applicant's score
21upon certification by the Joint Apprenticeship Committee to the
22commission and the rank order of candidates on the final

23    (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
24provisions of Section 10-2.1-6.4, this Section shall apply to

 

 

HB5764- 762 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
2department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
3be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
4years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
597-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
6    Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
7to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
8department to which this Section applies shall be administered
9in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
10Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
11adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
12initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
13continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
14Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
15and any other law, this Section shall control.
16    A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
17administer its fire department process for original
18appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
19Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
20Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
21concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
22functions exercised by the State.
23    A municipality that is operating under a court order or
24consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
25fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
26Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General

3    Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
4(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
5than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
6    (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
7to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
8eligibles established in accordance with the processes
9established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
10the performance standards required by this Section shall be
11placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
12an affected fire department.
13    Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
14a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
15firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
16or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
17granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
18cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
19the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
20list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
21the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
22for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
23alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
24department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
25over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
26person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of

 

 

HB5764- 764 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
3who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
4is less than 5 people.

6losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
7candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
8by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
9prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
10examinations, including an examination held during the time a
11candidate is already on the municipality's register of
12eligibles.
13    The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
14shall be vested in the board of fire and police commissioners.
15All certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member
16of an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson
17and secretary, respectively, of the board upon appointment of
18such officer or member to the affected department by action of
19the board. After being selected from the register of eligibles
20to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
21shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
22on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
23of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a
24certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
25provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
26written request to the chairperson of the board of fire and

 

 

HB5764- 765 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1police commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of
2appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
3period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
4member of the fire department.
5    For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any

18The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
19identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
20aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
21members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
22quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants

HB5764- 766 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is
2located, State, or nation. Any examination and testing

6Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
7service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
8participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
9Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
10application process.
11    Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual

17of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
18Fire Department Promotion Act.
19    No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible

25        (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
26    firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of

 

 

HB5764- 767 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
2    Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
3    obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
4    of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
5    municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
6    protection district,
7        (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
8    regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time

17    military, and is currently under the age of 40.
18    No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
19for employment as a firefighter.
20    No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
21political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
22examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the

24    No municipality shall require that any firefighter
25appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
26period of longer than one year of actual active employment,

1which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
2leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
3days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
4the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
5for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
6employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
7sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
8hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
9licensure.
10    In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
11for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
12eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
13appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the
14date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission
15may cause a second examination to be made of that applicant's
16physical ability prior to his or her appointment. If, after the
17second examination, the physical ability of the applicant shall
18be found to be less than the minimum standard fixed by the
19rules of the commission, the applicant shall not be appointed.
20The applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
21candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
22certification and appointment that applicant may be again
23examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
24ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
25standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
26shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be

10municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
11examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
12    The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
13firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
14ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
15aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall

5    (f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
6undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
7essential functions included in the duties they may be called
8upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
9purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
10functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
11called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
12frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
13department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
14in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
15for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
16competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
17each applicant's physical abilities in the following
18dimensions:

12approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
13of the State Fire Marshal.
14    Physical ability examinations administered under this
15Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
16and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
17regulations of the commission.

19authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
20person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
21passage of the written examination or the passage of the

15register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
16before any applicable preference points or subjective points
17are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score as set by
18the commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe
19the score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
20register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
21score set by the commission.
22    The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons
23whose total score is not less than the minimum score for

18    amount of preference points under this subsection if the
19    amount of points awarded would place the candidate before a
20    veteran on the eligibility list. If more than one candidate
21    receiving experience preference points is prevented from
22    receiving all of their points due to not being allowed to
23    pass a veteran, the candidates shall be placed on the list
24    below the veteran in rank order based on the totals
25    received if all points under this subsection were to be

4    the final grades achieved by the applicant on the other
5    components of the examination.
6        (8) Scoring of preferences. The commission may give

18    preference points, the commission shall prescribe that if a
19    candidate earns the maximum number of preference points in
20    all categories except item (7.5), that number may not be
21    less than 10 nor more than 30. The commission shall give
22    preference for original appointment to persons designated
23    in items (2) through (7) by adding the requisite number of

1Enterprise Zone Act. A municipality, at the time a
2redevelopment project area is designated, may adopt tax
3increment allocation financing by passing an ordinance
4providing that the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the
5levies upon taxable real property in such redevelopment project
6area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner
7provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 each year after
8the effective date of the ordinance until redevelopment project
9costs and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
10project costs incurred under this Division have been paid shall
11be divided as follows, provided, however, that with respect to
12any redevelopment project area located within a transit
13facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
1411-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or
15more, ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon
16taxable real property in such redevelopment project area shall
17be allocated as specifically provided in this Section:
18        (a) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot,
19    block, tract, or parcel of real property which is
20    attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
21    value or the initial equalized assessed value of each such
22    taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in

1    increment allocation financing.
2        (b) Except from a tax levied by a township to retire
3    bonds issued to satisfy court-ordered damages, that
4    portion, if any, of such taxes which is attributable to the
5    increase in the current equalized assessed valuation of
6    each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
7    in the redevelopment project area over and above the
8    initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
9    project area shall be allocated to and when collected shall
10    be paid to the municipal treasurer who shall deposit said
11    taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
12    fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
13    redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
14    the payment thereof. In any county with a population of
15    3,000,000 or more that has adopted a procedure for
16    collecting taxes that provides for one or more of the
17    installments of the taxes to be billed and collected on an
18    estimated basis, the municipal treasurer shall be paid for
19    deposit in the special tax allocation fund of the
20    municipality, from the taxes collected from estimated
21    bills issued for property in the redevelopment project
22    area, the difference between the amount actually collected
23    from each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real
24    property within the redevelopment project area and an
25    amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes
26    were last extended against the taxable lot, block, tract

2    subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 by the initial
3    equalized assessed value of the property divided by the
4    number of installments in which real estate taxes are
5    billed and collected within the county; provided that the
6    payments on or before December 31, 1999 to a municipal
7    treasurer shall be made only if each of the following
8    conditions are met:
9            (1) The total equalized assessed value of the
10        redevelopment project area as last determined was not
11        less than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed
12        value.
13            (2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized
14        assessed value of the redevelopment project area as
15        last determined is attributable to a piece of property
16        assigned a single real estate index number.
17            (3) The municipal clerk has certified to the county
18        clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations
19        to which there has been pledged the incremental
20        property taxes of the redevelopment project area or
21        taxes levied and collected on any or all property in
22        the municipality or the full faith and credit of the
23        municipality to pay or secure payment for all or a
24        portion of the redevelopment project costs. The
25        certification shall be filed annually no later than
26        September 1 for the estimated taxes to be distributed

 

 

HB5764- 785 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        in the following year; however, for the year 1992 the
2        certification shall be made at any time on or before
3        March 31, 1992.
4            (4) The municipality has not requested that the
5        total initial equalized assessed value of real
6        property be adjusted as provided in subsection (b) of
7        Section 11-74.4-9.
8        The conditions of paragraphs (1) through (4) do not
9    apply after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal
10    treasurer made by a county with 3,000,000 or more
11    inhabitants that has adopted an estimated billing
12    procedure for collecting taxes. If a county that has
13    adopted the estimated billing procedure makes an erroneous
14    overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal treasurer, then
15    the county may seek a refund of that overpayment. The
16    county shall send the municipal treasurer a notice of
17    liability for the overpayment on or before the mailing date
18    of the next real estate tax bill within the county. The
19    refund shall be limited to the amount of the overpayment.
20        It is the intent of this Division that after July 29,
21    1988 (the effective date of Public Act 85-1142) this
22    amendatory Act of 1988 a municipality's own ad valorem tax
23    arising from levies on taxable real property be included in
24    the determination of incremental revenue in the manner
25    provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the
26    municipality does not extend such a tax, it shall annually

 

 

HB5764- 786 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    deposit in the municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund an
2    amount equal to 10% of the total contributions to the fund
3    from all other taxing districts in that year. The annual
4    10% deposit required by this paragraph shall be limited to
5    the actual amount of municipally produced incremental tax
6    revenues available to the municipality from taxpayers
7    located in the redevelopment project area in that year if:
8    (a) the plan for the area restricts the use of the property
9    primarily to industrial purposes, (b) the municipality
10    establishing the redevelopment project area is a home rule
11    home-rule community with a 1990 population of between
12    25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality is wholly located
13    within a county with a 1990 population of over 750,000 and
14    (d) the redevelopment project area was established by the
15    municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This payment shall be
16    in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes on real
17    property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment
18    project area of the municipality shall be dissolved.
19        If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
20    financing by ordinance and the County Clerk thereafter
21    certifies the "total initial equalized assessed value as
22    adjusted" of the taxable real property within such
23    redevelopment project area in the manner provided in
24    paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the
25    date of the certification of the total initial equalized

4    real property in such redevelopment project area by taxing
5    districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided
6    in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided as
7    follows, provided, however, that with respect to any
8    redevelopment project area located within a transit
9    facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
10    11-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a population of
11    1,000,000 or more, ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from
12    the levies upon the taxable real property in such
13    redevelopment project area shall be allocated as
14    specifically provided in this Section:
15            (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
16        taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
17        which is attributable to the lower of the current
18        equalized assessed value or "current equalized
19        assessed value as adjusted" or the initial equalized
20        assessed value of each such taxable lot, block, tract,
21        or parcel of real property existing at the time tax
22        increment financing was adopted, minus the total
23        current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of the
24        Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area
25        shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid
26        by the county collector to the respective affected

1        taxing districts in the manner required by law in the
2        absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
3        financing.
4            (2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
5        attributable to the increase in the current equalized
6        assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
7        or parcel of real property in the redevelopment project
8        area, over and above the initial equalized assessed
9        value of each property existing at the time tax
10        increment financing was adopted, minus the total
11        current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
12        of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
13        Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
14        allocated to and when collected shall be paid to the
15        municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said taxes into
16        a special fund called the special tax allocation fund
17        of the municipality for the purpose of paying
18        redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred
19        in the payment thereof.
20        The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds
21    in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund
22    for the payment of such costs and obligations. No part of
23    the current equalized assessed valuation of each property
24    in the redevelopment project area attributable to any
25    increase above the total initial equalized assessed value,
26    or the total initial equalized assessed value as adjusted,

1    of such properties shall be used in calculating the general
2    State aid formula, provided for in Section 18-8 of the
3    School Code, or the evidence-based funding formula,
4    provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code, until
5    such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid
6    as provided for in this Section.
7        Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
8    financing redevelopment project costs, such municipality
9    may provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee,
10    which may be any trust company within the State, and for
11    the establishment of such funds or accounts to be
12    maintained by such trustee as the municipality shall deem
13    necessary to provide for the security and payment of the
14    bonds. If such municipality provides for the appointment of
15    a trustee, such trustee shall be considered the assignee of
16    any payments assigned by the municipality pursuant to such
17    ordinance and this Section. Any amounts paid to such
18    trustee as assignee shall be deposited in the funds or
19    accounts established pursuant to such trust agreement, and
20    shall be held by such trustee in trust for the benefit of
21    the holders of the bonds, and such holders shall have a
22    lien on and a security interest in such funds or accounts
23    so long as the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon
24    retirement of the bonds, the trustee shall pay over any
25    excess amounts held to the municipality for deposit in the
26    special tax allocation fund.

1        When such redevelopment projects costs, including,
2    without limitation, all municipal obligations financing
3    redevelopment project costs incurred under this Division,
4    have been paid, all surplus funds then remaining in the
5    special tax allocation fund shall be distributed by being
6    paid by the municipal treasurer to the Department of
7    Revenue, the municipality and the county collector; first
8    to the Department of Revenue and the municipality in direct
9    proportion to the tax incremental revenue received from the
10    State and the municipality, but not to exceed the total
11    incremental revenue received from the State or the
12    municipality less any annual surplus distribution of
13    incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining
14    funds to be paid to the County Collector who shall

17    manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by
18    the county collector to the affected districts of real
19    property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
20    project area.
21        Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs,
22    the retirement of obligations, the distribution of any

8    Municipalities shall notify affected taxing districts
9    prior to November 1 if the redevelopment project area is to

13    finance a redevelopment project, as allowed by Public Act
14    87-1272 this amendatory Act of 1993, that extension shall

12    Sec. 11-74.6-35. Ordinance for tax increment allocation
13financing.
14    (a) A municipality, at the time a redevelopment project
15area is designated, may adopt tax increment allocation
16financing by passing an ordinance providing that the ad valorem
17taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon taxable real
18property within the redevelopment project area by taxing
19districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in
20subsection (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 each year after the
21effective date of the ordinance until redevelopment project
22costs and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
23project costs incurred under this Act have been paid shall be
24divided as follows:
25        (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable

 

 

HB5764- 795 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property that is
2    attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
3    value or the initial equalized assessed value or the
4    updated initial equalized assessed value of each taxable
5    lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
6    redevelopment project area shall be allocated to and when
7    collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
8    respective affected taxing districts in the manner
9    required by law without regard to the adoption of tax
10    increment allocation financing.
11        (2) That portion, if any, of those taxes that is
12    attributable to the increase in the current equalized
13    assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel
14    of real property in the redevelopment project area, over
15    and above the initial equalized assessed value or the
16    updated initial equalized assessed value of each property
17    in the project area, shall be allocated to and when
18    collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
19    municipal treasurer who shall deposit that portion of those
20    taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
21    fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
22    redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
23    the payment of those costs and obligations. In any county
24    with a population of 3,000,000 or more that has adopted a
25    procedure for collecting taxes that provides for one or
26    more of the installments of the taxes to be billed and

 

 

HB5764- 796 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    collected on an estimated basis, the municipal treasurer
2    shall be paid for deposit in the special tax allocation
3    fund of the municipality, from the taxes collected from
4    estimated bills issued for property in the redevelopment
5    project area, the difference between the amount actually
6    collected from each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
7    real property within the redevelopment project area and an
8    amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes
9    were last extended against the taxable lot, block, tract
10    track, or parcel of real property in the manner provided in
11    subsection (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 by the initial
12    equalized assessed value or the updated initial equalized
13    assessed value of the property divided by the number of
14    installments in which real estate taxes are billed and
15    collected within the county, provided that the payments on
16    or before December 31, 1999 to a municipal treasurer shall
17    be made only if each of the following conditions are met:
18            (A) The total equalized assessed value of the
19        redevelopment project area as last determined was not
20        less than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed
21        value.
22            (B) Not more than 50% of the total equalized
23        assessed value of the redevelopment project area as
24        last determined is attributable to a piece of property
25        assigned a single real estate index number.
26            (C) The municipal clerk has certified to the county

 

 

HB5764- 797 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations
2        to which there has been pledged the incremental
3        property taxes of the redevelopment project area or
4        taxes levied and collected on any or all property in
5        the municipality or the full faith and credit of the
6        municipality to pay or secure payment for all or a
7        portion of the redevelopment project costs. The
8        certification shall be filed annually no later than
9        September 1 for the estimated taxes to be distributed
10        in the following year.
11    The conditions of paragraphs (A) through (C) do not apply
12after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal treasurer
13made by a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that has
14adopted an estimated billing procedure for collecting taxes. If
15a county that has adopted the estimated billing procedure makes
16an erroneous overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal
17treasurer, then the county may seek a refund of that
18overpayment. The county shall send the municipal treasurer a
19notice of liability for the overpayment on or before the
20mailing date of the next real estate tax bill within the
21county. The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
22overpayment.
23    (b) It is the intent of this Act that a municipality's own
24ad valorem tax arising from levies on taxable real property be
25included in the determination of incremental revenue in the
26manner provided in paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.6-40.

1    (c) If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
2financing for a redevelopment project area by ordinance and the
3county clerk thereafter certifies the total initial equalized
4assessed value or the total updated initial equalized assessed
5value of the taxable real property within such redevelopment
6project area in the manner provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of
7Section 11-74.6-40, each year after the date of the
8certification of the total initial equalized assessed value or
9the total updated initial equalized assessed value until
10redevelopment project costs and all municipal obligations
11financing redevelopment project costs have been paid, the ad
12valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon the taxable
13real property in the redevelopment project area by taxing
14districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in
15paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 shall be divided as
16follows:
17        (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable
18    lot, block, tract or parcel of real property that is
19    attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
20    value or the initial equalized assessed value, or the
21    updated initial equalized assessed value of each parcel if
22    the updated initial equalized assessed value of that parcel
23    has been certified in accordance with Section 11-74.6-40,
24    whichever has been most recently certified, of each taxable
25    lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at
26    the time tax increment allocation financing was adopted in

 

 

HB5764- 799 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the redevelopment project area, shall be allocated to and
2    when collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
3    respective affected taxing districts in the manner
4    required by law without regard to the adoption of tax
5    increment allocation financing.
6        (2) That portion, if any, of those taxes that is
7    attributable to the increase in the current equalized
8    assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel
9    of real property in the redevelopment project area, over
10    and above the initial equalized assessed value of each
11    property existing at the time tax increment allocation
12    financing was adopted in the redevelopment project area, or
13    the updated initial equalized assessed value of each parcel
14    if the updated initial equalized assessed value of that
15    parcel has been certified in accordance with Section
16    11-74.6-40, shall be allocated to and when collected shall
17    be paid to the municipal treasurer, who shall deposit those
18    taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
19    fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
20    redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
21    the payment thereof.
22    (d) The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds
23in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund for
24the payment of redevelopment project costs and obligations. No
25part of the current equalized assessed value of each property
26in the redevelopment project area attributable to any increase

 

 

HB5764- 800 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1above the total initial equalized assessed value or the total
2initial updated equalized assessed value of the property, shall
3be used in calculating the general State aid formula, provided
4for in Section 18-8 of the School Code, or the evidence-based
5funding formula, provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School
6Code, until all redevelopment project costs have been paid as
7provided for in this Section.
8    Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
9financing redevelopment project costs, that municipality may
10provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee, which
11may be any trust company within the State, and for the
12establishment of any funds or accounts to be maintained by that
13trustee, as the municipality deems necessary to provide for the
14security and payment of the bonds. If the municipality provides
15for the appointment of a trustee, the trustee shall be
16considered the assignee of any payments assigned by the
17municipality under that ordinance and this Section. Any amounts
18paid to the trustee as assignee shall be deposited into the
19funds or accounts established under the trust agreement, and
20shall be held by the trustee in trust for the benefit of the
21holders of the bonds. The holders of those bonds shall have a
22lien on and a security interest in those funds or accounts
23while the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon retirement
24of the bonds, the trustee shall pay over any excess amounts
25held to the municipality for deposit in the special tax
26allocation fund.

2limitation all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
3project costs incurred under this Law, have been paid, all
4surplus funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund
5shall be distributed by being paid by the municipal treasurer
6to the municipality and the county collector; first to the
7municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
8revenue received from the municipality, but not to exceed the
9total incremental revenue received from the municipality,
10minus any annual surplus distribution of incremental revenue
11previously made. Any remaining funds shall be paid to the
12county collector who shall immediately distribute that payment
13to the taxing districts in the redevelopment project area in
14the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution
15by the county collector to the affected districts of real
16property taxes from real property situated in the redevelopment
17project area.
18    Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs,
19retirement of obligations and the distribution of any excess
20moneys under this Section, the municipality shall adopt an
21ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the
22redevelopment project area and terminating the designation of
23the redevelopment project area as a redevelopment project area.
24Thereafter the tax levies of taxing districts shall be
25extended, collected and distributed in the same manner

2prior to November if the redevelopment project area is to be
3terminated by December 31 of that same year.

6provided in the Property Tax Code or as relieving owners of
7that property from paying a uniform rate of taxes, as required

6eligibles established in accordance with the processes
7required by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed the
8performance standards required by the Section shall be placed
9on a register of eligibles for original appointment to an
10affected fire department.
11    Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
12a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
13firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
14or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
15granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
16cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
17the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
18list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
19the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
20for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
21alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
22department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
23over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
24person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
25eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
26ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people

 

 

HB5764- 811 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
2is less than 5 people.
3    Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
4losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
5candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
6by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
7prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
8examinations, including an examination held during the time a
9candidate is already on the fire district's register of
10eligibles.
11    The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
12shall be vested in the board of fire commissioners, or board of
13trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
14commissioners. All certificates of appointment issued to any
15officer or member of an affected department shall be signed by
16the chairperson and secretary, respectively, of the commission
17upon appointment of such officer or member to the affected
18department by action of the commission. After being selected
19from the register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the
20affected department, each appointee shall be presented with his
21or her certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she
22is sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
23Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
24when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
25within 10 days after making a written request to the
26chairperson of the board of fire commissioners, or board of

 

 

HB5764- 812 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
2commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of
3appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
4period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
5member of the fire department.
6    For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
7person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
8effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the
997th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or fire

14voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call firefighters;
15clerks and dispatchers or other civilian employees of a fire
16department or fire protection district who are not routinely
17expected to perform firefighter duties; and elected officials.
18    (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
19The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
20identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
21aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
22members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
23quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
24for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
25be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
26competitive, and open to all applicants unless the district

 

 

HB5764- 813 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
2district, county or counties in which the district is located,
3State, or nation. Any examination and testing procedure
4utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall be
5supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall comply
6with all applicable State and federal laws. Districts may
7establish educational, emergency medical service licensure,
8and other prerequisites prerequites for participation in an
9examination or for hire as a firefighter. Any fire protection
10district may charge a fee to cover the costs of the application
11process.
12    Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
13enters the fire service of a district cannot be made more
14restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
15service for that district, or be made a condition of promotion,
16except for the rank or position of fire chief and for no more
17than 2 positions that rank immediately below that of the chief
18rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the Fire
19Department Promotion Act.
20    No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
21to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
22the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
23in the regularly constituted fire department of the district,
24except as provided in this Section. The age limitation does not
25apply to:
26        (1) any person previously employed as a full-time

 

 

HB5764- 814 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
2    (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
3    Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
4    obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
5    of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
6    municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
7    protection district;
8        (2) any person who has served a fire district as a
9    regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
10    firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
11    that the district begins to use full-time firefighters to
12    provide all or part of its fire protection service; or
13        (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
14    of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
15    of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
16    Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
17    honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
18    military, and is currently under the age of 40.
19    No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
20for employment as a firefighter.
21    No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
22political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
23examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
24district or their designees and agents.
25    No district shall require that any firefighter appointed to
26the lowest rank serve a probationary employment period of

 

 

HB5764- 815 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1longer than one year of actual active employment, which may
2exclude periods of training, or injury or illness leaves,
3including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar days.
4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
5probationary employment period limitation may be extended for a
6firefighter who is required, as a condition of employment, to
7be a licensed paramedic, during which time the sole reason that
8a firefighter may be discharged without a hearing is for
9failing to meet the requirements for paramedic licensure.
10    In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
11for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
12eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
13appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the
14date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission
15may cause a second examination to be made of that applicant's
16physical ability prior to his or her appointment. If, after the
17second examination, the physical ability of the applicant shall
18be found to be less than the minimum standard fixed by the
19rules of the commission, the applicant shall not be appointed.
20The applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
21candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
22certification and appointment that applicant may be again
23examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
24ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
25standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
26shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be

 

 

HB5764- 816 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

7published in the district, or if no newspaper is published
8therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
9circulation within the district, or (ii) on the fire protection
10district's Internet website. Additional notice of the
11examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
12    The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
13firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
14ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
15aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
16determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
17final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
18subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by
19the commission. Scores from the examination must be made
20available to the public.
21    (e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
22least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school
23education shall be placed on a register of eligibles.
24Examination of an applicant's mental aptitude shall be based

HB5764- 817 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1capacity of the persons examined to discharge the duties
2performed by members of a fire department. Written examinations
3shall be administered in a manner that ensures the security and
4accuracy of the scores achieved.
5    (f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
6undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
7essential functions included in the duties they may be called
8upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
9purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
10functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
11called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
12frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
13department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
14in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
15for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
16competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
17each applicant's physical abilities in the following
18dimensions:
19        (1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
20    that may be required in the performance of duties including
21    grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength. Tests shall
22    be conducted under anaerobic as well as aerobic conditions
23    to test both the candidate's speed and endurance in
24    performing tasks and evolutions. Tasks tested may be based
25    on standards developed, or approved, by the local

7    environment may be hot and dark with tightly enclosed
8    spaces, flashing lights, sirens, and other distractions.
9    The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
10capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
11industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
12approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
13of the State Fire Marshal.
14    Physical ability examinations administered under this
15Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
16and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
17regulations of the commission.
18    (g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
19authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
20person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
21passage of the written examination or the passage of the
22written examination and the physical ability component.
23Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
24score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by
25the appointing authorities so as to demonstrate a candidate's
26ability to perform the essential functions of the job. The

 

 

HB5764- 819 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1minimum score set by the commission shall be supported by
2appropriate validation evidence and shall comply with all
3applicable State and federal laws. The appointing authority may
4conduct the physical ability component and any subjective
5components subsequent to the posting of the preliminary
6eligibility register.
7    The examination components for an initial eligibility
8register shall be graded on a 100-point scale. A person's
9position on the list shall be determined by the following: (i)
10the person's score on the written examination, (ii) the person
11successfully passing the physical ability component, and (iii)
12the person's results on any subjective component as described
13in subsection (d).
14    In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
15register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
16before any applicable preference points or subjective points
17are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
18commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
19score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
20register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
21score set by the commission.
22    The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons
23whose total score is not less than the minimum score for
24passage and who have passed the physical ability examination.
25These persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates
26in the order of their relative excellence based on the highest

 

 

HB5764- 820 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2to hold and maintain the property for public park or
3recreational purposes unless the park district obtains other
4real property of substantially the same size or larger and of
5substantially the same or greater suitability for park purposes
6without additional cost to the district. In the case of
7property given or sold under this subsection after January 1,

9Act of the 92nd General Assembly for which this covenant is
10required, the conveyance must provide that ownership of the

13part of the property to be used for purposes other than park or
14recreational purposes. Real estate given, sold, or leased to
15the State of Illinois under this subsection (1) must be 50
16acres or more in size, (2) may not be located within the

3being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper of general
4circulation within the park district. If there is no such

16    Sec. 14-8.02. Identification, evaluation, and placement of
17children.
18    (a) The State Board of Education shall make rules under
19which local school boards shall determine the eligibility of
20children to receive special education. Such rules shall ensure
21that a free appropriate public education be available to all
22children with disabilities as defined in Section 14-1.02. The
23State Board of Education shall require local school districts
24to administer non-discriminatory procedures or tests to
25English learners coming from homes in which a language other

 

 

HB5764- 872 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1than English is used to determine their eligibility to receive
2special education. The placement of low English proficiency
3students in special education programs and facilities shall be
4made in accordance with the test results reflecting the
5student's linguistic, cultural and special education needs.
6For purposes of determining the eligibility of children the
7State Board of Education shall include in the rules definitions
8of "case study", "staff conference", "individualized
9educational program", and "qualified specialist" appropriate
10to each category of children with disabilities as defined in
11this Article. For purposes of determining the eligibility of
12children from homes in which a language other than English is
13used, the State Board of Education shall include in the rules
14definitions for "qualified bilingual specialists" and
15"linguistically and culturally appropriate individualized
16educational programs". For purposes of this Section, as well as
17Sections 14-8.02a, 14-8.02b, and 14-8.02c of this Code,
18"parent" means a parent as defined in the federal Individuals
19with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1401(23)).
20    (b) No child shall be eligible for special education
21facilities except with a carefully completed case study fully
22reviewed by professional personnel in a multidisciplinary
23staff conference and only upon the recommendation of qualified
24specialists or a qualified bilingual specialist, if available.
25At the conclusion of the multidisciplinary staff conference,
26the parent of the child shall be given a copy of the

 

 

HB5764- 873 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1multidisciplinary conference summary report and
2recommendations, which includes options considered, and be
3informed of his or her their right to obtain an independent
4educational evaluation if he or she disagrees they disagree
5with the evaluation findings conducted or obtained by the
6school district. If the school district's evaluation is shown
7to be inappropriate, the school district shall reimburse the
8parent for the cost of the independent evaluation. The State
9Board of Education shall, with advice from the State Advisory
10Council on Education of Children with Disabilities on the
11inclusion of specific independent educational evaluators,
12prepare a list of suggested independent educational
13evaluators. The State Board of Education shall include on the
14list clinical psychologists licensed pursuant to the Clinical
15Psychologist Licensing Act. Such psychologists shall not be
16paid fees in excess of the amount that would be received by a
17school psychologist for performing the same services. The State
18Board of Education shall supply school districts with such list
19and make the list available to parents at their request. School
20districts shall make the list available to parents at the time
21they are informed of their right to obtain an independent
22educational evaluation. However, the school district may
23initiate an impartial due process hearing under this Section
24within 5 days of any written parent request for an independent
25educational evaluation to show that its evaluation is
26appropriate. If the final decision is that the evaluation is

 

 

HB5764- 874 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1appropriate, the parent still has a right to an independent
2educational evaluation, but not at public expense. An
3independent educational evaluation at public expense must be
4completed within 30 days of a parent written request unless the
5school district initiates an impartial due process hearing or
6the parent or school district offers reasonable grounds to show
7that such 30-day 30 day time period should be extended. If the
8due process hearing decision indicates that the parent is
9entitled to an independent educational evaluation, it must be
10completed within 30 days of the decision unless the parent or
11the school district offers reasonable grounds to show that such
1230-day 30 day period should be extended. If a parent disagrees
13with the summary report or recommendations of the
14multidisciplinary conference or the findings of any
15educational evaluation which results therefrom, the school
16district shall not proceed with a placement based upon such
17evaluation and the child shall remain in his or her regular
18classroom setting. No child shall be eligible for admission to
19a special class for children with a mental disability who are
20educable or for children with a mental disability who are
21trainable except with a psychological evaluation and
22recommendation by a school psychologist. Consent shall be
23obtained from the parent of a child before any evaluation is
24conducted. If consent is not given by the parent or if the
25parent disagrees with the findings of the evaluation, then the
26school district may initiate an impartial due process hearing

 

 

HB5764- 875 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1under this Section. The school district may evaluate the child
2if that is the decision resulting from the impartial due
3process hearing and the decision is not appealed or if the
4decision is affirmed on appeal. The determination of
5eligibility shall be made and the IEP meeting shall be
6completed within 60 school days from the date of written
7parental consent. In those instances when written parental
8consent is obtained with fewer than 60 pupil attendance days
9left in the school year, the eligibility determination shall be
10made and the IEP meeting shall be completed prior to the first
11day of the following school year. Special education and related
12services must be provided in accordance with the student's IEP
13no later than 10 school attendance days after notice is
14provided to the parents pursuant to Section 300.503 of Title 34
15of the Code of Federal Regulations and implementing rules
16adopted by the State Board of Education. The appropriate
17program pursuant to the individualized educational program of
18students whose native tongue is a language other than English
19shall reflect the special education, cultural and linguistic
20needs. No later than September 1, 1993, the State Board of
21Education shall establish standards for the development,
22implementation and monitoring of appropriate bilingual special
23individualized educational programs. The State Board of
24Education shall further incorporate appropriate monitoring
25procedures to verify implementation of these standards. The
26district shall indicate to the parent and the State Board of

1Education the nature of the services the child will receive for
2the regular school term while waiting placement in the
3appropriate special education class. At the child's initial IEP
4meeting and at each annual review meeting, the child's IEP team
5shall provide the child's parent or guardian with a written
6notification that informs the parent or guardian that the IEP
7team is required to consider whether the child requires
8assistive technology in order to receive free, appropriate
9public education. The notification must also include a
10toll-free telephone number and internet address for the State's
11assistive technology program.
12    If the child is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually
13impaired and he or she might be eligible to receive services
14from the Illinois School for the Deaf or the Illinois School
15for the Visually Impaired, the school district shall notify the
16parents, in writing, of the existence of these schools and the
17services they provide and shall make a reasonable effort to
18inform the parents of the existence of other, local schools
19that provide similar services and the services that these other
20schools provide. This notification shall include without
21limitation information on school services, school admissions
22criteria, and school contact information.
23    In the development of the individualized education program
24for a student who has a disability on the autism spectrum
25(which includes autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder,
26pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified,

1childhood disintegrative disorder, and Rett Syndrome, as
2defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
3Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV, 2000)), the IEP team shall
4consider all of the following factors:
5        (1) The verbal and nonverbal communication needs of the
6    child.
7        (2) The need to develop social interaction skills and
8    proficiencies.
9        (3) The needs resulting from the child's unusual
10    responses to sensory experiences.
11        (4) The needs resulting from resistance to
12    environmental change or change in daily routines.
13        (5) The needs resulting from engagement in repetitive
14    activities and stereotyped movements.
15        (6) The need for any positive behavioral
16    interventions, strategies, and supports to address any
17    behavioral difficulties resulting from autism spectrum
18    disorder.
19        (7) Other needs resulting from the child's disability
20    that impact progress in the general curriculum, including
21    social and emotional development.
22Public Act 95-257 does not create any new entitlement to a
23service, program, or benefit, but must not affect any
24entitlement to a service, program, or benefit created by any
25other law.
26    If the student may be eligible to participate in the

 

 

HB5764- 878 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1Home-Based Support Services Program for Adults with Mental
2Disabilities authorized under the Developmental Disability and
3Mental Disability Services Act upon becoming an adult, the
4student's individualized education program shall include plans
5for (i) determining the student's eligibility for those
6home-based services, (ii) enrolling the student in the program
7of home-based services, and (iii) developing a plan for the
8student's most effective use of the home-based services after
9the student becomes an adult and no longer receives special
10educational services under this Article. The plans developed
11under this paragraph shall include specific actions to be taken
12by specified individuals, agencies, or officials.
13    (c) In the development of the individualized education
14program for a student who is functionally blind, it shall be
15presumed that proficiency in Braille reading and writing is
16essential for the student's satisfactory educational progress.
17For purposes of this subsection, the State Board of Education
18shall determine the criteria for a student to be classified as
19functionally blind. Students who are not currently identified
20as functionally blind who are also entitled to Braille
21instruction include: (i) those whose vision loss is so severe
22that they are unable to read and write at a level comparable to
23their peers solely through the use of vision, and (ii) those
24who show evidence of progressive vision loss that may result in
25functional blindness. Each student who is functionally blind
26shall be entitled to Braille reading and writing instruction

 

 

HB5764- 879 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1that is sufficient to enable the student to communicate with
2the same level of proficiency as other students of comparable
3ability. Instruction should be provided to the extent that the
4student is physically and cognitively able to use Braille.
5Braille instruction may be used in combination with other
6special education services appropriate to the student's
7educational needs. The assessment of each student who is
8functionally blind for the purpose of developing the student's
9individualized education program shall include documentation
10of the student's strengths and weaknesses in Braille skills.
11Each person assisting in the development of the individualized
12education program for a student who is functionally blind shall
13receive information describing the benefits of Braille
14instruction. The individualized education program for each
15student who is functionally blind shall specify the appropriate
16learning medium or media based on the assessment report.
17    (d) To the maximum extent appropriate, the placement shall
18provide the child with the opportunity to be educated with
19children who do not have a disability; provided that children
20with disabilities who are recommended to be placed into regular
21education classrooms are provided with supplementary services
22to assist the children with disabilities to benefit from the
23regular classroom instruction and are included on the teacher's
24regular education class register. Subject to the limitation of
25the preceding sentence, placement in special classes, separate
26schools or other removal of the child with a disability from

 

 

HB5764- 880 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the regular educational environment shall occur only when the
2nature of the severity of the disability is such that education
3in the regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and
4services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. The placement of
5English learners with disabilities shall be in non-restrictive
6environments which provide for integration with peers who do
7not have disabilities in bilingual classrooms. Annually, each
8January, school districts shall report data on students from
9non-English speaking backgrounds receiving special education
10and related services in public and private facilities as
11prescribed in Section 2-3.30. If there is a disagreement
12between parties involved regarding the special education
13placement of any child, either in-state or out-of-state, the
14placement is subject to impartial due process procedures
15described in Article 10 of the Rules and Regulations to Govern
16the Administration and Operation of Special Education.
17    (e) No child who comes from a home in which a language
18other than English is the principal language used may be
19assigned to any class or program under this Article until he
20has been given, in the principal language used by the child and
21used in his home, tests reasonably related to his cultural
22environment. All testing and evaluation materials and
23procedures utilized for evaluation and placement shall not be
24linguistically, racially or culturally discriminatory.
25    (f) Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require
26any child to undergo any physical examination or medical

 

 

HB5764- 881 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1treatment whose parents object thereto on the grounds that such
2examination or treatment conflicts with his religious beliefs.
3    (g) School boards or their designee shall provide to the
4parents of a child prior written notice of any decision (a)
5proposing to initiate or change, or (b) refusing to initiate or
6change, the identification, evaluation, or educational
7placement of the child or the provision of a free appropriate
8public education to their child, and the reasons therefor. Such
9written notification shall also inform the parent of the
10opportunity to present complaints with respect to any matter
11relating to the educational placement of the student, or the

5    Sec. 18-8.15. Evidence-Based Funding Evidence-based
6funding for student success for the 2017-2018 and subsequent
7school years.
8    (a) General provisions.
9        (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
10    June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
11    through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
12    to ensure the educational development of all persons to the
13    limits of their capacities in accordance with Section 1 of
14    Article X of the Constitution of the State of Illinois. To
15    accomplish that objective, this Section creates a method of
16    funding public education that is evidence-based; is
17    sufficient to ensure every student receives a meaningful
18    opportunity to learn irrespective of race, ethnicity,
19    sexual orientation, gender, or community-income level; and
20    is sustainable and predictable. When fully funded under
21    this Section, every school shall have the resources, based
22    on what the evidence indicates is needed, to:
23            (A) provide all students with a high quality
24        education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
25        and emotional support, technical, and career-focused

 

 

HB5764- 886 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        programs that will allow them to become competitive
2        workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
3        this State, and active members of our national
4        democracy;
5            (B) ensure all students receive the education they
6        need to graduate from high school with the skills
7        required to pursue post-secondary education and
8        training for a rewarding career;
9            (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
10        achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
11        students by raising the performance of at-risk
12        students and not by reducing standards; and
13            (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
14        assume the primary responsibility to fund public
15        education and simultaneously relieve the
16        disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
17        to fund schools.
18        (2) The Evidence-Based Funding evidence-based funding
19    formula under this Section shall be applied to all
20    Organizational Units in this State. The Evidence-Based
21    Funding evidence-based funding formula outlined in this
22    Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1 of
23    the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both legislative
24    chambers. As further defined and described in this Section,
25    there are 4 major components of the Evidence-Based Funding
26    evidence-based funding model:

 

 

HB5764- 887 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
2        Target adequacy target for each Organizational Unit in
3        this State that considers the costs to implement
4        research-based activities, the unit's student
5        demographics, and regional wage differences
6        difference.
7            (B) Second, the model calculates each
8        Organizational Unit's Local Capacity local capacity,
9        or the amount each Organizational Unit is assumed to
10        contribute toward towards its Adequacy Target adequacy
11        target from local resources.
12            (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
13        the State currently contributes to the Organizational
14        Unit, and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity local
15        capacity to determine the unit's overall current
16        adequacy of funding.
17            (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
18        allocates new State funding to those Organizational
19        Units that are least well-funded, considering both
20        Local Capacity local capacity and State funding, in
21        relation to their Adequacy Target adequacy target.
22        (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
23    this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
24    for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
25    expenditures by law.
26        (4) As used in this Section, the following terms shall

11    calculating "ASE", all students, grades K through 12,
12    excluding those attending kindergarten for a half day and
13    students attending an alternative education program
14    operated by a regional office of education or intermediate
15    service center, shall be counted as 1.0. All students

24    collected both an October 1 and March 1 enrollment count by
25    grade or a December 1 collection of special education
26    pre-kindergarten students as of August 31, 2017 (the

 

 

HB5764- 892 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    effective date of Public Act 100-465) this amendatory Act
2    of the 100th General Assembly, it shall establish such
3    collection for all future years. For any year in which
4    where a count by grade level was collected only once, that
5    count shall be used as the single count available for
6    computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for programs
7    operated by a regional office of education or an
8    intermediate service center must be calculated using the
9    Evidence-Based Funding evidence-based funding formula
10    under this Section for the 2019-2020 school year and each
11    subsequent school year until separate adequacy formulas
12    are developed and adopted for each type of program. ASE for
13    a program operated by a regional office of education or an
14    intermediate service center must be determined by the March
15    1 enrollment for the program. For the 2019-2020 school
16    year, the ASE used in the calculation must be the
17    first-year ASE and, in that year only, the assignment of
18    students served by a regional office of education or
19    intermediate service center shall not result in a reduction
20    of the March enrollment for any school district. For the
21    2020-2021 school year, the ASE must be the greater of the
22    current-year ASE or the 2-year average ASE. Beginning with
23    the 2021-2022 school year, the ASE must be the greater of
24    the current-year ASE or the 3-year average ASE. School
25    districts shall submit the data for the ASE calculation to

1            with disabilities and all kindergarten through
2            grade 12 students.
3        (3) For calculating the salaries included within the
4    Essential Elements, the State Superintendent shall
5    annually calculate average salaries to the nearest dollar
6    using the employment information system data maintained by
7    the State Board, limited to public schools only and
8    excluding special education and vocational cooperatives,
9    schools operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice, and
10    charter schools, for the following positions:

24    includes core teachers, specialist and elective teachers,
25    instructional facilitators, tutors, special education
26    teachers, pupil support staff teachers, English learner

 

 

HB5764- 919 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    teachers, extended day extended-day teachers, and summer
2    school teachers. Where specific grade data is not required
3    for the Essential Elements, the average salary for
4    corresponding positions shall apply. For substitute
5    teachers, the average teacher salary for grades K through
6    12 shall apply.
7        For calculating the salaries included within the
8    Essential Elements for positions not included within EIS
9    Data, the following salaries shall be used in the first
10    year of implementation of Evidence-Based Funding:
11            (i) school site staff, $30,000; and
12            (ii) non-instructional assistant, instructional
13        assistant, library aide, library media tech, or
14        supervisory aide: $25,000.
15        In the second and subsequent years of implementation of
16    Evidence-Based Funding, the amounts in items (i) and (ii)
17    of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the ECI.
18        The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
19    determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
20    and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection
21    (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
22    Regionalization Factor.
23    (c) Local Capacity capacity calculation.
24        (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
25    represents an amount of funding it is assumed to contribute
26    toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the

 

 

HB5764- 920 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
2    Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
3    Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
4    (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
5    to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
6    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
7    calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
8    subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
9    Capacity Target.
10        (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
11    Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained by
12    multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
13    Ratio.
14            (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
15        Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
16        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
17        determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
18        paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
19        resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
20        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
21        Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
22        Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
23        (C) of this paragraph (2).
24            (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
25        in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
26        its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by

 

 

HB5764- 921 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
2        adjusted as follows:
3                (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
4            kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
5            further adjustments shall be made;
6                (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
7            kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
8            multiplied by 9/13;
9                (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
10            9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
11            multiplied by 4/13; and
12                (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
13            different grade configuration than those specified
14            in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
15            (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
16            comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
17            (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
18        percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
19        Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
20        Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
21        in a percentile ranking to determine each
22        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
23        Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
24        Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
25        percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
26        be calculated using the standard normal distribution

 

 

HB5764- 922 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
2        weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
3        of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
4        any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
5        shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
6        Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
7        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
8        the public university that are allocated to the
9        Laboratory School. For programs operated by a regional
10        office of education or an intermediate service center,
11        the Local Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in
12        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
13        school districts that are allocated to the regional
14        office of education or intermediate service center.
15        The weighted mean for the Local Capacity Percentage
16        shall be determined by multiplying each Organizational
17        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
18        creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
19        of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
20        ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
21        deviation shall be determined by taking the square root
22        of the weighted variance of all Organizational Units'
23        Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is calculated
24        by squaring the difference between each unit's Local
25        Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean, then multiplying
26        the variance for each unit times the ASE for the unit

 

 

HB5764- 923 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        to create a weighted variance for each unit, then
2        summing all units' weighted variance and dividing by
3        the total ASE of all units.
4            (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
5        Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
6        shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
7        remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
8        subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
9        Pension Code in a given year, or (ii) the board of
10        education's remaining contribution pursuant to
11        paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
12        the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
13        cost portion of the required contribution and amount
14        allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
15        17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
16        In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified
17        to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
18        Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
19        (ii) shall be certified to the State Board of Education
20        by the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement
21        Fund of the City of Chicago.
22        (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
23    than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
24    shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as calculated
25    in accordance with this paragraph (3). The Adjusted Local
26    Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of the

 

 

HB5764- 924 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its Real
2    Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment equals
3    the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its Local
4    Capacity Target, with the resulting figure multiplied by
5    the Local Capacity Percentage.
6        As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
7    Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
8    Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
9    resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
10    Adequacy Target.
11    (d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV for
12purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
13        (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
14    product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV. An
15    Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its Adjusted
16    Operating Tax Rate for property within the Organizational
17    Unit.
18        (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
19    equalized assessed valuation Equalized Assessed Valuation,
20    or EAV, of all taxable property of each Organizational Unit
21    as of September 30 of the previous year in accordance with
22    paragraph (3) of this subsection (d). The State
23    Superintendent shall then determine the Adjusted EAV of
24    each Organizational Unit in accordance with paragraph (4)
25    of this subsection (d), which Adjusted EAV figure shall be
26    used for the purposes of calculating Local Capacity.

 

 

HB5764- 925 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
2    of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
3    value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
4    of all taxable property of every Organizational Unit,
5    together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in extending
6    taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit as of
7    September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the limiting
8    rate for all Organizational Units subject to property tax
9    extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
10            (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
11        equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
12        each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
13        partially within a county that is or was subject to the
14        provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
15        Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
16        which the homestead exemption allowed under Section
17        15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
18        property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
19        the total amount that would have been allowed in that
20        Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
21        Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
22        in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
23        in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
24        (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
25        taxable year of all additional exemptions under
26        Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with

 

 

HB5764- 926 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        a household income of $30,000 or less. The county clerk
2        of any county that is or was subject to the provisions
3        of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
4        shall annually calculate and certify to the Department
5        of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all homestead
6        exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
7        Property Tax Code and all amounts of additional
8        exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
9        Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or
10        less. It is the intent of this subparagraph (A) that if
11        the general homestead exemption for a parcel of
12        property is determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177
13        of the Property Tax Code rather than Section 15-175,
14        then the calculation of EAV shall not be affected by
15        the difference, if any, between the amount of the
16        general homestead exemption allowed for that parcel of
17        property under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
18        Tax Code and the amount that would have been allowed
19        had the general homestead exemption for that parcel of
20        property been determined under Section 15-175 of the
21        Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
22        subparagraph (A) that if additional exemptions are
23        allowed under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code
24        for owners with a household income of less than
25        $30,000, then the calculation of EAV shall not be
26        affected by the difference, if any, because of those

 

 

HB5764- 927 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        additional exemptions.
2            (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
3        Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
4        which a municipality has adopted tax increment
5        allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
6        Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
7        11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
8        Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
9        Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
10        real property located in any such project area that
11        which is attributable to an increase above the total
12        initial EAV of such property shall be used as part of
13        the EAV of the Organizational Unit, until such time as
14        all redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
15        provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment
16        Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
17        of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of
18        the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total initial
19        EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower, shall be
20        used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
21        have been paid.
22            (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
23        valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
24        subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
25        or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
26        district an amount computed by dividing the amount of

 

 

HB5764- 928 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
2        Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
3        grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a district
4        maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or by 1.05%
5        for a district maintaining grades 9 through 12 and
6        adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the amount
7        of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a) of
8        Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
9        percentage rates for district type as specified in this
10        subparagraph (B-5).
11            (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
12        Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
13        lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
14        for property within the partial elementary unit
15        district for elementary purposes, as defined in
16        Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
17        assessed valuation for property within the partial
18        elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
19        defined in Article 11E of this Code.
20        (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
21    average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
22    or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if the EAV in
23    the immediately preceding year has declined by 10% or more
24    compared to the 3-year average. In the event of
25    Organizational Unit reorganization, consolidation, or
26    annexation, the Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV for the

 

 

HB5764- 929 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    first 3 years after such change shall be as follows: the
2    most current EAV shall be used in the first year, the
3    average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the immediately
4    preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or more compared
5    to the 2-year average for the second year, and a 3-year
6    average EAV or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if
7    the Adjusted adjusted EAV declines by 10% or more compared
8    to the 3-year average for the third year. For any school
9    district whose EAV in the immediately preceding year is
10    used in calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted
11    EAV shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
12    preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if that
13    year represents a decline of 10% or more compared to the
14    2-year average.
15        "PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
16    Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
17    described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
18    calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
19    Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
20    PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
21    product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
22    the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
23    of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
24    this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
25    Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved or
26    does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant to

 

 

HB5764- 930 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the Base
2    Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product of
3    the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
4    calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
5    this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
6    this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the
7    percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
8    for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
9    United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
10    year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the equalized
11    assessed valuation of new property, annexed property, and
12    recovered tax increment value and minus the equalized
13    assessed valuation of disconnected property.
14        As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
15    "recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings set
16    forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
17    (e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
18        (1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
19    Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
20    Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
21    Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
22    2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
23    specified appropriation amounts described in this
24    paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated by
25    the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code (now
26    repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act 99-524

 

 

HB5764- 931 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code (funding for
2    children requiring special education services); Section
3    14-13.01 of this Code (special education facilities and
4    staffing), except for reimbursement of the cost of
5    transportation pursuant to Section 14-13.01; Section
6    14C-12 of this Code (English learners); and Section 18-4.3
7    of this Code (summer school), based on an appropriation
8    level of $13,121,600. For a school district organized under
9    Article 34 of this Code, the Base Funding Minimum also
10    includes (i) the funds allocated to the school district
11    pursuant to Section 1D-1 of this Code attributable to
12    funding programs authorized by the Sections of this Code
13    listed in the preceding sentence; and (ii) the difference
14    between (I) the funds allocated to the school district
15    pursuant to Section 1D-1 of this Code attributable to the
16    funding programs authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public
17    special education reimbursement), subsection (b) of
18    Section 14-13.01 (special education transportation),
19    Section 29-5 (transportation), Section 2-3.80
20    (agricultural education), Section 2-3.66 (truants'
21    alternative education), Section 2-3.62 (educational
22    service centers), and Section 14-7.03 (special education -
23    orphanage) of this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood
24    Hunger Relief Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the
25    school district's actual expenditures for its non-public
26    special education, special education transportation,

 

 

HB5764- 932 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
2    alternative education, services that would otherwise be
3    performed by a regional office of education, special
4    education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
5    most recently calculated and reported pursuant to
6    subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
7    Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $625,500. For
8    programs operated by a regional office of education or an
9    intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum must
10    be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
11    programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
12    pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
13    3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
14    2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) this
15    amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly and
16    administered by a regional office of education or an
17    intermediate service center must have an initial Base
18    Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
19    ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
20    in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
21    existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
22    operated by a regional office of education or an
23    intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
24    receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
25    next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
26    Organizational Units under subsection (g).

 

 

HB5764- 933 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
2    Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
3    Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
4    Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
5    Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
6    any amount received by a school district pursuant to
7    Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
8    (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
9        (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
10    Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
11    to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
12    funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
13    this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
14    Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
15    are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection
16    (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final Resources and
17    Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to account for the
18    Organizational Unit's poverty concentration levels
19    pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection (f).
20        (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
21    equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
22    Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
23    Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
24    Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
25        (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
26    Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal the sum of

1    its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
2    Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
3    Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
4    Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
5    shall not include any portion of general State aid
6    allocated in the prior year based on the per capita tuition
7    charge times the charter school enrollment.
8        (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
9    is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
10    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
11    equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
12    Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
13    product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
14    Percent of Adequacy.
15    (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
16        (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
17    Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
18    equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
19    allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
20    subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
21    Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
22    places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
23    accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), based
24    on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy. New
25    State Funds are allocated to each of the 4 tiers as
26    follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of all New

 

 

HB5764- 935 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49% of all New
2    State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals 0.9% of all
3    New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding equals 0.1%
4    of all New State Funds. Each Organizational Unit within
5    Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New State Funds
6    equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in the following
7    sentence, multiplied by the tier's Allocation Rate
8    determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection
9    (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's Funding Gap
10    equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified in paragraph
11    (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
12    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
13    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
14    Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding Gap
15    equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in paragraph
16    (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
17    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
18    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
19    Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
20    the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
21    amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
22    the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
23    percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
24    4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
25    product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
26    Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection (g).

 

 

HB5764- 936 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for all
2    Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational Unit
3    shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
4    Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
5    Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
6    Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
7    per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
8    get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
9    funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
10    Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
11    Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by the
12    percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
13    Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
14    Units' Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
15    districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
16        (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4 tiers
17    as follows:
18            (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
19        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
20        Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
21        Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
22        Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
23        Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
24        of this subsection (g).
25            (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
26        other Organizational Units, except for Specially

 

 

HB5764- 937 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
2        0.90.
3            (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
4        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
5        Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
6            (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
7        with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
8        (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are is
9    determined as follows:
10            (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
11            (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
12        following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
13        by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
14        Organizational Units, unless the result of such
15        equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
16        equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2 Allocation
17        Rate is 1.0.
18            (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
19        following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
20        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
21        Organizational Units.
22            (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
23        following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
24        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
25        Organizational Units.
26        (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:

 

 

HB5764- 938 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1            (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that
2        allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
3        with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
4            (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
5            (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
6        (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
7    greater than 90%, than all Tier 1 funding shall be
8    allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
9    funding may be identified.
10        (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
11    receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
12    remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
13    Tier 4 Organizational Units.
14        (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
15    Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
16    direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
17    100-465 this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly
18    from any of the funding sources included within the
19    definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
20    portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred to
21    one or more appropriate Organizational Units as determined
22    by the State Superintendent based on the prior year ASE of
23    the Organizational Units.
24        (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
25    education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
26    Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be

 

 

HB5764- 939 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
2    school district and the cooperative must include the amount
3    of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be reapportioned
4    re-apportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify
5    the State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement
6    upon withdrawal.
7        (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
8    a target for State funding that will keep pace with
9    inflation and continue to advance equity through the
10    Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
11    funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
12    $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
13    fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
14    $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
15    than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
16    counted toward towards the Minimum Funding Level. If the
17    sum of New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax
18    Relief Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level,
19    than funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
20    manner:
21            (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
22        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
23        Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
24        Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
25            (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
26        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum

 

 

HB5764- 940 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2        Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
3        exhausted.
4            (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
5        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
6        Funding Level level and New new State Funds and the
7        reduction in Tier 4 and Tier 3.
8            (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
9        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
10        Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
11        Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
12        Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
13        to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate allocation rate set by
14        paragraph (4) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
15        result of New State Funds divided by the Minimum
16        Funding Level.
17        (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
18    fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
19    any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated for
20    purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a maximum of
21    $50,000,000.
22        (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
23    appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
24    implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
25    receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
26    paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held

 

 

HB5764- 941 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
2    the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
3    received in accordance with this Section in the prior
4    fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
5    Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
6    per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
7    in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
8    divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
9    Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
10    Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
11    relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
12    Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions to
13    Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an amount
14    that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
15    established in the first year of implementation of this
16    Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
17    districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
18    equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
19    divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
20        (11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
21    adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
22    subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
23    to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to
24    the nearest whole dollar.
25    (h) State Superintendent administration of funding and

12    year are distributed other than monthly, the distribution
13    shall be on the same basis for each Organizational Unit.
14        (6) Any school district that fails, for any given
15    school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
16    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
17    Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
18    or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
19    operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
20    shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
21    the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment of
22    the school district. "Recognized school" means any public
23    school that meets the standards for recognition by the
24    State Board. A school district or attendance center not

10guardian or any other individual registered with the Department
11of Public Health as a designated caregiver of a student who is
12a registered qualifying patient to administer a medical
13cannabis infused product to the student on the premises of the
14child's school or on the child's school bus if both the student
15(as a registered qualifying patient) and the parent or guardian
16or other individual (as a registered designated caregiver) have
17been issued registry identification cards under the
18Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act. After
19administering the product, the parent or guardian or other
20individual shall remove the product from the school premises or

3after normal school activities, including while the student is
4in before-school or after-school care on school-operated
5property or while the student is being transported on a school
6bus. A school district, public school, charter school, or
7nonpublic school may authorize the self-administration of a
8medical cannabis infused product by a student who is a
9registered qualifying patient if the self-administration takes
10place under the direct supervision of a school nurse or school
11administrator.
12    Before allowing the administration of a medical cannabis
13infused product by a school nurse or school administrator or a
14student's self-administration of a medical cannabis infused
15product under the supervision of a school nurse or school
16administrator under this subsection, the parent or guardian of

10    (c) A parent or guardian or other individual may not
11administer a medical cannabis infused product under this
12Section in a manner that, in the opinion of the school district
13or school, would create a disruption to the school's
14educational environment or would cause exposure of the product
15to other students.
16    (d) A school district or school may not discipline a
17student who is administered a medical cannabis infused product
18by a parent or guardian or other individual under this Section
19or who self-administers a medical cannabis infused product
20under the supervision of a school nurse or school administrator
21under this Section and may not deny the student's eligibility
22to attend school solely because the student requires the
23administration of the product.
24    (e) Nothing in this Section requires a member of a school's
25staff to administer a medical cannabis infused product to a
26student.

 

 

HB5764- 974 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (f) A school district, public school, charter school, or
2nonpublic school may not authorize the use of a medical
3cannabis infused product under this Section if the school
4district or school would lose federal funding as a result of
5the authorization.
6    (f-5) The State Board of Education, in consultation with
7the Department of Public Health, must develop a training
8curriculum for school nurses and school administrators on the
9administration of medical cannabis infused products. Prior to
10the administration of a medical cannabis infused product under
11subsection (b-5), a school nurse or school administrator must
12annually complete the training curriculum developed under this

23    (105 ILCS 5/22-85)
24    Sec. 22-85. Sexual abuse at schools.
25    (a) The General Assembly finds that:

 

 

HB5764- 975 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (1) investigation of a child regarding an incident of
2    sexual abuse can induce significant trauma for the child;
3        (2) it is desirable to prevent multiple interviews of a
4    child at a school; and
5        (3) it is important to recognize the role of Children's
6    Advocacy Centers in conducting developmentally appropriate
7    investigations.
8    (b) In this Section:
9    "Alleged incident of sexual abuse" is limited to an
10incident of sexual abuse of a child that is alleged to have
11been perpetrated by school personnel, including a school vendor
12or volunteer, that occurred (i) on school grounds or during a
13school activity or (ii) outside of school grounds or not during
14a school activity.
15    "Appropriate law enforcement agency" means a law
16enforcement agency whose employees have been involved, in some
17capacity, with an investigation of a particular alleged
18incident of sexual abuse.
19    (c) If a mandated reporter within a school has knowledge of
20an alleged incident of sexual abuse, the reporter must call the
21Department of Children and Family Services' hotline
22established under Section 7.6 of the Abused and Neglected Child
23Reporting Act immediately after obtaining the minimal
24information necessary to make a report, including the names of
25the affected parties and the allegations. The State Board of
26Education must make available materials detailing the

 

 

HB5764- 976 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1information that is necessary to enable notification to the
2Department of Children and Family Services of an alleged
3incident of sexual abuse. Each school must ensure that mandated
4reporters review the State Board of Education's materials and
5materials developed by the Department of Children and Family
6Services and distributed in the school building under Section 7
7of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act at least once
8annually.
9    (d) For schools in a county with an accredited Children's
10Advocacy Center, every alleged incident of sexual abuse that is
11reported to the Department of Children and Family Services'
12hotline or a law enforcement agency and is subsequently
13accepted for investigation must be referred by the entity that
14received the report to the local Children's Advocacy Center
15pursuant to that county's multidisciplinary team's protocol
16under the Children's Advocacy Center Act for investigating
17child sexual abuse allegations.
18    (e) A county's local Children's Advocacy Center must, at a
19minimum, do both of the following regarding a referred case of
20an alleged incident of sexual abuse:
21        (1) Coordinate the investigation of the alleged
22    incident, as governed by the local Children's Advocacy
23    Center's existing multidisciplinary team protocol and
24    according to National Children's Alliance accreditation
25    standards.
26        (2) Facilitate communication between the

 

 

HB5764- 977 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    multidisciplinary team investigating the alleged incident
2    of sexual abuse and, if applicable, the referring school's
3    (i) Title IX officer, or his or her designee, (ii) school
4    resource officer, or (iii) personnel leading the school's
5    investigation into the alleged incident of sexual abuse. If
6    a school uses a designated entity to investigate a sexual
7    abuse allegation, the multidisciplinary team may
8    correspond only with that entity and any reference in this
9    Section to "school" refers to that designated entity. This
10    facilitation of communication must, at a minimum, ensure
11    that all applicable parties have each other's contact
12    information and must share the county's local Children's
13    Advocacy Center's protocol regarding the process of
14    approving the viewing of a forensic interview, as defined
15    under Section 2.5 of the Children's Advocacy Center Act, by
16    school personnel and a contact person for questions
17    relating to the protocol.
18    (f) After an alleged incident of sexual abuse is accepted
19for investigation by the Department of Children and Family
20Services or a law enforcement agency and while the criminal and
21child abuse investigations related to that alleged incident are
22being conducted by the local multidisciplinary team, the school
23relevant to the alleged incident of sexual abuse must comply
24with both of the following:
25        (1) It may not interview the alleged victim regarding
26    details of the alleged incident of sexual abuse until after

 

 

HB5764- 978 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the completion of the forensic interview of that victim is
2    conducted at a Children's Advocacy Center. This paragraph
3    does not prohibit a school from requesting information from
4    the alleged victim or his or her parent or guardian to
5    ensure the safety and well-being of the alleged victim at
6    school during an investigation.
7        (2) If asked by a law enforcement agency or an
8    investigator of the Department of Children and Family
9    Services who is conducting the investigation, it must
10    inform those individuals of any evidence the school has
11    gathered pertaining to an alleged incident of sexual abuse,
12    as permissible by federal or State law.
13    (g) After completion of a forensic interview, the
14multidisciplinary team must notify the school relevant to the
15alleged incident of sexual abuse of its completion. If, for any
16reason, a multidisciplinary team determines it will not conduct
17a forensic interview in a specific investigation, the
18multidisciplinary team must notify the school as soon as the
19determination is made. If a forensic interview has not been
20conducted within 15 calendar days after opening an
21investigation, the school may notify the multidisciplinary
22team that it intends to interview the alleged victim. No later
23than 10 calendar days after this notification, the
24multidisciplinary team may conduct the forensic interview and,
25if the multidisciplinary team does not conduct the interview,
26the school may proceed with its interview.

 

 

HB5764- 979 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (h) To the greatest extent possible considering student
2safety and Title IX compliance, school personnel may view the
3electronic recordings of a forensic interview of an alleged
4victim of an incident of sexual abuse. As a means to avoid
5additional interviews of an alleged victim, school personnel
6must be granted viewing access to the electronic recording of a
7forensic interview conducted at an accredited Children's
8Advocacy Center for an alleged incident of sexual abuse only if
9the school receives (i) approval from the multidisciplinary
10team investigating the case and (ii) informed consent by a
11child over the age of 13 or the child's parent or guardian.
12Each county's local Children's Advocacy Center and
13multidisciplinary team must establish an internal protocol
14regarding the process of approving the viewing of the forensic
15interview, and this process and the contact person must be
16shared with the school contact at the time of the initial
17facilitation. Whenever possible, the school's viewing of the
18electronic recording of a forensic interview should be
19conducted in lieu of the need for additional interviews.
20    (i) For an alleged incident of sexual abuse that has been
21accepted for investigation by a multidisciplinary team, if,
22during the course of its internal investigation and at any
23point during or after the multidisciplinary team's
24investigation, the school determines that it needs to interview
25the alleged victim to successfully complete its investigation
26and the victim is under 18 years of age, a child advocate must

 

 

HB5764- 980 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1be made available to the student and may be present during the
2school's interview. A child advocate may be a school social
3worker, a school or equally qualified psychologist, or a person
4in a position the State Board of Education has identified as an
5appropriate advocate for the student during a school's
6investigation into an alleged incident of sexual abuse.
7    (j) The Department of Children and Family Services must
8notify the relevant school when an agency investigation of an
9alleged incident of sexual abuse is complete. The notification
10must include information on the outcome of that investigation.
11    (k) The appropriate law enforcement agency must notify the
12relevant school when an agency investigation of an alleged
13incident of sexual abuse is complete or has been suspended. The
14notification must include information on the outcome of that
15investigation.
16    (l) This Section applies to all schools operating under
17this Code, including, but not limited to, public schools
18located in cities having a population of more than 500,000, a
19school operated pursuant to an agreement with a public school
20district, alternative schools operated by third parties, an
21alternative learning opportunities program, a public school
22administered by a local public agency or the Department of
23Human Services, charter schools operating under the authority
24of Article 27A, and non-public schools recognized by the State
25Board of Education.

17    that the parent or guardian or, if applicable, the student
18    understands what the Free Application for Federal Student
19    Aid and application for State financial aid are and has
20    chosen not to file an application under paragraph (1).
21    (b) Each school district with a high school must require
22each high school student to comply with this Section and must
23provide to each high school student and, if applicable, his or
24her parent or guardian any support or assistance necessary to

1school diploma to a student who is unable to meet the
2requirements of subsection (a) due to extenuating
3circumstances, as determined by the school district, if (i) the
4student has met all other graduation requirements under this
5Code and (ii) the principal attests that the school district
6has made a good faith effort to assist the student or, if

6    Sec. 24-12. Removal or dismissal of teachers in contractual
7continued service.
8    (a) This subsection (a) applies only to honorable
9dismissals and recalls in which the notice of dismissal is
10provided on or before the end of the 2010-2011 school term. If
11a teacher in contractual continued service is removed or
12dismissed as a result of a decision of the board to decrease
13the number of teachers employed by the board or to discontinue
14some particular type of teaching service, written notice shall
15be mailed to the teacher and also given the teacher either by
16certified mail, return receipt requested or personal delivery
17with receipt at least 60 days before the end of the school
18term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
19reason therefor, and in all such cases the board shall first
20remove or dismiss all teachers who have not entered upon
21contractual continued service before removing or dismissing
22any teacher who has entered upon contractual continued service
23and who is legally qualified to hold a position currently held
24by a teacher who has not entered upon contractual continued
25service.

 

 

HB5764- 985 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    As between teachers who have entered upon contractual
2continued service, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
3length of continuing service with the district shall be
4dismissed first unless an alternative method of determining the
5sequence of dismissal is established in a collective bargaining
6agreement or contract between the board and a professional
7faculty members' organization and except that this provision
8shall not impair the operation of any affirmative action
9program in the district, regardless of whether it exists by
10operation of law or is conducted on a voluntary basis by the
11board. Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
12discontinuance shall be paid all earned compensation on or
13before the third business day following the last day of pupil
14attendance in the regular school term.
15    If the board has any vacancies for the following school
16term or within one calendar year from the beginning of the
17following school term, the positions thereby becoming
18available shall be tendered to the teachers so removed or
19dismissed so far as they are legally qualified to hold such
20positions; provided, however, that if the number of honorable
21dismissal notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of
22the number of full-time equivalent positions filled by
23certified employees (excluding principals and administrative
24personnel) during the preceding school year, then if the board
25has any vacancies for the following school term or within 2
26calendar years from the beginning of the following school term,

 

 

HB5764- 986 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the positions so becoming available shall be tendered to the
2teachers who were so notified and removed or dismissed whenever
3they are legally qualified to hold such positions. Each board
4shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
5representatives, each year establish a list, categorized by
6positions, showing the length of continuing service of each
7teacher who is qualified to hold any such positions, unless an
8alternative method of determining a sequence of dismissal is
9established as provided for in this Section, in which case a
10list shall be made in accordance with the alternative method.
11Copies of the list shall be distributed to the exclusive
12employee representative on or before February 1 of each year.
13Whenever the number of honorable dismissal notices based upon
14economic necessity exceeds 5, or 150% of the average number of
15teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding 3 years,
16whichever is more, then the board also shall hold a public
17hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
18hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
19reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.
20    (b) This subsection (b) applies only to honorable
21dismissals and recalls in which the notice of dismissal is
22provided during the 2011-2012 school term or a subsequent
23school term. If any teacher, whether or not in contractual

1discontinue some particular type of teaching service, or a
2reduction in the number of programs or positions in a special
3education joint agreement, then written notice must be mailed
4to the teacher and also given to the teacher either by
5certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal delivery
6with receipt at least 45 days before the end of the school
7term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
8reason therefor, and in all such cases the sequence of
9dismissal shall occur in accordance with this subsection (b);
10except that this subsection (b) shall not impair the operation
11of any affirmative action program in the school district,
12regardless of whether it exists by operation of law or is
13conducted on a voluntary basis by the board.
14    Each teacher must be categorized into one or more positions
15for which the teacher is qualified to hold, based upon legal
16qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
17district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
18May 10 prior to the school year during which the sequence of
19dismissal is determined. Within each position and subject to
20agreements made by the joint committee on honorable dismissals
21that are authorized by subsection (c) of this Section, the
22school district or joint agreement must establish 4 groupings
23of teachers qualified to hold the position as follows:

4    teacher who is employed to teach less than a full-day,
5    teacher workload or less than 5 days of the normal student
6    attendance week, unless otherwise provided for in a
7    collective bargaining agreement between the district and

19    Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance evaluation
20    rating on either of the teacher's last 2 performance
21    evaluation ratings.
22        (3) Grouping 3 shall consist of each teacher with a
23    performance evaluation rating of at least Satisfactory or

2    placement into grouping 4.
3        (4) Grouping 4 shall consist of each teacher whose last
4    2 performance evaluation ratings are Excellent and each
5    teacher with 2 Excellent performance evaluation ratings
6    out of the teacher's last 3 performance evaluation ratings

8    Among teachers qualified to hold a position, teachers must
9be dismissed in the order of their groupings, with teachers in
10grouping one dismissed first and teachers in grouping 4
11dismissed last.
12    Within grouping one, the sequence of dismissal must be at
13the discretion of the school district or joint agreement.
14Within grouping 2, the sequence of dismissal must be based upon
15average performance evaluation ratings, with the teacher or
16teachers with the lowest average performance evaluation rating
17dismissed first. A teacher's average performance evaluation
18rating must be calculated using the average of the teacher's
19last 2 performance evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are
20available, or the teacher's last performance evaluation
21rating, if only one rating is available, using the following
22numerical values: 4 for Excellent; 3 for Proficient or
23Satisfactory; 2 for Needs Improvement; and 1 for
24Unsatisfactory. As between or among teachers in grouping 2 with
25the same average performance evaluation rating and within each
26of groupings 3 and 4, the teacher or teachers with the shorter

1length of continuing service with the school district or joint
2agreement must be dismissed first unless an alternative method
3of determining the sequence of dismissal is established in a
4collective bargaining agreement or contract between the board
5and a professional faculty members' organization.
6    Each board, including the governing board of a joint
7agreement, shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
8representatives, each year establish a sequence of honorable
9dismissal list categorized by positions and the groupings
10defined in this subsection (b). Copies of the list showing each
11teacher by name and categorized by positions and the groupings
12defined in this subsection (b) must be distributed to the
13exclusive bargaining representative at least 75 days before the
14end of the school term, provided that the school district or
15joint agreement may, with notice to any exclusive employee
16representatives, move teachers from grouping one into another
17grouping during the period of time from 75 days until 45 days
18before the end of the school term. Each year, each board shall
19also establish, in consultation with any exclusive employee
20representatives, a list showing the length of continuing
21service of each teacher who is qualified to hold any such
22positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
23sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
24Section, in which case a list must be made in accordance with
25the alternative method. Copies of the list must be distributed
26to the exclusive employee representative at least 75 days

 

 

HB5764- 991 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1before the end of the school term.
2    Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
3discontinuance must be paid all earned compensation on or
4before the third business day following the last day of pupil
5attendance in the regular school term.
6    If the board or joint agreement has any vacancies for the
7following school term or within one calendar year from the
8beginning of the following school term, the positions thereby
9becoming available must be tendered to the teachers so removed
10or dismissed who were in grouping groupings 3 or 4 of the
11sequence of dismissal and are qualified to hold the positions,
12based upon legal qualifications and any other qualifications
13established in a district or joint agreement job description,
14on or before the May 10 prior to the date of the positions
15becoming available, provided that if the number of honorable
16dismissal notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of
17the number of full-time equivalent positions filled by
18certified employees (excluding principals and administrative
19personnel) during the preceding school year, then the recall
20period is for the following school term or within 2 calendar
21years from the beginning of the following school term. If the
22board or joint agreement has any vacancies within the period
23from the beginning of the following school term through
24February 1 of the following school term (unless a date later
25than February 1, but no later than 6 months from the beginning
26of the following school term, is established in a collective

 

 

HB5764- 992 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1bargaining agreement), the positions thereby becoming
2available must be tendered to the teachers so removed or
3dismissed who were in grouping 2 of the sequence of dismissal
4due to one "needs improvement" rating on either of the
5teacher's last 2 performance evaluation ratings, provided
6that, if 2 ratings are available, the other performance
7evaluation rating used for grouping purposes is
8"satisfactory", "proficient", or "excellent", and are
9qualified to hold the positions, based upon legal
10qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
11district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
12May 10 prior to the date of the positions becoming available.
13On and after July 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
1498-648), the preceding sentence shall apply to teachers removed
15or dismissed by honorable dismissal, even if notice of
16honorable dismissal occurred during the 2013-2014 school year.
17Among teachers eligible for recall pursuant to the preceding
18sentence, the order of recall must be in inverse order of
19dismissal, unless an alternative order of recall is established
20in a collective bargaining agreement or contract between the
21board and a professional faculty members' organization.
22Whenever the number of honorable dismissal notices based upon
23economic necessity exceeds 5 notices or 150% of the average
24number of teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding 3
25years, whichever is more, then the school board or governing
26board of a joint agreement, as applicable, shall also hold a

 

 

HB5764- 993 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1public hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
2hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
3reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.
4    For purposes of this subsection (b), subject to agreement
5on an alternative definition reached by the joint committee
6described in subsection (c) of this Section, a teacher's
7performance evaluation rating means the overall performance
8evaluation rating resulting from an annual or biennial
9performance evaluation conducted pursuant to Article 24A of
10this Code by the school district or joint agreement determining
11the sequence of dismissal, not including any performance
12evaluation conducted during or at the end of a remediation
13period. No more than one evaluation rating each school term
14shall be one of the evaluation ratings used for the purpose of
15determining the sequence of dismissal. Except as otherwise
16provided in this subsection for any performance evaluations
17conducted during or at the end of a remediation period, if
18multiple performance evaluations are conducted in a school
19term, only the rating from the last evaluation conducted prior
20to establishing the sequence of honorable dismissal list in
21such school term shall be the one evaluation rating from that
22school term used for the purpose of determining the sequence of
23dismissal. Averaging ratings from multiple evaluations is not
24permitted unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining
25agreement or contract between the board and a professional
26faculty members' organization. The preceding 3 sentences are

 

 

HB5764- 994 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1not a legislative declaration that existing law does or does
2not already require that only one performance evaluation each
3school term shall be used for the purpose of determining the
4sequence of dismissal. For performance evaluation ratings
5determined prior to September 1, 2012, any school district or
6joint agreement with a performance evaluation rating system
7that does not use either of the rating category systems
8specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code for
9all teachers must establish a basis for assigning each teacher
10a rating that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of
11this Code for all of the performance evaluation ratings that
12are to be used to determine the sequence of dismissal. A
13teacher's grouping and ranking on a sequence of honorable
14dismissal shall be deemed a part of the teacher's performance
15evaluation, and that information shall be disclosed to the
16exclusive bargaining representative as part of a sequence of
17honorable dismissal list, notwithstanding any laws prohibiting
18disclosure of such information. A performance evaluation
19rating may be used to determine the sequence of dismissal,
20notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance resolution or
21arbitration procedures relating to the performance evaluation.
22If a teacher has received at least one performance evaluation
23rating conducted by the school district or joint agreement
24determining the sequence of dismissal and a subsequent
25performance evaluation is not conducted in any school year in
26which such evaluation is required to be conducted under Section

 

 

HB5764- 995 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

124A-5 of this Code, the teacher's performance evaluation rating
2for that school year for purposes of determining the sequence
3of dismissal is deemed Proficient. If a performance evaluation
4rating is nullified as the result of an arbitration,
5administrative agency, or court determination, then the school
6district or joint agreement is deemed to have conducted a
7performance evaluation for that school year, but the
8performance evaluation rating may not be used in determining
9the sequence of dismissal.
10    Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed as
11limiting the right of a school board or governing board of a
12joint agreement to dismiss a teacher not in contractual
13continued service in accordance with Section 24-11 of this
14Code.
15    Any provisions regarding the sequence of honorable
16dismissals and recall of honorably dismissed teachers in a
17collective bargaining agreement entered into on or before
18January 1, 2011 and in effect on June 13, 2011 (the effective
19date of Public Act 97-8) that may conflict with Public Act 97-8
20shall remain in effect through the expiration of such agreement
21or June 30, 2013, whichever is earlier.
22    (c) Each school district and special education joint
23agreement must use a joint committee composed of equal
24representation selected by the school board and its teachers
25or, if applicable, the exclusive bargaining representative of
26its teachers, to address the matters described in paragraphs

 

 

HB5764- 996 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1(1) through (5) of this subsection (c) pertaining to honorable
2dismissals under subsection (b) of this Section.
3        (1) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
4    criteria for excluding from grouping 2 and placing into
5    grouping 3 a teacher whose last 2 performance evaluations
6    include a Needs Improvement and either a Proficient or
7    Excellent.
8        (2) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
9    an alternative definition for grouping 4, which definition
10    must take into account prior performance evaluation
11    ratings and may take into account other factors that relate
12    to the school district's or program's educational
13    objectives. An alternative definition for grouping 4 may
14    not permit the inclusion of a teacher in the grouping with
15    a Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance
16    evaluation rating on either of the teacher's last 2
17    performance evaluation ratings.
18        (3) The joint committee may agree to including within
19    the definition of a performance evaluation rating a
20    performance evaluation rating administered by a school
21    district or joint agreement other than the school district
22    or joint agreement determining the sequence of dismissal.
23        (4) For each school district or joint agreement that
24    administers performance evaluation ratings that are
25    inconsistent with either of the rating category systems
26    specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code,

 

 

HB5764- 997 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the school district or joint agreement must consult with
2    the joint committee on the basis for assigning a rating
3    that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this
4    Code to each performance evaluation rating that will be
5    used in a sequence of dismissal.
6        (5) Upon request by a joint committee member submitted
7    to the employing board by no later than 10 days after the
8    distribution of the sequence of honorable dismissal list, a
9    representative of the employing board shall, within 5 days
10    after the request, provide to members of the joint
11    committee a list showing the most recent and prior
12    performance evaluation ratings of each teacher identified
13    only by length of continuing service in the district or
14    joint agreement and not by name. If, after review of this
15    list, a member of the joint committee has a good faith
16    belief that a disproportionate number of teachers with
17    greater length of continuing service with the district or
18    joint agreement have received a recent performance
19    evaluation rating lower than the prior rating, the member
20    may request that the joint committee review the list to
21    assess whether such a trend may exist. Following the joint
22    committee's review, but by no later than the end of the
23    applicable school term, the joint committee or any member
24    or members of the joint committee may submit a report of
25    the review to the employing board and exclusive bargaining
26    representative, if any. Nothing in this paragraph (5) shall

 

 

HB5764- 998 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    impact the order of honorable dismissal or a school
2    district's or joint agreement's authority to carry out a
3    dismissal in accordance with subsection (b) of this
4    Section.
5    Agreement by the joint committee as to a matter requires
6the majority vote of all committee members, and if the joint
7committee does not reach agreement on a matter, then the
8otherwise applicable requirements of subsection (b) of this
9Section shall apply. Except as explicitly set forth in this
10subsection (c), a joint committee has no authority to agree to
11any further modifications to the requirements for honorable
12dismissals set forth in subsection (b) of this Section. The
13joint committee must be established, and the first meeting of
14the joint committee each school year must occur on or before
15December 1.
16    The joint committee must reach agreement on a matter on or
17before February 1 of a school year in order for the agreement
18of the joint committee to apply to the sequence of dismissal
19determined during that school year. Subject to the February 1
20deadline for agreements, the agreement of a joint committee on
21a matter shall apply to the sequence of dismissal until the
22agreement is amended or terminated by the joint committee.
23    The provisions of the Open Meetings Act shall not apply to
24meetings of a joint committee created under this subsection
25(c).
26    (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

 

 

HB5764- 999 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1subsection (d), the requirements and dismissal procedures of
2Section 24-16.5 of this Code shall apply to any dismissal
3sought under Section 24-16.5 of this Code.
4        (1) If a dismissal of a teacher in contractual
5    continued service is sought for any reason or cause other
6    than an honorable dismissal under subsections (a) or (b) of
7    this Section or a dismissal sought under Section 24-16.5 of
8    this Code, including those under Section 10-22.4, the board
9    must first approve a motion containing specific charges by
10    a majority vote of all its members. Written notice of such
11    charges, including a bill of particulars and the teacher's
12    right to request a hearing, must be mailed to the teacher
13    and also given to the teacher either by certified mail,
14    return receipt requested, or personal delivery with
15    receipt within 5 days of the adoption of the motion. Any
16    written notice sent on or after July 1, 2012 shall inform
17    the teacher of the right to request a hearing before a
18    mutually selected hearing officer, with the cost of the
19    hearing officer split equally between the teacher and the
20    board, or a hearing before a board-selected hearing
21    officer, with the cost of the hearing officer paid by the
22    board.
23        Before setting a hearing on charges stemming from
24    causes that are considered remediable, a board must give
25    the teacher reasonable warning in writing, stating
26    specifically the causes that, if not removed, may result in

 

 

HB5764- 1000 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    charges; however, no such written warning is required if
2    the causes have been the subject of a remediation plan
3    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code.
4        If, in the opinion of the board, the interests of the
5    school require it, the board may suspend the teacher
6    without pay, pending the hearing, but if the board's
7    dismissal or removal is not sustained, the teacher shall
8    not suffer the loss of any salary or benefits by reason of
9    the suspension.
10        (2) No hearing upon the charges is required unless the
11    teacher within 17 days after receiving notice requests in
12    writing of the board that a hearing be scheduled before a
13    mutually selected hearing officer or a hearing officer
14    selected by the board. The secretary of the school board
15    shall forward a copy of the notice to the State Board of
16    Education.
17        (3) Within 5 business days after receiving a notice of
18    hearing in which either notice to the teacher was sent
19    before July 1, 2012 or, if the notice was sent on or after
20    July 1, 2012, the teacher has requested a hearing before a
21    mutually selected hearing officer, the State Board of
22    Education shall provide a list of 5 prospective, impartial
23    hearing officers from the master list of qualified,
24    impartial hearing officers maintained by the State Board of
25    Education. Each person on the master list must (i) be
26    accredited by a national arbitration organization and have

 

 

HB5764- 1001 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    had a minimum of 5 years of experience directly related to
2    labor and employment relations matters between employers
3    and employees or their exclusive bargaining
4    representatives and (ii) beginning September 1, 2012, have
5    participated in training provided or approved by the State
6    Board of Education for teacher dismissal hearing officers
7    so that he or she is familiar with issues generally
8    involved in evaluative and non-evaluative dismissals.
9        If notice to the teacher was sent before July 1, 2012
10    or, if the notice was sent on or after July 1, 2012, the
11    teacher has requested a hearing before a mutually selected
12    hearing officer, the board and the teacher or their legal
13    representatives within 3 business days shall alternately
14    strike one name from the list provided by the State Board
15    of Education until only one name remains. Unless waived by
16    the teacher, the teacher shall have the right to proceed
17    first with the striking. Within 3 business days of receipt
18    of the list provided by the State Board of Education, the
19    board and the teacher or their legal representatives shall
20    each have the right to reject all prospective hearing
21    officers named on the list and notify the State Board of
22    Education of such rejection. Within 3 business days after
23    receiving this notification, the State Board of Education
24    shall appoint a qualified person from the master list who
25    did not appear on the list sent to the parties to serve as
26    the hearing officer, unless the parties notify it that they

 

 

HB5764- 1002 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    have chosen to alternatively select a hearing officer under
2    paragraph (4) of this subsection (d).
3        If the teacher has requested a hearing before a hearing
4    officer selected by the board, the board shall select one
5    name from the master list of qualified impartial hearing
6    officers maintained by the State Board of Education within
7    3 business days after receipt and shall notify the State
8    Board of Education of its selection.
9        A hearing officer mutually selected by the parties,
10    selected by the board, or selected through an alternative
11    selection process under paragraph (4) of this subsection
12    (d) (A) must not be a resident of the school district, (B)
13    must be available to commence the hearing within 75 days
14    and conclude the hearing within 120 days after being
15    selected as the hearing officer, and (C) must issue a
16    decision as to whether the teacher must be dismissed and
17    give a copy of that decision to both the teacher and the
18    board within 30 days from the conclusion of the hearing or
19    closure of the record, whichever is later.
20        (4) In the alternative to selecting a hearing officer
21    from the list received from the State Board of Education or
22    accepting the appointment of a hearing officer by the State
23    Board of Education or if the State Board of Education
24    cannot provide a list or appoint a hearing officer that
25    meets the foregoing requirements, the board and the teacher
26    or their legal representatives may mutually agree to select

 

 

HB5764- 1003 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    an impartial hearing officer who is not on the master list
2    either by direct appointment by the parties or by using
3    procedures for the appointment of an arbitrator
4    established by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
5    Service or the American Arbitration Association. The
6    parties shall notify the State Board of Education of their
7    intent to select a hearing officer using an alternative
8    procedure within 3 business days of receipt of a list of
9    prospective hearing officers provided by the State Board of
10    Education, notice of appointment of a hearing officer by
11    the State Board of Education, or receipt of notice from the
12    State Board of Education that it cannot provide a list that
13    meets the foregoing requirements, whichever is later.
14        (5) If the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher
15    before July 1, 2012, the fees and costs for the hearing
16    officer must be paid by the State Board of Education. If
17    the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher on or after
18    July 1, 2012, the hearing officer's fees and costs must be
19    paid as follows in this paragraph (5). The fees and
20    permissible costs for the hearing officer must be
21    determined by the State Board of Education. If the board
22    and the teacher or their legal representatives mutually
23    agree to select an impartial hearing officer who is not on
24    a list received from the State Board of Education, they may
25    agree to supplement the fees determined by the State Board
26    to the hearing officer, at a rate consistent with the

 

 

HB5764- 1004 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    hearing officer's published professional fees. If the
2    hearing officer is mutually selected by the parties, then
3    the board and the teacher or their legal representatives
4    shall each pay 50% of the fees and costs and any
5    supplemental allowance to which they agree. If the hearing
6    officer is selected by the board, then the board shall pay
7    100% of the hearing officer's fees and costs. The fees and
8    costs must be paid to the hearing officer within 14 days
9    after the board and the teacher or their legal
10    representatives receive the hearing officer's decision set
11    forth in paragraph (7) of this subsection (d).
12        (6) The teacher is required to answer the bill of
13    particulars and aver affirmative matters in his or her
14    defense, and the time for initially doing so and the time
15    for updating such answer and defenses after pre-hearing
16    discovery must be set by the hearing officer. The State
17    Board of Education shall promulgate rules so that each
18    party has a fair opportunity to present its case and to
19    ensure that the dismissal process proceeds in a fair and
20    expeditious manner. These rules shall address, without
21    limitation, discovery and hearing scheduling conferences;
22    the teacher's initial answer and affirmative defenses to
23    the bill of particulars and the updating of that
24    information after pre-hearing discovery; provision for
25    written interrogatories and requests for production of
26    documents; the requirement that each party initially

 

 

HB5764- 1005 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    disclose to the other party and then update the disclosure
2    no later than 10 calendar days prior to the commencement of
3    the hearing, the names and addresses of persons who may be
4    called as witnesses at the hearing, a summary of the facts
5    or opinions each witness will testify to, and all other
6    documents and materials, including information maintained
7    electronically, relevant to its own as well as the other
8    party's case (the hearing officer may exclude witnesses and
9    exhibits not identified and shared, except those offered in
10    rebuttal for which the party could not reasonably have
11    anticipated prior to the hearing); pre-hearing discovery
12    and preparation, including provision for written
13    interrogatories and requests for production of documents,
14    provided that discovery depositions are prohibited; the
15    conduct of the hearing; the right of each party to be
16    represented by counsel, the offer of evidence and witnesses
17    and the cross-examination of witnesses; the authority of
18    the hearing officer to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces
19    tecum, provided that the hearing officer may limit the
20    number of witnesses to be subpoenaed on behalf of each
21    party to no more than 7; the length of post-hearing briefs;
22    and the form, length, and content of hearing officers'
23    decisions. The hearing officer shall hold a hearing and
24    render a final decision for dismissal pursuant to Article
25    24A of this Code or shall report to the school board
26    findings of fact and a recommendation as to whether or not

 

 

HB5764- 1006 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    the teacher must be dismissed for conduct. The hearing
2    officer shall commence the hearing within 75 days and
3    conclude the hearing within 120 days after being selected
4    as the hearing officer, provided that the hearing officer
5    may modify these timelines upon the showing of good cause
6    or mutual agreement of the parties. Good cause for the
7    purpose of this subsection (d) shall mean the illness or
8    otherwise unavoidable emergency of the teacher, district

1    witness who is a student or who is under 18 years of age
2    all relevant questions and follow-up questions. All
3    questions must exclude evidence of the witness' sexual

7        (7) The hearing officer shall, within 30 days from the
8    conclusion of the hearing or closure of the record,
9    whichever is later, make a decision as to whether or not

18    decision or findings of fact and recommendation within 30
19    days after the hearing is concluded or the record is
20    closed, whichever is later, the parties may mutually agree
21    to select a hearing officer pursuant to the alternative
22    procedure, as provided in this Section, to rehear the
23    charges heard by the hearing officer who failed to render a
24    decision or findings of fact and recommendation or to
25    review the record and render a decision. If any hearing
26    officer fails without good cause, specifically provided in

 

 

HB5764- 1009 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    writing to both parties and the State Board of Education,
2    to render a decision or findings of fact and recommendation
3    within 30 days after the hearing is concluded or the record
4    is closed, whichever is later, the hearing officer shall be
5    removed from the master list of hearing officers maintained
6    by the State Board of Education for not more than 24
7    months. The parties and the State Board of Education may
8    also take such other actions as it deems appropriate,
9    including recovering, reducing, or withholding any fees
10    paid or to be paid to the hearing officer. If any hearing
11    officer repeats such failure, he or she must be permanently
12    removed from the master list maintained by the State Board
13    of Education and may not be selected by parties through the
14    alternative selection process under this paragraph (7) or
15    paragraph (4) of this subsection (d). The board shall not
16    lose jurisdiction to discharge a teacher if the hearing
17    officer fails to render a decision or findings of fact and
18    recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
19    If the decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
20    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
21    for dismissal for cause is in favor of the teacher, then
22    the hearing officer or school board shall order
23    reinstatement to the same or substantially equivalent
24    position and shall determine the amount for which the
25    school board is liable, including, but not limited to, loss
26    of income and benefits.

 

 

HB5764- 1010 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (8) The school board, within 45 days after receipt of
2    the hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation
3    as to whether (i) the conduct at issue occurred, (ii) the
4    conduct that did occur was remediable, and (iii) the
5    proposed dismissal should be sustained, shall issue a
6    written order as to whether the teacher must be retained or
7    dismissed for cause from its employ. The school board's
8    written order shall incorporate the hearing officer's
9    findings of fact, except that the school board may modify
10    or supplement the findings of fact if, in its opinion, the
11    findings of fact are against the manifest weight of the
12    evidence.
13        If the school board dismisses the teacher
14    notwithstanding the hearing officer's findings of fact and
15    recommendation, the school board shall make a conclusion in
16    its written order, giving its reasons therefor, and such
17    conclusion and reasons must be included in its written
18    order. The failure of the school board to strictly adhere
19    to the timelines contained in this Section shall not render
20    it without jurisdiction to dismiss the teacher. The school
21    board shall not lose jurisdiction to discharge the teacher
22    for cause if the hearing officer fails to render a
23    recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
24    The decision of the school board is final, unless reviewed
25    as provided in paragraph (9) of this subsection (d).

HB5764- 1011 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    board shall enter a written order stating the amount of
2    back pay and lost benefits, less mitigation, to be paid to
3    the teacher, within 45 days after its retention order.
4    Should the teacher object to the amount of the back pay and
5    lost benefits or amount mitigated, the teacher shall give
6    written objections to the amount within 21 days. If the
7    parties fail to reach resolution within 7 days, the dispute
8    shall be referred to the hearing officer, who shall
9    consider the school board's written order and teacher's
10    written objection and determine the amount to which the
11    school board is liable. The costs of the hearing officer's
12    review and determination must be paid by the board.
13        (9) The decision of the hearing officer pursuant to
14    Article 24A of this Code or of the school board's decision
15    to dismiss for cause is final unless reviewed as provided
16    in Section 24-16 of this Code. If the school board's
17    decision to dismiss for cause is contrary to the hearing
18    officer's recommendation, the court on review shall give
19    consideration to the school board's decision and its
20    supplemental findings of fact, if applicable, and the
21    hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation in
22    making its decision. In the event such review is
23    instituted, the school board shall be responsible for
24    preparing and filing the record of proceedings, and such
25    costs associated therewith must be divided equally between
26    the parties.

 

 

HB5764- 1012 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (10) If a decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
2    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
3    for dismissal for cause is adjudicated upon review or
4    appeal in favor of the teacher, then the trial court shall
5    order reinstatement and shall remand the matter to the
6    school board with direction for entry of an order setting
7    the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and costs, less
8    mitigation. The teacher may challenge the school board's
9    order setting the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and
10    costs, less mitigation, through an expedited arbitration
11    procedure, with the costs of the arbitrator borne by the
12    school board.
13        Any teacher who is reinstated by any hearing or
14    adjudication brought under this Section shall be assigned
15    by the board to a position substantially similar to the one
16    which that teacher held prior to that teacher's suspension
17    or dismissal.
18        (11) Subject to any later effective date referenced in
19    this Section for a specific aspect of the dismissal
20    process, the changes made by Public Act 97-8 shall apply to
21    dismissals instituted on or after September 1, 2011. Any
22    dismissal instituted prior to September 1, 2011 must be
23    carried out in accordance with the requirements of this
24    Section prior to amendment by Public Act 97-8.

3        (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or
4    affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any
5    branch of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by
6    contract or otherwise, any bank services for itself,
7    whether on or off its premises:
8            (a) that performance shall be subject to
9        examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as
10        if services were being performed by the bank or, after
11        May 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on
12        its own premises; and
13            (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
14        out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
15        existence of a service relationship. The notification

10    the State banks:
11            (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call
12        Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly
13        installments equal to one-fourth of the sum of the
14        annual fixed fee of $800, plus a variable fee based on

2        for in Section 47. The Secretary may require payment of
3        the fees provided in this Section by an electronic
4        transfer of funds or an automatic debit of an account
5        of each of the State banks. In case more than one
6        examination of any bank is deemed by the Secretary to
7        be necessary in any examination frequency cycle
8        specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
9        performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
10        reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
11        additional examination. In lieu of the method and
12        amounts set forth in this paragraph (a) for the
13        calculation of the Call Report Fee, the Secretary may
14        specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
15        this Section may be assessed semiannually or some other

17        used for calculating and assessing the periodic Call
18        Report Fees to be paid by State banks.

18        processing services under subsection (2.5) at or on

20        by the out-of-state banks, unless those expenses are
21        borne by the state regulatory authorities that
22        chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by
23        cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and
24        the state regulatory authorities that chartered the
25        out-of-state banks.

4        fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee
5        equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid
6        by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection
7        (3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the
8        aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined
9        in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum
10        of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks
11        for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3),
12        plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
13        Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that
14        year, plus all other amounts collected by the
15        Commissioner for that year under any other provision of
16        this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected for

18        Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership fees
19        provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary
20        Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The aggregate
21        amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at for any
22        fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed
23        upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
24        corporations, respectively, in the same proportion
25        that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of subsection
26        (3), respectively, for that year bears to the aggregate

 

 

HB5764- 1112 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        for that year of the fees collected under paragraph (a)
2        of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of the
3        contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
4        upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
5        respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner
6        and shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120
7        days of the close of the period for which the
8        contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
9        Commissioner shall give 20 days' advance notice of the
10        amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
11        and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment
12        of the fee.
13            (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
14        year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
15        for that year incident to making the examinations
16        provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this
17        Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the

2        expenses of those officers and employees, employees,
3        expenditures or charges for the acquisition,
4        enlargement or improvement of, or for the use of, any
5        office space, building, or structure, or expenditures
6        for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat,
7        light, or power with respect thereto, all to the extent
8        that those expenditures are directly incidental to
9        such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
10        shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of
11        this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's
12        budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and
13        accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
14        employees of the Commissioner upon termination of
15        their service with the Commissioner in an amount that
16        is more than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary
17        for any anticipated turnover in employees, whether due
18        to normal attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
19        resignations.
20            (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
21        Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
22        or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
23        1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
24        accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
25        State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
26        to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",

 

 

HB5764- 1114 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        except as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11)
2        of this Section. All earnings received from
3        investments of funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
4        shall be deposited in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
5        and may be used for the same purposes as fees deposited
6        in that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited
7        into the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i)
8        to offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the
9        Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a
10        credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
11        subsection (3). Nothing in Public Act 81-131 shall
12        prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
13        involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
14        State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
15        appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However,
16        the General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those
17        payments made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual
18        transfer of funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund.
19        Moneys in the Bank and Trust Company Fund may be
20        transferred to the Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as
21        authorized under Section 2105-300 of the Department of
22        Professional Regulation Law of the Civil
23        Administrative Code of Illinois.
24            Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
25        Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
26        the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year

 

 

HB5764- 1115 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the
2        State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
3        specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
4        deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
5        that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
6        Fund in order to help defray the State's operating
7        costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions
8        in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended,
9        or any other law to the contrary, the total sum
10        transferred during any fiscal year through January 10,
11        2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
12        General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
13        not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues
14        to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
15        during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and
16        Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated
17        under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
18        receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
19            (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
20        and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
21        administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
22        administration expenses shall be deducted from the
23        total fees collected by the Commissioner and the
24        remainder transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
25        Account, unless the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve
26        Account prior to the transfer equals or exceeds

 

 

HB5764- 1116 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        one-fourth of the total initial appropriations from
2        the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the subsequent
3        year, in which case the remainder shall be credited to
4        State banks and foreign banking corporations and
5        applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
6        amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
7        corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
8        Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
9        Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
10        transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if
11        no remainder is available for transfer, the balance of
12        the Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth
13        of the total initial appropriations for the subsequent
14        year and the amount transferred is less than 5% of the
15        total Call Report Fees for the year, additional amounts
16        needed to make the transfer equal to 5% of the total
17        Call Report Fees for the year shall be apportioned
18        amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
19        foreign banking corporations in the same proportion
20        that the Call Report Fees of each, respectively, for
21        the year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected
22        for the year. The additional amounts assessed shall be
23        transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For
24        purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of
25        the fees collected by the Commissioner shall exclude
26        the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of

 

 

HB5764- 1117 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
2            (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
3        any public record in his keeping and shall have

7        this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
8        review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
9        reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
10        approval, or service.
11        (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
12    limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports
13    of any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent
14    insured by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to
15    limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
16    reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
17        (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
18    investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
19    for officers or employees of every State bank or, after May

21    be included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of
22    an out-of-state bank subject to examination by the
23    Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
24    Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
25    examination that the condition of or operation of the
26    investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,

 

 

HB5764- 1118 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
2    Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
3    Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
4    within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to
5    the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state
6    bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney
7    General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against
8    the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of directors
9    thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the nature of
10    the case may require.
11        (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
12            (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
13        of administering the provisions of this Act.
14            (a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued
15        by the Commissioner if he determines that the
16        conditions are necessary or appropriate. These
17        conditions shall be imposed in writing and shall
18        continue in effect for the period prescribed by the
19        Commissioner.
20            (b) To issue orders against any person, if the
21        Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an
22        unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is
23        occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has
24        violated, is violating, or is about to violate any law,
25        rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, or

21        Commissioner under the provisions of this Act or any
22        rule promulgated in accordance with this Act.
23            (e) To conduct hearings.
24        (7) Whenever, in the opinion of the Secretary, any

14    reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the State
15    bank, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. If, in
16    the opinion of the Secretary, any former director, officer,

3    (205 ILCS 305/9)  (from Ch. 17, par. 4410)
4    Sec. 9. Reports and examinations.
5    (1) Credit unions shall report to the Department on forms
6supplied by the Department, in accordance with a schedule
7published by the Department. A recapitulation of the annual
8reports shall be compiled and published annually by the
9Department, for the use of the General Assembly, credit unions,
10various educational institutions and other interested parties.
11A credit union which fails to file any report when due shall
12pay to the Department a late filing fee for each day the report
13is overdue as prescribed by rule. The Secretary may extend the
14time for filing a report.
15    (2) The Secretary may require special examinations of and
16special financial reports from a credit union or a credit union
17organization in which a credit union loans, invests, or
18delegates substantially all managerial duties and
19responsibilities when he determines that such examinations and
20reports are necessary to enable the Department to determine the
21safety of a credit union's operation or its solvency. The cost
22to the Department of the aforesaid special examinations shall
23be borne by the credit union being examined as prescribed by
24rule.

 

 

HB5764- 1135 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    (3) All credit unions incorporated under this Act shall be
2examined at least biennially by the Department or, at the
3discretion of the Secretary, by a public accountant registered
4by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The
5costs of an examination shall be paid by the credit union. The
6scope of all examinations by a public accountant shall be at
7least equal to the examinations made by the Department. The
8examiners shall have full access to, and may compel the
9production of, all the books, papers, securities and accounts
10of any credit union. A special examination shall be made by the
11Department or by a public accountant approved by the Department
12upon written request of 5 or more members, who guarantee the
13expense of the same. Any credit union refusing to submit to an
14examination when ordered by the Department shall be reported to
15the Attorney General, who shall institute proceedings to have
16its charter revoked. If the Secretary determines that the
17examination of a credit union is to be conducted by a public
18accountant registered by the Department of Financial and
19Professional Regulation and the examination is done in
20conjunction with the credit union's external independent audit
21of financial statements, the requirements of this Section and
22subsection (3) of Section 34 shall be deemed met.
23    (3.5) Pursuant to Section 8, the Secretary shall adopt
24rules that ensure consistency and due process in the
25examination process. The Secretary may also establish
26guidelines that (i) define the scope of the examination process

 

 

HB5764- 1136 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1and (ii) clarify examination items to be resolved. The rules,
2formal guidance, interpretive interpretative letters, or
3opinions furnished to credit unions by the Secretary may be
4relied upon by the credit unions.
5    (4) A copy of the completed report of examination and a
6review comment letter, if any, citing exceptions revealed
7during the examination, shall be submitted to the credit union
8by the Department. A detailed report stating the corrective
9actions taken by the board of directors on each exception set
10forth in the review comment letter shall be filed with the
11Department within 40 days after the date of the review comment
12letter, or as otherwise directed by the Department. Any credit
13union through its officers, directors, committee members or
14employees, which willfully provides fraudulent or misleading
15information regarding the corrective actions taken on
16exceptions appearing in a review comment letter may have its
17operations restricted to the collection of principal and
18interest on loans outstanding and the payment of normal
19expenses and salaries until all exceptions are corrected and
20accepted by the Department.

23    (205 ILCS 305/46)  (from Ch. 17, par. 4447)
24    Sec. 46. Loans and interest rate.
25    (1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such

 

 

HB5764- 1137 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of
2interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan
3officer approves. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
4law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may
5elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other
6charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions
7of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that
8extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall
9be subject to the laws applicable thereto. The rates of
10interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
11board of directors of each individual credit union in
12accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
13less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
14this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
15in whole or in part, without penalty. A prepayment penalty does
16not include a waived, bona fide third-party charge that the
17credit union imposes if the borrower prepays all of the
18transaction's principal sooner than 36 months after
19consummation of a closed-end credit transaction, a waived, bona
20fide third-party charge that the credit union imposes if the
21borrower terminates an open-end credit plan sooner than 36
22months after account opening, or a yield maintenance fee
23imposed on a business loan transaction. The credit contract may
24provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
25union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
26attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the

 

 

HB5764- 1138 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
2delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
3obligation of the member under the credit contract. A
4contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
5agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
6collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
7shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
8    (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
9any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
10regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
11loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
12conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
13estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
14collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
15regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
16computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
17time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
18with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
19    For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
20prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
21with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
22charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
23or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
24in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
25made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
26indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which

 

 

HB5764- 1139 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
2charged, or collected but before the next date on which
3interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,
4charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
5collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
6elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
7the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
8computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
91/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
10rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
11date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
12interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
13lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
14sentence.
15    (3) (Blank).
16    (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
17credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
18an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
19revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
20on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
21interests in land trusts.
22    For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
23meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
24    Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
25credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
26not only the existing indebtedness but also such future

 

 

HB5764- 1140 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
2the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within 20
3twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if
4such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
5such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
6advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
7instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
8outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
9mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
10notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
11future advances from form the time said mortgage or deed of
12trust is filed for record in the office of the recorder of
13deeds or the registrar of titles of the county where the real
14property described therein is located. The total amount of
15indebtedness that may be so secured may increase or decrease
16from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at
17any one time shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which
18must be specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus
19interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of
20taxes, special assessments, or insurance on said real property,
21with interest on such disbursements.
22    Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
23priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
24statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
25real property.
26    (4-5) For purposes of this Section, "real estate" and "real

 

 

HB5764- 1141 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1property" include a manufactured home as defined in subdivision
2(53) of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is
3real property as defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and
4Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and
5Severance Act.
6    (5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or
7regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered
8under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.
9    (6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage
10loans on terms and conditions established by the United States
11Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development
12Housing and Community Facilities Program. The portion of any
13loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall
14be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the
15program.
16    (7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an
17existing loan at the credit union that is secured by an
18interest or equity in real estate, a new appraisal of the
19collateral shall not be required when (i) no new moneys are
20advanced other than funds necessary to cover reasonable closing
21costs, or (ii) there has been no obvious or material change in
22market conditions or physical aspects of the real estate that
23threatens the adequacy of the credit union's real estate
24collateral protection after the transaction, even with the
25advancement of new moneys. The Department reserves the right to
26require an appraisal under this subsection (7) whenever the

 

 

HB5764- 1142 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1Department believes it is necessary to address safety and
2soundness concerns.

7    Section 410. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by
8changing Sections 28.2a, 291.1, 368g, 370c, and 534.3 and by
9setting forth, renumbering, and changing multiple versions of
10Section 356z.33 as follows:
 
11    (215 ILCS 5/28.2a)  (from Ch. 73, par. 640.2a)
12    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
13    Sec. 28.2a. Proxies.
14    (1) A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise
15act for him or her by signing an appointment form and
16delivering it to the person so appointed.
17    (2) No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11
18months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the
19proxy. Every proxy continues in full force and effect until
20revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant
21thereto, except as otherwise provided in this Section. Such
22revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the
23corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a
24subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting

 

 

HB5764- 1165 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy. The
2dates contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine
3the order of execution, regardless of the postmark dates on the
4envelopes in which they are mailed.
5    (3) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the
6shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states
7that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an
8interest in the shares or in the corporation generally. By way
9of example and without limiting the generality of the
10foregoing, a proxy is coupled with an interest when the proxy
11appointed is one of the following:
12        (a) a pledgee;
13        (b) a person who has purchased or had agreed to
14    purchase the shares;
15        (c) a creditor of the corporation who has extended it
16    credit under terms requiring the appointment, if the
17    appointment states the purpose for which it was given, the
18    name of the creditor, and the amount of credit extended; or
19        (d) an employee of the corporation whose employment
20    contract requires the appointment, if the appointment
21    states the purpose for which it was given, the name of the
22    employee, and the period of employment.
23    (4) The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a
24proxy does not revoke the proxy's authority unless notice of
25the death or incapacity is received by the officer or agent who
26maintains the corporation's share transfer book before the

 

 

HB5764- 1166 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment.
2    (5) An appointment made irrevocable under subsection (3)
3becomes revocable when the interest in the proxy terminates
4such as when the pledge is redeemed, the shares are registered
5in the purchaser's name, the creditor's debt is paid, the
6employment contract ends, or the voting agreement expires.
7    (6) A transferee for value of shares subject to an
8irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if the
9transferee was ignorant of its existence when the shares were
10acquired and both the existence of the appointment and its
11revocability were not noted conspicuously on the certificate
12(or information statement for shares without certificates)
13representing the shares.
14    (7) Unless the appointment of a proxy contains an express
15limitation on the proxy's authority, a corporation may accept
16one proxy's vote or other action as that of the shareholder
17making the appointment. If the proxy appointed fails to vote or
18otherwise act in accordance with the appointment, the
19shareholder is entitled to such legal or equitable relief as is
20appropriate in the circumstances.

13    research trials conducted by the National Institute of
14    Mental Health in the Recovery After an Initial
15    Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) trials for psychosis
16    resulting from a serious mental illness, but excluding the

21    to be covered shall include those covered under Article V
22    of the Illinois Public Aid Code, through 89 Ill. Adm. Code
23    140.453(d)(4).
24    (b) Adherence to the clinical models. For purposes of
25ensuring adherence to the coordinated specialty care for first

 

 

HB5764- 1175 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1episode psychosis treatment model, only providers contracted
2with the Department of Human Services' Division of Mental
3Health to be FIRST.IL providers to deliver coordinated
4specialty care for first episode psychosis treatment shall be
5permitted to provide such treatment in accordance with this
6Section and such providers must adhere to the fidelity of the

9Department of Human Services' Division of Mental Health and
10approved to provide ACT and CST by the Department of Healthcare
11and Family Services, or its designee, in accordance with 89
12Ill. Adm. Code 140, shall be permitted to provide such services
13under this Section and such providers shall be required to
14adhere to the fidelity of the models.
15    (c) Development of medical necessity criteria for
16coverage. Within 6 months after January 1, 2020 (the effective
17date of Public Act 101-461) this amendatory Act of the 101st
18General Assembly, the Department of Insurance shall lead and
19convene a workgroup that includes the Department of Human
20Services' Division of Mental Health, the Department of
21Healthcare and Family Services, providers of the treatment
22models listed in this Section, and insurers operating in
23Illinois to develop medical necessity criteria for such
24treatment models for purposes of coverage under this Section.
25The workgroup shall use the medical necessity criteria the
26State and other states use as guidance for establishing medical

 

 

HB5764- 1176 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1necessity for insurance coverage. The Department of Insurance
2shall adopt a rule that defines medical necessity for each of
3the 3 treatment models listed in this Section by no later than
4June 30, 2020 based on the workgroup's recommendations.
5    (d) For purposes of credentialing the mental health

10treatment team shall qualify all members of the treatment team
11to be credentialed with the insurer.
12    (e) Payment for the services performed under the treatment
13models listed in this Section shall be based on a bundled
14treatment model or payment, rather than payment for each
15separate service delivered by a treatment team member. By no
16later than 6 months after January 1, 2020 (the effective date
17of Public Act 101-461) this amendatory Act of the 101st General
18Assembly, the Department of Insurance shall convene a workgroup
19of Illinois insurance companies and Illinois mental health
20treatment providers that deliver the bundled treatment
21approaches listed in this Section to determine a coding
22solution that allows for these bundled treatment models to be
23coded and paid for as a bundle of services, similar to
24intensive outpatient treatment where multiple services are
25covered under one billing code or a bundled set of billing
26codes. The coding solution shall ensure that services delivered

 

 

HB5764- 1177 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1using coordinated specialty care for first episode psychosis
2treatment, ACT, or CST are provided and billed as a bundled
3service, rather than for each individual service provided by a
4treatment team member, which would deconstruct the
5evidence-based practice. The coding solution shall be reached
6prior to coverage, which shall begin for plans amended,
7delivered, issued, or renewed after December 31, 2020, to
8ensure coverage of the treatment team approaches as intended by
9this Section.
10    (f) If, at any time, the Secretary of the United States
11Department of Health and Human Services, or its successor
12agency, adopts rules or regulations to be published in the
13Federal Register or publishes a comment in the Federal Register
14or issues an opinion, guidance, or other action that would
15require the State, under any provision of the Patient
16Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), including,
17but not limited to, 42 U.S.C. 18031(d)(3)(b), or any successor
18provision, to defray the cost of any coverage for serious
19mental illnesses or serious emotional disturbances outlined in
20this Section, then the requirement that a group or individual
21policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan
22cover the bundled treatment approaches listed in this Section
23is inoperative other than any such coverage authorized under
24Section 1902 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1396a, and
25the State shall not assume any obligation for the cost of the
26coverage.

3Insurance shall contract with an independent third party with
4expertise in analyzing health insurance premiums and costs to
5perform an independent analysis of the impact coverage of the
6team-based treatment models listed in this Section has had on
7insurance premiums in Illinois. If premiums increased by more
8than 1% annually solely due to coverage of these treatment
9models, coverage of these models shall no longer be required.

12state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit
13wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another
14state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is in
15revocation proceedings in another state. The organization
16licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance deposit
17wagering licensee under this subsection (g) pertains to wagers
18placed from within Illinois. Advance deposit wagering
19licensees may place advance deposit wagering terminals at
20wagering facilities as a convenience to customers. The advance
21deposit wagering licensee shall not charge or collect any fee
22from purses for the placement of the advance deposit wagering
23terminals. The costs and expenses of the host track and
24non-host licensees associated with interstate simulcast
25wagering, other than the interstate commission fee, shall be
26borne by the host track and all non-host licensees incurring

 

 

HB5764- 1289 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1these costs. The interstate commission fee shall not exceed 5%
2of Illinois handle on the interstate simulcast race or races
3without prior approval of the Board. The Board shall promulgate
4rules under which it may permit interstate commission fees in
5excess of 5%. The interstate commission fee and other fees
6charged by the sending racetrack, including, but not limited
7to, satellite decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the
8host track and all non-host licensees.
9    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an
10organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
11association representing the largest number of owners,
12trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
13that organization licensee's racing meeting, may maintain a
14system whereby advance deposit wagering may take place or an
15organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
16association representing the largest number of owners,
17trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
18that organization licensee's racing meeting, may contract with
19another person to carry out a system of advance deposit
20wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Only
21with respect to an appeal to the Board that consent for an
22organization licensee that maintains its own advance deposit
23wagering system is being unreasonably withheld, the Board shall
24issue a final order within 30 days after initiation of the
25appeal, and the organization licensee's advance deposit
26wagering system may remain operational during that 30-day

1period. The actions of any organization licensee who conducts
2advance deposit wagering or any person who has a contract with
3an organization licensee to conduct advance deposit wagering
4who conducts advance deposit wagering on or after January 1,
52013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective date of Public
6Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made to this
7subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby validated,
8provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel taxes are
9remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers placed from
10within Illinois must be placed through a Board-approved advance
11deposit wagering licensee; no other entity may accept an
12advance deposit wager from a person within Illinois. All
13advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules adopted by the
14Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to regulate advance
15deposit wagering through the use of emergency rulemaking in
16accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative
17Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that the adoption of
18rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is deemed an
19emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
20welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may retain all
21moneys as agreed to by contract with an organization licensee.
22Any moneys retained by the organization licensee from advance
23deposit wagering, not including moneys retained by the advance
24deposit wagering licensee, shall be paid 50% to the
25organization licensee's purse account and 50% to the
26organization licensee. With the exception of any organization

2incorporated in a state other than Illinois and advance deposit
3wagering licensees under contract with such organization
4licensees, organization licensees that maintain advance
5deposit wagering systems and advance deposit wagering
6licensees that contract with organization licensees shall
7provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
8horsemen association representing the largest number of
9owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
10horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
11the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
12the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the
13horsemen association's affiliated organization licensee from
14advance deposit wagering. If more than one breed races at the
15same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid
16to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
17among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
18that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
19number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that
20race track facility in the current calendar year. To the extent
21any fees from advance deposit wagering conducted in Illinois
22for wagers in Illinois or other states have been placed in
23escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
24determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
25action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the
26disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.

1        (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
2    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
3    supplement the host track simulcast program with
4    additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
5    between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
6    year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
7    occurring in Illinois during this period, only
8    thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
9    simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for a
10    supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that the
11    simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing. A
12    supplemental interstate simulcast may be transmitted from
13    an inter-track wagering licensee to its affiliated
14    non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for a
15    supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by the
16    non-host licensee and its affiliated non-host licensees
17    receiving the simulcast.
18        (2) Between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. an
19    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
20    receive supplemental interstate simulcasts only with the
21    consent of the host track, except when the Board finds that
22    the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
23    racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
24    inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
25    all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for
26    the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all

2        (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
3    wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
4    applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
5    17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
6    pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
7    racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
8    race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
9    the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
10    the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
11    subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
12    the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
13    subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
14    shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on simulcast
15    wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation Fund, subject
16    to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (11) of
17    subsection (h) of Section 26 of this Act.
18        (4) A licensee who receives an interstate simulcast may
19    combine its gross or net pools with pools at the sending
20    racetracks pursuant to rules established by the Board. All
21    licensees combining their gross pools at a sending
22    racetrack shall adopt the takeout percentages of the
23    sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a separate
24    pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes on races
25    conducted at race tracks outside of the State of Illinois.
26    The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers placed in other

 

 

HB5764- 1294 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    states or countries to be combined with its gross or net
2    wagering pools or other wagering pools.

5    interstate simulcast, which shall be paid by the host track
6    and by each non-host licensee through the host track) and
7    all applicable State and local taxes, except as provided in
8    subsection (g) of Section 27 of this Act, the remainder of
9    moneys retained from simulcast wagering pursuant to this
10    subsection (g), and Section 26.2 shall be divided as
11    follows:
12            (A) For interstate simulcast wagers made at a host
13        track, 50% to the host track and 50% to purses at the
14        host track.
15            (B) For wagers placed on interstate simulcast
16        races, supplemental simulcasts as defined in
17        subparagraphs (1) and (2), and separately pooled races
18        conducted outside of the State of Illinois made at a
19        non-host licensee, 25% to the host track, 25% to the
20        non-host licensee, and 50% to the purses at the host
21        track.
22        (6) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act to the
23    contrary, non-host licensees who derive their licenses
24    from a track located in a county with a population in
25    excess of 230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River
26    may receive supplemental interstate simulcast races at all

 

 

HB5764- 1295 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    times subject to Board approval, which shall be withheld
2    only upon a finding that a supplemental interstate
3    simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing.

5    provision of this Act to the contrary, after payment of all
6    applicable State and local taxes and interstate commission
7    fees, non-host licensees who derive their licenses from a
8    track located in a county with a population in excess of
9    230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River shall retain
10    50% of the retention from interstate simulcast wagers and
11    shall pay 50% to purses at the track from which the
12    non-host licensee derives its license.

14    to the contrary, if no standardbred racing is conducted at
15    a racetrack located in Madison County during any calendar
16    year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, all moneys
17    derived by that racetrack from simulcast wagering and
18    inter-track wagering that (1) are to be used for purses and
19    (2) are generated between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30
20    a.m. during that calendar year shall be paid as follows:
21            (A) If the licensee that conducts horse racing at
22        that racetrack requests from the Board at least as many
23        racing dates as were conducted in calendar year 2000,

6    standardbred race meetings concurrently between the hours
7    of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., after payment of all applicable
8    State and local taxes and interstate commission fees, the
9    remainder of the amount retained from simulcast wagering
10    otherwise attributable to the host track and to host track
11    purses shall be split daily between the 2 organization
12    licensees and the purses at the tracks of the 2
13    organization licensees, respectively, based on each

22        (12) The Board shall have authority to compel all host
23    tracks to receive the simulcast of any or all races
24    conducted at the Springfield or DuQuoin State fairgrounds
25    and include all such races as part of their simulcast

HB5764- 1299 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (13) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
2    in the event that the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
3    Illinois horse races at all wagering facilities in any
4    calendar year is less than 75% of the total Illinois
5    pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races at all such
6    wagering facilities for calendar year 1994, then each
7    wagering facility that has an annual total Illinois
8    pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races that is less
9    than 75% of the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
10    Illinois horse races at such wagering facility for calendar
11    year 1994, shall be permitted to receive, from any amount
12    otherwise payable to the purse account at the race track
13    with which the wagering facility is affiliated in the
14    succeeding calendar year, an amount equal to 2% of the
15    differential in total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
16    Illinois horse races at the wagering facility between that
17    calendar year in question and 1994 provided, however, that
18    a wagering facility shall not be entitled to any such
19    payment until the Board certifies in writing to the
20    wagering facility the amount to which the wagering facility
21    is entitled and a schedule for payment of the amount to the

24    during the succeeding year; (ii) the sums available or
25    anticipated to be available in the purse account of the
26    race track affiliated with the wagering facility for purses

 

 

HB5764- 1300 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    during the succeeding year; and (iii) the need to ensure
2    reasonable purse levels during the payment period. The
3    Board's certification shall be provided no later than

5    facility entitled to a payment under this paragraph (13) is
6    affiliated with a race track that maintains purse accounts
7    for both standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the amount
8    to be paid to the wagering facility shall be divided
9    between each purse account pro rata, based on the amount of
10    Illinois handle on Illinois standardbred and thoroughbred
11    racing respectively at the wagering facility during the
12    previous calendar year. Annually, the General Assembly
13    shall appropriate sufficient funds from the General
14    Revenue Fund to the Department of Agriculture for payment
15    into the thoroughbred and standardbred horse racing purse
16    accounts at Illinois pari-mutuel tracks. The amount paid to
17    each purse account shall be the amount certified by the
18    Illinois Racing Board in January to be transferred from
19    each account to each eligible racing facility in accordance
20    with the provisions of this Section. Beginning in the
21    calendar year in which an organization licensee that is
22    eligible to receive payment under this paragraph (13)
23    begins to receive funds from gaming pursuant to an
24    organization gaming license issued under the Illinois
25    Gambling Act, the amount of the payment due to all wagering
26    facilities licensed under that organization licensee under

 

 

HB5764- 1301 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    this paragraph (13) shall be the amount certified by the
2    Board in January of that year. An organization licensee and
3    its related wagering facilities shall no longer be able to
4    receive payments under this paragraph (13) beginning in the
5    year subsequent to the first year in which the organization
6    licensee begins to receive funds from gaming pursuant to an
7    organization gaming license issued under the Illinois
8    Gambling Act.

17    of 30 or more days of racing were conducted annually may be
18    issued an inter-track wagering license; (ii) at a track

4    an agreement between the organization licensee and the
5    associations representing the largest number of owners,
6    trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses

8    finding by the Board of extraordinary circumstances and
9    that it was in the best interest of the public and the
10    sport to conduct fewer than 100 days of live racing. Any
11    such person having operating control of the racing facility
12    may receive inter-track wagering location licenses. An
13    eligible race track located in a county that has a

12    applicant. All such applications shall be acted upon by the
13    Board at a meeting to be held on such date as may be fixed
14    by the Board.
15        (3) In granting licenses to conduct inter-track
16    wagering and simulcast wagering, the Board shall give due
17    consideration to the best interests of the public, of horse
18    racing, and of maximizing revenue to the State.
19        (4) Prior to the issuance of a license to conduct
20    inter-track wagering and simulcast wagering, the applicant
21    shall file with the Board a bond payable to the State of

7    the track or location where the wagering is to be
8    conducted.
9        (6) All wagering under such license is subject to this
10    Act and to the rules and regulations from time to time
11    prescribed by the Board, and every such license issued by
12    the Board shall contain a recital to that effect.

3    the current year, unless the person having operating
4    control of such race track has given its written consent to
5    such inter-track wagering location licensees, which
6    consent must be filed with the Board at or prior to the
7    time application is made. In the case of any inter-track
8    wagering location licensee initially licensed after
9    December 31, 2013, inter-track wagering and simulcast

3    issued organization licenses in both the allocation year
4    and the preceding year) multiplied by the total amount
5    allocated for standardbred or thoroughbred purses,
6    provided that the first $1,500,000 of the amount allocated
7    to standardbred purses under item (i) shall be allocated to
8    the Department of Agriculture to be expended with the
9    assistance and advice of the Illinois Standardbred
10    Breeders Funds Advisory Board for the purposes listed in
11    subsection (g) of Section 31 of this Act, before the amount
12    allocated to standardbred purses under item (i) is
13    allocated to standardbred organization licensees in the
14    succeeding allocation year.
15    To the extent the excess amount of taxes and fees to be
16collected and distributed to State and local governmental
17authorities exceeds $11 million, that excess amount shall be
18collected and distributed to State and local authorities as
19provided for under this Act.

10        enforcement officials, including, without limitation,
11        the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
12        of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
13        (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of

15    alcohol compliance operations to investigate whether
16    businesses that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine
17    from inside or outside of this State directly to residents

1    Tax and Trade Bureau.
2        (17)(A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
3    of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
4    this Act and annually produces less than 25,000 gallons of
5    wine or a person who has a first-class or second-class wine
6    manufacturer's license, a first-class or second-class
7    wine-maker's license, or a limited wine manufacturer's
8    license under this Act and annually produces less than
9    25,000 gallons of wine may make application to the
10    Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the
11    sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption
12    holder's wine to retail licensees per year.
13        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
14    penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it
15    was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for
16    each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to
17    establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
18    self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
19    marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
20    liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
21    and any other state where it is licensed.
22        (C) The State Commission shall approve the application
23    for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in
24    compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a
25    member of any affiliated group that produces more than
26    25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other

 

 

HB5764- 1410 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale
2    more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually
3    sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail
4    licensees.
5        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
6    annually certify to the State Commission its production of
7    wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
8    production and sales for the next 12 months. The State
9    Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
10    self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
11    that the exemption holder has made a material
12    misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
13    or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000
14    gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part of an
15    affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons of wine
16    or any other alcoholic liquor.
17        (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
18    Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
19    sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or
20    its agents, the State Commission shall maintain the
21    production and sales information of a self-distribution
22    exemption holder as confidential and shall not release such
23    information to any person.
24        (F) The State Commission shall issue regulations
25    governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
26    this Section and this Act.

 

 

HB5764- 1411 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (G) Nothing in this paragraph (17) shall prohibit a
2    self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
3    simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
4    licensed Illinois distributor.
5        (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
6    and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
7    that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
8    distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
9    for smaller makers of wine as their wines are frequently
10    adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and taste to find
11    and create market niches sometimes too small for
12    distributor or importing distributor business strategies.
13    Limited self-distribution rights will afford and allow
14    smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace in order
15    to develop a customer base without impairing the integrity
16    of the 3-tier system.
17        (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
18    either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
19    and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,
20    may make application to the State Commission for a
21    self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
22    than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer per
23    year to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
24    and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
25    Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and
26    cider to non-licensees at their breweries.

 

 

HB5764- 1412 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
2    penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state
3    (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer
4    manufactured and sold for each year since its
5    establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
6    relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
7    necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
8    that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue
9    laws of the United States, this State, and any other state
10    where it is licensed.
11        (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
12    State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
13    by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
14    the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
15    class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the
16    State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a
17    member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than
18    930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
19    alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture
20    for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not
21    annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to
22    retail licensees or to brewers, class 1 brewers, and class
23    2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4
24    of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and cider to
25    non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
26    any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any

 

 

HB5764- 1413 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
2        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
3    annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
4    beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
5    manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
6    State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
7    self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
8    that the exemption holder has made a material
9    misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
10    or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
11    manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year
12    or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more
13    than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic
14    beverage.
15        (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
16    regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
17    consistent with this Act.
18        (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
19    self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
20    simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
21    licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
22    If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
23    distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
24    rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the
25    self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights
26    in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable

 

 

HB5764- 1414 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    time not to exceed 60 days.
2        (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
3    and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
4    that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
5    distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
6    for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
7    smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in
8    order to develop a customer base without impairing the
9    integrity of the 3-tier system.
10        (19)(A) A class 1 craft distiller licensee or a
11    non-resident dealer who manufactures less than 50,000
12    gallons of distilled spirits per year may make application
13    to the State Commission for a self-distribution exemption
14    to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the
15    exemption holder's spirits to retail licensees per year.
16        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
17    penalty of perjury, the class 1 craft distiller licensee or
18    non-resident dealer shall state (1) the date it was
19    established; (2) its volume of spirits manufactured and
20    sold for each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts

23    marketing of its spirits; and (5) that it will comply with
24    the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the United
25    States, this State, and any other state where it is
26    licensed.

 

 

HB5764- 1415 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
2    State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
3    by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
4    the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
5    applicant: (1) is in compliance with State revenue and
6    alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a member of any
7    affiliated group that produces more than 50,000 gallons of
8    spirits per annum or produces any other alcoholic liquor;
9    (3) does not annually manufacture for sale more than 50,000
10    gallons of spirits; and (4) does not annually sell more
11    than 5,000 gallons of its spirits to retail licensees.
12        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
13    annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
14    spirits during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
15    manufacture and sales of spirits for the next 12 months.
16    The State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
17    self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
18    that the exemption holder has made a material
19    misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
20    or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
21    manufacture of 50,000 gallons of spirits in any calendar
22    year, or has become part of an affiliated group
23    manufacturing more than 50,000 gallons of spirits or any
24    other alcoholic beverage.
25        (E) The State Commission shall adopt rules governing
26    self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Act.

8    distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
9    for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
10    smaller manufacturers of spirits access to the marketplace
11    in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
12    integrity of the 3-tier system.
13    (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
14present a written report to the Governor and the General
15Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public
16Act 90-739 on the business of soliciting, selling, and shipping
17alcoholic liquor from outside of this State directly to
18residents of this State.
19    As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
20following information:
21        (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues

19    following revenue codes: 0274 to 0276, 0278; or (ii) are
20    assigned with one of the following EAPGs: 430 to 441, 443,
21    444, 460 to 465, 495, 496, 1090. The add-on payment shall
22    be calculated as follows: the claim line's covered charges
23    multiplied by the hospital's total acute cost to charge
24    ratio, less the claim line's EAPG payment plus $1,000,
25    multiplied by 0.8.

1    access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
2    pool of at least $262,906,870 annually and make hospital
3    transformation payments to hospitals. Subject to Section
4    5A-16, in State fiscal years 2019 and 2020, an Illinois
5    hospital that received either a transitional hospital
6    access payment under subsection (d) or a supplemental
7    payment under subsection (f) of this Section in State
8    fiscal year 2018, shall receive a hospital transformation
9    payment as follows:
10            (A) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
11        inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
12        45%, the hospital transformation payment shall be
13        equal to 100% of the sum of its transitional hospital
14        access payment authorized under subsection (d) and any
15        supplemental payment authorized under subsection (f).

4    the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
5    access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
6    pool annually and make hospital transformation payments to
7    hospitals participating in the transformation program. Any
8    hospital may seek transformation funding in Phase 2. Any
9    hospital that seeks transformation funding in Phase 2 to
10    update or repurpose the hospital's physical structure to
11    transition to a new delivery model, must submit to the
12    Department in writing a transformation plan, based on the
13    Department's guidelines, that describes the desired
14    delivery model with projections of patient volumes by
15    service lines and projected revenues, expenses, and net
16    income that correspond to the new delivery model. In Phase
17    2, subject to the approval of rules, the Department may use
18    the hospital transformation pool to increase base rates,
19    develop new adjustors, adjust current adjustors, or
20    develop new access payments in order to support and
21    incentivize hospitals to pursue such transformation. In
22    developing such methodologies, the Department shall ensure
23    that the entire hospital transformation pool continues to
24    be expended to ensure access to hospital services or to
25    support organizations that had received hospital
26    transformation payments under this Section.

HB5764- 1535 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1or person in loco parentis would be detrimental to the minor's
2well-being. No later than the eighth session, the service
3provider shall determine and share with the minor the service
4provider's decision as described below:
5        (1) If the service provider finds that attempting to

9    is required to continue counseling services or
10    psychotherapy.
11        (2) If the minor does not permit the service provider
12    to notify the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis
13    for the purpose of consent after the eighth session the
14    service provider shall discontinue counseling services or
15    psychotherapy and shall not notify the parent, guardian, or

20    purpose of consent, without discontinuing counseling
21    services or psychotherapy, the service provider shall make
22    reasonable attempts to obtain consent. The service
23    provider shall document each attempt to obtain consent in

5        and
6            (B) the service provider has obtained the minor's
7        written consent.
8        (4) If, after the eighth session, the service provider
9    of counseling services or psychotherapy determines that
10    obtaining consent would be detrimental to the minor's
11    well-being, the service provider shall consult with his or
12    her supervisor when possible to review and authorize the
13    determination under subsection (a) of this Section. The
14    service provider shall document the basis for the
15    determination in the minor's clinical record and may then
16    accept the minor's written consent to continue to provide
17    counseling services or psychotherapy without also
18    obtaining the consent of a parent, guardian, or person in
19    loco parentis.
20        (5) If the minor continues to receive counseling
21    services or psychotherapy without the consent of a parent,
22    guardian, or person in loco parentis beyond 8 sessions, the
23    service provider shall evaluate, in consultation with his
24    or her supervisor when possible, his or her determination
25    under this subsection (a), and review the determination

2    appropriate to notify the parent, guardian, or person in
3    loco parentis and the minor consents, the service provider
4    shall proceed under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
5    Section.
6        (6) When counseling services or psychotherapy are
7    related to allegations of neglect, sexual abuse, or mental
8    or physical abuse by the minor's parent, guardian, or
9    person in loco parentis, obtaining consent of that parent,
10    guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be presumed to
11    be detrimental to the minor's well-being.
12    (a-1) Each of the following factors must be present in
13order for the service provider to find that obtaining the
14consent of a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis would
15be detrimental to the minor's well-being:
16        (1) requiring the consent or notification of a parent,
17    guardian, or person in loco parentis would cause the minor
18    to reject the counseling services or psychotherapy;
19        (2) the failure to provide the counseling services or
20    psychotherapy would be detrimental to the minor's
21    well-being;
22        (3) the minor has knowingly and voluntarily sought the
23    counseling services or psychotherapy; and
24        (4) in the opinion of the service provider, the minor
25    is mature enough to participate in counseling services or
26    psychotherapy productively.

2parentis shall not be informed of the counseling services or
3psychotherapy without the written consent of the minor unless
4the service provider believes the disclosure is necessary under
5subsection (a) of this Section. If the facility director or
6service provider intends to disclose the fact of counseling
7services or psychotherapy, the minor shall be so informed and
8if the minor chooses to discontinue counseling services or
9psychotherapy after being informed of the decision of the
10facility director or service provider to disclose the fact of
11counseling services or psychotherapy to the parent, guardian,
12or person in loco parentis, then the parent, guardian, or
13person in loco parentis shall not be notified. Under the Mental
14Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
15facility director, his or her designee, or the service provider
16shall not allow the minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
17parentis, upon request, to inspect or copy the minor's record
18or any part of the record if the service provider finds that
19there are compelling reasons for denying the access. Nothing in
20this Section shall be interpreted to limit a minor's privacy
21and confidentiality protections under State law.
22    (b) The minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
23parentis shall not be liable for the costs of outpatient
24counseling services or psychotherapy which is received by the

5    groundwaters, of this State;
6        (2) a clean environment is essential to the growth and
7    well-being of this State;
8        (3) CCR generated by the electric generating industry
9    has caused groundwater contamination and other forms of
10    pollution at active and inactive plants throughout this
11    State;
12        (4) environmental laws should be supplemented to
13    ensure consistent, responsible regulation of all existing
14    CCR surface impoundments; and
15        (5) meaningful participation of State residents,
16    especially vulnerable populations who may be affected by
17    regulatory actions, is critical to ensure that
18    environmental justice considerations are incorporated in
19    the development of, decision-making related to, and
20    implementation of environmental laws and rulemaking that
21    protects and improves the well-being of communities in this
22    State that bear disproportionate burdens imposed by
23    environmental pollution.
24    Therefore, the purpose of this Section is to promote a
25healthful environment, including clean water, air, and land,
26meaningful public involvement, and the responsible disposal

11    (c) Except for those facilities owned or operated by
12sanitary districts organized under the Metropolitan Water
13Reclamation District Act, no permit for the development or
14construction of a new pollution control facility may be granted
15by the Agency unless the applicant submits proof to the Agency
16that the location of the facility has been approved by the
17county board County Board of the county if in an unincorporated
18area, or the governing body of the municipality when in an
19incorporated area, in which the facility is to be located in
20accordance with Section 39.2 of this Act. For purposes of this
21subsection (c), and for purposes of Section 39.2 of this Act,
22the appropriate county board or governing body of the
23municipality shall be the county board of the county or the
24governing body of the municipality in which the facility is to
25be located as of the date when the application for siting
26approval is filed.

1    In the event that siting approval granted pursuant to
2Section 39.2 has been transferred to a subsequent owner or
3operator, that subsequent owner or operator may apply to the
4Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development or
5construction permit for the facility for which local siting
6approval was granted. Upon application to the Agency for a
7development or construction permit by that subsequent owner or
8operator, the permit applicant shall cause written notice of
9the permit application to be served upon the appropriate county
10board or governing body of the municipality that granted siting
11approval for that facility and upon any party to the siting
12proceeding pursuant to which siting approval was granted. In
13that event, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the
14subsequent owner or operator's prior experience in waste
15management operations in the manner conducted under subsection
16(i) of Section 39 of this Act.
17    Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control
18facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal
19facility for which the proposed site is located in an
20unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than
21100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of land that
22was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality having a
23population of less than 5,000, then the local siting review
24required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with any
25permit applied for after that date shall be performed by the
26governing body of that adjacent municipality rather than the

 

 

HB5764- 1625 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1county board of the county in which the proposed site is
2located; and for the purposes of that local siting review, any
3references in this Act to the county board shall be deemed to
4mean the governing body of that adjacent municipality;
5provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall
6not apply to any proposed site which was, on April 1, 1993,
7owned in whole or in part by another municipality.
8    In the case of a pollution control facility for which a
9development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an
10operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to
11August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the
12Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor issue
13an original operating permit for any portion of such facility
14unless the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that the
15location of the facility has been approved by the appropriate
16county board or municipal governing body pursuant to Section
1739.2 of this Act.
18    After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal facility,
19any portion for which an operating permit has been issued by
20the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 or more
21consecutive calendar calendars years, before that facility may
22accept any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner and
23operator must obtain a new operating permit under this Act for
24that facility unless the owner and operator have applied to the
25Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary suspension of
26waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a new operation

 

 

HB5764- 1626 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1permit under this Act for the facility unless the applicant has
2submitted proof to the Agency that the location of the facility
3has been approved or re-approved by the appropriate county
4board or municipal governing body under Section 39.2 of this
5Act after the facility ceased accepting waste.
6    Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary
7districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
8District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities
9governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining
10facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not
11relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary
12zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning
13jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
14    Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment
15plant or sludge drying site to be owned or operated by a
16sanitary district organized under the Metropolitan Water
17Reclamation District Act for which a new permit (rather than
18the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is required,
19such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the
20municipality within which the proposed facility is to be
21located, or within the nearest community if the proposed
22facility is to be located within an unincorporated area, at
23which information concerning the proposed facility shall be
24made available to the public, and members of the public shall
25be given the opportunity to express their views concerning the
26proposed facility.

3of Section 55, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the
4prospective owner's or operator's prior experience in waste
5management operations, clean construction or demolition debris
6fill operations, and tire storage site management. The Agency
7may deny such a permit, or deny or revoke interim
8authorization, if the prospective owner or operator or any
9employee or officer of the prospective owner or operator has a
10history of:
11        (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local
12    laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the
13    operation of waste management facilities or sites, clean
14    construction or demolition debris fill operation
15    facilities or sites, or tire storage sites; or
16        (2) conviction in this or another State of any crime
17    which is a felony under the laws of this State, or
18    conviction of a felony in a federal court; or conviction in
19    this or another state or federal court of any of the

2    incompetence in using clean construction or demolition
3    debris as fill.
4    (i-5) Before issuing any permit or approving any interim
5authorization for a clean construction or demolition debris
6fill operation in which any ownership interest is transferred
7between January 1, 2005, and the effective date of the
8prohibition set forth in Section 22.52 of this Act, the Agency
9shall conduct an evaluation of the operation if any previous
10activities at the site or facility may have caused or allowed
11contamination of the site. It shall be the responsibility of
12the owner or operator seeking the permit or interim
13authorization to provide to the Agency all of the information
14necessary for the Agency to conduct its evaluation. The Agency
15may deny a permit or interim authorization if previous
16activities at the site may have caused or allowed contamination
17at the site, unless such contamination is authorized under any
18permit issued by the Agency.
19    (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in
20the surface mining of any resources other than fossil fuels
21shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply with
22any applicable local law regulating the commencement, location
23or operation of surface mining facilities.

3    Section 595. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
4changing Sections 2-31, 5-710, and 5-915 as follows:
 
5    (705 ILCS 405/2-31)  (from Ch. 37, par. 802-31)
6    Sec. 2-31. Duration of wardship and discharge of
7proceedings.
8    (1) All proceedings under Article II of this Act in respect
9of any minor automatically terminate upon his or her attaining
10the age of 21 years.
11    (2) Whenever the court determines, and makes written
12factual findings, that health, safety, and the best interests
13of the minor and the public no longer require the wardship of
14the court, the court shall order the wardship terminated and
15all proceedings under this Act respecting that minor finally
16closed and discharged. The court may at the same time continue
17or terminate any custodianship or guardianship theretofore
18ordered but the termination must be made in compliance with
19Section 2-28. When terminating wardship under this Section, if
20the minor is over 18, or if wardship is terminated in
21conjunction with an order partially or completely emancipating
22the minor in accordance with the Emancipation of Minors Act,
23the court shall also consider the following factors, in
24addition to the health, safety, and best interest of the minor

 

 

HB5764- 1710 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1and the public: (A) the minor's wishes regarding case closure;
2(B) the manner in which the minor will maintain independence
3without services from the Department; (C) the minor's
4engagement in services including placement offered by the
5Department; (D) if the minor is not engaged, the Department's
6efforts to engage the minor; (E) the nature of communication
7between the minor and the Department; (F) the minor's
8involvement in other State systems or services; (G) the minor's
9connections with family and other community support; and (H)
10any other factor the court deems relevant. The minor's lack of
11cooperation with services provided by the Department of
12Children and Family Services shall not by itself be considered
13sufficient evidence that the minor is prepared to live
14independently and that it is in the best interest of the minor
15to terminate wardship. It shall not be in the minor's best
16interest to terminate wardship of a minor over the age of 18
17who is in the guardianship of the Department of Children and
18Family Services if the Department has not made reasonable
19efforts to ensure that the minor has documents necessary for
20adult living as provided in Section 35.10 of the Children and
21Family Services Act.
22    (3) The wardship of the minor and any custodianship or
23guardianship respecting the minor for whom a petition was filed
24after July 24, 1991 (the effective date of Public Act 87-14)
25this amendatory Act of 1991 automatically terminates when he
26attains the age of 19 years, except as set forth in subsection

5effective date of Public Act 101-78) this amendatory Act of the

24        is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
25        under this subsection and who is found to be a

 

 

HB5764- 1712 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
2        a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
3        on probation;
4            (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
5        or without also being put on probation or conditional
6        discharge;
7            (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse
8        assessment conducted by a licensed provider and
9        participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
10            (iv) on and after January 1, 2015 (the effective
11        date of Public Act 98-803) this amendatory Act of the
12        98th General Assembly and before January 1, 2017,
13        placed in the guardianship of the Department of
14        Children and Family Services, but only if the
15        delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or, pursuant
16        to Article II of this Act, a minor under the age of 18
17        for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
18        dependency exists. On and after January 1, 2017, placed

20        Family Services, but only if the delinquent minor is
21        under 15 years of age or, pursuant to Article II of
22        this Act, a minor for whom an independent basis of
23        abuse, neglect, or dependency exists. An independent
24        basis exists when the allegations or adjudication of
25        abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from the
26        same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise

 

 

HB5764- 1713 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        to a charge or adjudication of delinquency;
2            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
3        30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
4        or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
5        order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
6        provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
7        detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
8        years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
9        may be extended by further order of the court for a
10        minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
11        Children and Family Services if the court finds that
12        the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
13        shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
14        detention for time spent in detention under Sections
15        5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
16        result of the offense for which the sentencing order
17        was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
18        order of detention entered under a violation of
19        probation or violation of conditional discharge under
20        Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
21        detention before the filing of the petition alleging
22        the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
23        for time spent in detention before the filing of a
24        violation of probation or conditional discharge
25        alleging the same or related act or acts. The
26        limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a

 

 

HB5764- 1714 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
2            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
3        petition of delinquency filed against them may be
4        confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
5        determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
6        age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed
7        against the person, these factors, among other
8        matters, shall be considered:
9                (A) the age of the person;
10                (B) any previous delinquent or criminal
11            history of the person;
12                (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of
13            the person;
14                (D) any mental health history of the person;
15            and
16                (E) any educational history of the person;
17            (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
18        in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
19        of Minors Act;
20            (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
21        or driving privileges suspended for such time as
22        determined by the court but only until he or she
23        attains 18 years of age;
24            (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
25        and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the

10        detention under Part 7A of this Article.
11        (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
12    Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
13    minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
14    provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
15    Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
16    a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
17    include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
18    minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified
19    Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in
20    custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
21    guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
22    time spent in custody.
23        (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
24    which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
25    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
26    Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the

4    Department of Human Services.
5    (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
6Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
7supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of

10does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
11but is subject to modification until final closing and

19The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
20ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
21the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility

15residential facility where the minor has been placed by the
16court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational
17services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
18School Code.
19    (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
20Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
21of that period for which an adult could be committed for the

1the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
2envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
3order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
4in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
5public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
6whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
7shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
8with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
9also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
10victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's
11parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's
12parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for
13infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
14court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
15testing and counseling at the Department of Public Health
16facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
17are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
18shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
19the minor.
20    (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
21shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
22make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
23related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
24organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
25allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
26subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961

 

 

HB5764- 1721 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1or the Criminal Code of 2012, a violation of any Section of
2Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
32012, or a violation of any statute that involved the wrongful
4use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
5affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to the
6Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the minor
7to perform community service for not less than 30 hours nor
8more than 120 hours, provided that community service is
9available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
10county board of the county where the offense was committed. The
11community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
12the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
13Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
14Code of 2012 and similar damage to property located in the
15municipality or county in which the violation occurred. When
16possible and reasonable, the community service shall be
17performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
18addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
19for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
20Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
21Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
22Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
23Prevention Act.
24    (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed
25in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
26as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved

 

 

HB5764- 1722 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
2driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
3Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
4which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
5time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
6license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
7not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
818th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit
9at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that
10the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until
11his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence
12determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license
13at the time of the determination, the court may direct the
14Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving
15permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the
16same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the
17Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that
18the JDP be effective immediately.

16court which renders judgment upon such charge shall, within 30
17days after such judgment, conduct a forfeiture hearing to
18determine whether such property was a gambling device at the
19time of seizure. Such hearing shall be commenced by a written
20petition by the State, including material allegations of fact,
21the name and address of every person determined by the State to
22have any property interest in the seized property, a
23representation that written notice of the date, time and place
24of such hearing has been mailed to every such person by

14that a defendant raises the defense that the seized slot
15machine is an antique slot machine described in subparagraph
16(b) (7) of Section 28-1 of this Code and therefore he is exempt
17from the charge of a gambling activity participant, the seized
18antique slot machine shall not be destroyed or otherwise
19altered until a final determination is made by the Court as to
20whether it is such an antique slot machine. Upon a final
21determination by the Court of this question in favor of the
22defendant, such slot machine shall be immediately returned to
23the defendant. Such order of forfeiture and disposition shall,
24for the purposes of appeal, be a final order and judgment in a
25civil proceeding.

19        denies the assertion of the right or denies the request
20        for enforcement of a right, the victim or victim's
21        attorney may file a motion to assert the victim's right
22        or to request enforcement of the right within 10 days
23        of the court's ruling. The motion need not demonstrate
24        the grounds for a motion for reconsideration. The court
25        shall rule on the merits of the motion.
26            (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion

 

 

HB5764- 1805 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
2        victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
3        period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
4        for any decision denying the motion or request shall be
5        clearly stated on the record.
6        (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
7            (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
8        has been violated, the court shall determine the
9        appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
10        right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
11        considering all factors relevant to the issue, and then
12        awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
13            (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
14        nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
15        or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
16        labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
17        violation of a victim's right.
18            (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
19        actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
20        which the victim was entitled and may include reopening
21        previously held proceedings; however, in no event
22        shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
23        be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate remedy
24        without violating any constitutional right of the
25        defendant. In no event shall the appropriate remedy be
26        a new trial, damages, or costs.

 

 

HB5764- 1806 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
2    to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
3    the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
4        (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
5    motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
6    prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
7    specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
8    constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
9    offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
10    30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
11    forth on the record the facts that support its finding that
12    the victim's testimony will be materially affected if the
13    victim hears other testimony at trial.
14        (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
15    at court proceedings.
16            (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
17        witness at trial must seek permission of the court
18        before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
19        written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
20        forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
21        testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding (i)
22        the content of the anticipated testimony of the
23        advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
24        materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
25        shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
26        days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by

 

 

HB5764- 1807 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
2        anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
3        privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
4        relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
5        not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
6        court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
7        appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
8        prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
9        to seek appellate review before the advocate is
10        required to testify at an ex parte in camera
11        proceeding.
12            The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
13        advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
14        the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after conducting
15        the ex parte in camera hearing, the court determines
16        that due process requires any testimony regarding
17        confidential or privileged information or
18        communications, the court shall provide to the
19        prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
20        attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
21        advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
22        victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
23        to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
24        issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
25        presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte in
26        camera proceeding does not make the substance of the

 

 

HB5764- 1808 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
2        inadmissible subject to discovery.
3            (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
4        support person present at the court proceedings, the
5        victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
6        has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
7        prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
8        prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
9        defendant. If the defendant intends to call the support
10        person as a witness at trial, the defendant must seek
11        permission of the court before a subpoena is issued.
12        The defendant must file a written motion at least 45
13        days prior to trial that sets forth specifically the
14        issues on which the support person will testify and an
15        offer of proof regarding: (i) the content of the
16        anticipated testimony of the support person; and (ii)
17        the relevance, admissibility, and materiality of the
18        anticipated testimony.
19            If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
20        support person as a witness during the State's
21        case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
22        the court of this intent in the response to the
23        defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
24        different person to be the victim's support person. The
25        court may allow the defendant to inquire about matters
26        outside the scope of the direct examination during

 

 

HB5764- 1809 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        cross-examination. If the court allows the defendant
2        to do so, the support person shall be allowed to remain
3        in the courtroom after the support person has
4        testified. A defendant who fails to question the
5        support person about matters outside the scope of
6        direct examination during the State's case-in-chief
7        waives the right to challenge the presence of the
8        support person on appeal. The court shall allow the
9        support person to testify if called as a witness in the
10        defendant's case-in-chief or the State's rebuttal.
11            If the court does not allow the defendant to
12        inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
13        examination, the support person shall be allowed to
14        remain in the courtroom after the support person has
15        been called by the defendant or the defendant has
16        rested. The court shall allow the support person to
17        testify in the State's rebuttal.
18            If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to call
19        the support person in the State's case-in-chief, the
20        court shall verify with the support person whether the
21        support person, if called as a witness, would testify
22        as set forth in the offer of proof. If the court finds
23        that the support person would testify as set forth in
24        the offer of proof, the court shall rule on the
25        relevance, materiality, and admissibility of the
26        anticipated testimony. If the court rules the

 

 

HB5764- 1810 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
2        issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
3        the courtroom after the support person testifies and
4        shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
5            If the court excludes the victim's support person
6        during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
7        allowed to choose another support person to be present
8        in court.
9            If the victim fails to designate a support person
10        within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
11        subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
12        court may exclude the support person from the trial
13        until the support person testifies. If the court
14        excludes the support person the victim may choose
15        another person as a support person.
16        (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
17    confidential or privileged information or records. A
18    defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
19    the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
20    seek permission of the court before the subpoena is issued.
21    The defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
22    proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
23    materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
24    preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are not
25    protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
26    contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that

 

 

HB5764- 1811 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
2    court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of the
3    records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in camera.
4    If, after conducting an in camera review of the records,
5    the court determines that due process requires disclosure
6    of any portion of the records, the court shall provide
7    copies of what it intends to disclose to the prosecuting
8    attorney and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
9    victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review before
10    the records are disclosed to the defendant. The disclosure
11    of copies of any portion of the records to the prosecuting
12    attorney does not make the records subject to discovery.
13        (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
14    victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
15    right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
16    prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of the
17    time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and that
18    the victim had a right to be heard at the court proceeding.
19    If the court determines that timely notice was not given or
20    that the victim was not adequately informed of the nature
21    of the court proceeding, the court shall not rule on any
22    substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a sentence and
23    shall continue the hearing for the time necessary to notify
24    the victim of the time, place and nature of the court
25    proceeding. The time between court proceedings shall not be
26    attributable to the State under Section 103-5 of the Code

 

 

HB5764- 1812 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
2        (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
3    has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
4    minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
5    from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling on
6    a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, the
7    court shall inquire into the circumstances for the request
8    for the delay and, if the victim has provided written
9    notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
10    disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
11    If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
12    court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has not
13    conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
14    prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
15    confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
16    to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
17    victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
18    prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
19    confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
20    the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
21    continuance, the number and length of continuances that
22    have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
23    to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
24    the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
25    record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
26    that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.

 

 

HB5764- 1813 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (12) Right to Restitution.
2            (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
3        restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
4        the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
5        judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
6            (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
7        restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
8        at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, within
9        5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
10        information and documentation related to restitution
11        is needed and that the information and documentation
12        must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days after
13        sentencing. Failure to timely provide information and
14        documentation related to restitution shall be deemed a
15        waiver of the right to restitution. The prosecutor
16        shall file and serve within 60 days after sentencing a
17        proposed judgment for restitution and a notice that
18        includes information concerning the identity of any
19        victims or other persons seeking restitution, whether
20        any victim or other person expressly declines
21        restitution, the nature and amount of any damages
22        together with any supporting documentation, a
23        restitution amount recommendation, and the names of
24        any co-defendants and their case numbers. Within 30
25        days after receipt of the proposed judgment for
26        restitution, the defendant shall file any objection to

 

 

HB5764- 1814 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        the proposed judgment, a statement of grounds for the
2        objection, and a financial statement. If the defendant
3        does not file an objection, the court may enter the
4        judgment for restitution without further proceedings.
5        If the defendant files an objection and either party
6        requests a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing.
7        (13) Access to presentence reports.
8            (A) The victim may request a copy of the
9        presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
10        Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
11        Attorney shall redact the following information before
12        providing a copy of the report:
13                (i) the defendant's mental history and
14            condition;
15                (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
16            (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
17                (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
18            other personal information about any other victim.
19            (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
20        request the court redact other information in the
21        report that may endanger the safety of any person.
22            (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to the
23        victim any of the information that has been redacted if
24        there is a reasonable likelihood that the information
25        will be stated in court at the sentencing.
26            (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim

 

 

HB5764- 1815 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
2        the report and other information. Any dissemination of
3        the report or information that was not stated at a
4        court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
5        contempt of court.
6        (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
7    relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or the
8    prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days of
9    the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court may
10    stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a stay
11    would not violate a constitutional right of the defendant.
12    If the appellate court denies the relief sought, the
13    reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated in a written
14    opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the State may
15    assert as error the court's denial of any crime victim's
16    right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.
17        (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
18    an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
19    violation of a victim's right.
20        (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
21    accused throughout the criminal justice process and the
22    right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
23    family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
24    determining whether to release the defendant, and setting
25    conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A victim
26    of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking may

 

 

HB5764- 1816 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    request the entry of a protective order under Article 112A
2    of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
3    (d) Procedures after the imposition of sentence.
4        (1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or
5    any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the
6    prisoner's release on parole, mandatory supervised
7    release, electronic detention, work release, international
8    transfer or exchange, or by the custodian, other than the
9    Department of Juvenile Justice, of the discharge of any
10    individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime
11    from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate
12    county of any such person's final discharge from county
13    custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request,
14    shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a
15    recent photograph of any person convicted of a felony, upon
16    his or her release from custody. The Prisoner Review Board,
17    upon written request, shall inform a victim or any other
18    concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days prior to
19    the prisoner's release on furlough of the times and dates
20    of such furlough. Upon written request by the victim or any
21    other concerned citizen, the State's Attorney shall notify
22    the person once of the times and dates of release of a
23    prisoner sentenced to periodic imprisonment. Notification
24    shall be based on the most recent information as to
25    victim's or other concerned citizen's residence or other
26    location available to the notifying authority.

 

 

HB5764- 1817 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (2) When the defendant has been committed to the
2    Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or
3    any other provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, the
4    victim may request to be notified by the releasing
5    authority of the approval by the court of an on-grounds
6    pass, a supervised off-grounds pass, an unsupervised
7    off-grounds pass, or conditional release; the release on an
8    off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass;
9    transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape;
10    death; or final discharge from State custody. The
11    Department of Human Services shall establish and maintain a
12    statewide telephone number to be used by victims to make
13    notification requests under these provisions and shall
14    publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
15    State's Attorney of each county.
16        (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
17    Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile
18    Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board
19    of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify
20    the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most
21    recent information as to the victim's residence or other
22    location available to the Board. When no such information
23    is available, the Board shall make all reasonable efforts
24    to obtain the information and make the notification. When
25    the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections
26    or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall

 

 

HB5764- 1818 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall notify
2    the victim.
3        (4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has
4    been sentenced has the right to register with the Prisoner
5    Review Board's victim registry. Victims registered with
6    the Board shall receive reasonable written notice not less
7    than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target
8    aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit
9    a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review
10    Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice in writing, on
11    film, videotape, or other electronic means, or in the form
12    of a recording prior to the parole hearing or target
13    aftercare release date, or in person at the parole hearing
14    or aftercare release protest hearing, or by calling the
15    toll-free number established in subsection (f) of this
16    Section., The victim shall be notified within 7 days after
17    the prisoner has been granted parole or aftercare release
18    and shall be informed of the right to inspect the registry
19    of parole decisions, established under subsection (g) of
20    Section 3-3-5 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The
21    provisions of this paragraph (4) are subject to the Open
22    Parole Hearings Act. Victim statements provided to the
23    Board shall be confidential and privileged, including any
24    statements received prior to January 1, 2020 (the effective
25    date of Public Act 101-288) this amendatory Act of the
26    101st General Assembly, except if the statement was an oral

1    statement made by the victim at a hearing open to the
2    public.
3        (4-1) The crime victim has the right to submit a victim
4    statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review Board or
5    the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to or at a hearing
6    to determine the conditions of mandatory supervised
7    release of a person sentenced to a determinate sentence or
8    at a hearing on revocation of mandatory supervised release
9    of a person sentenced to a determinate sentence. A victim
10    statement may be submitted in writing, on film, videotape,
11    or other electronic means, or in the form of a recording,
12    or orally at a hearing, or by calling the toll-free number
13    established in subsection (f) of this Section. Victim
14    statements provided to the Board shall be confidential and
15    privileged, including any statements received prior to
16    January 1, 2020 (the effective date of Public Act 101-288)
17    this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly, except
18    if the statement was an oral statement made by the victim
19    at a hearing open to the public.
20        (4-2) The crime victim has the right to submit a victim
21    statement to the Prisoner Review Board for consideration at
22    an executive clemency hearing as provided in Section 3-3-13
23    of the Unified Code of Corrections. A victim statement may
24    be submitted in writing, on film, videotape, or other
25    electronic means, or in the form of a recording prior to a
26    hearing, or orally at a hearing, or by calling the

 

 

HB5764- 1820 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    toll-free number established in subsection (f) of this
2    Section. Victim statements provided to the Board shall be
3    confidential and privileged, including any statements
4    received prior to January 1, 2020 (the effective date of
5    Public Act 101-288) this amendatory Act of the 101st
6    General Assembly, except if the statement was an oral
7    statement made by the victim at a hearing open to the
8    public.
9        (5) If a statement is presented under Section 6, the
10    Prisoner Review Board or Department of Juvenile Justice
11    shall inform the victim of any order of discharge pursuant
12    to Section 3-2.5-85 or 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of
13    Corrections.
14        (6) At the written or oral request of the victim of the
15    crime for which the prisoner was sentenced or the State's
16    Attorney of the county where the person seeking parole or
17    aftercare release was prosecuted, the Prisoner Review
18    Board or Department of Juvenile Justice shall notify the
19    victim and the State's Attorney of the county where the
20    person seeking parole or aftercare release was prosecuted
21    of the death of the prisoner if the prisoner died while on
22    parole or aftercare release or mandatory supervised
23    release.
24        (7) When a defendant who has been committed to the
25    Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile
26    Justice, or the Department of Human Services is released or

 

 

HB5764- 1821 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2    Human Services as a sexually violent person and the victim
3    had requested to be notified by the releasing authority of
4    the defendant's discharge, conditional release, death, or
5    escape from State custody, the releasing authority shall
6    provide to the Department of Human Services such
7    information that would allow the Department of Human
8    Services to contact the victim.
9        (8) When a defendant has been convicted of a sex
10    offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
11    Registration Act and has been sentenced to the Department
12    of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, the
13    Prisoner Review Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice
14    shall notify the victim of the sex offense of the
15    prisoner's eligibility for release on parole, aftercare
16    release, mandatory supervised release, electronic
17    detention, work release, international transfer or
18    exchange, or by the custodian of the discharge of any
19    individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a sex
20    offense from State custody and by the sheriff of the
21    appropriate county of any such person's final discharge
22    from county custody. The notification shall be made to the
23    victim at least 30 days, whenever possible, before release
24    of the sex offender.

16    (c-5) The court shall provide, through the office of the
17clerk of the court, the application for waiver of court fees,
18costs, and charges to any person seeking to sue or defend an
19action who indicates an inability to pay the fees, costs, and
20charges of the action. The clerk of the court shall post in a
21conspicuous place in the courthouse a notice no smaller than
228.5 x 11 inches, using no smaller than 30-point typeface
23printed in English and in Spanish, advising the public that
24they may ask the court for permission to sue or defend a civil
25action without payment of fees, costs, and charges. The notice
26shall be substantially as follows:

 

 

HB5764- 1917 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        "If you are unable to pay the fees, costs, and charges
2    of an action you may ask the court to allow you to proceed
3    without paying them. Ask the clerk of the court for forms."
4    (d) (Blank).
5    (e) The clerk of the court shall not refuse to accept and
6file any complaint, appearance, or other paper presented by the
7applicant if accompanied by an application for waiver of court
8fees, costs, and charges, and those papers shall be considered
9filed on the date the application is presented. If the
10application is denied or a partial fees, costs, and charges
11waiver is granted, the order shall state a date certain by
12which the necessary fees, costs, and charges must be paid. For
13good cause shown, the court may allow an applicant who receives
14a partial fees, costs, and charges waiver to defer payment of
15fees, costs, and charges, make installment payments, or make
16payment upon reasonable terms and conditions stated in the
17order. The court may dismiss the claims or strike the defenses
18of any party failing to pay the fees, costs, and charges within
19the time and in the manner ordered by the court. A judicial
20ruling on an application for waiver of court assessments does
21not constitute a decision of a substantial issue in the case
22under Section 2-1001 of this Code.
23    (f) The order granting a full or partial fees, costs, and
24charges waiver shall expire after one year. Upon expiration of
25the waiver, or a reasonable period of time before expiration,
26the party whose fees, costs, and charges were waived may file

 

 

HB5764- 1918 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1another application for waiver and the court shall consider the
2application in accordance with the applicable Supreme Court
3Rule.
4    (f-5) If, before or at the time of final disposition of the
5case, the court obtains information, including information
6from the court file, suggesting that a person whose fees,
7costs, and charges were initially waived was not entitled to a
8full or partial waiver at the time of application, the court
9may require the person to appear at a court hearing by giving
10the applicant no less than 10 days' written notice of the
11hearing and the specific reasons why the initial waiver might
12be reconsidered. The court may require the applicant to provide
13reasonably available evidence, including financial
14information, to support his or her eligibility for the waiver,
15but the court shall not require submission of information that
16is unrelated to the criteria for eligibility and application
17requirements set forth in subdivision (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this
18Section. If the court finds that the person was not initially
19entitled to any waiver, the person shall pay all fees, costs,
20and charges relating to the civil action, including any
21previously waived fees, costs, and charges. The order may state
22terms of payment in accordance with subsection (e). The court
23shall not conduct a hearing under this subsection more often
24than once every 6 months.
25    (f-10) If, before or at the time of final disposition of
26the case, the court obtains information, including information

 

 

HB5764- 1919 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1from the court file, suggesting that a person who received a
2full or partial waiver has experienced a change in financial
3condition so that he or she is no longer eligible for that
4waiver, the court may require the person to appear at a court
5hearing by giving the applicant no less than 10 days' written
6notice of the hearing and the specific reasons why the waiver
7might be reconsidered. The court may require the person to
8provide reasonably available evidence, including financial
9information, to support his or her continued eligibility for
10the waiver, but shall not require submission of information
11that is unrelated to the criteria for eligibility and
12application requirements set forth in subdivisions (b)(1) and
13(b)(2) of this Section. If the court enters an order finding
14that the person is no longer entitled to a waiver, or is
15entitled to a partial waiver different than that which the
16person had previously received, the person shall pay the
17requisite fees, costs, and charges from the date of the order
18going forward. The order may state terms of payment in
19accordance with subsection (e) of this Section. The court shall
20not conduct a hearing under this subsection more often than
21once every 6 months.
22    (g) A court, in its discretion, may appoint counsel to
23represent an indigent person, and that counsel shall perform
24his or her duties without fees, charges, or reward.
25    (h) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to affect
26the right of a party to sue or defend an action in forma

 

 

HB5764- 1920 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1pauperis without the payment of fees, costs, charges, or the
2right of a party to court-appointed counsel, as authorized by
3any other provision of law or by the rules of the Illinois
4Supreme Court. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
5limit the authority of a court to order another party to the
6action to pay the fees, costs, and charges of the action.
7    (h-5) If a party is represented by a civil legal services
8provider or an attorney in a court-sponsored pro bono program
9as defined in Section 5-105.5 of this Code, the attorney
10representing that party shall file a certification with the
11court in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 298 and that party
12shall be allowed to sue or defend without payment of fees,
13costs, and charges without filing an application under this
14Section.

10    although physically and financially able, to provide the
11    child with adequate food, clothing, or shelter.
12        (p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities

14    licensed clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist
15    of mental impairment, mental illness or an intellectual
16    disability as defined in Section 1-116 of the Mental Health
17    and Developmental Disabilities Code, or developmental
18    disability as defined in Section 1-106 of that Code, and
19    there is sufficient justification to believe that the
20    inability to discharge parental responsibilities shall
21    extend beyond a reasonable time period. However, this
22    subdivision (p) shall not be construed so as to permit a
23    licensed clinical social worker to conduct any medical
24    diagnosis to determine mental illness or mental
25    impairment.

HB5764- 1963 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Revenue Code or a state gift, estate, or inheritance tax,
2    the second-trust instrument must not include or omit any
3    term that, if included in or omitted from the trust
4    instrument for the trust to which the property was
5    transferred, would have prevented the transfer from
6    qualifying for the deduction, or would have reduced the
7    amount of the deduction, under the same provisions of the
8    Internal Revenue Code or state law under which the transfer
9    qualified.
10        (2) If the first trust contains property that

12    this Article other than this Section, for a charitable
13    deduction for purposes of the income, gift, or estate tax

18        (4) If the property of the first trust includes shares
19    of stock in an S corporation, as defined in Section 1361 of

26    second trust receiving the stock is a permitted shareholder

 

 

HB5764- 1965 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    under Section 1361(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. If
2    the property of the first trust includes shares of stock in
3    an S corporation and the first trust is, or but for

HB5764- 1966 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    any applicable regulations, or any similar requirements
2    that refer to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue
3    Code or the regulations. If an attempted exercise of the
4    decanting power violates the preceding sentence, the
5    trustee is deemed to have held the qualified benefits
6    property and any reinvested distributions of the property
7    as a separate share from the date of the exercise of the
8    power and Section 1222 applies to the separate share.

24            (A) the first-trust instrument expressly indicates
25        an intent to qualify for the benefit or the first-trust
26        instrument clearly is designed to enable the first

 

 

HB5764- 1967 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

5        would have qualified for the tax benefit.
6        (9) Subject to paragraph (4) of this subsection (b):
7            (A) except as otherwise provided in paragraph (7)
8        of this subsection (b), the second trust may be a
9        nongrantor trust, even if the first trust is a grantor
10        trust; and

12        of this subsection (b), the second trust may be a
13        grantor trust, even if the first trust is a nongrantor

15        (10) An authorized fiduciary may not exercise the
16    decanting power if a settlor objects in a signed record
17    delivered to the fiduciary within the notice period and:
18            (A) the first trust and second trusts are both
19        grantor trusts, in whole or in part, the first trust
20        grants the settlor or another person the power to cause
21        the second trust to cease to be a grantor trust, and
22        the second trust does not grant an equivalent power to
23        the settlor or other person; or
24            (B) the first trust is a nongrantor trust and the
25        second trust is a grantor trust, in whole or in part,
26        with respect to the settlor, unless:

 

 

HB5764- 1968 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1                (i) the settlor has the power at all times to
2            cause the second trust to cease to be a grantor
3            trust; or
4                (ii) the first-trust instrument contains a
5            provision granting the settlor or another person a
6            power that would cause the first trust to cease to
7            be a grantor trust and the second-trust instrument

8        complainant has the right, within 90 days after receipt
9        of the Department's notice, to commence a civil action
10        in the appropriate circuit court or other appropriate
11        court of competent jurisdiction. The Department's
12        notice to the complainant that the Department has
13        adopted the EEOC's determination shall constitute the
14        Department's report for purposes of subparagraph (D)
15        of this Section.
16            (b) If the complainant does file a written request
17        with the Department to review the EEOC's
18        determination, the Department shall review the EEOC's
19        determination and any evidence obtained by the EEOC
20        during its investigation. If, after reviewing the
21        EEOC's determination and any evidence obtained by the
22        EEOC, the Department determines there is no need for
23        further investigation of the charge, the Department
24        shall issue a report and the Director shall determine
25        whether there is substantial evidence that the alleged
26        civil rights violation has been committed pursuant to

 

 

HB5764- 1996 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        subsection (D) of this Section 7A-102. If, after
2        reviewing the EEOC's determination and any evidence
3        obtained by the EEOC, the Department determines there
4        is a need for further investigation of the charge, the
5        Department may conduct any further investigation it
6        deems necessary. After reviewing the EEOC's
7        determination, the evidence obtained by the EEOC, and
8        any additional investigation conducted by the
9        Department, the Department shall issue a report and the
10        Director shall determine whether there is substantial
11        evidence that the alleged civil rights violation has
12        been committed pursuant to subsection (D) of this
13        Section 7A-102 of this Act.
14        (4) Pursuant to this Section, if the EEOC dismisses the
15    charge or a portion of the charge of discrimination
16    because, under federal law, the EEOC lacks jurisdiction
17    over the charge, and if, under this Act, the Department has
18    jurisdiction over the charge of discrimination, the
19    Department shall investigate the charge or portion of the
20    charge dismissed by the EEOC for lack of jurisdiction
21    pursuant to subsections (A), (A-1), (B), (B-1), (C), (D),
22    (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J), and (K) of this Section

1    its determination.
2        (6) The failure of the Department to meet the

8a copy of the charge on the respondent and provide all parties
9with a notice of the complainant's right to opt out of the
10investigation within 60 days as set forth in subsection (C-1).
11This period shall not be construed to be jurisdictional. The
12charging party and the respondent may each file a position
13statement and other materials with the Department regarding the
14charge of alleged discrimination within 60 days of receipt of
15the notice of the charge. The position statements and other
16materials filed shall remain confidential unless otherwise
17agreed to by the party providing the information and shall not
18be served on or made available to the other party during the
19pendency of a charge with the Department. The Department may
20require the respondent to file a response to the allegations
21contained in the charge. Upon the Department's request, the

2complainant or his or her representative. All allegations
3contained in the charge not denied by the respondent within 60
4days of the Department's request for a response may be deemed
5admitted, unless the respondent states that it is without
6sufficient information to form a belief with respect to such
7allegation. The Department may issue a notice of default
8directed to any respondent who fails to file a response to a
9charge within 60 days of receipt of the Department's request,
10unless the respondent can demonstrate good cause as to why such
11notice should not issue. The term "good cause" shall be defined
12by rule promulgated by the Department. Within 30 days of
13receipt of the respondent's response, the complainant may file
14a reply to said response and shall serve a copy of said reply
15on the respondent or his or her representative. A party shall
16have the right to supplement his or her response or reply at

22the respondent informing the complainant of the complainant's
23rights to either file a complaint with the Human Rights

26including in such notice the dates within which the complainant

 

 

HB5764- 1999 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1may exercise these rights. In the notice the Department shall
2notify the complainant that the charge of civil rights
3violation will be dismissed with prejudice and with no right to
4further proceed if a written complaint is not timely filed with
5the Commission or with the appropriate circuit court by the
6complainant pursuant to subparagraph (2) of paragraph (G) or by
7the Department pursuant to subparagraph (1) of paragraph (G).
8    (B-1) Mediation. The complainant and respondent may agree
9to voluntarily submit the charge to mediation without waiving
10any rights that are otherwise available to either party
11pursuant to this Act and without incurring any obligation to
12accept the result of the mediation process. Nothing occurring
13in mediation shall be disclosed by the Department or admissible
14in evidence in any subsequent proceeding unless the complainant
15and the respondent agree in writing that such disclosure be
16made.
17    (C) Investigation.
18        (1) The Department shall conduct an investigation
19    sufficient to determine whether the allegations set forth
20    in the charge are supported by substantial evidence unless
21    the complainant elects to opt out of an investigation
22    pursuant to subsection (C-1).
23        (2) The Director or his or her designated
24    representatives shall have authority to request any member

HB5764- 2000 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    of any books, records or documents whatsoever.
2        (3) If any witness whose testimony is required for any
3    investigation resides outside the State, or through
4    illness or any other good cause as determined by the
5    Director is unable to be interviewed by the investigator or
6    appear at a fact finding conference, his or her testimony
7    or deposition may be taken, within or without the State, in
8    the same manner as is provided for in the taking of
9    depositions in civil cases in circuit courts.
10        (4) Upon reasonable notice to the complainant and the
11    respondent, the Department shall conduct a fact finding
12    conference, unless prior to 365 days after the date on
13    which the charge was filed the Director has determined
14    whether there is substantial evidence that the alleged
15    civil rights violation has been committed, the charge has
16    been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, or the parties
17    voluntarily and in writing agree to waive the fact finding
18    conference. Any party's failure to attend the conference
19    without good cause shall result in dismissal or default.
20    The term "good cause" shall be defined by rule promulgated
21    by the Department. A notice of dismissal or default shall
22    be issued by the Director. The notice of default issued by
23    the Director shall notify the respondent that a request for
24    review may be filed in writing with the Commission within
25    30 days of receipt of notice of default. The notice of

1    notice of his or her right to seek review of the dismissal
2    before the Human Rights Commission or commence a civil
3    action in the appropriate circuit court. If the complainant
4    chooses to have the Human Rights Commission review the
5    dismissal order, he or she shall file a request for review
6    with the Commission within 90 days after receipt of the
7    Director's notice. If the complainant chooses to file a
8    request for review with the Commission, he or she may not
9    later commence a civil action in a circuit court. If the
10    complainant chooses to commence a civil action in a circuit
11    court, he or she must do so within 90 days after receipt of
12    the Director's notice.
13    (C-1) Opt out of Department's investigation. At any time
14within 60 days after receipt of notice of the right to opt out,
15a complainant may submit a written request seeking notice from
16the Director indicating that the complainant has opted out of
17the investigation and may commence a civil action in the
18appropriate circuit court or other appropriate court of
19competent jurisdiction. Within 10 business days of receipt of
20the complainant's request to opt out of the investigation, the
21Director shall issue a notice to the parties stating that: (i)
22the complainant has exercised the right to opt out of the
23investigation; (ii) the complainant has 90 days after receipt
24of the Director's notice to commence an action in the
25appropriate circuit court or other appropriate court of

3a complaint has been filed with the appropriate circuit court
4or other appropriate court of competent jurisdiction and shall
5mail a copy of the complaint to the Department and the

9refile a substantially similar charge with the Department
10arising from the same incident of unlawful discrimination or
11harassment.
12    (D) Report.
13        (1) Each charge investigated under subsection (C)
14    shall be the subject of a report to the Director. The
15    report shall be a confidential document subject to review
16    by the Director, authorized Department employees, the
17    parties, and, where indicated by this Act, members of the
18    Commission or their designated hearing officers.
19        (2) Upon review of the report, the Director shall
20    determine whether there is substantial evidence that the
21    alleged civil rights violation has been committed. The
22    determination of substantial evidence is limited to
23    determining the need for further consideration of the
24    charge pursuant to this Act and includes, but is not
25    limited to, findings of fact and conclusions, as well as
26    the reasons for the determinations on all material issues.

 

 

HB5764- 2003 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Substantial evidence is evidence which a reasonable mind
2    accepts as sufficient to support a particular conclusion
3    and which consists of more than a mere scintilla but may be
4    somewhat less than a preponderance.
5        (3) If the Director determines that there is no
6    substantial evidence, the charge shall be dismissed by
7    order of the Director and the Director shall give the
8    complainant notice of his or her right to seek review of
9    the dismissal order before the Commission or commence a
10    civil action in the appropriate circuit court. If the

21    substantial evidence, he or she shall notify the
22    complainant and respondent of that determination. The
23    Director shall also notify the parties that the complainant

25    appropriate circuit court or request that the Department of
26    Human Rights file a complaint with the Human Rights

 

 

HB5764- 2004 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    Commission on his or her behalf. Any such complaint shall
2    be filed within 90 days after receipt of the Director's
3    notice. If the complainant chooses to have the Department
4    file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on his or
5    her behalf, the complainant must, within 30 days after
6    receipt of the Director's notice, request in writing that
7    the Department file the complaint. If the complainant
8    timely requests that the Department file the complaint, the
9    Department shall file the complaint on his or her behalf.
10    If the complainant fails to timely request that the
11    Department file the complaint, the complainant may file his
12    or her complaint with the Commission or commence a civil
13    action in the appropriate circuit court. If the complainant

23    conciliation.

25    conciliation conference is necessary, the complainant and

5    35 miles of the place where the civil rights violation is
6    alleged to have been committed.

9    respondent agree in writing that such disclosure be made.
10        (5) The Department's efforts to conciliate the matter
11    shall not stay or extend the time for filing the complaint
12    with the Commission or the circuit court.
13    (F) Complaint.
14        (1) When the complainant requests that the Department
15    file a complaint with the Commission on his or her behalf,
16    the Department shall prepare a written complaint, under
17    oath or affirmation, stating the nature of the civil rights
18    violation substantially as alleged in the charge
19    previously filed and the relief sought on behalf of the
20    aggrieved party. The Department shall file the complaint
21    with the Commission.
22        (2) If the complainant chooses to commence a civil
23    action in a circuit court, he or she must do so in the
24    circuit court in the county wherein the civil rights
25    violation was allegedly committed. The form of the
26    complaint in any such civil action shall be in accordance

 

 

HB5764- 2006 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1    with the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure.
2    (G) Time Limit.
3        (1) When a charge of a civil rights violation has been
4    properly filed, the Department, within 365 days thereof or
5    within any extension of that period agreed to in writing by
6    all parties, shall issue its report as required by
7    subparagraph (D). Any such report shall be duly served upon
8    both the complainant and the respondent.
9        (2) If the Department has not issued its report within
10    365 days after the charge is filed, or any such longer
11    period agreed to in writing by all the parties, the
12    complainant shall have 90 days to either file his or her
13    own complaint with the Human Rights Commission or commence
14    a civil action in the appropriate circuit court. If the
15    complainant files a complaint with the Commission, the form

19    be in accordance with the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure.
20    The aggrieved party shall notify the Department that a
21    complaint has been filed and shall serve a copy of the
22    complaint on the Department on the same date that the
23    complaint is filed with the Commission or in circuit court.
24    If the complainant files a complaint with the Commission,
25    he or she may not later commence a civil action in circuit
26    court.

 

 

HB5764- 2007 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

1        (3) If an aggrieved party files a complaint with the
2    Human Rights Commission or commences a civil action in
3    circuit court pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection,
4    or if the time period for filing a complaint has expired,
5    the Department shall immediately cease its investigation
6    and dismiss the charge of civil rights violation. Any final
7    order entered by the Commission under this Section is
8    appealable in accordance with paragraph (B)(1) of Section
9    8-111. Failure to immediately cease an investigation and
10    dismiss the charge of civil rights violation as provided in
11    this paragraph (3) constitutes grounds for entry of an
12    order by the circuit court permanently enjoining the
13    investigation. The Department may also be liable for any
14    costs and other damages incurred by the respondent as a
15    result of the action of the Department.
