3        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this

18    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
19    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
20    property placed in service during the taxable year,
21    provided such property is placed in service on or after
22    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
23    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
24    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
25    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
26    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 16 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

4    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
5    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
6    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
7    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
8    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
9    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
10    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
11    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
12    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
13    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
14    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
15    other than the year in which the property was placed in
16    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
17    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
18    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
19    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
20    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
21    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
22    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
23    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
24    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
25    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
26    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an

3    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
4    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
5    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
6    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
7    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
8    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
9    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
10    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
11    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
12    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
13    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
14    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
15    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
16    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
17    be 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, earlier credit
20    shall be applied first.
21        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
22    which:

1        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
2        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
3        other appurtenances;
4            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
5        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
6        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
7        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
8        (e);
9            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
10        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
11            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
12        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
13        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
14        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
15        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
16        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
17            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
18        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
19        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
20        subsection (f).
21        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
22    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
23    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
24    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
25    assembling which changes some existing material into new
26    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 19 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
2    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
3    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
4    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
5    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
6    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
7    personal property for use or consumption and not for
8    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
9    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
10    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
11    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
12    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
13    electricity.
14        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
15    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
16    income tax purposes.
17        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax

19    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
20    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
21    date of such increase in basis.
22        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
23    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
24        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
25    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
26    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 20 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
2    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
3    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
4    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
5    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
6    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
7    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
8    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
9    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
10    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
11    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
12    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
13    property to the extent of such reduction.
14        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
15    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
16    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
17    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
18    December 31, 2018.
19        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
20    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
21    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
22    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
23    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
24    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
25    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
26    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 21 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
2    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
3    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
4    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
5    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
6    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
7    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
8    shall be irrevocable.
9        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
10    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
11    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
12    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
13    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
14    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
15    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
16    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
17    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
18    corporation, determined in accordance with the
19    determination of income and distributive share of income
20    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal

3    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
4    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
5    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
6    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
7    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
8    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
9    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
10    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
11    determined in accordance with the determination of income
12    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
13    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
14    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
15    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
16    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
17    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
18    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
19    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
20    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
21    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
22    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
23    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
24    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability

1    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
2    applied to the earliest year for which there is a

4    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
5    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
6        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
7            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
8        buildings and structural components of buildings;
9            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
10        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
11        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
12        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
13        (f);
14            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
15        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
16            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
18            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
19        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
20        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
21        subsection (e).
22        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
23    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
24    income tax purposes.

SB2023 Enrolled- 24 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
3    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
4    date of such increase in basis.
5        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
6    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
7        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

9    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
10    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
11    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
12    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
13    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
14    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
15    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
16    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
17    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
18    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
19    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
20    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
21    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
22    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
23    property to the extent of such reduction.

3    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
4    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
5    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

7    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
8    employment for the first year in which they file employment
9    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
10    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
11    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
12    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
13    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
14    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

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

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 27 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
2    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
3    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.

19        Section.
20        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
21    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
22    income tax purposes.
23        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
24    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
25    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
26    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 28 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
2    the date of such increase in basis.
3        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
4    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
5        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

9    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
10    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
11    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
12    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
13    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
14    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
15    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
16    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
17    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
18    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
19    basis of qualified property resulting from a
20    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
21    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
22    reduction.
23        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
24    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
25    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
26    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 29 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
2    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
3    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
4    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
5    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
6    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
7    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
8Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
9shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
10(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
11(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
12multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
13Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
14allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
15base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
16rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
17    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
18subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
19because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
20and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
21liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
22forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
23(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
24year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
25year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
26applied first to the earliest year for which there is a

1liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
2than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
3earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
4first.
5    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
61986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
7Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
8subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
9shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
10recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
11imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
12reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
13taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
14year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
15    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
16ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
172003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

19amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
20the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
21of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
22training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
23or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
24computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
25imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
26training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S

2liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
3federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
4credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
5with the determination of income and distributive share of
6income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
7Internal Revenue Code.
8    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
9the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
10the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
11first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
12first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
13there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
14year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
15credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
16carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
17after December 31, 2003.
18    (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
19after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and

2corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
3liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
4federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
5credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
6with the determination of income and distributive share of
7income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
8Internal Revenue Code.
9    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
10means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
11credit for increasing research activities which would be
12allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
13which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
14increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
15of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
16incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
17"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
18of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
19period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
20preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
21made.
22    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
23year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
24unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
25as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
26taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs

 

 

SB2023 Enrolled- 33 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
2prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
3ending on or after December 31, 2003.
4    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
52 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
6year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
7given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
8remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
9applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
10liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
11credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
12following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
13that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
14than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
15credit is given was incurred.
16    No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
1791st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
18years beginning before January 1, 1999.
19    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

15Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
16State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
17other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
18threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
19a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's
20license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
21driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of
22driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public safety,
23is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a
24monitoring device driving permit. A person who drives and fails
25to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device

14for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
15ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
16Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and
17procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
18provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
19information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
20person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
21notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
22the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
23subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be

14    Any offender participating in the MDDP program must pay the
15Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to exceed
16$30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring Device
17Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary shall
18establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and
19conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an
20ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
21the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device
22provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
23prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the

8Section.
9    (m) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
10interlock device under this Section shall, for each ignition
11interlock device installed, pay 5% of the total gross revenue
12received for the device, including monthly monitoring fees,

15issued. The Secretary shall conduct an annual review of the
16fund to determine whether the surcharge is sufficient to
17provide for indigent users. The Secretary may increase or
18decrease this surcharge requirement as needed.
19    (n) Any person or entity that supplies an ignition
20interlock device under this Section that is requested to

3Indigent BAIID Fund to reimburse ignition interlock device
4providers who have installed devices in vehicles of indigent
5persons. The Secretary shall make payments to such providers
