HB2853 Engrossed- 40 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1programs for the aged and monitored by area agencies on aging
2in cooperation with the Department, may include, but are not
3limited to, any or all of the following:
4        (a) (blank);
5        (b) (blank);
6        (c) home care aide services;
7        (d) personal assistant services;

26for which a person may qualify, consideration shall not be

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 41 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1given to the value of cash, property or other assets held in
2the name of the person's spouse pursuant to a written agreement
3dividing marital property into equal but separate shares or
4pursuant to a transfer of the person's interest in a home to
5his spouse, provided that the spouse's share of the marital
6property is not made available to the person seeking such
7services.
8    Beginning January 1, 2008, the Department shall require as
9a condition of eligibility that all new financially eligible
10applicants apply for and enroll in medical assistance under
11Article V of the Illinois Public Aid Code in accordance with
12rules promulgated by the Department.
13    The Department shall, in conjunction with the Department of
14Public Aid (now Department of Healthcare and Family Services),
15seek appropriate amendments under Sections 1915 and 1924 of the
16Social Security Act. The purpose of the amendments shall be to
17extend eligibility for home and community based services under
18Sections 1915 and 1924 of the Social Security Act to persons
19who transfer to or for the benefit of a spouse those amounts of

23Illinois Public Aid Code to persons who, but for the provision
24of home or community-based services, would require the level of
25care provided in an institution, as is provided for in federal
26law. Those persons no longer found to be eligible for receiving

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 42 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1noninstitutional services due to changes in the eligibility
2criteria shall be given 45 days notice prior to actual
3termination. Those persons receiving notice of termination may
4contact the Department and request the determination be
5appealed at any time during the 45 day notice period. The
6target population identified for the purposes of this Section
7are persons age 60 and older with an identified service need.
8Priority shall be given to those who are at imminent risk of
9institutionalization. The services shall be provided to
10eligible persons age 60 and older to the extent that the cost
11of the services together with the other personal maintenance
12expenses of the persons are reasonably related to the standards
13established for care in a group facility appropriate to the
14person's condition. These non-institutional services, pilot
15projects or experimental facilities may be provided as part of
16or in addition to those authorized by federal law or those
17funded and administered by the Department of Human Services.
18The Departments of Human Services, Healthcare and Family
19Services, Public Health, Veterans' Affairs, and Commerce and
20Economic Opportunity and other appropriate agencies of State,
21federal and local governments shall cooperate with the
22Department on Aging in the establishment and development of the
23non-institutional services. The Department shall require an
24annual audit from all personal assistant and home care aide
25vendors contracting with the Department under this Section. The
26annual audit shall assure that each audited vendor's procedures

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 43 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

3benefits cost split as defined in administrative rules. The
4audit is a public record under the Freedom of Information Act.
5The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home
6prescreening project, written inter-agency agreements with the

14prescreenings for individuals 60 years of age or older shall be
15conducted by the Department.
16    As part of the Department on Aging's routine training of
17case managers and case manager supervisors, the Department may
18include information on family futures planning for persons who
19are age 60 or older and who are caregivers of their adult
20children with developmental disabilities. The content of the
21training shall be at the Department's discretion.
22    The Department is authorized to establish a system of
23recipient copayment for services provided under this Section,
24such copayment to be based upon the recipient's ability to pay
25but in no case to exceed the actual cost of the services
26provided. Additionally, any portion of a person's income which

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 44 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1is equal to or less than the federal poverty standard shall not
2be considered by the Department in determining the copayment.
3The level of such copayment shall be adjusted whenever
4necessary to reflect any change in the officially designated
5federal poverty standard.
6    The Department, or the Department's authorized
7representative, may recover the amount of moneys expended for
8services provided to or in behalf of a person under this
9Section by a claim against the person's estate or against the
10estate of the person's surviving spouse, but no recovery may be
11had until after the death of the surviving spouse, if any, and
12then only at such time when there is no surviving child who is
13under age 21, blind, or permanently and totally disabled. This
14paragraph, however, shall not bar recovery, at the death of the
15person, of moneys for services provided to the person or in
16behalf of the person under this Section to which the person was
17not entitled; provided that such recovery shall not be enforced
18against any real estate while it is occupied as a homestead by
19the surviving spouse or other dependent, if no claims by other
20creditors have been filed against the estate, or, if such
21claims have been filed, they remain dormant for failure of
22prosecution or failure of the claimant to compel administration
23of the estate for the purpose of payment. This paragraph shall
24not bar recovery from the estate of a spouse, under Sections
251915 and 1924 of the Social Security Act and Section 5-4 of the
26Illinois Public Aid Code, who precedes a person receiving

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 45 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1services under this Section in death. All moneys for services
2paid to or in behalf of the person under this Section shall be
3claimed for recovery from the deceased spouse's estate.

16    identified by the comprehensive assessment tool selected
17    by the Department for use statewide, not to exceed the
18    total monthly service cost maximum allowed for each
19    service; the Department shall develop administrative rules
20    to implement this item (2);

26    accurate in determining the participants' level of need; to

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 46 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    achieve this, the Department, in conjunction with the Older
2    Adult Services Advisory Committee, shall institute a study
3    of the relationship between the Determination of Need
4    scores, level of need, service cost maximums, and the
5    development and utilization of service plans no later than

HB2853 Engrossed- 124 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and

3            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
4                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

6            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
8            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
9            to the application or use of an alternative method
10            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
11                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12            Director from making any other adjustment
13            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17            and such regulations provide methods and standards
18            by which the Department will utilize its authority

21        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
22        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
23        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
24        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
25        foreign person who would be a member of the same
26        unitary business group but for the fact that the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 125 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

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

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

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

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

14                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
15                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16                to a person that is not a related member, and
17                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the

7            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
8            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
9            to the application or use of an alternative method
10            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
11                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12            Director from making any other adjustment
13            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

3        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

20        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

22        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
23        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
24        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of

5                intangible expense or cost between the
6                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
7                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
8                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
9                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
10                or
11                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
12            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

14            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

18            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);

5        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
6        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
7        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
8        business group but for the fact that the person is
9        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
10        included in the unitary business group because he or
11        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
12        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
13        addition modification required by this subparagraph
14        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
15        included in base income of the unitary group for the
16        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

23            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
24            to the application or use of an alternative method
25            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
26                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

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

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 174 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
2        group for the same taxable year and received by the

4        business group (including amounts included in gross
5        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
6        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
7        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
8        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
9        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
10        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
11        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
12        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
13        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
14        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
15        "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
16        expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
17        direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
18        management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
19        disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
20        incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
21        transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
22        patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
23        fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
24        purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
25        includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
26        trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,

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

1            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
3            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
4            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
5            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
6            writing to the application or use of an alternative
7            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
8                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
9            Director from making any other adjustment
10            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
11            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
12            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
13            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
14            and such regulations provide methods and standards
15            by which the Department will utilize its authority
16            under Section 404 of this Act;
17            (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
18        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
19        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
20        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
21        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
22        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
23        business group but for the fact that the person is
24        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
25        included in the unitary business group because he or
26        she is ordinarily required to apportion business

1        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
2        addition modification required by this subparagraph
3        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

5        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
6        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
7        (including amounts included in gross income under
8        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
9        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
10        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
11        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
12        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
13        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
14        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
15        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
16        Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
17            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
18        the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
19        determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this

7        thereto;
8            (I) The valuation limitation amount;
9            (J) An amount equal to the amount of any tax
10        imposed by this Act which was refunded to the taxpayer
11        and included in such total for the taxable year;

11                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
12                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
13                to a person that is not a related member, and
14                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
15                interest expense between the taxpayer and the

22            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
23            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or

4            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
5            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
6            to the application or use of an alternative method
7            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
8                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
9            Director from making any other adjustment
10            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
11            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
12            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
13            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
14            and such regulations provide methods and standards
15            by which the Department will utilize its authority
16            under Section 404 of this Act; and
17            (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible

1        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
2        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
3        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
4        from being included in the unitary business group
5        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
6        business income under different subsections of Section
7        304. The addition modification required by this
8        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
9        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
10        group for the same taxable year and received by the
11        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
12        business group (including amounts included in gross
13        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

16        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
17        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
18        indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
19        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
20        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
21        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
22        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
23        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
24        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
25        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
26        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

2        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
3        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

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

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 193 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
2                intangible expense or cost between the
3                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
4                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
5                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
6                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
7                or
8                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
9            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
10            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
11            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
12            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
13            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
14            writing to the application or use of an alternative
15            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
16                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
17            Director from making any other adjustment
18            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
19            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
20            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
21            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
22            and such regulations provide methods and standards
23            by which the Department will utilize its authority
24            under Section 404 of this Act;
25            (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
26        31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance

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

13        or by reason of the Constitution, treaties or statutes
14        of the United States; provided that, in the case of any
15        statute of this State that exempts income derived from
16        bonds or other obligations from the tax imposed under
17        this Act, the amount exempted shall be the interest net
18        of bond premium amortization;
19            (H) Any income of the partnership which
20        constitutes personal service income as defined in
21        Section 1348 (b) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code (as

3    (2) and subsection (b) (3), for purposes of this Section
4    and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
5    gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall

7    taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
8    purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
9    Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
10    zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
11    December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
12    taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
13    exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
14    year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
15    of addition modifications over subtraction modifications

18    excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
19    defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

HB2853 Engrossed- 203 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
2    addition modification must be made under those
3    subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
4    taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
5    applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
6    under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
7    (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
8    Revenue Code.
9        (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
10    subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
11    federal income tax purposes shall mean:
12            (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
13        of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
14        by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life

16        distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
17        accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the

19            (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
20        of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
21        imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,

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

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 205 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1        event such election is made, such losses shall be
2        computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
3        subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
4        apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
5        the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
6        for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
7        The election shall be effective for all taxable years
8        with original returns due on or after the date of the
9        election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
10        amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
11        to provide that the election shall be effective for
12        losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years

14        the election may only be revoked upon approval of the

4        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
5        a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the

18        (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
19    asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
20    contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
21    business has been classified as business income and in a
22    later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
23    all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
24    year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
25    related to that asset or business that generated the
26    non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 207 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

10        (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
11    referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
12    (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
13            (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
14        amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
15        under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
17        which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
18            (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
19        1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
20        capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
21        gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
22        the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
23        taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
24        such gain included in the amount determined under
25        subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 208 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

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

19$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
20the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
21preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
22$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
23substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
24which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
25monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
26will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 222 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
2taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
3applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
4payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
5average monthly liability to the Department during the
6preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
7highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
8than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
9to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
104 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
11$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
12substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
13which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
14monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
15will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
16taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
17taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
18taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
19seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
20quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
21amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
23minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
24payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
25taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
26Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 223 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
2rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
3amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
4on other than a calendar monthly basis.
5    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
6the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
7Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
8Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
9the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
10no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
11memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
12in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
13taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
14similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
15Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
16in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
17prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
18payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
19after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
20unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
21the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
22liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
23Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
24the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
25accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
26the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 224 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
2taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
3be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
4credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
5liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
6    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
7return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
8the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
9authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
10with the return for January, February, and March of a given
11year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
12April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
13year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
14year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
15for October, November and December of a given year being due by
16January 20 of the following year.
17    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
18quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
19liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
20may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
21the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
22following year.
23    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
24substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
25returns.
26    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 225 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
2case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
3which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
4such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
5Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
6business.
7    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
8aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
9an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
10tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
11upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
12separate return for each such item of tangible personal
13property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
14transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
15vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
16watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
17watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
18of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
19vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
20watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
21a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
22Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
23aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
24that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
25invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
26this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 226 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
2and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
3with an inboard motor.
4    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
5vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
6agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
7Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
8Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
9and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
10including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
11property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
12traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
13which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
14of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
15trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
16tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
17amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
18such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
19due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
20fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
21identification of the property sold; such other information as
22is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
23such other information as the Department may reasonably
24require.
25    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
26and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 227 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
2price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
3traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
4for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
5extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
6the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
7deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
8the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
9transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
10the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
11such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
12claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
13sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
14information as the Department may reasonably require.
15    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
16than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
17being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
18than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
19return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
20that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
21Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
22officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
23titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
24if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
25that this procedure will expedite the processing of
26applications for title or registration.

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 228 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
2shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
3satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
4the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
5Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
6(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
7that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
8may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
9whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
10that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
11support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
12certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
13tangible personal property.
14    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
15Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
16retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
17evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
18is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
19paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
20Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
21mandate of this paragraph.
22    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
23wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
24tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
25retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
26paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 229 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
2being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
3the information required by the transaction reporting return
4and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
5the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
6determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
7and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
8credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
9with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
10provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
11the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
12same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
13if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
14    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
15selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
16the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
17property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
18the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
19purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
20his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
21purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
22refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
23such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
24Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
25to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
26such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 230 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
2deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
3purchaser.
4    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
5include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
6covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
7personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
8but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
9from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
10remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
11return.
12    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
13Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
14return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
15returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
16Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
17Acts on the one form.
18    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
19with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
20such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
21return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
22separate returns for each such registered business.
23    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
24pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
25fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
26revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on

8pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
9net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
10general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
11which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
12and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
13government.
14    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
15pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
16fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
17the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
18price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
19personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
20from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
21of this State's government.
22    Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
23pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
24net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
25rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. Beginning
26September 1, 2010, each month the Department shall pay into the

2realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
3selling price of sales tax holiday items.
4    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

6realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on

8purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
9is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
10government.
11    Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall
12pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
13an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
14net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of
15candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had
16been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that
17is now taxed at 6.25%.
18    Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
19pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
20Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
21and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the

12business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
13required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
14in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
15transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from

22result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
23pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
24the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
25Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
26that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under

17less than 50 cents.
18    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
19return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
20the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
21authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
22with the return for January, February and March of a given year
23being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
24May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;

15which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
16such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the

18business.
19    Where the same person has more than one business registered
20with the Department under separate registrations under this
21Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
22single return covering all such registered businesses, but
23shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
24    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
25aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
26an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 248 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
2upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
3separate return for each such item of tangible personal
4property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
5transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
6vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
7watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
8watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
9purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
10motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
11watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
12a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
13Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
14watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
15transaction to the Department on the same uniform
16invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
17this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
18watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
19and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
20with an inboard motor.
21    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
22aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
23an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
24liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
25transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
26to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 249 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
2to file returns on an annual basis.
3    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
4vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
5agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
6Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
7Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
8and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
9including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
10property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
11traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
12which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
13of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
14trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
15tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
16amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
17such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
18due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
19fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
20identification of the property sold; such other information as
21is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
22such other information as the Department may reasonably
23require.
24    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
25or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
26name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 250 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
2traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
3for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
4extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
5the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
6deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
7the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
8transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
9the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
10such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
11claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
12sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
13information as the Department may reasonably require.
14    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
15than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
16being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
17than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
18return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
19Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
20the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
21tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
22titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
23agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
24expedite the processing of applications for title or
25registration.
26    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 251 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
2satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
3the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
4Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
5receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
6satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
7purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
8with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
9property that is involved (if titling or registration is
10required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
11Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
12to such tangible personal property.
13    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
14Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
15retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
16evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
17is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
18paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
19Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
20mandate of this paragraph.
21    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
22wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
23the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
24retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
25paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
26of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 252 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
2the information required by the transaction reporting return
3and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
4the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
5determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
6and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
7credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
8with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
9provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
10the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
11same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
12if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
13    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
14period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
15returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
16subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
17may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
18receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
19return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
20with respect to such receipts.
21    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
22behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
23vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
24accredited agent of such corporation.
25    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
26filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 253 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
2the limited liability company.
3    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
4return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
5return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
6Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
7on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
8whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
9retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
10preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
11data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
12to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
13which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
14retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
15transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
16shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
17such retailer files his periodic return.
18    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
19tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
20Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
21Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
22remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
23or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
24shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
25day of the month next following the month during which such tax
26liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department

2during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
31, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
4Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
5Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
6liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
7with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
8preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
9with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
10next following the month during which such tax liability is
11incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
12the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
13liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
14liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
15payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
16actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
17Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
18of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
19calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
20the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
21month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or

23payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
24actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
25liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If

2payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
3actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
5the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
6or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
7begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
8amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
9the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
10calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
11such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,

14the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
15calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
16actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
17amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
18against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
19that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
20requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
21Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
22of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above

1taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
2computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
3calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
4taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
5the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
6to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
7reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
8threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
9Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
10and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
11the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
12taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
13more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
14until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
15Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
16(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
17lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
18average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
19each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
20quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
21show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
22business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
23that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
24foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
25above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
26change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 257 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
2that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
3long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
4the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
5taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
6difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
7amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
8paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
9payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
10minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
11The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
12govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
13payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
14monthly basis.
15    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
162001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
17quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
18is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
19prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
20excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
21calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
22required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
23Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
24month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
25during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
26effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 258 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
2actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
3such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
41986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
5taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
6taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
7preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
8liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
9payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
10actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
11liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
12The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
13against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
14that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
15may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
16quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
17paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
18prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
19calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
20monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
21required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
22interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
23previously made payments for that month in excess of the
24minimum payments previously due.
25    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
261, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 259 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
2who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
3prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
4excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
5calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
6required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
7Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
8month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
9shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
10liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
11the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
12the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
13final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
14filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
15Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
16monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
17shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
18collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
19(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
20lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
21average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
22each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
23quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
24payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
25taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
26difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 260 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
2previously due.
3    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
4taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
5Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
6shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
7requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
8memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
9credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
10the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
11Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
12in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
13prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
14taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
15subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
16the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
17Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
18regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
19subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
20taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
21and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
22of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
23due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
24interest on such difference.
25    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under

1exemption, limited to a reduction set forth under subsection
2(b), from the property's value, as equalized or assessed by the
3Department, is granted for property that is owned and occupied
4as the principal residence of a veteran returning from an armed
5conflict involving the armed forces of the United States who is
6liable for paying real estate taxes on the property and is an
7owner of record of the property or has a legal or equitable
8interest therein as evidenced by a written instrument, except
9for a leasehold interest, other than a leasehold interest of
10land on which a single family residence is located, which is
11occupied as the principal residence of a veteran returning from
12an armed conflict involving the armed forces of the United
13States who has an ownership interest therein, legal, equitable
14or as a lessee, and on which he or she is liable for the payment
15of property taxes. For purposes of the exemption under this
16Section, "veteran" means an Illinois resident who has served as
17a member of the United States Armed Forces, a member of the
18Illinois National Guard, or a member of the United States
19Reserve Forces.
20    (b) In all counties, the reduction is $5,000 for the
21taxable year in which the veteran returns from active duty in
22an armed conflict involving the armed forces of the United
23States; however, if the veteran first acquires his or her
24principal residence during the taxable year in which he or she
25returns, but after January 1 of that year, and if the property
26is owned and occupied by the veteran as a principal residence

1on January 1 of the next taxable year, he or she may apply the
2exemption for the next taxable year, and only the next taxable
3year, after he or she returns. Beginning in taxable year 2010,
4the reduction shall also be allowed for the taxable year after
5the taxable year in which the veteran returns from active duty
6in an armed conflict involving the armed forces of the United
7States. For land improved with an apartment building owned and
8operated as a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the value
9of the property, as equalized by the Department, must be
10multiplied by the number of apartments or units occupied by a
11veteran returning from an armed conflict involving the armed
12forces of the United States who is liable, by contract with the
13owner or owners of record, for paying property taxes on the
14property and is an owner of record of a legal or equitable
15interest in the cooperative apartment building, other than a
16leasehold interest. In a cooperative where a homestead
17exemption has been granted, the cooperative association or the
18management firm of the cooperative or facility shall credit the
19savings resulting from that exemption only to the apportioned
20tax liability of the owner or resident who qualified for the
21exemption. Any person who willfully refuses to so credit the
22savings is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
23    (c) Application must be made during the application period
24in effect for the county of his or her residence. The assessor
25or chief county assessment officer may determine the
26eligibility of residential property to receive the homestead

12Home Care Act or a facility operated by the United States
13Department of Veterans Affairs, then the exemption shall
14continue (i) so long as the residence continues to be occupied
15by the qualifying person's spouse or (ii) if the residence
16remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person who

10corporate check drawn on such a bank, to the respective
11collection officers who are entitled by law to receive the tax
12payments or by credit card in accordance with the Local
13Governmental Acceptance of Credit Cards Act. A county collector
14may refuse to accept a personal or corporate check within 45
15days before a tax sale or at any time if a previous payment by
16the same payer was returned by a bank for any reason.
17    (b) Beginning on January 1, 2012, subject to compliance
18with all applicable purchasing requirements, a county with a
19population of more than 3,000,000 is required to accept payment
20by credit card for each installment of property taxes; provided
21that all service charges or fees, as determined by the county,
22associated with the processing or accepting of a credit card
23payment by the county shall be paid by the taxpayer. If a
24taxpayer elects to make a property tax payment by credit card
25and a service charge or fee is imposed, the payment of that

9payment of property taxes by credit card in accordance with the
10terms of this subsection shall not incur liability for or
11associated with the collection of a property tax payment by
12credit card. The public hearing requirement of subsection (a)
13of Section 20 of the Local Governmental Acceptance of Credit

22levied, the tax shall be extended by the county clerk in the
23special service area in the manner provided by Articles 1
24through 26 of this Code based on equalized assessed values as
25established under Articles 1 through 26. The municipality or

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 281 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1county shall file a certified copy of the ordinance creating
2the special service area, including an accurate map thereof, a
3copy of the public hearing notice, and a description of the
4special services to be provided, with the county clerk. The
5corporate authorities of the municipality or county may levy
6taxes in the special service area prior to the date the levy
7must be filed with the county clerk, for the same year in which
8the ordinance and map are filed with the county clerk. In
9addition, the corporate authorities shall file a certified copy
10of each ordinance levying taxes in the special service area on
11or before the last Tuesday of December of each year and shall
12file a certified copy of any ordinance authorizing the issuance
13of bonds and providing for a property tax levy in the area by
14December 31 of the year of the first levy.
15    In lieu of or in addition to an ad valorem property tax, a
16special tax may be levied and extended within the special
17service area on any other basis that provides a rational
18relationship between the amount of the tax levied against each
19lot, block, tract and parcel of land in the special service
20area and the special service benefit rendered. In that case, a
21special tax roll shall be prepared containing: (a) a
22description of the special services to be provided, (b) an
23explanation of the method of spreading the special tax, (c) a
24list of lots, blocks, tracts and parcels of land in the special

1establishing the special service area or in an amendment of the
2ordinance, and shall be filed with the county clerk for use in
3extending the tax. The lien and foreclosure remedies provided
4in Article 9 of the Illinois Municipal Code shall apply upon
5non-payment of the special tax.
6    As an alternative to an ad valorem tax based on the whole
7equalized assessed value of the property, the corporate
8authorities may provide for the ad valorem tax to be extended
9solely upon the equalized assessed value of the land in a
10special service area, without regard to improvements, if the
11equalized assessed value of the land in the special service
12area is at least 75% of the total of the whole equalized
13assessed value of property within the special service area at
14the time that it was established. If the corporate authorities
15choose to provide for this method of taxation on the land value
16only, then each notice given in connection with the special
17service area must include a statement in substantially the
18following form: "The taxes to be extended shall be upon the
19equalized assessed value of the land in the proposed special
20service area, without regard to improvements." Section 10-30 of
21this Code does not apply to any property that is part of a
22special service area created under this paragraph, namely,
23property for which the ad valorem taxes are extended solely
24upon the equalized assessed value of the land in the special
25service area, without regard to improvements.

13and district road system, or municipal street system as defined
14in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time
15be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
16construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or

5$2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund moneys
6for pedestrian walkways. In entering orders for projects for
7which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
8made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
9by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
10purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
11the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in
12which the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the
13cost of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
14actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection, the

16project plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will

13Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of
14motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each
15county, respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The
16Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
17allotment purposes the last such report received from the
18Secretary of State.
19    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
20Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
21counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
22road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
23several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
24mileage of township or district roads in the respective
25counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
26district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 290 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

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

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 291 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax
2levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable
3property in the road district at a rate that is less than the
4lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of the taxable property in the
5road district, based upon the assessment for the year
6immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
7as equalized by the Department of Revenue, or (ii) a rate that
8will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
9the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the
10allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the
11maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing
12the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or
13(ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per
14mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district.
15    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
16tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 and
176-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
18an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
19than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
20equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
21DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
22mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
23whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper
24compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
25district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning in 2011
26and thereafter, if any road district has levied a special tax

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 292 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the
2Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in an amount that
3would require extension at a rate of not less than 0.08% of the
4value of the taxable property of that road district, as
5equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in
6DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
7mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
8whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper
9compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
10district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under
11this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than
120.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
13County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
14of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
15jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
16special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
17purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
18district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under
19this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or
20less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any
21allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other
22levy for road and bridge purposes.
23    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
24and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
25tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
26levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in

1DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
2mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
3whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
4levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and
5shall qualify the road district for an allotment under this
6Section.
7    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
8imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
9districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
10allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full
11allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation
12was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
13tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax
14allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
15after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
16Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
17entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
182011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
19and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
20the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
21rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
22property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
23preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
24by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
25equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
26jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.

1    As used in this Section the term "road district" means any
2road district, including a county unit road district, provided
3for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
4district road" means any road in the township and district road
5system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
6purposes of this Section, "township or district road" also
7includes such roads as are maintained by park districts, forest

9of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
10and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and
11allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
12    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
13counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
14is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
15these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
16by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the

1and participating instrumentalities.
2    (a) Each participating municipality and each participating
3instrumentality shall make payment to the fund as follows:
4        1. municipality contributions in an amount determined
5    by applying the municipality contribution rate to each
6    payment of earnings paid to each of its participating
7    employees;
8        2. an amount equal to the employee contributions
9    provided by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 7-173,
10    whether or not the employee contributions are withheld as
11    permitted by that Section;
12        3. all accounts receivable, together with interest
13    charged thereon, as provided in Section 7-209;
14        4. if it has no participating employees with current
15    earnings, an amount payable which, over a closed period of
16    20 years for participating municipalities and 10 years for
17    participating instrumentalities, will amortize, at the
18    effective rate for that year, any unfunded obligation. The
19    unfunded obligation shall be computed as provided in
20    paragraph 2 of subsection (b);
21        5. if it has fewer than 7 participating employees or a
22    negative balance in its municipality reserve, the greater
23    of (A) an amount payable that, over a period of 20 years,

1    this subsection (a).
2    (b) A separate municipality contribution rate shall be
3determined for each calendar year for all participating
4municipalities together with all instrumentalities thereof.
5The municipality contribution rate shall be determined for
6participating instrumentalities as if they were participating
7municipalities. The municipality contribution rate shall be
8the sum of the following percentages:
9        1. The percentage of earnings of all the participating
10    employees of all participating municipalities and
11    participating instrumentalities which, if paid over the
12    entire period of their service, will be sufficient when
13    combined with all employee contributions available for the
14    payment of benefits, to provide all annuities for
15    participating employees, and the $3,000 death benefit
16    payable under Sections 7-158 and 7-164, such percentage to
17    be known as the normal cost rate.
18        2. The percentage of earnings of the participating
19    employees of each participating municipality and
20    participating instrumentalities necessary to adjust for
21    the difference between the present value of all benefits,
22    excluding temporary and total and permanent disability and
23    death benefits, to be provided for its participating
24    employees and the sum of its accumulated municipality
25    contributions and the accumulated employee contributions
26    and the present value of expected future employee and

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 297 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    municipality contributions pursuant to subparagraph 1 of
2    this paragraph (b). This adjustment shall be spread over
3    the remainder of the period that is allowable under
4    generally accepted accounting principles.
5        3. The percentage of earnings of the participating
6    employees of all municipalities and participating
7    instrumentalities necessary to provide the present value
8    of all temporary and total and permanent disability
9    benefits granted during the most recent year for which
10    information is available.
11        4. The percentage of earnings of the participating
12    employees of all participating municipalities and
13    participating instrumentalities necessary to provide the
14    present value of the net single sum death benefits expected
15    to become payable from the reserve established under
16    Section 7-206 during the year for which this rate is fixed.
17        5. The percentage of earnings necessary to meet any
18    deficiency arising in the Terminated Municipality Reserve.
19    (c) A separate municipality contribution rate shall be
20computed for each participating municipality or participating
21instrumentality for its sheriff's law enforcement employees.
22    A separate municipality contribution rate shall be
23computed for the sheriff's law enforcement employees of each
24forest preserve district that elects to have such employees.
25For the period from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1986, such
26rate shall be the forest preserve district's regular rate plus

2    In the event that the Board determines that there is an
3actuarial deficiency in the account of any municipality with
4respect to a person who has elected to participate in the Fund
5under Section 3-109.1 of this Code, the Board may adjust the
6municipality's contribution rate so as to make up that
7deficiency over such reasonable period of time as the Board may
8determine.
9    (d) The Board may establish a separate municipality
10contribution rate for all employees who are program
11participants employed under the federal Comprehensive
12Employment Training Act by all of the participating
13municipalities and instrumentalities. The Board may also
14provide that, in lieu of a separate municipality rate for these
15employees, a portion of the municipality contributions for such
16program participants shall be refunded or an extra charge
17assessed so that the amount of municipality contributions
18retained or received by the fund for all CETA program
19participants shall be an amount equal to that which would be
20provided by the separate municipality contribution rate for all
21such program participants. Refunds shall be made to prime
22sponsors of programs upon submission of a claim therefor and
23extra charges shall be assessed to participating
24municipalities and instrumentalities. In establishing the
25municipality contribution rate as provided in paragraph (b) of
26this Section, the use of a separate municipality contribution

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 299 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1rate for program participants or the refund of a portion of the
2municipality contributions, as the case may be, may be
3considered.
4    (e) Computations of municipality contribution rates for
5the following calendar year shall be made prior to the
6beginning of each year, from the information available at the
7time the computations are made, and on the assumption that the
8employees in each participating municipality or participating
9instrumentality at such time will continue in service until the
10end of such calendar year at their respective rates of earnings
11at such time.
12    (f) Any municipality which is the recipient of State
13allocations representing that municipality's contributions for
14retirement annuity purposes on behalf of its employees as
15provided in Section 12-21.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code
16shall pay the allocations so received to the Board for such
17purpose. Estimates of State allocations to be received during
18any taxable year shall be considered in the determination of
19the municipality's tax rate for that year under Section 7-171.
20If a special tax is levied under Section 7-171, none of the
21proceeds may be used to reimburse the municipality for the
22amount of State allocations received and paid to the Board. Any
23multiple-county or consolidated health department which
24receives contributions from a county under Section 11.2 of "An
25Act in relation to establishment and maintenance of county and
26multiple-county health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 300 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1amended, or distributions under Section 3 of the Department of
2Public Health Act, shall use these only for municipality
3contributions by the health department.
4    (g) Municipality contributions for the several purposes
5specified shall, for township treasurers and employees in the
6offices of the township treasurers who meet the qualifying
7conditions for coverage hereunder, be allocated among the
8several school districts and parts of school districts serviced
9by such treasurers and employees in the proportion which the
10amount of school funds of each district or part of a district
11handled by the treasurer bears to the total amount of all
12school funds handled by the treasurer.
13    From the funds subject to allocation among districts and
14parts of districts pursuant to the School Code, the trustees
15shall withhold the proportionate share of the liability for
16municipality contributions imposed upon such districts by this
17Section, in respect to such township treasurers and employees
18and remit the same to the Board.
19    The municipality contribution rate for an educational
20service center shall initially be the same rate for each year
21as the regional office of education or school district which
22serves as its administrative agent. When actuarial data become
23available, a separate rate shall be established as provided in
24subparagraph (i) of this Section.
25    The municipality contribution rate for a public agency,
26other than a vocational education cooperative, formed under the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 301 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1Intergovernmental Cooperation Act shall initially be the
2average rate for the municipalities which are parties to the
3intergovernmental agreement. When actuarial data become
4available, a separate rate shall be established as provided in
5subparagraph (i) of this Section.
6    (h) Each participating municipality and participating
7instrumentality shall make the contributions in the amounts
8provided in this Section in the manner prescribed from time to
9time by the Board and all such contributions shall be
10obligations of the respective participating municipalities and
11participating instrumentalities to this fund. The failure to
12deduct any employee contributions shall not relieve the
13participating municipality or participating instrumentality of
14its obligation to this fund. Delinquent payments of
15contributions due under this Section may, with interest, be
16recovered by civil action against the participating
17municipalities or participating instrumentalities.
18Municipality contributions, other than the amount necessary
19for employee contributions and Social Security contributions,
20for periods of service by employees from whose earnings no
21deductions were made for employee contributions to the fund,
22may be charged to the municipality reserve for the municipality
23or participating instrumentality.
24    (i) Contributions by participating instrumentalities shall
25be determined as provided herein except that the percentage
26derived under subparagraph 2 of paragraph (b) of this Section,

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 302 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1and the amount payable under subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a) of
2this Section, shall be based on an amortization period of 10
3years.
4    (j) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section,
5the additional unfunded liability accruing as a result of this
6amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly shall be amortized
7over a period of 30 years beginning on January 1 of the second
8calendar year following the calendar year in which this
9amendatory Act takes effect, except that the employer may
10provide for a longer amortization period by adopting a
11resolution or ordinance specifying a 35-year or 40-year period
12and submitting a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution
13to the fund no later than June 1 of the calendar year following
14the calendar year in which this amendatory Act takes effect.

7    employee, of 3/4% of each payment of earnings.
8    (b) Each employee shall make contributions for Federal

10employee, as required by the Social Security Enabling Act and
11State and federal law. For participating employees, such
12contributions shall be in addition to those required under
13paragraph (a) of this Section.
14    (c) Contributions shall be deducted from each
15corresponding payment of earnings paid to each employee and
16shall be remitted to the board by the participating
17municipality or participating instrumentality making such
18payment. The remittance, together with a report of the earnings
19and contributions shall be made as directed by the board. For
20township treasurers and employees of township treasurers
21qualifying as employees hereunder, the contributions herein
22required as deductions from salary shall be withheld by the
23school township trustees from funds available for the payment

3additional contributions including interest credited thereon
4to the end of the preceding calendar year.
5    (e) Failure to make the deductions for employee
6contributions provided in paragraph (c) of this Section shall
7not relieve the employee from liability for such contributions.
8The amount of such liability may be deducted, with interest
9charged under Section 7-209, from any annuities or benefits
10payable hereunder to the employee or any other person receiving
11an annuity or benefit by reason of such employee's
12participation.
13    (f) A participating employee who has at least 40 years of
14creditable service in the Fund may elect to cease making the
15contributions required under this Section. The status of the
16employee under this Article shall be unaffected by this
17election, except that the employee shall not receive any
18additional creditable service for the periods of employment
19following the election. An election under this subsection
20relieves the employer from making additional employer
21contributions in relation to that employee.

2    opportunities for the children of this State who seek and
3    deserve quality education, but also benefit the entire
4    community that seeks improvement through access to
5    education.
6        (4) The equitable and efficient use of available
7    facilities-related resources among different schools and
8    among racial, ethnic, income, and disability groups is
9    essential to maximize the development of quality public
10    educational facilities for all children, youth, and
11    adults. The factors that impact the equitable and efficient
12    use of facility-related resources vary according to the
13    needs of each school community. Therefore, decisions that
14    impact school facilities should include the input of the
15    school community to the greatest extent possible.
16        (5) School openings, school closings, school
17    consolidations, school turnarounds, school phase-outs,
18    school construction, school repairs, school
19    modernizations, school boundary changes, and other related
20    school facility decisions often have a profound impact on
21    education in a community. In order to minimize the negative
22    impact of school facility decisions on the community, these
23    decisions should be implemented according to a clear
24    system-wide criteria and with the significant involvement
25    of local school councils, parents, educators, and the
26    community in decision-making.

5    Sec. 5. Policy and purpose. The General Assembly finds
6that the decreasing cost of computer technology makes it
7possible today to equip more children than ever before with
821st century learning tools. The dramatic expansion of low-cost
9computing options and the worldwide reliance on computer

13Board of Education shall establish a pilot project whereby
14schools will provide a low-cost laptop computer to each
15student, teacher, and relevant administrator in a
16participating school and implement the use of educational
17software and computer skills training in order to improve
18academic achievement and the progress measures listed in

1regulator with an appropriate supervisory interest in the
2parent or affiliate of a state bank. In the performance of the
3Secretary's duties:
4    (1) The Commissioner shall call for statements from all
5State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time during
6each calendar quarter.
7    (2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner
8shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently than 18
9months following the preceding examination, shall appoint a
10suitable person or persons to make an examination of the
11affairs of every State bank, except that for every eligible
12State bank, as defined by regulation, the Commissioner in lieu
13of the examination may accept on an alternating basis the
14examination made by the eligible State bank's appropriate
15federal banking agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal
16Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991,
17provided the appropriate federal banking agency has made such
18an examination. A person so appointed shall not be a
19stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which that
20person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers to
21make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the bank
22and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents or
23employees thereof on oath and shall make a full and detailed
24report of the condition of the bank to the Commissioner. In
25making the examination the examiners shall include an
26examination of the affairs of all the affiliates of the bank,

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 591 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

5and the effect of those relations upon the affairs of the bank,
6and in connection therewith shall have power to examine any of
7the officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
8subsidiaries or affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the

10regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
11examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
12Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank
13branches from those state regulatory authorities. These
14cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in which the
15other state regulatory authorities may be compensated for
16examinations prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
17    (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized to
18examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary or
19proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The Commissioner may
20establish and may assess fees to be paid to the Commissioner
21for examinations under this subsection (b). The fees shall be
22borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees are borne by
23the state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
24bank, as determined by a cooperative agreement between the
25Commissioner and the state regulatory authority that chartered
26the out-of-state bank.

3out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract or
4otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off its
5premises:
6        (a) that performance shall be subject to examination by
7    the Commissioner to the same extent as if services were
8    being performed by the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch
9    of the out-of-state bank itself on its own premises; and
10        (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
11    out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
12    existence of a service relationship. The notification
13    shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
14    (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the
15    making of the service contract or the performance of the
16    service, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner shall be
17    notified of each subsequent contract in the same manner.
18    For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
19services" means services such as sorting and posting of checks
20and deposits, computation and posting of interest and other
21credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,
22statements, notices, and similar items, or any other clerical,
23bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or similar functions

HB2853 Engrossed- 593 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in this
2Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from the fees
3provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and (b) of this
4subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by the State
5banks:
6        (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call Report
7    Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments equal to
8    one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of $800, plus
9    a variable fee based on the assets shown on the quarterly
10    statement of condition delivered to the Secretary in
11    accordance with Section 47 for the preceding quarter

14    next $20,000,000 of total assets, 13¢ per $1,000 of the
15    next $75,000,000 of total assets, 9¢ per $1,000 of the next
16    $400,000,000 of total assets, 7¢ per $1,000 of the next
17    $500,000,000 of total assets, and 5¢ per $1,000 of all

19    Call Report Fee shall be calculated by the Secretary and
20    billed to the banks for remittance at the time of the

24    automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
25    In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed by
26    the Secretary to be necessary in any examination frequency

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 594 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    cycle specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
2    performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
3    reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
4    additional examination; provided, however, that an
5    examination conducted at the request of the State Treasurer
6    pursuant to the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property
7    Act shall not be deemed to be an additional examination
8    under this Section. In lieu of the method and amounts set
9    forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call
10    Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule that the Call
11    Report Fees provided by this Section may be assessed
12    semiannually or some other period and may provide in the
13    rule the formula to be used for calculating and assessing
14    the periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
15        (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
16    emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner may
17    assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of a
18    State bank with whatever frequency he deems appropriate,
19    including but not limited to a daily basis. The reasonable
20    and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during the
21    period of the monitoring shall be borne by the subject
22    bank. The Commissioner shall furnish the State bank a
23    statement of time and expenses if requested to do so within
24    30 days of the conclusion of the monitoring period.

1    of the performance of electronic data processing services
2    under subsection (2.5) shall be borne by the banks for
3    which the services are provided. An amount, based upon a
4    fee structure prescribed by the Commissioner, shall be paid
5    by the banks or, after May 31, 1997, branches of
6    out-of-state banks receiving the electronic data
7    processing services along with the Call Report Fee assessed
8    under paragraph (a) of this subsection (3).
9        (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and necessary
10    expenses of the Commissioner during examination of the
11    performance of electronic data processing services under
12    subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of
13    out-of-state banks shall be borne by the out-of-state
14    banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
15    regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
16    banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between the
17    Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities that
18    chartered the out-of-state banks.
19        (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48 is
20    defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and ending
21    June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall receive
22    for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year
23    ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the lesser
24    of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State banks under
25    paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that year, or the
26    amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the administration

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 596 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year
2    exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the fees payable by all
3    State banks for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection
4    (3), plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
5    Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that year,
6    plus all other amounts collected by the Commissioner for
7    that year under any other provision of this Act, plus the
8    aggregate of all fees collected for that year by the
9    Commissioner under the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding
10    the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the
11    Corporate Fiduciary Act, and the Foreign Banking Office
12    Act. The aggregate amount of the contingent fee thus
13    arrived at for any fiscal year shall be apportioned
14    amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
15    foreign banking corporations, respectively, in the same
16    proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
17    subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
18    aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
19    paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
20    the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
21    upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
22    respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner and
23    shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120 days of the
24    close of the period for which the contingent fee is
25    computed and is payable, and the Commissioner shall give 20
26    days advance notice of the amount of the contingent fee

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 597 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

6    and for otherwise administering, this Act, the Corporate
7    Fiduciary Act, excluding the expenses paid from the
8    Corporate Fiduciary Receivership account in the Bank and
9    Trust Company Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the
10    Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank
11    Examiners' Education Foundation Act, including all
12    salaries and other compensation paid for personal services

19    or improvement of, or for the use of, any office space,
20    building, or structure, or expenditures for the
21    maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat, light, or power
22    with respect thereto, all to the extent that those
23    expenditures are directly incidental to such examinations
24    or administration. The Commissioner shall not be required
25    by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of this subsection (3) to
26    maintain in any fiscal year's budget appropriated reserves

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 598 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    for accrued vacation and accrued sick leave that is
2    required to be paid to employees of the Commissioner upon
3    termination of their service with the Commissioner in an
4    amount that is more than is reasonably anticipated to be
5    necessary for any anticipated turnover in employees,
6    whether due to normal attrition or due to layoffs,
7    terminations, or resignations.
8        (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
9    Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, or
10    the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1, 1979,
11    shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
12    accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the State
13    treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund to be
14    known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund", except as
15    provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
16    Section. All earnings received from investments of funds in
17    the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be deposited in the
18    Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same
19    purposes as fees deposited in that Fund. The amount from
20    time to time deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
21    shall be used: (i) to offset the ordinary administrative
22    expenses of the Secretary as defined in this Section or
23    (ii) as a credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
24    subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
25    shall prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
26    involving salaries, retirement, social security, and

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 599 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
2    appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, the
3    General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments
4    made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of
5    funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the
6    Bank and Trust Company Fund may be transferred to the
7    Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under
8    Section 2105-300 of the Department of Professional
9    Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
10    Illinois.
11        Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
12    as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
13    contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be transferred from
14    the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the Financial
15    Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the effective date
16    of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, or as
17    soon thereafter as practical.
18        Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
19    as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
20    contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year through
21    January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the State
22    Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum not
23    exceeding 10% of the revenues to be deposited into the Bank
24    and Trust Company Fund during that fiscal year from that
25    Fund to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
26    the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 600 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act, as now
2    or hereafter amended, or any other law to the contrary, the
3    total sum transferred during any fiscal year through
4    January 10, 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to
5    the General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
6    not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues to be
7    deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during that
8    fiscal year. The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall
9    transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon
10    as may be practicable after receiving the direction to
11    transfer from the Governor.
12        (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank and
13    Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
14    administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
15    administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
16    fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
17    transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the
18    balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
19    transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
20    appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the
21    subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be
22    credited to State banks and foreign banking corporations
23    and applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
24    amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
25    corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
26    Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 601 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
2    transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no
3    remainder is available for transfer, the balance of the
4    Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the
5    total initial appropriations for the subsequent year and
6    the amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
7    Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to make
8    the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report Fees for
9    the year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and
10    paid by the State banks and foreign banking corporations in
11    the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
12    respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
13    Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
14    assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
15    Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
16    calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner shall
17    exclude the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10
18    of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
19        (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to any
20    public record in his keeping and shall have authority to
21    levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of any
22    public record in his keeping.
23        (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in this
24    Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a review,
25    approval, or provision of a service, levy a reasonable
26    charge to recover the cost of the review, approval, or

2    (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
3limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
4any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured by
5the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in any
6way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
7examinations and reports of that bank.
8    (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or investment
9of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for officers or
10employees of every State bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of
11an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be included in the
12affairs of that State bank or branch of an out-of-state bank
13subject to examination by the Commissioner under the provisions
14of subsection (2) of this Section, and if the Commissioner
15shall find from an examination that the condition of or
16operation of the investments or assets of the plan is unlawful,
17fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his
18trust, the Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
19Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction within
2060 days after the Commissioner has given notice to the board of
21directors of the State bank or out-of-state bank of his
22findings, report the facts to the Attorney General who shall
23thereupon institute proceedings against the State bank or
24out-of-state bank, the board of directors thereof, or the
25trustees under such plan as the nature of the case may require.

15    needed to assure full and prompt performance of the
16    Association's duties under this Article or that the
17    economic or financial conditions as they affect member
18    insurers are sufficiently adverse to render the imposition
19    of such permanent policy or contract liens to be in the
20    public interest; or
21        (2) subject to approval by a court in this State,
22    impose temporary moratoriums or liens on payments of cash

1management practice and the municipality enacts an ordinance
2establishing standards for non-emergency vegetation management
3practices that are contrary to the standards established by
4this Section and the vegetation management activities of the
5electric public utility cost substantially more, as a direct
6consequence, then the electric public utility may, before
7vegetation management activities begin, apply to the
8municipality for an agreement to pay the additional cost. When
9an application for an agreement is made to the municipality, no
10vegetation management activities shall begin until the
11municipality responds to the application by agreement or
12rejection or dispute resolution proceedings are completed. The
13application shall be supported by a detailed specification of
14the difference between the standards established by this
15Section and the contrary standards established by the municipal
16ordinances and by a good faith bid or proposal obtained from a
17utility contractor or contractors quantifying the additional
18cost for performing the specification. When the municipality
19receives the specification and the utility contractor's bid or
20proposal, the municipality shall agree, reject, or initiate
21dispute resolution proceedings regarding the application
22within 90 days after the application's receipt. If the
23municipality does not act within 90 days or informs the utility
24that it will not agree, the electric public utility may proceed
25and need not comply with the contrary ordinance standard. When
26there is a dispute regarding (i) the accuracy of the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 708 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1specification, (ii) whether there is a conflict with the
2standards established by this Section, or (iii) any aspect of
3the bid or proposal process, the Illinois Commerce Commission
4shall hear and resolve the disputed matter or matters, with the
5electric public utility having the burden of proof. A
6municipality may have a person trained in tree care and
7maintenance generally monitor and discuss with the vegetation
8management supervisory personnel of the electric public
9utility the performance of the public utility's vegetation
10management activities without any claim for costs hereunder by
11the public utility arising therefrom.
12    The provisions of this Section shall not in any way
13diminish or replace other civil or administrative remedies
14available to a customer or class of customers or a property
15owner or class of property owners under this Act. This Section
16does not alter the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce
17Commission in any manner except to obligate the Commission to
18investigate, issue, and hear complaints against an electric
19public utility as provided in subsection (a)(2) (a)(3) and to
20hear and resolve disputed matters brought to it as provided in
21this subsection. Vegetation management activities by an
22electric public utility shall not alter, trespass upon, or
23limit the rights of any property owner.

14    who do not have creditable coverage, as defined under the
15    Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or
16    have otherwise exhausted any insurance benefits they may

16    In implementing the provisions of Public Act 96-20, the
17Department is authorized to adopt only those rules necessary,
18including emergency rules. Nothing in Public Act 96-20 permits
19the Department to adopt rules or issue a decision that expands
20eligibility for the FamilyCare Program to a person whose income
21exceeds 185% of the Federal Poverty Level as determined from
22time to time by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
23Services, unless the Department is provided with express

3under this Article is not affected by the payment of any grant
4under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax
5Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act or any distributions
6or items of income described under subparagraph (X) of
7paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois
8Income Tax Act. The Department shall by rule establish the
9amounts of assets to be disregarded in determining eligibility

13person to be disregarded shall not be less than $2,000, and the
14amount of assets of a married couple to be disregarded shall
15not be less than $3,000.

5    (305 ILCS 5/5-5.4f)
6    Sec. 5-5.4f. Intermediate care facilities for the
7developmentally disabled quality workforce initiative.
8    (a) Legislative intent. Individuals with developmental
9disabilities who live in community-based settings rely on
10direct support staff for a variety of supports and services
11essential to the ability to reach their full potential. A
12stable, well-trained direct support workforce is critical to
13the well-being of these individuals. State and national studies
14have documented high rates of turnover among direct support
15workers and confirmed that improvements in wages can help
16reduce turnover and develop a more stable and committed
17workforce. This Section would increase the wages and benefits
18for direct care workers supporting individuals with
19developmental disabilities and provide accountability by
20ensuring that additional resources go directly to these
21workers.
22    (b) Reimbursement. Notwithstanding any provision of
23Section 5-5.4, in order to attract and retain a stable,
24qualified, and healthy workforce, beginning July 1, 2010, the
25Department of Healthcare and Family Services may reimburse an

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 791 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1individual intermediate care facility for the developmentally
2disabled for spending incurred to provide improved wages and
3benefits to its employees serving the individuals residing in
4the facility. Reimbursement shall be based upon patient days
5reported in the facility's most recent cost report. Subject to
6available appropriations, this reimbursement shall be made
7according to the following criteria:
8        (1) The Department shall reimburse the facility to
9    compensate for spending on improved wages and benefits for
10    its eligible employees. Eligible employees include
11    employees engaged in direct care work.
12        (2) In order to qualify for reimbursement under this
13    Section, a facility must submit to the Department, before
14    January 1 of each year, documentation of a written, legally
15    binding commitment to increase spending for the purpose of
16    providing improved wages and benefits to its eligible
17    employees during the next year. The commitment must be
18    binding as to both existing and future staff. The
19    commitment must include a method of enforcing the
20    commitment that is available to the employees or their
21    representative and is expeditious, uses a neutral
22    decision-maker, and is economical for the employees. The
23    Department must also receive documentation of the
24    facility's provision of written notice of the commitment
25    and the availability of the enforcement mechanism to the
26    employees or their representative.

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 792 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1        (3) Reimbursement shall be based on the amount of
2    increased spending to be incurred by the facility for
3    improving wages and benefits that exceeds the spending
4    reported in the cost report currently used by the
5    Department. Reimbursement shall be calculated as follows:
6    the per diem equivalent of the quarterly difference between
7    the cost to provide improved wages and benefits for covered
8    eligible employees as identified in the legally binding
9    commitment and the previous period cost of wages and
10    benefits as reported in the cost report currently used by
11    the Department, subject to the limitations identified in
12    paragraph (2) of this subsection. In no event shall the per
13    diem increase be in excess of $5.00 for any 12 month period
14    for an intermediate care facility for the developmentally
15    disabled with more than 16 beds, or in excess of $6.00 for
16    any 12 month period for an intermediate care facility for
17    the developmentally disabled with 16 beds or less.
18        (4) Any intermediate care facility for the
19    developmentally disabled is eligible to receive
20    reimbursement under this Section. A facility's eligibility
21    to receive reimbursement shall continue as long as the
22    facility maintains eligibility under paragraph (2) of this
23    subsection and the reimbursement program continues to
24    exist.
25    (c) Audit. Reimbursement under this Section is subject to
26audit by the Department and shall be reduced or eliminated in

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 793 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1the case of any facility that does not honor its commitment to
2increase spending to improve the wages and benefits of its
3employees or that decreases such spending.

15likely to be determined deficient upon conclusion of the
16Department's quality assurance review process. Prior to the
17conclusion of the on-site review, the facility shall be given
18the opportunity to address the specific areas of missing
19documentation. A facility disputing any rate change may submit
20an appeal request pursuant to provisions established at 89 Ill.
21Adm. Code 140.830. An appeal hearing may be requested if the
22facility believes that the basis for reducing the facility's
23MDS rate was in error. The facility may not offer any
24additional documentation during the appeal hearing, but may
25identify documentation provided during the on-site review that

23approval based on a preferred drug list for anti-retroviral,
24anti-hemophilic factor concentrates, or any atypical
25antipsychotics, conventional antipsychotics, or

2illnesses until 30 days after it has conducted a study of the
3impact of such requirements on patient care and submitted a
4report to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the
5President of the Senate.
6    (e) When making determinations as to which drugs shall be
7on a prior approval list, the Department shall include as part
8of the analysis for this determination, the degree to which a
9drug may affect individuals in different ways based on factors
10including the gender of the person taking the medication.
11    (f) (e) The Department shall cooperate with the Department
12of Public Health and the Department of Human Services Division
13of Mental Health in identifying psychotropic medications that,
14when given in a particular form, manner, duration, or frequency

17constitute a chemical restraint or an "unnecessary drug" as
18defined by the Nursing Home Care Act or Titles XVIII and XIX of
19the Social Security Act and the implementing rules and
20regulations. The Department shall require prior approval for
21any such medication prescribed for a nursing home resident that

23    or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
24    order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,

HB2853 Engrossed- 963 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
2    hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
3    State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the
4    privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
5    petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
6    employment or within the scope of the petitioner's

19    living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare.
20    The petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means
21    of transportation is reasonably available and that the

2        Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
3        local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
4        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
5        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
6        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
7        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
8        occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
9        driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
10        been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
11        defined in Section 1-129.1.
12            (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
13        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
14        to any combination of:
15                (i) a single conviction of violating Section

17            local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
18            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
19            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
20            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
21            offense; or
22                (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
23            Section 11-501.1; or
24                (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
25        arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if

3            (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
4        use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
5        Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
6        not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall
7        establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
8        and conditions relating to these fees.
9            (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
10        employment purposes, then the prohibition against
11        operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
12        ignition interlock device does not apply to the
13        operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
14        that person's employer when used solely for employment
15        purposes.
16            (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
17        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
18        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
19        within one year from the date of issuance. The
20        Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
21        permit to any person whose current revocation is the
22        result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
23        violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
24        provision of a local ordinance or any similar
25        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
26        Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs

1        is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
2        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
3        offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
4        from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
5        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
6        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
7        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
8        a driver's license issued under this Code may be
9        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
10        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
11        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
12        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
13        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
14        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
15        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
16        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
17        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
18        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
19        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
20        complete the program.

9subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
10by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
11will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
12the notice.

17provisions of this Section, require the applicant to

24            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
25            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
26            offense; or

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 981 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1                (ii) a statutory summary suspension or
2            revocation under Section 11-501.1; or

22        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
23        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
24        within one year from the date of issuance. The

2        violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar

4        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
5        Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
6        is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
7        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
8        offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
9        from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
10        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
11        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
12        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
13        a driver's license issued under this Code may be
14        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
15        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
16        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
17        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
18        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
19        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
20        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
21        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
22        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
23        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
24        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
25        complete the program.

18    specified is incorrect. The violation notice shall state
19    that the completion of any required traffic education
20    program, the payment of any indicated fine, and the payment

3    violation notice by affixing the original or a facsimile of
4    the notice to an unlawfully parked vehicle or by handing
5    the notice to the operator of a vehicle if he or she is
6    present and service of an automated traffic law violation
7    notice by mail to the address of the registered owner of
8    the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State
9    within 30 days after the Secretary of State notifies the
10    municipality or county of the identity of the owner of the
11    vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the
12    violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and
13    serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices
14    shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered on
15    the violation notice by signing his or her name to the
16    notice at the time of service or in the case of a notice
17    produced by a computerized device, by signing a single
18    certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance
19    administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices
20    produced by the device while it was under his or her
21    control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation,
22    the ordinance shall require a determination by a technician
23    employed or contracted by the municipality or county that,
24    based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle

HB2853 Engrossed- 1008 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    determines that the vehicle entered the intersection as
2    part of a funeral procession or in order to yield the
3    right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation shall not
4    be issued. In municipalities with a population of less than
5    1,000,000 inhabitants and counties with a population of
6    less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the automated traffic law
7    ordinance shall require that all determinations by a
8    technician that a motor vehicle was being operated in
9    violation of Section 11-208.6 or 11-1201.1 or a local
10    ordinance must be reviewed and approved by a law
11    enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer of
12    the municipality or county issuing the violation. In
13    municipalities with a population of 1,000,000 or more
14    inhabitants and counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
15    more inhabitants, the automated traffic law ordinance
16    shall require that all determinations by a technician that
17    a motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section
18    11-208.6 or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed
19    and approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
20    enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
21    the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing
22    technician who is not employed by the contractor who
23    employs the technician who made the initial determination.
24    As used in this paragraph, "fully-trained reviewing
25    technician" means a person who has received at least 40
26    hours of supervised training in subjects which shall

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1009 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    include image inspection and interpretation, the elements
2    necessary to prove a violation, license plate
3    identification, and traffic safety and management. In all
4    municipalities and counties, the automated traffic law
5    ordinance shall require that no additional fee shall be
6    charged to the alleged violator for exercising his or her
7    right to an administrative hearing, and persons shall be
8    given at least 25 days following an administrative hearing
9    to pay any civil penalty imposed by a finding that Section
10    11-208.6 or 11-1201.1 or a similar local ordinance has been
11    violated. The original or a facsimile of the violation
12    notice or, in the case of a notice produced by a
13    computerized device, a printed record generated by the
14    device showing the facts entered on the notice, shall be
15    retained by the traffic compliance administrator, and
16    shall be a record kept in the ordinary course of business.
17    A parking, standing, compliance, or automated traffic law
18    violation notice issued, signed and served in accordance
19    with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the computer
20    generated record shall be prima facie correct and shall be
21    prima facie evidence of the correctness of the facts shown
22    on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer generated
23    record shall be admissible in any subsequent
24    administrative or legal proceedings.

6    in the violation notice likewise shall be provided an
7    opportunity for a hearing of the same kind afforded the
8    registered owner. The hearings shall be recorded, and the

22    recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,
23    or, under Section 11-1306 of this Code, to the lessee of
24    the cited vehicle at the last address known to the lessor
25    of the cited vehicle at the time of lease or, if any notice

17consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
18ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
19shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section

19    complete the test or tests to determine the person's
20    alcohol concentration; and
21        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
22    officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
23    would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test
24    or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
25    concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and complete
26    the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1050 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

25issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1116 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1subsection for one or more of the requested remedies. For each
2remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
3        (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9;
4        (2) The requirements of Section 112A-14 are satisfied;
5    and
6        (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless
7    of prior service of process or of notice upon the
8    respondent, because:
9            (i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
10        described in Section 112A-14(b)(1), "stay away order
11        and additional prohibitions" described in Section
12        112A-14(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child"
13        described in Section 112A-14(b)(8), "order to appear"
14        described in Section 112A-14(b)(9), "physical care and
15        possession of the minor child" described in Section
16        112A-14(b)(5), "protection of property" described in
17        Section 112A-14(b)(11), "prohibition of entry"
18        described in Section 112A-14(b)(14), "prohibition of
19        firearm possession" described in Section
20        112A-14(b)(14.5), "prohibition of access to records"
21        described in Section 112A-14(b)(15), and "injunctive
22        relief" described in Section 112A-14(b)(16), the harm
23        which that remedy is intended to prevent would be
24        likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior
25        notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of
26        the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1117 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1            (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive
2        possession of residence" described in Section
3        112A-14(b)(2), the immediate danger of further abuse
4        of petitioner by respondent, if petitioner chooses or
5        had chosen to remain in the residence or household
6        while respondent was given any prior notice or greater
7        notice than was actually given of petitioner's efforts
8        to obtain judicial relief, outweighs the hardships to
9        respondent of an emergency order granting petitioner
10        exclusive possession of the residence or household.
11        This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has
12        or could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while
13        prior notice is given to respondent, unless the
14        hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home
15        substantially outweigh those to petitioner.
16            (iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal
17        property" described in Section 112A-14(b)(10),
18        improper disposition of the personal property would be
19        likely to occur if respondent were given any prior
20        notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of
21        petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
22        petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for
23        possession of that property.
24    An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal
25custody, payment of support or monetary compensation remedies.
26    (b) Appearance by respondent. If respondent appears in

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1118 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1court for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
2elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
3order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section.
4Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all
5requirements of Section 112A-18 have been met, the Court may
6issue a 30-day interim order.
7    (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
8        (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at the
9    close of business, the petitioner may file a petition for a
10    21-day emergency order before any available circuit judge
11    or associate judge who may grant relief under this Article.
12    If the judge finds that there is an immediate and present
13    danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner has
14    satisfied the prerequisites set forth in subsection (a) of
15    Section 112A-17, that judge may issue an emergency order of
16    protection.
17        (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the circuit
18    court may designate for each county in the circuit at least
19    one judge to be reasonably available to issue orally, by
20    telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an emergency order
21    of protection at all times, whether or not the court is in
22    session.
23        (2) Certification and transfer. The judge who issued
24    the order under this Section shall promptly communicate or
25    convey the order to the sheriff to facilitate the entry of
26    the order into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System by

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1119 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    the Department of State Police pursuant to Section 112A-28.
2    Any order issued under this Section and any documentation
3    in support thereof shall be certified on the next court day
4    to the appropriate court. The clerk of that court shall
5    immediately assign a case number, file the petition, order
6    and other documents with the court and enter the order of
7    record and file it with the sheriff for service, in
8    accordance with Section 112A-22. Filing the petition shall
9    commence proceedings for further relief, under Section

11    subsection shall not affect the validity of the order.

2    or if convicted of an offense enumerated in paragraph
3    (a)(2.4) of this Section that is committed on or after July

5    first degree murder, a Class X felony, criminal sexual
6    assault, felony criminal sexual abuse, aggravated criminal
7    sexual abuse, aggravated battery with a firearm, or any
8    predecessor or successor offenses with the same or
9    substantially the same elements, or any inchoate offenses
10    relating to the foregoing offenses. No inmate shall be
11    eligible for the additional good conduct credit under this
12    paragraph (4) who (i) has previously received increased
13    good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) and has
14    subsequently been convicted of a felony, or (ii) has
15    previously served more than one prior sentence of
16    imprisonment for a felony in an adult correctional
17    facility.
18        Educational, vocational, substance abuse and
19    correctional industry programs under which good conduct
20    credit may be increased under this paragraph (4) and
21    paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a) shall be evaluated
22    by the Department on the basis of documented standards. The
23    Department shall report the results of these evaluations to
24    the Governor and the General Assembly by September 30th of
25    each year. The reports shall include data relating to the
26    recidivism rate among program participants.

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1131 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1        Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
2    limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
3    Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are
4    denied immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting
5    list under criteria established by the Department. The
6    inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such
7    programs by reason of insufficient program resources or for
8    any other reason established under the rules and
9    regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause
10    of action under which the Department or any employee or
11    agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the
12    inmate.
13        (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
14    an additional 60 days of good conduct credit shall be
15    awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level
16    Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the
17    prisoner is incarcerated. The good conduct credit awarded
18    under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and
19    shall not affect, the award of good conduct under any other
20    paragraph of this Section, but shall also be pursuant to
21    the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4)
22    of subsection (a) of this Section. The good conduct credit
23    provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to
24    those prisoners who have not previously earned a high
25    school diploma or a GED. If, after an award of the GED good
26    conduct credit has been made and the Department determines

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1132 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be
2    revoked.
3        (4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall
4    also provide that when the court's sentencing order
5    recommends a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
6    crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
7    effective date of Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall
8    receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of
9    this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and
10    completes a substance abuse treatment program. The
11    Director may waive the requirement to participate in or
12    complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the
13    good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner
14    is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment
15    program for medical, programming, or operational reasons.
16    Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be subject
17    to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the
18    General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
19    available and the requirement to participate and complete
20    the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the
21    prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
22    established by the Department. The Director may allow a
23    prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
24    complete a substance abuse education class or attend
25    substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance
26    abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1133 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release
2    may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct
3    credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
4    discretion of the Director.
5        (4.6) The rules and regulations on early release shall
6    also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a
7    sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
8    Registration Act shall receive no good conduct credit
9    unless he or she either has successfully completed or is
10    participating in sex offender treatment as defined by the
11    Sex Offender Management Board. However, prisoners who are
12    waiting to receive such treatment, but who are unable to do
13    so due solely to the lack of resources on the part of the
14    Department, may, at the Director's sole discretion, be
15    awarded good conduct credit at such rate as the Director
16    shall determine.
17        (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
18    earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of good
19    conduct credit for meritorious service given at any time
20    during the term, the Department shall give reasonable
21    notice of the impending release not less than 14 days prior
22    to the date of the release to the State's Attorney of the
23    county where the prosecution of the inmate took place, and
24    if applicable, the State's Attorney of the county into
25    which the inmate will be released. The Department must also
26    make identification information and a recent photo of the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1134 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1    inmate being released accessible on the Internet by means
2    of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate
3    Early Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage.
4    The identification information shall include the inmate's:
5    name, any known alias, date of birth, physical
6    characteristics, residence address, commitment offense and
7    county where conviction was imposed. The identification
8    information shall be placed on the website within 3 days of
9    the inmate's release and the information may not be removed
10    until either: completion of the first year of mandatory
11    supervised release or return of the inmate to custody of
12    the Department.
13    (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
14several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
15shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
16forfeiting of good time.
17    (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
18for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing the
19rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific rule
20violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
21shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
22year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.
23    When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
24rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for an alleged
25infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges therefor
26against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of good conduct

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1135 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided in
2subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
3amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
4month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
530 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
6within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
7Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good
8conduct credit. The Board may subsequently approve the
9revocation of additional good conduct credit, if the Department
10seeks to revoke good conduct credit in excess of 30 days.
11However, the Board shall not be empowered to review the
12Department's decision with respect to the loss of 30 days of
13good conduct credit within any calendar year for any prisoner
14or to increase any penalty beyond the length requested by the
15Department.
16    The Director of the Department of Corrections, in
17appropriate cases, may restore up to 30 days good conduct
18credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced. Any
19restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days shall
20be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the
21Board may not restore good conduct credit in excess of the
22amount requested by the Director.
23    Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
24Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
253-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
26sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1136 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1accumulation of good conduct credit.
2    (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
3federal court against the State, the Department of Corrections,
4or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of their officers
5or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
6pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is
7frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a
8hearing to revoke up to 180 days of good conduct credit by
9bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived of
10the good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
11provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
12If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of good conduct
13credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
14Board may revoke all good conduct credit accumulated by the
15prisoner.
16    For purposes of this subsection (d):
17        (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other
18    filing which purports to be a legal document filed by a
19    prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the
20    following criteria:
21            (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in
22        fact;
23            (B) it is being presented for any improper purpose,
24        such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or
25        needless increase in the cost of litigation;
26            (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal

 

 

HB2853 Engrossed- 1137 -LRB097 02957 AMC 42981 b

1        contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
2        or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
3        modification, or reversal of existing law or the
4        establishment of new law;
5            (D) the allegations and other factual contentions
6        do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
7        identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support
8        after a reasonable opportunity for further
9        investigation or discovery; or
10            (E) the denials of factual contentions are not
11        warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
12        identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
13        information or belief.
14        (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3
15    of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus
16    action under Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or
17    under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254), a petition for claim
18    under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the federal

2the court is of the opinion that:
3        (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
4    necessary for the protection of the public; or
5        (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
6    the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be

8        (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
9    consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
10    into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug

12    public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
13    The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
14probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
15probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
16intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
17circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
18sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
19subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.

20money that may be found due to the plaintiff, over and above
21the proceeds of the sale or sales, and enforcement may be had
22for the collection of such balance, the same as when the
23judgment is solely for the payment of money. Such judgment may
24be entered, or enforcement had, only in cases where personal
25service has been had upon the persons personally liable for the
26mortgage indebtedness, unless they have entered their

1appearance in the foreclosure action.

22personally name, include, or seek an award of possession of the
23mortgaged real estate against a person in the confirmation
24order shall not abrogate any right that the purchaser may have
25to possession of the mortgaged real estate and to maintain a
26proceeding against that person for possession under Article 9
