(305 ILCS 5/5C-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 5C-2)

Sec. 5C-2. Assessment; no local authorization to tax.

(a) For the privilege of engaging in the occupation of developmentally disabled care provider, an assessment is imposed upon each developmentally disabled care provider in an amount equal to 6%, or the maximum allowed under federal regulation, whichever is less, of its adjusted gross developmentally disabled care revenue for the prior State fiscal year. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Act to the contrary, this assessment shall be construed as a tax, but may not be added to the charges of an individual's nursing home care that is paid for in whole, or in part, by a federal, State, or combined federal-state medical care program, except those individuals receiving Medicare Part B benefits solely.

(b) Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1995 shall be construed to authorize any home rule unit or other unit of local government to license for revenue or impose a tax or assessment upon a developmentally disabled care provider or the occupation of developmentally disabled care provider, or a tax or assessment measured by the income or earnings of a developmentally disabled care provider.
