AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2980

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2980 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing Section 1-130 as follows:

(35 ILCS 200/1-130)

Sec. 1-130. Property; real property; real estate; land; tract; lot.

(a) The land itself, with all things contained therein, and also all buildings, structures and improvements, and other permanent fixtures thereon, including all oil, gas, coal, and other minerals in the land and the right to remove oil, gas and other minerals, excluding coal, from the land, and all rights and privileges belonging or pertaining thereto, except where otherwise specified by this Code. Not included therein are low-income housing tax credits authorized by Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 42.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, mobile homes and manufactured homes that (i) are located outside of mobile home parks and (ii) are taxed under the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall continue to be taxed under the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act and shall not be classified, assessed, and taxed as real property until the home is sold or transferred or until the home is relocated to a different parcel of land outside of a mobile home park. If a mobile home described in this subsection (b) is sold, transferred, or relocated to a different parcel of land outside of a mobile home park, then the home shall be classified, assessed, and taxed as real property. Mobile homes and manufactured homes that are classified, assessed, and taxed as real property on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall continue to be classified, assessed, and taxed as real property. If a mobile or manufactured home that is located outside of a mobile home park is relocated to a mobile home park, it must be considered chattel and must be taxed according to the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act. The owner of a mobile home or manufactured home that is located outside of a mobile home park may file a request with the county that the home be classified, assessed, and taxed as real property.

(c) Mobile homes and manufactured homes that are located in mobile home parks must be considered chattel and must be taxed according to the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act.

(d) If the provisions of this Section conflict with the Illinois Manufactured Housing and Mobile Home Safety Act, the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act, the Mobile Home Park Act, or any other provision of law with respect to the taxation of mobile homes or manufactured homes located outside of mobile home parks, the provisions of this Section shall control.

(e) For purposes of this Act, a portable self-serve pet wash vending station shall not be classified, assessed, or taxed as real property, regardless of whether or not that pet wash vending station requires a utility connection for water, sewer, electric, or internet service. As used in this Section, a "portable self-serve pet wash vending station" is a moveable structure operated or operable by the insertion of coins, tokens, chips, or similar objects, and designed for the purpose of bathing or grooming a companion animal, as that term is defined in the Humane Care for Animals Act.
