6 of company officer shall be supervisors.

13 officers in the Department of State Police, a bargaining unit
14 determined by the Board shall not include both employees and

33 sworn peace officers of the Department of Natural Resources
34 (formerly designated the Department of Conservation) shall
HB1269 Enrolled -11- LRB9001000EGfg
1 contain no employees other than such sworn peace officers
2 upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1990 or
3 upon the expiration date of any collective bargaining
4 agreement in effect upon the effective date of this
5 amendatory Act of 1990 covering both such sworn peace
6 officers and other employees.
7 (2) Notwithstanding the exclusion of supervisors from
8 bargaining units as provided in paragraph (1) of this
9 subsection (s), a public employer may agree to permit its
10 supervisory employees to form bargaining units and may
11 bargain with those units. This Act shall apply if the public
12 employer chooses to bargain under this subsection.

27 purposes of this Section.

31 (c) Beginning in taxable year 1994, a senior citizens

7 cooperative association or its management firm shall credit
8 the savings resulting from that exemption only to the
9 apportioned tax liability of the owner who qualified for the
10 exemption. Any person who willfully refuses to credit that
11 savings to an owner who qualifies for the exemption is guilty
12 of a Class B misdemeanor.
13 When a homestead exemption has been granted under this
14 Section and an applicant then becomes a resident of a

22 the surviving spouse does not independently qualify for this
23 exemption because of age, the exemption under this Section

27 qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those
28 years.
29 When married persons maintain separate residences, the
30 exemption provided for in this Section may be claimed by only
31 one of such persons and for only one residence.
32 For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than

15 which the property is located. A county may, by ordinance,
16 establish a date for submission of applications that is

20 affidavit of the applicant's total household income, age,
21 marital status (and if married the name and address of the
22 applicant's spouse, if known), and principal dwelling place
23 of members of the household on January 1 of the taxable year.
24 The Department shall establish, by rule, a method for
25 verifying the accuracy of affidavits filed by applicants
26 under this Section. The applications shall be clearly marked
27 as applications for the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze
28 Homestead Exemption.
29 In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
30 applicant was denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and
31 the denial occurred due to an error on the part of an
32 assessment official, or his or her agent or employee, then
33 beginning in taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for
34 purposes of determining the amount of the exemption, shall be
HB1269 Enrolled -82- LRB9001000EGfg
1 1993 rather than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the
2 applicant's exemption shall also include an amount equal to

4 taxable year 1995 as a result of using 1994, rather than
5 1993, as the base year, (ii) the amount of any exemption
6 denied to the applicant in taxable year 1996 as a result of
7 using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year, and (iii) the
8 amount of the exemption erroneously denied for taxable year
9 1994.
10 For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65
11 years of age during the current taxable year shall be
12 eligible to apply for the homestead exemption during that
13 taxable year. Application shall be made during the
14 application period in effect for the county of his or her
15 residence.
16 The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the
17 eligibility of a life care facility that qualifies as a
18 cooperative to receive the benefits provided by this Section
19 by use of an affidavit, application, visual inspection,
20 questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure
21 that the tax savings resulting from the exemption are
22 credited by the management firm to the apportioned tax
23 liability of each qualifying resident. The Chief County
24 Assessment Officer may request reasonable proof that the
25 management firm has so credited that exemption.
26 Except as provided in this Section, all information
27 received by the chief county assessment officer or the
28 Department from applications filed under this Section, or
29 from any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
30 Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes
31 or pursuant to official procedures for collection of any
32 State or local tax or enforcement of any civil or criminal
33 penalty or sanction imposed by this Act or by any statute or
34 ordinance imposing a State or local tax. Any person who
HB1269 Enrolled -83- LRB9001000EGfg
1 divulges any such information in any manner, except in
2 accordance with a proper judicial order, is guilty of a Class
3 A misdemeanor.
4 Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
5 Director or chief county assessment officer from publishing
6 or making available reasonable statistics concerning the
7 operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
8 the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a
9 way that information contained in any individual claim shall

15 Sec. 15-180. Homestead improvements. Homestead
16 properties that have been improved and residential structures
17 on homestead property that have been rebuilt following a
18 catastrophic event are entitled to a homestead improvement
19 exemption, limited to $30,000 per year in fair cash value,
20 when that property is owned and used exclusively for a
21 residential purpose and upon demonstration that a proposed
22 increase in assessed value is attributable solely to a new

24 residential structure following a catastrophic event. To be
25 eligible for an exemption under this Section after a
26 catastrophic event, the residential structure must be rebuilt

10 Section 2-105. The Counties Code is amended by setting
11 forth, changing, and renumbering multiple versions of
12 Sections 5-1069.5 and 5-1121 as follows:
13 (55 ILCS 5/5-1069.2)
14 Sec. 5-1069.2. 5-1069.5. Post-parturition care. If a
15 county, including a home rule county, is a self-insurer for
16 purposes of providing health insurance coverage for its
17 employees, the coverage shall include coverage for the
18 post-parturition care benefits required to be covered by a
19 policy of accident and health insurance under Section 356s
20 356r of the Illinois Insurance Code. The requirement that
21 post-parturition care be covered as provided in this Section
22 is an exclusive power and function of the State and is a
23 denial and limitation under Article VII, Section 6,
24 subsection (h) of the Illinois Constitution. A home rule
25 county to which this Section applies must comply with every
26 provision of this Section.
27 (Source: P.A. 89-513, eff. 9-15-96; revised 7-24-96.)
28 (55 ILCS 5/5-1069.5)
29 Sec. 5-1069.5. Woman's health care provider. All
30 counties, including home rule counties, are subject to the
31 provisions of Section 356r of the Illinois Insurance Code.
HB1269 Enrolled -89- LRB9001000EGfg
1 The requirement under this Section that health care benefits
2 provided by counties comply with Section 356r of the Illinois
3 Insurance Code is an exclusive power and function of the
4 State and is a denial and limitation of home rule county
5 powers under Article VII, Section 6, subsection (h) of the
6 Illinois Constitution.
7 (Source: P.A. 89-514, eff. 7-17-96; revised 7-24-96.)
8 (55 ILCS 5/5-1121)
9 Sec. 5-1121. Demolition, repair, or enclosure.
10 (a) The county board of each county may demolish,
11 repair, or enclose or cause the demolition, repair, or
12 enclosure of dangerous and unsafe buildings or uncompleted
13 and abandoned buildings within the territory of the county,
14 but not within the territory of any municipality, and may
15 remove or cause the removal of garbage, debris, and other
16 hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy substances or materials from
17 those buildings.
18 The county board shall apply to the circuit court of the
19 county in which the building is located (i) for an order
20 authorizing action to be taken with respect to a building if
21 the owner or owners of the building, including the lien
22 holders of record, after at least 15 days' written notice by
23 mail to do so, have failed to put the building in a safe
24 condition or to demolish it or (ii) for an order requiring
25 the owner or owners of record to demolish, repair, or enclose
26 the building or to remove garbage, debris, and other
27 hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy substances or materials from
28 the building. It is not a defense to the cause of action
29 that the building is boarded up or otherwise enclosed,
30 although the court may order the defendant to have the
31 building boarded up or otherwise enclosed. Where, upon
32 diligent search, the identity or whereabouts of the owner or
33 owners of the building, including the lien holders of record,
HB1269 Enrolled -90- LRB9001000EGfg
1 is not ascertainable, notice mailed to the person or persons
2 in whose name the real estate was last assessed is sufficient
3 notice under this Section.
4 The hearing upon the application to the circuit court
5 shall be expedited by the court and shall be given precedence
6 over all other suits.
7 The cost of the demolition, repair, enclosure, or removal
8 incurred by the county, by an intervenor, or by a lien holder
9 of record, including court costs, attorney's fees, and other
10 costs related to the enforcement of this Section, is
11 recoverable from the owner or owners of the real estate or
12 the previous owner or both if the property was transferred
13 during the 15 day notice period and is a lien on the real
14 estate; the lien is superior to all prior existing liens and
15 encumbrances, except taxes, if, within 180 days after the
16 repair, demolition, enclosure, or removal, the county, the
17 lien holder of record, or the intervenor who incurred the
18 cost and expense shall file a notice of lien for the cost and
19 expense incurred in the office of the recorder in the county
20 in which the real estate is located or in the office of the
21 registrar of titles of the county if the real estate affected
22 is registered under the Registered Titles (Torrens) Act.
23 The notice must consist of a sworn statement setting out
24 (1) a description of the real estate sufficient for its
25 identification, (2) the amount of money representing the cost
26 and expense incurred, and (3) the date or dates when the cost
27 and expense was incurred by the county, the lien holder of
28 record, or the intervenor. Upon payment of the cost and
29 expense by the owner of or persons interested in the property
30 after the notice of lien has been filed, the lien shall be
31 released by the county, the person in whose name the lien has
32 been filed, or the assignee of the lien, and the release may
33 be filed of record as in the case of filing notice of lien.
34 Unless the lien is enforced under subsection (b), the lien
HB1269 Enrolled -91- LRB9001000EGfg
1 may be enforced by foreclosure proceedings as in the case of
2 mortgage foreclosures under Article XV of the Code of Civil
3 Procedure or mechanics' lien foreclosures. An action to
4 foreclose this lien may be commenced at any time after the
5 date of filing of the notice of lien. The costs of
6 foreclosure incurred by the county, including court costs,
7 reasonable attorney's fees, advances to preserve the
8 property, and other costs related to the enforcement of this
9 subsection, plus statutory interest, are a lien on the real
10 estate and are recoverable by the county from the owner or
11 owners of the real estate.
12 All liens arising under this subsection (a) shall be
13 assignable. The assignee of the lien shall have the same
14 power to enforce the lien as the assigning party, except that
15 the lien may not be enforced under subsection (b).
16 If the appropriate official of any county determines that
17 any dangerous and unsafe building or uncompleted and
18 abandoned building within its territory fulfills the
19 requirements for an action by the county under the Abandoned
20 Housing Rehabilitation Act, the county may petition under
21 that Act in a proceeding brought under this subsection.
22 (b) In any case where a county has obtained a lien under
23 subsection (a), the county may enforce the lien under this
24 subsection (b) in the same proceeding in which the lien is
25 authorized.
26 A county desiring to enforce a lien under this subsection
27 (b) shall petition the court to retain jurisdiction for
28 foreclosure proceedings under this subsection. Notice of the
29 petition shall be served, by certified or registered mail, on
30 all persons who were served notice under subsection (a). The
31 court shall conduct a hearing on the petition not less than
32 15 days after the notice is served. If the court determines
33 that the requirements of this subsection (b) have been
34 satisfied, it shall grant the petition and retain
HB1269 Enrolled -92- LRB9001000EGfg
1 jurisdiction over the matter until the foreclosure proceeding
2 is completed. The costs of foreclosure incurred by the
3 county, including court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees,
4 advances to preserve the property, and other costs related to
5 the enforcement of this subsection, plus statutory interest,
6 are a lien on the real estate and are recoverable by the
7 county from the owner or owners of the real estate. If the
8 court denies the petition, the county may enforce the lien in
9 a separate action as provided in subsection (a).
10 All persons designated in Section 15-1501 of the Code of
11 Civil Procedure as necessary parties in a mortgage
12 foreclosure action shall be joined as parties before issuance
13 of an order of foreclosure. Persons designated in Section
14 15-1501 of the Code of Civil Procedure as permissible parties
15 may also be joined as parties in the action.
16 The provisions of Article XV of the Code of Civil
17 Procedure applicable to mortgage foreclosures shall apply to
18 the foreclosure of a lien under this subsection (b), except
19 to the extent that those provisions are inconsistent with
20 this subsection. For purposes of foreclosures of liens
21 under this subsection, however, the redemption period
22 described in subsection (b) of Section 15-1603 of the Code of
23 Civil Procedure shall end 60 days after the date of entry of
24 the order of foreclosure.
25 (c) In addition to any other remedy provided by law, the
26 county board of any county may petition the circuit court to
27 have property declared abandoned under this subsection (c)
28 if:
29 (1) the property has been tax delinquent for 2 or
30 more years or bills for water service for the property
31 have been outstanding for 2 or more years;
32 (2) the property is unoccupied by persons legally
33 in possession; and
34 (3) the property contains a dangerous or unsafe
HB1269 Enrolled -93- LRB9001000EGfg
1 building.
2 All persons having an interest of record in the property,
3 including tax purchasers and beneficial owners of any
4 Illinois land trust having title to the property, shall be
5 named as defendants in the petition and shall be served with
6 process. In addition, service shall be had under Section
7 2-206 of the Code of Civil Procedure as in other cases
8 affecting property.
9 The county, however, may proceed under this subsection in
10 a proceeding brought under subsection (a). Notice of the
11 petition shall be served by certified or registered mail on
12 all persons who were served notice under subsection (a).
13 If the county proves that the conditions described in
14 this subsection exist and the owner of record of the property
15 does not enter an appearance in the action, or, if title to
16 the property is held by an Illinois land trust, if neither
17 the owner of record nor the owner of the beneficial interest
18 of the trust enters an appearance, the court shall declare
19 the property abandoned.
20 If that determination is made, notice shall be sent by
21 certified or registered mail to all persons having an
22 interest of record in the property, including tax purchasers
23 and beneficial owners of any Illinois land trust having title
24 to the property, stating that title to the property will be
25 transferred to the county unless, within 30 days of the
26 notice, the owner of record enters an appearance in the
27 action, or unless any other person having an interest in the
28 property files with the court a request to demolish the
29 dangerous or unsafe building or to put the building in safe
30 condition.
31 If the owner of record enters an appearance in the action
32 within the 30 day period, the court shall vacate its order
33 declaring the property abandoned. In that case, the county
34 may amend its complaint in order to initiate proceedings
HB1269 Enrolled -94- LRB9001000EGfg
1 under subsection (a).
2 If a request to demolish or repair the building is filed
3 within the 30 day period, the court shall grant permission to
4 the requesting party to demolish the building within 30 days
5 or to restore the building to safe condition within 60 days
6 after the request is granted. An extension of that period
7 for up to 60 additional days may be given for good cause. If
8 more than one person with an interest in the property files a
9 timely request, preference shall be given to the person with
10 the lien or other interest of the highest priority.
11 If the requesting party proves to the court that the
12 building has been demolished or put in a safe condition
13 within the period of time granted by the court, the court
14 shall issue a quitclaim judicial deed for the property to the
15 requesting party, conveying only the interest of the owner of
16 record, upon proof of payment to the county of all costs
17 incurred by the county in connection with the action,
18 including but not limited to court costs, attorney's fees,
19 administrative costs, the costs, if any, associated with
20 building enclosure or removal, and receiver's certificates.
21 The interest in the property so conveyed shall be subject to
22 all liens and encumbrances on the property. In addition, if
23 the interest is conveyed to a person holding a certificate of
24 purchase for the property under the Property Tax Code, the
25 conveyance shall be subject to the rights of redemption of
26 all persons entitled to redeem under that Act, including the
27 original owner of record.
28 If no person with an interest in the property files a
29 timely request or if the requesting party fails to demolish
30 the building or put the building in safe condition within the
31 time specified by the court, the county may petition the
32 court to issue a judicial deed for the property to the
33 county. A conveyance by judicial deed shall operate to
34 extinguish all existing ownership interests in, liens on, and
HB1269 Enrolled -95- LRB9001000EGfg
1 other interest in the property, including tax liens.
2 (d) Each county may use the provisions of this
3 subsection to expedite the removal of certain buildings that
4 are a continuing hazard to the community in which they are
5 located.
6 If a residential building is 2 stories or less in height
7 as defined by the county's building code, and the official
8 designated to be in charge of enforcing the county's building
9 code determines that the building is open and vacant and an
10 immediate and continuing hazard to the community in which the
11 building is located, then the official shall be authorized to
12 post a notice not less than 2 feet by 2 feet in size on the
13 front of the building. The notice shall be dated as of the
14 date of the posting and shall state that unless the building
15 is demolished, repaired, or enclosed, and unless any garbage,
16 debris, and other hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy substances
17 or materials are removed so that an immediate and continuing
18 hazard to the community no longer exists, then the building
19 may be demolished, repaired, or enclosed, or any garbage,
20 debris, and other hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy substances
21 or materials may be removed, by the county.
22 Not later than 30 days following the posting of the
23 notice, the county shall do both of the following:
24 (1) Cause to be sent, by certified mail, return
25 receipt requested, a notice to all owners of record of
26 the property, the beneficial owners of any Illinois land
27 trust having title to the property, and all lienholders
28 of record in the property, stating the intent of the
29 county to demolish, repair, or enclose the building or
30 remove any garbage, debris, or other hazardous, noxious,
31 or unhealthy substances or materials if that action is
32 not taken by the owner or owners.
33 (2) Cause to be published, in a newspaper published
34 or circulated in the county where the building is
HB1269 Enrolled -96- LRB9001000EGfg
1 located, a notice setting forth (i) the permanent tax
2 index number and the address of the building, (ii) a
3 statement that the property is open and vacant and
4 constitutes an immediate and continuing hazard to the
5 community, and (iii) a statement that the county intends
6 to demolish, repair, or enclose the building or remove
7 any garbage, debris, or other hazardous, noxious, or
8 unhealthy substances or materials if the owner or owners
9 or lienholders of record fail to do so. This notice
10 shall be published for 3 consecutive days.
11 A person objecting to the proposed actions of the county
12 board may file his or her objection in an appropriate form in
13 a court of competent jurisdiction.
14 If the building is not demolished, repaired, or enclosed,
15 or the garbage, debris, or other hazardous, noxious, or
16 unhealthy substances or materials are not removed, within 30
17 days of mailing the notice to the owners of record, the
18 beneficial owners of any Illinois land trust having title to
19 the property, and all lienholders of record in the property,
20 or within 30 days of the last day of publication of the
21 notice, whichever is later, the county board shall have the
22 power to demolish, repair, or enclose the building or to
23 remove any garbage, debris, or other hazardous, noxious, or
24 unhealthy substances or materials.
25 The county may proceed to demolish, repair, or enclose a
26 building or remove any garbage, debris, or other hazardous,
27 noxious, or unhealthy substances or materials under this
28 subsection within a 120-day period following the date of the
29 mailing of the notice if the appropriate official determines
30 that the demolition, repair, enclosure, or removal of any
31 garbage, debris, or other hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy
32 substances or materials is necessary to remedy the immediate
33 and continuing hazard. If, however, before the county
34 proceeds with any of the actions authorized by this
HB1269 Enrolled -97- LRB9001000EGfg
1 subsection, any person has sought a hearing under this
2 subsection before a court and has served a copy of the
3 complaint on the chief executive officer of the county, then
4 the county shall not proceed with the demolition, repair,
5 enclosure, or removal of garbage, debris, or other substances
6 until the court determines that that action is necessary to
7 remedy the hazard and issues an order authorizing the county
8 to do so.
9 Following the demolition, repair, or enclosure of a
10 building, or the removal of garbage, debris, or other
11 hazardous, noxious, or unhealthy substances or materials
12 under this subsection, the county may file a notice of lien
13 against the real estate for the cost of the demolition,
14 repair, enclosure, or removal within 180 days after the
15 repair, demolition, enclosure, or removal occurred, for the
16 cost and expense incurred, in the office of the recorder in
17 the county in which the real estate is located or in the
18 office of the registrar of titles of the county if the real
19 estate affected is registered under the Registered Titles
20 (Torrens) Act. The notice of lien shall consist of a sworn
21 statement setting forth (i) a description of the real estate,
22 such as the address or other description of the property,
23 sufficient for its identification; (ii) the expenses incurred
24 by the county in undertaking the remedial actions authorized
25 under this subsection; (iii) the date or dates the expenses
26 were incurred by the county; (iv) a statement by the official
27 responsible for enforcing the building code that the building
28 was open and vacant and constituted an immediate and
29 continuing hazard to the community; (v) a statement by the
30 official that the required sign was posted on the building,
31 that notice was sent by certified mail to the owners of
32 record, and that notice was published in accordance with this
33 subsection; and (vi) a statement as to when and where the
34 notice was published. The lien authorized by this subsection
HB1269 Enrolled -98- LRB9001000EGfg
1 may thereafter be released or enforced by the county as
2 provided in subsection (a).

4 (55 ILCS 5/5-1123)
5 Sec. 5-1123. 5-1121. Builder or developer cash bond.
6 (a) A county may not require a cash bond from a builder
7 or developer to guarantee completion of a project improvement
8 when the builder or developer has filed a current,
9 irrevocable letter of credit with good and sufficient
10 sureties with the county clerk in an amount equal to or
11 greater than 110% of the amount of the bid on each project
12 improvement. A builder or developer may elect to utilize an
13 irrevocable letter of credit to satisfy any cash bond
14 requirement established by a county.
15 (b) If a county receives a cash bond from a builder or
16 developer to guarantee completion of a project improvement,
17 the county shall (i) register the bond under the address of
18 the project and the construction permit number and (ii) give
19 the builder or developer a receipt for the bond. The county
20 shall establish and maintain a separate account for all cash
21 bonds received from builders and developers to guarantee
22 completion of a project improvement.
23 (c) The county shall refund a cash bond to a builder or
24 developer within 60 days after the builder or developer
25 notifies the county in writing of the completion of the
26 project improvement for which the bond was required. For
27 these purposes, "completion" means that the county has
28 determined that the project improvement for which the bond
29 was required is complete or a licensed engineer or licensed
30 architect has certified to the builder or developer and the
31 county that the project improvement has been completed to the
32 applicable codes and ordinances. The county shall pay
33 interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60 days after
HB1269 Enrolled -99- LRB9001000EGfg
1 the builder or developer notifies the county in writing of
2 the completion of the project improvement, on any bond not
3 refunded to a builder or developer, at the rate of 1% per
4 month.
5 (d) A home rule county may not require or maintain cash
6 bonds from builders or developers in a manner inconsistent
7 with this Section. This Section is a denial and limitation
8 under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
9 Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by a home
10 rule county of powers and functions exercised by the State.

12 Section 2-110. The County Care for Persons with
13 Developmental Disabilities Act is amended by changing Section
14 13 as follows:
15 (55 ILCS 105/13) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 213)
16 Sec. 13. The Department of Human Services shall adopt
17 general rules for the guidance of any board of directors,
18 prescribing reasonable standards in regard to program,
19 facilities and services for residents with a developmental
20 disability.
21 The provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
22 Act are hereby expressly adopted and shall apply to all
23 administrative rules and procedures of the Department under
24 this Act, except that in case of conflict between the
25 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and this Act the
26 provisions of this Act shall control, and except that Section
27 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act relating to
28 procedures for rule-making does not apply to the adoption of
29 any rule required by federal law in connection with which the
30 Department is precluded by law from exercising any
31 discretion.
32 The Department of Human Services may conduct such
HB1269 Enrolled -100- LRB9001000EGfg
1 investigation as may be necessary to ascertain compliance
2 with rules adopted pursuant to this Act.
3 If any such board of directors fails to comply with such
4 rules, the Department of Human Services shall withhold
5 distribution of any State grant in aid until such time as
6 such board complies with such rules.

9 Section 2-115. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
10 changing Sections 7-1-1 and 11-15.1-2 and setting forth,
11 changing, and renumbering multiple versions of Section
12 10-4-2.5 as follows:
13 (65 ILCS 5/7-1-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-1)
14 Sec. 7-1-1. Annexation of contiguous territory. Any
15 territory that is not within the corporate limits of any
16 municipality but is contiguous to a municipality may be
17 annexed to the municipality as provided in this Article. For
18 the purposes of this Article any territory to be annexed to a
19 municipality shall be considered to be contiguous to the
20 municipality notwithstanding that the territory is separated
21 from the municipality by a railroad or public utility
22 right-of-way, but upon annexation the area included within
23 that right-of-way shall not be considered to be annexed to
24 the municipality.
25 Except in counties with a population of more than 500,000
26 but less than 3,000,000, territory which is not contiguous to
27 a municipality but is separated therefrom only by a forest
28 preserve district may be annexed to the municipality pursuant
29 to Sections 7-1-7 or 7-1-8, but the territory included within
30 such forest preserve district shall not be annexed to the
31 municipality nor shall the territory of the forest preserve
32 district be subject to rights-of-way for access or services
HB1269 Enrolled -101- LRB9001000EGfg
1 between the parts of the municipality separated by the forest
2 preserve district without the consent of the governing body
3 of the forest preserve district.
4 In counties that are contiguous to the Mississippi River
5 with populations of more than 200,000 but less than 255,000,
6 a municipality that is partially located in territory that is
7 wholly surrounded by the Mississippi River and a canal,
8 connected at both ends to the Mississippi River and located
9 on property owned by the United States of America, may annex
10 noncontiguous territory in the surrounded territory under
11 Sections 7-1-7, 7-1-8, or 7-1-9 if that territory is
12 separated from the municipality by property owned by the
13 United States of America, but that federal property shall not
14 be annexed without the consent of the federal government.
15 When any land proposed to be annexed is part of any Fire
16 Protection District or of any Public Library District and the
17 annexing municipality provides fire protection or a public
18 library, as the case may be, the Trustees of each District
19 shall be notified in writing by certified or registered mail
20 before any court hearing or other action is taken for
21 annexation. The notice shall be served 10 days in advance.
22 An affidavit that service of notice has been had as provided
23 by this Section must be filed with the clerk of the court in
24 which the annexation proceedings are pending or will be
25 instituted or, when no court proceedings are involved, with
26 the recorder for the county where the land is situated. No
27 annexation of that land is effective unless service is had
28 and the affidavit filed as provided in this Section.
29 The new boundary shall extend to the far side of any
30 adjacent highway and shall include all of every highway
31 within the area annexed. These highways shall be considered
32 to be annexed even though not included in the legal
33 description set forth in the petition for annexation. When
34 any land proposed to be annexed includes any highway under
HB1269 Enrolled -102- LRB9001000EGfg
1 the jurisdiction of any township, the Township Commissioner
2 of Highways and the Board of Town Trustees shall be notified
3 in writing by certified or registered mail before any court
4 hearing or other action is taken for annexation. In the event
5 that a municipality fails to notify the Township Commissioner
6 of Highways and the Board of Town Trustees of the annexation
7 of an area within the township, the municipality shall
8 reimburse that township for any loss or liability caused by
9 the failure to give notice. If any municipality has annexed
10 any area before October 1, 1975, and the legal description in
11 the petition for annexation did not include the entire
12 adjacent highway, any such annexation shall be valid and any
13 highway adjacent to the area annexed shall be considered to
14 be annexed notwithstanding the failure of the petition to
15 annex to include the description of the entire adjacent
16 highway.
17 Any annexation, disconnection and annexation, or
18 disconnection under this Article of any territory must be
19 reported by certified or registered mail by the corporate
20 authority initiating the action to the election authorities
21 having jurisdiction in the territory and the post office

27 Section 2-120. The Fire Protection District Act is
28 amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
29 (70 ILCS 705/4) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 24)
30 Sec. 4. Trustees; conflict of interest; violations.
31 (a) A board of trustees consisting of 3 members for the
32 government and control of the affairs and business of a fire
HB1269 Enrolled -106- LRB9001000EGfg
1 protection district incorporated under this Act shall be
2 created in the following manner:
3 (1) If the district lies wholly within a single
4 township but does not also lie wholly within a
5 municipality, the board of trustees of that township
6 shall appoint the trustees for the district but no
7 township official who is eligible to vote on the
8 appointment shall be eligible for such appointment.
9 (2) If the district is wholly contained within a
10 municipality, the governing body of the municipality
11 shall appoint the trustees for the district.
12 (3) If the district is wholly contained within a
13 single county but does not lie wholly within a single
14 township or a single municipality, the trustees for the
15 district shall be appointed by the presiding officer of
16 the county board with the advice and consent of the
17 county board; except that in counties with a population
18 in excess of 3,000,000, 2 trustees for the district shall
19 be appointed by the board of trustees of the township
20 that has the greatest population within the district as
21 determined by the last preceding federal census. That
22 board of trustees shall also appoint the remaining
23 trustee if no other township comprises at least 10% of
24 the population of the district. If only one other
25 township comprises at least 10% of the population of the
26 district, then the board of trustees of that district
27 shall appoint the remaining trustee. If 2 or more other
28 townships each comprise at least 10% of the population of
29 the district, then the boards of trustees of those
30 townships shall jointly appoint the remaining trustee.
31 No township official who is eligible to vote on the
32 appointment shall be eligible for the appointment.
33 (4) If the district is located in more than one
34 county, the number of trustees who are residents of a
HB1269 Enrolled -107- LRB9001000EGfg
1 county shall be in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
2 to the number of residents of the district who reside in
3 that county in relation to the total population of the
4 district.
5 (A) In counties with a population of 3,000,000
6 or more, the trustees shall be appointed as provided
7 in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) of
8 this Section. For purposes of this item (A) and in
9 item (B), "district" means that portion of the total
10 fire protection district lying within a county with
11 a population in excess of 3,000,000.
12 (B) In counties with a population of less than
13 3,000,000, the trustees for the district shall be
14 appointed by the presiding officer of the county
15 board with the advice and consent of the county
16 board.
17 Upon the expiration of the term of a trustee who is in
18 office on October 1, 1975, the successor shall be a resident
19 of whichever county is entitled to such representation in
20 order to bring about the proportional representation required
21 herein, and he shall be appointed by the county board of that
22 county, or in the case of a home rule county as defined by
23 Article VII, Section 6 of the Constitution of 1970, the chief
24 executive officer of that county, with the advice and consent
25 of the county board.
26 Thereafter, each trustee shall be succeeded by a resident
27 of the same county who shall be appointed by the same
28 appointing authority; however, the provisions of the
29 preceding paragraph shall apply to the appointment of the
30 successor to each trustee who is in office at the time of the
31 publication of each decennial Federal census of population.
32 Within 60 days after the adoption of this Act as provided
33 in Section 1, or within 60 days after the adoption of an
34 ordinance pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 4.01, the
HB1269 Enrolled -108- LRB9001000EGfg
1 appropriate appointing authority shall appoint 3 trustees who
2 are electors in the district, not more than one of whom shall
3 be from any one city or village or incorporated town in a
4 district unless such city or village or incorporated town has
5 more than 50% of the population in the district according to
6 last preceding Federal census. Such trustees shall hold
7 their offices thenceforward and for one, 2 and 3 years from
8 the first Monday of May next after their appointment and
9 until their successors have been selected and qualified and
10 thereafter, unless the district has determined to elect
11 trustees as provided in Section 4a, on or before the second
12 Monday in April of each year the appointing authority shall
13 appoint one trustee whose term shall be for 3 years
14 commencing on the first Monday in May next after they are
15 respectively appointed. The length of term of the first
16 trustees shall be determined by lot at their first meeting.
17 Each trustee shall, before entering on the duties of his
18 office, enter into bond with security to be approved by the
19 appointing authority in such sum as the authority may
20 determine.
21 A majority of the board of trustees shall constitute a
22 quorum, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day. No
23 trustee or employee of such district shall be directly or
24 indirectly interested financially in any contract work or
25 business or the sale of any article, the expense, price or
26 consideration of which is paid by the district; nor in the
27 purchase of any real estate or other property, belonging to
28 the district, or which shall be sold for taxes or assessments
29 or by virtue of legal process at the suit of the district.
30 Nothing in this Section prohibits the appointment or
31 selection of any person or trustee or employee whose only
32 interest in the district is as an owner of real estate in
33 such fire protection district or of contributing to the
34 payment of taxes levied by the district. The trustees shall
HB1269 Enrolled -109- LRB9001000EGfg
1 have the power to provide and adopt a corporate seal for the
2 district.
3 (b) However, any trustee may provide materials,
4 merchandise, property, services or labor, if:
5 A. the contract is with a person, firm,
6 partnership, association, corporation or cooperative
7 association in which such interested trustee has less
8 than a 7 1/2% share in the ownership; and
9 B. such interested trustee publicly discloses the
10 nature and extent of his interest prior to or during
11 deliberations concerning the proposed award of the
12 contract; and
13 C. such interested trustee abstains from voting on
14 the award of the contract, though he shall be considered
15 present for the purposes of establishing a quorum; and
16 D. such contract is approved by a majority vote of
17 those trustees presently holding office; and
18 E. the contract is awarded after sealed bids to the
19 lowest responsible bidder if the amount of the contract
20 exceeds $1500, but the contract may be awarded without
21 bidding if the amount is less than $1500; and
22 F. the award of the contract would not cause the
23 aggregate amount of all such contracts so awarded to the
24 same person, firm, association, partnership, corporation,
25 or cooperative association in the same fiscal year to
26 exceed $25,000.
27 (c) In addition to the above exemption, any trustee or
28 employee may provide materials, merchandise, property,
29 services or labor if:
30 A. the award of the contract is approved by a
31 majority vote of the board of trustees of the fire
32 protection district provided that any such interested
33 member shall abstain from voting; and
34 B. the amount of the contract does not exceed
HB1269 Enrolled -110- LRB9001000EGfg
1 $1000; and
2 C. the award of the contract would not cause the
3 aggregate amount of all such contracts so awarded to the
4 same person, firm, association, partnership, corporation,
5 or cooperative association in the same fiscal year to
6 exceed $2000; and
7 D. such interested member publicly discloses the
8 nature and extent of his interest prior to or during
9 deliberations concerning the proposed award of the
10 contract; and
11 E. such interested member abstains from voting on
12 the award of the contract, though he shall be considered
13 present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.
14 (d) A contract for the procurement of public utility
15 services by a district with a public utility company is not
16 barred by this Section by one or more members of the board of
17 trustees being an officer or employee of the public utility
18 company or holding an ownership interest if no more than 7
19 1/2% in the public utility company, or holding an ownership
20 interest of any size if the fire protection district has a
21 population of less than 7,500 and the public utility's rates
22 are approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission. An elected
23 or appointed member of the board of trustees having such an
24 interest shall be deemed not to have a prohibited interest
25 under this Section.
26 (e) Any officer or employee who violates this Section is
27 guilty of a Class 4 felony and in addition thereto any office
28 held by such person so convicted shall become vacant and
29 shall be so declared as part of the judgment of the court.
30 (f) Nothing contained in this Section, including the
31 restrictions set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (d), shall
32 preclude a contract of deposit of monies, loans or other
33 financial services by a fire protection district with a local
34 bank or local savings and loan association, regardless of
HB1269 Enrolled -111- LRB9001000EGfg
1 whether a member or members of the board of trustees of the
2 fire protection district are interested in such bank or
3 savings and loan association as an officer or employee or as
4 a holder of less than 7 1/2% of the total ownership interest.
5 A member or members holding such an interest in such a
6 contract shall not be deemed to be holding a prohibited
7 interest for purposes of this Act. Such interested member or
8 members of the board of trustees must publicly state the
9 nature and extent of their interest during deliberations
10 concerning the proposed award of such a contract, but shall
11 not participate in any further deliberations concerning the
12 proposed award. Such interested member or members shall not
13 vote on such a proposed award. Any member or members
14 abstaining from participation in deliberations and voting
15 under this Section may be considered present for purposes of
16 establishing a quorum. Award of such a contract shall require
17 approval by a majority vote of those members presently
18 holding office. Consideration and award of any such contract
19 in which a member or members are interested may only be made
20 at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the board of
21 trustees of the fire protection district.
22 (g) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory
23 Act of 1990 and ending 3 years after the effective date of
24 this amendatory Act of 1990, in the case of a fire protection
25 district board of trustees in a county with a population of
26 more than 400,000 but less than 450,000, according to the
27 1980 general census, created under subsection (a), paragraph
28 (3) of this Section a petition for the redress of a trustee,
29 charging the trustee with palpable omission of duty or
30 nonfeasance in office, signed by not less than 5% of the
31 electors of the district may be presented to the township
32 supervisor or the presiding officer of the county board, as
33 appropriate. Upon receipt of the petition, the township
34 supervisor or presiding officer of the county board, as
HB1269 Enrolled -112- LRB9001000EGfg
1 appropriate, shall preside over a hearing on the matter of
2 the requested redress. The hearing shall be held not less
3 than 14 nor more than 30 days after receipt of the petition.
4 In the case of a fire protection district trustee appointed
5 by the presiding officer of the county board, the presiding
6 officer shall appoint at least 4 but not more than 8 members
7 of the county board, a majority of whom shall reside in a
8 county board district in which the fire protection district
9 is wholly or partially located, to serve as the hearing
10 panel. In the case of a fire protection district trustee
11 appointed by the board of town trustees, the township
12 supervisor and 2 other town trustees appointed by the
13 supervisor shall serve as the hearing panel. Within 30 days
14 after the hearing, the panel shall issue a statement of its
15 findings concerning the charges against the trustee, based
16 upon the evidence presented at the hearing, and may make to
17 the fire protection district any recommendations deemed
18 appropriate.

21 Section 2-125. The Park District Code is amended by
22 changing Section 10-7 as follows:
23 (70 ILCS 1205/10-7) (from Ch. 105, par. 10-7)
24 Sec. 10-7. Sale, lease, or exchange of realty.
25 (a) Any park district owning and holding any real estate
26 is authorized to sell or lease such property to another unit
27 of Illinois State or local government, or to lease upon the
28 terms and at the price that the board determines for a period
29 not to exceed 99 years to any not for profit corporation
30 organized under the laws of this State, in either case for
31 public use, and provided that the grantee or lessee covenants
32 to hold and maintain such property for public park or
HB1269 Enrolled -113- LRB9001000EGfg
1 recreational purposes or such park district obtains other
2 real property of substantially the same size or larger and of
3 substantially the same or greater suitability for park
4 purposes without additional cost to such district.
5 (b) Any park district owning or holding any real estate
6 is authorized to convey such property to a nongovernmental
7 entity in exchange for other real property of substantially
8 equal or greater value as determined by 2 appraisals of the
9 property and of substantially the same or greater suitability
10 for park purposes without additional cost to such district.
11 Prior to such exchange with a nongovernmental entity the
12 park board shall hold a public meeting in order to consider
13 the proposed conveyance. Notice of such meeting shall be
14 published not less than three times (the first and last
15 publication being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper

23 that serve district which serves territory within a
24 municipality having of more than 40,000 inhabitants and
25 within a county having of more than 260,000 inhabitants and

27 district owning or holding real estate is authorized to sell
28 that property to any not-for-profit corporation organized
29 under the laws of this State upon the condition that the
30 corporation uses the property for public park or recreational
31 programs for youth. The park district shall have the right
32 of re-entry for breach of condition subsequent. If the
33 corporation stops using the property for these purposes, the
34 property shall revert back to ownership of the park district.
HB1269 Enrolled -114- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Any temporary suspension of use caused by the construction of
2 improvements on the property for public park or recreational
3 programs for youth is not a breach of condition subsequent.
4 Prior to the sale of the property to a not-for-profit
5 corporation, the park board shall hold a public meeting to
6 consider the proposed sale. Notice of the meeting shall be
7 published not less than 3 times (the first and last
8 publication being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper

14 a not-for-profit corporation requires adoption by a majority
15 of the park board.
16 (d) Real estate, not subject to such covenant or which
17 has not been conveyed and replaced as provided in this
18 Section, may be conveyed in the manner provided by Sections
19 10-7a to 10-7d hereof, inclusive.
20 (e) In addition to any other power provided in this
21 Section, any park district owning or holding real estate that
22 the board deems is not required for park or recreational
23 purposes may lease such real estate to any individual or
24 entity and may collect rents therefrom. Such lease shall not
25 exceed 2 and one-half times the term of years provided for in
26 Section 8-15 governing installment purchase contracts.

29 Section 2-130. The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is
30 amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
31 (70 ILCS 2405/4) (from Ch. 42, par. 303)
32 Sec. 4. The trustees shall constitute a board of
HB1269 Enrolled -115- LRB9001000EGfg
1 trustees for the district. The board of trustees is the
2 corporate authority of such sanitary district, and shall

5 immediately after their appointment and at their first
6 meeting in May of each year thereafter, shall elect one of
7 their number as president, one of their number as
8 vice-president, and from or outside of their membership a
9 clerk and an assistant clerk. In case of the death,
10 resignation, absence from the State, or other disability of
11 the president, the powers, duties and emoluments of the
12 office of the president shall devolve upon the
13 vice-president, until such disability is removed or until a
14 successor to the president is appointed and chosen in the
15 manner provided in this Act. The board may select a
16 treasurer, engineer and attorney for the district, and a
17 board of local improvements consisting of 5 members in any
18 sanitary district which includes one or more municipalities
19 with a population of over 90,000 but less than 500,000
20 according to the most recent Federal census and consisting of
21 3 members in any other district, all of whom may be trustees
22 or other citizens of the sanitary district. The board may
23 appoint such other officers and hire such employees to manage
24 and control the operations of the district as it deems
25 necessary; provided, however, that the board shall not employ
26 an individual as a wastewater operator whose Certificate of
27 Technical Competency is suspended or revoked under rules
28 adopted by the Pollution Control Board under item (4) of
29 subsection (a) of Section 13 of the Environmental Protection
30 Act. The board may appoint a chief administrative officer
31 for a term not to exceed 4 years subject to removal by the
32 board for cause. Appointment of the chief administrative
33 officer may be renewed as often as the board deems necessary.
34 All other persons selected by the board shall hold their
HB1269 Enrolled -116- LRB9001000EGfg
1 respective offices during the pleasure of the board, and all
2 persons selected by the board shall give such bond as may be
3 required by the board. The board may prescribe the duties and
4 fix the compensation of all the officers and employees of the
5 sanitary district. However, no member of the board of
6 trustees shall receive more than $6,000 per year.
7 The board of trustees has full power to pass all
8 necessary ordinances, rules and regulations for the proper
9 management and conduct of the business of the board and the
10 corporation, and for carrying into effect the objects for
11 which the sanitary district was formed. Such ordinances may
12 provide for a fine for each offense of not less than $100 or
13 more than $1,000. Each day's continuance of such violation
14 shall be a separate offense. Fines pursuant to this Section
15 are recoverable by the sanitary district in a civil action.
16 The sanitary district is authorized to apply to the circuit
17 court for injunctive relief or mandamus when, in the opinion
18 of the chief administrative officer, such relief is necessary
19 to protect the sewerage system of the sanitary district.

25 well as personal effects left in those places and areas by
26 students, without notice to or the consent of the student,
27 and without a search warrant. As a matter of public policy,
28 the General Assembly finds that students have no reasonable
29 expectation of privacy in these places and areas or in their
30 personal effects left in these places and areas. School

6 ordinance, or the school's policies or rules, such evidence
7 may be seized by school authorities, and disciplinary action
8 may be taken. School authorities may also turn over such
9 evidence to law enforcement authorities. The provisions of
10 this subsection (e) apply in all school districts, including
11 special charter districts and districts organized under

19 district; and in districts of 2 or more teachers, or in
20 districts where records of attendance are kept by session
21 teachers, by taking the sum of the respective averages of the
22 units composing the group.
23 (c) Pupils in average daily attendance shall be computed
24 upon the average of the best 3 months of pupils attendance of
25 the current school year except as district claims may be
26 later amended as provided hereinafter in this Section.
27 However, for any school district maintaining grades
28 kindergarten through 12, the "average daily attendance" shall
29 be computed on the average of the best 3 months of pupils
30 attendance of the current year in grades kindergarten through
31 8, added together with the average of the best 3 months of
32 pupils attendance of the current year in grades 9 through 12,
33 except as district claims may be later amended as provided in
HB1269 Enrolled -132- LRB9001000EGfg
1 this Section. Days of attendance shall be kept by regular
2 calendar months, except any days of attendance in August
3 shall be added to the month of September and any days of
4 attendance in June shall be added to the month of May.
5 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
6 attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of
7 not less than 5 clock hours of school work per day under
8 direct supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching
9 personnel or volunteer personnel when engaging in
10 non-teaching duties and supervising in those instances
11 specified in subsection (a) of Section 10-22.34 and paragraph
12 10 of Section 34-18, with pupils of legal school age and in
13 kindergarten and grades 1 through 12.
14 (d) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for
15 only a part of the school day may be counted on the basis of
16 1/6 day for every class hour of instruction of 40 minutes or
17 more attended pursuant to such enrollment.
18 (e) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours on
19 the opening and closing of the school term, and upon the
20 first day of pupil attendance, if preceded by a day or days
21 utilized as an institute or teachers' workshop.
22 (f) A session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted as
23 a day of attendance upon certification by the regional
24 superintendent, and approved by the State Superintendent of
25 Education to the extent that the district has been forced to
26 use daily multiple sessions.
27 (g) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted as
28 a day of attendance (1) when the remainder of the school day
29 or at least 2 hours in the evening of that day is utilized
30 for an in-service training program for teachers, up to a
31 maximum of 5 days per school year of which a maximum of 4
32 days of such 5 days may be used for parent-teacher
33 conferences, provided a district conducts an in-service
34 training program for teachers which has been approved by the
HB1269 Enrolled -133- LRB9001000EGfg
1 State Superintendent of Education; or, in lieu of 4 such
2 days, 2 full days may be used, in which event each such day
3 may be counted as a day of attendance; and (2) when days in
4 addition to those provided in item (1) are scheduled by a
5 school pursuant to its school improvement plan adopted under
6 Article 34 or its revised or amended school improvement plan
7 adopted under Article 2, provided that (i) such sessions of 3
8 or more clock hours are scheduled to occur at regular
9 intervals, (ii) the remainder of the school days in which
10 such sessions occur are utilized for in-service training
11 programs or other staff development activities for teachers,
12 and (iii) a sufficient number of minutes of school work under
13 the direct supervision of teachers are added to the school
14 days between such regularly scheduled sessions to accumulate
15 not less than the number of minutes by which such sessions of
16 3 or more clock hours fall short of 5 clock hours. Any full
17 days used for the purposes of this paragraph shall not be
18 considered for computing average daily attendance. Days
19 scheduled for in-service training programs, staff development
20 activities, or parent-teacher conferences may be scheduled
21 separately for different grade levels and different
22 attendance centers of the district.
23 (h) A session of not less than one clock hour teaching
24 of hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by telephone
25 to the classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance,
26 however these pupils must receive 4 or more clock hours of
27 instruction to be counted for a full day of attendance.
28 (i) A session of at least 4 clock hours may be counted
29 as a day of attendance for first grade pupils, and pupils in
30 full day kindergartens, and a session of 2 or more hours may
31 be counted as 1/2 day of attendance by pupils in
32 kindergartens which provide only 1/2 day of attendance.
33 (j) For children with disabilities who are below the age
34 of 6 years and who cannot attend two or more clock hours
HB1269 Enrolled -134- LRB9001000EGfg
1 because of their disability or immaturity, a session of not
2 less than one clock hour may be counted as 1/2 day of
3 attendance; however for such children whose educational needs
4 so require a session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted
5 as a full day of attendance.
6 (k) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only
7 1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more than
8 1/2 day of attendance counted in any 1 day. However,
9 kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5
10 consecutive school days. Where a pupil attends such a
11 kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, such
12 pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from
13 school, unless the school district obtains permission in
14 writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
15 Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of
16 attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as
17 attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of
18 attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted except in
19 case of children who entered the kindergarten in their fifth
20 year whose educational development requires a second year of
21 kindergarten as determined under the rules and regulations of
22 the State Board of Education.
23 (l) Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be
24 accredited only to the districts that pay the tuition to a
25 recognized school.
26 (m) The greater of the immediately preceding year's
27 weighted average daily attendance or the average of the
28 weighted average daily attendance of the immediately
29 preceding year and the previous 2 years shall be used.
30 For any school year beginning July 1, 1986 or thereafter,
31 if the weighted average daily attendance in either grades
32 kindergarten through 8 or grades 9 through 12 of a district
33 as computed for the first calendar month of the current
34 school year exceeds by more than 5%, but not less than 25
HB1269 Enrolled -135- LRB9001000EGfg
1 pupils, the district's weighted average daily attendance for
2 the first calendar month of the immediately preceding year
3 in, respectively, grades kindergarten through 8 or grades 9
4 through 12, a supplementary payment shall be made to the
5 district equal to the difference in the amount of aid the
6 district would be paid under this Section using the weighted
7 average daily attendance in the district as computed for the
8 first calendar month of the current school year and the
9 amount of aid the district would be paid using the weighted
10 average daily attendance in the district for the first
11 calendar month of the immediately preceding year. Such
12 supplementary State aid payment shall be paid to the district
13 as provided in Section 18-8.4 and shall be treated as
14 separate from all other payments made pursuant to this
15 Section 18-8.
16 (n) The number of low income eligible pupils in a
17 district shall result in an increase in the weighted average
18 daily attendance calculated as follows: The number of low
19 income pupils shall increase the weighted ADA by .53 for each
20 student adjusted by dividing the percent of low income
21 eligible pupils in the district by the ratio of eligible low
22 income pupils in the State to the best 3 months' weighted
23 average daily attendance in the State. In no case may the
24 adjustment under this paragraph result in a greater weighting
25 than .625 for each eligible low income student. The number
26 of low income eligible pupils in a district shall be the
27 low-income eligible count from the most recently available
28 federal census and the weighted average daily attendance
29 shall be calculated in accordance with the other provisions
30 of this paragraph.
31 (o) Any school district which fails for any given school
32 year to maintain school as required by law, or to maintain a
33 recognized school is not eligible to file for such school
34 year any claim upon the common school fund. In case of
HB1269 Enrolled -136- LRB9001000EGfg
1 nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in a school
2 district otherwise operating recognized schools, the claim of
3 the district shall be reduced in the proportion which the
4 average daily attendance in the attendance center or centers
5 bear to the average daily attendance in the school district.
6 A "recognized school" means any public school which meets the
7 standards as established for recognition by the State Board
8 of Education. A school district or attendance center not
9 having recognition status at the end of a school term is
10 entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal claim
11 which was filed while it was recognized.
12 (p) School district claims filed under this Section are
13 subject to Sections 18-9, 18-10 and 18-12, except as herein
14 otherwise provided.
15 (q) The State Board of Education shall secure from the
16 Department of Revenue the value as equalized or assessed by
17 the Department of Revenue of all taxable property of every
18 school district together with the applicable tax rate used in
19 extending taxes for the funds of the district as of September
20 30 of the previous year. The Department of Revenue shall add
21 to the equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
22 each school district situated entirely or partially within a
23 county with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants an amount equal to
24 the total amount by which the homestead exemptions allowed
25 under Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for
26 real property situated in that school district exceeds the
27 total amount that would have been allowed in that school
28 district as homestead exemptions under those Sections if the
29 maximum reduction under Section 15-170 of the Property Tax
30 Code was $2,000 and the maximum reduction under Section
31 15-175 of the Property Tax Code was $3,500. The county clerk
32 of any county with 2,000,000 or more inhabitants shall
33 annually calculate and certify to the Department for each
34 school district all homestead exemption amounts required by
HB1269 Enrolled -137- LRB9001000EGfg
1 this amendatory Act of 1992. In a new district which has not
2 had any tax rates yet determined for extension of taxes, a
3 leveled uniform rate shall be computed from the latest amount
4 of the fund taxes extended on the several areas within such
5 new district.
6 (r) If a school district operates a full year school
7 under Section 10-19.1, the general state aid to the school
8 district shall be determined by the State Board of Education
9 in accordance with this Section as near as may be applicable.
10 2. New or recomputed claim. The general State aid
11 entitlement for a newly created school district or a district
12 which has annexed an entire school district shall be computed
13 using attendance, compensatory pupil counts, equalized
14 assessed valuation, and tax rate data which would have been
15 used had the district been in existence for 3 years. General
16 State aid entitlements shall not be recomputed except as
17 permitted herein.
18 3. Impaction. Impaction payments shall be made as
19 provided for in Section 18-4.2.
20 4. Summer school. Summer school payments shall be made
21 as provided in Section 18-4.3.
22 5. Computation of State aid. The State grant shall be
23 determined as follows:
24 (a) The State shall guarantee the amount of money that a
25 district's operating tax rate as limited in other Sections of
26 this Act would produce if every district maintaining grades
27 kindergarten through 12 had an equalized assessed valuation
28 equal to $74,791 per weighted ADA pupil; every district
29 maintaining grades kindergarten through 8 had an equalized
30 assessed valuation of $108,644 per weighted ADA pupil; and
31 every district maintaining grades 9 through 12 had an
32 equalized assessed valuation of $187,657 per weighted ADA
33 pupil. The State Board of Education shall adjust the
34 equalized assessed valuation amounts stated in this
HB1269 Enrolled -138- LRB9001000EGfg
1 paragraph, if necessary, to conform to the amount of the
2 appropriation approved for any fiscal year.
3 (b) The operating tax rate to be used shall consist of
4 all district taxes extended for all purposes except community
5 college educational purposes for the payment of tuition under
6 Section 6-1 of the Public Community College Act, Bond and
7 Interest, Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement and
8 Vocational Education Building. Any district may elect to
9 exclude Transportation from the calculation of its operating
10 tax rate. Districts may include taxes extended for the
11 payment of principal and interest on bonds issued under the
12 provisions of Sections 17-2.11a and 20-2 at a rate of .05%
13 per year for each purpose or the actual rate extended,
14 whichever is less.
15 (c) For calculation of aid under this Act a district
16 shall use the combined authorized tax rates of all funds not
17 exempt in (b) above, not to exceed 2.76% of the value of all
18 its taxable property as equalized or assessed by the
19 Department of Revenue for districts maintaining grades
20 kindergarten through 12; 1.90% of the value of all its
21 taxable property as equalized or assessed by the Department
22 of Revenue for districts maintaining grades kindergarten
23 through 8 only; 1.10% of the value of all its taxable
24 property as equalized or assessed by the Department of
25 Revenue for districts maintaining grades 9 through 12 only.
26 A district may, however, as provided in Article 17, increase
27 its operating tax rate above the maximum rate provided in
28 this subsection without affecting the amount of State aid to
29 which it is entitled under this Act.
30 (d) (1) For districts maintaining grades kindergarten
31 through 12 with an operating tax rate as described in
32 subsections 5(b) and (c) of less than 2.18%, and districts
33 maintaining grades kindergarten through 8 with an operating
34 tax rate of less than 1.28%, State aid shall be computed by
HB1269 Enrolled -139- LRB9001000EGfg
1 multiplying the difference between the guaranteed equalized
2 assessed valuation per weighted ADA pupil in subsection 5(a)
3 and the equalized assessed valuation per weighted ADA pupil
4 in the district by the operating tax rate, multiplied by the
5 weighted average daily attendance of the district; provided,
6 however, that for the 1989-1990 school year only, a school
7 district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8 whose
8 operating tax rate with reference to which its general State
9 aid for the 1989-1990 school year is determined is less than
10 1.28% and more than 1.090%, and which had an operating tax
11 rate of 1.28% or more for the previous year, shall have its
12 general State aid computed according to the provisions of
13 subsection 5(d)(2).
14 (2) For districts maintaining grades kindergarten
15 through 12 with an operating tax rate as described in
16 subsection 5(b) and (c) of 2.18% and above, the State aid
17 shall be computed as provided in subsection (d) (1) but as
18 though the district had an operating tax rate of 2.76%; in
19 K-8 districts with an operating tax rate of 1.28% and above,
20 the State aid shall be computed as provided in subsection (d)
21 (1) but as though the district had an operating tax rate of
22 1.90%; and in 9-12 districts, the State aid shall be computed
23 by multiplying the difference between the guaranteed
24 equalized assessed valuation per weighted average daily
25 attendance pupil in subsection 5(a) and the equalized
26 assessed valuation per weighted average daily attendance
27 pupil in the district by the operating tax rate, not to
28 exceed 1.10%, multiplied by the weighted average daily
29 attendance of the district. State aid computed under the
30 provisions of this subsection (d) (2) shall be treated as
31 separate from all other payments made pursuant to this
32 Section. The State Comptroller and State Treasurer shall
33 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Common School
34 Fund the amounts necessary to permit these claims to be paid
HB1269 Enrolled -140- LRB9001000EGfg
1 in equal installments along with other State aid payments
2 remaining to be made for the 1983-1984 school year under this
3 Section.
4 (3) For any school district whose 1995 equalized
5 assessed valuation is at least 6% less than its 1994
6 equalized assessed valuation as the result of a reduction in
7 the equalized assessed valuation of the taxable property
8 within such district of any one taxpayer whose taxable
9 property within the district has a 1994 equalized assessed
10 valuation constituting at least 20% of the 1994 equalized
11 assessed valuation of all taxable property within the
12 district, the 1996-97 State aid of such district shall be
13 computed using its 1995 equalized assessed valuation.
14 (4) For any school district whose 1988 equalized
15 assessed valuation is 55% or less of its 1981 equalized
16 assessed valuation, the 1990-91 State aid of such district
17 shall be computed by multiplying the 1988 equalized assessed
18 valuation by a factor of .8. Any such school district which
19 is reorganized effective for the 1991-92 school year shall
20 use the formula provided in this subparagraph for purposes of
21 the calculation made pursuant to subsection (m) of this
22 Section.
23 (e) The amount of State aid shall be computed under the
24 provisions of subsections 5(a) through 5(d) provided the
25 equalized assessed valuation per weighted ADA pupil is less
26 than .87 of the amounts in subsection 5(a). If the equalized
27 assessed valuation per weighted ADA pupil is equal to or
28 greater than .87 of the amounts in subsection 5(a), the State
29 aid shall be computed under the provisions of subsection
30 5(f).
31 (f) If the equalized assessed valuation per weighted ADA
32 pupil is equal to or greater than .87 of the amounts in
33 subsection 5(a), the State aid per weighted ADA pupil shall
34 be computed by multiplying the product of .13 times the
HB1269 Enrolled -141- LRB9001000EGfg
1 maximum per pupil amount computed under the provisions of
2 subsections 5(a) through 5(d) by an amount equal to the
3 quotient of .87 times the equalized assessed valuation per
4 weighted ADA pupil in subsection 5(a) for that type of
5 district divided by the district equalized valuation per
6 weighted ADA pupil except in no case shall the district
7 receive State aid per weighted ADA pupil of less than .07
8 times the maximum per pupil amount computed under the
9 provisions of subsections 5(a) through 5(d).
10 (g) In addition to the above grants, summer school
11 grants shall be made based upon the calculation as provided
12 in subsection 4 of this Section.
13 (h) The board of any district receiving any of the
14 grants provided for in this Section may apply those funds to
15 any fund so received for which that board is authorized to
16 make expenditures by law.
17 (i) (1) (a) In school districts with an average daily
18 attendance of 50,000 or more, the amount which is provided
19 under subsection 1(n) of this Section by the application of a
20 base Chapter 1 weighting factor of .375 shall be distributed
21 to the attendance centers within the district in proportion
22 to the number of pupils enrolled at each attendance center
23 who are eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches or
24 breakfasts under the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966 and
25 under the National School Lunch Act during the immediately
26 preceding school year. The amount of State aid provided
27 under subsection 1(n) of this Section by the application of
28 the Chapter 1 weighting factor in excess of .375 shall be
29 distributed to the attendance centers within the district in
30 proportion to the total enrollment at each attendance center.
31 Beginning with school year 1989-90, and each school year
32 thereafter, all funds provided under subsection 1 (n) of this
33 Section by the application of the Chapter 1 weighting factor
34 which are in excess of the level of non-targeted Chapter 1
HB1269 Enrolled -142- LRB9001000EGfg
1 funds in school year 1988-89 shall be distributed to
2 attendance centers, and only to attendance centers, within
3 the district in proportion to the number of pupils enrolled
4 at each attendance center who are eligible to receive free or
5 reduced price lunches or breakfasts under the Federal Child
6 Nutrition Act and under the National School Lunch Act during
7 the immediately preceding school year. Beginning in school
8 year 1989-90, 25% of the previously non-targeted Chapter 1
9 funds as established for school year 1988-89 shall also be
10 distributed to the attendance centers, and only to attendance
11 centers, in the district in proportion to the number of
12 pupils enrolled at each attendance center who are eligible to
13 receive free or reduced price lunches or breakfasts under the
14 Federal Child Nutrition Act and under the National School
15 Lunch Act during the immediately preceding school year; in
16 school year 1990-91, 50% of the previously non-targeted
17 Chapter 1 funds as established for school year 1988-89 shall
18 be distributed to attendance centers, and only to attendance
19 centers, in the district in proportion to the number of
20 pupils enrolled at each attendance center who are eligible to
21 receive such free or reduced price lunches or breakfasts
22 during the immediately preceding school year; in school year
23 1991-92, 75% of the previously non-targeted Chapter 1 funds
24 as established for school year 1988-89 shall be distributed
25 to attendance centers, and only to attendance centers, in the
26 district in proportion to the number of pupils enrolled at
27 each attendance center who are eligible to receive such free
28 or reduced price lunches or breakfasts during the immediately
29 preceding school year; in school year 1992-93 and thereafter,
30 all funds provided under subsection 1 (n) of this Section by
31 the application of the Chapter 1 weighting factor shall be
32 distributed to attendance centers, and only to attendance
33 centers, in the district in proportion to the number of
34 pupils enrolled at each attendance center who are eligible to
HB1269 Enrolled -143- LRB9001000EGfg
1 receive free or reduced price lunches or breakfasts under the
2 Federal Child Nutrition Act and under the National School
3 Lunch Act during the immediately preceding school year;
4 provided, however, that the distribution formula in effect
5 beginning with school year 1989-90 shall not be applicable to
6 such portion of State aid provided under subsection 1 (n) of
7 this Section by the application of the Chapter 1 weighting
8 formula as is set aside and appropriated by the school
9 district for the purpose of providing desegregation programs
10 and related transportation to students (which portion shall
11 not exceed 5% of the total amount of State aid which is
12 provided under subsection 1 (n) of this Section by
13 application of the Chapter 1 weighting formula), and the
14 relevant percentages shall be applied to the remaining
15 portion of such State aid. The distribution of these
16 portions of general State aid among attendance centers
17 according to these requirements shall not be compensated for
18 or contravened by adjustments of the total of other funds
19 appropriated to any attendance centers. (b) The Board of
20 Education shall utilize funding from one or several sources
21 in order to fully implement this provision annually prior to
22 the opening of school. The Board of Education shall apply
23 savings from reduced administrative costs required under
24 Section 34-43.1 and growth in non-Chapter 1 State and local
25 funds to assure that all attendance centers receive funding
26 to replace losses due to redistribution of Chapter 1 funding.
27 The distribution formula and funding to replace losses due to
28 the distribution formula shall occur, in full, using any and
29 all sources available, including, if necessary, revenue from
30 administrative reductions beyond those required in Section
31 34-43.1, in order to provide the necessary funds. (c) Each
32 attendance center shall be provided by the school district a
33 distribution of noncategorical funds and other categorical
34 funds to which an attendance center is entitled under law in
HB1269 Enrolled -144- LRB9001000EGfg
1 order that the State aid provided by application of the
2 Chapter 1 weighting factor and required to be distributed
3 among attendance centers according to the requirements of
4 this paragraph supplements rather than supplants the
5 noncategorical funds and other categorical funds provided by
6 the school district to the attendance centers.
7 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection
8 5(i)(1) or any other law to the contrary, beginning with the
9 1995-1996 school year and for each school year thereafter,
10 the board of a school district to which the provisions of
11 this subsection apply shall be required to allocate or
12 provide to attendance centers of the district in any such
13 school year, from the State aid provided for the district
14 under this Section by application of the Chapter 1 weighting
15 factor, an aggregate amount of not less than $261,000,000 of
16 State Chapter 1 funds. Any State Chapter 1 funds that by
17 reason of the provisions of this paragraph are not required
18 to be allocated and provided to attendance centers may be
19 used and appropriated by the board of the district for any
20 lawful school purpose. Chapter 1 funds received by an
21 attendance center (except those funds set aside for
22 desegregation programs and related transportation to
23 students) shall be used on the schedule cited in this Section
24 at the attendance center at the discretion of the principal
25 and local school council for programs to improve educational
26 opportunities at qualifying schools through the following
27 programs and services: early childhood education, reduced
28 class size or improved adult to student classroom ratio,
29 enrichment programs, remedial assistance, attendance
30 improvement and other educationally beneficial expenditures
31 which supplement the regular and basic programs as determined
32 by the State Board of Education. Chapter 1 funds shall not
33 be expended for any political or lobbying purposes as defined
34 by board rule. (d) Each district subject to the provisions of
HB1269 Enrolled -145- LRB9001000EGfg
1 this paragraph shall submit an acceptable plan to meet the
2 educational needs of disadvantaged children, in compliance
3 with the requirements of this paragraph, to the State Board
4 of Education prior to July 15 of each year. This plan shall
5 be consistent with the decisions of local school councils
6 concerning the school expenditure plans developed in
7 accordance with part 4 of Section 34-2.3. The State Board
8 shall approve or reject the plan within 60 days after its
9 submission. If the plan is rejected the district shall give
10 written notice of intent to modify the plan within 15 days of
11 the notification of rejection and then submit a modified plan
12 within 30 days after the date of the written notice of intent
13 to modify. Districts may amend approved plans pursuant to
14 rules promulgated by the State Board of Education.
15 Upon notification by the State Board of Education that
16 the district has not submitted a plan prior to July 15 or a
17 modified plan within the time period specified herein, the
18 State aid funds affected by said plan or modified plan shall
19 be withheld by the State Board of Education until a plan or
20 modified plan is submitted.
21 If the district fails to distribute State aid to
22 attendance centers in accordance with an approved plan, the
23 plan for the following year shall allocate funds, in addition
24 to the funds otherwise required by this subparagraph, to
25 those attendance centers which were underfunded during the
26 previous year in amounts equal to such underfunding.
27 For purposes of determining compliance with this
28 subsection in relation to Chapter 1 expenditures, each
29 district subject to the provisions of this subsection shall
30 submit as a separate document by December 1 of each year a
31 report of Chapter 1 expenditure data for the prior year in
32 addition to any modification of its current plan. If it is
33 determined that there has been a failure to comply with the
34 expenditure provisions of this subsection regarding
HB1269 Enrolled -146- LRB9001000EGfg
1 contravention or supplanting, the State Superintendent of
2 Education shall, within 60 days of receipt of the report,
3 notify the district and any affected local school council.
4 The district shall within 45 days of receipt of that
5 notification inform the State Superintendent of Education of
6 the remedial or corrective action to be taken, whether by
7 amendment of the current plan, if feasible, or by adjustment
8 in the plan for the following year. Failure to provide the
9 expenditure report or the notification of remedial or
10 corrective action in a timely manner shall result in a
11 withholding of the affected funds.
12 The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and
13 regulations to implement the provisions of this subsection
14 5(i)(1). No funds shall be released under subsection 1(n) of
15 this Section or under this subsection 5(i)(1) to any district
16 which has not submitted a plan which has been approved by the
17 State Board of Education.
18 (2) School districts with an average daily attendance of
19 more than 1,000 and less than 50,000 and having a low income
20 pupil weighting factor in excess of .53 shall submit a plan
21 to the State Board of Education prior to October 30 of each
22 year for the use of the funds resulting from the application
23 of subsection 1(n) of this Section for the improvement of
24 instruction in which priority is given to meeting the
25 education needs of disadvantaged children. Such plan shall
26 be submitted in accordance with rules and regulations
27 promulgated by the State Board of Education.
28 (j) For the purposes of calculating State aid under this
29 Section, with respect to any part of a school district within
30 a redevelopment project area in respect to which a
31 municipality has adopted tax increment allocation financing
32 pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act,
33 Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11 of the Illinois
34 Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law, Sections
HB1269 Enrolled -147- LRB9001000EGfg
1 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
2 no part of the current equalized assessed valuation of real
3 property located in any such project area which is
4 attributable to an increase above the total initial equalized
5 assessed valuation of such property shall be used in
6 computing the equalized assessed valuation per weighted ADA
7 pupil in the district, until such time as all redevelopment
8 project costs have been paid, as provided in Section
9 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act
10 or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law.
11 For the purpose of computing the equalized assessed valuation
12 per weighted ADA pupil in the district the total initial
13 equalized assessed valuation or the current equalized
14 assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be used until
15 such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid.
16 (k) For a school district operating under the financial
17 supervision of an Authority created under Article 34A, the
18 State aid otherwise payable to that district under this
19 Section, other than State aid attributable to Chapter 1
20 students, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the budget
21 for the operations of the Authority as certified by the
22 Authority to the State Board of Education, and an amount
23 equal to such reduction shall be paid to the Authority
24 created for such district for its operating expenses in the
25 manner provided in Section 18-11. The remainder of State
26 school aid for any such district shall be paid in accordance
27 with Article 34A when that Article provides for a disposition
28 other than that provided by this Article.
29 (l) For purposes of calculating State aid under this
30 Section, the equalized assessed valuation for a school
31 district used to compute State aid shall be determined by
32 adding to the real property equalized assessed valuation for
33 the district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
34 money received by the district under the provisions of "An
HB1269 Enrolled -148- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Act in relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal
2 property tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby",
3 certified August 14, 1979, by the total tax rate for the
4 district. For purposes of this subsection 1976 tax rates
5 shall be used for school districts in the county of Cook and
6 1977 tax rates shall be used for school districts in all
7 other counties.
8 (m) (1) For a new school district formed by combining
9 property included totally within 2 or more previously
10 existing school districts, for its first year of existence or
11 if the new district was formed after October 31, 1982 and
12 prior to September 23, 1985, for the year immediately
13 following September 23, 1985, the State aid calculated under
14 this Section shall be computed for the new district and for
15 the previously existing districts for which property is
16 totally included within the new district. If the computation
17 on the basis of the previously existing districts is greater,
18 a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be made
19 for the first 3 years of existence of the new district or if
20 the new district was formed after October 31, 1982 and prior
21 to September 23, 1985, for the 3 years immediately following
22 September 23, 1985.
23 (2) For a school district which annexes all of the
24 territory of one or more entire other school districts, for
25 the first year during which the change of boundaries
26 attributable to such annexation becomes effective for all
27 purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 7A-8, the State
28 aid calculated under this Section shall be computed for the
29 annexing district as constituted after the annexation and for
30 the annexing and each annexed district as constituted prior
31 to the annexation; and if the computation on the basis of the
32 annexing and annexed districts as constituted prior to the
33 annexation is greater, a supplementary payment equal to the
34 difference shall be made for the first 3 years of existence
HB1269 Enrolled -149- LRB9001000EGfg
1 of the annexing school district as constituted upon such
2 annexation.
3 (3) For 2 or more school districts which annex all of
4 the territory of one or more entire other school districts,
5 and for 2 or more community unit districts which result upon
6 the division (pursuant to petition under Section 11A-2) of
7 one or more other unit school districts into 2 or more parts
8 and which together include all of the parts into which such
9 other unit school district or districts are so divided, for
10 the first year during which the change of boundaries
11 attributable to such annexation or division becomes effective
12 for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 11A-10,
13 as the case may be, the State aid calculated under this
14 Section shall be computed for each annexing or resulting
15 district as constituted after the annexation or division and
16 for each annexing and annexed district, or for each resulting
17 and divided district, as constituted prior to the annexation
18 or division; and if the aggregate of the State aid as so
19 computed for the annexing or resulting districts as
20 constituted after the annexation or division is less than the
21 aggregate of the State aid as so computed for the annexing
22 and annexed districts, or for the resulting and divided
23 districts, as constituted prior to the annexation or
24 division, then a supplementary payment equal to the
25 difference shall be made and allocated between or among the
26 annexing or resulting districts, as constituted upon such
27 annexation or division, for the first 3 years of their
28 existence. The total difference payment shall be allocated
29 between or among the annexing or resulting districts in the
30 same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion of the
31 annexed or divided district or districts which is annexed to
32 or included in each such annexing or resulting district bears
33 to the total pupil enrollment from the entire annexed or
34 divided district or districts, as such pupil enrollment is
HB1269 Enrolled -150- LRB9001000EGfg
1 determined for the school year last ending prior to the date
2 when the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation
3 or division becomes effective for all purposes. The amount
4 of the total difference payment and the amount thereof to be
5 allocated to the annexing or resulting districts shall be
6 computed by the State Board of Education on the basis of
7 pupil enrollment and other data which shall be certified to
8 the State Board of Education, on forms which it shall provide
9 for that purpose, by the regional superintendent of schools
10 for each educational service region in which the annexing and
11 annexed districts, or resulting and divided districts are
12 located.
13 (4) If a unit school district annexes all the territory
14 of another unit school district effective for all purposes
15 pursuant to Section 7-9 on July 1, 1988, and if part of the
16 annexed territory is detached within 90 days after July 1,
17 1988, then the detachment shall be disregarded in computing
18 the supplementary State aid payments under this paragraph (m)
19 for the entire 3 year period and the supplementary State aid
20 payments shall not be diminished because of the detachment.
21 (5) Any supplementary State aid payment made under this
22 paragraph (m) shall be treated as separate from all other
23 payments made pursuant to this Section.
24 (n) For the purposes of calculating State aid under this
25 Section, the real property equalized assessed valuation for a
26 school district used to compute State aid shall be determined
27 by subtracting from the real property value as equalized or
28 assessed by the Department of Revenue for the district an
29 amount computed by dividing the amount of any abatement of
30 taxes under Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by the
31 maximum operating tax rates specified in subsection 5(c) of
32 this Section and an amount computed by dividing the amount of
33 any abatement of taxes under subsection (a) of Section 18-165
34 of the Property Tax Code by the maximum operating tax rates
HB1269 Enrolled -151- LRB9001000EGfg
1 specified in subsection 5(c) of this Section.
2 (o) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
3 Section, for the 1996-1997 school year the amount of the
4 aggregate general State aid entitlement that is received
5 under this Section by each school district for that school
6 year shall be not less than the amount of the aggregate
7 general State aid entitlement that was received by the
8 district under this Section for the 1995-1996 school year. If
9 a school district is to receive an aggregate general State
10 aid entitlement under this Section for the 1996-1997 school
11 year that is less than the amount of the aggregate general
12 State aid entitlement that the district received under this
13 Section for the 1995-1996 school year, the school district
14 shall also receive, from a separate appropriation made for
15 purposes of this paragraph (o), a supplementary payment that
16 is equal to the amount by which the general State aid
17 entitlement received by the district under this Section for
18 the 1995-1996 school year exceeds the general State aid
19 entitlement that the district is to receive under this
20 Section for the 1996-1997 school year. If the amount
21 appropriated for supplementary payments to school districts
22 under this paragraph (o) is insufficient for that purpose,
23 the supplementary payments that districts are to receive
24 under this paragraph shall be prorated according to the
25 aggregate amount of the appropriation made for purposes of
26 this paragraph.
27 B. In calculating the amount to be paid to the governing
28 board of a public university that operates a laboratory
29 school under this Section or to any alternative school that
30 is operated by a regional superintendent, the State Board of
31 Education shall require by rule such reporting requirements
32 as it deems necessary.
33 As used in this Section, "laboratory school" means a
34 public school which is created and operated by a public
HB1269 Enrolled -152- LRB9001000EGfg
1 university and approved by the State Board of Education. The
2 governing board of a public university which receives funds
3 from the State Board under this subsection B may not increase
4 the number of students enrolled in its laboratory school from
5 a single district, if that district is already sending 50 or
6 more students, except under a mutual agreement between the
7 school board of a student's district of residence and the
8 university which operates the laboratory school. A
9 laboratory school may not have more than 1,000 students,
10 excluding students with disabilities in a special education
11 program.
12 As used in this Section, "alternative school" means a
13 public school which is created and operated by a Regional
14 Superintendent of Schools and approved by the State Board of
15 Education. Such alternative schools may offer courses of
16 instruction for which credit is given in regular school
17 programs, courses to prepare students for the high school
18 equivalency testing program or vocational and occupational
19 training.
20 Each laboratory and alternative school shall file, on
21 forms provided by the State Superintendent of Education, an
22 annual State aid claim which states the average daily
23 attendance of the school's students by month. The best 3
24 months' average daily attendance shall be computed for each
25 school. The weighted average daily attendance shall be
26 computed and the weighted average daily attendance for the
27 school's most recent 3 year average shall be compared to the
28 most recent weighted average daily attendance, and the
29 greater of the 2 shall be used for the calculation under this
30 subsection B. The general State aid entitlement shall be
31 computed by multiplying the school's student count by the
32 foundation level as determined under this Section.

30 Each local school council shall have and exercise, consistent
31 with the provisions of this Article and the powers and duties
32 of the board of education, the following powers and duties:
33 1. To evaluate the performance of the principal of the
HB1269 Enrolled -155- LRB9001000EGfg
1 attendance center taking into consideration the annual
2 evaluation of the principal conducted by the general
3 superintendent pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 34-8.3,
4 to determine in the manner provided by subsection (c) of
5 Section 34-2.2 whether the performance contract of the
6 principal shall be renewed, and to directly select in the
7 manner provided by subsection (c) of Section 34-2.2 a new
8 principal (including a new principal to fill a vacancy) --
9 without submitting any list of candidates for that position
10 to the general superintendent as provided in paragraph 2 of
11 this Section -- to serve under a 4 year performance contract;
12 provided that (i) the determination of whether the
13 principal's performance contract is to be renewed and -- in
14 cases where such performance contract is not renewed -- a
15 direct selection of a new principal -- to serve under a 4
16 year performance contract shall be made by the local school
17 council by April 15 of the calendar year in which the current
18 performance contract of the principal expires, and (ii) a
19 direct selection by the local school council of a new
20 principal to fill a vacancy under a 4 year performance
21 contract shall be made within 90 days after the date such
22 vacancy occurs. A Council shall be required, if requested by
23 the principal, to provide in writing the reasons for the
24 council's not renewing the principal's contract.
25 2. In the event (i) the local school council does not
26 renew the performance contract of the principal, or the
27 principal fails to receive a satisfactory rating as provided
28 in subsection (h) of Section 34-8.3, or the principal is
29 removed for cause during the term of his or her performance
30 contract in the manner provided by Section 34-85, or a
31 vacancy in the position of principal otherwise occurs prior
32 to the expiration of the term of a principal's performance
33 contract, and (ii) the local school council fails to directly
34 select a new principal (including a new principal to fill a
HB1269 Enrolled -156- LRB9001000EGfg
1 vacancy) to serve under a 4 year performance contract, the
2 local school council in such event shall submit to the
3 general superintendent a list of 3 candidates -- listed in
4 the local school council's order of preference -- for the
5 position of principal, one of which shall be selected by the
6 general superintendent to serve as principal of the
7 attendance center. If the general superintendent fails or
8 refuses to select one of the candidates on the list to serve
9 as principal within 30 days after being furnished with the
10 candidate list, the local school council within 15 days after
11 such failure or refusal shall itself select one of the
12 candidates from the list as principal of the attendance
13 center. There shall be no discrimination on the basis of
14 race, sex, creed, color or disability unrelated to ability to
15 perform in connection with the submission of candidates for,
16 and the selection of a candidate to serve as principal of an
17 attendance center. No person shall be directly selected,
18 listed as a candidate for, or selected to serve as principal
19 of an attendance center (i) if such person has been removed
20 for cause from employment by the Board or (ii) if such person
21 does not hold a valid administrative certificate issued or
22 exchanged under Article 21 and endorsed as required by that
23 Article for the position of principal. A principal whose
24 performance contract is not renewed as provided under
25 subsection (c) of Section 34-2.2 may nevertheless, if
26 otherwise qualified and certified as herein provided and if
27 he or she has received a satisfactory rating as provided in
28 subsection (h) of Section 34-8.3, be included by a local
29 school council as one of the 3 candidates listed in order of
30 preference on any candidate list from which one person is to
31 be selected to serve as principal of the attendance center
32 under a new performance contract. The initial candidate list
33 required to be submitted by a local school council to the
34 general superintendent in cases where the local school
HB1269 Enrolled -157- LRB9001000EGfg
1 council does not renew the performance contract of its
2 principal and does not directly select a new principal to
3 serve under a 4 year performance contract shall be submitted
4 not later than May 1 of the calendar year in which such
5 performance contract expires. In cases where a principal is
6 removed for cause or a vacancy otherwise occurs in the
7 position of principal and the vacancy is not filled by direct
8 selection by the local school council, the candidate list
9 shall be submitted by the local school council to the general
10 superintendent not later than 90 days after the date such
11 removal or vacancy occurs.
12 2.5. Whenever a vacancy in the office of a principal
13 occurs for any reason, the vacancy shall be filled in the
14 manner provided by this Section by the selection of a new
15 principal to serve under a 4 year performance contract.
16 3. To establish additional criteria to be included as
17 part of the performance contract of its principal, provided
18 that such additional criteria shall not discriminate on the
19 basis of race, sex, creed, color or disability unrelated to
20 ability to perform, and shall not be inconsistent with the
21 uniform 4 year performance contract for principals developed
22 by the board as provided in Section 34-8.1 of the School Code
23 or with other provisions of this Article governing the
24 authority and responsibility of principals.
25 4. To approve the expenditure plan prepared by the
26 principal with respect to all funds allocated and distributed
27 to the attendance center by the Board. The expenditure plan
28 shall be administered by the principal. Notwithstanding any
29 other provision of this Act or any other law, any expenditure
30 plan approved and administered under this Section 34-2.3
31 shall be consistent with and subject to the terms of any
32 contract for services with a third party entered into by the
33 Chicago School Reform Board of Trustees or the board under
34 this Act.

1 Via a supermajority vote of 7 members of the local school
2 council or 8 members of a high school local school council,
3 the Council may transfer allocations pursuant to Section
4 34-2.3 within funds; provided that such a transfer is
5 consistent with applicable law and collective bargaining
6 agreements.
7 Beginning in fiscal year 1991 and in each fiscal year
8 thereafter, the Board may reserve up to 1% of its total
9 fiscal year budget for distribution on a prioritized basis to
10 schools throughout the school system in order to assure
11 adequate programs to meet the needs of special student
12 populations as determined by the Board. This distribution
13 shall take into account the needs catalogued in the
14 Systemwide Plan and the various local school improvement
15 plans of the local school councils. Information about these
16 centrally funded programs shall be distributed to the local
17 school councils so that their subsequent planning and
18 programming will account for these provisions.
19 Beginning in fiscal year 1991 and in each fiscal year
20 thereafter, from other amounts available in the applicable
21 fiscal year budget, the board shall allocate a lump sum
22 amount to each local school based upon such formula as the
23 board shall determine taking into account the special needs
24 of the student body. The local school principal shall
25 develop an expenditure plan in consultation with the local
26 school council, the professional personnel advisory committee
27 and with all other school personnel, which reflects the
28 priorities and activities as described in the school's local
29 school improvement plan and is consistent with applicable law
30 and collective bargaining agreements and with board policies
31 and standards; however, the local school council shall have
32 the right to request waivers of board policy from the board
33 of education and waivers of employee collective bargaining
34 agreements pursuant to Section 34-8.1a.

1 The expenditure plan developed by the principal with
2 respect to amounts available from the fund for prioritized
3 special needs programs and the allocated lump sum amount must
4 be approved by the local school council.
5 The lump sum allocation shall take into account the
6 following principles:
7 a. Teachers: Each school shall be allocated funds
8 equal to the amount appropriated in the previous school
9 year for compensation for teachers (regular grades
10 kindergarten through 12th grade) plus whatever increases
11 in compensation have been negotiated contractually or
12 through longevity as provided in the negotiated
13 agreement. Adjustments shall be made due to layoff or
14 reduction in force, lack of funds or work, change in
15 subject requirements, enrollment changes, or contracts
16 with third parties for the performance of services or to
17 rectify any inconsistencies with system-wide allocation
18 formulas or for other legitimate reasons.
19 b. Other personnel: Funds for other teacher
20 certificated and uncertificated personnel paid through
21 non-categorical funds shall be provided according to
22 system-wide formulas based on student enrollment and the
23 special needs of the school as determined by the Board.

22 (a) When the directors have organized as provided in
23 Section 12 of this Act, and the capital stock and the
24 preferred stock, if any, together with a surplus of not less
25 than 50% of the capital, and a reserve for operating expenses
26 of at least 25% of the capital, has been all fully paid in
27 and a record of the same filed with the Commissioner, the
28 Commissioner or some competent person of the Commissioner's
29 appointment shall make a thorough examination into the
30 affairs of the proposed bank, and if satisfied that all the
31 requirements of this Act have been complied with, and that no
32 intervening circumstance has occurred to change the
33 Commissioner's findings made pursuant to Section 10 of this
HB1269 Enrolled -175- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Act, upon payment into the Commissioner's office of the
2 reasonable expenses of the examination, as determined by the
3 Commissioner, the Commissioner shall issue a charter
4 authorizing the bank to commence business as authorized in
5 this Act. All charters issued by the Commissioner or any
6 predecessor agency which chartered State banks, including any
7 charter outstanding as of September 1, 1989, shall be
8 perpetual. For the 2 years after the Commissioner has issued
9 a charter to a bank, the bank shall request and obtain from
10 the Commissioner prior written approval before it may change
11 senior management personnel or directors.
12 The charter, duly certified by the Commissioner, shall be
13 recorded, and the original or a certified copy shall be
14 evidence in all courts and places of the existence and
15 authority of the bank to do business. Upon the recording of
16 the charter the bank shall be deemed fully organized and may
17 proceed to do business. The Commissioner may, in the
18 Commissioner's discretion, withhold the issuing of the
19 charter when the Commissioner has reason to believe that the
20 bank is organized for any purpose other than that
21 contemplated by this Act or that a commission or fee has been
22 paid in connection with the sale of the stock of the bank.
23 The Commissioner shall revoke the charter and order
24 liquidation in the event that the bank does not commence a
25 general banking business within one year from the date of the
26 issuance of the charter, unless a request has been submitted,
27 in writing, to the Commissioner for an extension and the
28 request has been approved. After commencing a general
29 banking business, a bank, upon written notice to the
30 Commissioner, may change its name.
31 (b) (1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a
32 bank that is owned exclusively by other depository
33 institutions or depository institution holding companies and
34 is organized to engage exclusively in providing services to
HB1269 Enrolled -176- LRB9001000EGfg
1 or for other depository institutions, their holding
2 companies, and the officers, directors, and employees of such
3 institutions and companies, and in providing correspondent
4 banking services at the request of other depository
5 institutions or their holding companies (also referred to as
6 a "bankers' bank").
7 (2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall,
8 except as otherwise specifically determined by the
9 Commissioner, be vested with the same rights and privileges
10 and subject to the same duties, restrictions, penalties, and
11 liabilities now or hereafter imposed under this Act.
12 (c) A bank chartered under this Act after November 1,
13 1985, and an out-of-state bank that merges with a State bank
14 and establishes or maintains a branch in this State after May
15 31, 1997, shall obtain from and, at all times while it
16 accepts or retains deposits, maintain with the Federal
17 Deposit Insurance Corporation, or such other instrumentality
18 of or corporation chartered by the United States, deposit
19 insurance as authorized under federal law.
20 (d) (i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the
21 Commissioner under this Act may, pursuant to a written
22 purchase and assumption agreement, transfer substantially all
23 of its assets to another State bank or national bank in
24 consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee banks'
25 assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. Such a
26 transfer shall in no way be deemed to impair the charter of
27 the transferor bank or cause the transferor bank to forfeit
28 any of its rights, powers, interests, franchises, or
29 privileges as a State bank, nor shall any voluntary reduction
30 in the transferor bank's activities resulting from the
31 transfer have any such effect; provided, however, that a
32 State bank that transfers substantially all of its assets
33 pursuant to this subsection (d) and following the transfer
34 does not accept deposits and make loans, shall not have any
HB1269 Enrolled -177- LRB9001000EGfg
1 rights, powers, interests, franchises, or privileges under
2 subsection (15) of Section 5 of this Act until the bank has
3 resumed accepting deposits and making loans.
4 (ii) The fact that a State bank does not resume
5 accepting deposits and making loans for a period of 24 months
6 commencing on September 11, 1989 or on a date of the transfer
7 of substantially all of a State bank's assets, whichever is
8 later, or such longer period as the Commissioner may allow in
9 writing, may be the basis for a finding by the Commissioner
10 under Section 51 of this Act that the bank is unable to
11 continue operations.
12 (iii) The authority provided by subdivision (i) of this
13 subsection (d)(i) shall terminate on May 31, 1997, and no
14 bank that has transferred substantially all of its assets
15 pursuant to this subsection (d) shall continue in existence
16 after May 31, 1997.

20 Sec. 47. Reports to Commissioner.
21 (a) All State banks shall make a full and accurate
22 statement of their affairs at least 1 time during each
23 calendar quarter which shall be certified to, under oath by
24 the president, a vice-president or the cashier of such bank.
25 If the statement is submitted in electronic form, the
26 Commissioner may, in the call for the report, specify the
27 manner in which the appropriate officer of the bank shall
28 certify the statement of affairs. The statement shall be
29 according to the form which may be prescribed by the
30 Commissioner and shall exhibit in detail information
31 concerning such bank at the close of business of any day the
32 Commissioner may choose and designate in a call for such
33 report. Each bank shall deliver its quarterly statement to
HB1269 Enrolled -178- LRB9001000EGfg
1 the location specified by the Commissioner within 30 calendar
2 days of the date of the call for such reports. If the
3 quarterly statement is mailed, it must be postmarked within
4 the period prescribed for delivery, and if the quarterly
5 statement is delivered in electronic form, the bank shall
6 generate and retain satisfactory proof that it has caused the
7 report to be delivered within the period prescribed for
8 delivery. Within 60 calendar days after the Commissioner's
9 call for the fourth calendar quarter statement of affairs, a
10 State bank shall publish an annual disclosure statement
11 setting forth the information required by rule of the
12 Commissioner. The disclosure statement shall contain the
13 required information as of the close of the business day
14 designated by the Commissioner for the fourth quarter
15 statement of affairs. Any bank failing to make and deliver
16 such statement or to comply with any provisions of this
17 Section may be subject to a penalty payable to the
18 Commissioner of $100 for each day of noncompliance.
19 (b) In addition to the foregoing reports, any bank which
20 is the victim of a shortage of funds in excess of $10,000, an
21 apparent misapplication of the bank's funds by an officer,
22 employee or director, or any adverse legal action in an
23 amount in excess of 10% of total unimpaired capital and
24 unimpaired surplus of the bank, including but not limited to,
25 the entry of an adverse money judgment against the bank or a
26 write-off of assets of the bank, shall report that
27 information in writing to the Commissioner within 7 days of
28 the occurrence. Neither the bank, its directors, officers,
29 employees or its agents, in the preparation or filing of the
30 reports required by subsection (b) of this Section, shall be
31 subject to any liability for libel, slander, or other charges
32 resulting from information supplied in such reports, except
33 when the supplying of such information is done in a corrupt
34 or malicious manner or otherwise not in good faith.

4 Sec. 48. Commissioner's powers; duties. The Commissioner
5 shall have the powers and authority, and is charged with the
6 duties and responsibilities designated in this Act, and a
7 State bank shall not be subject to any other visitorial power
8 other than as authorized by this Act, except those vested in
9 the courts. In the performance of the Commissioner's duties:
10 (1) The Commissioner shall call for statements from all
11 State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time
12 during each calendar quarter.
13 (2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner
14 shall deem necessary or proper, and at least once in each
15 year, shall appoint a suitable person or persons to make an
16 examination of the affairs of every State bank, except that
17 for every eligible State bank, as defined by regulation, the
18 Commissioner in lieu of an annual examination every other
19 year shall accept the examination made by the eligible State
20 bank's appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section
21 111 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
22 Act of 1991, provided the appropriate federal banking agency
23 has made such an examination. A person so appointed shall not
24 be a stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which
25 that person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers
26 to make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the
27 bank and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents
28 or employees thereof on oath and shall make a full and
29 detailed report of the condition of the bank to the
30 Commissioner. In making the examination the examiners shall
31 include an examination of the affairs of all the affiliates
32 of the bank, as defined in subsection (b) of Section 35.2 of
33 this Act, as shall be necessary to disclose fully the
HB1269 Enrolled -180- LRB9001000EGfg
1 conditions of the affiliates, the relations between the bank
2 and the affiliates and the effect of those relations upon the
3 affairs of the bank, and in connection therewith shall have
4 power to examine any of the officers, directors, agents, or
5 employees of the affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the
6 Commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with state
7 regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
8 examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
9 Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank
10 branches from those state regulatory authorities. These
11 cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in which the
12 other state regulatory authorities may be compensated for
13 examinations prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
14 (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized
15 to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary
16 or proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The Commissioner
17 may establish and may assess fees to be paid to the
18 Commissioner for examinations under this subsection (b). The
19 fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees
20 are borne by the state regulatory authority that chartered
21 the out-of-state bank, as determined by a cooperative
22 agreement between the Commissioner and the state regulatory
23 authority that chartered the out-of-state bank.
24 (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or
25 affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch
26 of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract
27 or otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off
28 its premises:
29 (a) that performance shall be subject to
30 examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as if
31 services were being performed by the bank or, after May
32 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on its
33 own premises; and
34 (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
HB1269 Enrolled -181- LRB9001000EGfg
1 out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
2 existence of a service relationship. The notification
3 shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
4 (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the
5 making of the service contract or the performance of the
6 service, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner shall
7 be notified of each subsequent contract in the same
8 manner.
9 For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
10 services" means services such as sorting and posting of
11 checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest and
12 other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,
13 statements, notices, and similar items, or any other
14 clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or similar
15 functions performed for a State bank, including but not
16 limited to electronic data processing related to those bank
17 services.
18 (3) The expense of administering this Act, including the
19 expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in
20 this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from
21 the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and (b) of
22 this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by the
23 State banks:
24 (a) Each bank shall pay to the Commissioner a Call
25 Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments
26 equal to one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of
27 $800, plus a variable fee based on the assets shown on
28 the quarterly statement of condition delivered to the
29 Commissioner in accordance with Section 47 for the
30 preceding quarter according to the following schedule:
31 16¢ per $1,000 of the first $5,000,000 of total assets,
32 15¢ per $1,000 of the next $20,000,000 of total assets,
33 13¢ per $1,000 of the next $75,000,000 of total assets,
34 9¢ per $1,000 of the next $400,000,000 of total assets,
HB1269 Enrolled -182- LRB9001000EGfg
1 7¢ per $1,000 of the next $500,000,000 of total assets,
2 and 5¢ per $1,000 of all assets in excess of
3 $1,000,000,000, of the State bank. The Call Report Fee
4 shall be calculated by the Commissioner and billed to the
5 banks for remittance at the time of the quarterly
6 statements of condition provided for in Section 47. The
7 Commissioner may require payment of the fees provided in
8 this Section by an electronic transfer of funds or an
9 automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
10 In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed
11 by the Commissioner to be necessary in any fiscal year
12 and is performed at his direction, the Commissioner may
13 assess a reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of
14 the additional examination, but the additional fee shall
15 not exceed the sum of the remittances from the Call
16 Report Fees applicable to the 4 consecutive quarterly
17 statements of condition immediately preceding the date of
18 the additional examination. In lieu of the method and
19 amounts set forth in this paragraph (a) for the
20 calculation of the Call Report Fee, the Commissioner may
21 specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
22 this Section may be assessed semiannually or some other
23 period and may provide in the rule the formula to be used
24 for calculating and assessing the periodic Call Report
25 Fees to be paid by State banks.
26 (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
27 emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner may
28 assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of
29 a State bank with whatever frequency he deems
30 appropriate, including but not limited to a daily basis.
31 The reasonable and necessary expenses of the Commissioner
32 during the period of the monitoring shall be borne by the
33 subject bank. The Commissioner shall furnish the State
34 bank a statement of time and expenses if requested to do
HB1269 Enrolled -183- LRB9001000EGfg
1 so within 30 days of the conclusion of the monitoring
2 period.
3 (a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable
4 and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
5 examination of the performance of electronic data
6 processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be borne
7 by the banks for which the services are provided. An
8 amount, based upon a fee structure prescribed by the
9 Commissioner, shall be paid by the banks or, after May
10 31, 1997, branches of out-of-state banks receiving the
11 electronic data processing services along with the Call
12 Report Fee assessed under paragraph (a) of this
13 subsection (3).
14 (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and
15 necessary expenses of the Commissioner during examination
16 of the performance of electronic data processing services
17 under subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of
18 out-of-state banks shall be borne by the out-of-state
19 banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
20 regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
21 banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between
22 the Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities
23 that chartered the out-of-state banks.
24 (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48
25 is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
26 ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
27 receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal
28 year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the
29 lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State
30 banks under paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that
31 year, or the amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the
32 administration expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for
33 that fiscal year exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the
34 fees payable by all State banks for that year under
HB1269 Enrolled -184- LRB9001000EGfg
1 paragraph (a) of subsection (3), plus all other amounts
2 collected by the Commissioner for that year under any
3 other provision of this Act, plus the aggregate of all
4 fees collected for that year by the Commissioner under
5 the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership
6 fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate
7 Fiduciary Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The
8 aggregate amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at
9 for any fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst,
10 assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign
11 banking corporations, respectively, in the same
12 proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
13 subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
14 aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
15 paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
16 the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be
17 assessed upon each State bank and foreign banking
18 corporation, respectively, shall be determined by the
19 Commissioner and shall be paid by each, respectively,
20 within 120 days of the close of the period for which the
21 contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
22 Commissioner shall give 20 days advance notice of the
23 amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
24 and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment of
25 the fee.
26 (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
27 year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses for
28 that year incident to making the examinations provided
29 for by, and for otherwise administering, this Act, the
30 Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the expenses paid from
31 the Corporate Fiduciary Receivership account in the Bank
32 and Trust Company Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act,
33 the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank
34 Examiners' Education Foundation Act, including all
HB1269 Enrolled -185- LRB9001000EGfg
1 salaries and other compensation paid for personal
2 services rendered for the State by officers or employees
3 of the State, including the Commissioner and the Deputy
4 Commissioners, all expenditures for telephone and
5 telegraph charges, postage and postal charges, office
6 stationery, supplies and services, and office furniture
7 and equipment, including typewriters and copying and
8 duplicating machines and filing equipment, surety bond
9 premiums, and travel expenses of those officers and
10 employees, employees, expenditures or charges for the
11 acquisition, enlargement or improvement of, or for the
12 use of, any office space, building, or structure, or
13 expenditures for the maintenance thereof or for
14 furnishing heat, light, or power with respect thereto,
15 all to the extent that those expenditures are directly
16 incidental to such examinations or administration. The
17 Commissioner shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or
18 (d-1) of this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal
19 year's budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation
20 and accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
21 employees of the Commissioner upon termination of their
22 service with the Commissioner in an amount that is more
23 than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary for any
24 anticipated turnover in employees, whether due to normal
25 attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
26 resignations.
27 (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
28 Commissioner under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
29 or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
30 1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
31 accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
32 State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
33 to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund", except
34 as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
HB1269 Enrolled -186- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Section. The amount from time to time deposited into the
2 Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used to offset the
3 ordinary administrative expenses of the Commissioner of
4 Banks and Real Estate as defined in this Section. Nothing
5 in this amendatory Act of 1979 shall prevent continuing
6 the practice of paying expenses involving salaries,
7 retirement, social security, and State-paid insurance
8 premiums of State officers by appropriations from the
9 General Revenue Fund. However, the General Revenue Fund
10 shall be reimbursed for those payments made on and after
11 July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of funds from the
12 Bank and Trust Company Fund.
13 (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
14 and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
15 administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
16 administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
17 fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
18 transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless
19 the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
20 transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total
21 initial appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company
22 Fund for the subsequent year, in which case the remainder
23 shall be credited to State banks and foreign banking
24 corporations and applied against their fees for the
25 subsequent year. The amount credited to each State bank
26 and foreign banking corporation shall be in the same
27 proportion as the Call Report Fees paid by each for the
28 year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected for the
29 year. If, after a transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve
30 Account is made or if no remainder is available for
31 transfer, the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account is
32 less than one-fourth of the total initial appropriations
33 for the subsequent year and the amount transferred is
34 less than 5% of the total Call Report Fees for the year,
HB1269 Enrolled -187- LRB9001000EGfg
1 additional amounts needed to make the transfer equal to
2 5% of the total Call Report Fees for the year shall be
3 apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State
4 banks and foreign banking corporations in the same
5 proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
6 respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
7 Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
8 assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
9 Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
10 calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner
11 shall exclude the receivership fees provided for in
12 Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
13 (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
14 any public record in his keeping and shall have authority
15 to levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of
16 any public record in his keeping.
17 (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
18 this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
19 review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
20 reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
21 approval, or service.
22 (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
23 limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
24 any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured
25 by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in
26 any way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
27 examinations and reports of that bank.
28 (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
29 investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for
30 officers or employees of every State bank or, after May 31,
31 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be
32 included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of an
33 out-of-state bank subject to examination by the Commissioner
34 under the provisions of subsection (2) of this Section, and
HB1269 Enrolled -188- LRB9001000EGfg
1 if the Commissioner shall find from an examination that the
2 condition of or operation of the investments or assets of the
3 plan is unlawful, fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee
4 has abused his trust, the Commissioner shall, if the
5 situation so found by the Commissioner shall not be corrected
6 to his satisfaction within 60 days after the Commissioner has
7 given notice to the board of directors of the State bank or
8 out-of-state bank of his findings, report the facts to the
9 Attorney General who shall thereupon institute proceedings
10 against the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of
11 directors thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the
12 nature of the case may require.
13 (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
14 (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
15 of administering the provisions of this Act.
16 (b) To issue orders for the purpose of
17 administering the provisions of this Act and any rule
18 promulgated in accordance with this Act.
19 (c) To appoint hearing officers to execute any of
20 the powers granted to the Commissioner under this Section
21 for the purpose of administering this Act and any rule
22 promulgated in accordance with this Act.
23 (d) To subpoena witnesses, to compel their
24 attendance, to administer an oath, to examine any person
25 under oath, and to require the production of any relevant
26 books, papers, accounts, and documents in the course of
27 and pursuant to any investigation being conducted, or any
28 action being taken, by the Commissioner in respect of any
29 matter relating to the duties imposed upon, or the powers
30 vested in, the Commissioner under the provisions of this
31 Act or any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act.

12 outpatient hospital care, home health services, treatment for
13 alcoholism and substance abuse, and other services determined
14 necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for delivery by
15 Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
16 obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse

27 negotiate financial incentives to encourage the
28 development of Partnerships and the efficient delivery of
29 medical care.

6 sponsors may prescribe reasonable additional qualifications
7 for participation by medical providers, only with the prior
8 written approval of the Illinois Department.
9 Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of
10 practitioners, hospitals, and other providers of medical
11 services by clients.

13 States Health Care Financing Administration to allow for the
14 implementation of Partnerships under this Section.

24 required to maintain and retain business and professional
25 records sufficient to fully and accurately document the
26 nature, scope, details and receipt of the health care
27 provided to persons eligible for medical assistance under

29 Illinois Department. The rules and regulations shall require
30 that proof of the receipt of prescription drugs, dentures,
31 prosthetic devices and eyeglasses by eligible persons under
32 this Section accompany each claim for reimbursement submitted
33 by the dispenser of such medical services. No such claims for
34 reimbursement shall be approved for payment by the Illinois
HB1269 Enrolled -233- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Department without such proof of receipt, unless the Illinois
2 Department shall have put into effect and shall be operating
3 a system of post-payment audit and review which shall, on a
4 sampling basis, be deemed adequate by the Illinois Department
5 to assure that such drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
6 eyeglasses for which payment is being made are actually being
7 received by eligible recipients. Within 90 days after the
8 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois
9 Department shall establish a current list of acquisition
10 costs for all prosthetic devices and any other items

5 existence of claims or liens for the Illinois Department.
6 The Illinois Department shall establish policies,
7 procedures, standards and criteria by rule for the
8 acquisition, repair and replacement of orthotic and

12 recipients without medical authorization; and (2) rental,
13 lease, purchase or lease-purchase of durable medical
14 equipment in a cost-effective manner, taking into
15 consideration the recipient's medical prognosis, the extent
16 of the recipient's needs, and the requirements and costs for
17 maintaining such equipment. Such rules shall enable a
18 recipient to temporarily acquire and use alternative or
19 substitute devices or equipment pending repairs or
20 replacements of any device or equipment previously authorized
21 for such recipient by the Department. Rules under clause (2)
22 above shall not provide for purchase or lease-purchase of
23 durable medical equipment or supplies used for the purpose of
24 oxygen delivery and respiratory care.
25 The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing
26 home prescreening project, written inter-agency agreements
27 with the Department of Human Services and the Department on
28 Aging, to effect the following: (i) intake procedures and
29 common eligibility criteria for those persons who are
30 receiving non-institutional services; and (ii) the
31 establishment and development of non-institutional services
32 in areas of the State where they are not currently available
33 or are undeveloped.
34 The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in
HB1269 Enrolled -235- LRB9001000EGfg
1 cooperation with other State Departments and agencies and in
2 compliance with applicable federal laws and regulations,
3 appropriate and effective systems of health care evaluation
4 and programs for monitoring of utilization of health care
5 services and facilities, as it affects persons eligible for
6 medical assistance under this Code. The Illinois Department
7 shall report regularly the results of the operation of such
8 systems and programs to the Citizens Assembly/Council on
9 Public Aid to enable the Committee to ensure, from time to
10 time, that these programs are effective and meaningful.
11 The Illinois Department shall report annually to the
12 General Assembly, no later than the second Friday in April of
13 1979 and each year thereafter, in regard to:
14 (a) actual statistics and trends in utilization of
15 medical services by public aid recipients;
16 (b) actual statistics and trends in the provision
17 of the various medical services by medical vendors;
18 (c) current rate structures and proposed changes in
19 those rate structures for the various medical vendors;
20 and
21 (d) efforts at utilization review and control by
22 the Illinois Department.
23 The period covered by each report shall be the 3 years
24 ending on the June 30 prior to the report. The report shall
25 include suggested legislation for consideration by the
26 General Assembly. The filing of one copy of the report with
27 the Speaker, one copy with the Minority Leader and one copy
28 with the Clerk of the House of Representatives, one copy with

6 Sec. 5-16.3. System for integrated health care services.
7 (a) It shall be the public policy of the State to adopt,
8 to the extent practicable, a health care program that
9 encourages the integration of health care services and
10 manages the health care of program enrollees while preserving
11 reasonable choice within a competitive and cost-efficient
12 environment. In furtherance of this public policy, the
13 Illinois Department shall develop and implement an integrated
14 health care program consistent with the provisions of this
15 Section. The provisions of this Section apply only to the
16 integrated health care program created under this Section.
17 Persons enrolled in the integrated health care program, as
18 determined by the Illinois Department by rule, shall be
19 afforded a choice among health care delivery systems, which
20 shall include, but are not limited to, (i) fee for service
21 care managed by a primary care physician licensed to practice
22 medicine in all its branches, (ii) managed health care
23 entities, and (iii) federally qualified health centers
24 (reimbursed according to a prospective cost-reimbursement
25 methodology) and rural health clinics (reimbursed according
26 to the Medicare methodology), where available. Persons
27 enrolled in the integrated health care program also may be
28 offered indemnity insurance plans, subject to availability.
29 For purposes of this Section, a "managed health care
30 entity" means a health maintenance organization or a managed
31 care community network as defined in this Section. A "health
32 maintenance organization" means a health maintenance
33 organization as defined in the Health Maintenance
HB1269 Enrolled -237- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Organization Act. A "managed care community network" means
2 an entity, other than a health maintenance organization, that
3 is owned, operated, or governed by providers of health care
4 services within this State and that provides or arranges
5 primary, secondary, and tertiary managed health care services
6 under contract with the Illinois Department exclusively to
7 enrollees of the integrated health care program. A managed
8 care community network may contract with the Illinois
9 Department to provide only pediatric health care services. A
10 county provider as defined in Section 15-1 of this Code may
11 contract with the Illinois Department to provide services to
12 enrollees of the integrated health care program as a managed
13 care community network without the need to establish a
14 separate entity that provides services exclusively to
15 enrollees of the integrated health care program and shall be
16 deemed a managed care community network for purposes of this
17 Code only to the extent of the provision of services to those
18 enrollees in conjunction with the integrated health care
19 program. A county provider shall be entitled to contract
20 with the Illinois Department with respect to any contracting
21 region located in whole or in part within the county. A
22 county provider shall not be required to accept enrollees who
23 do not reside within the county.
24 Each managed care community network must demonstrate its
25 ability to bear the financial risk of serving enrollees under
26 this program. The Illinois Department shall by rule adopt
27 criteria for assessing the financial soundness of each
28 managed care community network. These rules shall consider
29 the extent to which a managed care community network is
30 comprised of providers who directly render health care and
31 are located within the community in which they seek to
32 contract rather than solely arrange or finance the delivery
33 of health care. These rules shall further consider a variety
34 of risk-bearing and management techniques, including the
HB1269 Enrolled -238- LRB9001000EGfg
1 sufficiency of quality assurance and utilization management
2 programs and whether a managed care community network has
3 sufficiently demonstrated its financial solvency and net
4 worth. The Illinois Department's criteria must be based on
5 sound actuarial, financial, and accounting principles. In
6 adopting these rules, the Illinois Department shall consult
7 with the Illinois Department of Insurance. The Illinois
8 Department is responsible for monitoring compliance with
9 these rules.
10 This Section may not be implemented before the effective
11 date of these rules, the approval of any necessary federal
12 waivers, and the completion of the review of an application
13 submitted, at least 60 days before the effective date of
14 rules adopted under this Section, to the Illinois Department
15 by a managed care community network.
16 All health care delivery systems that contract with the
17 Illinois Department under the integrated health care program
18 shall clearly recognize a health care provider's right of
19 conscience under the Right of Conscience Act. In addition to
20 the provisions of that Act, no health care delivery system
21 that contracts with the Illinois Department under the
22 integrated health care program shall be required to provide,
23 arrange for, or pay for any health care or medical service,
24 procedure, or product if that health care delivery system is
25 owned, controlled, or sponsored by or affiliated with a
26 religious institution or religious organization that finds
27 that health care or medical service, procedure, or product to
28 violate its religious and moral teachings and beliefs.
29 (b) The Illinois Department may, by rule, provide for
30 different benefit packages for different categories of
31 persons enrolled in the program. Mental health services,
32 alcohol and substance abuse services, services related to
33 children with chronic or acute conditions requiring
34 longer-term treatment and follow-up, and rehabilitation care
HB1269 Enrolled -239- LRB9001000EGfg
1 provided by a free-standing rehabilitation hospital or a
2 hospital rehabilitation unit may be excluded from a benefit
3 package if the State ensures that those services are made
4 available through a separate delivery system. An exclusion
5 does not prohibit the Illinois Department from developing and
6 implementing demonstration projects for categories of persons
7 or services. Benefit packages for persons eligible for
8 medical assistance under Articles V, VI, and XII shall be
9 based on the requirements of those Articles and shall be
10 consistent with the Title XIX of the Social Security Act.
11 Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to services
12 purchased by the Department of Children and Family Services
13 and the Department of Human Services (as successor to the
14 Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities)
15 under the provisions of Title 59 of the Illinois
16 Administrative Code, Part 132 ("Medicaid Community Mental
17 Health Services Program").
18 (c) The program established by this Section may be
19 implemented by the Illinois Department in various contracting
20 areas at various times. The health care delivery systems and
21 providers available under the program may vary throughout the
22 State. For purposes of contracting with managed health care
23 entities and providers, the Illinois Department shall
24 establish contracting areas similar to the geographic areas
25 designated by the Illinois Department for contracting
26 purposes under the Illinois Competitive Access and
27 Reimbursement Equity Program (ICARE) under the authority of
28 Section 3-4 of the Illinois Health Finance Reform Act or
29 similarly-sized or smaller geographic areas established by
30 the Illinois Department by rule. A managed health care entity
31 shall be permitted to contract in any geographic areas for
32 which it has a sufficient provider network and otherwise
33 meets the contracting terms of the State. The Illinois
34 Department is not prohibited from entering into a contract
HB1269 Enrolled -240- LRB9001000EGfg
1 with a managed health care entity at any time.
2 (d) A managed health care entity that contracts with the
3 Illinois Department for the provision of services under the
4 program shall do all of the following, solely for purposes of
5 the integrated health care program:
6 (1) Provide that any individual physician licensed
7 to practice medicine in all its branches, any pharmacy,
8 any federally qualified health center, and any
9 podiatrist, that consistently meets the reasonable terms
10 and conditions established by the managed health care
11 entity, including but not limited to credentialing
12 standards, quality assurance program requirements,
13 utilization management requirements, financial
14 responsibility standards, contracting process
15 requirements, and provider network size and accessibility
16 requirements, must be accepted by the managed health care
17 entity for purposes of the Illinois integrated health
18 care program. Any individual who is either terminated
19 from or denied inclusion in the panel of physicians of
20 the managed health care entity shall be given, within 10
21 business days after that determination, a written
22 explanation of the reasons for his or her exclusion or
23 termination from the panel. This paragraph (1) does not
24 apply to the following:
25 (A) A managed health care entity that
26 certifies to the Illinois Department that:
27 (i) it employs on a full-time basis 125
28 or more Illinois physicians licensed to
29 practice medicine in all of its branches; and
30 (ii) it will provide medical services
31 through its employees to more than 80% of the
32 recipients enrolled with the entity in the
33 integrated health care program; or
34 (B) A domestic stock insurance company
HB1269 Enrolled -241- LRB9001000EGfg
1 licensed under clause (b) of class 1 of Section 4 of
2 the Illinois Insurance Code if (i) at least 66% of
3 the stock of the insurance company is owned by a
4 professional corporation organized under the
5 Professional Service Corporation Act that has 125 or
6 more shareholders who are Illinois physicians
7 licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches
8 and (ii) the insurance company certifies to the
9 Illinois Department that at least 80% of those
10 physician shareholders will provide services to
11 recipients enrolled with the company in the
12 integrated health care program.
13 (2) Provide for reimbursement for providers for
14 emergency care, as defined by the Illinois Department by
15 rule, that must be provided to its enrollees, including
16 an emergency room screening fee, and urgent care that it
17 authorizes for its enrollees, regardless of the
18 provider's affiliation with the managed health care
19 entity. Providers shall be reimbursed for emergency care
20 at an amount equal to the Illinois Department's
21 fee-for-service rates for those medical services rendered
22 by providers not under contract with the managed health
23 care entity to enrollees of the entity.
24 (3) Provide that any provider affiliated with a
25 managed health care entity may also provide services on a
26 fee-for-service basis to Illinois Department clients not
27 enrolled in a managed health care entity.
28 (4) Provide client education services as determined
29 and approved by the Illinois Department, including but
30 not limited to (i) education regarding appropriate
31 utilization of health care services in a managed care
32 system, (ii) written disclosure of treatment policies and
33 any restrictions or limitations on health services,
34 including, but not limited to, physical services,
HB1269 Enrolled -242- LRB9001000EGfg
1 clinical laboratory tests, hospital and surgical
2 procedures, prescription drugs and biologics, and
3 radiological examinations, and (iii) written notice that
4 the enrollee may receive from another provider those
5 services covered under this program that are not provided
6 by the managed health care entity.
7 (5) Provide that enrollees within its system may
8 choose the site for provision of services and the panel
9 of health care providers.
10 (6) Not discriminate in its enrollment or
11 disenrollment practices among recipients of medical
12 services or program enrollees based on health status.
13 (7) Provide a quality assurance and utilization
14 review program that (i) for health maintenance
15 organizations meets the requirements of the Health
16 Maintenance Organization Act and (ii) for managed care
17 community networks meets the requirements established by
18 the Illinois Department in rules that incorporate those
19 standards set forth in the Health Maintenance
20 Organization Act.
21 (8) Issue a managed health care entity
22 identification card to each enrollee upon enrollment.
23 The card must contain all of the following:
24 (A) The enrollee's signature.
25 (B) The enrollee's health plan.
26 (C) The name and telephone number of the
27 enrollee's primary care physician.
28 (D) A telephone number to be used for
29 emergency service 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
30 The telephone number required to be maintained
31 pursuant to this subparagraph by each managed health
32 care entity shall, at minimum, be staffed by
33 medically trained personnel and be provided
34 directly, or under arrangement, at an office or
HB1269 Enrolled -243- LRB9001000EGfg
1 offices in locations maintained solely within the
2 State of Illinois. For purposes of this
3 subparagraph, "medically trained personnel" means
4 licensed practical nurses or registered nurses
5 located in the State of Illinois who are licensed
6 pursuant to the Illinois Nursing Act of 1987.
7 (9) Ensure that every primary care physician and
8 pharmacy in the managed health care entity meets the
9 standards established by the Illinois Department for
10 accessibility and quality of care. The Illinois
11 Department shall arrange for and oversee an evaluation of
12 the standards established under this paragraph (9) and
13 may recommend any necessary changes to these standards.
14 The Illinois Department shall submit an annual report to
15 the Governor and the General Assembly by April 1 of each
16 year regarding the effect of the standards on ensuring
17 access and quality of care to enrollees.
18 (10) Provide a procedure for handling complaints
19 that (i) for health maintenance organizations meets the
20 requirements of the Health Maintenance Organization Act
21 and (ii) for managed care community networks meets the
22 requirements established by the Illinois Department in
23 rules that incorporate those standards set forth in the
24 Health Maintenance Organization Act.
25 (11) Maintain, retain, and make available to the
26 Illinois Department records, data, and information, in a
27 uniform manner determined by the Illinois Department,
28 sufficient for the Illinois Department to monitor
29 utilization, accessibility, and quality of care.
30 (12) Except for providers who are prepaid, pay all
31 approved claims for covered services that are completed
32 and submitted to the managed health care entity within 30
33 days after receipt of the claim or receipt of the
34 appropriate capitation payment or payments by the managed
HB1269 Enrolled -244- LRB9001000EGfg
1 health care entity from the State for the month in which
2 the services included on the claim were rendered,
3 whichever is later. If payment is not made or mailed to
4 the provider by the managed health care entity by the due
5 date under this subsection, an interest penalty of 1% of
6 any amount unpaid shall be added for each month or
7 fraction of a month after the due date, until final
8 payment is made. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit
9 managed health care entities and providers from mutually
10 agreeing to terms that require more timely payment.
11 (13) Provide integration with community-based
12 programs provided by certified local health departments
13 such as Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental Food
14 Program (WIC), childhood immunization programs, health
15 education programs, case management programs, and health

17 (14) Provide that the pharmacy formulary used by a
18 managed health care entity and its contract providers be
19 no more restrictive than the Illinois Department's
20 pharmaceutical program on the effective date of this
21 amendatory Act of 1994 and as amended after that date.
22 (15) Provide integration with community-based
23 organizations, including, but not limited to, any
24 organization that has operated within a Medicaid
25 Partnership as defined by this Code or by rule of the
26 Illinois Department, that may continue to operate under a
27 contract with the Illinois Department or a managed health
28 care entity under this Section to provide case management
29 services to Medicaid clients in designated high-need
30 areas.
31 The Illinois Department may, by rule, determine
32 methodologies to limit financial liability for managed health
33 care entities resulting from payment for services to
34 enrollees provided under the Illinois Department's integrated
HB1269 Enrolled -245- LRB9001000EGfg
1 health care program. Any methodology so determined may be
2 considered or implemented by the Illinois Department through
3 a contract with a managed health care entity under this
4 integrated health care program.
5 The Illinois Department shall contract with an entity or
6 entities to provide external peer-based quality assurance
7 review for the integrated health care program. The entity
8 shall be representative of Illinois physicians licensed to
9 practice medicine in all its branches and have statewide
10 geographic representation in all specialties of medical care
11 that are provided within the integrated health care program.
12 The entity may not be a third party payer and shall maintain
13 offices in locations around the State in order to provide
14 service and continuing medical education to physician
15 participants within the integrated health care program. The
16 review process shall be developed and conducted by Illinois
17 physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches.
18 In consultation with the entity, the Illinois Department may
19 contract with other entities for professional peer-based
20 quality assurance review of individual categories of services
21 other than services provided, supervised, or coordinated by
22 physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches.
23 The Illinois Department shall establish, by rule, criteria to
24 avoid conflicts of interest in the conduct of quality
25 assurance activities consistent with professional peer-review
26 standards. All quality assurance activities shall be
27 coordinated by the Illinois Department.
28 (e) All persons enrolled in the program shall be
29 provided with a full written explanation of all
30 fee-for-service and managed health care plan options and a
31 reasonable opportunity to choose among the options as
32 provided by rule. The Illinois Department shall provide to
33 enrollees, upon enrollment in the integrated health care
34 program and at least annually thereafter, notice of the
HB1269 Enrolled -246- LRB9001000EGfg
1 process for requesting an appeal under the Illinois
2 Department's administrative appeal procedures.
3 Notwithstanding any other Section of this Code, the Illinois
4 Department may provide by rule for the Illinois Department to
5 assign a person enrolled in the program to a specific
6 provider of medical services or to a specific health care
7 delivery system if an enrollee has failed to exercise choice
8 in a timely manner. An enrollee assigned by the Illinois
9 Department shall be afforded the opportunity to disenroll and
10 to select a specific provider of medical services or a
11 specific health care delivery system within the first 30 days
12 after the assignment. An enrollee who has failed to exercise
13 choice in a timely manner may be assigned only if there are 3
14 or more managed health care entities contracting with the
15 Illinois Department within the contracting area, except that,
16 outside the City of Chicago, this requirement may be waived
17 for an area by rules adopted by the Illinois Department after
18 consultation with all hospitals within the contracting area.
19 The Illinois Department shall establish by rule the procedure
20 for random assignment of enrollees who fail to exercise
21 choice in a timely manner to a specific managed health care
22 entity in proportion to the available capacity of that
23 managed health care entity. Assignment to a specific provider
24 of medical services or to a specific managed health care
25 entity may not exceed that provider's or entity's capacity as
26 determined by the Illinois Department. Any person who has
27 chosen a specific provider of medical services or a specific
28 managed health care entity, or any person who has been
29 assigned under this subsection, shall be given the
30 opportunity to change that choice or assignment at least once
31 every 12 months, as determined by the Illinois Department by
32 rule. The Illinois Department shall maintain a toll-free
33 telephone number for program enrollees' use in reporting
34 problems with managed health care entities.
HB1269 Enrolled -247- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (f) If a person becomes eligible for participation in
2 the integrated health care program while he or she is
3 hospitalized, the Illinois Department may not enroll that
4 person in the program until after he or she has been
5 discharged from the hospital. This subsection does not apply
6 to newborn infants whose mothers are enrolled in the
7 integrated health care program.
8 (g) The Illinois Department shall, by rule, establish
9 for managed health care entities rates that (i) are certified
10 to be actuarially sound, as determined by an actuary who is
11 an associate or a fellow of the Society of Actuaries or a
12 member of the American Academy of Actuaries and who has
13 expertise and experience in medical insurance and benefit
14 programs, in accordance with the Illinois Department's
15 current fee-for-service payment system, and (ii) take into
16 account any difference of cost to provide health care to
17 different populations based on gender, age, location, and
18 eligibility category. The rates for managed health care
19 entities shall be determined on a capitated basis.
20 The Illinois Department by rule shall establish a method
21 to adjust its payments to managed health care entities in a
22 manner intended to avoid providing any financial incentive to
23 a managed health care entity to refer patients to a county
24 provider, in an Illinois county having a population greater
25 than 3,000,000, that is paid directly by the Illinois
26 Department. The Illinois Department shall by April 1, 1997,
27 and annually thereafter, review the method to adjust
28 payments. Payments by the Illinois Department to the county
29 provider, for persons not enrolled in a managed care
30 community network owned or operated by a county provider,
31 shall be paid on a fee-for-service basis under Article XV of
32 this Code.
33 The Illinois Department by rule shall establish a method
34 to reduce its payments to managed health care entities to
HB1269 Enrolled -248- LRB9001000EGfg
1 take into consideration (i) any adjustment payments paid to
2 hospitals under subsection (h) of this Section to the extent
3 those payments, or any part of those payments, have been
4 taken into account in establishing capitated rates under this
5 subsection (g) and (ii) the implementation of methodologies
6 to limit financial liability for managed health care entities
7 under subsection (d) of this Section.
8 (h) For hospital services provided by a hospital that
9 contracts with a managed health care entity, adjustment
10 payments shall be paid directly to the hospital by the
11 Illinois Department. Adjustment payments may include but
12 need not be limited to adjustment payments to:
13 disproportionate share hospitals under Section 5-5.02 of this
14 Code; primary care access health care education payments (89
15 Ill. Adm. Code 149.140); payments for capital, direct medical
16 education, indirect medical education, certified registered
17 nurse anesthetist, and kidney acquisition costs (89 Ill. Adm.
18 Code 149.150(c)); uncompensated care payments (89 Ill. Adm.
19 Code 148.150(h)); trauma center payments (89 Ill. Adm. Code
20 148.290(c)); rehabilitation hospital payments (89 Ill. Adm.
21 Code 148.290(d)); perinatal center payments (89 Ill. Adm.
22 Code 148.290(e)); obstetrical care payments (89 Ill. Adm.
23 Code 148.290(f)); targeted access payments (89 Ill. Adm. Code
24 148.290(g)); Medicaid high volume payments (89 Ill. Adm. Code
25 148.290(h)); and outpatient indigent volume adjustments (89
26 Ill. Adm. Code 148.140(b)(5)).
27 (i) For any hospital eligible for the adjustment
28 payments described in subsection (h), the Illinois Department
29 shall maintain, through the period ending June 30, 1995,
30 reimbursement levels in accordance with statutes and rules in
31 effect on April 1, 1994.
32 (j) Nothing contained in this Code in any way limits or
33 otherwise impairs the authority or power of the Illinois
34 Department to enter into a negotiated contract pursuant to
HB1269 Enrolled -249- LRB9001000EGfg
1 this Section with a managed health care entity, including,
2 but not limited to, a health maintenance organization, that
3 provides for termination or nonrenewal of the contract
4 without cause upon notice as provided in the contract and
5 without a hearing.
6 (k) Section 5-5.15 does not apply to the program
7 developed and implemented pursuant to this Section.
8 (l) The Illinois Department shall, by rule, define those
9 chronic or acute medical conditions of childhood that require
10 longer-term treatment and follow-up care. The Illinois
11 Department shall ensure that services required to treat these
12 conditions are available through a separate delivery system.
13 A managed health care entity that contracts with the
14 Illinois Department may refer a child with medical conditions
15 described in the rules adopted under this subsection directly
16 to a children's hospital or to a hospital, other than a
17 children's hospital, that is qualified to provide inpatient
18 and outpatient services to treat those conditions. The
19 Illinois Department shall provide fee-for-service
20 reimbursement directly to a children's hospital for those
21 services pursuant to Title 89 of the Illinois Administrative
22 Code, Section 148.280(a), at a rate at least equal to the
23 rate in effect on March 31, 1994. For hospitals, other than
24 children's hospitals, that are qualified to provide inpatient
25 and outpatient services to treat those conditions, the
26 Illinois Department shall provide reimbursement for those
27 services on a fee-for-service basis, at a rate at least equal
28 to the rate in effect for those other hospitals on March 31,
29 1994.
30 A children's hospital shall be directly reimbursed for
31 all services provided at the children's hospital on a
32 fee-for-service basis pursuant to Title 89 of the Illinois
33 Administrative Code, Section 148.280(a), at a rate at least
34 equal to the rate in effect on March 31, 1994, until the
HB1269 Enrolled -250- LRB9001000EGfg
1 later of (i) implementation of the integrated health care
2 program under this Section and development of actuarially
3 sound capitation rates for services other than those chronic
4 or acute medical conditions of childhood that require
5 longer-term treatment and follow-up care as defined by the
6 Illinois Department in the rules adopted under this
7 subsection or (ii) March 31, 1996.
8 Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the
9 contrary, a managed health care entity shall not consider
10 sources or methods of payment in determining the referral of
11 a child. The Illinois Department shall adopt rules to
12 establish criteria for those referrals. The Illinois
13 Department by rule shall establish a method to adjust its
14 payments to managed health care entities in a manner intended
15 to avoid providing any financial incentive to a managed
16 health care entity to refer patients to a provider who is
17 paid directly by the Illinois Department.
18 (m) Behavioral health services provided or funded by the
19 Department of Human Services, the Department of Children and
20 Family Services, and the Illinois Department shall be
21 excluded from a benefit package. Conditions of an organic or
22 physical origin or nature, including medical detoxification,
23 however, may not be excluded. In this subsection,
24 "behavioral health services" means mental health services and
25 subacute alcohol and substance abuse treatment services, as
26 defined in the Illinois Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency
27 Act. In this subsection, "mental health services" includes,
28 at a minimum, the following services funded by the Illinois
29 Department, the Department of Human Services (as successor to
30 the Department of Mental Health and Developmental
31 Disabilities), or the Department of Children and Family
32 Services: (i) inpatient hospital services, including related
33 physician services, related psychiatric interventions, and
34 pharmaceutical services provided to an eligible recipient
HB1269 Enrolled -251- LRB9001000EGfg
1 hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of psychiatric
2 disorder; (ii) outpatient mental health services as defined
3 and specified in Title 59 of the Illinois Administrative
4 Code, Part 132; (iii) any other outpatient mental health
5 services funded by the Illinois Department pursuant to the
6 State of Illinois Medicaid Plan; (iv) partial
7 hospitalization; and (v) follow-up stabilization related to
8 any of those services. Additional behavioral health services
9 may be excluded under this subsection as mutually agreed in
10 writing by the Illinois Department and the affected State
11 agency or agencies. The exclusion of any service does not
12 prohibit the Illinois Department from developing and
13 implementing demonstration projects for categories of persons
14 or services. The Department of Children and Family Services
15 and the Department of Human Services shall each adopt rules
16 governing the integration of managed care in the provision of
17 behavioral health services. The State shall integrate managed
18 care community networks and affiliated providers, to the
19 extent practicable, in any separate delivery system for
20 mental health services.
21 (n) The Illinois Department shall adopt rules to
22 establish reserve requirements for managed care community
23 networks, as required by subsection (a), and health
24 maintenance organizations to protect against liabilities in
25 the event that a managed health care entity is declared
26 insolvent or bankrupt. If a managed health care entity other
27 than a county provider is declared insolvent or bankrupt,
28 after liquidation and application of any available assets,
29 resources, and reserves, the Illinois Department shall pay a
30 portion of the amounts owed by the managed health care entity
31 to providers for services rendered to enrollees under the
32 integrated health care program under this Section based on
33 the following schedule: (i) from April 1, 1995 through June
34 30, 1998, 90% of the amounts owed; (ii) from July 1, 1998
HB1269 Enrolled -252- LRB9001000EGfg
1 through June 30, 2001, 80% of the amounts owed; and (iii)
2 from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2005, 75% of the amounts
3 owed. The amounts paid under this subsection shall be
4 calculated based on the total amount owed by the managed
5 health care entity to providers before application of any
6 available assets, resources, and reserves. After June 30,
7 2005, the Illinois Department may not pay any amounts owed to
8 providers as a result of an insolvency or bankruptcy of a
9 managed health care entity occurring after that date. The
10 Illinois Department is not obligated, however, to pay amounts
11 owed to a provider that has an ownership or other governing
12 interest in the managed health care entity. This subsection
13 applies only to managed health care entities and the services
14 they provide under the integrated health care program under
15 this Section.
16 (o) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or
17 contractual agreement to the contrary, providers shall not be
18 required to accept from any other third party payer the rates
19 determined or paid under this Code by the Illinois
20 Department, managed health care entity, or other health care
21 delivery system for services provided to recipients.
22 (p) The Illinois Department may seek and obtain any
23 necessary authorization provided under federal law to
24 implement the program, including the waiver of any federal
25 statutes or regulations. The Illinois Department may seek a
26 waiver of the federal requirement that the combined
27 membership of Medicare and Medicaid enrollees in a managed
28 care community network may not exceed 75% of the managed care
29 community network's total enrollment. The Illinois
30 Department shall not seek a waiver of this requirement for
31 any other category of managed health care entity. The
32 Illinois Department shall not seek a waiver of the inpatient
33 hospital reimbursement methodology in Section 1902(a)(13)(A)
34 of Title XIX of the Social Security Act even if the federal
HB1269 Enrolled -253- LRB9001000EGfg
1 agency responsible for administering Title XIX determines
2 that Section 1902(a)(13)(A) applies to managed health care
3 systems.
4 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code to the
5 contrary, the Illinois Department shall seek a waiver of
6 applicable federal law in order to impose a co-payment system
7 consistent with this subsection on recipients of medical
8 services under Title XIX of the Social Security Act who are
9 not enrolled in a managed health care entity. The waiver
10 request submitted by the Illinois Department shall provide
11 for co-payments of up to $0.50 for prescribed drugs and up to
12 $0.50 for x-ray services and shall provide for co-payments of
13 up to $10 for non-emergency services provided in a hospital
14 emergency room and up to $10 for non-emergency ambulance
15 services. The purpose of the co-payments shall be to deter
16 those recipients from seeking unnecessary medical care.
17 Co-payments may not be used to deter recipients from seeking
18 necessary medical care. No recipient shall be required to
19 pay more than a total of $150 per year in co-payments under
20 the waiver request required by this subsection. A recipient
21 may not be required to pay more than $15 of any amount due
22 under this subsection in any one month.
23 Co-payments authorized under this subsection may not be
24 imposed when the care was necessitated by a true medical
25 emergency. Co-payments may not be imposed for any of the
26 following classifications of services:
27 (1) Services furnished to person under 18 years of
28 age.
29 (2) Services furnished to pregnant women.
30 (3) Services furnished to any individual who is an
31 inpatient in a hospital, nursing facility, intermediate
32 care facility, or other medical institution, if that
33 person is required to spend for costs of medical care all
34 but a minimal amount of his or her income required for
HB1269 Enrolled -254- LRB9001000EGfg
1 personal needs.
2 (4) Services furnished to a person who is receiving
3 hospice care.
4 Co-payments authorized under this subsection shall not be
5 deducted from or reduce in any way payments for medical
6 services from the Illinois Department to providers. No
7 provider may deny those services to an individual eligible
8 for services based on the individual's inability to pay the
9 co-payment.
10 Recipients who are subject to co-payments shall be
11 provided notice, in plain and clear language, of the amount
12 of the co-payments, the circumstances under which co-payments
13 are exempted, the circumstances under which co-payments may
14 be assessed, and their manner of collection.
15 The Illinois Department shall establish a Medicaid
16 Co-Payment Council to assist in the development of co-payment
17 policies for the medical assistance program. The Medicaid
18 Co-Payment Council shall also have jurisdiction to develop a
19 program to provide financial or non-financial incentives to
20 Medicaid recipients in order to encourage recipients to seek
21 necessary health care. The Council shall be chaired by the
22 Director of the Illinois Department, and shall have 6
23 additional members. Two of the 6 additional members shall be
24 appointed by the Governor, and one each shall be appointed by
25 the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the
26 Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the
27 Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. The Council
28 may be convened and make recommendations upon the appointment
29 of a majority of its members. The Council shall be appointed
30 and convened no later than September 1, 1994 and shall report
31 its recommendations to the Director of the Illinois
32 Department and the General Assembly no later than October 1,
33 1994. The chairperson of the Council shall be allowed to
34 vote only in the case of a tie vote among the appointed
HB1269 Enrolled -255- LRB9001000EGfg
1 members of the Council.
2 The Council shall be guided by the following principles
3 as it considers recommendations to be developed to implement
4 any approved waivers that the Illinois Department must seek
5 pursuant to this subsection:
6 (1) Co-payments should not be used to deter access
7 to adequate medical care.
8 (2) Co-payments should be used to reduce fraud.
9 (3) Co-payment policies should be examined in
10 consideration of other states' experience, and the
11 ability of successful co-payment plans to control
12 unnecessary or inappropriate utilization of services
13 should be promoted.
14 (4) All participants, both recipients and
15 providers, in the medical assistance program have
16 responsibilities to both the State and the program.
17 (5) Co-payments are primarily a tool to educate the
18 participants in the responsible use of health care
19 resources.
20 (6) Co-payments should not be used to penalize
21 providers.
22 (7) A successful medical program requires the
23 elimination of improper utilization of medical resources.
24 The integrated health care program, or any part of that
25 program, established under this Section may not be
26 implemented if matching federal funds under Title XIX of the
27 Social Security Act are not available for administering the
28 program.
29 The Illinois Department shall submit for publication in
30 the Illinois Register the name, address, and telephone number
31 of the individual to whom a request may be directed for a
32 copy of the request for a waiver of provisions of Title XIX
33 of the Social Security Act that the Illinois Department
34 intends to submit to the Health Care Financing Administration
HB1269 Enrolled -256- LRB9001000EGfg
1 in order to implement this Section. The Illinois Department
2 shall mail a copy of that request for waiver to all
3 requestors at least 16 days before filing that request for
4 waiver with the Health Care Financing Administration.
5 (q) After the effective date of this Section, the
6 Illinois Department may take all planning and preparatory
7 action necessary to implement this Section, including, but
8 not limited to, seeking requests for proposals relating to
9 the integrated health care program created under this
10 Section.
11 (r) In order to (i) accelerate and facilitate the
12 development of integrated health care in contracting areas
13 outside counties with populations in excess of 3,000,000 and
14 counties adjacent to those counties and (ii) maintain and
15 sustain the high quality of education and residency programs
16 coordinated and associated with local area hospitals, the
17 Illinois Department may develop and implement a demonstration
18 program for managed care community networks owned, operated,
19 or governed by State-funded medical schools. The Illinois
20 Department shall prescribe by rule the criteria, standards,
21 and procedures for effecting this demonstration program.
22 (s) (Blank).
23 (t) On April 1, 1995 and every 6 months thereafter, the
24 Illinois Department shall report to the Governor and General
25 Assembly on the progress of the integrated health care
26 program in enrolling clients into managed health care
27 entities. The report shall indicate the capacities of the
28 managed health care entities with which the State contracts,
29 the number of clients enrolled by each contractor, the areas
30 of the State in which managed care options do not exist, and
31 the progress toward meeting the enrollment goals of the
32 integrated health care program.
33 (u) The Illinois Department may implement this Section
34 through the use of emergency rules in accordance with Section
HB1269 Enrolled -257- LRB9001000EGfg
1 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. For
2 purposes of that Act, the adoption of rules to implement this
3 Section is deemed an emergency and necessary for the public
4 interest, safety, and welfare.

9 protection of applicants and recipients, the Illinois
10 Department, the county departments and local governmental
11 units and their respective officers and employees are
12 prohibited, except as hereinafter provided, from disclosing
13 the contents of any records, files, papers and
14 communications, except for purposes directly connected with
15 the administration of public aid under this Code.
16 In any judicial proceeding, except a proceeding directly
17 concerned with the administration of programs provided for in
18 this Code, such records, files, papers and communications,
19 and their contents shall be deemed privileged communications
20 and shall be disclosed only upon the order of the court,
21 where the court finds such to be necessary in the interest of
22 justice.
23 The Illinois Department shall establish and enforce
24 reasonable rules and regulations governing the custody, use
25 and preservation of the records, papers, files, and
26 communications of the Illinois Department, the county
27 departments and local governmental units receiving State or
28 Federal funds or aid. The governing body of other local
29 governmental units shall in like manner establish and enforce
30 rules and regulations governing the same matters.
31 The contents of case files pertaining to recipients under
32 Articles VI and VII shall be made available without subpoena
33 or formal notice to the officers of any court, to all law
HB1269 Enrolled -258- LRB9001000EGfg
1 enforcing agencies, and to such other persons or agencies as
2 from time to time may be authorized by any court. In
3 particular, the contents of those case files shall be made
4 available upon request to a law enforcement agency for the
5 purpose of determining the current address of a recipient
6 with respect to whom an arrest warrant is outstanding.
7 Information shall also be disclosed to the Illinois State
8 Scholarship Commission pursuant to an investigation or audit
9 by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission of a delinquent
10 student loan or monetary award.
11 This Section does not prevent the Illinois Department and
12 local governmental units from reporting to appropriate law
13 enforcement officials the desertion or abandonment by a
14 parent of a child, as a result of which financial aid has
15 been necessitated under Articles IV, V, VI, or VII, or
16 reporting to appropriate law enforcement officials instances
17 in which a mother under age 18 has a child out of wedlock and
18 is an applicant for or recipient of aid under any Article of
19 this Code. The Illinois Department may provide by rule for
20 the county departments and local governmental units to
21 initiate proceedings under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to
22 have children declared to be neglected when they deem such
23 action necessary to protect the children from immoral
24 influences present in their home or surroundings.
25 This Section does not preclude the full exercise of the
26 powers of the Board of Public Aid Commissioners to inspect
27 records and documents, as provided for all advisory boards
28 pursuant to Section 8 of "The Civil Administrative Code of
29 Illinois", approved March 7, 1917, as amended.
30 This Section does not preclude exchanges of information
31 among the Illinois Department of Public Aid, the Department
32 of Human Services (as successor to the Department of Public
33 Aid), and the Illinois Department of Revenue for the purpose
34 of verifying sources and amounts of income and for other
HB1269 Enrolled -259- LRB9001000EGfg
1 purposes directly connected with the administration of this
2 Code and of the Illinois Income Tax Act.
3 The provisions of this Section and of Section 11-11 as
4 they apply to applicants and recipients of public aid under
5 Articles III, IV and V shall be operative only to the extent
6 that they do not conflict with any Federal law or regulation
7 governing Federal grants to this State for such programs.
8 The Illinois Department of Public Aid and the Department
9 of Human Services (as successor to the Illinois Department of
10 Public Aid) shall enter into an inter-agency agreement with
11 the Department of Children and Family Services to establish a
12 procedure by which employees of the Department of Children
13 and Family Services may have immediate access to records,
14 files, papers, and communications (except medical, alcohol or
15 drug assessment or treatment, mental health, or any other
16 medical records) of the Illinois Department, county
17 departments, and local governmental units receiving State or
18 federal funds or aid, if the Department of Children and
19 Family Services determines the information is necessary to
20 perform its duties under the Abused and Neglected Child
21 Reporting Act, the Child Care Act of 1969, and the Children

26 Sec. 14-8. Disbursements to Hospitals.
27 (a) For inpatient hospital services rendered on and
28 after September 1, 1991, the Illinois Department shall
29 reimburse hospitals for inpatient services at an inpatient
30 payment rate calculated for each hospital based upon the
31 Medicare Prospective Payment System as set forth in Sections
32 1886(b), (d), (g), and (h) of the federal Social Security
33 Act, and the regulations, policies, and procedures
HB1269 Enrolled -260- LRB9001000EGfg
1 promulgated thereunder, except as modified by this Section.
2 Payment rates for inpatient hospital services rendered on or
3 after September 1, 1991 and on or before September 30, 1992
4 shall be calculated using the Medicare Prospective Payment
5 rates in effect on September 1, 1991. Payment rates for
6 inpatient hospital services rendered on or after October 1,
7 1992 and on or before March 31, 1994 shall be calculated
8 using the Medicare Prospective Payment rates in effect on
9 September 1, 1992. Payment rates for inpatient hospital
10 services rendered on or after April 1, 1994 shall be
11 calculated using the Medicare Prospective Payment rates
12 (including the Medicare grouping methodology and weighting
13 factors as adjusted pursuant to paragraph (1) of this
14 subsection) in effect 90 days prior to the date of
15 admission. For services rendered on or after July 1, 1995,
16 the reimbursement methodology implemented under this
17 subsection shall not include those costs referred to in
18 Sections 1886(d)(5)(B) and 1886(h) of the Social Security
19 Act. The additional payment amounts required under Section
20 1886(d)(5)(F) of the Social Security Act, for hospitals
21 serving a disproportionate share of low-income or indigent
22 patients, are not required under this Section. For hospital
23 inpatient services rendered on or after July 1, 1995 and
24 before July 1, 1997, the Illinois Department shall reimburse
25 hospitals using the relative weighting factors and the base
26 payment rates calculated for each hospital that were in
27 effect on June 30, 1995, less the portion of such rates
28 attributed by the Illinois Department to the cost of medical
29 education.
30 (1) The weighting factors established under Section
31 1886(d)(4) of the Social Security Act shall not be used
32 in the reimbursement system established under this
33 Section. Rather, the Illinois Department shall establish
34 by rule Medicaid weighting factors to be used in the
HB1269 Enrolled -261- LRB9001000EGfg
1 reimbursement system established under this Section.
2 (2) The Illinois Department shall define by rule
3 those hospitals or distinct parts of hospitals that shall
4 be exempt from the reimbursement system established under
5 this Section. In defining such hospitals, the Illinois
6 Department shall take into consideration those hospitals
7 exempt from the Medicare Prospective Payment System as of
8 September 1, 1991. For hospitals defined as exempt under
9 this subsection, the Illinois Department shall by rule
10 establish a reimbursement system for payment of inpatient
11 hospital services rendered on and after September 1,
12 1991. For all hospitals that are children's hospitals as
13 defined in Section 5-5.02 of this Code, the reimbursement
14 methodology shall, through June 30, 1992, net of all
15 applicable fees, at least equal each children's hospital
16 1990 ICARE payment rates, indexed to the current year by
17 application of the DRI hospital cost index from 1989 to
18 the year in which payments are made. Excepting county
19 providers as defined in Article XV of this Code,
20 hospitals licensed under the University of Illinois
21 Hospital Act, and facilities operated by the Department
22 of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (or its
23 successor, the Department of Human Services) for hospital
24 inpatient services rendered on or after July 1, 1995 and
25 before July 1, 1997, the Illinois Department shall
26 reimburse children's hospitals, as defined in 89 Illinois
27 Administrative Code Section 149.50(c)(3), at the rates in
28 effect on June 30, 1995, and shall reimburse all other
29 hospitals at the rates in effect on June 30, 1995, less
30 the portion of such rates attributed by the Illinois
31 Department to the cost of medical education.
32 (3) (Blank)
33 (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
34 Section, hospitals that on August 31, 1991, have a
HB1269 Enrolled -262- LRB9001000EGfg
1 contract with the Illinois Department under Section 3-4
2 of the Illinois Health Finance Reform Act may elect to
3 continue to be reimbursed at rates stated in such
4 contracts for general and specialty care.
5 (5) In addition to any payments made under this
6 subsection (a), the Illinois Department shall make the
7 adjustment payments required by Section 5-5.02 of this
8 Code; provided, that in the case of any hospital
9 reimbursed under a per case methodology, the Illinois
10 Department shall add an amount equal to the product of
11 the hospital's average length of stay, less one day,
12 multiplied by 20, for inpatient hospital services
13 rendered on or after September 1, 1991 and on or before
14 September 30, 1992.
15 (b) (Blank)
16 (b-5) Excepting county providers as defined in Article
17 XV of this Code, hospitals licensed under the University of
18 Illinois Hospital Act, and facilities operated by the
19 Illinois Department of Mental Health and Developmental
20 Disabilities (or its successor, the Department of Human
21 Services) for outpatient services rendered on or after July
22 1, 1995 and before July 1, 1997, the Illinois Department
23 shall reimburse children's hospitals, as defined in the
24 Illinois Administrative Code Section 149.50(c)(3), at the
25 rates in effect on June 30, 1995, less that portion of such
26 rates attributed by the Illinois Department to the outpatient
27 indigent volume adjustment and shall reimburse all other
28 hospitals at the rates in effect on June 30, 1995, less the
29 portions of such rates attributed by the Illinois Department
30 to the cost of medical education and attributed by the
31 Illinois Department to the outpatient indigent volume
32 adjustment.
33 (c) In addition to any other payments under this Code,
34 the Illinois Department shall develop a hospital
HB1269 Enrolled -263- LRB9001000EGfg
1 disproportionate share reimbursement methodology that,
2 effective July 1, 1991, through September 30, 1992, shall
3 reimburse hospitals sufficiently to expend the fee monies
4 described in subsection (b) of Section 14-3 of this Code and
5 the federal matching funds received by the Illinois
6 Department as a result of expenditures made by the Illinois
7 Department as required by this subsection (c) and Section
8 14-2 that are attributable to fee monies deposited in the
9 Fund, less amounts applied to adjustment payments under
10 Section 5-5.02.
11 (d) Critical Care Access Payments.
12 (1) In addition to any other payments made under
13 this Code, the Illinois Department shall develop a
14 reimbursement methodology that shall reimburse Critical
15 Care Access Hospitals for the specialized services that
16 qualify them as Critical Care Access Hospitals. No
17 adjustment payments shall be made under this subsection
18 on or after July 1, 1995.
19 (2) "Critical Care Access Hospitals" includes, but
20 is not limited to, hospitals that meet at least one of
21 the following criteria:
22 (A) Hospitals located outside of a
23 metropolitan statistical area that are designated as
24 Level II Perinatal Centers and that provide a
25 disproportionate share of perinatal services to
26 recipients; or
27 (B) Hospitals that are designated as Level I
28 Trauma Centers (adult or pediatric) and certain
29 Level II Trauma Centers as determined by the
30 Illinois Department; or
31 (C) Hospitals located outside of a
32 metropolitan statistical area and that provide a
33 disproportionate share of obstetrical services to
34 recipients.
HB1269 Enrolled -264- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (e) Inpatient high volume adjustment. For hospital
2 inpatient services, effective with rate periods beginning on
3 or after October 1, 1993, in addition to rates paid for
4 inpatient services by the Illinois Department, the Illinois
5 Department shall make adjustment payments for inpatient
6 services furnished by Medicaid high volume hospitals. The
7 Illinois Department shall establish by rule criteria for
8 qualifying as a Medicaid high volume hospital and shall
9 establish by rule a reimbursement methodology for calculating
10 these adjustment payments to Medicaid high volume hospitals.
11 No adjustment payment shall be made under this subsection for
12 services rendered on or after July 1, 1995.
13 (f) The Illinois Department shall modify its current
14 rules governing adjustment payments for targeted access,
15 critical care access, and uncompensated care to classify
16 those adjustment payments as not being payments to
17 disproportionate share hospitals under Title XIX of the

5 may be imposed by the Board in an action brought before the
6 Board in accordance with Title VIII of this Act, except that
7 Section 33(c) of this Act shall not apply to any such action.
8 (j) (1) There shall be no liability under this Section
9 for a person otherwise liable who can establish by a
10 preponderance of the evidence that the release or substantial
11 threat of release of a hazardous substance and the damages
12 resulting therefrom were caused solely by:
13 (A) an act of God;
14 (B) an act of war;
15 (C) an act or omission of a third party other than
16 an employee or agent of the defendant, or other than one
17 whose act or omission occurs in connection with a
18 contractual relationship, existing directly or
19 indirectly, with the defendant (except where the sole
20 contractual arrangement arises from a published tariff
21 and acceptance for carriage by a common carrier by rail),
22 if the defendant establishes by a preponderance of the
23 evidence that (i) he exercised due care with respect to
24 the hazardous substance concerned, taking into
25 consideration the characteristics of such hazardous
26 substance, in light of all relevant facts and
27 circumstances, and (ii) he took precautions against
28 foreseeable acts or omissions of any such third party and
29 the consequences that could foreseeably result from such
30 acts or omissions; or
31 (D) any combination of the foregoing paragraphs.
32 (2) There shall be no liability under this Section for
33 any release permitted by State or federal law.
34 (3) There shall be no liability under this Section for
HB1269 Enrolled -280- LRB9001000EGfg
1 damages as a result of actions taken or omitted in the course
2 of rendering care, assistance, or advice in accordance with

4 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
5 Liability Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-510) or at the direction of an
6 on-scene coordinator appointed under such plan, with respect
7 to an incident creating a danger to public health or welfare
8 or the environment as a result of any release of a hazardous
9 substance or a substantial threat thereof. This subsection
10 shall not preclude liability for damages as the result of
11 gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of
12 such person. For the purposes of the preceding sentence,
13 reckless, willful, or wanton misconduct shall constitute
14 gross negligence.
15 (4) There shall be no liability under this Section for
16 any person (including, but not limited to, an owner of
17 residential property who applies a pesticide to the
18 residential property or who has another person apply a
19 pesticide to the residential property) for response costs or
20 damages as the result of the storage, handling and use, or
21 recommendation for storage, handling and use, of a pesticide
22 consistent with:
23 (A) its directions for storage, handling and use as
24 stated in its label or labeling;
25 (B) its warnings and cautions as stated in its
26 label or labeling; and
27 (C) the uses for which it is registered under the

30 (4.5) There shall be no liability under subdivision
31 (f)(1) of this Section for response costs or damages as the
32 result of a release of a pesticide from an agrichemical
33 facility site if the Agency has received notice from the
34 Department of Agriculture pursuant to Section 19.3 of the
HB1269 Enrolled -281- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Illinois Pesticide Act, the owner or operator of the
2 agrichemical facility is proceeding with a corrective action
3 plan under the Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program
4 implemented under that Section, and the Agency has provided a
5 written endorsement of a corrective action plan.
6 (4.6) There shall be no liability under subdivision
7 (f)(1) of this Section for response costs or damages as the
8 result of a substantial threat of a release of a pesticide
9 from an agrichemical facility site if the Agency has received
10 notice from the Department of Agriculture pursuant to Section
11 19.3 of the Illinois Pesticide Act and the owner or operator
12 of the agrichemical facility is proceeding with a corrective
13 action plan under the Agrichemical Facility Response Action
14 Program implemented under that Section.
15 (5) Nothing in this subsection (j) shall affect or
16 modify in any way the obligations or liability of any person
17 under any other provision of this Act or State or Federal
18 law, including common law, for damages, injury, or loss
19 resulting from a release or substantial threat of a release
20 of any hazardous substance or for removal or remedial action

22 substance.
23 (6)(A) The term "contractual relationship", for the
24 purpose of this subsection includes, but is not limited to,
25 land contracts, deeds or other instruments transferring title
26 or possession, unless the real property on which the facility
27 concerned is located was acquired by the defendant after the
28 disposal or placement of the hazardous substance on, in, or
29 at the facility, and one or more of the circumstances
30 described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph is
31 also established by the defendant by a preponderance of the
32 evidence:
33 (i) At the time the defendant acquired the facility
34 the defendant did not know and had no reason to know that
HB1269 Enrolled -282- LRB9001000EGfg
1 any hazardous substance which is the subject of the
2 release or threatened release was disposed of on, in or
3 at the facility.
4 (ii) The defendant is a government entity which
5 acquired the facility by escheat, or through any other
6 involuntary transfer or acquisition, or through the
7 exercise of eminent domain authority by purchase or
8 condemnation.
9 (iii) The defendant acquired the facility by
10 inheritance or bequest.
11 In addition to establishing the foregoing, the defendant
12 must establish that he has satisfied the requirements of
13 subparagraph (C) of paragraph (l) of this subsection (j).
14 (B) To establish the defendant had no reason to know, as
15 provided in clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph,
16 the defendant must have undertaken, at the time of
17 acquisition, all appropriate inquiry into the previous
18 ownership and uses of the property consistent with good
19 commercial or customary practice in an effort to minimize
20 liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the court
21 shall take into account any specialized knowledge or
22 experience on the part of the defendant, the relationship of
23 the purchase price to the value of the property if
24 uncontaminated, commonly known or reasonably ascertainable
25 information about the property, the obviousness of the
26 presence or likely presence of contamination at the property,
27 and the ability to detect such contamination by appropriate
28 inspection.
29 (C) Nothing in this paragraph (6) or in subparagraph (C)
30 of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall diminish the
31 liability of any previous owner or operator of such facility
32 who would otherwise be liable under this Act. Notwithstanding
33 this paragraph (6), if the defendant obtained actual
34 knowledge of the release or threatened release of a hazardous
HB1269 Enrolled -283- LRB9001000EGfg
1 substance at such facility when the defendant owned the real
2 property and then subsequently transferred ownership of the
3 property to another person without disclosing such knowledge,
4 such defendant shall be treated as liable under subsection
5 (f) of this Section and no defense under subparagraph (C) of
6 paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be available to such
7 defendant.
8 (D) Nothing in this paragraph (6) shall affect the
9 liability under this Act of a defendant who, by any act or
10 omission, caused or contributed to the release or threatened
11 release of a hazardous substance which is the subject of the
12 action relating to the facility.
13 (E) (i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this
14 subparagraph (E), a defendant who has acquired real property
15 shall have established a rebuttable presumption against all
16 State claims and a conclusive presumption against all private
17 party claims that the defendant has made all appropriate
18 inquiry within the meaning of subdivision (6)(B) of this
19 subsection (j) if the defendant proves that immediately prior
20 to or at the time of the acquisition:
21 (I) the defendant obtained a Phase I Environmental
22 Audit of the real property that meets or exceeds the
23 requirements of this subparagraph (E), and the Phase I
24 Environmental Audit did not disclose the presence or
25 likely presence of a release or a substantial threat of a
26 release of a hazardous substance or pesticide at, on, to,
27 or from the real property; or
28 (II) the defendant obtained a Phase II
29 Environmental Audit of the real property that meets or
30 exceeds the requirements of this subparagraph (E), and
31 the Phase II Environmental Audit did not disclose the
32 presence or likely presence of a release or a substantial
33 threat of a release of a hazardous substance or pesticide
34 at, on, to, or from the real property.
HB1269 Enrolled -284- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (ii) No presumption shall be created under clause (i) of
2 this subparagraph (E), and a defendant shall be precluded
3 from demonstrating that the defendant has made all
4 appropriate inquiry within the meaning of subdivision (6)(B)
5 of this subsection (j), if:
6 (I) the defendant fails to obtain all Environmental
7 Audits required under this subparagraph (E) or any such
8 Environmental Audit fails to meet or exceed the
9 requirements of this subparagraph (E);
10 (II) a Phase I Environmental Audit discloses the
11 presence or likely presence of a release or a substantial
12 threat of a release of a hazardous substance or pesticide
13 at, on, to, or from real property, and the defendant
14 fails to obtain a Phase II Environmental Audit;
15 (III) a Phase II Environmental Audit discloses the
16 presence or likely presence of a release or a substantial
17 threat of a release of a hazardous substance or pesticide
18 at, on, to, or from the real property;
19 (IV) the defendant fails to maintain a written
20 compilation and explanatory summary report of the
21 information reviewed in the course of each Environmental
22 Audit under this subparagraph (E); or
23 (V) there is any evidence of fraud, material
24 concealment, or material misrepresentation by the
25 defendant of environmental conditions or of related
26 information discovered during the course of an
27 Environmental Audit.

5 (II) is an Illinois licensed professional engineer
6 or an Illinois licensed industrial hygienist.
7 An environmental professional may employ persons who are
8 not environmental professionals to assist in the preparation
9 of an Environmental Audit if such persons are under the
10 direct supervision and control of the environmental
11 professional.
12 (iv) For purposes of this subparagraph (E), the term
13 "real property" means any interest in any parcel of land, and
14 shall not be limited to the definition of the term "real
15 property" contained in the Responsible Property Transfer Act
16 of 1988. For purposes of this subparagraph (E), the term

10 likely presence of a hazardous substance or pesticide,
11 and whether a release or a substantial threat of a
12 release of a hazardous substance or pesticide has
13 occurred or may occur at, on, to, or from the real
14 property. Such government records shall include, but not
15 be limited to: reasonably obtainable State, federal, and
16 local government investigation reports for those sites or
17 facilities; reasonably obtainable State, federal, and

4 by the defendant and by each environmental professional who
5 prepared the Environmental Audit that the facts stated in the
6 report are true and are made under a penalty of perjury as
7 defined in Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961. It is
8 perjury for any person to sign an audit report that contains
9 a false material statement that the person does not believe
10 to be true.
11 (viii) The Agency is not required to review, approve, or
12 certify the results of any Environmental Audit. The
13 performance of an Environmental Audit shall in no way entitle
14 a defendant to a presumption of Agency approval or
15 certification of the results of the Environmental Audit.
16 The presence or absence of a disclosure document prepared
17 under the Responsible Property Transfer Act of 1988 shall not
18 be a defense under this Act and shall not satisfy the
19 requirements of subdivision (6)(A) of this subsection (j).
20 (7) No person shall be liable under this Section for
21 response costs or damages as the result of a pesticide
22 release if the Agency has found that a pesticide release

24 Environmental Protection Agency or an action level developed
25 by the Agency, unless the Agency notified the manufacturer of
26 the pesticide and provided an opportunity of not less than 30
27 days for the manufacturer to comment on the technical and
28 scientific justification supporting the Health Advisory or
29 action level.
30 (8) No person shall be liable under this Section for
31 response costs or damages as the result of a pesticide
32 release that occurs in the course of a farm pesticide
33 collection program operated under Section 19.1 of the
34 Illinois Pesticide Act, unless the release results from gross
HB1269 Enrolled -290- LRB9001000EGfg
1 negligence or intentional misconduct.
2 (k) If any person who is liable for a release or
3 substantial threat of release of a hazardous substance or
4 pesticide fails without sufficient cause to provide removal
5 or remedial action upon or in accordance with a notice and
6 request by the Agency or upon or in accordance with any order
7 of the Board or any court, such person may be liable to the
8 State for punitive damages in an amount at least equal to,
9 and not more than 3 times, the amount of any costs incurred
10 by the State of Illinois as a result of such failure to take
11 such removal or remedial action. The punitive damages
12 imposed by the Board shall be in addition to any costs
13 recovered from such person pursuant to this Section and in
14 addition to any other penalty or relief provided by this Act
15 or any other law.
16 Any monies received by the State pursuant to this
17 subsection (k) shall be deposited in the Hazardous Waste
18 Fund.
19 (l) Beginning January 1, 1988, the Agency shall annually
20 collect a $250 fee for each Special Waste Hauling Permit
21 Application and, in addition, shall collect a fee of $20 for

32 1989, 1990 and 1991).
33 (5) If not more than 10,000 cubic yards of
34 non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed of at a
HB1269 Enrolled -293- LRB9001000EGfg
1 site in a calendar year, the owner or operator shall pay
2 a fee of $500 ($650 in 1989, 1990 and 1991).

18 (a) When the Board has by regulation required a permit
19 for the construction, installation, or operation of any type
20 of facility, equipment, vehicle, vessel, or aircraft, the
21 applicant shall apply to the Agency for such permit and it
22 shall be the duty of the Agency to issue such a permit upon
23 proof by the applicant that the facility, equipment, vehicle,
24 vessel, or aircraft will not cause a violation of this Act or
25 of regulations hereunder. The Agency shall adopt such
26 procedures as are necessary to carry out its duties under
27 this Section. In granting permits the Agency may impose such
28 conditions as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of
29 this Act, and as are not inconsistent with the regulations
30 promulgated by the Board hereunder. Except as otherwise
31 provided in this Act, a bond or other security shall not be
32 required as a condition for the issuance of a permit. If the
33 Agency denies any permit under this Section, the Agency shall
HB1269 Enrolled -299- LRB9001000EGfg
1 transmit to the applicant within the time limitations of this
2 Section specific, detailed statements as to the reasons the
3 permit application was denied. Such statements shall
4 include, but not be limited to the following:
5 (i) the Sections of this Act which may be violated
6 if the permit were granted;
7 (ii) the provision of the regulations, promulgated
8 under this Act, which may be violated if the permit were
9 granted;
10 (iii) the specific type of information, if any,
11 which the Agency deems the applicant did not provide the
12 Agency; and
13 (iv) a statement of specific reasons why the Act
14 and the regulations might not be met if the permit were
15 granted.
16 If there is no final action by the Agency within 90 days
17 after the filing of the application for permit, the applicant
18 may deem the permit issued; except that this time period
19 shall be extended to 180 days when (1) notice and
20 opportunity for public hearing are required by State or
21 federal law or regulation, (2) the application which was
22 filed is for any permit to develop a landfill subject to
23 issuance pursuant to this subsection, or (3) the application
24 that was filed is for a MSWLF unit required to issue public
25 notice under subsection (p) of Section 39.
26 The Agency shall publish notice of all final permit
27 determinations for development permits for MSWLF units and
28 for significant permit modifications for lateral expansions
29 for existing MSWLF units one time in a newspaper of general
30 circulation in the county in which the unit is or is proposed
31 to be located.
32 After January 1, 1994, operating permits issued under
33 this Section by the Agency for sources of air pollution
34 permitted to emit less than 25 tons per year of any
HB1269 Enrolled -300- LRB9001000EGfg
1 combination of regulated air pollutants, as defined in
2 Section 39.5 of this Act, shall be required to be renewed
3 only upon written request by the Agency consistent with
4 applicable provisions of this Act and regulations promulgated
5 hereunder. Such operating permits shall expire 180 days
6 after the date of such a request. The Board shall revise its
7 regulations for the existing State air pollution operating
8 permit program consistent with this provision by January 1,
9 1994.
10 (b) The Agency may issue NPDES permits exclusively under
11 this subsection for the discharge of contaminants from point
12 sources into navigable waters, all as defined in the Federal
13 Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter amended,
14 within the jurisdiction of the State, or into any well.
15 All NPDES permits shall contain those terms and
16 conditions, including but not limited to schedules of
17 compliance, which may be required to accomplish the purposes
18 and provisions of this Act.
19 The Agency may issue general NPDES permits for discharges
20 from categories of point sources which are subject to the
21 same permit limitations and conditions. Such general permits
22 may be issued without individual applications and shall
23 conform to regulations promulgated under Section 402 of the
24 Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as now or hereafter
25 amended.
26 The Agency may include, among such conditions, effluent
27 limitations and other requirements established under this
28 Act, Board regulations, the Federal Water Pollution Control
29 Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant
30 thereto, and schedules for achieving compliance therewith at
31 the earliest reasonable date.
32 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
33 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of NPDES
34 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
HB1269 Enrolled -301- LRB9001000EGfg
1 adopted by the Board, and with the Federal Water Pollution
2 Control Act, as now or hereafter amended, and regulations
3 pursuant thereto.
4 The Agency, subject to any conditions which may be
5 prescribed by Board regulations, may issue NPDES permits to
6 allow discharges beyond deadlines established by this Act or
7 by regulations of the Board without the requirement of a
8 variance, subject to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
9 as now or hereafter amended, and regulations pursuant
10 thereto.
11 (c) Except for those facilities owned or operated by
12 sanitary districts organized under the Metropolitan Water
13 Reclamation District Act, no permit for the development or
14 construction of a new pollution control facility may be
15 granted by the Agency unless the applicant submits proof to
16 the Agency that the location of the facility has been
17 approved by the County Board of the county if in an
18 unincorporated area, or the governing body of the
19 municipality when in an incorporated area, in which the
20 facility is to be located in accordance with Section 39.2 of
21 this Act.
22 Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control
23 facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal
24 facility for which the proposed site is located in an
25 unincorporated area of a county with a population of less
26 than 100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of
27 land that was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality
28 having a population of less than 5,000, then the local siting
29 review required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with
30 any permit applied for after that date shall be performed by
31 the governing body of that adjacent municipality rather than
32 the county board of the county in which the proposed site is
33 located; and for the purposes of that local siting review,
34 any references in this Act to the county board shall be
HB1269 Enrolled -302- LRB9001000EGfg
1 deemed to mean the governing body of that adjacent
2 municipality; provided, however, that the provisions of this
3 paragraph shall not apply to any proposed site which was, on
4 April 1, 1993, owned in whole or in part by another
5 municipality.
6 In the case of a pollution control facility for which a
7 development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an
8 operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to
9 August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the
10 Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor
11 issue an original operating permit for any portion of such
12 facility unless the applicant has submitted proof to the
13 Agency that the location of the facility has been approved by
14 the appropriate county board or municipal governing body
15 pursuant to Section 39.2 of this Act.
16 After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal
17 facility, any portion for which an operating permit has been
18 issued by the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5
19 or more consecutive calendars years, before that facility may
20 accept any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner
21 and operator must obtain a new operating permit under this
22 Act for that facility unless the owner and operator have
23 applied to the Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary
24 suspension of waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a
25 new operation permit under this Act for the facility unless
26 the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that the
27 location of the facility has been approved or re-approved by
28 the appropriate county board or municipal governing body
29 under Section 39.2 of this Act after the facility ceased
30 accepting waste.
31 Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary
32 districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
33 District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities
34 governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining
HB1269 Enrolled -303- LRB9001000EGfg
1 facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not
2 relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary
3 zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning
4 jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
5 Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment
6 plant or sludge drying site to be owned or operated by a
7 sanitary district organized under the Metropolitan Water
8 Reclamation District Act for which a new permit (rather than
9 the renewal or amendment of an existing permit) is required,
10 such sanitary district shall hold a public hearing within the
11 municipality within which the proposed facility is to be
12 located, or within the nearest community if the proposed
13 facility is to be located within an unincorporated area, at
14 which information concerning the proposed facility shall be
15 made available to the public, and members of the public shall
16 be given the opportunity to express their views concerning
17 the proposed facility.
18 The Agency may issue a permit for a municipal waste
19 transfer station without requiring approval pursuant to
20 Section 39.2 provided that the following demonstration is
21 made:
22 (1) the municipal waste transfer station was in
23 existence on or before January 1, 1979 and was in
24 continuous operation from January 1, 1979 to January 1,
25 1993;
26 (2) the operator submitted a permit application to
27 the Agency to develop and operate the municipal waste
28 transfer station during April of 1994;
29 (3) the operator can demonstrate that the county
30 board of the county, if the municipal waste transfer
31 station is in an unincorporated area, or the governing
32 body of the municipality, if the station is in an
33 incorporated area, does not object to resumption of the
34 operation of the station; and
HB1269 Enrolled -304- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (4) the site has local zoning approval.
2 (d) The Agency may issue RCRA permits exclusively under
3 this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for
4 the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste as
5 defined under this Act.
6 All RCRA permits shall contain those terms and
7 conditions, including but not limited to schedules of
8 compliance, which may be required to accomplish the purposes
9 and provisions of this Act. The Agency may include among
10 such conditions standards and other requirements established
11 under this Act, Board regulations, the Resource Conservation
12 and Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and
13 regulations pursuant thereto, and may include schedules for
14 achieving compliance therewith as soon as possible. The
15 Agency shall require that a performance bond or other
16 security be provided as a condition for the issuance of a
17 RCRA permit.
18 In the case of a permit to operate a hazardous waste or
19 PCB incinerator as defined in subsection (k) of Section 44,
20 the Agency shall require, as a condition of the permit, that
21 the operator of the facility perform such analyses of the
22 waste to be incinerated as may be necessary and appropriate
23 to ensure the safe operation of the incinerator.
24 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
25 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of RCRA
26 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
27 adopted by the Board, and with the Resource Conservation and
28 Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580), as amended, and
29 regulations pursuant thereto.
30 The applicant shall make available to the public for
31 inspection all documents submitted by the applicant to the
32 Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception
33 of trade secrets, at the office of the county board or
34 governing body of the municipality. Such documents may be
HB1269 Enrolled -305- LRB9001000EGfg
1 copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during
2 regular business hours of the local office. The Agency shall
3 issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial
4 of the permit explaining the basis for its decision.
5 (e) The Agency may issue UIC permits exclusively under
6 this subsection to persons owning or operating a facility for
7 the underground injection of contaminants as defined under
8 this Act.
9 All UIC permits shall contain those terms and conditions,
10 including but not limited to schedules of compliance, which
11 may be required to accomplish the purposes and provisions of
12 this Act. The Agency may include among such conditions
13 standards and other requirements established under this Act,
14 Board regulations, the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523),
15 as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto, and may include
16 schedules for achieving compliance therewith. The Agency
17 shall require that a performance bond or other security be
18 provided as a condition for the issuance of a UIC permit.
19 The Agency shall adopt filing requirements and procedures
20 which are necessary and appropriate for the issuance of UIC
21 permits, and which are consistent with the Act or regulations
22 adopted by the Board, and with the Safe Drinking Water Act
23 (P.L. 93-523), as amended, and regulations pursuant thereto.
24 The applicant shall make available to the public for
25 inspection, all documents submitted by the applicant to the
26 Agency in furtherance of an application, with the exception
27 of trade secrets, at the office of the county board or
28 governing body of the municipality. Such documents may be
29 copied upon payment of the actual cost of reproduction during
30 regular business hours of the local office. The Agency shall
31 issue a written statement concurrent with its grant or denial
32 of the permit explaining the basis for its decision.
33 (f) In making any determination pursuant to Section 9.1
34 of this Act:
HB1269 Enrolled -306- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (1) The Agency shall have authority to make the
2 determination of any question required to be determined
3 by the Clean Air Act, as now or hereafter amended, this
4 Act, or the regulations of the Board, including the
5 determination of the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate,
6 Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or Best Available
7 Control Technology, consistent with the Board's
8 regulations, if any.
9 (2) The Agency shall, after conferring with the
10 applicant, give written notice to the applicant of its
11 proposed decision on the application including the terms
12 and conditions of the permit to be issued and the facts,
13 conduct or other basis upon which the Agency will rely to
14 support its proposed action.
15 (3) Following such notice, the Agency shall give
16 the applicant an opportunity for a hearing in accordance
17 with the provisions of Sections 10-25 through 10-60 of
18 the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
19 (g) The Agency shall include as conditions upon all
20 permits issued for hazardous waste disposal sites such
21 restrictions upon the future use of such sites as are
22 reasonably necessary to protect public health and the
23 environment, including permanent prohibition of the use of
24 such sites for purposes which may create an unreasonable risk
25 of injury to human health or to the environment. After
26 administrative and judicial challenges to such restrictions
27 have been exhausted, the Agency shall file such restrictions
28 of record in the Office of the Recorder of the county in
29 which the hazardous waste disposal site is located.
30 (h) A hazardous waste stream may not be deposited in a
31 permitted hazardous waste site unless specific authorization
32 is obtained from the Agency by the generator and disposal
33 site owner and operator for the deposit of that specific
34 hazardous waste stream. The Agency may grant specific
HB1269 Enrolled -307- LRB9001000EGfg
1 authorization for disposal of hazardous waste streams only
2 after the generator has reasonably demonstrated that,
3 considering technological feasibility and economic
4 reasonableness, the hazardous waste cannot be reasonably
5 recycled for reuse, nor incinerated or chemically, physically
6 or biologically treated so as to neutralize the hazardous
7 waste and render it nonhazardous. In granting authorization
8 under this Section, the Agency may impose such conditions as
9 may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Act and
10 are consistent with this Act and regulations promulgated by
11 the Board hereunder. If the Agency refuses to grant
12 authorization under this Section, the applicant may appeal as
13 if the Agency refused to grant a permit, pursuant to the
14 provisions of subsection (a) of Section 40 of this Act. For
15 purposes of this subsection (h), the term "generator" has the
16 meaning given in Section 3.12 of this Act, unless: (1) the
17 hazardous waste is treated, incinerated, or partially
18 recycled for reuse prior to disposal, in which case the last
19 person who treats, incinerates, or partially recycles the
20 hazardous waste prior to disposal is the generator; or (2)
21 the hazardous waste is from a response action, in which case
22 the person performing the response action is the generator.
23 This subsection (h) does not apply to any hazardous waste
24 that is restricted from land disposal under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
25 728.
26 (i) Before issuing any RCRA permit or any permit for the
27 conduct of any waste-transportation or waste-disposal
28 operation, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the
29 prospective operator's prior experience in waste management
30 operations. The Agency may deny such a permit if the
31 prospective operator or any employee or officer of the
32 prospective operator has a history of:
33 (1) repeated violations of federal, State, or local
34 laws, regulations, standards, or ordinances in the
HB1269 Enrolled -308- LRB9001000EGfg
1 operation of refuse disposal facilities or sites; or
2 (2) conviction in this or another State of any
3 crime which is a felony under the laws of this State, or
4 conviction of a felony in a federal court; or
5 (3) proof of gross carelessness or incompetence in
6 handling, storing, processing, transporting or disposing
7 of any hazardous waste.
8 (j) The issuance under this Act of a permit to engage in
9 the surface mining of any resources other than fossil fuels
10 shall not relieve the permittee from its duty to comply with
11 any applicable local law regulating the commencement,
12 location or operation of surface mining facilities.
13 (k) A development permit issued under subsection (a) of
14 Section 39 for any facility or site which is required to have
15 a permit under subsection (d) of Section 21 shall expire at
16 the end of 2 calendar years from the date upon which it was
17 issued, unless within that period the applicant has taken
18 action to develop the facility or the site. In the event that

12 operations per year, located in a city of more than 1,000,000
13 inhabitants, for sale to or use by holders of certificates of
14 public convenience and necessity or foreign air carrier
15 permits, issued by the United States Department of

21 importation or receipt of diesel fuel by a rail carrier
22 registered under Section 18c-7201 of the Illinois Vehicle
23 Code and used directly in railroad operations. In addition,
24 no fee may be imposed when the sale is made with delivery to
25 a purchaser outside this State or when the sale is made to a
26 person holding a valid license as a receiver. In addition,
27 no fee shall be imposed upon diesel fuel consumed or used in
28 the operation of ships, barges, or vessels, that are used
29 primarily in or for the transportation of property in
30 interstate commerce for hire on rivers bordering on this
31 State, if the diesel fuel is delivered by a licensed receiver
32 to the purchaser's barge, ship, or vessel while it is afloat
33 upon that bordering river. A specific notation thereof shall
34 be made on the invoices or sales slips covering each sale.

20 enforcement system. The Commission shall determine the 3
21 railroad grade crossings within that county that pose the
22 greatest threat to human life based upon the number of
23 accidents and fatalities at the crossings during the past 5
24 years and with approval of the local law enforcement agency
25 equip the crossings with an automated railroad grade crossing

29 enforcement agency having jurisdiction shall issue a written
30 Uniform Traffic Citation of the violation to the registered
31 owner of the vehicle. The Uniform Traffic Citation shall be
32 delivered to the registered owner, by mail, within 30 days of
33 the violation. The Uniform Traffic Citation shall include
34 the name and address of vehicle owner, the vehicle
HB1269 Enrolled -344- LRB9001000EGfg
1 registration number, the offense charged, the time, date, and
2 location of the violation, the first available court date and
3 that the basis of the citation is the photograph or other
4 recorded image from the automated railroad grade crossing
5 enforcement system.
6 (d) The Uniform Traffic Citation issued to the violator
7 shall be accompanied by a written document which explains the
8 violator's rights and obligations and how the violator can
9 elect to proceed by either paying the fine or challenging the
10 issuance of the Uniform Traffic Citation.
11 (e) Any photograph or other recorded image evidencing a
12 violation of Section 11-1201 shall be admissible in any
13 proceeding resulting from the issuance of the Uniform Traffic
14 Citation. Photographs or recorded images made by an
15 automatic railroad grade crossing enforcement system shall be
16 confidential, and shall be made available only to the
17 defendant, governmental and law enforcement agencies for the
18 purposes of adjudicating a violation of Section 11-1201 of
19 the Illinois Vehicle Code.
20 (f) Rail crossings equipped with an automatic railroad
21 grade crossing enforcement system shall be posted with a sign
22 visible to approaching traffic stating that the railroad
23 grade crossing is being monitored, that citations will be
24 issued, and the amount of the fine for violation.
25 (g) The cost of the installation and maintenance of each
26 automatic railroad grade crossing enforcement system shall be
27 paid from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund if the rail line
28 is not owned by Commuter Rail Board of the Regional
29 Transportation Authority. If the rail line is owned by the
30 Commuter Rail Board of the Regional Transportation Authority,
31 the costs of the installation and maintenance shall be paid
32 from the Regional Transportation Authority's portion of the
33 Public Transportation Fund.

9 (705 ILCS 405/5-10) (from Ch. 37, par. 805-10)
10 Sec. 5-10. Detention or shelter care hearing. At the
11 appearance of the minor before the court at the detention or
12 shelter care hearing, all witnesses present shall be examined
13 before the court in relation to any matter connected with the
14 allegations made in the petition. No hearing may be held
15 unless the minor is represented by counsel.
16 (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause
17 to believe that the minor is a delinquent minor it shall
18 release the minor and dismiss the petition.
19 (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
20 believe that the minor is a delinquent minor, the minor, his
21 or her parent, guardian, custodian and other persons able to
22 give relevant testimony shall be examined before the court.
23 After such testimony, the court may enter an order that the
24 minor shall be released upon the request of a parent,
25 guardian or custodian if the parent, guardian or custodian
26 appears to take custody. Custodian shall include any agency
27 of the State which has been given custody or wardship of the
28 child.
29 If the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
30 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the
31 person or property of another that the minor be detained or
32 placed in a shelter care facility or that he or she is likely
HB1269 Enrolled -364- LRB9001000EGfg
1 to flee the jurisdiction of the court, the court may
2 prescribe detention or shelter care and order that the minor
3 be kept in a suitable place designated by the court or in a
4 shelter care facility designated by the Department of
5 Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare
6 agency; otherwise it shall release the minor from custody. If
7 the court prescribes shelter care, then in placing the minor,
8 the Department or other agency shall, to the extent
9 compatible with the court's order, comply with Section 7 of
10 the Children and Family Services Act. In making the
11 determination of the existence of immediate and urgent
12 necessity, the court shall consider among other matters: (a)
13 the nature and seriousness of the alleged offense; (b) the
14 minor's record of delinquency offenses, including whether the
15 minor has delinquency cases pending; (c) the minor's record
16 of willful failure to appear following the issuance of a
17 summons or warrant; and (d) the availability of non-custodial
18 alternatives, including the presence of a parent, guardian or
19 other responsible relative able and willing to provide
20 supervision and care for the minor and to assure his or her
21 compliance with a summons. If the minor is ordered placed in
22 a shelter care facility of a licensed child welfare agency,
23 the court shall, upon request of the agency, appoint the
24 appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the minor
25 and the court may enter such other orders related to the
26 temporary custody of the minor as it deems fit and proper.
27 The order together with the court's findings of fact in
28 support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
29 Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
30 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the
31 minor be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall
32 not be returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until
33 the court finds that such placement is no longer necessary
34 for the protection of the minor.

1 (3) If neither the parent, guardian, legal custodian,
2 responsible relative nor counsel of the minor has had actual
3 notice of or is present at the detention or shelter care
4 hearing, he or she may file his or her affidavit setting
5 forth these facts, and the clerk shall set the matter for
6 rehearing not later than 24 hours, excluding Sundays and
7 legal holidays, after the filing of the affidavit. At the
8 rehearing, the court shall proceed in the same manner as
9 upon the original hearing.
10 (4) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that
11 the minor taken into custody is a delinquent minor may the
12 minor be kept or detained in a juvenile detention home. This
13 Section shall in no way be construed to limit subsection (5).

17 station. Minors under 17 years of age must be kept separate

22 confined in a county jail, in a county with a population
23 below 3,000,000 inhabitants, then the minor's confinement
24 shall be implemented in such a manner that there will be no
25 contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the minor and
26 adult prisoners. Minors 12 years of age or older must be
27 kept separate from confined adults and may not at any time be
28 kept in the same cell, room, or yard with confined adults.
29 This paragraph (5.1)(a) shall only apply to confinement
30 pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall not exceed 36
31 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and court designated
32 holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time period,

8 standards promulgated by the Department of Corrections and
9 training standards approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement
10 Training Standards Board.
11 (c) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,
12 after the time period prescribed in paragraphs (5.1)(a) and
13 (5.1)(b), county jails shall comply with all programmatic and
14 training standards for juvenile detention homes promulgated
15 by the Department of Corrections.
16 (6) If the minor is not brought before a judicial
17 officer within the time period as specified in Section 5-9,
18 the minor must immediately be released from custody.
19 (7) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears
20 within 24 hours to take custody of a minor released upon
21 request pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section, then the
22 clerk of the court shall set the matter for rehearing not
23 later than 7 days after the original order and shall issue a
24 summons directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to
25 appear. At the same time the probation department shall
26 prepare a report on the minor. If a parent, guardian or
27 custodian does not appear at such rehearing, the judge may
28 enter an order prescribing that the minor be kept in a
29 suitable place designated by the Department of Human Services
30 or a licensed child welfare agency. The time during which a
31 minor is in custody after being released upon the request of
32 a parent, guardian or custodian shall be considered as time
33 spent in detention.
34 (8) Any interested party, including the State, the
HB1269 Enrolled -367- LRB9001000EGfg
1 temporary custodian, an agency providing services to the
2 minor or family under a service plan pursuant to Section 8.2
3 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster
4 parent, or any of their representatives, may file a motion to
5 modify or vacate a temporary custody order on any of the
6 following grounds:
7 (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent
8 necessity that the minor remain in detention or shelter care;
9 or
10 (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of
11 the natural family from which the minor was removed; or
12 (c) A person, including a parent, relative or legal
13 guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
14 minor; or
15 (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and
16 Family Services or a child welfare agency or other service
17 provider have been successful in eliminating the need for
18 temporary custody.
19 The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
20 14 days after such motion is filed. In the event that the
21 court modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does
22 not vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order
23 that appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf
24 of the minor and his or her family.

28 Sec. 5-23. Kinds of dispositional orders.
29 (1) The following kinds of orders of disposition may be
30 made in respect of wards of the court:
31 (a) Except as provided in Section 5-33 and Section
32 5-35, a minor found to be a delinquent under Section 5-3
33 may be:
HB1269 Enrolled -368- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (1) put on probation or conditional discharge
2 and released to his or her parents, guardian or
3 legal custodian, provided, however, that any such
4 minor who is not committed to the Department of
5 Corrections, Juvenile Division under this subsection
6 and who is found to be a delinquent for an offense
7 which is first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a
8 forcible felony shall be placed on probation;
9 (2) placed in accordance with Section 5-29,
10 with or without also being put on probation or
11 conditional discharge;
12 (3) where authorized under the Alcoholism and
13 Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act, ordered
14 admitted for treatment for drug addiction by the
15 Department of Human Services;
16 (4) committed to the Department of Children
17 and Family Services, but only if the delinquent
18 minor is under 13 years of age;
19 (5) placed in detention for a period not to
20 exceed 30 days, either as the exclusive order of
21 disposition or, where appropriate, in conjunction
22 with any other order of disposition issued under
23 this paragraph, provided that any such detention
24 shall be in a juvenile detention home and the minor
25 so detained shall be 10 years of age or older.
26 However, the 30-day limitation may be extended by
27 further order of the court for a minor under age 13
28 committed to the Department of Children and Family
29 Services if the court finds that the minor is a
30 danger to himself or others. The minor shall be
31 given credit on the dispositional order of detention
32 for time spent in detention under Sections 5-10(2),
33 5-14(b)(2), 5-23(1)(b), or 5-25(2) of this Act as a
34 result of the offense for which the dispositional
HB1269 Enrolled -369- LRB9001000EGfg
1 order was imposed. The court may grant credit on a
2 dispositional order of detention entered under a
3 violation of probation or violation of conditional
4 discharge under Section 5-25 of this Act for time
5 spent in detention before the filing of the petition
6 alleging the violation. A minor shall not be
7 deprived of credit for time spent in detention
8 before the filing of a violation of probation or
9 conditional discharge alleging the same or related
10 act(s);
11 (6) ordered partially or completely
12 emancipated in accordance with the provisions of the
13 Emancipation of Mature Minors Act; or
14 (7) put on probation or conditional discharge
15 and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
16 Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period
17 of incarceration permitted by law for adults found
18 guilty of the same offense or offenses for which the
19 minor was adjudicated delinquent, and in any event
20 no longer than upon attainment of age 21; this
21 subdivision (7) notwithstanding any contrary
22 provision of the law.
23 (b) A minor found to be delinquent may be committed
24 to the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division,
25 under Section 5-33 if the minor is 13 years of age or
26 older, provided that the commitment to the Department of
27 Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
28 term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults
29 found guilty of the offense for which the minor was
30 adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor is
31 in custody before being released upon the request of a
32 parent, guardian or custodian shall be considered as time
33 spent in detention.
34 (1.1) When a minor is found to be delinquent for an
HB1269 Enrolled -370- LRB9001000EGfg
1 offense which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
2 Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of
3 the court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
4 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in a
5 substance abuse program approved by the Department of Human
6 Services.
7 (2) Any order of disposition other than commitment to
8 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide
9 for protective supervision under Section 5-26 and may include
10 an order of protection under Section 5-27.
11 (3) Unless the order of disposition expressly so
12 provides, it does not operate to close proceedings on the
13 pending petition, but is subject to modification until final
14 closing and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-34.
15 (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
16 court may order any minor found to be delinquent to make
17 restitution, in monetary or non-monetary form, under the
18 terms and conditions of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
19 Corrections, except that the "presentence hearing" referred
20 to therein shall be the dispositional hearing for purposes of
21 this Section. The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the
22 minor may be ordered by the court to pay some or all of the
23 restitution on the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental
24 Responsibility Law, as now or hereafter amended. The State's
25 Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any victim in
26 seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to
27 the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the Parental
28 Responsibility Law.
29 (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is
30 committed or placed in accordance with Section 5-29 shall
31 provide for the parents or guardian of the estate of such
32 minor to pay to the legal custodian or guardian of the person
33 of the minor such sums as are determined by the custodian or
34 guardian of the person of the minor as necessary for the
HB1269 Enrolled -371- LRB9001000EGfg
1 minor's needs. Such payments may not exceed the maximum
2 amounts provided for by Section 9.1 of the Children and
3 Family Services Act.
4 (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor
5 to attend school or participate in a program of training, the
6 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
7 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
8 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
9 (7) In no event shall a delinquent minor be committed
10 for a period of time in excess of that period for which an
11 adult could be committed for the same act.
12 (8) A minor found to be delinquent for reasons that
13 include a violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of
14 1961 shall be ordered to perform community service for not
15 less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community
16 service is available in the jurisdiction. The community
17 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the
18 cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the
19 violation or similar damage to property located in the
20 municipality or county in which the violation occurred. The
21 order may be in addition to any other order authorized by
22 this Section.
23 (9) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
24 court shall order any minor found to be delinquent for an act
25 which would constitute criminal sexual assault, aggravated
26 criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if committed
27 by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine whether
28 the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
29 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
30 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
31 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
32 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
33 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
34 fluids as well as an examination of the minor's person.
HB1269 Enrolled -372- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of the test
2 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
3 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
4 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
5 disposition order was entered for the judge's inspection in
6 camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of the
7 victim and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
8 determine to whom the results of the testing may be revealed.
9 The court shall notify the minor of the results of the test
10 for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
11 The court shall also notify the victim if requested by the
12 victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and if
13 requested by the victim's parents or legal guardian, the
14 court shall notify the victim's parents or the legal guardian
15 of the results of the test for infection with the human
16 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
17 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
18 at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
19 whom the results of the testing are revealed. The court
20 shall order that the cost of any test shall be paid by the
21 county and may be taxed as costs against the minor.
22 (10) When a court finds a minor to be delinquent the
23 court shall, before making a disposition under this Section,
24 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (i) was
25 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
26 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
27 or allegiance to an organized gang, or (ii) involved a
28 violation of paragraph (13) of subsection (a) of the Criminal
29 Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
30 Criminal Code of 1961, or a violation of any statute that
31 involved the wrongful use of a firearm. If the court
32 determines the question in the affirmative, and the court
33 does not commit the minor to the Department of Corrections,
34 Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
HB1269 Enrolled -373- LRB9001000EGfg
1 community service for not less than 30 hours nor more than
2 120 hours, provided that community service is available in
3 the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county
4 board of the county where the offense was committed. The
5 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
6 the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
7 Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar
8 damage to property located in the municipality or county in
9 which the violation occurred. When possible and reasonable,
10 the community service shall be performed in the minor's
11 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
12 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
13 the minor in the custody of the Department of Corrections,
14 Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this Section,
15 "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10
16 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

27 (a) A person convicted of a felony, or charged with the

HB1269 Enrolled -375- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Section 2-240. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
2 amended by changing Sections 110-6.3 and 122-1 as follows:
3 (725 ILCS 5/110-6.3) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6.3)
4 Sec. 110-6.3. Denial of bail in stalking and aggravated
5 stalking offenses.
6 (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
7 hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to
8 a defendant who is charged with stalking or aggravated
9 stalking, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission
10 to bail poses a real and present threat to the physical
11 safety of the alleged victim of the offense, and denial of
12 release on bail or personal recognizance is necessary to
13 prevent fulfillment of the threat upon which the charge is
14 based.
15 (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
16 the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
17 within 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
18 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
19 reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while the
20 petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
21 previously released shall not be detained.
22 (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
23 defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
24 cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
25 continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant
26 may not exceed 5 calendar days, and the defendant may be
27 held in custody during the continuance. A continuance on
28 the motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days;
29 however, the defendant may be held in custody during the
30 continuance under this provision if the defendant has
31 been previously found to have violated an order of
32 protection or has been previously convicted of, or
33 granted court supervision for, any of the offenses set
HB1269 Enrolled -376- LRB9001000EGfg
1 forth in Sections 12-2, 12-3.2, 12-4, 12-4.1, 12-7.3,
2 12-7.4, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the
3 Criminal Code of 1961, against the same person as the
4 alleged victim of the stalking or aggravated stalking
5 offense.
6 (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant when, after
7 the hearing, it is determined that:
8 (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great
9 that the defendant has committed the offense of stalking
10 or aggravated stalking; and
11 (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat
12 to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the
13 offense; and
14 (3) the denial of release on bail or personal
15 recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the
16 threat upon which the charge is based; and
17 (4) the court finds that no condition or
18 combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
19 Section 110-10 of this Code, including mental health
20 treatment at a community mental health center, hospital,
21 or facility of the Department of Human Services, can
22 reasonably assure the physical safety of the alleged
23 victim of the offense.
24 (c) Conduct of the hearings.
25 (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
26 threat to the alleged victim of the offense shall be
27 conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
28 (A) Information used by the court in its
29 findings or stated in or offered at the hearing may
30 be by way of proffer based upon reliable information
31 offered by the State or by defendant. Defendant has
32 the right to be represented by counsel, and if he is
33 indigent, to have counsel appointed for him.
34 Defendant shall have the opportunity to testify, to
HB1269 Enrolled -377- LRB9001000EGfg
1 present witnesses in his own behalf, and to
2 cross-examine witnesses if any are called by the
3 State. The defendant has the right to present
4 witnesses in his favor. When the ends of justice so
5 require, the court may exercise its discretion and
6 compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
7 court shall state on the record reasons for granting
8 a defense request to compel the presence of a
9 complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
10 complaining witness at the pretrial detention
11 hearing for the purpose of impeaching the witness'
12 credibility is insufficient reason to compel the
13 presence of the witness. In deciding whether to
14 compel the appearance of a complaining witness, the
15 court shall be considerate of the emotional and
16 physical well-being of the witness. The pretrial
17 detention hearing is not to be used for the purposes
18 of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of
19 discovery do not apply. The State shall tender to
20 the defendant, prior to the hearing, copies of
21 defendant's criminal history, if any, if available,
22 and any written or recorded statements and the
23 substance of any oral statements made by any person,
24 if relied upon by the State. The rules concerning
25 the admissibility of evidence in criminal trials do
26 not apply to the presentation and consideration of
27 information at the hearing. At the trial concerning
28 the offense for which the hearing was conducted
29 neither the finding of the court nor any transcript
30 or other record of the hearing shall be admissible
31 in the State's case in chief, but shall be
32 admissible for impeachment, or as provided in
33 Section 115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury
34 proceeding.
HB1269 Enrolled -378- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress
2 evidence or to suppress a confession shall not be
3 entertained. Evidence that proof may have been
4 obtained as the result of an unlawful search and
5 seizure or through improper interrogation is not
6 relevant to this state of the prosecution.
7 (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
8 finding that:
9 (A) the defendant poses a real and present
10 threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim
11 of the offense; and
12 (B) the denial of release on bail or personal
13 recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
14 the threat upon which the charge is based;
15 shall be supported by clear and convincing evidence
16 presented by the State.
17 (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination
18 of the threat to the alleged victim of the offense. The court
19 may, in determining whether the defendant poses, at the time
20 of the hearing, a real and present threat to the physical
21 safety of the alleged victim of the offense, consider but
22 shall not be limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
23 (1) The nature and circumstances of the offense
24 charged;
25 (2) The history and characteristics of the
26 defendant including:
27 (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior
28 criminal history indicative of violent, abusive or
29 assaultive behavior, or lack of that behavior. The
30 evidence may include testimony or documents received
31 in juvenile proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal,
32 civil commitment, domestic relations or other
33 proceedings;
34 (B) Any evidence of the defendant's
HB1269 Enrolled -379- LRB9001000EGfg
1 psychological, psychiatric or other similar social
2 history that tends to indicate a violent, abusive,
3 or assaultive nature, or lack of any such history.
4 (3) The nature of the threat which is the basis of
5 the charge against the defendant;
6 (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
7 defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
8 them;
9 (5) The age and physical condition of any person
10 assaulted by the defendant;
11 (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or
12 have access to any weapon or weapons;
13 (7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or
14 any other offense or arrest, the defendant was on
15 probation, parole, mandatory supervised release or other
16 release from custody pending trial, sentencing, appeal or
17 completion of sentence for an offense under federal or
18 state law;
19 (8) Any other factors, including those listed in
20 Section 110-5 of this Code, deemed by the court to have a
21 reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
22 reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior,
23 or lack of that behavior.
24 (e) The court shall, in any order denying bail to a
25 person charged with stalking or aggravated stalking:
26 (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the
27 defendant's culpability and its reasons for concluding
28 that the defendant should be held without bail;
29 (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
30 custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
31 pending trial;
32 (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
33 opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and
34 for communication with others of his choice by
HB1269 Enrolled -380- LRB9001000EGfg
1 visitation, mail and telephone; and
2 (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant
3 as required for appearances in connection with court
4 proceedings.
5 (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of
6 the defendant under subsection (e) of this Section, the
7 defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which
8 he is detained within 90 days after the date on which the
9 order for detention was entered. If the defendant is not
10 brought to trial within the 90 day period required by this
11 subsection (f), he shall not be held longer without bail. In
12 computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period
13 of delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request
14 of the defendant. The court shall immediately notify the
15 alleged victim of the offense that the defendant has been
16 admitted to bail under this subsection.
17 (g) Any person shall be entitled to appeal any order
18 entered under this Section denying bail to the defendant.
19 (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
20 Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
21 (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
22 modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
23 of innocence in further criminal proceedings.

27 Sec. 122-1. Petition in the trial court.
28 (a) Any person imprisoned in the penitentiary who
29 asserts that in the proceedings which resulted in his or her
30 conviction there was a substantial denial of his or her
31 rights under the Constitution of the United States or of the
32 State of Illinois or both may institute a proceeding under
33 this Article.
HB1269 Enrolled -381- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (b) The proceeding shall be commenced by filing with the
2 clerk of the court in which the conviction took place a
3 petition (together with a copy thereof) verified by
4 affidavit. Petitioner shall also serve another copy upon the
5 State's Attorney by any of the methods provided in Rule 7 of
6 the Supreme Court. The clerk shall docket the petition for
7 consideration by the court pursuant to Section 122-2.1 upon
8 his or her receipt thereof and bring the same promptly to the
9 attention of the court.
10 (c) No proceedings under this Article shall be commenced
11 more than 6 months after the denial of a petition for leave
12 to appeal or the date for filing such a petition if none is
13 filed or more than 45 days after the defendant files his or
14 her brief in the appeal of the sentence before the Illinois
15 Supreme Court (or more than 45 days after the deadline for
16 the filing of the defendant's brief with the Illinois Supreme
17 Court if no brief is filed) or 3 years from the date of

20 her culpable negligence.
21 (d) A person seeking relief by filing a petition under
22 this Section must specify in the petition or its heading that
23 it is filed under this Section. A trial court that has
24 received a petition complaining of a conviction or sentence
25 that fails to specify in the petition or its heading that it
26 is filed under this Section need not evaluate the petition to
27 determine whether it could otherwise have stated some grounds
28 for relief under this Article.
29 (e) A proceeding under this Article may not be commenced
30 on behalf of a defendant who has been sentenced to death
31 without the written consent of the defendant, unless the
32 defendant, because of a mental or physical condition, is
33 incapable of asserting his or her own claim.

4 described in the report shall be identified by inmate number
5 or other designation to enable tracking, auditing, and

5 treatment by the chief administrative officer consenting on
6 the person's behalf. Before the chief administrative officer
7 consents, he or she shall obtain the advice of one or more
8 physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches

10 (1) that immediate medical or surgical treatment is
11 required relative to a condition threatening to cause
12 death, damage or impairment to bodily functions, or
13 disfigurement; and
14 (2) that the person is not capable of giving
15 consent to such treatment; the chief administrative
16 officer may give consent for such medical or surgical

19 not limited to, the authority of a physician to give such
20 treatment.
21 (f) In the event that the person requires medical care
22 and treatment at a place other than the institution or

25 require the committed person receiving medical or dental
26 services on a non-emergency basis to pay a $2 co-payment to
27 the Department for each visit for medical or dental services
28 at a place other than the institution or facility. The
29 amount of each co-payment shall be deducted from the
30 committed person's individual account. A committed person who
31 is indigent is exempt from the $2 co-payment and is entitled
32 to receive medical or dental services on the same basis as a
33 committed person who is financially able to afford the
34 co-payment.

5 all costs of such testing and counseling are appropriated for
6 that purpose by the General Assembly.

19 Sec. 5-6-4. Violation, Modification or Revocation of
20 Probation, of Conditional Discharge or Supervision or of a
21 sentence of county impact incarceration - Hearing.
22 (a) Except in cases where conditional discharge or
23 supervision was imposed for a petty offense as defined in
24 Section 5-1-17, when a petition is filed charging a violation
25 of a condition, the court may:
26 (1) in the case of probation violations, order the
27 issuance of a notice to the offender to be present by the
28 County Probation Department or such other agency
29 designated by the court to handle probation matters; and
30 in the case of conditional discharge or supervision
31 violations, such notice to the offender shall be issued
32 by the Circuit Court Clerk; and in the case of a
33 violation of a sentence of county impact incarceration,
HB1269 Enrolled -441- LRB9001000EGfg
1 such notice shall be issued by the Sheriff;
2 (2) order a summons to the offender to be present
3 for hearing; or
4 (3) order a warrant for the offender's arrest where
5 there is danger of his fleeing the jurisdiction or
6 causing serious harm to others or when the offender fails
7 to answer a summons or notice from the clerk of the court
8 or Sheriff.
9 Personal service of the petition for violation of
10 probation or the issuance of such warrant, summons or notice
11 shall toll the period of probation, conditional discharge,
12 supervision, or sentence of county impact incarceration until
13 the final determination of the charge, and the term of
14 probation, conditional discharge, supervision, or sentence of
15 county impact incarceration shall not run until the hearing
16 and disposition of the petition for violation.
17 (b) The court shall conduct a hearing of the alleged
18 violation. The court shall admit the offender to bail pending
19 the hearing unless the alleged violation is itself a criminal
20 offense in which case the offender shall be admitted to bail
21 on such terms as are provided in the Code of Criminal
22 Procedure of 1963, as amended. In any case where an offender
23 remains incarcerated only as a result of his alleged
24 violation of the court's earlier order of probation,
25 supervision, conditional discharge, or county impact
26 incarceration such hearing shall be held within 14 days of
27 the onset of said incarceration, unless the alleged violation
28 is the commission of another offense by the offender during
29 the period of probation, supervision or conditional discharge
30 in which case such hearing shall be held within the time
31 limits described in Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal
32 Procedure of 1963, as amended.
33 (c) The State has the burden of going forward with the
34 evidence and proving the violation by the preponderance of
HB1269 Enrolled -442- LRB9001000EGfg
1 the evidence. The evidence shall be presented in open court
2 with the right of confrontation, cross-examination, and
3 representation by counsel.
4 (d) Probation, conditional discharge, periodic
5 imprisonment and supervision shall not be revoked for failure
6 to comply with conditions of a sentence or supervision, which
7 imposes financial obligations upon the offender unless such
8 failure is due to his willful refusal to pay.
9 (e) If the court finds that the offender has violated a
10 condition at any time prior to the expiration or termination
11 of the period, it may continue him on the existing sentence,
12 with or without modifying or enlarging the conditions, or may
13 impose any other sentence that was available under Section
14 5-5-3 at the time of initial sentencing. If the court finds
15 that the person has failed to successfully complete his or
16 her sentence to a county impact incarceration program, the
17 court may impose any other sentence that was available under
18 Section 5-5-3 at the time of initial sentencing, except for a
19 sentence of probation or conditional discharge.
20 (f) The conditions of probation, of conditional
21 discharge, of supervision, or of a sentence of county impact
22 incarceration may be modified by the court on motion of the
23 supervising agency or on its own motion or at the request of
24 the offender after notice and a hearing.
25 (g) A judgment revoking supervision, probation,
26 conditional discharge, or a sentence of county impact
27 incarceration is a final appealable order.
28 (h) Resentencing after revocation of probation,
29 conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
30 impact incarceration shall be under Article 4. Time served on
31 probation, conditional discharge or supervision shall not be
32 credited by the court against a sentence of imprisonment or
33 periodic imprisonment unless the court orders otherwise.
34 (i) Instead of filing a violation of probation,
HB1269 Enrolled -443- LRB9001000EGfg
1 conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
2 impact incarceration, an agent or employee of the supervising
3 agency with the concurrence of his or her supervisor may
4 serve on the defendant a Notice of Intermediate Sanctions.
5 The Notice shall contain the technical violation or
6 violations involved, the date or dates of the violation or
7 violations, and the intermediate sanctions to be imposed.
8 Upon receipt of the Notice, the defendant shall immediately
9 accept or reject the intermediate sanctions. If the
10 sanctions are accepted, they shall be imposed immediately.
11 If the intermediate sanctions are rejected or the defendant
12 does not respond to the Notice, a violation of probation,
13 conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
14 impact incarceration shall be immediately filed with the
15 court. The State's Attorney and the sentencing court shall
16 be notified of the Notice of Sanctions. Upon successful
17 completion of the intermediate sanctions, a court may not
18 revoke probation, conditional discharge, supervision, or a
19 sentence of county impact incarceration or impose additional
20 sanctions for the same violation. A notice of intermediate
21 sanctions may not be issued for any violation of probation,
22 conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
23 impact incarceration which could warrant an additional,
24 separate felony charge. The intermediate sanctions shall
25 include a term of home detention as provided in Article 8A of
26 Chapter V of this Code for multiple or repeat violations of
27 the terms and conditions of a sentence of probation,
28 conditional discharge, or supervision.

HB1269 Enrolled -444- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (a) Every gainfully employed offender shall be
2 responsible for managing his or her earnings. The clerk of
3 the circuit court shall have only those responsibilities
4 regarding an offender's earnings as are set forth in this
5 Section.
6 Every offender, including offenders who are sentenced to
7 periodic imprisonment for weekends only, gainfully employed
8 shall pay a fee for room and board at a rate established,
9 with the concurrence of the chief judge of the judicial
10 circuit, by the county board of the county in which the
11 offender is incarcerated. The concurrence of the chief judge
12 shall be in the form of an administrative order. In
13 establishing the fee for room and board consideration may be
14 given to all costs incidental to the incarceration of
15 offenders. If an offender is necessarily absent from the
16 institution at mealtime he or she shall, without additional
17 charge, be furnished with a meal to carry to work. Each
18 week, on a day designated by the clerk of the circuit court,
19 every offender shall pay the clerk the fees for the
20 offender's room and board. Failure to pay the clerk on the
21 day designated shall result in the termination of the

24 General Corporate Fund.
25 By order of the court, all or a portion of the earnings

28 (1) the room and board of the offender;
29 (2) necessary travel expenses to and from work and
30 other incidental expenses of the offender, when those
31 expenses are incurred by the administrator of the
32 offender's imprisonment;
33 (3) support of the offender's dependents, if any.
34 (b) If the offender has one or more dependents who are
HB1269 Enrolled -445- LRB9001000EGfg
1 recipients of financial assistance pursuant to the Illinois
2 Public Aid Code, or who are residents of a State hospital,
3 State school or foster care facility provided by the State,
4 the court shall order the offender to turn over all or a
5 portion of his earnings to the clerk who shall, after making
6 the deductions provided for under paragraph (a), distribute
7 those earnings to the appropriate agency as reimbursement for
8 the cost of care of such dependents. The order shall permit
9 the Department of Human Services (acting as successor to the
10 Illinois Department of Public Aid under the Department of
11 Human Services Act) or the local governmental unit, as the
12 case may be, to request the clerk that subsequent payments be
13 made directly to the dependents, or to some agency or person
14 in their behalf, upon removal of the dependents from the
15 public aid rolls; and upon such direction and removal of the
16 recipients from the public aid rolls, the Department of Human
17 Services or the local governmental unit, as the case
18 requires, shall give written notice of such action to the
19 court. Payments received by the Department of Human Services
20 or by governmental units in behalf of recipients of public
21 aid shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund of the
22 State Treasury or General Assistance Fund of the governmental
23 unit, under Section 10-19 of the Illinois Public Aid Code.

28 payments required by the court's order from such trustee
29 account. Such accounts shall be subject to audit in the same
30 manner as accounts of the county are audited.
31 (d) If an institution or the Department of Corrections
32 certifies to the court that it can administer this Section
33 with respect to persons committed to it under this Article,
34 the clerk of the court shall be relieved of its duties under
HB1269 Enrolled -446- LRB9001000EGfg

5 Section 2-255. The County Jail Act is amended by
6 changing Section 17 as follows:
7 (730 ILCS 125/17) (from Ch. 75, par. 117)
8 Sec. 17. Bedding, clothing, fuel, and medical aid;
9 reimbursement for medical or hospital expenses. The Warden
10 of the jail shall furnish necessary bedding, clothing, fuel
11 and medical aid for all prisoners under his charge, and keep
12 an accurate account of the same. When medical or hospital
13 services are required by any person held in custody, the
14 county, private hospital, physician or any public agency
15 which provides such services shall be entitled to obtain
16 reimbursement from the county or from the Arrestee's Medical
17 Costs Fund to the extent that moneys in the Fund are
18 available for the cost of such services. The county board of
19 a county may adopt an ordinance or resolution providing for
20 reimbursement for the cost of those services at the
21 Department of Public Aid's rates for medical assistance. To
22 the extent that such person is reasonably able to pay for
23 such care, including reimbursement from any insurance program
24 or from other medical benefit programs available to such
25 person, he or she shall reimburse the county or arresting
26 authority. If such person has already been determined
27 eligible for medical assistance under The Illinois Public Aid
28 Code at the time the person is initially detained pending
29 trial, the cost of such services, to the extent such cost
30 exceeds $2,500, shall be reimbursed by the Department of
31 Public Aid under that Code. A reimbursement under any public
32 or private program authorized by this Section shall be paid
HB1269 Enrolled -447- LRB9001000EGfg
1 to the county or arresting authority to the same extent as
2 would have been obtained had the services been rendered in a
3 non-custodial environment.
4 An arresting authority shall be responsible for any
5 incurred medical expenses relating to the arrestee until such
6 time as the arrestee is placed in the custody of the sheriff.
7 However, the arresting authority shall not be so responsible
8 if the arrest was made pursuant to a request by the sheriff.
9 When medical or hospital services are required by any person
10 held in custody, the county or arresting authority shall be
11 entitled to obtain reimbursement from the Arrestee's Medical
12 Costs Fund to the extent moneys are available from the Fund.
13 To the extent that the person is reasonably able to pay for
14 that care, including reimbursement from any insurance program
15 or from other medical benefit programs available to the
16 person, he or she shall reimburse the county.
17 The county shall be entitled to a $10 fee for each
18 conviction or order of supervision for a criminal violation,
19 other than a petty offense or business offense. The fee
20 shall be taxed as costs to be collected from the defendant,
21 if possible, upon conviction or entry of an order of
22 supervision. The fee shall not be considered a part of the
23 fine for purposes of any reduction in the fine.
24 All such fees collected shall be deposited by the county
25 in a fund to be established and known as the Arrestee's
26 Medical Costs Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used solely
27 for reimbursement of costs for medical expenses relating to
28 the arrestee and administration of the Fund.
29 For the purposes of this Section, "arresting authority"
30 means a unit of local government, other than a county, which
31 employs peace officers and whose peace officers have made the
32 arrest of a person. For the purposes of this Section,
33 "medical expenses relating to the arrestee" means only those
34 expenses incurred for medical care or treatment provided to
HB1269 Enrolled -448- LRB9001000EGfg
1 an arrestee on account of an injury suffered by the arrestee
2 during the course of his arrest; the term does not include
3 any expenses incurred for medical care or treatment provided
4 to an arrestee on account of a health condition of the
5 arrestee which existed prior to the time of his arrest.

16 for each of the next 10 years of service as a police officer
17 or firefighter, and 2 3/4% for each year of service as a

1 duties of a police officer or firefighter, if these
2 duties were performed for at least 5 years immediately
3 preceding the date the retirement annuity is to begin.
4 (c) The maximum retirement annuity provided under Rules
5 1, 2, and 4 shall be the lesser of (1) the annual limit of
6 benefits as specified in Section 415 of the Internal Revenue
7 Code of 1986, as such Section may be amended from time to
8 time and as such benefit limits shall be adjusted by the
9 Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and (2) 75% of final rate
10 of earnings; however, this limitation of 75% of final rate of
11 earnings shall not apply to a person who is a participant or
12 annuitant on September 15, 1977 if it results in a retirement
13 annuity less than that which is payable to the annuitant or
14 which would have been payable to the participant under the
15 provisions of this Article in effect on June 30, 1977.
16 (d) An annuitant whose status as an employee terminates
17 after August 14, 1969 shall receive automatic increases in
18 his or her retirement annuity as follows:
19 Effective January 1 immediately following the date the
20 retirement annuity begins, the annuitant shall receive an
21 increase in his or her monthly retirement annuity of 0.125%
22 of the monthly retirement annuity provided under Rule 1, Rule
23 2, Rule 3, or Rule 4, contained in this Section, multiplied
24 by the number of full months which elapsed from the date the
25 retirement annuity payments began to January 1, 1972, plus
26 0.1667% of such annuity, multiplied by the number of full
27 months which elapsed from January 1, 1972, or the date the
28 retirement annuity payments began, whichever is later, to
29 January 1, 1978, plus 0.25% of such annuity multiplied by the
30 number of full months which elapsed from January 1, 1978, or
31 the date the retirement annuity payments began, whichever is
32 later, to the effective date of the increase.
33 The annuitant shall receive an increase in his or her
34 monthly retirement annuity on each January 1 thereafter
HB1269 Enrolled -484- LRB9001000EGfg
1 during the annuitant's life of 3% of the monthly annuity
2 provided under Rule 1, Rule 2, Rule 3, or Rule 4 contained in
3 this Section. The change made under this subsection by P.A.
4 81-970 is effective January 1, 1980 and applies to each
5 annuitant whose status as an employee terminates before or
6 after that date.
7 Beginning January 1, 1990, all automatic annual increases
8 payable under this Section shall be calculated as a
9 percentage of the total annuity payable at the time of the
10 increase, including all increases previously granted under
11 this Article. The change made in this subsection by P.A.
12 85-1008 is effective January 26, 1988, and is applicable
13 without regard to whether status as an employee terminated
14 before that date.
15 (e) If, on January 1, 1987, or the date the retirement
16 annuity payment period begins, whichever is later, the sum of
17 the retirement annuity provided under Rule 1 or Rule 2 of
18 this Section and the automatic annual increases provided
19 under the preceding subsection or Section 15-136.1, amounts
20 to less than the retirement annuity which would be provided
21 by Rule 3, the retirement annuity shall be increased as of
22 January 1, 1987, or the date the retirement annuity payment
23 period begins, whichever is later, to the amount which would
24 be provided by Rule 3 of this Section. Such increased amount
25 shall be considered as the retirement annuity in determining
26 benefits provided under other Sections of this Article. This
27 paragraph applies without regard to whether status as an
28 employee terminated before the effective date of this
29 amendatory Act of 1987, provided that the annuitant was
30 employed at least one-half time during the period on which
31 the final rate of earnings was based.
32 (f) A participant is entitled to such additional annuity
33 as may be provided on an actuarial equivalent basis, by any
34 accumulated additional contributions to his or her credit.
HB1269 Enrolled -485- LRB9001000EGfg
1 However, the additional contributions made by the participant
2 toward the automatic increases in annuity provided under this
3 Section shall not be taken into account in determining the
4 amount of such additional annuity.
5 (g) If, (1) by law, a function of a governmental unit,
6 as defined by Section 20-107 of this Code, is transferred in
7 whole or in part to an employer, and (2) a participant
8 transfers employment from such governmental unit to such
9 employer within 6 months after the transfer of the function,
10 and (3) the sum of (A) the annuity payable to the participant
11 under Rule 1, 2, or 3 of this Section (B) all proportional
12 annuities payable to the participant by all other retirement
13 systems covered by Article 20, and (C) the initial primary
14 insurance amount to which the participant is entitled under
15 the Social Security Act, is less than the retirement annuity
16 which would have been payable if all of the participant's
17 pension credits validated under Section 20-109 had been
18 validated under this system, a supplemental annuity equal to
19 the difference in such amounts shall be payable to the
20 participant.
21 (h) On January 1, 1981, an annuitant who was receiving a
22 retirement annuity on or before January 1, 1971 shall have
23 his or her retirement annuity then being paid increased $1
24 per month for each year of creditable service. On January 1,
25 1982, an annuitant whose retirement annuity began on or
26 before January 1, 1977, shall have his or her retirement
27 annuity then being paid increased $1 per month for each year
28 of creditable service.
29 (i) On January 1, 1987, any annuitant whose retirement
30 annuity began on or before January 1, 1977, shall have the
31 monthly retirement annuity increased by an amount equal to 8¢
32 per year of creditable service times the number of years that
33 have elapsed since the annuity began.

18 Sec. 5-1095. Community antenna television systems;
19 satellite transmitted television programming.
20 (a) The County Board may license, tax or franchise the
21 business of operating a community antenna television system
22 or systems within the County and outside of a municipality,
23 as defined in Section 1-1-2 of the Illinois Municipal Code.
24 When an area is annexed to a municipality, the annexing
25 municipality shall thereby become the franchising authority
26 with respect to that portion of any community antenna
27 television system that, immediately before annexation, had
28 provided cable television services within the annexed area
29 under a franchise granted by the county, and the owner of
30 that community antenna television system shall thereby be
31 authorized to provide cable television services within the
32 annexed area under the terms and provisions of the existing
33 franchise. In that instance, the franchise shall remain in
HB1269 Enrolled -497- LRB9001000EGfg
1 effect until, by its terms, it expires, except that any
2 franchise fees payable under the franchise shall be payable
3 only to the county for a period of 5 years or until, by its
4 terms, the franchise expires, whichever occurs first. After
5 the 5 year period, any franchise fees payable under the
6 franchise shall be paid to the annexing municipality. In any
7 instance in which a duly franchised community antenna
8 television system is providing cable television services
9 within the annexing municipality at the time of annexation,
10 the annexing municipality may permit that franchisee to
11 extend its community antenna television system to the annexed
12 area under terms and conditions that are no more burdensome
13 nor less favorable to that franchisee than those imposed
14 under any community antenna television franchise applicable
15 to the annexed area at the time of annexation. The
16 authorization to extend cable television service to the
17 annexed area and any community antenna television system
18 authorized to provide cable television services within the
19 annexed area at the time of annexation shall not be subject
20 to the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section.
21 (b) "Community antenna television system" as used in
22 this Section, means any facility which is constructed in
23 whole or in part in, on, under or over any highway or other
24 public place and which is operated to perform for hire the
25 service of receiving and amplifying the signals broadcast by
26 one or more television stations and redistributing such
27 signals by wire, cable or other means to members of the
28 public who subscribe to such service except that such term
29 does not include (i) any system which serves fewer than 50
30 subscribers or (ii) any system which serves only the
31 residents of one or more apartment dwellings under common
32 ownership, control or management, and commercial
33 establishments located on the premises of such dwellings.
34 (c) The authority hereby granted does not include the
HB1269 Enrolled -498- LRB9001000EGfg
1 authority to license or franchise telephone companies subject
2 to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission or
3 the Federal Communications Commission in connection with
4 furnishing circuits, wires, cables or other facilities to the
5 operator of a community antenna television system.
6 The County Board may, in the course of franchising such
7 community antenna television system, grant to such franchisee
8 the authority and the right and permission to use all public
9 streets, rights of way, alleys, ways for public service
10 facilities, parks, playgrounds, school grounds, or other
11 public grounds, in which such county may have an interest,
12 for the construction, installation, operation, maintenance,
13 alteration, addition, extension or improvement of a community
14 antenna television system.
15 Any charge imposed by a community antenna television
16 system franchised pursuant to this Section for the raising or
17 removal of cables or lines to permit passage on, to or from a
18 street shall not exceed the reasonable costs of work
19 reasonably necessary to safely permit such passage. Pursuant
20 to subsections (h) and (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
21 Constitution of the State of Illinois, the General Assembly
22 declares the regulation of charges which may be imposed by
23 community antenna television systems for the raising or
24 removal of cables or lines to permit passage on, to or from
25 streets is a power or function to be exercised exclusively by
26 the State and not to be exercised or performed concurrently
27 with the State by any unit of local government, including any
28 home rule unit.
29 The County Board may, upon written request by the
30 franchisee of a community antenna television system, exercise
31 its right of eminent domain solely for the purpose of
32 granting an easement right no greater than 8 feet in width,
33 extending no greater than 8 feet from any lot line for the
34 purpose of extending cable across any parcel of property in
HB1269 Enrolled -499- LRB9001000EGfg
1 the manner provided for by the law of eminent domain,
2 provided, however, such franchisee deposits with the county
3 sufficient security to pay all costs incurred by the county
4 in the exercise of its right of eminent domain.
5 Except as specifically provided otherwise in this
6 Section, this Section is not a limitation on any home rule
7 county.
8 (d) The General Assembly finds and declares that
9 satellite-transmitted television programming should be
10 available to those who desire to subscribe to such
11 programming and that decoding devices should be obtainable at
12 reasonable prices by those who are unable to obtain
13 satellite-transmitted television programming through duly
14 franchised community antenna television systems.
15 In any instance in which a person is unable to obtain
16 satellite-transmitted television programming through a duly
17 franchised community antenna television system either because
18 the municipality and county in which such person resides has
19 not granted a franchise to operate and maintain a community
20 antenna television system, or because the duly franchised
21 community antenna television system operator does not make
22 cable television services available to such person, any
23 programming company that delivers satellite-transmitted
24 television programming in scrambled or encrypted form shall
25 ensure that devices for decryption of such programming are
26 made available to such person, through the local community
27 antenna television operator or directly, for purchase or
28 lease at prices reasonably related to the cost of manufacture
29 and distribution of such devices.
30 (e) The General Assembly finds and declares that, in
31 order to ensure that community antenna television services
32 are provided in an orderly, competitive and economically
33 sound manner, the best interests of the public will be served
34 by the establishment of certain minimum standards and
HB1269 Enrolled -500- LRB9001000EGfg
1 procedures for the granting of additional cable television
2 franchises.
3 Subject to the provisions of this subsection, the
4 authority granted under subsection (a) hereof shall include
5 the authority to license, franchise and tax more than one
6 cable operator to provide community antenna television
7 services within the territorial limits of a single
8 franchising authority. For purposes of this subsection (e),
9 the term:
10 (i) "Existing cable television franchise" means a
11 community antenna television franchise granted by a
12 county which is in use at the time such county receives
13 an application or request by another cable operator for a
14 franchise to provide cable antenna television services
15 within all or any portion of the territorial area which
16 is or may be served under the existing cable television
17 franchise.
18 (ii) "Additional cable television franchise" means
19 a franchise pursuant to which community antenna
20 television services may be provided within the
21 territorial areas, or any portion thereof, which may be
22 served under an existing cable television franchise.
23 (iii) "Franchising Authority" is defined as that
24 term is defined under Section 602(9) of the Cable
25 Communications Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549.
26 (iv) "Cable operator" is defined as that term is
27 defined under Section 602(4) of the Cable Communications
28 Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549.
29 Before granting an additional cable television franchise,
30 the franchising authority shall:
31 (1) Give written notice to the owner or
32 operator of any other community antenna television
33 system franchised to serve all or any portion of the
34 territorial area to be served by such additional
HB1269 Enrolled -501- LRB9001000EGfg
1 cable television franchise, identifying the
2 applicant for such additional franchise and
3 specifying the date, time and place at which the
4 franchising authority shall conduct public hearings
5 to consider and determine whether such additional
6 cable television franchise should be granted.
7 (2) Conduct a public hearing to determine the
8 public need for such additional cable television
9 franchise, the capacity of public rights-of-way to
10 accommodate such additional community antenna
11 television services, the potential disruption to
12 existing users of public rights-of-way to be used by
13 such additional franchise applicant to complete
14 construction and to provide cable television
15 services within the proposed franchise area, the
16 long term economic impact of such additional cable
17 television system within the community, and such
18 other factors as the franchising authority shall
19 deem appropriate.
20 (3) Determine, based upon the foregoing
21 factors, whether it is in the best interest of the
22 county municipality to grant such additional cable
23 television franchise.
24 If the franchising authority shall determine that it is
25 in the best interest of the county municipality to do so, it
26 may grant the additional cable television franchise, provided
27 that no such additional cable television franchise shall be
28 granted under terms or conditions more favorable or less
29 burdensome to the applicant than those required under the
30 existing cable television franchise, including but not
31 limited to terms and conditions pertaining to the territorial
32 extent of the franchise, system design, technical performance
33 standards, construction schedules, performance bonds,
34 standards for construction and installation of cable
HB1269 Enrolled -502- LRB9001000EGfg
1 television facilities, service to subscribers, public
2 educational and governmental access channels and programming,
3 production assistance, liability and indemnification, and
4 franchise fees.
5 No county shall be subject to suit for damages based upon
6 the refusal to grant an additional cable television
7 franchise, provided that a public hearing as herein provided
8 has been held and the franchising authority has determined
9 that it is not in the best interest of the county to grant
10 such additional franchise.
11 It is declared to be the law of this State, pursuant to
12 paragraphs (h) and (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
13 Illinois Constitution, that the establishment of minimum
14 standards and procedures for the granting of additional cable
15 television franchises as provided in this subsection (e) is
16 an exclusive State power and function that may not be
17 exercised concurrently by a home rule unit.

22 of 500,000 and fewer than 3 million inhabitants, and outside
23 any city, village or incorporated town, which are identified
24 as "Special Flood Hazard Areas" under the terms and
25 provisions of any ordinance adopted under this Division, the
26 unauthorized excavation or filling of such an area by any
27 person shall cause the county board to apply to the circuit
28 court in that county for an order to remove the fill and
29 restore the parcel to its natural elevation in order to
30 lessen or avoid the imminent threat to the public health,
31 safety or welfare and damage to property resulting from the
32 accumulation or run-off of storm or flood waters. Where,

6 to the circuit court shall be expedited by the court and
7 given precedence over all other suits. The cost of removal
8 or restoration incurred by the county board is recoverable
9 from the owner of such real estate and is a lien thereon,
10 which lien is superior to all prior existing liens and
11 encumbrances, except taxes; provided that within 60 days
12 after such removal of fill or restoration of the parcel to
13 its natural elevation, the county board shall file notice of
14 or lien for such cost and expense incurred in the office of
15 the recorder of the county. The notice must consist of a
16 sworn statement setting out (1) a description of the real
17 estate sufficient for identification thereof, (2) the amount
18 of money representing the cost and expense incurred, and (3)
19 the date on which the cost was incurred by the county. Upon
20 payment of the costs and expenses by the owner or persons
21 interested in the property, the lien shall be released by the
22 county in whose name the lien has been filed and the release
23 may be filed of record. The lien may be enforced by
24 proceedings of foreclosure as in the case of mortgages or
25 mechanics' liens, which action must be commenced within 3
26 years after the date of filing notice of lien.

7 a waiver contained in the contract shall apply to
8 all members of the group unless stated otherwise in
9 the contract.
10 (3) Every adverse medical staff membership and
11 clinical privilege decision based substantially on
12 economic factors shall be reported to the Hospital
13 Licensing Board before the decision takes effect. These
14 reports shall not be disclosed in any form that reveals
15 the identity of any hospital or physician. These reports

6 order enforcing compliance with this Section. Upon filing of
7 a verified petition in such court, the court may issue a

30 deem proper.
31 In case the accused person, after receiving notice fails
32 to file an answer, his license may, in the discretion of the
33 Director having received the recommendation of the Board, be
34 suspended, revoked, placed on probationary status or the
HB1269 Enrolled -537- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Director may take whatever disciplinary action as he may deem
2 proper including limiting the scope, nature or extent of the

10 Sec. 4-1.1. Child age eligibility. The child or children
11 must have already been born, except as otherwise provided in
12 this Section, and be under age 18. If federal law permits or
13 requires the inclusion of any children age 18 or over in the
14 Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program under the
15 Social Security Act, the Illinois Department may provide for
16 the inclusion of such children by rule. Notwithstanding any
17 other provision of anything in this Section, if federal law
18 prohibits federal reimbursement for any children under age
19 18, such children shall not be eligible for aid under this
20 Article.
21 Grants shall be provided for assistance units consisting
22 exclusively of a pregnant woman with no dependent child, if
23 the pregnancy has been determined by medical diagnosis, to
24 the extent that federal law permits and federal matching

5 (325 ILCS 5/8.2) (from Ch. 23, par. 2058.2)
6 Sec. 8.2. If the Child Protective Service Unit
7 determines, following an investigation made pursuant to
8 Section 7.4 of this Act, that there is credible evidence that
9 the child is abused or neglected, the Department shall assess
10 the family's need for services, and, as necessary, develop,
11 with the family, an appropriate service plan for the family's
12 voluntary acceptance or refusal. In any case where there is
13 evidence that the perpetrator of the abuse or neglect is an
14 addict or alcoholic as defined in the Alcoholism and Other
15 Drug Abuse and Dependency Act, the Department, when making
16 referrals for drug or alcohol abuse services, shall make such
17 referrals to facilities licensed by the Department of Human
18 Services or the Department of Public Health. The Department
19 shall comply with Section 8.1 by explaining its lack of legal
20 authority to compel the acceptance of services and may

6 assistance and advocacy" includes coordinated services to
7 secure emergency cash, food, housing and medical assistance
8 or advocacy for other subsistence and family protective
9 needs.
10 Before July 1, 2000, appropriate family preservation
11 services shall, subject to appropriation, be included in the
12 service plan if the Department has determined that those
13 services are in the child's best interests and when the child
14 will not be in imminent risk of harm. Beginning July 1,
15 2000, appropriate family preservation services shall be
16 uniformly available throughout the State. The Department

29 the Department shall give preference to the proposal from the
30 not-for-profit agency.
31 No service plan shall compel any child or parent to

11 Section 3-130. The Environmental Protection Act is
12 amended by changing Sections 14.2, 39.5, and 55.8 as follows:
13 (415 ILCS 5/14.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1014.2)
14 Sec. 14.2. A minimum setback zone is established for the
15 location of each new potential source or new potential route
16 as follows:
17 (a) Except as provided in subsections (b), (c) and (h)
18 of this Section, no new potential route or potential primary
19 source or potential secondary source may be placed within 200
20 feet of any existing or permitted community water supply well
21 or other potable water supply well.
22 (b) The owner of a new potential primary source or a
23 potential secondary source or a potential route may secure a
24 waiver from the requirement of subsection (a) of this Section
25 for a potable water supply well other than a community water
26 supply well. A written request for a waiver shall be made to
27 the owner of the water well and the Agency. Such request
28 shall identify the new or proposed potential source or
29 potential route, shall generally describe the possible effect
30 of such potential source or potential route upon the water
31 well and any applicable technology-based controls which will
32 be utilized to minimize the potential for contamination, and
HB1269 Enrolled -544- LRB9001000EGfg
1 shall state whether, and under what conditions, the requestor
2 will provide an alternative potable water supply. Waiver may
3 be granted by the owner of the water well no less than 90
4 days after receipt of the request unless prior to such time
5 the Agency notifies the well owner that it does not concur
6 with the request.
7 The Agency shall not concur with any such request which
8 fails to accurately describe reasonably foreseeable effects
9 of the potential source or potential route upon the water
10 well or any applicable technology-based controls. Such
11 notification by the Agency shall be in writing, and shall
12 include a statement of reasons for the nonconcurrence. Waiver
13 of the minimum setback zone established under subsection (a)
14 of this Section shall extinguish the water well owner's
15 rights under Section 6b of the Illinois Water Well
16 Construction Code but shall not preclude enforcement of any
17 law regarding water pollution. If the owner of the water
18 well has not granted a waiver within 120 days after receipt
19 of the request or the Agency has notified the owner that it
20 does not concur with the request, the owner of a potential
21 source or potential route may file a petition for an
22 exception with the Board and the Agency pursuant to
23 subsection (c) of this Section.
24 No waiver under this Section is required where the
25 potable water supply well is part of a private water system
26 as defined in the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act, and
27 the owner of such well will also be the owner of a new
28 potential secondary source or a potential route. In such
29 instances, a prohibition of 75 feet shall apply and the owner
30 shall notify the Agency of the intended action so that the
31 Agency may provide information regarding the potential
32 hazards associated with location of a potential secondary
33 source or potential route in close proximity to a potable
34 water supply well.
HB1269 Enrolled -545- LRB9001000EGfg
1 (c) The Board may grant an exception from the setback
2 requirements of this Section and subsection (e) of Section
3 14.3 to the owner of a new potential route, a new potential
4 primary source other than landfilling or land treating, or a
5 new potential secondary source. The owner seeking an
6 exception with respect to a community water supply well shall
7 file a petition with the Board and the Agency. The owner
8 seeking an exception with respect to a potable water supply
9 well other than a community water supply well shall file a
10 petition with the Board and the Agency, and set forth therein
11 the circumstances under which a waiver has been sought but
12 not obtained pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. A
13 petition shall be accompanied by proof that the owner of each
14 potable water supply well for which setback requirements
15 would be affected by the requested exception has been
16 notified and been provided with a copy of the petition. A
17 petition shall set forth such facts as may be required to
18 support an exception, including a general description of the
19 potential impacts of such potential source or potential route
20 upon groundwaters and the affected water well, and an
21 explanation of the applicable technology-based controls which
22 will be utilized to minimize the potential for contamination
23 of the potable water supply well.
24 The Board shall grant an exception, whenever it is found
25 upon presentation of adequate proof, that compliance with the
26 setback requirements of this Section would pose an arbitrary
27 and unreasonable hardship upon the petitioner, that the
28 petitioner will utilize the best available technology
29 controls economically achievable to minimize the likelihood
30 of contamination of the potable water supply well, that the
31 maximum feasible alternative setback will be utilized, and
32 that the location of such potential source or potential route
33 will not constitute a significant hazard to the potable water
34 supply well.
HB1269 Enrolled -546- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Not later than January 1, 1988, the Board shall adopt
2 procedural rules governing requests for exceptions under this
3 subsection. The rulemaking provisions of Title VII of this
4 Act and of Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative
5 Procedure Act shall not apply to such rules. A decision made
6 by the Board pursuant to this subsection shall constitute a
7 final determination.
8 The granting of an exception by the Board shall not
9 extinguish the water well owner's rights under Section 6b of
10 the Illinois Water Well Construction Code in instances where
11 the owner has elected not to provide a waiver pursuant to
12 subsection (b) of this Section.
13 (d) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (h) of
14 this Section and Section 14.5, no new potential route or
15 potential primary source or potential secondary source may be
16 placed within 400 feet of any existing or permitted community
17 water supply well deriving water from an unconfined shallow
18 fractured or highly permeable bedrock formation or from an
19 unconsolidated and unconfined sand and gravel formation. The
20 Agency shall notify, not later than January 1, 1988, the
21 owner and operator of each existing well which is afforded
22 this setback protection and shall maintain a directory of all
23 community water supply wells to which the 400 foot minimum
24 setback zone applies.
25 (e) The minimum setback zones established under
26 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall not apply to
27 new common sources of sanitary pollution as specified
28 pursuant to Section 17 and the regulations adopted thereunder
29 by the Agency; however, no such common sources may be located
30 within the applicable minimum distance from a community water
31 supply well specified by such regulations.
32 (f) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
33 limiting the power of any county or municipality to adopt
34 ordinances which are consistent with but not more stringent
HB1269 Enrolled -547- LRB9001000EGfg
1 than the prohibitions herein.
2 (g) Nothing in this Section shall preclude any
3 arrangement under which the owner or operator of a new source
4 or route does the following:
5 (1) purchases an existing water supply well and
6 attendant property with the intent of eventually
7 abandoning or totally removing the well;
8 (2) replaces an existing water supply well with a
9 new water supply of substantially equivalent quality and
10 quantity as a precondition to locating or constructing
11 such source or route;
12 (3) implements any other arrangement which is
13 mutually agreeable with the owner of a water supply well;
14 or
15 (4) modifies the on-site storage capacity at an
16 agrichemical facility such that the volume of pesticide
17 storage does not exceed 125% of the available capacity in
18 existence on April 1, 1990, or the volume of fertilizer
19 storage does not exceed 150% of the available capacity in
20 existence on April 1, 1990; provided that a written
21 endorsement for an agrichemical facility permit is in
22 effect under Section 39.4 of this Act and the maximum
23 feasible setback is maintained. This on-site storage
24 capacity includes mini-bulk pesticides, package
25 agrichemical storage areas, liquid or dry fertilizers,
26 and liquid or dry pesticides.
27 (h) A new potential route, which is an excavation for
28 stone, sand or gravel and which becomes active on lands which
29 were acquired or were being held as mineral reserves prior to
30 September 24, 1987 the effective date of this amendatory Act
31 of 1988 of 1987, shall only be subject to the setback

12 the owner or operator of a source has met the
13 requirements for exclusion pursuant to paragraph (a) of
14 this subsection and other applicable requirements for
15 permit issuance under Section 39(a) of this Act, the
16 Agency shall issue a State operating permit for such
17 source under Section 39(a) of this Act, as amended, and
18 regulations promulgated thereunder with federally
19 enforceable conditions limiting the "potential to emit"
20 of the source to a level below the major source threshold
21 for that source as described in paragraph 2(c) of this
22 Section.
23 d. The Agency shall provide an owner or operator of
24 a source which may be excluded from the CAAPP pursuant to
25 this subsection with reasonable notice that the owner or
26 operator may seek such exclusion.
27 e. The Agency shall provide such sources with the
28 necessary permit application forms.

21 4. Transition.
22 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not
23 be required to renew an existing State operating permit
24 for any emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
25 application timely submitted prior to expiration of the
26 State operating permit has been deemed complete. For
27 purposes other than permit renewal, the obligation upon
28 the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
29 operating permit is not removed upon submittal of the
30 complete CAAPP permit application. An owner or operator
31 of a CAAPP source seeking to make a modification to a
32 source prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
33 required to obtain a construction and/or operating permit
34 as required for such modification in accordance with the
HB1269 Enrolled -564- LRB9001000EGfg
1 State permit program under Section 39(a) of this Act, as
2 amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder. The
3 application for such construction and/or operating permit
4 shall be considered an amendment to the CAAPP application
5 submitted for such source.
6 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
7 continue to operate in accordance with the terms and
8 conditions of its applicable State operating permit
9 notwithstanding the expiration of the State operating
10 permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
11 c. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
12 submit its initial CAAPP application to the Agency no
13 later than 12 months after the effective date of the
14 CAAPP. The Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP
15 applications during this 12 month period according to a
16 schedule set forth within Agency procedures, however, in
17 no event shall the Agency require such submittal earlier
18 than 3 months after such effective date of the CAAPP. An
19 owner or operator may voluntarily submit its initial
20 CAAPP application prior to the date required within this
21 paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
22 the date the Agency submits the CAAPP to USEPA for
23 approval.
24 d. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP
25 applications in accordance with subsection 5(j) of this
26 Section.
27 e. For purposes of this Section, the term "initial
28 CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
29 submitted for a source existing as of the effective date
30 of the CAAPP.
31 f. The Agency shall provide owners or operators of
32 CAAPP sources with at least three months advance notice
33 of the date on which their applications are required to
34 be submitted. In determining which sources shall be
HB1269 Enrolled -565- LRB9001000EGfg
1 subject to early submittal, the Agency shall include
2 among its considerations the complexity of the permit
3 application, and the burden that such early submittal
4 will have on the source.
5 g. The CAAPP permit shall upon becoming effective
6 supersede the State operating permit.
7 h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
8 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
9 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
10 necessary, to implement this subsection.
11 5. Applications and Completeness.
12 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
13 submit its complete CAAPP application consistent with the
14 Act and applicable regulations.
15 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
16 submit a single complete CAAPP application covering all
17 emission units at that source.
18 c. To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
19 provide all information, as requested in Agency
20 application forms, sufficient to evaluate the subject
21 source and its application and to determine all
22 applicable requirements, pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
23 and regulations thereunder, this Act and regulations
24 thereunder. Such Agency application forms shall be
25 finalized and made available prior to the date on which
26 any CAAPP application is required.
27 d. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
28 submit, as part of its complete CAAPP application, a
29 compliance plan, including a schedule of compliance,
30 describing how each emission unit will comply with all
31 applicable requirements. Any such schedule of compliance
32 shall be supplemental to, and shall not sanction
33 noncompliance with, the applicable requirements on which
34 it is based.
HB1269 Enrolled -566- LRB9001000EGfg
1 e. Each submitted CAAPP application shall be
2 certified for truth, accuracy, and completeness by a
3 responsible official in accordance with applicable
4 regulations.
5 f. The Agency shall provide notice to a CAAPP
6 applicant as to whether a submitted CAAPP application is
7 complete. Unless the Agency notifies the applicant of
8 incompleteness, within 60 days of receipt of the CAAPP
9 application, the application shall be deemed complete.
10 The Agency may request additional information as needed
11 to make the completeness determination. The Agency may
12 to the extent practicable provide the applicant with a
13 reasonable opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a
14 final determination of completeness.
15 g. If after the determination of completeness the
16 Agency finds that additional information is necessary to
17 evaluate or take final action on the CAAPP application,
18 the Agency may request in writing such information from
19 the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
20 h. If the owner or operator of a CAAPP source
21 submits a timely and complete CAAPP application, the
22 source's failure to have a CAAPP permit shall not be a
23 violation of this Section until the Agency takes final
24 action on the submitted CAAPP application, provided,
25 however, where the applicant fails to submit the
26 requested information under paragraph 5(g) within the
27 time frame specified by the Agency, this protection shall
28 cease to apply.
29 i. Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant
30 facts necessary to evaluate the subject source and its
31 CAAPP application or who has submitted incorrect
32 information in a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming
33 aware of such failure or incorrect submittal, submit
34 supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
HB1269 Enrolled -567- LRB9001000EGfg
1 In addition, an applicant shall provide to the Agency
2 additional information as necessary to address any
3 requirements which become applicable to the source
4 subsequent to the date the applicant submitted its
5 complete CAAPP application but prior to release of the
6 draft CAAPP permit.
7 j. The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
8 within 18 months after the date of receipt of the
9 complete CAAPP application, with the following
10 exceptions: (i) permits for affected sources for acid
11 deposition shall be issued or denied within 6 months
12 after receipt of a complete application in accordance
13 with subsection 17 of this Section; (ii) the Agency shall
14 act on initial CAAPP applications within 24 months after
15 the date of receipt of the complete CAAPP application;
16 (iii) the Agency shall act on complete applications
17 containing early reduction demonstrations under Section
18 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act within 9 months of receipt
19 of the complete CAAPP application.
20 Where the Agency does not take final action on the
21 permit within the required time period, the permit shall
22 not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
23 treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
24 review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
25 k. The submittal of a complete CAAPP application
26 shall not affect the requirement that any source have a
27 preconstruction permit under Title I of the Clean Air
28 Act.
29 l. Unless a timely and complete renewal application
30 has been submitted consistent with this subsection, a
31 CAAPP source operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP
32 permit shall be deemed to be operating without a CAAPP
33 permit. Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
34 m. Permits being renewed shall be subject to the
HB1269 Enrolled -568- LRB9001000EGfg
1 same procedural requirements, including those for public
2 participation and federal review and objection, that
3 apply to original permit issuance.
4 n. For purposes of permit renewal, a timely
5 application is one that is submitted no less than 9

10 has been submitted.
11 p. The owner or operator of a CAAPP source seeking
12 a permit shield pursuant to paragraph 7(j) of this
13 Section shall request such permit shield in the CAAPP
14 application regarding that source.
15 q. The Agency shall make available to the public
16 all documents submitted by the applicant to the Agency,
17 including each CAAPP application, compliance plan
18 (including the schedule of compliance), and emissions or
19 compliance monitoring report, with the exception of
20 information entitled to confidential treatment pursuant
21 to Section 7 of this Act.
22 r. The Agency shall use the standardized forms
23 required under Title IV of the Clean Air Act and

2 emissions exceeding any allowances that the source
3 lawfully holds under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or the
4 regulations promulgated thereunder, consistent with
5 subsection 17 of this Section and applicable regulations,
6 if any.
7 h. All CAAPP permits shall state that, where
8 another applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act is
9 more stringent than any applicable requirement of
10 regulations promulgated under Title IV of the Clean Air
11 Act, both provisions shall be incorporated into the
12 permit and shall be State and federally enforceable.
13 i. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
14 this Section shall include a severability clause to
15 ensure the continued validity of the various permit
16 requirements in the event of a challenge to any portions
17 of the permit.
18 j. The following shall apply with respect to owners
19 or operators requesting a permit shield:
20 i. The Agency shall include in a CAAPP permit,
21 when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
22 5(p) of this Section, a provision stating that
23 compliance with the conditions of the permit shall
24 be deemed compliance with applicable requirements
25 which are applicable as of the date of release of
26 the proposed permit, provided that:
27 A. The applicable requirement is
28 specifically identified within the permit; or
29 B. The Agency in acting on the CAAPP
30 application or revision determines in writing
31 that other requirements specifically identified
32 are not applicable to the source, and the
33 permit includes that determination or a concise
34 summary thereof.
HB1269 Enrolled -575- LRB9001000EGfg
1 ii. The permit shall identify the requirements
2 for which the source is shielded. The shield shall
3 not extend to applicable requirements which are
4 promulgated after the date of release of the
5 proposed permit unless the permit has been modified
6 to reflect such new requirements.
7 iii. A CAAPP permit which does not expressly
8 indicate the existence of a permit shield shall not
9 provide such a shield.
10 iv. Nothing in this paragraph or in a CAAPP
11 permit shall alter or affect the following:
12 A. The provisions of Section 303
13 (emergency powers) of the Clean Air Act,
14 including USEPA's authority under that section.
15 B. The liability of an owner or operator
16 of a source for any violation of applicable
17 requirements prior to or at the time of permit
18 issuance.

26 k. Each CAAPP permit shall include an emergency
27 provision providing an affirmative defense of emergency
28 to an action brought for noncompliance with
29 technology-based emission limitations under a CAAPP
30 permit if the following conditions are met through
31 properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
32 relevant evidence:
33 i. An emergency occurred and the permittee can
34 identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
HB1269 Enrolled -576- LRB9001000EGfg
1 ii. The permitted facility was at the time
2 being properly operated.
3 iii. The permittee submitted notice of the
4 emergency to the Agency within 2 working days of the
5 time when emission limitations were exceeded due to
6 the emergency. This notice must contain a detailed
7 description of the emergency, any steps taken to
8 mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
9 iv. During the period of the emergency the
10 permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize
11 levels of emissions that exceeded the emission
12 limitations, standards, or requirements in the
13 permit.
14 For purposes of this subsection, "emergency" means
15 any situation arising from sudden and reasonably
16 unforeseeable events beyond the control of the source,
17 such as an act of God, that requires immediate corrective
18 action to restore normal operation, and that causes the
19 source to exceed a technology-based emission limitation
20 under the permit, due to unavoidable increases in
21 emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency
22 shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by
23 improperly designed equipment, lack of preventative
24 maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operation
25 error.
26 In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee
27 seeking to establish the occurrence of an emergency has
28 the burden of proof. This provision is in addition to
29 any emergency or upset provision contained in any
30 applicable requirement. This provision does not relieve
31 a permittee of any reporting obligations under existing
32 federal or state laws or regulations.
33 l. The Agency shall include in each permit issued
34 under subsection 10 of this Section:
HB1269 Enrolled -577- LRB9001000EGfg
1 i. Terms and conditions for reasonably
2 anticipated operating scenarios identified by the
3 source in its application. The permit terms and
4 conditions for each such operating scenario shall
5 meet all applicable requirements and the
6 requirements of this Section.
7 A. Under this subparagraph, the source
8 must record in a log at the permitted facility
9 a record of the scenario under which it is
10 operating contemporaneously with making a
11 change from one operating scenario to another.
12 B. The permit shield described in
13 paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall extend to
14 all terms and conditions under each such
15 operating scenario.
16 ii. Where requested by an applicant, all terms
17 and conditions allowing for trading of emissions
18 increases and decreases between different emission
19 units at the CAAPP source, to the extent that the
20 applicable requirements provide for trading of such
21 emissions increases and decreases without a
22 case-by-case approval of each emissions trade. Such
23 terms and conditions:
24 A. Shall include all terms required under
25 this subsection to determine compliance;
26 B. Must meet all applicable requirements;
27 C. Shall extend the permit shield
28 described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section to
29 all terms and conditions that allow such
30 increases and decreases in emissions.
31 m. The Agency shall specifically designate as not
32 being federally enforceable under the Clean Air Act any
33 terms and conditions included in the permit that are not
34 specifically required under the Clean Air Act or federal
HB1269 Enrolled -578- LRB9001000EGfg
1 regulations promulgated thereunder. Terms or conditions
2 so designated shall be subject to all applicable state
3 requirements, except the requirements of subsection 7
4 (other than this paragraph, paragraph q of subsection 7,
5 subsections 8 through 11, and subsections 13 through 16
6 of this Section. The Agency shall, however, include such
7 terms and conditions in the CAAPP permit issued to the
8 source.
9 n. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
10 this Section shall specify and reference the origin of
11 and authority for each term or condition, and identify
12 any difference in form as compared to the applicable
13 requirement upon which the term or condition is based.
14 o. Each CAAPP permit issued under subsection 10 of
15 this Section shall include provisions stating the
16 following:
17 i. Duty to comply. The permittee must comply
18 with all terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit.
19 Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of
20 the Clean Air Act and the Act, and is grounds for
21 any or all of the following: enforcement action;
22 permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or
23 modification; or denial of a permit renewal
24 application.
25 ii. Need to halt or reduce activity not a
26 defense. It shall not be a defense for a permittee
27 in an enforcement action that it would have been
28 necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity
29 in order to maintain compliance with the conditions
30 of this permit.
31 iii. Permit actions. The permit may be
32 modified, revoked, reopened, and reissued, or
33 terminated for cause in accordance with the
34 applicable subsections of Section 39.5 of this Act.
HB1269 Enrolled -579- LRB9001000EGfg
1 The filing of a request by the permittee for a
2 permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or
3 termination, or of a notification of planned changes
4 or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any
5 permit condition.
6 iv. Property rights. The permit does not
7 convey any property rights of any sort, or any
8 exclusive privilege.
9 v. Duty to provide information. The permittee
10 shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
11 specified by the Agency any information that the
12 Agency may request in writing to determine whether
13 cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing,
14 or terminating the permit or to determine compliance
15 with the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall
16 also furnish to the Agency copies of records
17 required to be kept by the permit or, for
18 information claimed to be confidential, the
19 permittee may furnish such records directly to USEPA
20 along with a claim of confidentiality.
21 vi. Duty to pay fees. The permittee must pay
22 fees to the Agency consistent with the fee schedule
23 approved pursuant to subsection 18 of this Section,
24 and submit any information relevant thereto.
25 vii. Emissions trading. No permit revision
26 shall be required for increases in emissions allowed
27 under any approved economic incentives, marketable
28 permits, emissions trading, and other similar
29 programs or processes for changes that are provided
30 for in the permit and that are authorized by the
31 applicable requirement.

26 reasons for not accepting the recommendations. The
27 Agency is not required to accept recommendations that are
28 not based on applicable requirements or the requirements
29 of this Section.
30 e. The Agency shall make available to the public
31 any CAAPP permit application, compliance plan (including
32 the schedule of compliance), CAAPP permit, and emissions
33 or compliance monitoring report. If an owner or operator
34 of a CAAPP source is required to submit information
HB1269 Enrolled -584- LRB9001000EGfg
1 entitled to protection from disclosure under Section 7(a)
2 or Section 7.1 of this Act, the owner or operator shall
3 submit such information separately. The requirements of
4 Section 7(a) or Section 7.1 of this Act shall apply to
5 such information, which shall not be included in a CAAPP
6 permit unless required by law. The contents of a CAAPP
7 permit shall not be entitled to protection under Section

9 f. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
10 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
11 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
12 necessary, to implement this subsection.
13 9. USEPA Notice and Objection.
14 a. The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review
15 a copy of each CAAPP application (including any
16 application for permit modification), statement of basis
17 as provided in paragraph 8(b) of this Section, proposed
18 CAAPP permit, CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
19 incorporate any affected State's recommendations on a
20 proposed CAAPP permit, a written statement of this
21 decision and its reasons for not accepting the
22 recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
23 or by agreement with USEPA. To the extent practicable,
24 the preceding information shall be provided in computer
25 readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
26 management system.
27 b. The Agency shall not issue the proposed CAAPP
28 permit if USEPA objects in writing within 45 days of
29 receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary
30 supporting information.
31 c. If USEPA objects in writing to the issuance of
32 the proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the
33 Agency shall respond in writing and may revise and
34 resubmit the proposed CAAPP permit in response to the
HB1269 Enrolled -585- LRB9001000EGfg
1 stated objection, to the extent supported by the record,
2 within 90 days after the date of the objection. Prior to
3 submitting a revised permit to USEPA, the Agency shall
4 provide the applicant and any person who participated in
5 the public comment process, pursuant to subsection 8 of
6 this Section, with a 10-day period to comment on any
7 revision which the Agency is proposing to make to the
8 permit in response to USEPA's objection in accordance
9 with Agency procedures.
10 d. Any USEPA objection under this subsection,
11 according to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement
12 of reasons for the objection and a description of the
13 terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
14 to adequately respond to the objections. Grounds for a
15 USEPA objection include the failure of the Agency to:
16 (1) submit the items and notices required under this
17 subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
18 adequately review the proposed CAAPP permit; or (3)
19 process the permit under subsection 8 of this Section
20 except for minor permit modifications.
21 e. If USEPA does not object in writing to issuance
22 of a permit under this subsection, any person may
23 petition USEPA within 60 days after expiration of the
24 45-day review period to make such objection.
25 f. If the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA
26 objects to the permit as a result of a petition, the
27 Agency shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection
28 has been resolved. The Agency shall provide a 10-day
29 comment period in accordance with paragraph c of this
30 subsection. A petition does not, however, stay the
31 effectiveness of a permit or its requirements if the
32 permit was issued after expiration of the 45-day review
33 period and prior to a USEPA objection.
34 g. If the Agency has issued a permit after
HB1269 Enrolled -586- LRB9001000EGfg
1 expiration of the 45-day review period and prior to
2 receipt of a USEPA objection under this subsection in
3 response to a petition submitted pursuant to paragraph e
4 of this subsection, the Agency may, upon receipt of an
5 objection from USEPA, revise and resubmit the permit to
6 USEPA pursuant to this subsection after providing a
7 10-day comment period in accordance with paragraph c of
8 this subsection. If the Agency fails to submit a revised

10 terminate or revoke the permit. In any case, the source
11 will not be in violation of the requirement to have
12 submitted a timely and complete application.
13 h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
14 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
15 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
16 necessary, to implement this subsection.
17 10. Final Agency Action.

26 specify an appropriate date by which the applicant
27 shall adequately respond to the Agency's notice.
28 Such date shall not exceed 15 days from the date the
29 notification is received by the applicant. The
30 Agency may grant a reasonable extension for good
31 cause shown.
32 iii. Failure by the applicant to adequately
33 respond by the date specified in the notification or
34 by any granted extension date shall be grounds for
HB1269 Enrolled -588- LRB9001000EGfg
1 denial of the permit.
2 For purposes of obtaining judicial review under
3 Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, the Agency shall
4 provide to USEPA and each applicant, and, upon
5 request, to affected States, any person who
6 participated in the public comment process, and any
7 other person who could obtain judicial review under
8 Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act, a copy of each

34 general permit, the Agency shall not be required to
HB1269 Enrolled -589- LRB9001000EGfg
1 repeat the public notice and comment procedures. The
2 granting of such request shall not be considered a final
3 permit action for purposes of judicial review.
4 f. The Agency may not issue a general permit to
5 cover any discrete emission unit at a CAAPP source if
6 another CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
7 g. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
8 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
9 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
10 necessary, to implement this subsection.
11 12. Operational Flexibility.
12 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
13 changes at the CAAPP source without requiring a prior
14 permit revision, consistent with subparagraphs (a) (i)
15 through (a) (iii) of this subsection, so long as the
16 changes are not modifications under any provision of
17 Title I of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the
18 emissions allowable under the permit (whether expressed
19 therein as a rate of emissions or in terms of total
20 emissions), provided that the owner or operator of the
21 CAAPP source provides USEPA and the Agency with written
22 notification as required below in advance of the proposed
23 changes, which shall be a minimum of 7 days, unless
24 otherwise provided by the Agency in applicable
25 regulations regarding emergencies. The owner or operator
26 of a CAAPP source and the Agency shall each attach such
27 notice to their copy of the relevant permit.
28 i. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may
29 make Section 502 (b) (10) changes without a permit
30 revision, if the changes are not modifications under
31 any provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act and
32 the changes do not exceed the emissions allowable
33 under the permit (whether expressed therein as a
34 rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions).
HB1269 Enrolled -590- LRB9001000EGfg
1 A. For each such change, the written
2 notification required above shall include a
3 brief description of the change within the
4 source, the date on which the change will
5 occur, any change in emissions, and any permit
6 term or condition that is no longer applicable

18 already provide for such emissions trading.
19 A. Under this subparagraph (a)(ii), the
20 written notification required above shall
21 include such information as may be required by
22 the provision in the applicable implementation
23 plan authorizing the emissions trade, including
24 at a minimum, when the proposed changes will
25 occur, a description of each such change, any
26 change in emissions, the permit requirements
27 with which the source will comply using the
28 emissions trading provisions of the applicable
29 implementation plan, and the pollutants emitted
30 subject to the emissions trade. The notice
31 shall also refer to the provisions in the
32 applicable implementation plan with which the
33 source will comply and provide for the
34 emissions trade.

1 B. The permit shield described in
2 paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall not apply
3 to any change made pursuant to this
4 subparagraph (a) (ii). Compliance with the
5 permit requirements that the source will meet
6 using the emissions trade shall be determined
7 according to the requirements of the applicable
8 implementation plan authorizing the emissions
9 trade.
10 iii. If requested within a CAAPP application,
11 the Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains
12 terms and conditions, including all terms required
13 under subsection 7 of this Section to determine
14 compliance, allowing for the trading of emissions
15 increases and decreases at the CAAPP source solely
16 for the purpose of complying with a
17 federally-enforceable emissions cap that is
18 established in the permit independent of otherwise
19 applicable requirements. The owner or operator of a
20 CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP application
21 proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
22 ensure the emissions trades are quantifiable and
23 enforceable. The permit shall also require
24 compliance with all applicable requirements.
25 A. Under this subparagraph (a)(iii), the
26 written notification required above shall state
27 when the change will occur and shall describe
28 the changes in emissions that will result and
29 how these increases and decreases in emissions
30 will comply with the terms and conditions of
31 the permit.
32 B. The permit shield described in
33 paragraph 7(j) of this Section shall extend to
34 terms and conditions that allow such increases
HB1269 Enrolled -592- LRB9001000EGfg
1 and decreases in emissions.
2 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
3 changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the
4 permit, other than those which are subject to any
5 requirements under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are
6 modifications under any provisions of Title I of the
7 Clean Air Act, without a permit revision, in accordance
8 with the following requirements:
9 (i) Each such change shall meet all applicable
10 requirements and shall not violate any existing
11 permit term or condition;
12 (ii) Sources must provide contemporaneous
13 written notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such
14 change, except for changes that qualify as
15 insignificant under provisions adopted by the Agency
16 or the Board. Such written notice shall describe
17 each such change, including the date, any change in
18 emissions, pollutants emitted, and any applicable
19 requirement that would apply as a result of the
20 change;
21 (iii) The change shall not qualify for the
22 shield described in paragraph 7(j) of this Section;
23 and
24 (iv) The permittee shall keep a record
25 describing changes made at the source that result in
26 emissions of a regulated air pollutant subject to an
27 applicable Clean Air Act requirement, but not
28 otherwise regulated under the permit, and the
29 emissions resulting from those changes.
30 c. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
31 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
32 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
33 necessary to implement this subsection.
34 13. Administrative Permit Amendments.
HB1269 Enrolled -593- LRB9001000EGfg
1 a. The Agency shall take final action on a request
2 for an administrative permit amendment within 60 days of
3 receipt of the request. Neither notice nor an

13 changes described below:
14 i. Corrects typographical errors;
15 ii. Identifies a change in the name, address,
16 or phone number of any person identified in the
17 permit, or provides a similar minor administrative
18 change at the source;
19 iii. Requires more frequent monitoring or
20 reporting by the permittee;
21 iv. Allows for a change in ownership or
22 operational control of a source where the Agency
23 determines that no other change in the permit is

25 containing a specific date for transfer of permit
26 responsibility, coverage, and liability between the
27 current and new permittees has been submitted to the
28 Agency;
29 v. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit the
30 requirements from preconstruction review permits
31 authorized under a USEPA-approved program, provided
32 the program meets procedural and compliance
33 requirements substantially equivalent to those
34 contained in this Section;
HB1269 Enrolled -594- LRB9001000EGfg
1 vi. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit revised
2 limitations or other requirements resulting from the
3 application of an approved economic incentives rule,

8 A. Do not violate any applicable
9 requirement;
10 B. Do not involve significant changes to
11 existing monitoring, reporting, or
12 recordkeeping requirements in the permit;
13 C. Do not require a case-by-case
14 determination of an emission limitation or
15 other standard, or a source-specific
16 determination of ambient impacts, or a
17 visibility or increment analysis;
18 D. Do not seek to establish or change a
19 permit term or condition for which there is no
20 corresponding underlying requirement and which
21 avoids an applicable requirement to which the
22 source would otherwise be subject. Such terms
23 and conditions include:
24 1. A federally enforceable emissions
25 cap assumed to avoid classification as a
26 modification under any provision of Title
27 I of the Clean Air Act; and
28 2. An alternative emissions limit
29 approved pursuant to regulations
30 promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the
31 Clean Air Act;
32 E. Are not modifications under any
33 provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
34 F. Are not required to be processed as a
HB1269 Enrolled -596- LRB9001000EGfg
1 significant modification.
2 ii. Notwithstanding subparagraphs (a)(i) and
3 (b)(ii) of this subsection, minor permit
4 modification procedures may be used for permit
5 modifications involving the use of economic
6 incentives, marketable permits, emissions trading,
7 and other similar approaches, to the extent that
8 such minor permit modification procedures are
9 explicitly provided for in an applicable
10 implementation plan or in applicable requirements
11 promulgated by USEPA.
12 iii. An applicant requesting the use of minor
13 permit modification procedures shall meet the
14 requirements of subsection 5 of this Section and
15 shall include the following in its application:
16 A. A description of the change, the
17 emissions resulting from the change, and any
18 new applicable requirements that will apply if
19 the change occurs;
20 B. The source's suggested draft permit;
21 C. Certification by a responsible
22 official, consistent with paragraph 5(e) of

25 for use of minor permit modification procedures
26 and a request that such procedures be used; and
27 D. Completed forms for the Agency to use
28 to notify USEPA and affected States as required
29 under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
30 iv. Within 5 working days of receipt of a
31 complete permit modification application, the Agency
32 shall notify USEPA and affected States of the
33 requested permit modification in accordance with
34 subsections 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency
HB1269 Enrolled -597- LRB9001000EGfg
1 promptly shall send any notice required under
2 paragraph 8(d) of this Section to USEPA.
3 v. The Agency may not issue a final permit
4 modification until after the 45-day review period
5 for USEPA or until USEPA has notified the Agency
6 that USEPA will not object to the issuance of the
7 permit modification, whichever comes first, although
8 the Agency can approve the permit modification prior
9 to that time. Within 90 days of the Agency's
10 receipt of an application under the minor permit
11 modification procedures or 15 days after the end of
12 USEPA's 45-day review period under subsection 9 of
13 this Section, whichever is later, the Agency shall:
14 A. Issue the permit modification as
15 proposed;
16 B. Deny the permit modification
17 application;
18 C. Determine that the requested
19 modification does not meet the minor permit
20 modification criteria and should be reviewed
21 under the significant modification procedures;
22 or
23 D. Revise the draft permit modification
24 and transmit to USEPA the new proposed permit
25 modification as required by subsection 9 of
26 this Section.
27 vi. Any CAAPP source may make the change
28 proposed in its minor permit modification
29 application immediately after it files such
30 application. After the CAAPP source makes the
31 change allowed by the preceding sentence, and until
32 the Agency takes any of the actions specified in
33 subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through (a)(v)(C) of this
34 subsection, the source must comply with both the
HB1269 Enrolled -598- LRB9001000EGfg
1 applicable requirements governing the change and the
2 proposed permit terms and conditions. During this
3 time period, the source need not comply with the
4 existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to
5 modify. If the source fails to comply with its
6 proposed permit terms and conditions during this
7 time period, the existing permit terms and
8 conditions which it seeks to modify may be enforced
9 against it.
10 vii. The permit shield under subparagraph 7(j)
11 of this Section may not extend to minor permit
12 modifications.
13 viii. If a construction permit is required,
14 pursuant to Section 39(a) of this Act and
15 regulations thereunder, for a change for which the
16 minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
17 the source may request that the processing of the
18 construction permit application be consolidated with
19 the processing of the application for the minor
20 permit modification. In such cases, the provisions
21 of this Section, including those within subsections
22 5, 8, and 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on
23 such applications pursuant to subparagraph 14(a)(v).
24 The source may make the proposed change immediately
25 after filing its application for the minor permit
26 modification. Nothing in this subparagraph shall
27 otherwise affect the requirements and procedures
28 applicable to construction permits.
29 b. Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
30 i. Where requested by an applicant within its
31 application, the Agency shall process groups of a
32 source's applications for certain modifications
33 eligible for minor permit modification processing
34 in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph
HB1269 Enrolled -599- LRB9001000EGfg

2 ii. Permit modifications may be processed in
3 accordance with the procedures for group processing,
4 for those modifications:
5 A. Which meet the criteria for minor
6 permit modification procedures under
7 subparagraph 14(a)(i) of this Section; and
8 B. That collectively are below 10 percent
9 of the emissions allowed by the permit for the
10 emissions unit for which change is requested,
11 20 percent of the applicable definition of
12 major source set forth in subsection 2 of this
13 Section, or 5 tons per year, whichever is
14 least.
15 iii. An applicant requesting the use of group
16 processing procedures shall meet the requirements of
17 subsection 5 of this Section and shall include the
18 following in its application:
19 A. A description of the change, the
20 emissions resulting from the change, and any
21 new applicable requirements that will apply if
22 the change occurs.
23 B. The source's suggested draft permit.
24 C. Certification by a responsible
25 official consistent with paragraph 5(e) of this
26 Section, that the proposed modification meets
27 the criteria for use of group processing
28 procedures and a request that such procedures
29 be used.
30 D. A list of the source's other pending
31 applications awaiting group processing, and a
32 determination of whether the requested
33 modification, aggregated with these other
34 applications, equals or exceeds the threshold
HB1269 Enrolled -600- LRB9001000EGfg
1 set under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of this
2 subsection.
3 E. Certification, consistent with
4 paragraph 5(e), that the source has notified
5 USEPA of the proposed modification. Such
6 notification need only contain a brief
7 description of the requested modification.
8 F. Completed forms for the Agency to use
9 to notify USEPA and affected states as required
10 under subsections 8 and 9 of this Section.
11 iv. On a quarterly basis or within 5 business
12 days of receipt of an application demonstrating that
13 the aggregate of a source's pending applications
14 equals or exceeds the threshold level set forth
15 within subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of this subsection,
16 whichever is earlier, the Agency shall promptly
17 notify USEPA and affected States of the requested
18 permit modifications in accordance with subsections
19 8 and 9 of this Section. The Agency shall send any
20 notice required under paragraph 8(d) of this Section
21 to USEPA.
22 v. The provisions of subparagraph (a)(v) of
23 this subsection shall apply to modifications
24 eligible for group processing, except that the
25 Agency shall take one of the actions specified in
26 subparagraphs (a)(v)(A) through (a)(v)(D) of this
27 subsection within 180 days of receipt of the
28 application or 15 days after the end of USEPA's
29 45-day review period under subsection 9 of this
30 Section, whichever is later.
31 vi. The provisions of subparagraph (a)(vi) of

34 vii. The provisions of paragraph 7(j) of this
HB1269 Enrolled -601- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Section shall not apply to modifications eligible
2 for group processing.
3 c. Significant Permit Modifications.
4 i. Significant modification procedures shall
5 be used for applications requesting significant
6 permit modifications and for those applications that
7 do not qualify as either minor permit modifications
8 or as administrative permit amendments.
9 ii. Every significant change in existing
10 monitoring permit terms or conditions and every
11 relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping
12 requirements shall be considered significant. A
13 modification shall also be considered significant if
14 in the judgment of the Agency action on an
15 application for modification would require decisions
16 to be made on technically complex issues. Nothing
17 herein shall be construed to preclude the permittee
18 from making changes consistent with this Section
19 that would render existing permit compliance terms
20 and conditions irrelevant.
21 iii. Significant permit modifications must
22 meet all the requirements of this Section, including
23 those for applications (including completeness
24 review), public participation, review by affected
25 States, and review by USEPA applicable to initial
26 permit issuance and permit renewal. The Agency
27 shall take final action on significant permit
28 modifications within 9 months after receipt of a
29 complete application.
30 d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
31 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
32 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
33 necessary, to implement this subsection.
34 15. Reopenings for Cause by the Agency.
HB1269 Enrolled -602- LRB9001000EGfg
1 a. Each issued CAAPP permit shall include
2 provisions specifying the conditions under which the
3 permit will be reopened prior to the expiration of the
4 permit. Such revisions shall be made as expeditiously as
5 practicable. A CAAPP permit shall be reopened and
6 revised under any of the following circumstances, in
7 accordance with procedures adopted by the Agency:
8 i. Additional requirements under the Clean Air
9 Act become applicable to a major CAAPP source for
10 which 3 or more years remain on the original term of
11 the permit. Such a reopening shall be completed not
12 later than 18 months after the promulgation of the
13 applicable requirement. No such revision is
14 required if the effective date of the requirement is
15 later than the date on which the permit is due to
16 expire.
17 ii. Additional requirements (including excess
18 emissions requirements) become applicable to an
19 affected source for acid deposition under the acid
20 rain program. Excess emissions offset plans shall
21 be deemed to be incorporated into the permit upon
22 approval by USEPA.
23 iii. The Agency or USEPA determines that the
24 permit contains a material mistake or that
25 inaccurate statements were made in establishing the
26 emissions standards, limitations, or other terms or
27 conditions of the permit.
28 iv. The Agency or USEPA determines that the
29 permit must be revised or revoked to assure
30 compliance with the applicable requirements.
31 b. In the event that the Agency determines that
32 there are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
33 consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it shall
34 file a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
HB1269 Enrolled -603- LRB9001000EGfg
1 for such revocation. In any such proceeding, the Agency
2 shall have the burden of establishing that the permit
3 should be revoked under the standards set forth in this
4 Act and the Clean Air Act. Any such proceeding shall be
5 conducted pursuant to the Board's procedures for
6 adjudicatory hearings and the Board shall render its
7 decision within 120 days of the filing of the petition.
8 The Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue
9 a CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
10 c. Proceedings regarding a reopened CAAPP permit
11 shall follow the same procedures as apply to initial
12 permit issuance and shall affect only those parts of the
13 permit for which cause to reopen exists.
14 d. Reopenings under paragraph (a) of this
15 subsection shall not be initiated before a notice of such
16 intent is provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at
17 least 30 days in advance of the date that the permit is
18 to be reopened, except that the Agency may provide a
19 shorter time period in the case of an emergency.
20 e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
21 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
22 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
23 necessary, to implement this subsection.
24 16. Reopenings for Cause by USEPA.
25 a. When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
26 modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
27 subsection 15 of this Section, and thereafter notifies
28 the Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing,
29 the Agency shall forward to USEPA and the permittee a
30 proposed determination of termination, modification, or
31 revocation and reissuance as appropriate, in accordance
32 with paragraph b of this subsection. The Agency's
33 proposed determination shall be in accordance with the
34 record, the Clean Air Act, regulations promulgated
HB1269 Enrolled -604- LRB9001000EGfg
1 thereunder, this Act and regulations promulgated
2 thereunder. Such proposed determination shall not affect
3 the permit or constitute a final permit action for
4 purposes of this Act or the Administrative Review Law.
5 The Agency shall forward to USEPA such proposed
6 determination within 90 days after receipt of the
7 notification from USEPA. If additional time is necessary
8 to submit the proposed determination, the Agency shall
9 request a 90-day extension from USEPA and shall submit
10 the proposed determination within 180 days of receipt of
11 notification from USEPA.
12 b. i. Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA
13 of a proposed determination to terminate or revoke
14 and reissue the permit, the Agency shall file a
15 petition before the Board setting forth USEPA's
16 objection, the permit record, the Agency's proposed
17 determination, and the justification for its
18 proposed determination. The Board shall conduct a
19 hearing pursuant to the rules prescribed by Section
20 32 of this Act, and the burden of proof shall be on
21 the Agency.
22 ii. After due consideration of the written and
23 oral statements, the testimony and arguments that
24 shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
25 and enter an interim order for the proposed
26 determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
27 any, required in the Agency's proposed
28 determination. The interim order shall comply with
29 the requirements for final orders as set forth in
30 Section 33 of this Act. Issuance of an interim order
31 by the Board under this paragraph, however, shall
32 not affect the permit status and does not constitute
33 a final action for purposes of this Act or the
34 Administrative Review Law.
HB1269 Enrolled -605- LRB9001000EGfg
1 iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its

9 within 90 days of receipt.
10 i. When USEPA reviews the proposed
11 determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
12 does not object, the Board shall, within 7 days of
13 receipt of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim
14 order as a final order. The final order may be
15 appealed as provided by Title XI of this Act. The
16 Agency shall take final action in accordance with
17 the Board's final order.
18 ii. When USEPA reviews such proposed
19 determination to terminate or revoke and reissue and
20 objects, the Agency shall submit USEPA's objection
21 and the Agency's comments and recommendation on the
22 objection to the Board and permittee. The Board
23 shall review its interim order in response to
24 USEPA's objection and the Agency's comments and
25 recommendation and issue a final order in accordance
26 with Sections 32 and 33 of this Act. The Agency
27 shall, within 90 days after receipt of such
28 objection, respond to USEPA's objection in
29 accordance with the Board's final order.
30 iii. When USEPA reviews such proposed
31 determination to modify and objects, the Agency
32 shall, within 90 days after receipt of the
33 objection, resolve the objection and modify the
34 permit in accordance with USEPA's objection, based
HB1269 Enrolled -606- LRB9001000EGfg
1 upon the record, the Clean Air Act, regulations
2 promulgated thereunder, this Act, and regulations
3 promulgated thereunder.
4 d. If the Agency fails to submit the proposed

33 acid rain permit application until a Phase II acid rain
34 permit is issued or denied by the Agency.
HB1269 Enrolled -609- LRB9001000EGfg
1 h. The Agency shall not include or implement any
2 measure which would interfere with or modify the
3 requirements of Title IV of the Clean Air Act or
4 regulations promulgated thereunder.
5 i. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
6 affecting allowances or USEPA's decision regarding an
7 excess emissions offset plan, as set forth in Title IV of
8 the Clean Air Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.
9 i. No permit revision shall be required for
10 increases in emissions that are authorized by

29 any permit appeal involving a Phase II acid rain permit
30 provision or denial of a Phase II acid rain permit.
31 l. It is unlawful for any owner or operator to
32 violate any terms or conditions of a Phase II acid rain
33 permit issued under this subsection, to operate any
34 affected source for acid deposition except in compliance
HB1269 Enrolled -610- LRB9001000EGfg

19 18. Fee Provisions.
20 a. For each 12 month period after the date on which
21 the USEPA approves or conditionally approves the CAAPP,
22 but in no event prior to January 1, 1994, a source
23 subject to this Section or excluded under subsection 1.1
24 or paragraph 3(c) of this Section, shall pay a fee as
25 provided in this part (a) of this subsection 18.
26 However, a source that has been excluded from the
27 provisions of this Section under subsection 1.1 or
28 paragraph 3(c) of this Section because the source emits
29 less than 25 tons per year of any combination of
30 regulated air pollutants shall pay fees in accordance
31 with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
32 i. The fee for a source allowed to emit less
33 than 100 tons per year of any combination of
34 regulated air pollutants shall be $1,000 per year.
HB1269 Enrolled -611- LRB9001000EGfg
1 ii. The fee for a source allowed to emit 100
2 tons or more per year of any combination of
3 regulated air pollutants, except for those regulated
4 air pollutants excluded in paragraph 18(f) of this
5 subsection, shall be as follows:
6 A. The Agency shall assess an annual fee
7 of $13.50 per ton for the allowable emissions
8 of all regulated air pollutants at that source
9 during the term of the permit. These fees
10 shall be used by the Agency and the Board to
11 fund the activities required by Title V of the
12 Clean Air Act including such activities as may
13 be carried out by other State or local agencies
14 pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection.
15 The amount of such fee shall be based on the
16 information supplied by the applicant in its
17 complete CAAPP permit application or in the
18 CAAPP permit if the permit has been granted and
19 shall be determined by the amount of emissions
20 that the source is allowed to emit annually,
21 provided however, that no source shall be
22 required to pay an annual fee in excess of
23 $100,000. The Agency shall provide as part of
24 the permit application form required under
25 subsection 5 of this Section a separate fee
26 calculation form which will allow the applicant
27 to identify the allowable emissions and
28 calculate the fee for the term of the permit.
29 In no event shall the Agency raise the amount
30 of allowable emissions requested by the
31 applicant unless such increases are required to
32 demonstrate compliance with terms of a CAAPP
33 permit.
34 Notwithstanding the above, any applicant
HB1269 Enrolled -612- LRB9001000EGfg
1 may seek a change in its permit which would
2 result in increases in allowable emissions due
3 to an increase in the hours of operation or
4 production rates of an emission unit or units
5 and such a change shall be consistent with the
6 construction permit requirements of the
7 existing State permit program, under Section
8 39(a) of this Act and applicable provisions of
9 this Section. Where a construction permit is
10 required, the Agency shall expeditiously grant
11 such construction permit and shall, if
12 necessary, modify the CAAPP permit based on the
13 same application.
14 B. Except for the first year of the
15 CAAPP, the applicant or permittee may pay the
16 fee annually or semiannually for those fees
17 greater than $5,000.
18 b. For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year
19 thereafter, to the extent that permit fees collected and
20 deposited in the CAA Permit Fund during that fiscal year
21 exceed 115% of the actual expenditures (excluding permit
22 fee reimbursements) from the CAA Permit Fund for that
23 fiscal year (including lapse period spending), the excess
24 shall be reimbursed to the permittees in proportion to
25 their original fee payments. Such reimbursements shall
26 be made during the next fiscal year and may be made in
27 the form of a credit against that fiscal year's permit
28 fee.
29 c. There shall be created a CAA Fee Panel of 5
30 persons. The Panel shall:
31 i. If it deems necessary on an annual basis,
32 render advisory opinions to the Agency and the
33 General Assembly regarding the appropriate level of
34 Title V Clean Air Act fees for the next fiscal year.
HB1269 Enrolled -613- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Such advisory opinions shall be based on a study of
2 the operations of the Agency and any other entity
3 requesting appropriations from the CAA Permit Fund.
4 This study shall recommend changes in the fee
5 structure, if warranted. The study will be based on
6 the ability of the Agency or other entity to
7 effectively utilize the funds generated as well as
8 the entity's conformance with the objectives and
9 measurable benchmarks identified by the Agency as
10 justification for the prior year's fee. Such
11 advisory opinions shall be submitted to the
12 appropriation committees no later than April 15th of
13 each year.
14 ii. Not be compensated for their services, but
15 shall receive reimbursement for their expenses.
16 iii. Be appointed as follows: 4 members by
17 the Director of the Agency from a list of no more
18 than 8 persons, submitted by representatives of
19 associations who represent facilities subject to the
20 provisions of this subsection and the Director of
21 the Agency or designee.
22 d. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a
23 special fund to be known as the "CAA Permit Fund". All
24 Funds collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection
25 shall be deposited into the Fund. The General Assembly
26 shall appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and
27 to the Board to carry out their obligations under this
28 Section. The General Assembly may also authorize monies
29 to be granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State
30 and local agencies which perform duties related to the
31 CAAPP. Interest generated on the monies deposited in this
32 Fund shall be returned to the Fund. The General Assembly
33 may appropriate up to the sum of $25,000 to the Agency
34 from the CAA Permit Fund for use by the Panel in carrying
HB1269 Enrolled -614- LRB9001000EGfg
1 out its responsibilities under this subsection.
2 e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
3 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
4 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
5 necessary to implement this subsection.
6 f. For purposes of this subsection, the term
7 "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
8 it under subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude
9 the following:
10 i. carbon monoxide;
11 ii. any Class I or II substance which is a
12 regulated air pollutant solely because it is listed
13 pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act;
14 iii. any pollutant that is a regulated air
15 pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
16 or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air
17 Act based on the emissions allowed in the permit
18 effective in that calendar year, at the time the
19 applicable bill is generated; and
20 iv. during the years 1995 through 1999
21 inclusive, any emissions from affected sources for
22 acid deposition under Section 408(c)(4) of the Clean
23 Air Act.
24 19. Air Toxics Provisions.
25 a. In the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate
26 in a timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d)
27 of the Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority
28 to issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean
29 Air Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, which
30 contain emission limitations which are equivalent to the
31 emission limitations that would apply to a source if an
32 emission standard had been promulgated in a timely manner
33 by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d). Provided, however,
34 that the owner or operator of a source shall have the
HB1269 Enrolled -615- LRB9001000EGfg
1 opportunity to submit to the Agency a proposed emission
2 limitation which it determines to be equivalent to the
3 emission limitations that would apply to such source if
4 an emission standard had been promulgated in a timely
5 manner by USEPA. If the Agency refuses to include the
6 emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator in
7 a CAAPP permit, the owner or operator may petition the
8 Board to establish whether the emission limitation
9 proposal submitted by the owner or operator provides for
10 emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
11 limitations that would apply to the source if the
12 emission standard had been promulgated by USEPA in a
13 timely manner. The Board shall determine whether the
14 emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
15 an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
16 provides for the level of control required under Section
17 112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall otherwise establish an
18 appropriate emission limitation, pursuant to Section 112
19 of the Clean Air Act.
20 b. Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a)
21 or (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to
22 the Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the
23 Board shall render its decision within 120 days of the
24 filing of the petition. Any such decision shall be
25 subject to review pursuant to Section 41 of this Act.
26 Where USEPA promulgates an applicable emission standard
27 prior to the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency
28 shall include in the permit the promulgated standard,
29 provided that the source shall have the compliance period
30 provided under Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where
31 USEPA promulgates an applicable standard subsequent to
32 the issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise
33 such permit upon the next renewal to reflect the
34 promulgated standard, providing a reasonable time for the
HB1269 Enrolled -616- LRB9001000EGfg
1 applicable source to comply with the standard, but no
2 longer than 8 years after the date on which the source is
3 first required to comply with the emissions limitation
4 established under this subsection.
5 c. The Agency shall have the authority to implement
6 and enforce complete or partial emission standards
7 promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d), and
8 standards promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Sections
9 112(f), 112(h), 112(m), and 112(n), and may accept
10 delegation of authority from USEPA to implement and
11 enforce Section 112(l) and requirements for the
12 prevention and detection of accidental releases pursuant
13 to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
14 d. The Agency shall have the authority to issue
15 permits pursuant to Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
16 Act.
17 e. The Agency has the authority to implement
18 Section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act consistent with the
19 Clean Air Act and federal regulations promulgated
20 thereunder. If the Agency refuses to include the emission
21 limitations proposed in an application submitted by an
22 owner or operator for a case-by-case maximum achievable
23 control technology (MACT) determination, the owner or
24 operator may petition the Board to determine whether the
25 emission limitation proposed by the owner or operator or
26 an alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
27 provides for a level of control required by Section 112
28 of the Clean Air Act, or to otherwise establish an
29 appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of the
30 Clean Air Act.
31 20. Small Business.

3 Sec. 55.8. Tire retailers.
4 (a) Beginning July 1, 1992, any person selling tires at
5 retail or offering tires for retail sale in this State shall:
6 (1) collect from retail customers a fee of one
7 dollar per tire sold and delivered in this State to be
8 paid to the Department of Revenue and deposited into the
9 Used Tire Management Fund, less a collection allowance of
10 10 cents per tire to be retained by the retail seller and
11 a collection allowance of 10 cents per tire to be
12 retained by the Department of Revenue and paid into the
13 General Revenue Fund;
14 (2) accept for recycling used tires from customers,
15 at the point of transfer, in a quantity equal to the
16 number of new tires purchased; and
17 (3) post in a conspicuous place a written notice at
18 least 8.5 by 11 inches in size that includes the
19 universal recycling symbol and the following statements:
20 "DO NOT put used tires in the trash."; "Recycle your used
21 tires."; and "State law requires us to accept used tires
22 for recycling, in exchange for new tires purchased.".
23 (b) A person who accepts used tires for recycling under
24 subsection (a) shall not allow the tires to accumulate for
25 periods of more than 90 days.
26 (c) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section
27 do not apply to mail order sales nor shall the retail sale of
28 a motor vehicle be considered to be the sale of tires
29 at retail or offering of tires for retail sale. Instead of
30 filing returns, retailers of tires may remit the tire user
31 fee of $1.00 per tire to their suppliers of tires if the
32 supplier of tires is a registered retailer of tires and
33 agrees or otherwise arranges to collect and remit the tire
HB1269 Enrolled -621- LRB9001000EGfg
1 fee to the Department of Revenue, notwithstanding the fact
2 that the sale of the tire is a sale for resale and not a sale
3 at retail. A tire supplier who enters into such an
4 arrangement with a tire retailer shall be liable for the tax
5 on all tires sold to the tire retailer and must (i) provide
6 the tire retailer with a receipt that separately seperately
7 reflects the tire tax collected from the retailer on each
8 transaction and (ii) accept used tires for recycling from the
9 retailer's customers. The tire supplier shall be entitled to
10 the collection allowance of 10 cents per tire.
11 The retailer of the tires must maintain in its books and
12 records evidence that the appropriate fee was paid to the
13 tire supplier and that the tire supplier has agreed to remit
14 the fee to the Department of Revenue for each tire sold by
15 the retailer. Otherwise, the tire retailer shall be directly
16 liable for the fee on all tires sold at retail. Tire
17 retailers paying the fee to their suppliers are not entitled
18 to the collection allowance of 10 cents per tire.
19 (d) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section
20 shall apply exclusively to tires to be used for vehicles
21 defined in Section 1-217 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
22 aircraft tires, special mobile equipment, and implements of
23 husbandry.
24 (e) The requirements of paragraph (1) of subsection (a)
25 do not apply to the sale of reprocessed tires. For purposes
26 of this Section, "reprocessed tire" means a used tire that
27 has been recapped, retreaded, or regrooved and that has not
28 been placed on a vehicle wheel rim.

11 Each place of business which sells restricted use
12 pesticides shall be considered a separate entity for the
13 purpose of registration.
14 Registration as a pesticide dealer shall expire on
15 December 31 of each year. Pesticide dealers shall be
16 certified in accordance with Section 9 of this Act.
17 The Director may prescribe, by regulation, requirements
18 for the registration and testing of any pesticide dealer
19 selling other than restricted use pesticides and such
20 regulations shall include the establishment of a registration
21 fee.
22 The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the
23 registration of any person who fails to file a return, or to
24 pay the tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed return, or
25 to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or interest, as
26 required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois
27 Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of
28 any such tax Act are satisfied.

28 Section 3-145. The Radiation Protection Act of 1990 is
29 amended by changing Section 6 as follows:
30 (420 ILCS 40/6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 210-6)
31 Sec. 6. Accreditation of administrators of radiation;
32 Limited scope accreditation; Rules and regulations;
HB1269 Enrolled -626- LRB9001000EGfg
1 Education.
2 (a) The Department shall promulgate such rules and
3 regulations as are necessary to establish accreditation
4 standards and procedures, including a minimum course of
5 education and continuing education requirements in the
6 administration of radiation to human beings, which are
7 appropriate to the classification of accreditation and which
8 are to be met by all nurses, technicians, or other assistants
9 who administer radiation to human beings under the
10 supervision of a person licensed under the Medical Practice
11 Act of 1987. Such rules and regulations may provide for
12 different classes of accreditation based on evidence of
13 national certification, clinical experience or community
14 hardship as conditions of initial and continuing
15 accreditation. The rules and regulations of the Department
16 shall be consistent with national standards in regard to the
17 protection of the health and safety of the general public.
18 (b) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
19 persons who have been accredited by the Department, in
20 accordance with the Radiation Protection Act, without passing
21 an examination, will remain accredited as provided in Section
22 43 of this Act and that those persons may be accredited,
23 without passing an examination, to use other equipment,
24 procedures, or supervision within the original category of
25 accreditation if the Department receives written assurances
26 from a person licensed under the Medical Practice Practices
27 Act of 1987, that the person accredited has the necessary
28 skill and qualifications for such additional equipment
29 procedures or supervision. The Department shall, in
30 accordance with subsection (c) of this Section, provide for
31 the accreditation of nurses, technicians, or other
32 assistants, unless exempted elsewhere in this Act, to perform
33 a limited scope of diagnostic radiography procedures of the
34 chest, the extremities, skull and sinuses, or the spine,
HB1269 Enrolled -627- LRB9001000EGfg
1 while under the supervision of a person licensed under the
2 Medical Practice Act of 1987.
3 (c) The rules or regulations promulgated by the
4 Department pursuant to subsection (a) shall establish
5 standards and procedures for accrediting persons to perform a
6 limited scope of diagnostic radiography procedures. The rules
7 or regulations shall require persons seeking limited scope
8 accreditation to register with the Department as a
9 "student-in-training," and declare those procedures in which
10 the student will be receiving training. The
11 student-in-training registration shall be valid for a period
12 of 16 months, during which the time the student may, under
13 the supervision of a person licensed under the Medical
14 Practice Act of 1987, perform the diagnostic radiography
15 procedures listed on the student's registration. The
16 student-in-training registration shall be nonrenewable.
17 Upon expiration of the 16 month training period, the
18 student shall be prohibited from performing diagnostic
19 radiography procedures unless accredited by the Department to
20 perform such procedures. In order to be accredited to
21 perform a limited scope of diagnostic radiography procedures,
22 an individual must pass an examination offered by the
23 Department. The examination shall be consistent with
24 national standards in regard to protection of public health
25 and safety. The examination shall consist of a standardized
26 component covering general principles applicable to
27 diagnostic radiography procedures and a clinical component
28 specific to the types of procedures for which accreditation
29 is being sought. The Department may assess a reasonable fee
30 for such examinations to cover the costs incurred by the
31 Department in conjunction with offering the examinations.
32 (d) The Department shall by rule or regulation exempt
33 from accreditation nurses, technicians or other assistants
34 who administer radiation to human beings under supervision of
HB1269 Enrolled -628- LRB9001000EGfg
1 a person licensed to practice under the Medical Practice Act
2 of 1987 when the services are performed on employees of a
3 business at a medical facility owned and operated by the
4 business. Such exemption shall only apply to the equipment,
5 procedures and supervision specific to the medical facility
6 owned and operated by the business.
