 6        "(35 ILCS 200/9-195)
 7        Sec. 9-195.  Leasing of exempt property.
 8        (a)  Except as provided in Sections  Section  15-55,  and
 9    15-100,  and  15-103,  when  property  which  is  exempt from
10    taxation is leased to another whose property is  not  exempt,
11    and  the leasing of which does not make the property taxable,
12    the leasehold estate and the appurtenances shall be listed as
13    the property of the lessee thereof, or his or  her  assignee.
14    Taxes  on that property shall be collected in the same manner
15    as on property that is not exempt, and the  lessee  shall  be
16    liable for those taxes.  However, no tax lien shall attach to
17    the  exempt  real estate. The changes made by this amendatory
18    Act of 1997 are declaratory of existing law and shall not  be
19    construed  as  a  new  enactment.  The changes made by Public
20    Acts 88-221  and  88-420  that  are  incorporated  into  this
21    Section  by  this  amendatory  Act of 1993 are declarative of
22    existing law and are not a new enactment.
                            -2-            LRB9008707PTbdam05
 1        (b)  The provisions of this Section regarding taxation of
 2    leasehold interests in exempt property do not  apply  to  any
 3    leasehold   interest  created  pursuant  to  any  transaction
 4    described in subsection (b) of Section 15-100 or  in  Section
 5    15-103.

 7        (35 ILCS 200/15-103 new)
 8        Sec. 15-103.  Bi-State Development Agency.
 9        (a)  Property owned by the Bi-State Development Agency of
10    the Missouri-Illinois Metropolitan District is exempt.
11        (b)  The  exemption under this Section is not affected by
12    any transaction  in  which,  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining
13    financing,  the  Agency,  directly  or  indirectly, leases or
14    otherwise transfers the property to another for which or whom
15    property is not exempt and immediately  after  the  lease  or
16    transfer  enters  into  a  leaseback  or other agreement that
17    directly or indirectly gives  the  Agency  a  right  to  use,
18    control,  and  possess  the  property.   In  the  case  of  a
19    conveyance  of the property, the Agency must retain an option
20    to purchase the property at a  future  date  or,  within  the
21    limitations  period  for  reverters, the property must revert
22    back to the Agency.
23        (c)  If the property has been conveyed  as  described  in
24    subsection  (b),  the property is no longer exempt under this
25    Section as of the date when:
26             (1)  the right of the Agency to  use,  control,  and
27        possess the property is terminated;
28             (2)  the  Agency no longer has an option to purchase
29        or otherwise acquire the property; and
30             (3)  there is no provision for  a  reverter  of  the
31        property  to the Agency within the limitations period for
32        reverters.
33        (d)  Pursuant to Sections 15-15 and 15-20 of  this  Code,
                            -3-            LRB9008707PTbdam05
 1    the  Agency  shall notify the chief county assessment officer
 2    of any transaction under subsection (b).   The  chief  county
 3    assessment  officer  shall  determine  initial and continuing
 4    compliance with the requirements  of  this  Section  for  tax
 5    exemption.   Failure  to  notify  the chief county assessment
 6    officer of a transaction under this Section or  to  otherwise
 7    comply  with  the requirements of Sections 15-15 and 15-20 of
 8    this Code shall,  in  the  discretion  of  the  chief  county
 9    assessment   officer,   constitute  cause  to  terminate  the
10    exemption, notwithstanding any other provision of this Code.
11        (e)  No provision of this Section shall be  construed  to
12    affect  the  obligation  of the Agency under Section 15-10 of
13    this Code to file an  annual  certificate  of  status  or  to
14    notify  the  chief  county assessment officer of transfers of
15    interest or other changes in the status of  the  property  as
16    required by this Code.".
