 1                    AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1094
 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1094 by  replacing
 3    the title with the following:
 4        "AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Property  Tax  Code by changing
 5    Section 15.10."; and
 6    by replacing everything after the enacting  clause  with  the
 7    following:
 8        "Section 5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 9    Section 15-10 as follows:
10        (35 ILCS 200/15-10)
11        Sec.    15-10.     Exempt    property;   procedures   for
12    certification.   All  property  described  in  the   Sections
13    following  Section  15-30  and preceding Section 16-5, to the
14    extent therein limited, is exempt from taxation. However,  it
15    is the duty of the titleholder or the owner of the beneficial
16    interest  of  any  property  that  is exempt, except property
17    exempted under Section 15-45 (burial grounds) in counties  of
18    less than 3,000,000 inhabitants and owned by a not-for-profit
19    organization,  exempted  under  Section  15-50 (United States
20    property), and except as is otherwise  provided  in  Sections
                            -2-              LRB9002118KDpcam
 1    15-170  and  15-175  (senior and general homesteads), to file
 2    with the  chief  county  assessment  officer,  on  or  before
 3    January  31  of  each  year  (May  31 in the case of property
 4    exempted by Section 15-170),  an  affidavit  stating  whether
 5    there  has  been  any  change  in the ownership or use of the
 6    property or the status  of  the  owner-resident,  or  that  a
 7    disabled veteran who qualifies under Section 15-165 owned and
 8    used  the  property as of January 1 of that year. In counties
 9    of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the  titleholder  or  the
10    owner  of  the  beneficial  interest  of  property owned by a
11    not-for-profit organization and exempt under Section 15-45 is
12    not required to file an affidavit  after  January  31,  1998.
13    The  nature  of  any change shall be stated in the affidavit.
14    Failure to file an affidavit shall, in the discretion of  the
15    assessment   officer,   constitute  cause  to  terminate  the
16    exemption  of  that  property,  notwithstanding   any   other
17    provision  of  this  Code.    Owners of 5 or more such exempt
18    parcels within a county may file a single annual affidavit in
19    lieu  of  an  affidavit  for  each  parcel.   The  assessment
20    officer, upon request, shall furnish an affidavit form to the
21    owners, in which the owner may state whether there  has  been
22    any  change in the ownership or use of the property or status
23    of the owner or resident as of January 1 of  that  year.  The
24    owner  of  5  or  more  exempt  parcels  shall  list  all the
25    properties giving the same information  for  each  parcel  as
26    required of owners who file individual affidavits.
27    (Source: P.A. 87-895; 87-1189; 88-455.)".
