1 AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1704
2 AMENDMENT NO. . Amend Senate Bill 1704 on page 1, by
3 replacing lines 10 and 11 with the following:
4 "Section 7. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is
5 amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:
6 (5 ILCS 100/5-45) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45)
7 Sec. 5-45. Emergency rulemaking.
8 (a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation
9 that any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the
10 public interest, safety, or welfare.
11 (b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that
12 requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required
13 by Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
14 finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior
15 notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency
16 rulemaking with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70.
17 The notice shall include the text of the emergency rule and
18 shall be published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders
19 or other court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an
20 agency may be adopted under this Section. Subject to
21 applicable constitutional or statutory provisions, an
22 emergency rule becomes effective immediately upon filing
-2- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 under Section 5-65 or at a stated date less than 10 days
2 thereafter. The agency's finding and a statement of the
3 specific reasons for the finding shall be filed with the
4 rule. The agency shall take reasonable and appropriate
5 measures to make emergency rules known to the persons who may
6 be affected by them.
7 (c) An emergency rule may be effective for a period of
8 not longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt
9 an identical rule under Section 5-40 is not precluded. No
10 emergency rule may be adopted more than once in any 24 month
11 period, except that this limitation on the number of
12 emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does
13 not apply to (i) emergency rules that make additions to and
14 deletions from the Drug Manual under Section 5-5.16 of the
15 Illinois Public Aid Code or the generic drug formulary under
16 Section 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act or
17 (ii) emergency rules adopted by the Pollution Control Board
18 before July 1, 1997 to implement portions of the Livestock
19 Management Facilities Act. Two or more emergency rules
20 having substantially the same purpose and effect shall be
21 deemed to be a single rule for purposes of this Section.
22 (d) In order to provide for the expeditious and timely
23 implementation of the State's fiscal year 1999 1998 budget,
24 emergency rules to implement any provision of this amendatory
25 Act of 1998 1997 or any other budget initiative for fiscal
26 year 1999 1998 may be adopted in accordance with this Section
27 by the agency charged with administering that provision or
28 initiative, except that the 24-month limitation on the
29 adoption of emergency rules and the provisions of Sections
30 5-115 and 5-125 do not apply to rules adopted under this
31 subsection (d). The adoption of emergency rules authorized
32 by this subsection (d) shall be deemed to be necessary for
33 the public interest, safety, and welfare.

5 Human Services.
6 (a) Until October 1, 1998: The Child Care and
7 Development Fund is hereby created as a special fund in the
8 State treasury. Deposits to this fund shall consist of
9 receipts from the federal government under the Child Care and
10 Development Block Grant Program. Disbursements from the
11 Child Care and Development Fund shall be made by the
12 Department of Human Services in accordance with the
13 guidelines established by the federal government for the
14 Child Care and Development Block Grant Program, subject to
15 appropriation by the General Assembly.
16 (b) The Child Care and Development Fund is abolished on

23 Sec. 34.10. Home child care demonstration project;
24 conversion and renovation grants; Department of Human
25 Services.
26 (a) The legislature finds that the demand for quality
27 child care far outweighs the number of safe, quality spaces
28 for our children. The purpose of this Section is to increase
29 the number of child care providers by:
30 (1) developing a demonstration project to train
31 individuals to become home child care providers who are
32 able to establish and operate their own child care
-4- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 facility; and
2 (2) providing grants to convert and renovate
3 existing facilities.
4 (b) The Department of Human Services may from
5 appropriations from the Child Care Development Block Grant
6 establish a demonstration project to train individuals to
7 become home child care providers who are able to establish
8 and operate their own home-based child care facilities. The
9 Department of Human Services is authorized to use funds for
10 this purpose from the child care and development funds
11 deposited into the Special Purposes Trust Fund as described
12 in Section 12-10 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and, until
13 October 1, 1998, the Child Care and Development Fund created
14 by the 87th General Assembly. As an economic development
15 program, the project's focus is to foster individual
16 self-sufficiency through an entrepreneurial approach by the
17 creation of new jobs and opening of new small home-based
18 child care businesses. The demonstration project shall
19 involve coordination among State and county governments and
20 the private sector, including but not limited to: the
21 community college system, the Departments of Labor and
22 Commerce and Community Affairs, the State Board of Education,
23 large and small private businesses, nonprofit programs,
24 unions, and child care providers in the State.
25 The Department shall submit:
26 (1) a progress report on the demonstration project
27 to the legislature by one year after the effective date
28 of this amendatory Act of 1991; and
29 (2) a final evaluation report on the demonstration
30 project, including findings and recommendations, to the
31 legislature by one year after the due date of the
32 progress report.
33 (c) The Department of Human Services may from
34 appropriations from the Child Care Development Block Grant
-5- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 provide grants to family child care providers and center
2 based programs to convert and renovate existing facilities,
3 to the extent permitted by federal law, so additional family
4 child care homes and child care centers can be located in
5 such facilities.
6 (1) Applications for grants shall be made to the
7 Department and shall contain information as the
8 Department shall require by rule. Every applicant shall
9 provide assurance to the Department that:
10 (A) the facility to be renovated or improved
11 shall be used as family child care home or child
12 care center for a continuous period of at least 5
13 years;
14 (B) any family child care home or child care
15 center program located in a renovated or improved
16 facility shall be licensed by the Department;
17 (C) the program shall comply with applicable
18 federal and State laws prohibiting discrimination
19 against any person on the basis of race, color,
20 national origin, religion, creed, or sex;
21 (D) the grant shall not be used for purposes
22 of entertainment or perquisites;
23 (E) the applicant shall comply with any other
24 requirement the Department may prescribe to ensure
25 adherence to applicable federal, State, and county
26 laws;
27 (F) all renovations and improvements
28 undertaken with funds received under this Section
29 shall comply with all applicable State and county
30 statutes and ordinances including applicable
31 building codes and structural requirements of the
32 Department; and
33 (G) the applicant shall indemnify and save
34 harmless the State and its officers, agents, and
-6- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 employees from and against any and all claims
2 arising out of or resulting from the renovation and
3 improvements made with funds provided by this
4 Section, and, upon request of the Department, the
5 applicant shall procure sufficient insurance to
6 provide that indemnification.
7 (2) To receive a grant under this Section to
8 convert an existing facility into a family child care
9 home or child care center facility, the applicant shall:
10 (A) agree to make available to the Department
11 of Human Services all records it may have relating
12 to the operation of any family child care home and
13 child care center facility, and to allow State
14 agencies to monitor its compliance with the purpose
15 of this Section;
16 (B) agree that, if the facility is to be
17 altered or improved, or is to be used by other
18 groups, moneys appropriated by this Section shall be
19 used for renovating or improving the facility only
20 to the proportionate extent that the floor space
21 will be used by the child care program; and
22 (C) establish, to the satisfaction of the
23 Department that sufficient funds are available for
24 the effective use of the facility for the purpose
25 for which it is being renovated or improved.
26 (3) In selecting applicants for funding, the
27 Department shall make every effort to ensure that family
28 child care home or child care center facilities are
29 equitably distributed throughout the State according to
30 demographic need. The Department shall give priority
31 consideration to rural/Downstate areas of the State that
32 are currently experiencing a shortage of child care
33 services.
34 (4) In considering applications for grants to
-7- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 renovate or improve an existing facility used for the
2 operations of a family child care home or child care
3 center, the Department shall give preference to
4 applications to renovate facilities most in need of
5 repair to address safety and habitability concerns. No
6 grant shall be disbursed unless an agreement is entered
7 into between the applicant and the State, by and through
8 the Department. The agreement shall include the
9 assurances and conditions required by this Section and
10 any other terms which the Department may require.

25 loans of such funds with respect to projects, and (ii) to

3 issue bonds for its corporate purposes including, but not

27 necessary in connection with such bonds, and may provide for
28 the refunding or advance refunding of any bonds or for

17 performance and observance by any person or by the Authority
18 or any of its agents or employees of any contract or covenant
19 made with the holders of such bonds and to compel such person

30 instruments. Pending the preparation and execution of any
31 such bonds, temporary bonds may be issued as provided by the
32 resolution.
33 The bonds shall be sold by the Authority in such manner
34 as it shall determine.
-10- LRB9011518EGfgam02

2 resolution by the receipts, revenues, income and other
3 available funds of the Authority by any amounts derived by
4 the Authority from the loan agreement or lease agreement with
5 respect to the project or projects. The Authority may grant
6 a specific pledge or assignment of and lien on or security
7 interest in such rights, revenues, income, or amounts and may
8 grant a specific pledge or assignment of and lien on or
9 security interest in any reserves, funds or accounts
10 established in the resolution authorizing the issuance of
11 bonds. Any such pledge, assignment, lien or security
12 interest for the benefit of the holders of the Authority's
13 bonds shall be valid and binding from the time the bonds are
14 issued without any physical delivery or further act, and
15 shall be valid and binding as against and prior to the claims
16 of all other parties having claims against the Authority or
17 any other person irrespective of whether the other parties
18 have notice of the pledge, assignment, lien or security
19 interest. As evidence of such pledge, assignment, lien and
20 security interest, the Authority may execute and deliver a
21 mortgage, trust agreement, indenture or security agreement or
22 an assignment thereof.
23 A remedy for any breach or default of the terms of any
24 such agreement by the Authority may be by mandamus
25 proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel
26 the performance and compliance therewith, but the agreement
27 may prescribe by whom or on whose behalf such action may be
28 instituted.
29 It is expressly understood that the Authority may, but
30 need not, acquire title to any project with respect to which
31 it exercises its authority.
32 (d) With respect to the powers granted by this Act, the
33 Authority may adopt rules and regulations prescribing the
34 procedures by which persons may apply for assistance under
-11- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 this Act.
2 Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the Authority,
3 prior to the filing of any formal application, from
4 conducting preliminary discussions and investigations with
5 respect to the subject matter of any prospective application.
6 (e) The Authority shall have power to acquire by
7 purchase, lease, gift or otherwise any property or rights
8 therein from any person useful for its purposes, whether
9 improved for the purposes of any prospective project, or
10 unimproved. The Authority may also accept any donation of
11 funds for its purposes from any such source. The Authority
12 shall have no independent power of condemnation but may
13 acquire any property or rights therein obtained upon
14 condemnation by any other authority, governmental entity or
15 unit of local government with such power.
16 (f) The Authority shall have power to develop, construct
17 and improve either under its own direction, or through
18 collaboration with any approved applicant, or to acquire
19 through purchase or otherwise, any project, using for such
20 purpose the proceeds derived from the sale of its bonds or
21 from governmental loans or grants, and to hold title in the
22 name of the Authority to such projects.
23 (g) The Authority shall have power to lease pursuant to
24 a lease agreement any project so developed and constructed or
25 acquired to the approved tenant on such terms and conditions
26 as may be appropriate to further the purposes of this Act and
27 to maintain the credit of the Authority. Any such lease may
28 provide for either the Authority or the approved tenant to
29 assume initially, in whole or in part, the costs of
30 maintenance, repair and improvements during the leasehold
31 period. In no case, however, shall the total rentals from any
32 project during any initial leasehold period or the total loan
33 repayments to be made pursuant to any loan agreement, be less
34 than an amount necessary to return over such lease or loan
-12- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 period (1) all costs incurred in connection with the
2 development, construction, acquisition or improvement of the
3 project and for repair, maintenance and improvements thereto
4 during the period of the lease or loan; provided, however,
5 that the rentals or loan repayments need not include costs
6 met through the use of funds other than those obtained by the
7 Authority through the issuance of its bonds or governmental
8 loans; (2) a reasonable percentage additive to be agreed upon
9 by the Authority and the borrower or tenant to cover a
10 properly allocable portion of the Authority's general
11 expenses, including, but not limited to, administrative
12 expenses, salaries and general insurance, and (3) an amount
13 sufficient to pay when due all principal of, interest and
14 premium, if any on, any bonds issued by the Authority with
15 respect to the project.
16 The portion of total rentals payable under clause (3) of
17 this subsection (g) shall be deposited in such special
18 accounts, including all sinking fund, acquisition or
19 construction funds, debt service and other funds as provided
20 by any resolution, mortgage or trust agreement of the
21 Authority pursuant to which any bond is issued.
22 (h) The Authority has the power, upon the termination of
23 any leasehold period of any project, to sell or lease for a
24 further term or terms such project on such terms and
25 conditions as the Authority shall deem reasonable and
26 consistent with the purposes of the Act. The net proceeds
27 from all such sales and the revenues or income from such
28 leases shall be used to satisfy any indebtedness of the
29 Authority with respect to such project and any balance may be
30 used to pay any expenses of the Authority or be used for the
31 further development, construction, acquisition or improvement
32 of projects.
33 In the event any project is vacated by a tenant prior to
34 the termination of the initial leasehold period, the
-13- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 Authority shall sell or lease the facilities of the project
2 on the most advantageous terms available. The net proceeds of
3 any such disposition shall be treated in the same manner as
4 the proceeds from sales or the revenues or income from leases
5 subsequent to the termination of any initial leasehold
6 period.
7 (i) The Authority shall have the power to make loans to
8 persons to finance a project, to enter into loan agreements
9 with respect thereto, and to accept guarantees from persons
10 of its loans or the resultant evidences of obligations to the
11 Authority.
12 (j) The Authority may fix, determine, charge and collect
13 any premiums, fees, charges, costs and expenses, including,
14 without limitation, any application fees, commitment fees,
15 program fees, financing charges or publication fees from any
16 person in connection with its activities under this Act.
17 (k) In addition to the funds established as provided
18 herein, the Authority shall have the power to create and
19 establish such reserve funds and accounts as may be necessary
20 or desirable to accomplish its purposes under this Act and to
21 deposit its available monies into the funds and accounts.
22 (l) At the request of the governing body of any unit of
23 local government, the Authority is authorized to market such
24 local government's industrial revenue bond offerings by
25 preparing bond issues for sale, advertising for sealed bids,
26 receiving bids at its offices, making the award to the bidder
27 that offers the most favorable terms or arranging for
28 negotiated placements or underwritings of such securities.
29 The Authority may, at its discretion, offer for concurrent
30 sale the industrial revenue bonds of several local
31 governments. Sales by the Authority of industrial revenue
32 bonds under this Section shall in no way imply State
33 guarantee of such debt issue. The Authority may require such
34 financial information from participating local governments as
-14- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of this
2 subsection (l).
3 (m) The Authority may make grants to any county to which
4 Division 5-37 of the Counties Code is applicable to assist in
5 the financing of capital development, construction and
6 renovation of new or existing facilities for hospitals and
7 health care facilities under that Act. Such grants may only
8 be made from funds appropriated for such purposes from the
9 Build Illinois Bond Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund.
10 (n) The Authority may establish an urban development
11 action grant program for the purpose of assisting
12 municipalities in Illinois which are experiencing severe
13 economic distress to help stimulate economic development
14 activities needed to aid in economic recovery. The Authority
15 shall determine the types of activities and projects for
16 which the urban development action grants may be used,
17 provided that such projects and activities are broadly
18 defined to include all reasonable projects and activities the
19 primary objectives of which are the development of viable
20 urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable
21 living environment, and expansion of economic opportunity,
22 principally for persons of low and moderate incomes. The
23 Authority shall enter into grant agreements from monies
24 appropriated for such purposes from the Build Illinois Bond
25 Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund. The Authority shall
26 monitor the use of the grants, and shall provide for audits
27 of the funds as well as recovery by the Authority of any
28 funds determined to have been spent in violation of this
29 subsection (n) or any rule or regulation promulgated
30 hereunder. The Authority shall provide technical assistance
31 with regard to the effective use of the urban development
32 action grants. The Authority shall file an annual report to
33 the General Assembly concerning the progress of the grant
34 program.
-15- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 (o) The Authority may establish a Housing Partnership
2 Program whereby the Authority provides zero-interest loans to
3 municipalities for the purpose of assisting in the financing
4 of projects for the rehabilitation of affordable multi-family
5 housing for low and moderate income residents. The Authority
6 may provide such loans only upon a municipality's providing
7 evidence that it has obtained private funding for the
8 rehabilitation project. The Authority shall provide 3 State
9 dollars for every 7 dollars obtained by the municipality from
10 sources other than the State of Illinois. The loans shall be
11 made from monies appropriated for such purpose from the Build
12 Illinois Bond Fund or the Build Illinois Purposes Fund. The
13 total amount of loans available under the Housing Partnership
14 Program shall not exceed $30,000,000. State loan monies under
15 this subsection (o) shall be used only for the acquisition
16 and rehabilitation of existing buildings containing 4 or more
17 dwelling units. The terms of any loan made by the
18 municipality under this subsection shall require repayment of
19 the loan to the municipality upon any sale or other transfer
20 of the project.
21 (p) The Authority may award grants to universities and
22 research institutions, research consortiums and other
23 not-for-profit entities for the purposes of: remodeling or
24 otherwise physically altering existing laboratory or research
25 facilities, expansion or physical additions to existing
26 laboratory or research facilities, construction of new
27 laboratory or research facilities or acquisition of modern
28 equipment to support laboratory or research operations
29 provided that such grants (i) be used solely in support of
30 project and equipment acquisitions which enhance technology
31 transfer, and (ii) not constitute more than 60 percent of the
32 total project or acquisition cost.
33 (q) Grants may be awarded by the Authority to units of
34 local government for the purpose of developing the
-16- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 appropriate infrastructure or defraying other costs to the
2 local government in support of laboratory or research
3 facilities provided that such grants may not exceed 40% of
4 the cost to the unit of local government.
5 (r) The Authority may establish a Direct Loan Program to
6 make loans to individuals, partnerships or corporations for
7 the purpose of an industrial project, as defined in Section 3
8 of this Act. For the purposes of such program and not by way
9 of limitation on any other program of the Authority, the
10 Authority shall have the power to issue bonds, notes, or
11 other evidences of indebtedness including commercial paper
12 for purposes of providing a fund of capital from which it may
13 make such loans. The Authority shall have power to use any
14 appropriations from the State made especially for the
15 Authority's Direct Loan Program for additional capital to
16 make such loans or for the purposes of reserve funds or
17 pledged funds which secure the Authority's obligations of
18 repayment of any bond, note or other form of indebtedness
19 established for the purpose of providing capital for which it
20 intends to make such loans under the Direct Loan Program.
21 For the purpose of obtaining such capital, the Authority may
22 also enter into agreements with financial institutions and

26 amount not to exceed $300,000 and shall be made for a portion
27 of an industrial project which does not exceed 50% of the
28 total project. No loan may be made by the Authority unless
29 approved by the affirmative vote of at least 8 members of the

31 rules which shall provide for the submission, review, and
32 analysis of each direct loan application and which shall
33 preserve the ability of each board member to reach an
34 individual business judgment regarding the propriety of
-17- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 making each direct loan. The collective discretion of the
2 board to approve or disapprove each loan shall be
3 unencumbered.
4 The Authority may establish and collect such fees and
5 charges, determine and enforce such terms and conditions, and
6 charge such interest rates as it determines to be necessary
7 and appropriate to the successful administration of the
8 Direct Loan Program. The Authority may require such
9 interests in collateral and such guarantees as it determines
10 are necessary to protect the Authority's interest in the
11 repayment of the principal and interest of each loan made
12 under the Direct Loan Program.
13 (s) The Authority may guarantee private loans to third
14 parties up to a specified dollar amount in order to promote
15 economic development in this State.
16 (t) The Authority may adopt rules and regulations as may
17 be necessary or advisable to implement the powers conferred
18 by this Act.
19 (u) In addition to any other bonds authorized by this
20 Act, the Authority shall have the power to issue up to
21 $20,000,000 in bonds, notes or other evidences of
22 indebtedness, which may be used to make loans to units of
23 local government which are authorized to enter into loan
24 agreements and other documents and to issue bonds, notes and
25 other evidences of indebtedness for the purpose of financing
26 the protection of storm sewer outfalls, the construction of
27 adequate storm sewer outfalls, and the provision for flood
28 protection of sanitary sewage treatment plants, in counties
29 that have established a stormwater management planning
30 committee in accordance with Section 5-1062 of the Counties
31 Code. Any such loan shall be made by the Authority pursuant
32 to the provisions of Sections 7.50 to 7.61 of this Act. The
33 unit of local government shall pay back to the Authority the
34 principal amount of the loan, plus annual interest as
-18- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 determined by the Authority. The Authority shall have the
2 power, subject to appropriations by the General Assembly, to
3 subsidize or buy down a portion of the interest on such
4 loans, up to 4% per annum.
5 (v) The Authority may accept security interests as
6 provided in Sections 11-3 and 11-3.3 of the Illinois Public
7 Aid Code.
8 (w) The Authority may enter into agreements or
9 arrangements with Federal or State agencies to carry out the
10 purposes of this Act.
11 (x) The Authority may use any funds in its possession
12 remaining unexpended from the funds appropriated to the
13 Authority under Section 93 of Public Act 84-1108 as follows:
14 (1) to make a $1,000,000 ten-year, no-interest loan to the
15 Illinois Facilities Fund to assist in the development of
16 low-interest loans to nonprofit organizations; and (2) if and
17 only if the loan described in item (1) has been made, for any
18 of its general corporate purposes.

21 Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary,
22 the General Assembly hereby authorizes the use of such funds
23 for the purposes set forth in this Section.
24 These provisions do not apply to funds classified by the
25 Comptroller as federal trust funds or State trust funds. The
26 Audit Expense Fund may receive transfers from those trust
27 funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the
28 terms of the trust fund agreement. The Auditor General shall
29 notify the trustees of those funds of the estimated cost of
30 the audit to be incurred under the Illinois State Auditing
31 Act for the fund. The trustees of those funds shall direct
32 the State Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the estimated
33 amount to the Audit Expense Fund.
34 The Auditor General may bill entities that are not
-26- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 subject to the above transfer provisions, including private
2 entities, related organizations and entities whose funds are
3 locally-held, for the cost of audits, studies, and
4 investigations incurred on their behalf. Any revenues
5 received under this provision shall be deposited into the
6 Audit Expense Fund.
7 In the event that moneys on deposit in any fund are
8 unavailable, by reason of deficiency or any other reason
9 preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall
10 order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer the
11 amount deficient or otherwise unavailable from the General
12 Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund.
13 On or before December 1, 1992, and each December 1
14 thereafter, the Auditor General shall notify the Bureau of
15 the Budget of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for
16 audits, studies, and investigations in accordance with the
17 Illinois State Auditing Act during the next succeeding fiscal
18 year for each State fund for which a transfer or
19 reimbursement is anticipated.
20 Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal
21 year thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State
22 Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds
23 authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the
24 event funds, including federal and State trust funds but
25 excluding the General Revenue Fund, are transferred, during
26 fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal year thereafter, in
27 excess of the amount to pay actual costs attributable to
28 audits, studies, and investigations as permitted or required
29 by the Illinois State Auditing Act or specific action of the
30 General Assembly, the Auditor General shall, on September 30,
31 or as soon thereafter as is practicable, direct the State
32 Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the excess amount back
33 to the fund from which it was originally transferred.

3 Sec. 6z-45. The School Infrastructure Fund. The School
4 Infrastructure Fund is created as a special fund in the State
5 Treasury. Subject to the transfer provisions set forth below
6 appropriation, money in the School Infrastructure Fund shall,
7 if and when the State of Illinois incurs any bonded
8 indebtedness for the construction of school improvements
9 under the School Construction Act, be set aside and used for
10 the purpose of paying and discharging annually the principal
11 and interest on that bonded indebtedness then due and
12 payable, and for no other purpose. In addition to other
13 transfers to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
14 Interest Fund made pursuant to Section 15 of the General
15 Obligation Bond Act, upon each delivery of bonds issued for
16 construction of school improvements under the School
17 Construction Act, the State Comptroller shall compute and
18 certify to the State Treasurer the total amount of principal
19 of, interest on, and premium, if any, on such bonds during
20 the then current and each succeeding fiscal year. On or
21 before the last day of each month, the State Treasurer and
22 State Comptroller shall transfer from the School
23 Infrastructure Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement
24 and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate
25 of the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the
26 bonds payable on their next payment date, divided by the
27 number of monthly transfers occurring between the last
28 previous payment date (or the delivery date if no payment
29 date has yet occurred) and the next succeeding payment date.
30 The surplus, if any, in the School Infrastructure Fund
31 after the payment of principal and interest on that bonded
32 indebtedness then annually due shall, subject to
33 appropriation, be used as follows:
-28- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 First--to make 3 payments to the School Technology
2 Revolving Loan Fund as follows:
3 Transfer of $30,000,000 in fiscal year 1999;
4 Transfer of $20,000,000 in fiscal year 2000; and
5 Transfer of $10,000,000 in fiscal year 2001.
6 Second--to pay the expenses of the State Board of
7 Education and the Capital Development Board in administering
8 programs under the School Construction Act, the total
9 expenses not to exceed $1,000,000 in any fiscal year.
10 Third--to pay any amounts due for grants for school
11 construction projects and debt service under the School
12 Construction Act.

26 thereof as may be necessary, shall be transferred by the
27 State Treasurer and the State Comptroller from the General
28 Revenue Fund to the Common School Fund to permit monthly
29 payments from the Common School Fund to that retirement
30 system in accordance with Section 16-158 of the Illinois

23 Section 35. The Cigarette Tax Act is amended by changing
24 Section 2 as follows:
25 (35 ILCS 130/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 453.2)
26 Sec. 2. Tax imposed; rate; collection, payment, and
27 distribution; discount.
28 (a) A tax is imposed upon any person engaged in business
29 as a retailer of cigarettes in this State at the rate of 5
30 1/2 mills per cigarette sold, or otherwise disposed of in the
31 course of such business in this State. In addition to any
32 other tax imposed by this Act, a tax is imposed upon any
-36- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 person engaged in business as a retailer of cigarettes in
2 this State at a rate of 1/2 mill per cigarette sold or
3 otherwise disposed of in the course of such business in this
4 State on and after January 1, 1947, and shall be paid into
5 the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority Reconstruction
6 Fund. On and after December 1, 1985, in addition to any other
7 tax imposed by this Act, a tax is imposed upon any person
8 engaged in business as a retailer of cigarettes in this State
9 at a rate of 4 mills per cigarette sold or otherwise disposed
10 of in the course of such business in this State. Of the
11 additional tax imposed by this amendatory Act of 1985,
12 $9,000,000 of the moneys received by the Department of
13 Revenue pursuant to this Act shall be paid each month into
14 the Common School Fund. On and after the effective date of
15 this amendatory Act of 1989, in addition to any other tax
16 imposed by this Act, a tax is imposed upon any person engaged
17 in business as a retailer of cigarettes at the rate of 5
18 mills per cigarette sold or otherwise disposed of in the
19 course of such business in this State. On and after the
20 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993, in addition to
21 any other tax imposed by this Act, a tax is imposed upon any
22 person engaged in business as a retailer of cigarettes at the
23 rate of 7 mills per cigarette sold or otherwise disposed of
24 in the course of such business in this State. On and after
25 December 15, 1997, in addition to any other tax imposed by
26 this Act, a tax is imposed upon any person engaged in
27 business as a retailer of cigarettes at the rate of 7 mills
28 per cigarette sold or otherwise disposed of in the course of
29 such business of this State. All of the moneys received by
30 the Department of Revenue pursuant to this Act and the
31 Cigarette Use Tax Act from the additional taxes imposed by
32 this amendatory Act of 1997, shall be paid each month into
33 the Common School Fund. The payment of such taxes shall be
34 evidenced by a stamp affixed to each original package of
-37- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 cigarettes, or an authorized substitute for such stamp
2 imprinted on each original package of such cigarettes
3 underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper of such
4 original package, as hereinafter provided. However, such
5 taxes are not imposed upon any activity in such business in
6 interstate commerce or otherwise, which activity may not
7 under the Constitution and statutes of the United States be
8 made the subject of taxation by this State.
9 Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of
10 1998 1993, all of the moneys received by the Department of
11 Revenue pursuant to this Act and the Cigarette Use Tax Act,
12 other than the moneys that are dedicated to the Metropolitan
13 Fair and Exposition Authority Reconstruction Fund and the
14 Common School Fund, shall be distributed each month as
15 follows: first, there shall be paid into the General Revenue
16 Fund an amount which, when added to the amount paid into the
17 Common School Fund for that month, equals $33,300,000; then,
18 from the moneys remaining, if any amounts required to be paid
19 into the General Revenue Fund in previous months remain
20 unpaid, those amounts shall be paid into the General Revenue
21 Fund; then, from the moneys remaining, if any, amounts
22 required to be paid into the Long-Term Care Provider Fund in
23 previous months remain unpaid, those amounts shall be paid
24 into the Long-Term Care Provider Fund; then, from the moneys
25 remaining, $9,545,000 shall be paid into the Long-Term Care
26 Provider Fund (except that not more than $105,000,000 shall
27 be paid into the Long-Term Care Provider Fund in State fiscal
28 year 1994 from moneys received pursuant to this Act); and
29 finally the remaining moneys, if any, shall be paid into the
30 Hospital Provider Fund. To the extent that more than
31 $25,000,000 has been paid into the General Revenue Fund and
32 Common School Fund per month for the period of July 1, 1993
33 through the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1994
34 from combined receipts of the Cigarette Tax Act and the
-38- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 Cigarette Use Tax Act, notwithstanding the distribution
2 provided in this Section, the Department of Revenue is hereby
3 directed to adjust the distribution provided in this Section
4 to increase the next monthly payments to the Long Term Care
5 Provider Fund by the amount paid to the General Revenue Fund
6 and Common School Fund in excess of $25,000,000 per month and
7 to decrease the next monthly payments to the General Revenue
8 Fund and Common School Fund by that same excess amount.
9 When any tax imposed herein terminates or has terminated,
10 distributors who have bought stamps while such tax was in
11 effect and who therefore paid such tax, but who can show, to
12 the Department's satisfaction, that they sold the cigarettes
13 to which they affixed such stamps after such tax had
14 terminated and did not recover the tax or its equivalent from
15 purchasers, shall be allowed by the Department to take credit
16 for such absorbed tax against subsequent tax stamp purchases
17 from the Department by such distributor.
18 The impact of the tax levied by this Act is imposed upon
19 the retailer and shall be prepaid or pre-collected by the
20 distributor for the purpose of convenience and facility only,
21 and the amount of the tax shall be added to the price of the
22 cigarettes sold by such distributor. Collection of the tax
23 shall be evidenced by a stamp or stamps affixed to each
24 original package of cigarettes, as hereinafter provided.
25 Each distributor shall collect the tax from the retailer
26 at or before the time of the sale, shall affix the stamps as
27 hereinafter required, and shall remit the tax collected from
28 retailers to the Department, as hereinafter provided. Any
29 distributor who fails to properly collect and pay the tax
30 imposed by this Act shall be liable for the tax. Any
31 distributor having cigarettes to which stamps have been
32 affixed in his possession for sale on the effective date of
33 this amendatory Act of 1989 shall not be required to pay the
34 additional tax imposed by this amendatory Act of 1989 on such
-39- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 stamped cigarettes. Any distributor having cigarettes to
2 which stamps have been affixed in his or her possession for
3 sale at 12:01 a.m. on the effective date of this amendatory
4 Act of 1993, is required to pay the additional tax imposed by
5 this amendatory Act of 1993 on such stamped cigarettes. This
6 payment, less the discount provided in subsection (b), shall
7 be due when the distributor first makes a purchase of
8 cigarette tax stamps after the effective date of this
9 amendatory Act of 1993, or on the first due date of a return
10 under this Act after the effective date of this amendatory
11 Act of 1993, whichever occurs first. Any distributor having
12 cigarettes to which stamps have been affixed in his
13 possession for sale on December 15, 1997 shall not be
14 required to pay the additional tax imposed by this amendatory
15 Act of 1997 on such stamped cigarettes.
16 The amount of the Cigarette Tax imposed by this Act shall
17 be separately stated, apart from the price of the goods, by
18 both distributors and retailers, in all advertisements, bills
19 and sales invoices.
20 (b) The distributor shall be required to collect the
21 taxes provided under paragraph (a) hereof, and, to cover the
22 costs of such collection, shall be allowed a discount during
23 any year commencing July 1st and ending the following June
24 30th in accordance with the schedule set out hereinbelow,
25 which discount shall be allowed at the time of purchase of
26 the stamps when purchase is required by this Act, or at the
27 time when the tax is remitted to the Department without the
28 purchase of stamps from the Department when that method of
29 paying the tax is required or authorized by this Act. Prior
30 to December 1, 1985, a discount equal to 1 2/3% of the amount
31 of the tax up to and including the first $700,000 paid
32 hereunder by such distributor to the Department during any
33 such year; 1 1/3% of the next $700,000 of tax or any part
34 thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor to the Department
-40- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 during any such year; 1% of the next $700,000 of tax, or any
2 part thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor to the
3 Department during any such year, and 2/3 of 1% of the amount
4 of any additional tax paid hereunder by such distributor to
5 the Department during any such year shall apply. On and after
6 December 1, 1985, a discount equal to 1.75% of the amount of
7 the tax payable under this Act up to and including the first
8 $3,000,000 paid hereunder by such distributor to the
9 Department during any such year and 1.5% of the amount of any
10 additional tax paid hereunder by such distributor to the
11 Department during any such year shall apply.
12 Two or more distributors that use a common means of
13 affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled
14 by the same interests shall be treated as a single
15 distributor for the purpose of computing the discount.
16 (c) The taxes herein imposed are in addition to all
17 other occupation or privilege taxes imposed by the State of
18 Illinois, or by any political subdivision thereof, or by any
19 municipal corporation.

21 Section 40. The School Code is amended by changing
22 Section 13-44.4 as follows:
23 (105 ILCS 5/13-44.4) (from Ch. 122, par. 13-44.4)
24 Sec. 13-44.4. Department of Corrections Reimbursement
25 and Education Fund; budget. All moneys received from the
26 Common School Fund, federal aid and grants, vocational and
27 educational funds and grants, and gifts and grants by
28 individuals, foundations and corporations for educational
29 purposes shall be deposited into the Department of
30 Corrections Reimbursement and Education Fund, which is hereby
31 created as a special fund in the State Treasury. Moneys in
32 the Department of Corrections Reimbursement and Education
-41- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 Fund may shall be used, subject to appropriation, to pay the
2 expense of the schools and school district of the Department
3 of Corrections together with and supplemental to regular
4 appropriations to the Department for educational purposes,
5 including, but not limited to, the cost of teacher salaries,
6 supplies and materials, building upkeep and costs,
7 transportation, scholarships, non-academic salaries,
8 equipment and other school costs.
9 Beginning in 1972, the Board of Education shall, by
10 November 15, adopt an annual budget for the use of education
11 moneys for the next school year which it deems necessary to
12 defray all necessary expenses and liabilities of the
13 district, and in such annual budget shall specify the objects
14 and purposes of each item and the amount needed for each
15 object or purpose. The budget shall contain a statement of
16 cash on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year, an estimate
17 of the cash expected to be received during such fiscal year
18 from all sources, an estimate of the expenditure contemplated
19 for such fiscal year, and a statement of the estimated cash
20 expected to be on hand at the end of such year. Prior to the
21 adoption of the annual educational budget, this budget shall
22 be submitted to the Department of Corrections and the State
23 Board of Education for incorporation.

25 Section 45. If and only if Senate Bill 1338 of the 90th
26 General Assembly becomes law in the form in which it was
27 introduced, the Public Community College Act is amended by
28 changing Section 2-16.02 as follows:
29 (110 ILCS 805/2-16.02) (from Ch. 122, par. 102-16.02)
30 Sec. 2-16.02. Grants. Any community college district
31 that maintains a community college recognized by the State
32 Board shall receive, when eligible, grants enumerated in this
-42- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 Section. Funded semester credit hours or other measures or
2 both as specified by the State Board shall be used to
3 distribute grants to community colleges. Funded semester
4 credit hours shall be defined, for purposes of this Section,
5 as the greater of (1) the number of semester credit hours, or
6 equivalent, in all funded instructional categories of
7 students who have been certified as being in attendance at
8 midterm during the respective terms of the base fiscal year
9 or (2) the average of semester credit hours, or equivalent,
10 in all funded instructional categories of students who have
11 been certified as being in attendance at midterm during the
12 respective terms of the base fiscal year and the 2 prior
13 fiscal years. For purposes of this Section, "base fiscal
14 year" means the fiscal year 2 years prior to the fiscal year
15 for which the grants are appropriated. Such students shall
16 have been residents of Illinois and shall have been enrolled
17 in courses that are part of instructional program categories
18 approved by the State Board and that are applicable toward an
19 associate degree or certificate. Courses are not eligible
20 for reimbursement where the district receives federal or
21 State financing or both, except financing through the State
22 Board, for 50% or more of the program costs with the
23 exception of courses offered by contract with the Department
24 of Corrections in correctional institutions. Base operating
25 grants shall be paid based on rates per funded semester
26 credit hour or equivalent calculated by the State Board for
27 funded instructional categories using cost of instruction,
28 enrollment, inflation, and other relevant factors. A portion
29 of the base operating grant shall be allocated on the basis
30 of non-residential gross square footage of space maintained
31 by the district.
32 Equalization grants shall be calculated by the State
33 Board by determining a local revenue factor for each district
34 by: (A) adding (1) each district's Corporate Personal
-43- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 Property Replacement Fund allocations from the base fiscal
2 year or the average of the base fiscal year and prior year,
3 whichever is less, divided by the applicable statewide
4 average tax rate to (2) the district's most recently audited
5 year's equalized assessed valuation or the average of the
6 most recently audited year and prior year, whichever is less,
7 (B) then dividing by the district's audited full-time
8 equivalent resident students for the base fiscal year or the
9 average for the base fiscal year and the 2 prior fiscal
10 years, whichever is greater, and (C) then multiplying by the
11 applicable statewide average tax rate. The State Board shall
12 calculate a statewide weighted average threshold by applying
13 the same methodology to the totals of all districts'
14 Corporate Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund allocations,
15 equalized assessed valuations, and audited full-time
16 equivalent district resident students and multiplying by the
17 applicable statewide average tax rate. The difference
18 between the statewide weighted average threshold and the
19 local revenue factor, multiplied by the number of full-time
20 equivalent resident students, shall determine the amount of
21 equalization funding that each district is eligible to
22 receive. A percentage factor, as determined by the State
23 Board, may be applied to the statewide threshold as a method
24 for allocating equalization funding. A minimum equalization
25 grant of an amount per district as determined by the State
26 Board shall be established for any community college district
27 which qualifies for an equalization grant based upon the
28 preceding criteria, but becomes ineligible for equalization
29 funding, or would have received a grant of less than the
30 minimum equalization grant, due to threshold prorations
31 applied to reduce equalization funding. As of July 1, 1997,
32 community college districts must maintain a minimum required
33 in-district tuition rate per semester credit hour as
34 determined by the State Board. For each fiscal year between
-44- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 July 1, 1997 and June 30, 2001, districts not meeting the
2 minimum required rate will be subject to a percent reduction
3 of equalization funding as determined by the State Board. As
4 of July 1, 2001, districts must meet the required minimum
5 in-district tuition rate to qualify for equalization funding.
6 The State Board shall distribute such other grants as may
7 be authorized or appropriated by the General Assembly.
8 Each community college district entitled to State grants
9 under this Section must submit a report of its enrollment to
10 the State Board not later than 30 days following the end of
11 each semester, quarter, or term in a format prescribed by the
12 State Board. These semester credit hours, or equivalent,
13 shall be certified by each district on forms provided by the
14 State Board. Each district's certified semester credit
15 hours, or equivalent, are subject to audit pursuant to
16 Section 3-22.1.
17 The State Board shall certify, prepare, and submit to the
18 State Comptroller during August, November, February, and May
19 of each fiscal year vouchers setting forth an amount equal to
20 25% of the grants approved by the State Board for base
21 operating grants and equalization grants. The State Board
22 shall prepare and submit to the State Comptroller vouchers
23 for payments of other grants as appropriated by the General
24 Assembly. If the amount appropriated for grants is different
25 from the amount provided for such grants under this Act, the
26 grants shall be proportionately reduced or increased
27 accordingly.
28 For the purposes of this Section, "resident student"
29 means a student in a community college district who maintains
30 residency in that district or meets other residency
31 definitions established by the State Board, and who was
32 enrolled either in one of the approved instructional program
33 categories in that district, or in another community college
34 district to which the resident's district is paying tuition
-45- LRB9011518EGfgam02
1 under Section 6-2 or with which the resident's district has
2 entered into a cooperative agreement in lieu of such tuition.
3 For the purposes of this Section, a "full-time
4 equivalent" student is equal to 30 semester credit hours.
5 The Illinois Community College Board Contracts and Grants
6 Fund is hereby created in the State Treasury. Items of
7 income to this fund shall include any grants, awards,
8 endowments, or like proceeds, and where appropriate, other
9 funds made available through contracts with governmental,
10 public, and private agencies or persons. The General
11 Assembly shall from time to time make appropriations payable
12 from such fund for the support, improvement, and expenses of
13 the State Board and Illinois community college districts.
