        Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act and the  Civil  Administrative

   receive  a  certificate  of  eligibility  from   the   Department   of      
   Transportation  in  an  amount equal to 50% of the amounts expended by      
   the taxpayer on soundproofing a building that (1) is within 5 miles of      
   O'Hare International Airport or Midway Airport or (2) is within the 60      
   day-night average sound level (DNL) noise contour area.  Provides that      
   the credit may not exceed $10,000 and may not  reduce  the  taxpayer's      
   liability  under  the  Act  to  less  than  zero.   Provides  that the      
   Department of Transportation,  in  cooperation  with  the  communities

   determining who is eligible for a certificate of eligibility  for  the      
   credit.   Applicable  to  tax  years  beginning on or after January 1,
