 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1666, AS  AMENDED,
 3    on page 1, by replacing line 5 with the following:
 4    "Sections 15-10 and 21-310 as follows:

 5        (35 ILCS 200/15-10)
 6        Sec.     15-10.  Exempt    property;    procedures    for
 7    certification.  All property  granted  an  exemption  by  the
 8    Department  pursuant  to the requirements of Section 15-5 and
 9    described  in  the  Sections  following  Section  15-30   and
10    preceding  Section  16-5,  to  the extent therein limited, is
11    exempt from  taxation.  In  order  to  maintain  that  exempt
12    status,  the  titleholder  or  the  owner  of  the beneficial
13    interest of any property that is exempt must  file  with  the
14    chief  county  assessment officer, on or before January 31 of
15    each year (May 31 in the case of property exempted by Section
16    15-170), an affidavit stating  whether  there  has  been  any
17    change  in the ownership or use of the property or the status
18    of  the  owner-resident,  or  that  a  disabled  veteran  who
19    qualifies under Section 15-165 owned and used the property as
20    of January 1 of that year.  The nature of any change shall be
21    stated in the  affidavit.    Failure  to  file  an  affidavit
22    shall,   in   the   discretion  of  the  assessment  officer,
23    constitute cause to terminate the exemption of that property,
 
                            -2-           SRS92SB1666NCcpam01

 2    or more such exempt parcels within a county may file a single
 3    annual affidavit in lieu of an  affidavit  for  each  parcel.
 4    The  assessment  officer,  upon  request,  shall  furnish  an
 5    affidavit  form  to  the owners, in which the owner may state
 6    whether there has been any change in the ownership or use  of
 7    the property or status of the owner or resident as of January
 8    1  of  that year. The owner of 5 or more exempt parcels shall
 9    list all the properties giving the same information for  each
10    parcel as required of owners who file individual affidavits.
11        However,   titleholders   or  owners  of  the  beneficial
12    interest in any property exempted under any of the  following
13    provisions  are not required to submit an annual filing under
14    this Section:
15             (1)  Section 15-45 (burial grounds) in  counties  of
16        less   than   3,000,000   inhabitants   and  owned  by  a
17        not-for-profit organization.
18             (2)  Section 15-40.
19             (3)  Section 15-50 (United States property).
20             (4)  As is otherwise provided in Sections 15-170 and
21        15-175 (senior and general homestead exemptions).
22    If there is a change in use  or  ownership,  however,  notice
23    must be filed pursuant to Section 15-20.
24        Annual  application  for  homestead  exemptions  shall be
25    filed  as  provided  in  Section  15-170   (senior   citizens
26    homestead   exemption),   Section   15-172  (senior  citizens
27    assessment freeze homestead exemption),  and  Section  15-175
28    (general homestead exemption), respectively.
