    Sec. 5h.5. Cash flow borrowing and general funds

    (a) In order to meet cash flow deficits and to maintain
liquidity in general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve
Fund, on and after July 1, 2017 and through June 30, 2022 2021,
the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller, in consultation
with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, shall
make transfers to general funds and the Health Insurance
Reserve Fund, as directed by the State Comptroller, out of
special funds of the State, to the extent allowed by federal
law.
    No such transfer may reduce the cumulative balance of all
of the special funds of the State to an amount less than the
total debt service payable during the 12 months immediately
following the date of the transfer on any bonded indebtedness
of the State and any certificates issued under the Short Term
Borrowing Act. At no time shall the outstanding total
transfers made from the special funds of the State to general
funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund under this Section
exceed $1,500,000,000; once the amount of $1,500,000,000 has
been transferred from the special funds of the State to
general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund,
additional transfers may be made from the special funds of the
State to general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund
under this Section only to the extent that moneys have first
been re-transferred from general funds and the Health
Insurance Reserve Fund to those special funds of the State.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no such
transfer may be made from any special fund that is exclusively
collected by or directly appropriated to any other
constitutional officer without the written approval of that
constitutional officer.
    (b) If moneys have been transferred to general funds and
the Health Insurance Reserve Fund pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section, Public Act 100-23 shall constitute the
continuing authority for and direction to the State Treasurer
and State Comptroller to reimburse the funds of origin from
general funds by transferring to the funds of origin, at such
times and in such amounts as directed by the Comptroller when
necessary to support appropriated expenditures from the funds,
an amount equal to that transferred from them plus any
interest that would have accrued thereon had the transfer not
occurred, except that any moneys transferred pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section shall be repaid to the fund of
origin within 60 48 months after the date on which they were
borrowed. When any of the funds from which moneys have been
transferred pursuant to subsection (a) have insufficient cash
from which the State Comptroller may make expenditures
properly supported by appropriations from the fund, then the
State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from
general funds to the fund only such amount as is immediately
necessary to satisfy outstanding expenditure obligations on a
timely basis.
    (c) On the first day of each quarterly period in each
fiscal year, until such time as a report indicates that all
moneys borrowed and interest pursuant to this Section have
been repaid, the Comptroller shall provide to the President
and the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker and the
Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the
Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability a
report on all transfers made pursuant to this Section in the
prior quarterly period. The report must be provided in
electronic format. The report must include all of the
following:

    fund of origin pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section,
    the amount of interest being paid to the fund of origin;
    and

    general funds, and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund on

tourism and convention bureaus that are (i) either units of
local government or incorporated as not-for-profit
organizations; (ii) in legal existence for a minimum of 2
years before July 1, 2001; (iii) operating with a paid,

greater than 500,000. The remaining two-thirds of the annual
appropriation prior to July 1, 2011 shall be used for grants to
convention and tourism bureaus in the remainder of the State,
in accordance with a formula based upon the population served.
Of the amounts appropriated annually to the Department for
expenditure under this Section beginning July 1, 2011, 18% of
such moneys shall be used for grants to convention and tourism
bureaus in cities with a population greater than 500,000. Of
the amounts appropriated annually to the Department for
expenditure under this Section beginning July 1, 2011, 82% of
such moneys shall be used for grants to convention bureaus in
the remainder of the State, in accordance with a formula based
upon the population served. The Department may reserve up to
3% of total local tourism funds available for costs of
administering the program to conduct audits of grants, to
provide incentive funds to those bureaus that will conduct
promotional activities designed to further the Department's
statewide advertising campaign, to fund special statewide
promotional activities, and to fund promotional activities
that support an increased use of the State's parks or historic
sites. The Department shall require that any convention and
tourism bureau receiving a grant under this Section that
requires matching funds shall provide matching funds equal to
no less than 50% of the grant amount except that in Fiscal
Years 2021 and 2022 only Year 2021, the Department shall
require that any convention and tourism bureau receiving a
grant under this Section that requires matching funds shall

amount. During fiscal year 2013, the Department shall reserve
$2,000,000 of the available local tourism funds for

    Section 3-46. The State Finance Act is amended by
repealing Section 5.414.
 
    Section 3-50. The State Revenue Sharing Act is amended by
changing Section 12 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 115/12)  (from Ch. 85, par. 616)
    Sec. 12. Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund. There is
hereby created the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund, a
special fund in the State Treasury into which shall be paid all
revenue realized:
        (a) all amounts realized from the additional personal
    property tax replacement income tax imposed by subsections
    (c) and (d) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act,
    except for those amounts deposited into the Income Tax
    Refund Fund pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 901 of
    the Illinois Income Tax Act; and
        (b) all amounts realized from the additional personal
    property replacement invested capital taxes imposed by
    Section 2a.1 of the Messages Tax Act, Section 2a.1 of the
    Gas Revenue Tax Act, Section 2a.1 of the Public Utilities
    Revenue Act, and Section 3 of the Water Company Invested
    Capital Tax Act, and amounts payable to the Department of
    Revenue under the Telecommunications Infrastructure
    Maintenance Fee Act.
    As soon as may be after the end of each month, the
Department of Revenue shall certify to the Treasurer and the
Comptroller the amount of all refunds paid out of the General
Revenue Fund through the preceding month on account of
overpayment of liability on taxes paid into the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund. Upon receipt of such
certification, the Treasurer and the Comptroller shall
transfer the amount so certified from the Personal Property
Tax Replacement Fund into the General Revenue Fund.
    The payments of revenue into the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund shall be used exclusively for distribution to
taxing districts, regional offices and officials, and local
officials as provided in this Section and in the School Code,
payment of the ordinary and contingent expenses of the
Property Tax Appeal Board, payment of the expenses of the
Department of Revenue incurred in administering the collection
and distribution of monies paid into the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund and transfers due to refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability for taxes paid into the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund.
    In addition, moneys in the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund may be used to pay any of the following: (i)
salary, stipends, and additional compensation as provided by
law for chief election clerks, county clerks, and county
recorders; (ii) costs associated with regional offices of
education and educational service centers; (iii)
reimbursements payable by the State Board of Elections under
Section 4-25, 5-35, 6-71, 13-10, 13-10a, or 13-11 of the
Election Code; (iv) expenses of the Illinois Educational Labor
Relations Board; and (v) salary, personal services, and
additional compensation as provided by law for court reporters
under the Court Reporters Act.
    As soon as may be after June 26, 1980 (the effective date
of Public Act 81-1255), the Department of Revenue shall
certify to the Treasurer the amount of net replacement revenue
paid into the General Revenue Fund prior to that effective
date from the additional tax imposed by Section 2a.1 of the
Messages Tax Act; Section 2a.1 of the Gas Revenue Tax Act;
Section 2a.1 of the Public Utilities Revenue Act; Section 3 of
the Water Company Invested Capital Tax Act; amounts collected
by the Department of Revenue under the Telecommunications
Infrastructure Maintenance Fee Act; and the additional
personal property tax replacement income tax imposed by the
Illinois Income Tax Act, as amended by Public Act 81-1st
Special Session-1. Net replacement revenue shall be defined as
the total amount paid into and remaining in the General
Revenue Fund as a result of those Acts minus the amount
outstanding and obligated from the General Revenue Fund in
state vouchers or warrants prior to June 26, 1980 (the
effective date of Public Act 81-1255) as refunds to taxpayers
for overpayment of liability under those Acts.
    All interest earned by monies accumulated in the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be deposited in such Fund.
All amounts allocated pursuant to this Section are
appropriated on a continuing basis.
    Prior to December 31, 1980, as soon as may be after the end
of each quarter beginning with the quarter ending December 31,
1979, and on and after December 31, 1980, as soon as may be
after January 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, July 1, August 1,
October 1 and December 1 of each year, the Department of
Revenue shall allocate to each taxing district as defined in
Section 1-150 of the Property Tax Code, in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (2) of this Section the portion of the
funds held in the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund which
is required to be distributed, as provided in paragraph (1),
for each quarter. Provided, however, under no circumstances
shall any taxing district during each of the first two years of
distribution of the taxes imposed by Public Act 81-1st Special
Session-1 be entitled to an annual allocation which is less
than the funds such taxing district collected from the 1978
personal property tax. Provided further that under no
circumstances shall any taxing district during the third year
of distribution of the taxes imposed by Public Act 81-1st
Special Session-1 receive less than 60% of the funds such
taxing district collected from the 1978 personal property tax.
In the event that the total of the allocations made as above
provided for all taxing districts, during either of such 3
years, exceeds the amount available for distribution the
allocation of each taxing district shall be proportionately
reduced. Except as provided in Section 13 of this Act, the
Department shall then certify, pursuant to appropriation, such
allocations to the State Comptroller who shall pay over to the
several taxing districts the respective amounts allocated to
them.
    Any township which receives an allocation based in whole
or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied
pursuant to Section 6-507 or 6-512 of the Illinois Highway
Code and which was previously required to be paid over to a
municipality shall immediately pay over to that municipality a
proportionate share of the personal property replacement funds
which such township receives.
    Any municipality or township, other than a municipality
with a population in excess of 500,000, which receives an
allocation based in whole or in part on personal property
taxes which it levied pursuant to Sections 3-1, 3-4 and 3-6 of
the Illinois Local Library Act and which was previously
required to be paid over to a public library shall immediately
pay over to that library a proportionate share of the personal
property tax replacement funds which such municipality or
township receives; provided that if such a public library has
converted to a library organized under the Illinois Public
Library District Act, regardless of whether such conversion
has occurred on, after or before January 1, 1988, such
proportionate share shall be immediately paid over to the
library district which maintains and operates the library.
However, any library that has converted prior to January 1,
1988, and which hitherto has not received the personal
property tax replacement funds, shall receive such funds
commencing on January 1, 1988.
    Any township which receives an allocation based in whole
or in part on personal property taxes which it levied pursuant
to Section 1c of the Public Graveyards Act and which taxes were
previously required to be paid over to or used for such public
cemetery or cemeteries shall immediately pay over to or use
for such public cemetery or cemeteries a proportionate share
of the personal property tax replacement funds which the
township receives.
    Any taxing district which receives an allocation based in
whole or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied
for another governmental body or school district in Cook
County in 1976 or for another governmental body or school
district in the remainder of the State in 1977 shall
immediately pay over to that governmental body or school
district the amount of personal property replacement funds
which such governmental body or school district would receive
directly under the provisions of paragraph (2) of this
Section, had it levied its own taxes.
        (1) The portion of the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund required to be distributed as of the time
    allocation is required to be made shall be the amount
    available in such Fund as of the time allocation is
    required to be made.
        The amount available for distribution shall be the
    total amount in the fund at such time minus the necessary
    administrative and other authorized expenses as limited by
    the appropriation and the amount determined by: (a) $2.8
    million for fiscal year 1981; (b) for fiscal year 1982,
    .54% of the funds distributed from the fund during the
    preceding fiscal year; (c) for fiscal year 1983 through
    fiscal year 1988, .54% of the funds distributed from the
    fund during the preceding fiscal year less .02% of such
    fund for fiscal year 1983 and less .02% of such funds for
    each fiscal year thereafter; (d) for fiscal year 1989
    through fiscal year 2011 no more than 105% of the actual
    administrative expenses of the prior fiscal year; (e) for
    fiscal year 2012 and beyond, a sufficient amount to pay
    (i) stipends, additional compensation, salary
    reimbursements, and other amounts directed to be paid out
    of this Fund for local officials as authorized or required
    by statute and (ii) the ordinary and contingent expenses
    of the Property Tax Appeal Board and the expenses of the
    Department of Revenue incurred in administering the
    collection and distribution of moneys paid into the Fund;
    (f) for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 only, a sufficient
    amount to pay stipends, additional compensation, salary
    reimbursements, and other amounts directed to be paid out
    of this Fund for regional offices and officials as
    authorized or required by statute; or (g) for fiscal years
    2018 through 2022 2021 only, a sufficient amount to pay
    amounts directed to be paid out of this Fund for public
    community college base operating grants and local health
    protection grants to certified local health departments as
    authorized or required by appropriation or statute. Such
    portion of the fund shall be determined after the transfer
    into the General Revenue Fund due to refunds, if any, paid
    from the General Revenue Fund during the preceding
    quarter. If at any time, for any reason, there is
    insufficient amount in the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund for payments for regional offices and
    officials or local officials or payment of costs of
    administration or for transfers due to refunds at the end
    of any particular month, the amount of such insufficiency
    shall be carried over for the purposes of payments for
    regional offices and officials, local officials, transfers
    into the General Revenue Fund, and costs of administration
    to the following month or months. Net replacement revenue
    held, and defined above, shall be transferred by the
    Treasurer and Comptroller to the Personal Property Tax
    Replacement Fund within 10 days of such certification.
        (2) Each quarterly allocation shall first be
    apportioned in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing
    districts in Cook County and 48.35% for taxing districts
    in the remainder of the State.
    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County is
the personal property tax collections for that taxing district
for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal
property tax collections for all taxing districts in the State
outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and
completeness the personal property tax collections for each
taxing district outside Cook County for the 1977 tax year.
    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook
County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of
that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax
Base of each Cook County taxing district is the personal
property tax collections for that taxing district for the 1976
tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the personal property tax
collections for all taxing districts in Cook County for the
1976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have authority
to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property
tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County
for the 1976 tax year.
    For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the
Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal
property taxes of each such taxing district for the applicable
tax year or years.
    Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or
more other counties shall receive both a Cook County
allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same
way as all other taxing districts.
    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued
taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
1979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
the taxing districts which have consolidated.
    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
district so divided shall be allocated to each of the
resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current
equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the
same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
annexation is made.
    If a community college district is created after July 1,
1979, beginning on January 1, 1996 (the effective date of
Public Act 89-327), its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of
the personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year
within the territorial jurisdiction of the district.
    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts
pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 81-1st Special
Session-1 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the
revenues derived from taxes imposed on personal property
pursuant to the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An
Act for the assessment and taxation of private car line
companies", approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414
of the Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such
taxes and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues
derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate.
    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
previously levied and collected from extensions against
personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
which were previously levied and collected from extensions
against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
debt service which was collected from extensions against real
estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
from extensions against both real and personal property. For
1979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
district which will yield the said percentage or percentages
of the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of
the amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by
Public Act 81-1255 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to
be collected in 1981.

    Section 3-55. The General Obligation Bond Act is amended
by changing Section 16 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 330/16)  (from Ch. 127, par. 666)
    Sec. 16. Refunding Bonds. The State of Illinois is
authorized to issue, sell, and provide for the retirement of
General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois in the
amount of $4,839,025,000, at any time and from time to time
outstanding, for the purpose of refunding any State of
Illinois general obligation Bonds then outstanding, including
(i) the payment of any redemption premium thereon, (ii) any
reasonable expenses of such refunding, (iii) any interest
accrued or to accrue to the earliest or any subsequent date of
redemption or maturity of such outstanding Bonds, (iv) for
fiscal year 2019 only, any necessary payments to providers of
interest rate exchange agreements in connection with the
termination of such agreements by the State in connection with
the refunding, and (v) any interest to accrue to the first
interest payment on the refunding Bonds; provided that all
non-refunding Bonds in an issue that includes refunding Bonds
shall mature no later than the final maturity date of Bonds
being refunded; provided that no refunding Bonds shall be
offered for sale unless the net present value of debt service
savings to be achieved by the issuance of the refunding Bonds
is 3% or more of the principal amount of the refunding Bonds to
be issued; and further provided that, except for refunding
Bonds sold in fiscal year 2009, 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018, or
2019, or 2022, the maturities of the refunding Bonds shall not
extend beyond the maturities of the Bonds they refund, so that
for each fiscal year in the maturity schedule of a particular
issue of refunding Bonds, the total amount of refunding
principal maturing and redemption amounts due in that fiscal
year and all prior fiscal years in that schedule shall be
greater than or equal to the total amount of refunded
principal and redemption amounts that had been due over that
year and all prior fiscal years prior to the refunding.
    The Governor shall notify the State Treasurer and
Comptroller of such refunding. The proceeds received from the
sale of refunding Bonds shall be used for the retirement at
maturity or redemption of such outstanding Bonds on any
maturity or redemption date and, pending such use, shall be
placed in escrow, subject to such terms and conditions as
shall be provided for in the Bond Sale Order relating to the
Refunding Bonds. Proceeds not needed for deposit in an escrow
account shall be deposited in the General Obligation Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund. This Act shall constitute an
irrevocable and continuing appropriation of all amounts
necessary to establish an escrow account for the purpose of
refunding outstanding general obligation Bonds and to pay the
reasonable expenses of such refunding and of the issuance and
sale of the refunding Bonds. Any such escrowed proceeds may be
invested and reinvested in direct obligations of the United
States of America, maturing at such time or times as shall be
appropriate to assure the prompt payment, when due, of the
principal of and interest and redemption premium, if any, on
the refunded Bonds. After the terms of the escrow have been
fully satisfied, any remaining balance of such proceeds and
interest, income and profits earned or realized on the
investments thereof shall be paid into the General Revenue
Fund. The liability of the State upon the Bonds shall
continue, provided that the holders thereof shall thereafter
be entitled to payment only out of the moneys deposited in the
escrow account.
    Except as otherwise herein provided in this Section, such
refunding Bonds shall in all other respects be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Act.

    Section 3-60. The Metropolitan Civic Center Support Act is
amended by changing Section 5 and by adding Sections 20 and 21

    Sec. 5. To the extent that moneys in the MEAOB Fund, in the
opinion of the Governor and the Director of the Governor's
Office of Management and Budget, are in excess of 125% of the
maximum debt service in any fiscal year, the Governor shall
notify the Comptroller and the State Treasurer of that fact,
who upon receipt of such notification shall transfer the
excess moneys from the MEAOB Fund to the General Revenue Fund.
By June 30, 2021, the State Comptroller shall direct and the
State Treasurer shall transfer any remaining balance from the
MEAOB Fund into the General Revenue Fund. Upon completion of
the transfer of the remaining balance, the MEAOB Fund is
dissolved, and any future deposits due to that Fund and any
outstanding obligations or liabilities of that Fund pass to

changing Section 15 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 425/15)  (from Ch. 127, par. 2815)
    Sec. 15. Refunding Bonds. Refunding Bonds are hereby
authorized for the purpose of refunding any outstanding Bonds,
including the payment of any redemption premium thereon, any
reasonable expenses of such refunding, and any interest
accrued or to accrue to the earliest or any subsequent date of
redemption or maturity of outstanding Bonds; provided that all
non-refunding Bonds in an issue that includes refunding Bonds
shall mature no later than the final maturity date of Bonds
being refunded; provided that no refunding Bonds shall be
offered for sale unless the net present value of debt service
savings to be achieved by the issuance of the refunding Bonds
is 3% or more of the principal amount of the refunding Bonds to
be issued; and further provided that, except for refunding
Bonds sold in fiscal years year 2009, 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018,
or 2019, or 2022 the maturities of the refunding Bonds shall
not extend beyond the maturities of the Bonds they refund, so
that for each fiscal year in the maturity schedule of a
particular issue of refunding Bonds, the total amount of
refunding principal maturing and redemption amounts due in
that fiscal year and all prior fiscal years in that schedule
shall be greater than or equal to the total amount of refunded
principal and redemption amounts that had been due over that
year and all prior fiscal years prior to the refunding.
    Refunding Bonds may be sold in such amounts and at such
times, as directed by the Governor upon recommendation by the
Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget.
The Governor shall notify the State Treasurer and Comptroller
of such refunding. The proceeds received from the sale of
refunding Bonds shall be used for the retirement at maturity
or redemption of such outstanding Bonds on any maturity or
redemption date and, pending such use, shall be placed in
escrow, subject to such terms and conditions as shall be
provided for in the Bond Sale Order relating to the refunding
Bonds. This Act shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing
appropriation of all amounts necessary to establish an escrow
account for the purpose of refunding outstanding Bonds and to
pay the reasonable expenses of such refunding and of the
issuance and sale of the refunding Bonds. Any such escrowed
proceeds may be invested and reinvested in direct obligations
of the United States of America, maturing at such time or times
as shall be appropriate to assure the prompt payment, when
due, of the principal of and interest and redemption premium,
if any, on the refunded Bonds. After the terms of the escrow
have been fully satisfied, any remaining balance of such
proceeds and interest, income and profits earned or realized
on the investments thereof shall be paid into the General
Revenue Fund. The liability of the State upon the refunded
Bonds shall continue, provided that the holders thereof shall
thereafter be entitled to payment only out of the moneys
deposited in the escrow account and the refunded Bonds shall
be deemed paid, discharged and no longer to be outstanding.
    Except as otherwise herein provided in this Section, such
refunding Bonds shall in all other respects be issued pursuant
to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Act and
shall be secured by and payable from only the funds and sources
which are provided under this Act.

be included in the determination of adjusted gross receipts.
    Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (a-5),
for the first 10 years that the privilege tax is imposed under
this subsection (a-5), the privilege tax shall be imposed on
the modified annual adjusted gross receipts of a riverboat or
casino conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
Louis, unless:
        (1) the riverboat or casino fails to employ at least
    450 people;
        (2) the riverboat or casino fails to maintain
    operations in a manner consistent with this Act or is not a
    viable riverboat or casino subject to the approval of the
    Board; or
        (3) the owners licensee is not an entity in which
    employees participate in an employee stock ownership plan.
    As used in this subsection (a-5), "modified annual
adjusted gross receipts" means:
        (A) for calendar year 2020, the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for the current year minus the difference between
    an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
    receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
    operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
    2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for 2018;
        (B) for calendar year 2021, the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for the current year minus the difference between
    an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
    receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
    operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
    2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
    receipts for 2019; and
        (C) for calendar years 2022 through 2029, the annual
    adjusted gross receipts for the current year minus the
    difference between an amount equal to the average annual
    adjusted gross receipts from a riverboat or casino
    conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
    Louis for 3 years preceding the current year and the
    annual adjusted gross receipts for the immediately
    preceding year.
    (a-6) From June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
101-31) until June 30, 2023, an owners licensee that conducted
gambling operations prior to January 1, 2011 shall receive a
dollar-for-dollar credit against the tax imposed under this
Section for any renovation or construction costs paid by the
owners licensee, but in no event shall the credit exceed
$2,000,000.
    Additionally, from June 28, 2019 (the effective date of
Public Act 101-31) until December 31, 2022, an owners licensee
that (i) is located within 15 miles of the Missouri border, and
(ii) has at least 3 riverboats, casinos, or their equivalent
within a 45-mile radius, may be authorized to relocate to a new
location with the approval of both the unit of local
government designated as the home dock and the Board, so long
as the new location is within the same unit of local government
and no more than 3 miles away from its original location. Such
owners licensee shall receive a credit against the tax imposed
under this Section equal to 8% of the total project costs, as
approved by the Board, for any renovation or construction
costs paid by the owners licensee for the construction of the
new facility, provided that the new facility is operational by
July 1, 2022. In determining whether or not to approve a
relocation, the Board must consider the extent to which the
relocation will diminish the gaming revenues received by other
Illinois gaming facilities.
    (a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through
the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed
pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an
owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross
receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the
total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is
required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the
extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts
in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross
receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax
reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation
imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be
reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund
from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but
instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against
any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar
year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection
(a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall
occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment
year.
    If an owners licensee that conducted gambling operations
prior to January 1, 2019 expands its riverboat or casino,
including, but not limited to, with respect to its gaming
floor, additional non-gaming amenities such as restaurants,
bars, and hotels and other additional facilities, and incurs
construction and other costs related to such expansion from
June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until
June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of
Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any
such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by
the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be
extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall
increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each
calendar year until and including the final adjustment year.
No further modifications to the final adjustment year or
annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is
incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion
so that the final adjustment year shall not extend beyond the
9th calendar year after the initial adjustment year, not
including the initial adjustment year, and the annual
adjustment cap shall not exceed 4% of adjusted gross receipts
in a particular calendar year. Construction and other costs
related to expansion shall include all project related costs,
including, but not limited to, all hard and soft costs,
financing costs, on or off-site ground, road or utility work,
cost of gaming equipment and all other personal property,
initial fees assessed for each incremental gaming position,
and the cost of incremental land acquired for such expansion.
Soft costs shall include, but not be limited to, legal fees,
architect, engineering and design costs, other consultant
costs, insurance cost, permitting costs, and pre-opening costs
related to the expansion, including, but not limited to, any
of the following: marketing, real estate taxes, personnel,
training, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, supply,
inventory, and other costs, and any other project related soft
costs.
    To be eligible for the tax credits in subsection (a-6),
all construction contracts shall include a requirement that
the contractor enter into a project labor agreement with the
building and construction trades council with geographic
jurisdiction of the location of the proposed gaming facility.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(a-7), this subsection (a-7) does not apply to an owners
licensee unless such owners licensee spends at least
$15,000,000 on construction and other costs related to its
expansion, excluding the initial fees assessed for each
incremental gaming position.
    This subsection (a-7) does not apply to owners licensees
authorized pursuant to subsection (e-5) of Section 7 of this
Act.
    For purposes of this subsection (a-7):

    of Public Act 101-31);

the initial adjustment year, not including the initial
adjustment year, and as may be extended further as described

tax imposed under this Section.
    (a-9) Beginning on January 1, 2020, the calculation of
gross receipts or adjusted gross receipts, for the purposes of
this Section, for a riverboat, a casino, or an organization
gaming facility shall not include the dollar amount of
non-cashable vouchers, coupons, and electronic promotions
redeemed by wagerers upon the riverboat, in the casino, or in
the organization gaming facility up to and including an amount
not to exceed 20% of a riverboat's, a casino's, or an
organization gaming facility's adjusted gross receipts.
    The Illinois Gaming Board shall submit to the General
Assembly a comprehensive report no later than March 31, 2023
detailing, at a minimum, the effect of removing non-cashable
vouchers, coupons, and electronic promotions from this
calculation on net gaming revenues to the State in calendar
years 2020 through 2022, the increase or reduction in wagerers
as a result of removing non-cashable vouchers, coupons, and
electronic promotions from this calculation, the effect of the
tax rates in subsection (a-5) on net gaming revenues to this
State, and proposed modifications to the calculation.
    (a-10) The taxes imposed by this Section shall be paid by
the licensed owner or the organization gaming licensee to the
Board not later than 5:00 o'clock p.m. of the day after the day
when the wagers were made.
    (a-15) If the privilege tax imposed under subsection (a-3)
is no longer imposed pursuant to item (i) of the last paragraph
of subsection (a-3), then by June 15 of each year, each owners
licensee, other than an owners licensee that admitted
1,000,000 persons or fewer in calendar year 2004, must, in
addition to the payment of all amounts otherwise due under
this Section, pay to the Board a reconciliation payment in the
amount, if any, by which the licensed owner's base amount
exceeds the amount of net privilege tax paid by the licensed
owner to the Board in the then current State fiscal year. A
licensed owner's net privilege tax obligation due for the
balance of the State fiscal year shall be reduced up to the
total of the amount paid by the licensed owner in its June 15
reconciliation payment. The obligation imposed by this
subsection (a-15) is binding on any person, firm, corporation,

such owners license. The obligation imposed under this
subsection (a-15) terminates on the earliest of: (i) July 1,
2007, (ii) the first day after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly that riverboat
gambling operations are conducted pursuant to a dormant

license that is in addition to the 10 owners licenses

(A) an act or acts of God, (B) an act of bioterrorism or
terrorism or a bioterrorism or terrorism threat that was
investigated by a law enforcement agency, or (C) a condition
beyond the control of the owners licensee that does not result
from any act or omission by the owners licensee or any of its
agents and that poses a hazardous threat to the health and
safety of patrons. If an owners licensee pays an amount in
excess of its liability under this Section, the Board shall
apply the overpayment to future payments required under this
Section.
    For purposes of this subsection (a-15):

Public Act 94-673 with respect to the amount of the payments
required to be made under this subsection by an owners
licensee to the Board.

deposited in the State Gaming Fund under this Section, an
amount equal to 5% of adjusted gross receipts generated by a
riverboat or a casino, other than a riverboat or casino
designated in paragraph (1), (3), or (4) of subsection (e-5)
of Section 7, shall be paid monthly, subject to appropriation
by the General Assembly, to the unit of local government in

    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, for
facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health under
the Nursing Home Care Act as intermediate care facilities that
are federally defined as Institutions for Mental Disease, or
facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health under
the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, a
socio-development component rate equal to 6.6% of the
facility's nursing component rate as of January 1, 2006 shall
be established and paid effective July 1, 2006. The
socio-development component of the rate shall be increased by
a factor of 2.53 on the first day of the month that begins at
least 45 days after January 11, 2008 (the effective date of
Public Act 95-707). As of August 1, 2008, the
socio-development component rate shall be equal to 6.6% of the
facility's nursing component rate as of January 1, 2006,
multiplied by a factor of 3.53. For services provided on or
after April 1, 2011, or the first day of the month that begins
at least 45 days after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 96th General Assembly, whichever is later, the
Illinois Department may by rule adjust these socio-development
component rates, and may use different adjustment
methodologies for those facilities participating, and those
not participating, in the Illinois Department's demonstration
program pursuant to the provisions of Title 77, Part 300,
Subpart T of the Illinois Administrative Code, but in no case
may such rates be diminished below those in effect on August 1,
2008.
    For facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health
under the Nursing Home Care Act as Intermediate Care for the
Developmentally Disabled facilities or as long-term care
facilities for residents under 22 years of age, the rates
taking effect on July 1, 2003 shall include a statewide
increase of 4%, as defined by the Department.
    For facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health
under the Nursing Home Care Act as Intermediate Care for the
Developmentally Disabled facilities or Long Term Care for
Under Age 22 facilities, the rates taking effect on the first
day of the month that begins at least 45 days after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General
Assembly shall include a statewide increase of 2.5%, as
defined by the Department.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, for
facilities licensed by the Department of Public Health under
the Nursing Home Care Act as skilled nursing facilities or
intermediate care facilities, effective January 1, 2005,
facility rates shall be increased by the difference between
(i) a facility's per diem property, liability, and malpractice
insurance costs as reported in the cost report filed with the
Department of Public Aid and used to establish rates effective
July 1, 2001 and (ii) those same costs as reported in the
facility's 2002 cost report. These costs shall be passed
through to the facility without caps or limitations, except
for adjustments required under normal auditing procedures.
    Rates established effective each July 1 shall govern
payment for services rendered throughout that fiscal year,
except that rates established on July 1, 1996 shall be
increased by 6.8% for services provided on or after January 1,
1997. Such rates will be based upon the rates calculated for
the year beginning July 1, 1990, and for subsequent years
thereafter until June 30, 2001 shall be based on the facility
cost reports for the facility fiscal year ending at any point
in time during the previous calendar year, updated to the
midpoint of the rate year. The cost report shall be on file
with the Department no later than April 1 of the current rate
year. Should the cost report not be on file by April 1, the
Department shall base the rate on the latest cost report filed
by each skilled care facility and intermediate care facility,
updated to the midpoint of the current rate year. In
determining rates for services rendered on and after July 1,
1985, fixed time shall not be computed at less than zero. The
Department shall not make any alterations of regulations which
would reduce any component of the Medicaid rate to a level
below what that component would have been utilizing in the
rate effective on July 1, 1984.
    (2) Shall take into account the actual costs incurred by
facilities in providing services for recipients of skilled
nursing and intermediate care services under the medical
assistance program.
    (3) Shall take into account the medical and psycho-social
characteristics and needs of the patients.
    (4) Shall take into account the actual costs incurred by
facilities in meeting licensing and certification standards
imposed and prescribed by the State of Illinois, any of its
political subdivisions or municipalities and by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to Title XIX
of the Social Security Act.
    The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall
develop precise standards for payments to reimburse nursing
facilities for any utilization of appropriate rehabilitative
personnel for the provision of rehabilitative services which
is authorized by federal regulations, including reimbursement
for services provided by qualified therapists or qualified
assistants, and which is in accordance with accepted
professional practices. Reimbursement also may be made for
utilization of other supportive personnel under appropriate
supervision.
    The Department shall develop enhanced payments to offset
the additional costs incurred by a facility serving
exceptional need residents and shall allocate at least
$4,000,000 of the funds collected from the assessment
established by Section 5B-2 of this Code for such payments.
For the purpose of this Section, "exceptional needs" means,
but need not be limited to, ventilator care and traumatic
brain injury care. The enhanced payments for exceptional need
residents under this paragraph are not due and payable,
however, until (i) the methodologies described in this
paragraph are approved by the federal government in an
appropriate State Plan amendment and (ii) the assessment
imposed by Section 5B-2 of this Code is determined to be a
permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.
    Beginning January 1, 2014 the methodologies for
reimbursement of nursing facility services as provided under
this Section 5-5.4 shall no longer be applicable for services
provided on or after January 1, 2014.
    No payment increase under this Section for the MDS
methodology, exceptional care residents, or the
socio-development component rate established by Public Act
96-1530 of the 96th General Assembly and funded by the
assessment imposed under Section 5B-2 of this Code shall be
due and payable until after the Department notifies the
long-term care providers, in writing, that the payment
methodologies to long-term care providers required under this
Section have been approved by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the waivers under 42 CFR 433.68 for the
assessment imposed by this Section, if necessary, have been
granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Upon
notification to the Department of approval of the payment
methodologies required under this Section and the waivers
granted under 42 CFR 433.68, all increased payments otherwise
due under this Section prior to the date of notification shall
be due and payable within 90 days of the date federal approval
is received.
    On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce any
rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or alter
any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any rate
of reimbursement for services or other payments in accordance
with Section 5-5e.

    (415 ILCS 5/22.15)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.15)
    Sec. 22.15. Solid Waste Management Fund; fees.
    (a) There is hereby created within the State Treasury a
special fund to be known as the Solid Waste Management Fund, to
be constituted from the fees collected by the State pursuant
to this Section, from repayments of loans made from the Fund
for solid waste projects, from registration fees collected
pursuant to the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act, and from
amounts transferred into the Fund pursuant to Public Act
100-433. Moneys received by the Department of Commerce and
Economic Opportunity in repayment of loans made pursuant to
the Illinois Solid Waste Management Act shall be deposited
into the General Revenue Fund.
    (b) The Agency shall assess and collect a fee in the amount
set forth herein from the owner or operator of each sanitary
landfill permitted or required to be permitted by the Agency
to dispose of solid waste if the sanitary landfill is located
off the site where such waste was produced and if such sanitary
landfill is owned, controlled, and operated by a person other
than the generator of such waste. The Agency shall deposit all
fees collected into the Solid Waste Management Fund. If a site
is contiguous to one or more landfills owned or operated by the
same person, the volumes permanently disposed of by each
landfill shall be combined for purposes of determining the fee
under this subsection. Beginning on July 1, 2018, and on the
first day of each month thereafter during fiscal years 2019
through 2022 2021, the State Comptroller shall direct and

    solid waste is permanently disposed of at a site in a
    calendar year, the owner or operator shall either pay a
    fee of 95 cents per cubic yard or, alternatively, the
    owner or operator may weigh the quantity of the solid
    waste permanently disposed of with a device for which
    certification has been obtained under the Weights and
    Measures Act and pay a fee of $2.00 per ton of solid waste
    permanently disposed of. In no case shall the fee
    collected or paid by the owner or operator under this
    paragraph exceed $1.55 per cubic yard or $3.27 per ton.
        (2) If more than 100,000 cubic yards but not more than
    150,000 cubic yards of non-hazardous waste is permanently
    disposed of at a site in a calendar year, the owner or
    operator shall pay a fee of $52,630.
        (3) If more than 50,000 cubic yards but not more than

    owner or operator shall pay a fee of $7,260.
        (5) If not more than 10,000 cubic yards of
    non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed of at a
    site in a calendar year, the owner or operator shall pay a
    fee of $1050.
    (c) (Blank).
    (d) The Agency shall establish rules relating to the
collection of the fees authorized by this Section. Such rules
shall include, but not be limited to:
        (1) necessary records identifying the quantities of
    solid waste received or disposed;
        (2) the form and submission of reports to accompany
    the payment of fees to the Agency;
        (3) the time and manner of payment of fees to the
    Agency, which payments shall not be more often than
    quarterly; and
        (4) procedures setting forth criteria establishing
    when an owner or operator may measure by weight or volume
    during any given quarter or other fee payment period.
    (e) Pursuant to appropriation, all monies in the Solid
Waste Management Fund shall be used by the Agency and the
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for the
purposes set forth in this Section and in the Illinois Solid
Waste Management Act, including for the costs of fee
collection and administration, and for the administration of
(1) the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act and (2) until
January 1, 2020, the Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse
Act.
    (f) The Agency is authorized to enter into such agreements
and to promulgate such rules as are necessary to carry out its
duties under this Section and the Illinois Solid Waste
Management Act.
    (g) On the first day of January, April, July, and October
of each year, beginning on July 1, 1996, the State Comptroller

the purposes set forth in item (1) of subsection (d) of Section
22.2.
    (h) The Agency is authorized to provide financial
assistance to units of local government for the performance of
inspecting, investigating and enforcement activities pursuant
to Section 4(r) at nonhazardous solid waste disposal sites.
    (i) The Agency is authorized to conduct household waste
collection and disposal programs.
    (j) A unit of local government, as defined in the Local
Solid Waste Disposal Act, in which a solid waste disposal
facility is located may establish a fee, tax, or surcharge
with regard to the permanent disposal of solid waste. All
fees, taxes, and surcharges collected under this subsection
shall be utilized for solid waste management purposes,
including long-term monitoring and maintenance of landfills,
planning, implementation, inspection, enforcement and other
activities consistent with the Solid Waste Management Act and
the Local Solid Waste Disposal Act, or for any other
environment-related purpose, including but not limited to an
environment-related public works project, but not for the
construction of a new pollution control facility other than a
household hazardous waste facility. However, the total fee,
tax or surcharge imposed by all units of local government
under this subsection (j) upon the solid waste disposal
facility shall not exceed:
        (1) 60¢ per cubic yard if more than 150,000 cubic
    yards of non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed
    of at the site in a calendar year, unless the owner or
    operator weighs the quantity of the solid waste received
    with a device for which certification has been obtained
    under the Weights and Measures Act, in which case the fee
    shall not exceed $1.27 per ton of solid waste permanently
    disposed of.
        (2) $33,350 if more than 100,000 cubic yards, but not
    more than 150,000 cubic yards, of non-hazardous waste is
    permanently disposed of at the site in a calendar year.
        (3) $15,500 if more than 50,000 cubic yards, but not
    more than 100,000 cubic yards, of non-hazardous solid
    waste is permanently disposed of at the site in a calendar
    year.
        (4) $4,650 if more than 10,000 cubic yards, but not
    more than 50,000 cubic yards, of non-hazardous solid waste
    is permanently disposed of at the site in a calendar year.
        (5) $650 if not more than 10,000 cubic yards of
    non-hazardous solid waste is permanently disposed of at
    the site in a calendar year.
    The corporate authorities of the unit of local government
may use proceeds from the fee, tax, or surcharge to reimburse a
highway commissioner whose road district lies wholly or
partially within the corporate limits of the unit of local
government for expenses incurred in the removal of
nonhazardous, nonfluid municipal waste that has been dumped on
public property in violation of a State law or local
ordinance.
    A county or Municipal Joint Action Agency that imposes a
fee, tax, or surcharge under this subsection may use the
proceeds thereof to reimburse a municipality that lies wholly
or partially within its boundaries for expenses incurred in
the removal of nonhazardous, nonfluid municipal waste that has
been dumped on public property in violation of a State law or
local ordinance.
    If the fees are to be used to conduct a local sanitary
landfill inspection or enforcement program, the unit of local
government must enter into a written delegation agreement with
the Agency pursuant to subsection (r) of Section 4. The unit of
local government and the Agency shall enter into such a
written delegation agreement within 60 days after the
establishment of such fees. At least annually, the Agency
shall conduct an audit of the expenditures made by units of
local government from the funds granted by the Agency to the
units of local government for purposes of local sanitary
landfill inspection and enforcement programs, to ensure that
the funds have been expended for the prescribed purposes under
the grant.
    The fees, taxes or surcharges collected under this
subsection (j) shall be placed by the unit of local government
in a separate fund, and the interest received on the moneys in
the fund shall be credited to the fund. The monies in the fund
may be accumulated over a period of years to be expended in
accordance with this subsection.
    A unit of local government, as defined in the Local Solid
Waste Disposal Act, shall prepare and distribute to the
Agency, in April of each year, a report that details spending
plans for monies collected in accordance with this subsection.
The report will at a minimum include the following:
        (1) The total monies collected pursuant to this
    subsection.
        (2) The most current balance of monies collected
    pursuant to this subsection.
        (3) An itemized accounting of all monies expended for
    the previous year pursuant to this subsection.
        (4) An estimation of monies to be collected for the
    following 3 years pursuant to this subsection.
        (5) A narrative detailing the general direction and
    scope of future expenditures for one, 2 and 3 years.
    The exemptions granted under Sections 22.16 and 22.16a,
and under subsection (k) of this Section, shall be applicable
to any fee, tax or surcharge imposed under this subsection
(j); except that the fee, tax or surcharge authorized to be
imposed under this subsection (j) may be made applicable by a
unit of local government to the permanent disposal of solid
waste after December 31, 1986, under any contract lawfully
executed before June 1, 1986 under which more than 150,000
cubic yards (or 50,000 tons) of solid waste is to be

    (415 ILCS 5/22.59)
    Sec. 22.59. CCR surface impoundments.
    (a) The General Assembly finds that:
        (1) the State of Illinois has a long-standing policy
    to restore, protect, and enhance the environment,
    including the purity of the air, land, and waters,
    including groundwaters, of this State;
        (2) a clean environment is essential to the growth and
    well-being of this State;
        (3) CCR generated by the electric generating industry
    has caused groundwater contamination and other forms of
    pollution at active and inactive plants throughout this
    State;
        (4) environmental laws should be supplemented to
    ensure consistent, responsible regulation of all existing
    CCR surface impoundments; and
        (5) meaningful participation of State residents,
    especially vulnerable populations who may be affected by
    regulatory actions, is critical to ensure that
    environmental justice considerations are incorporated in
    the development of, decision-making related to, and
    implementation of environmental laws and rulemaking that
    protects and improves the well-being of communities in
    this State that bear disproportionate burdens imposed by
    environmental pollution.
    Therefore, the purpose of this Section is to promote a
healthful environment, including clean water, air, and land,
meaningful public involvement, and the responsible disposal
and storage of coal combustion residuals, so as to protect
public health and to prevent pollution of the environment of
this State.
    The provisions of this Section shall be liberally
construed to carry out the purposes of this Section.
    (b) No person shall:
        (1) cause or allow the discharge of any contaminants
    from a CCR surface impoundment into the environment so as
    to cause, directly or indirectly, a violation of this
    Section or any regulations or standards adopted by the
    Board under this Section, either alone or in combination
    with contaminants from other sources;
        (2) construct, install, modify, operate, or close any
    CCR surface impoundment without a permit granted by the
    Agency, or so as to violate any conditions imposed by such
    permit, any provision of this Section or any regulations
    or standards adopted by the Board under this Section; or
        (3) cause or allow, directly or indirectly, the
    discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking,
    or placing of any CCR upon the land in a place and manner
    so as to cause or tend to cause a violation this Section or
    any regulations or standards adopted by the Board under
    this Section.
    (c) For purposes of this Section, a permit issued by the
Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency under Section 4005 of the federal Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, shall be deemed to be a permit under this
Section and subsection (y) of Section 39.
    (d) Before commencing closure of a CCR surface
impoundment, in accordance with Board rules, the owner of a
CCR surface impoundment must submit to the Agency for approval
a closure alternatives analysis that analyzes all closure
methods being considered and that otherwise satisfies all
closure requirements adopted by the Board under this Act.
Complete removal of CCR, as specified by the Board's rules,
from the CCR surface impoundment must be considered and
analyzed. Section 3.405 does not apply to the Board's rules
specifying complete removal of CCR. The selected closure
method must ensure compliance with regulations adopted by the
Board pursuant to this Section.
    (e) Owners or operators of CCR surface impoundments who
have submitted a closure plan to the Agency before May 1, 2019,
and who have completed closure prior to 24 months after July
30, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-171) this
amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly shall not be
required to obtain a construction permit for the surface
impoundment closure under this Section.
    (f) Except for the State, its agencies and institutions, a
unit of local government, or not-for-profit electric
cooperative as defined in Section 3.4 of the Electric Supplier
Act, any person who owns or operates a CCR surface impoundment
in this State shall post with the Agency a performance bond or
other security for the purpose of: (i) ensuring closure of the
CCR surface impoundment and post-closure care in accordance
with this Act and its rules; and (ii) insuring remediation of
releases from the CCR surface impoundment. The only acceptable
forms of financial assurance are: a trust fund, a surety bond
guaranteeing payment, a surety bond guaranteeing performance,
or an irrevocable letter of credit.
        (1) The cost estimate for the post-closure care of a
    CCR surface impoundment shall be calculated using a
    30-year post-closure care period or such longer period as
    may be approved by the Agency under Board or federal
    rules.
        (2) The Agency is authorized to enter into such
    contracts and agreements as it may deem necessary to carry
    out the purposes of this Section. Neither the State, nor
    the Director, nor any State employee shall be liable for
    any damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from
    any action taken under this Section.
        (3) The Agency shall have the authority to approve or
    disapprove any performance bond or other security posted
    under this subsection. Any person whose performance bond
    or other security is disapproved by the Agency may contest
    the disapproval as a permit denial appeal pursuant to
    Section 40.
    (g) The Board shall adopt rules establishing construction
permit requirements, operating permit requirements, design
standards, reporting, financial assurance, and closure and
post-closure care requirements for CCR surface impoundments.

    federal regulations or amendments thereto promulgated by
    the Administrator of the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency in Subpart D of 40 CFR 257 governing CCR
    surface impoundments;
        (2) specify the minimum contents of CCR surface
    impoundment construction and operating permit
    applications, including the closure alternatives analysis
    required under subsection (d);
        (3) specify which types of permits include
    requirements for closure, post-closure, remediation and
    all other requirements applicable to CCR surface
    impoundments;
        (4) specify when permit applications for existing CCR
    surface impoundments must be submitted, taking into
    consideration whether the CCR surface impoundment must
    close under the RCRA;
        (5) specify standards for review and approval by the
    Agency of CCR surface impoundment permit applications;
        (6) specify meaningful public participation procedures
    for the issuance of CCR surface impoundment construction
    and operating permits, including, but not limited to,
    public notice of the submission of permit applications, an
    opportunity for the submission of public comments, an
    opportunity for a public hearing prior to permit issuance,
    and a summary and response of the comments prepared by the
    Agency;
        (7) prescribe the type and amount of the performance
    bonds or other securities required under subsection (f),
    and the conditions under which the State is entitled to
    collect moneys from such performance bonds or other
    securities;
        (8) specify a procedure to identify areas of
    environmental justice concern in relation to CCR surface
    impoundments;
        (9) specify a method to prioritize CCR surface
    impoundments required to close under RCRA if not otherwise
    specified by the United States Environmental Protection
    Agency, so that the CCR surface impoundments with the
    highest risk to public health and the environment, and
    areas of environmental justice concern are given first
    priority;
        (10) define when complete removal of CCR is achieved
    and specify the standards for responsible removal of CCR
    from CCR surface impoundments, including, but not limited
    to, dust controls and the protection of adjacent surface
    water and groundwater; and
        (11) describe the process and standards for
    identifying a specific alternative source of groundwater
    pollution when the owner or operator of the CCR surface
    impoundment believes that groundwater contamination on the
    site is not from the CCR surface impoundment.
    (h) Any owner of a CCR surface impoundment that generates
CCR and sells or otherwise provides coal combustion byproducts
pursuant to Section 3.135 shall, every 12 months, post on its
publicly available website a report specifying the volume or
weight of CCR, in cubic yards or tons, that it sold or provided
during the past 12 months.
    (i) The owner of a CCR surface impoundment shall post all
closure plans, permit applications, and supporting
documentation, as well as any Agency approval of the plans or
applications on its publicly available website.
    (j) The owner or operator of a CCR surface impoundment
shall pay the following fees:
        (1) An initial fee to the Agency within 6 months after
    July 30, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-171)
    this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly of:
            $50,000 for each closed CCR surface impoundment;
        and
            $75,000 for each CCR surface impoundment that have
        not completed closure.
        (2) Annual fees to the Agency, beginning on July 1,
    2020, of:
            $25,000 for each CCR surface impoundment that has

        completed closure, but has not completed post-closure
        care.
    (k) All fees collected by the Agency under subsection (j)
shall be deposited into the Environmental Protection Permit
and Inspection Fund.
    (l) The Coal Combustion Residual Surface Impoundment
Financial Assurance Fund is created as a special fund in the
State treasury. Any moneys forfeited to the State of Illinois
from any performance bond or other security required under
this Section shall be placed in the Coal Combustion Residual
Surface Impoundment Financial Assurance Fund and shall, upon
approval by the Governor and the Director, be used by the
Agency for the purposes for which such performance bond or
other security was issued. The Coal Combustion Residual
Surface Impoundment Financial Assurance Fund is not subject to
the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 5 of the State
Finance Act.
    (m) The provisions of this Section shall apply, without
limitation, to all existing CCR surface impoundments and any
CCR surface impoundments constructed after July 30, 2019 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-171) this amendatory Act of
the 101st General Assembly, except to the extent prohibited by
the Illinois or United States Constitutions.

    Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary,
the General Assembly hereby authorizes the use of such funds
for the purposes set forth in this Section.
    These provisions do not apply to funds classified by the
Comptroller as federal trust funds or State trust funds. The
Audit Expense Fund may receive transfers from those trust
funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the
terms of the trust fund agreement. The Auditor General shall
notify the trustees of those funds of the estimated cost of the
audit to be incurred under the Illinois State Auditing Act for
the fund. The trustees of those funds shall direct the State
Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the estimated amount to
the Audit Expense Fund.
    The Auditor General may bill entities that are not subject
to the above transfer provisions, including private entities,
related organizations and entities whose funds are
locally-held, for the cost of audits, studies, and
investigations incurred on their behalf. Any revenues received
under this provision shall be deposited into the Audit Expense
Fund.
    In the event that moneys on deposit in any fund are
unavailable, by reason of deficiency or any other reason
preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall
order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer the
amount deficient or otherwise unavailable from the General
Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund.
    On or before December 1, 1992, and each December 1
thereafter, the Auditor General shall notify the Governor's
Office of Management and Budget (formerly Bureau of the
Budget) of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for
audits, studies, and investigations in accordance with the
Illinois State Auditing Act during the next succeeding fiscal
year for each State fund for which a transfer or reimbursement
is anticipated.
    Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal
year thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State
Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds
authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the event
funds, including federal and State trust funds but excluding
the General Revenue Fund, are transferred, during fiscal year
1994 and during each fiscal year thereafter, in excess of the
amount to pay actual costs attributable to audits, studies,
and investigations as permitted or required by the Illinois
State Auditing Act or specific action of the General Assembly,
the Auditor General shall, on September 30, or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, direct the State Comptroller and
Treasurer to transfer the excess amount back to the fund from
which it was originally transferred.

ARTICLE 5. GRADE CROSSING PROTECTION

 
    Section 5-5. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
Section 8 as follows:
 
    (35 ILCS 505/8)  (from Ch. 120, par. 424)
    Sec. 8. Except as provided in subsection (a-1) of this
Section, Section 8a, subdivision (h)(1) of Section 12a,
Section 13a.6, and items 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Section 15, all
money received by the Department under this Act, including
payments made to the Department by member jurisdictions
participating in the International Fuel Tax Agreement, shall
be deposited in a special fund in the State treasury, to be
known as the "Motor Fuel Tax Fund", and shall be used as
follows:
    (a) 2 1/2 cents per gallon of the tax collected on special
fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section 13a of this
Act shall be transferred to the State Construction Account
Fund in the State Treasury; the remainder of the tax collected
on special fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section
13a of this Act shall be deposited into the Road Fund;
    (a-1) Beginning on July 1, 2019, an amount equal to the
amount of tax collected under subsection (a) of Section 2 as a
result of the increase in the tax rate under Public Act 101-32
this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly shall be
transferred each month into the Transportation Renewal Fund; .
    (b) $420,000 shall be transferred each month to the State
Boating Act Fund to be used by the Department of Natural
Resources for the purposes specified in Article X of the Boat
Registration and Safety Act;
    (c) $3,500,000 shall be transferred each month to the
Grade Crossing Protection Fund to be used as follows: not less
than $12,000,000 each fiscal year shall be used for the
construction or reconstruction of rail highway grade
separation structures; $2,250,000 in fiscal years 2004 through
2009 and $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2010 and each fiscal year
thereafter shall be transferred to the Transportation
Regulatory Fund and shall be accounted for as part of the rail
carrier portion of such funds and shall be used to pay the cost
of administration of the Illinois Commerce Commission's
railroad safety program in connection with its duties under
subsection (3) of Section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, with the remainder to be used by the Department of
Transportation upon order of the Illinois Commerce Commission,
to pay that part of the cost apportioned by such Commission to
the State to cover the interest of the public in the use of
highways, roads, streets, or pedestrian walkways in the county
highway system, township and district road system, or
municipal street system as defined in the Illinois Highway
Code, as the same may from time to time be amended, for
separation of grades, for installation, construction or
reconstruction of crossing protection or reconstruction,
alteration, relocation including construction or improvement
of any existing highway necessary for access to property or
improvement of any grade crossing and grade crossing surface
including the necessary highway approaches thereto of any
railroad across the highway or public road, or for the
installation, construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of
safety treatments to deter trespassing or a pedestrian walkway
over or under a railroad right-of-way, as provided for in and
in accordance with Section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code. The Commission may order up to $2,000,000 per year in
Grade Crossing Protection Fund moneys for the improvement of
grade crossing surfaces and up to $300,000 per year for the
maintenance and renewal of 4-quadrant gate vehicle detection
systems located at non-high speed rail grade crossings. The
Commission shall not order more than $2,000,000 per year in
Grade Crossing Protection Fund moneys for pedestrian walkways.
In entering orders for projects for which payments from the
Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be made, the Commission
shall account for expenditures authorized by the orders on a
cash rather than an accrual basis. For purposes of this
requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that the total cost of
the project is expended in the fiscal year in which the order
is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the cost of the
project among fiscal years as expenditures are actually made.
To meet the requirements of this subsection, the Illinois
Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year project
plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will be paid
for with moneys from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund. The
annual project plan shall identify projects for the succeeding
fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall identify
projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years. The
Commission shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans
for this Fund to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the
Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives on the first Wednesday in April of each year;
    (d) of the amount remaining after allocations provided for
in subsections (a), (a-1), (b), and (c), a sufficient amount
shall be reserved to pay all of the following:
        (1) the costs of the Department of Revenue in
    administering this Act;
        (2) the costs of the Department of Transportation in
    performing its duties imposed by the Illinois Highway Code
    for supervising the use of motor fuel tax funds
    apportioned to municipalities, counties and road
    districts;
        (3) refunds provided for in Section 13, refunds for
    overpayment of decal fees paid under Section 13a.4 of this
    Act, and refunds provided for under the terms of the
    International Fuel Tax Agreement referenced in Section
    14a;
        (4) from October 1, 1985 until June 30, 1994, the
    administration of the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law,
    which amount shall be certified monthly by the
    Environmental Protection Agency to the State Comptroller
    and shall promptly be transferred by the State Comptroller
    and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund to the Vehicle
    Inspection Fund, and for the period July 1, 1994 through
    June 30, 2000, one-twelfth of $25,000,000 each month, for
    the period July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2003, one-twelfth
    of $30,000,000 each month, and $15,000,000 on July 1,
    2003, and $15,000,000 on January 1, 2004, and $15,000,000
    on each July 1 and October 1, or as soon thereafter as may
    be practical, during the period July 1, 2004 through June
    30, 2012, and $30,000,000 on June 1, 2013, or as soon
    thereafter as may be practical, and $15,000,000 on July 1
    and October 1, or as soon thereafter as may be practical,
    during the period of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015,
    for the administration of the Vehicle Emissions Inspection
    Law of 2005, to be transferred by the State Comptroller
    and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund into the
    Vehicle Inspection Fund;
        (4.5) beginning on July 1, 2019, the costs of the
    Environmental Protection Agency for the administration of
    the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law of 2005 shall be
    paid, subject to appropriation, from the Motor Fuel Tax
    Fund into the Vehicle Inspection Fund; beginning in 2019,
    no later than December 31 of each year, or as soon
    thereafter as practical, the State Comptroller shall
    direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer from the
    Vehicle Inspection Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund any
    balance remaining in the Vehicle Inspection Fund in excess
    of $2,000,000;
        (5) amounts ordered paid by the Court of Claims; and
        (6) payment of motor fuel use taxes due to member
    jurisdictions under the terms of the International Fuel
    Tax Agreement. The Department shall certify these amounts
    to the Comptroller by the 15th day of each month; the
    Comptroller shall cause orders to be drawn for such
    amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer those amounts
    on or before the last day of each month;
    (e) after allocations for the purposes set forth in
subsections (a), (a-1), (b), (c), and (d), the remaining
amount shall be apportioned as follows:
        (1) Until January 1, 2000, 58.4%, and beginning
    January 1, 2000, 45.6% shall be deposited as follows:
            (A) 37% into the State Construction Account Fund,
        and
            (B) 63% into the Road Fund, $1,250,000 of which
        shall be reserved each month for the Department of
        Transportation to be used in accordance with the
        provisions of Sections 6-901 through 6-906 of the
        Illinois Highway Code;
        (2) Until January 1, 2000, 41.6%, and beginning
    January 1, 2000, 54.4% shall be transferred to the
    Department of Transportation to be distributed as follows:
            (A) 49.10% to the municipalities of the State,
            (B) 16.74% to the counties of the State having
        1,000,000 or more inhabitants,
            (C) 18.27% to the counties of the State having
        less than 1,000,000 inhabitants,
            (D) 15.89% to the road districts of the State.
        If a township is dissolved under Article 24 of the
    Township Code, McHenry County shall receive any moneys
    that would have been distributed to the township under
    this subparagraph, except that a municipality that assumes
    the powers and responsibilities of a road district under
    paragraph (6) of Section 24-35 of the Township Code shall
    receive any moneys that would have been distributed to the
    township in a percent equal to the area of the dissolved
    road district or portion of the dissolved road district
    over which the municipality assumed the powers and
    responsibilities compared to the total area of the
    dissolved township. The moneys received under this
    subparagraph shall be used in the geographic area of the
    dissolved township. If a township is reconstituted as
    provided under Section 24-45 of the Township Code, McHenry
    County or a municipality shall no longer be distributed
    moneys under this subparagraph.
    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
its share of the amount apportioned to the several
municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
ascertained for such territory shall be added to the
population of the municipality as determined by the last
preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
for that municipality. If the population of any municipality
was not determined by the last Federal census preceding any
apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject
to approval of the Department which may make such corrections
as it ascertains to be necessary.
    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees
received from the residents of such counties, respectively,
during the preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State
shall, on or before April 15 of each year, transmit to the
Department of Transportation a full and complete report
showing the amount of motor vehicle license fees received from
the residents of each county, respectively, during the
preceding calendar year. The Department of Transportation
shall, each month, use for allotment purposes the last such
report received from the Secretary of State.
    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
several counties in the State in the proportion which the
total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
proportion which the total mileage of such township or
district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for
road and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
extension of such tax against the taxable property in any such
road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the
value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
less. Beginning July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an
allocation shall be made for any road district if it levied a
tax for road and bridge purposes. In counties other than
DuPage County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the
extension of the tax against the taxable property in the road
district at a rate that is less than 0.08% of the value
thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
prior to the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
by the Department of Revenue, then the amount of the
allocation for that road district shall be a percentage of the
maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by
dividing the rate extended by the district by 0.08%. In DuPage
County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the extension of
the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
rate that is less than the lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of
the taxable property in the road district, based upon the
assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
Revenue, or (ii) a rate that will yield an amount equal to
$12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
district, then the amount of the allocation for the road
district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by
the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or (ii) the rate that
will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
the jurisdiction of the road district.
    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a
proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
road district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning
in 2011 and thereafter, if any road district has levied a
special tax for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in
an amount that would require extension at a rate of not less
than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property of that road
district, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the
road district, whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a
proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
road district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment
under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less
than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment
under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to
or less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then
any allotment under this Section shall be determined by the
other levy for road and bridge purposes.
    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section
and shall qualify the road district for an allotment under
this Section.
    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
tax allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a
full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain
its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
2011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
    As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
any road district, including a county unit road district,
provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
"township or district road" means any road in the township and
district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code.
For the purposes of this Section, "township or district road"
also includes such roads as are maintained by park districts,
forest preserve districts and conservation districts. The
Department of Transportation shall determine the mileage of
all township and district roads for the purposes of making
allotments and allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in
road districts.
    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may
invest these funds until their use is required and the
interest earned by these investments shall be limited to the
same uses as the principal funds.

    Section 5-10. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 18c-7401 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/18c-7401)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 18c-7401)
    Sec. 18c-7401. Safety Requirements for Track, Facilities,
and Equipment.
    (1) General Requirements. Each rail carrier shall,
consistent with rules, orders, and regulations of the Federal
Railroad Administration, construct, maintain, and operate all
of its equipment, track, and other property in this State in
such a manner as to pose no undue risk to its employees or the
person or property of any member of the public.
    (2) Adoption of Federal Standards. The track safety
standards and accident/incident standards promulgated by the
Federal Railroad Administration shall be safety standards of
the Commission. The Commission may, in addition, adopt by
reference in its regulations other federal railroad safety
standards, whether contained in federal statutes or in
regulations adopted pursuant to such statutes.
    (3) Railroad Crossings. No public road, highway, or street
shall hereafter be constructed across the track of any rail
carrier at grade, nor shall the track of any rail carrier be
constructed across a public road, highway or street at grade,
without having first secured the permission of the Commission;
provided, that this Section shall not apply to the replacement
of lawfully existing roads, highways, and tracks. No public
pedestrian bridge or subway shall be constructed across the
track of any rail carrier without having first secured the
permission of the Commission. The Commission shall have the
right to refuse its permission or to grant it upon such terms
and conditions as it may prescribe. The Commission shall have
power to determine and prescribe the manner, including the
particular point of crossing, and the terms of installation,
operation, maintenance, use, and protection of each such
crossing.
    The Commission shall also have power, after a hearing, to
require major alteration of or to abolish any crossing,
heretofore or hereafter established, when in its opinion, the
public safety requires such alteration or abolition, and,
except in cities, villages, and incorporated towns of
1,000,000 or more inhabitants, to vacate and close that part
of the highway on such crossing altered or abolished and cause
barricades to be erected across such highway in such manner as
to prevent the use of such crossing as a highway, when, in the
opinion of the Commission, the public convenience served by
the crossing in question is not such as to justify the further
retention thereof; or to require a separation of grades, at
railroad-highway grade crossings; or to require a separation
of grades at any proposed crossing where a proposed public
highway may cross the tracks of any rail carrier or carriers;
and to prescribe, after a hearing of the parties, the terms
upon which such separations shall be made and the proportion
in which the expense of the alteration or abolition of such
crossings or the separation of such grades, having regard to
the benefits, if any, accruing to the rail carrier or any party
in interest, shall be divided between the rail carrier or
carriers affected, or between such carrier or carriers and the
State, county, municipality or other public authority in
interest. However, a public hearing by the Commission to
abolish a crossing shall not be required when the public
highway authority in interest vacates the highway. In such
instance the rail carrier, following notification to the
Commission and the highway authority, shall remove any grade
crossing warning devices and the grade crossing surface.
    The Commission shall also have power by its order to
require the reconstruction, minor alteration, minor
relocation, or improvement of any crossing (including the
necessary highway approaches thereto) of any railroad across
any highway or public road, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
subway, whether such crossing be at grade or by overhead
structure or by subway, whenever the Commission finds after a
hearing or without a hearing as otherwise provided in this
paragraph that such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
improvement is necessary to preserve or promote the safety or
convenience of the public or of the employees or passengers of
such rail carrier or carriers. By its original order or
supplemental orders in such case, the Commission may direct
such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement to
be made in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as
may be reasonable and necessary and may apportion the cost of
such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement
and the subsequent maintenance thereof, having regard to the
benefits, if any, accruing to the railroad or any party in
interest, between the rail carrier or carriers and public
utilities affected, or between such carrier or carriers and
public utilities and the State, county, municipality or other
public authority in interest. The cost to be so apportioned
shall include the cost of changes or alterations in the
equipment of public utilities affected as well as the cost of
the relocation, diversion or establishment of any public
highway, made necessary by such reconstruction, alteration,
relocation, or improvement of said crossing. A hearing shall
not be required in those instances when the Commission enters
an order confirming a written stipulation in which the
Commission, the public highway authority or other public
authority in interest, the rail carrier or carriers affected,
and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing
Protection Fund, the Illinois Department of Transportation,
agree on the reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
improvement and the subsequent maintenance thereof and the
division of costs of such changes of any grade crossing
(including the necessary highway approaches thereto) of any
railroad across any highway, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
subway.
    The Commission shall also have power to enter into
stipulated agreements with a rail carrier or rail carriers or
public authorities to fund, provide, install, and maintain
safety treatments to deter trespassing on railroad property in
accordance with paragraph (1) of Section 18c-7503 at locations
approved by such rail carrier or rail carriers following a
diagnostic evaluation between the Commission and the rail
carrier or rail carriers, including any public authority in
interest or the Federal Railroad Administration, and to order
the allocation of the cost of those treatments and their
installation and maintenance from the Grade Crossing
Protection Fund. Safety treatments approved under this
paragraph by the Commission shall be deemed adequate and
appropriate.
    Every rail carrier operating in the State of Illinois
shall construct and maintain every highway crossing over its
tracks within the State so that the roadway at the
intersection shall be as flush with the rails as superelevated
curves will allow, and, unless otherwise ordered by the
Commission, shall construct and maintain the approaches
thereto at a grade of not more than 5% within the right of way
for a distance of not less the 6 feet on each side of the
centerline of such tracks; provided, that the grades at the
approaches may be maintained in excess of 5% only when
authorized by the Commission.
    Every rail carrier operating within this State shall
remove from its right of way at all railroad-highway grade
crossings within the State, such brush, shrubbery, and trees
as is reasonably practical for a distance of not less than 500
feet in either direction from each grade crossing. The
Commission shall have power, upon its own motion, or upon
complaint, and after having made proper investigation, to
require the installation of adequate and appropriate luminous
reflective warning signs, luminous flashing signals, crossing
gates illuminated at night, or other protective devices in
order to promote and safeguard the health and safety of the
public. Luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices
installed at grade crossings, which have been approved by the
Commission, shall be deemed adequate and appropriate. The
Commission shall have authority to determine the number, type,
and location of such signs, signals, gates, or other
protective devices which, however, shall conform as near as
may be with generally recognized national standards, and the
Commission shall have authority to prescribe the division of
the cost of the installation and subsequent maintenance of
such signs, signals, gates, or other protective devices
between the rail carrier or carriers, the public highway
authority or other public authority in interest, and in
instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing Protection
Fund, the Illinois Department of Transportation. Except where
train crews provide flagging of the crossing to road users,
yield signs shall be installed at all highway intersections
with every grade crossing in this State that is not equipped
with automatic warning devices, such as luminous flashing
signals or crossing gate devices. A stop sign may be used in
lieu of the yield sign when an engineering study conducted in
cooperation with the highway authority and the Illinois
Department of Transportation has determined that a stop sign
is warranted. If the Commission has ordered the installation
of luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices at a
grade crossing not equipped with active warning devices, the
Commission shall order the installation of temporary stop
signs at the highway intersection with the grade crossing
unless an engineering study has determined that a stop sign is
not appropriate. If a stop sign is not appropriate, the
Commission may order the installation of other appropriate
supplemental signing as determined by an engineering study.
The temporary signs shall remain in place until the luminous
flashing signal or crossing gate devices have been installed.
The rail carrier is responsible for the installation and
subsequent maintenance of any required signs. The permanent
signs shall be in place by July 1, 2011.
    No railroad may change or modify the warning device system
at a railroad-highway grade crossing, including warning
systems interconnected with highway traffic control signals,
without having first received the approval of the Commission.
The Commission shall have the further power, upon application,
upon its own motion, or upon complaint and after having made
proper investigation, to require the interconnection of grade
crossing warning devices with traffic control signals at
highway intersections located at or near railroad crossings
within the distances described by the State Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices adopted pursuant to Section 11-301 of
this Code. In addition, State and local authorities may not
install, remove, modernize, or otherwise modify traffic
control signals at a highway intersection that is
interconnected or proposed to be interconnected with grade
crossing warning devices when the change affects the number,
type, or location of traffic control devices on the track
approach leg or legs of the intersection or the timing of the
railroad preemption sequence of operation until the Commission
has approved the installation, removal, modernization, or
modification. Commission approval shall be limited to
consideration of issues directly affecting the public safety
at the railroad-highway grade crossing. The electrical circuit
devices, alternate warning devices, and preemption sequences
shall conform as nearly as possible, considering the
particular characteristics of the crossing and intersection
area, to the State manual adopted by the Illinois Department
of Transportation pursuant to Section 11-301 of this Code and
such federal standards as are made applicable by subsection
(2) of this Section. In order to carry out this authority, the
Commission shall have the authority to determine the number,
type, and location of traffic control devices on the track
approach leg or legs of the intersection and the timing of the
railroad preemption sequence of operation. The Commission
shall prescribe the division of costs for installation and
maintenance of all devices required by this paragraph between
the railroad or railroads and the highway authority in
interest and in instances involving the use of the Grade
Crossing Protection Fund or a State highway, the Illinois
Department of Transportation.
    Any person who unlawfully or maliciously removes, throws
down, damages or defaces any sign, signal, gate, or other
protective device, located at or near any public grade
crossing, shall be guilty of a petty offense and fined not less
than $50 nor more than $200 for each offense. In addition to
fines levied under the provisions of this Section a person
adjudged guilty hereunder may also be directed to make
restitution for the costs of repair or replacement, or both,
necessitated by his misconduct.
    It is the public policy of the State of Illinois to enhance
public safety by establishing safe grade crossings. In order
to implement this policy, the Illinois Commerce Commission is
directed to conduct public hearings and to adopt specific
criteria by July 1, 1994, that shall be adhered to by the
Illinois Commerce Commission in determining if a grade
crossing should be opened or abolished. The following factors
shall be considered by the Illinois Commerce Commission in
developing the specific criteria for opening and abolishing
grade crossings:
        (a) timetable speed of passenger trains;
        (b) distance to an alternate crossing;
        (c) accident history for the last 5 years;
        (d) number of vehicular traffic and posted speed
    limits;
        (e) number of freight trains and their timetable
    speeds;
        (f) the type of warning device present at the grade
    crossing;
        (g) alignments of the roadway and railroad, and the
    angle of intersection of those alignments;
        (h) use of the grade crossing by trucks carrying
    hazardous materials, vehicles carrying passengers for
    hire, and school buses; and
        (i) use of the grade crossing by emergency vehicles.
    The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon petition to open or
abolish a grade crossing, shall enter an order opening or
abolishing the crossing if it meets the specific criteria
adopted by the Commission.
    Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (3), in no
instance shall a grade crossing be permanently closed without
public hearing first being held and notice of such hearing
being published in an area newspaper of local general
circulation.
    (4) Freight Trains; Radio Communications. The Commission
shall after hearing and order require that every main line
railroad freight train operating on main tracks outside of
yard limits within this State shall be equipped with a radio
communication system. The Commission after notice and hearing
may grant exemptions from the requirements of this Section as
to secondary and branch lines.
    (5) Railroad Bridges and Trestles; Walkway and Handrail.
In cases in which the Commission finds the same to be practical
and necessary for safety of railroad employees, bridges and
trestles, over and upon which railroad trains are operated,
shall include as a part thereof, a safe and suitable walkway
and handrail on one side only of such bridge or trestle, and
such handrail shall be located at the outer edge of the walkway
and shall provide a clearance of not less than 8 feet, 6
inches, from the center line of the nearest track, measured at
right angles thereto.
    (6) Packages Containing Articles for First Aid to Injured
on Trains.
        (a) All rail carriers shall provide a first aid kit
    that contains, at a minimum, those articles prescribed by
    the Commission, on each train or engine, for first aid to
    persons who may be injured in the course of the operation
    of such trains.
        (b) A vehicle, excluding a taxi cab used in an
    emergency situation, operated by a contract carrier
    transporting railroad employees in the course of their
    employment shall be equipped with a readily available
    first aid kit that contains, as a minimum, the same
    articles that are required on each train or engine.
    (7) Abandoned Bridges, Crossings, and Other Rail Plant.
The Commission shall have authority, after notice and hearing,
to order:
        (a) the removal of any abandoned railroad tracks from
    roads, streets or other thoroughfares in this State; and
        (b) the removal of abandoned overhead railroad
    structures crossing highways, waterways, or railroads.
    The Commission may equitably apportion the cost of such
actions between the rail carrier or carriers, public
utilities, and the State, county, municipality, township, road
district, or other public authority in interest.
    (8) Railroad-Highway Bridge Clearance. A vertical
clearance of not less than 23 feet above the top of rail shall
be provided for all new or reconstructed highway bridges
constructed over a railroad track. The Commission may permit a
lesser clearance if it determines that the 23-foot clearance
standard cannot be justified based on engineering,
operational, and economic conditions.
    (9) Right of Access To Railroad Property.
        (a) A community antenna television company franchised
    by a municipality or county pursuant to the Illinois
    Municipal Code or the Counties Code, respectively, shall
    not enter upon any real estate or rights-of-way in the
    possession or control of a railroad subject to the
    jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission unless
    the community antenna television company first complies
    with the applicable provisions of subparagraph (f) of
    Section 11-42-11.1 of the Illinois Municipal Code or
    subparagraph (f) of Section 5-1096 of the Counties Code.
        (b) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
    contrary, this subsection (9) applies to all entries of
    railroad rights-of-way involving a railroad subject to the
    jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission by a
    community antenna television company and shall govern in
    the event of any conflict with any other provision of law.
        (c) This subsection (9) applies to any entry upon any
    real estate or right-of-way in the possession or control
    of a railroad subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois
    Commerce Commission for the purpose of or in connection
    with the construction, or installation of a community
    antenna television company's system or facilities
    commenced or renewed on or after August 22, 2017 (the
    effective date of Public Act 100-251).
        (d) Nothing in Public Act 100-251 shall be construed
    to prevent a railroad from negotiating other terms and
    conditions or the resolution of any dispute in relation to
    an entry upon or right of access as set forth in this
    subsection (9).
        (e) For purposes of this subsection (9):
        "Broadband service", "cable operator", and "holder"
    have the meanings given to those terms under Section
    21-201 of the Public Utilities Act.
        "Community antenna television company" includes, in
    the case of real estate or rights-of-way in possession of
    or in control of a railroad, a holder, cable operator, or
    broadband service provider.
        (f) Beginning on August 22, 2017 (the effective date
    of Public Act 100-251), the Transportation Division of the
    Illinois Commerce Commission shall include in its annual
    Crossing Safety Improvement Program report a brief
    description of the number of cases decided by the Illinois
    Commerce Commission and the number of cases that remain
    pending before the Illinois Commerce Commission under this
    subsection (9) for the period covered by the report.

    Section 6-10. The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act is
amended by changing Section 6 as follows:
 
    (35 ILCS 145/6)  (from Ch. 120, par. 481b.36)
    Sec. 6. Filing of returns and distribution of proceeds.
    Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
before the last day of each calendar month, every person
engaged in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms
in a hotel in this State during the preceding calendar month
shall file a return with the Department, stating:
        1. The name of the operator;
        2. His residence address and the address of his
    principal place of business and the address of the
    principal place of business (if that is a different
    address) from which he engages in the business of renting,
    leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in this State;
        3. Total amount of rental receipts received by him
    during the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing
    or letting rooms during such preceding calendar month;
        4. Total amount of rental receipts received by him
    during the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing
    or letting rooms to permanent residents during such
    preceding calendar month;
        5. Total amount of other exclusions from gross rental
    receipts allowed by this Act;
        6. Gross rental receipts which were received by him
    during the preceding calendar month and upon the basis of
    which the tax is imposed;
        7. The amount of tax due;
        8. Such other reasonable information as the Department
    may require.
    If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
return for January, February and March of a given year being
due by April 30 of such year; with the return for April, May
and June of a given year being due by July 31 of such year;
with the return for July, August and September of a given year
being due by October 31 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 31 of the following year.
    If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for
a given year being due by January 31 of the following year.
    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
monthly returns.
    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which an operator may file his return, in the
case of any operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such operator shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than 1 month after discontinuing such
business.
    Where the same person has more than 1 business registered
with the Department under separate registrations under this
Act, such person shall not file each return that is due as a
single return covering all such registered businesses, but
shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
    In his return, the operator shall determine the value of
any consideration other than money received by him in
connection with the renting, leasing or letting of rooms in
the course of his business and he shall include such value in
his return. Such determination shall be subject to review and
revision by the Department in the manner hereinafter provided
for the correction of returns.
    Where the operator is a corporation, the return filed on
behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
accredited agent of such corporation.
    The person filing the return herein provided for shall, at
the time of filing such return, pay to the Department the
amount of tax herein imposed. The operator filing the return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such return,
pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act
less a discount of 2.1% or $25 per calendar year, whichever is
greater, which is allowed to reimburse the operator for the
expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing
returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
Department on request.
    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
operator's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
return, the Department may authorize the operator to credit
such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
taken was not actually due to the operator, the operator's
discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
actually due, and that operator shall be liable for penalties
and interest on such difference.
    There shall be deposited in the Build Illinois Fund in the
State Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of
total net proceeds from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of
Section 3. Of the remaining 60%, $5,000,000 shall be deposited
in the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the
Subsidy Account each fiscal year by making monthly deposits in
the amount of 1/8 of $5,000,000 plus cumulative deficiencies
in such deposits for prior months, and an additional
$8,000,000 shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund and credited to the Advance Account each
fiscal year by making monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of
$8,000,000 plus any cumulative deficiencies in such deposits
for prior months; provided, that for fiscal years ending after
June 30, 2001, the amount to be so deposited into the Illinois
Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the Advance Account
each fiscal year shall be increased from $8,000,000 to the
then applicable Advance Amount and the required monthly
deposits beginning with July 2001 shall be in the amount of 1/8
of the then applicable Advance Amount plus any cumulative
deficiencies in those deposits for prior months. (The deposits
of the additional $8,000,000 or the then applicable Advance
Amount, as applicable, during each fiscal year shall be
treated as advances of funds to the Illinois Sports Facilities
Authority for its corporate purposes to the extent paid to the
Authority or its trustee and shall be repaid into the General
Revenue Fund in the State Treasury by the State Treasurer on
behalf of the Authority pursuant to Section 19 of the Illinois
Sports Facilities Authority Act, as amended. If in any fiscal
year the full amount of the then applicable Advance Amount is
not repaid into the General Revenue Fund, then the deficiency
shall be paid from the amount in the Local Government
Distributive Fund that would otherwise be allocated to the
City of Chicago under the State Revenue Sharing Act.)
    For purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the term "Advance
Amount" means, for fiscal year 2002, $22,179,000, and for
subsequent fiscal years through fiscal year 2033 2032,
105.615% of the Advance Amount for the immediately preceding
fiscal year, rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
    Of the remaining 60% of the amount of total net proceeds
prior to August 1, 2011 from the tax imposed by subsection (a)
of Section 3 after all required deposits in the Illinois
Sports Facilities Fund, the amount equal to 8% of the net
revenue realized from this Act plus an amount equal to 8% of
the net revenue realized from any tax imposed under Section
4.05 of the Chicago World's Fair-1992 Authority Act during the
preceding month shall be deposited in the Local Tourism Fund
each month for purposes authorized by Section 605-705 of the
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law (20 ILCS
605/605-705). Of the remaining 60% of the amount of total net
proceeds beginning on August 1, 2011 from the tax imposed by
subsection (a) of Section 3 after all required deposits in the
Illinois Sports Facilities Fund, an amount equal to 8% of the
net revenue realized from this Act plus an amount equal to 8%
of the net revenue realized from any tax imposed under Section
4.05 of the Chicago World's Fair-1992 Authority Act during the
preceding month shall be deposited as follows: 18% of such
amount shall be deposited into the Chicago Travel Industry
Promotion Fund for the purposes described in subsection (n) of
Section 5 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority
Act and the remaining 82% of such amount shall be deposited
into the Local Tourism Fund each month for purposes authorized
by Section 605-705 of the Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity Law. Beginning on August 1, 1999 and ending on
July 31, 2011, an amount equal to 4.5% of the net revenue
realized from the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act during
the preceding month shall be deposited into the International
Tourism Fund for the purposes authorized in Section 605-707 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law.
Beginning on August 1, 2011, an amount equal to 4.5% of the net
revenue realized from this Act during the preceding month
shall be deposited as follows: 55% of such amount shall be
deposited into the Chicago Travel Industry Promotion Fund for
the purposes described in subsection (n) of Section 5 of the
Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act and the
remaining 45% of such amount deposited into the International
Tourism Fund for the purposes authorized in Section 605-707 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law. "Net
revenue realized for a month" means the revenue collected by
the State under that Act during the previous month less the
amount paid out during that same month as refunds to taxpayers
for overpayment of liability under that Act.
    After making all these deposits, all other proceeds of the
tax imposed under subsection (a) of Section 3 shall be
deposited in the Tourism Promotion Fund in the State Treasury.
All moneys received by the Department from the additional tax
imposed under subsection (b) of Section 3 shall be deposited
into the Build Illinois Fund in the State Treasury.
    The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the operator's last State income
tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported
in the State income tax return do not agree with the gross
receipts reported to the Department for the same period, the
operator shall attach to his annual information return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The operator's annual information
return to the Department shall also disclose pay roll
information of the operator's business during the year covered
by such return and any additional reasonable information which
the Department deems would be helpful in determining the
accuracy of the monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns by
such operator as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
    If the annual information return required by this Section
is not filed when and as required the taxpayer shall be liable
for a penalty in an amount determined in accordance with
Section 3-4 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act until such
return is filed as required, the penalty to be assessed and
collected in the same manner as any other penalty provided for
in this Act.
    The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
    The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the
filing of an annual information return shall not apply to an
operator who is not required to file an income tax return with
the United States Government.

the public purposes of realizing savings in the effective
costs of debt service, directly or through a debt
restructuring, for alleviating impending or actual default, or

provide for payment of principal and interest thereon, and any
redemption premium, as provided in the authorizing resolution,
shall not be considered outstanding for the purposes of this
paragraph.
    (H) The bonds and notes of the Authority shall not be
indebtedness of the City of Chicago, of the State, or of any
political subdivision of the State other than the Authority.
The bonds and notes of the Authority are not general
obligations of the State of Illinois or the City of Chicago, or
of any other political subdivision of the State other than the
Authority, and are not secured by a pledge of the full faith
and credit of the State of Illinois or the City of Chicago, or

of Illinois or the City of Chicago or any other political
subdivision of the State other than the Authority to the
payment of bonds and notes of the Authority.
    (I) In order to provide for the payment of debt service
requirements (including amounts for reserve funds and to pay
the costs of credit enhancements) on bonds issued pursuant to
this Act, the Authority may provide in any trust agreement
securing such bonds for a pledge and assignment of its right to
all amounts to be received from the Illinois Sports Facilities
Fund and for a pledge and assignment (subject to the terms of
any management agreement or assistance agreement) of all taxes
and other amounts to be received under Section 19 of this Act
and may further provide by written notice to the State
Treasurer and State Comptroller (which notice shall constitute
a direction to those officers) for a direct payment of these
amounts to the trustee for its bondholders.
    (J) The State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with the
holders of the bonds and notes of the Authority issued
pursuant to this Act that the State will not limit or alter the
rights and powers vested in the Authority by this Act so as to
impair the terms of any contract made by the Authority with
such holders or in any way impair the rights and remedies of
such holders until such bonds and notes, together with
interest thereon, with interest on any unpaid installments of
interest, and all costs and expenses in connection with any
action or proceedings by or on behalf of such holders, are
fully met and discharged. In addition, the State pledges to
and agrees with the holders of the bonds and notes of the
Authority issued pursuant to this Act that the State will not
limit or alter the basis on which State funds are to be
allocated, deposited and paid to the Authority as provided in
this Act, or the use of such funds, so as to impair the terms
of any such contract. The Authority is authorized to include
these pledges and agreements of the State in any contract with
the holders of bonds or notes issued pursuant to this Section.
Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
is intended to limit or alter the rights and powers of the
Authority so as to impair the terms of any contract made by the
Authority with the holders of the bonds and notes of the
Authority issued pursuant to this Act.
