    (35 ILCS 5/917)  (from Ch. 120, par. 9-917)
    Sec. 917. Confidentiality and information sharing.
    (a) Confidentiality. Except as provided in this Section,
all information received by the Department from returns filed
under this Act, or from any investigation conducted under the
provisions of this Act, shall be confidential, except for
official purposes within the Department or pursuant to
official procedures for collection of any State tax or
pursuant to an investigation or audit by the Illinois State
Scholarship Commission of a delinquent student loan or
monetary award or enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty
or sanction imposed by this Act or by another statute imposing
a State tax, and any person who divulges any such information
in any manner, except for such purposes and pursuant to order
of the Director or in accordance with a proper judicial order,
shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. However, the
provisions of this paragraph are not applicable to information
furnished to (i) the Department of Healthcare and Family
Services (formerly Department of Public Aid), State's
Attorneys, and the Attorney General for child support
enforcement purposes and (ii) a licensed attorney representing
the taxpayer where an appeal or a protest has been filed on
behalf of the taxpayer. If it is necessary to file information
obtained pursuant to this Act in a child support enforcement
proceeding, the information shall be filed under seal. The
furnishing upon request of the Auditor General, or his or her
authorized agents, for official use of returns filed and
information related thereto under this Act is deemed to be an
official purpose within the Department within the meaning of
this Section.
    (b) Public information. Nothing contained in this Act
shall prevent the Director from publishing or making available
to the public the names and addresses of persons filing
returns under this Act, or from publishing or making available
reasonable statistics concerning the operation of the tax
wherein the contents of returns are grouped into aggregates in
such a way that the information contained in any individual
return shall not be disclosed.
    (c) Governmental agencies. The Director may make available
to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States or his
delegate, or the proper officer or his delegate of any other
state imposing a tax upon or measured by income, for
exclusively official purposes, information received by the
Department in the administration of this Act, but such
permission shall be granted only if the United States or such
other state, as the case may be, grants the Department
substantially similar privileges. The Director may exchange
information with the Department of Healthcare and Family
Services and the Department of Human Services (acting as
successor to the Department of Public Aid under the Department
of Human Services Act) for the purpose of verifying sources
and amounts of income and for other purposes directly
connected with the administration of this Act, the Illinois
Public Aid Code, and any other health benefit program
administered by the State. The Director may exchange
information with the Director of the Department of Employment
Security for the purpose of verifying sources and amounts of
income and for other purposes directly connected with the
administration of this Act and Acts administered by the
Department of Employment Security. The Director may make

information regarding employers for the purpose of verifying
the insurance coverage required under the Workers'

exchange information with the State Treasurer's Office for the
purpose of administering the Illinois Higher Education Savings
Program established under Section 16.8 of the State Treasurer
Act.
    The Director may make available to any State agency,
including the Illinois Supreme Court, which licenses persons
to engage in any occupation, information that a person
licensed by such agency has failed to file returns under this
Act or pay the tax, penalty and interest shown therein, or has
failed to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or interest
due under this Act. The Director may make available to any
State agency, including the Illinois Supreme Court,
information regarding whether a bidder, contractor, or an
affiliate of a bidder or contractor has failed to file returns
under this Act or pay the tax, penalty, and interest shown
therein, or has failed to pay any final assessment of tax,
penalty, or interest due under this Act, for the limited
purpose of enforcing bidder and contractor certifications. For
purposes of this Section, the term "affiliate" means any
entity that (1) directly, indirectly, or constructively
controls another entity, (2) is directly, indirectly, or
constructively controlled by another entity, or (3) is subject
to the control of a common entity. For purposes of this

directly or individually, more than 10% of the voting
securities of that entity. As used in this subsection (a), the
term "voting security" means a security that (1) confers upon
the holder the right to vote for the election of members of the
board of directors or similar governing body of the business
or (2) is convertible into, or entitles the holder to receive

government, and school districts, information regarding
whether a bidder or contractor is an affiliate of a person who
is not collecting and remitting Illinois Use taxes, for the
limited purpose of enforcing bidder and contractor
certifications.
    The Director may also make available to the Secretary of
State information that a corporation which has been issued a
certificate of incorporation by the Secretary of State has
failed to file returns under this Act or pay the tax, penalty
and interest shown therein, or has failed to pay any final
assessment of tax, penalty or interest due under this Act. An
assessment is final when all proceedings in court for review
of such assessment have terminated or the time for the taking
thereof has expired without such proceedings being instituted.
For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the
Director may make available to the Director or principal
officer of any Department of the State of Illinois,
information that a person employed by such Department has
failed to file returns under this Act or pay the tax, penalty
and interest shown therein. For purposes of this paragraph,
the word "Department" shall have the same meaning as provided
in Section 3 of the State Employees Group Insurance Act of
1971.
    (d) The Director shall make available for public
inspection in the Department's principal office and for
publication, at cost, administrative decisions issued on or

Costs collected under this Section shall be paid into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund.
    (e) Nothing contained in this Act shall prevent the
Director from divulging information to any person pursuant to
a request or authorization made by the taxpayer, by an
authorized representative of the taxpayer, or, in the case of
information related to a joint return, by the spouse filing
the joint return with the taxpayer.

    If any person whose license has been canceled wishes to
apply for another license, whether during the same license
year or any other year, that person shall be treated as a new
applicant and the cancellation of the person's prior license
shall not, in and of itself, be a bar to the issuance of a new
license.
    (i) A license issued under this Section may be canceled
without a hearing if the Secretary of State is notified that
the applicant, or any officer, director, shareholder having a
10% or greater ownership interest, owner, partner, trustee,
manager, employee, or member of the applicant or the licensee
has been convicted of any forcible felony or any felony
involving the selling, bartering, exchanging, offering for
sale, or otherwise dealing in ownership documents relating to
any of the above actions.
    (j) The appropriate instrument evidencing the license or a
certified copy of the instrument, provided by the Secretary of
State, shall be kept posted conspicuously in the established
place of business of the licensee.
    (k) All records related to the purchase, sale, or
acceptance for sale on consignment of any manufactured home
shall be maintained at the licensee's established place of
business. These records shall be retained for a period of not
less than 7 years, and shall be made available for inspection
upon the request of a Secretary of State auditor or an
investigator with the Secretary of State Department of Police.
    (l) Except as provided in subsection (i), all licenses
granted under this Section shall expire by operation of law on
December 31st of the calendar year for which the licenses were
granted, unless sooner revoked or canceled under subsection
(f).
    (m) Each person licensed as a manufactured home dealer is
required to furnish each purchaser of a manufactured home:
        (1) in the case of a new manufactured home, a
    manufacturer's statement of origin, and in the case of a
    previously owned manufactured home, a certificate of
    title, in either case properly assigned to the purchaser;
        (2) a statement verified under oath that all
    identifying numbers on the vehicle match the identifying
    numbers on the certificate of title or manufacturer's
    statement of origin;
        (3) a bill of sale properly executed on behalf of the
    purchaser; and
        (4) for a new manufactured home, a warranty, and in
    the case of a manufactured home for which the warranty has
    been reinstated, a copy of the warranty; if no warranty is
    provided, a disclosure or statement that the manufactured
    home is being sold "AS IS".
    (n) This Section does not apply to a seller who privately
owns his or her manufactured home as his or her main residence
and is selling the manufactured home to another individual or
to a licensee so long as that individual does not sell more
than 2 manufactured homes in one 12-month period.
    (o) This Section does not apply to any person licensed
under the Real Estate License Act of 2000.
    (p) The Secretary of State may adopt any rules necessary
to implement this Section.
    (q) Any individual or entity licensed as a manufactured
home dealer or a community-based manufactured home dealer on
the effective date of this Section shall be entitled to act as
a manufactured home dealer under this Section for the duration
of any license in effect on the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, and shall be
eligible to be issued a manufactured home dealer's license
under this Section upon the expiration of any such license.
